After returning to the room with Hilia, Elina rubbed her stomach, which only had a little bit to eat, and grumbled through clenched teeth, "Thank you, Miss Xilia, for getting me out of that situation. I really do appreciate it."
Hilia turned back with a smile, showing her white teeth, "No need to be polite. I should thank you for letting me sneak in on the City Lord's lavish lunch."
Elina was instantly annoyed, grinding her teeth.
Grow~
Just then, her stomach embarrassingly growled.
Elina's face visibly turned red.
Hilia was shocked, "You haven't eaten?"
Elina: "..."
Hilia apologized, "I'm sorry. I didn't know you hadn't eaten. Why don't you go grab something now? The City Lord and others probably haven't left yet."
Elina immediately shook her head, "No, I'm not hungry. I'm leaving. Thank you for saving me last night, and thanks for your 'hospitality' just now. See you if fate allows."
With that, she entered the room to pack her bag.
