Moments later, Yara and Ivana emerged from the kitchen, carrying several glasses with drinks along with some snacks for everyone to munch on. They placed them on the table, and everyone grew enthusiastic, knowing that Ivana had helped prepare the food. Her reputation as an excellent cook was well-known.
"I think we'll need to spend a lot of money if we want to hire Ivana to cook for us too," Maylock joked.
"Yes, she surpasses palace-class chefs," Freya responded.
"Oh, no, no... I'm not worthy of that. I do it for fun, so please enjoy it without worrying about paying," Ivana said hurriedly. "Actually, I just used the ingredients available in the kitchen and helped Yara."
Yara then added, "I didn't help with anything; it was all done by Ms. Ivana."
The others chuckled at her modest response.
After everyone enjoyed the drinks and food, Yara spoke politely. "My Lord, would you like me to show you your room and study now?"
