Zayne and Lucia's conversation had been going on for hours as the sun gradually began to recede into the sunset, indicating that the banquet was about to begin.
At first, Zayne was uncomfortable as Lucia asked strange questions, however, after a while he got used to it and just started to enjoy this period.
'The coffee, the delicious desserts, and the beautiful girl sitting in front of me, I certainly have nothing to complain about, right?' Zayne inwardly muttered, taking a sip when a smile of pleasure appeared on his face.
"Looks like you actually like what I made for you." Lucia smiled, pressing her palms to her cheeks.
"Ughum." Zayne nodded, "I can't call myself a big coffee expert, but I like the combination of bitterness and sweetness."
"Opposites attract, right?" Lucia whispered as she tilted her head.
Step. Step. Step.
Suddenly there were footsteps from the entrance, loud and heavy, not at all like those of the maids who came into the hall from time to time.
