"Brother Nolan, I want that pudding! And I'd like that cake as well! Oooh! I want that one too!"
Nestled in Nolan's arms, Eliza pointed excitedly at the spread of food neatly arranged along the left side of the main hall.
There were hearty dishes like roasted meats and shrimp, alongside sweets such as pudding, Moonberry Tart, Crystal Sugar Petals, and a variety of cakes.
Each dish was a luxurious treat that took great effort to prepare. But since tonight was the Emperor's birthday celebration, everything had been specially made for the occasion.
Seeing the excitement on the little girl's face, Nolan couldn't help but laugh.
He gently pinched Eliza's chubby cheeks and said, "You really have quite the appetite, huh? Alright, let's get everything you want. I'll take you there."
"Yay!" Eliza cheered and gave Nolan an affectionate kiss on the cheek. "Thank you, Brother!"
The heartwarming scene naturally drew the attention of the young nobles nearby.
