"That might not be true. I'm afraid, Little Bunny, you are far more popular than I imagined," Julian said as he held her tightly. The more precious something is, the more it is treasured, especially when regained. He did not want any complications that might separate them again.

"I'm not very picky about food; anything is fine. I've gotten used to living on my own for years," Aurora said as she leaned into his embrace. Despite her status, she had endured hardships beyond what ordinary people face, making her far less fussy about such things.

"Okay."
