With their lunch finished, Renzille delicately dabbed a napkin on her face, carefully wiping away any traces of food.
Kreios glanced up from his empty plate, his gaze meeting Renzille's and offered her a warm smile. "Thank you for bringing me to a fancy restaurant like this, my lady."
Renzille nodded her head gently. "You're welcome, but remember, things like this will become your new normal now that you're my husband."
Kreios nodded silently, understanding the weight of her words.
Satisfied, Renzille stood up from her seat and declared, leaving no room for argument. "Let's go now. It's time to return to the orphanage."
Kreios promptly rose from his chair as well, his gaze glued on her form, ready to follow her lead.
With Renzille and Kreios walking away from their secluded corner, Brunelle started trailing behind them and navigated their way past the tables, their footsteps cushioned by the plush carpet that covered the restaurant floor.
