After some time, Sam and Amelia made their way to the main hall after a delightful bath together.
Their manner of walking naturally drew the attention of those present in the hall, which included Helena, Lorraine, Sophia, Adriana, Ava, and Maid Lenora Fenrir.
Amelia held onto one of Sam's hands, cuddling it affectionately. To those watching, they resembled a newlywed couple.
Amelia addressing Sam as "darling" added to the intrigue, and for Lorraine and Sophia, it was particularly frustrating. They longed for the same treatment from Sam, but they hadn't yet mustered the courage to reveal their feelings. They couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.
The overnight transformation in Amelia's demeanor was equally surprising. Previously distant and stoic, she now appeared to be a lovesick teenager.
Each person present had their own thoughts as they observed the couple.
