"Your Highness, it's all ready. But I'm a little confused. Is anyone coming?"
"Go on night patrol!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! I obey!"
In the darkness, a small figure swayed back and forth.
"The kitchen should be here!" I arrived at the kitchen based on my memory.
As if enveloped in an ethereal aura that seemed to grant longevity, I took a deep breath and exclaimed with great satisfaction, "I've arrived!"
Chicken, duck, porridge, and a pot of osmanthus wine sitting beside it, still faintly steaming.

"I am of noble status, how can I sit with a mere maid like you!"
"What's wrong with a maid? People aren't divided into different classes; we all drink the same water and breathe the same air!"
He wouldn't let me sit, but I insisted on sitting down anyway, just to annoy him. Strangely, he didn't get angry.
