"How is it?" they both asked eagerly, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Draco, seeing their hopeful expressions, didn't have the heart to crush them. "It's good… nice," he forced a smile.
Both girls jumped for joy, while Rose, surprised by his reaction, decided to taste the food herself.
"Oh heavens!" Rose screamed, her eyes wide open as she instinctively tried to spit it out.
"How was it?" Both of them asked with hope in their eyes. Rose couldn't help but glance at Draco, who shook his head, silently pleading with her not to reveal the truth.
Forcing the rice back into her mouth, she chewed it with a smile that was uglier than crying. "It's so sweet," she lied.
Her words made Lyraea and Ivy heave a sigh of relief. It seemed they were lucky this time.
