"Excuse me, sir, but masks aren't permitted here," the waitress said with a polite smile as King entered.
"Hm? Are you certain?" King raised a brow, leaning casually against the counter, his piercing azure-blue eyes fixed on her.
"Y-Yes..." The waitress faltered slightly, momentarily captivated by his gaze, but managed to maintain her composure.
"Are you really sure about that?" King asked again, leaning in closer.
"U–Um..." The waitress's confidence wavered as she threw an SOS glance toward the nearby guards.
Before they could intervene, King reached up and removed his mask, revealing a dazzling grin. "Just kidding."
"...!" The waitress froze, utterly stunned by the sight before her—the most breathtakingly handsome man she had ever encountered.
Ignoring her dazed expression, King strolled further into the room, instantly drawing every pair of eyes to him.
It was impossible not to.
