The maid of House Miles carefully placed the small chocolate bars onto a short white ceramic plate decorated with elegant blue patterns that intertwined with delicate pink flowers around the edges.
After making sure everything was neatly arranged, she carried the plate with both hands and gracefully walked back toward Lucy.
She stopped before her and lowered the plate slightly.
Lucy politely bowed before accepting it with both hands.
"Thank you."
She smiled softly.
The maid returned the smile with a respectful nod before quietly stepping back to her original position among the other servants.
Lucy picked up one of the chocolate bars.
She slowly took a small bite, allowing the sweetness to gradually melt inside her mouth instead of hurriedly swallowing it.
The rich taste spread across her tongue.
Almost unconsciously...
Her free hand rose and gently rested against her cheek.
A satisfied smile slowly appeared on her face as she quietly enjoyed the snack.
