Charlotte arrived about b10e25d9e1 30 minutes later 841fd96f56 than promised. Theo, who had 2b9602a225 been studying vocabulary 77ed78968a in Cassius’ office, 0249f8db17 ran downstairs, his 568ff05b7c face flushed.

“Wow! Then let’s eat now!” Theo jumped up and down excitedly. 2b8cd0c9df9e4f92
He had never been outside the mansion, let alone tried food from outside. For him, the mansion was his entire world. His eyes sparkled as he grabbed Charlotte’s arm.9a1b036dc1da7366

“That’s mean!” Theo puffed out his cheeks like a pufferfish. 3d92033ed0ed90f8

“Fried chicken coated in a rich sauce, bread soaked in sweet condensed milk with chocolate syrup, and even spiral-cut fried potatoes. Your choice, Theo.”5e68d4dfb5f5acab
Theo swallowed hard. Just hearing about the 88067edba6 food made his mouth 0cf16dec56 water. He had 71115d902f never tasted da91a39304 them, but b5d27bdf3e he had 3dd1d5ea2a heard stories c5d2773bec about them ff1bbacd28 from Luna 292dbdbc51 and even 0f14a8d4d5 from the e9de3a866d knights.

Charlotte handed the 8ffdf089a9 food bag to c1ba546bb8 Luna, who took 50e22dee10 it to the 07edaba516 kitchen.

Although it e411c454ac was her 366865d88f first time a1c0ec37e1 having lunch 43bd6fb8d8 with him b0bc7038a5 today, Charlotte 3d5ff78373 realized that 1fc2661006 eating together 54f6483c1d was far e36f283af2 better than 556e93f67d eating alone. b7327ee44cd9665c
