"Lyria."
As the door to the room opened, Lyria was surprised to see a pair of familiar emerald eyes. For a brief moment, both of them froze. She clearly saw the flicker of surprise in his eyes before Fenric called out to her, "Lyria."
He glanced around before stepping back out of the room to check the room number, as if wanting to confirm he had not entered the wrong place. After confirming that he was indeed in the right room, he returned and slowly sat down opposite her, his expression still carrying a trace of disbelief.
"So… you're the fiancée," he said after a moment, clearly shocked.
Lyria gave a small smile. "Me too. And please, why did you take so long? I already had lunch because I was tired of waiting."
Knowing he had intentionally been late, he quickly apologized.
"I am sorry about that. I was very busy last night and ended up oversleeping."
After a brief pause he added, "As punishment, I will pay for everything today."
