Synopsis

The chapter revolves around the protagonist fulfilling a promise to the goddess Freya by offering a "shelling cookie" to the individual who vanquished an evil spirit. It's revealed that the Duke was the one who dealt with the spirit. This act leads to comedic moments as others become interested in the cookies, specifically Sharkis who is comically denied one due to his phrasing. The protagonist also reflects on the unique nature of the cookies and their desire to keep a secret stash.
