"Because I just had my brunch before coming here, Prince" Evelina said in a professional tone and directed a sickly sweet and fake smile towards Antonio.
Antonio grunted in a low tone and narrowed his eyes at Evelina who was teasing him without any qualms.
"I'm sure one serving of flower porridge is not enough to fill your stomach Princess and you are growing thinner, I am afraid you might fly away even with the slightest breeze brushing past you" Antonio said in a fake worried and concerned tone.
Evelina looked at him calmly, after a moment a beautiful smile adorned her lips, which made her look like ethereal beauty which she was.
"I ate two servings of flower porridge and I am not skinny from any angle. About me flying away by the breeze, I can fly whenever I want, no matter if I am skinny or fat, don't forget that my Primary element is Air, Prince" Evelina said in a calm tone but as a final blow smirked in Antonio's direction.
"Then why are you here if you are not going to eat" Antonio asked in a grumpy tone.
"I am here to keep my friends company, I don't see any problem here Prince" Evelina said as she chuckled softly at how childish Antonio and herself were acting right now.
Antonio did not retort back as he knew it a losing argument, he was foolish enough to start an argument with Evelina because no one has ever won an argument with Evelina because she never participated in something unless and until she knew she was going to win in every condition.
"Here try this, you would like this" James said as he placed a piece of fish after debonning it deftly.
Evelina looked at the fish in her plate, she then picked up her fork and knife and started eating it properly.
"It is good" Evelina said as she had first bite, she smiled softly.
"Here, have some more" James said as he placed some more after debonning them.
Everyone around them looked at them in shock and surprise, they were simply speechless by the manner these two were behaving.
"Eva how about braised meat" Dominique asked as she pointed towards the braised meat which was in front of her.
"No, I am already full" Evelina said as she smiled softly and refused politely.
Others were simply speechless and dumbstruck, Evelina then continued eating the fish on her plate.
James and Evelina continued to converse and keep dishes on each others plates, the duo were simply lost in their own words to even notice that all eyes were on them.
Others were not sure whether they should disturb them from their own worlds or they should just let them be.
Suddenly Roxanne dropped her spoon by mistake, startling everyone and snapping the duo out of their small world.
"Sorry, the spoon slipped out of my hand" Roxanne apologized and smiled sheepishly as she picked up her spoon.
Everyone nodded and continued with their food. James and Evelina did not continue their talks after that.
After everyone was done with their lunch, everyone went to the Guest Palace. Everyone quickly sat down in the main lounge.
"Why do you wanted us to come here Eva" Fred asked as he looked around the main lounge, though he knew that the Guest Palace is very luxurious but seeing it for firsthand completely mesmerized him.
"I wanted to give you my delayed explanation" Evelina said as she smiled calmly but warmly.
"What explanation, do you owe us an explanation" Lorcan asked in a confused tone as he looked at his other friends.
