"Huh? No, no." Aria waved her hands in defense. "I just know the owner, she is someone from the academy. I just recommended her this place when she wanted to open a cafe."

Adrian chuckled, relieved. "Oh, I see. Well, you have a good eye for places."

They arrived at the café, a quaint establishment with a rustic charm, perfectly positioned by the tranquil lake. The gentle sound of water lapping at the shore and the soft chirping of birds created a serene atmosphere. As they entered, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and baked goods enveloped them, making Adrian's stomach growl softly.

Aria smiled, noticing his reaction. "Looks like someone's hungry."

Adrian laughed, rubbing the back of his neck. "I guess so. Everything smells amazing."

They found a cozy table by the window, offering a splendid view of the lake. After settling in, they ordered breakfast—pancakes, fresh fruit, and coffee for Adrian; a light pastry and tea for Aria.
