Leo reluctantly let go of my arm to pull out my chair for me. I tried not to shiver as he brushed his hand along the bare skin of my back as he left to take his own seat. Heat built in my core at the slightest of his touches. In the center of the table was a beautiful bowl full of meringue covered ice cream. The caterer gave me a nervous smile as she cut an orange peel into a long thin string. After pouring liquor on the meringue, she dipped the string of orange peel into a saucer of Grand Marnier. With a deep breath, she lit the orange peel on fire.

He threw a black credit chip at the stunned vendor and grabbed a basket. My breath caught. He grabbed a fruit with a bright, sunrise-orange rind. A citrus variety notorious for its high photochemical content—a concentrated essence of sunlight in liquid form. Deadly to vampires in large doses. Agonizing to any with vampiric blood in their system. He started shoving the peeled segments into his mouth, juice running down his chin.

He nodded towards them. “Oranges are addictive though. Thousand years ago no one could exist without their morning OJ’s.” Darius frowned slightly. “Did not understand that at all. But if you are asking me, I choose apples.. It’s very simple. Oranges are very bright, flashy and... bright and flashy does not mean anything good. Once one of us tried a huge bright red mushroom and ended up with food poisoning.” “Apples are red.” Nicolai picked up one. “They Are red and flashy....”

Red for the cherry flavor; orange for tangerine; yellow for mango; green for the green tea ice cream (macha); blue for blueberry; indigo for the black raspberry ice cream flavor; and last was the violet for the purple yam ice cream (ube) "Err??? Are you sure we can eat that whole? That ice cream was way too big! Maybe we can choose something else..." Audrey suggested, but Nero only snorted at her. "MEOW" [Gosh, what are you even thinking of??? Of course, it's not for us. It's for Monami! She loves sweets!] "Ohhhhh?????" So her cat happened to ask her to buy a big set of parfait just to impress his lover. Great just great! But as a supportive master to her pet's love life, Audrey still ended

Instead, she reached for a small, simmering copper pot hanging over the hearth and carefully poured a steaming, deep red liquid into a ceramic mug. "Drink this," Karla instructed gently, pressing the warm mug into his large hands. "It is a restorative tonic I have been working on. I call it the Velvet Orchard – a blend of dark cherry bark, crushed orchard berries, and a drop of sweet syrup. It will help settle the adrenaline in your blood."

Jin said with a bit of pain. “Bah ah, how can this orange be delicious?” Lisa asked him with a bitter face. This orange tasted different from what she remembered. "This is used to make medicinal herbs, of course it won't taste good." Jin couldn't help but laugh bitterly at her pained expression. "Medicine? Isn't this a sweet orange?" Lisa looked puzzled at the remaining eight oranges. Did she choose the wrong one? Didn't she give him ten gold bars for what? "I'm growing sweet varieties, and I haven't had time to successfully plant them yet." Jin explained, then looked at Lisa in surprise.

This fucking Demigod looked like he had just walked out of a magazine. I had always wondered how he'd look while naked. Sorry, us. And here we were, clothes ripped off and ready for sin. “You'd be my stepsister in a few weeks, don't you care?” I shook my head quickly, almost like cutting him off. “No, I don't.” “This is forbidden.” He pressed a smirk on his lips. He wasn't just interrogating me, he wanted to know the level of my desperation—how eager I was for this. “Rotten Fruit tastes sweetest,” I mentioned, grinning like an idiot. “Soren, now I don't care about fucking taboos.”

She questioned. "I—" Merrigold stuttered not knowing what would be the appropriate response. "Anyways, I thought to bring you some oranges. They're really good for the baby." Merrigold stared at the woman's outstretched hand with an orange in her palm. Fearing for her life, she hesitantly declined by shaking her head. "How would I kill you with an unpeeled orange dear?"

Theo's eyes sparkled with curiosity as he held up a vibrant red apple and a bright orange carrot. "Ah, that's a great question, Theo!" Teacher Mike exclaimed, his eyes twinkling with delight. "Fruits and vegetables get their colors from pigments, which are natural compounds that give them their vibrant hues. For example, the red color of the apple comes from a pigment called anthocyanin, while the orange color of the carrot comes from beta-carotene. These pigments not only make the fruits and vegetables look colorful but also provide important nutrients for our bodies." Theo listened intently, absorbing the information like a young scholar eager to learn. His mind raced with new questions an

Aurora paused to sip her drink. "Please eat and drink," she stated. "There is a selection of my favourite treats, both sweet and savoury. I am sure you will find something that appeals to you." I noticed a small bite-sized slice that looked similar to a caramel slice. There was a difference in the appearance. The top layer seemed to swirl and move with gold flecks floating through it. When I touched the top, it felt solid and stopped moving. As soon as I lifted my finger, it flowed, twisting and swirling across the surface of the slice.
