Irene licked the candy, her eyes widening in delight. She had never tasted anything like that before. Though they tasted similar to some of the mocktails she had drunk in her modern life, the candies were sweeter and mood-lifting. She momentarily forgot everything about her new surroundings as she enjoyed the delicacy in her hand.
Even Reyna too was enjoying her sugar candy, and the guards smiled at the two girls who resembled small children, with their faces beaming in joy. They had never seen such a carefree expression on their mistress's face, and just one glance was enough to widen their smiles.
"Where shall we go next, Milady?" Reyna sucked on her candy as she walked a step behind her mistress. Though her mistress had asked her to walk beside her, her respect and admiration towards her stopped Reyna from walking beside her. She was happy to follow and be with her this way.
