I took the tray from Maya and placed it on the table. "Have you been waiting at the door for a long time? Next time, you can just knock at the door."

"I just arrived." Maya's lips curved up into a gentle smile, just like before.

"Yes, Miss Todd. I still remember that I cooked this for you on your first day to the imperial palace." Maya thoughtfully poured me a glass of cucumber juice.
