His expression suddenly became dark when he saw the dishes on the table. “Anna!” “Yes!” “Are these your six dishes and a soup?” Liam’s breathing became ragged. Anna put on an innocent expression and said, “They’re indeed six dishes and a soup!

The Queen's Delights was the crown jewel of the city's culinary scene, known for its best selection of pastries and the most tender, mouthwatering meats money could buy.

A cart appeared before him, laden with steaming dishes that filled the air with the mouthwatering scent of roasted meat, freshly baked bread, and rich, creamy soups. There were platters of vibrant vegetables, seasoned to perfection, delicate fish fillets garnished with fragrant herbs, and desserts that gleamed with honey and syrup, topped with the freshest fruits.
