Got Caught

Startled by the noise, Lina quickly tucked the cardboard away and shifted her body away from Lyra.

Handing the heavy items she carried to Elise, Astrid noticed the carriage waiting outside.

She gave Lyra a cold glance, and the pink-haired maid immediately rose from her seat and followed behind her.

"How was your experience here?" Astrid asked.

Lyra nodded and replied in a low voice, "The dishes were quite good. I'm very full."

As she spoke, Lyra subtly adjusted her posture, her hand brushing against her waist.

Hidden between her maid's skirt and white stockings was a letter, its soft texture pressed against her skin. The warmth of the paper seemed to grow hotter as her voice softened.

Astrid didn't think much of it, assuming Lyra was embarrassed about something trivial but too shy to mention it.

"If your stockings are slipping, go to the restroom and fix them. I can spare the time," Astrid said casually.
