The unexpected moment

Old Judy and Lydia serve many dishes for Lucas and Arlo. Four of them sits by the table.
"Irene has told me, both of your predicament. We will do our best to serve you. As your host, I could only serve you both what we had. Apologies, if you find it unsatisfying." Old Judy said.
"No, you provide us more than we expected. We're thankful for your hospitality." Lucas expresses their gratitude towards Old Judy.
"Here. Have a taste of this pork beef. It is marinated with wine before we grill it." Old Judy put the plate of grill pork infront of them.
"Thank you."
Both of them took a sniff of the pork, the aroma of it make them relish. They then takes a bite of it.
"It's taste exquisite." Lucas commented.
Old Judy smiles then turn to look at Arlo.
Seeing that, she waiting for his comment too.
"It's delicious." He said.
With that, Old Judy looks satisfied.
"Here, have some of the rest dishes." Lydia also put all the dishes near them with a big smile. It is a rare moment for her to serve and eat with two dashing good looking men. She can't stop looking at them with her goofy smile.
"Eat. Stop drooling and staring at them." Old Judy see Lydia behaviour, tap her on the shoulder.
"I didn't drool." Feeling embarrassed, Lydia then stop looking and started eating.
"Every dishes is delicious, I can understand now why many customers come in to eat here." Lucas said.
Old Judy smiles hearing such compliments.
"All of this is Irene recipe."
Lucas and Arlo both look surprised.
"She's the reason why my tavern is so popular. Once a week, she always try out a new recipes to sell here. That big head of hers, has too many ideas. I couldn't help but be amazed." Old Judy declared, like a proud looking parent.
"Irene is indeed gifted." Lucas had to admit that. Not only she can cook such delicacy, she also skilled in medicine. Thinking about her, make him realises Irene absence.
"Won't Irene joins us to dinner?" He asks.
"Irene said that she will not join us. She's already retire to her room. She probably tired from her journey." Old Judy explained.
Hearing that, Lucas could only smiled but secretly disappointed.
Arlo only eat in silence.

Meanwhile, Irene is taking a hot bath in a tub. As she takes a moment to enjoys her hot bath to relaxes her body. A thought emerged in her mind.
In the original plot, after Lucas saves Arlo, both of them travels together at a nearby town before return back to the palace to find a place to hide as the assassins are hunting them down. Arlo then developed feeling towards the high priest as they spend more time together. When their whereabouts was exposed, Arlo protected the holy priest. Luckily, the Crown Prince arrived with his troops killing all the assassins. Right there, the complex of the love triangle begins.
But since they follows her here, which is not from the plot story, Irene couldn't guess what will happened ahead. She's worried, that they will eventually know her identity. Or worse, that something bad might happened at this town if the two lead of the story remains here.
Thinking about this, make her frustrated.
Irene finishes her bath. She then stands up.
Just as she about to get out from the tub, suddenly a door open.
Irene turn to see behind the curtains a man standing outside. It was Lucas.
"Aaaahhhhh!!!" Irene screamed her heart out as she gets back in the tub.
"My...my apologies. I...I ... didn't know that someone is...here." Lucas turn his back around in a panicked.
Both of them were shocked just now.
When he opens the door, unexpectedly reveals a woman slender naked body behind the curtains.
"Why are you here?" Irene angrily questions.
"I...I...want to clean myself. So, I was lead to this place to take a bath. I...."
"Leave now!" Irene shouted.
Just as Lucas was about to leave, Lydia arrives at the scene.
"Ah, I'm sorry, Irene. I didn't know you are here." Lydia feels guilty as she the one who brings Lucas here. Not knowing that Irene is inside. She then closes the door.
Hearing that the woman inside was Irene, make Lucas feel more guiltier. He hurriedly left the scene. Just as he left, he passes by Arlo.
Arlo was confused when he see a glimpse of Lucas flustered look.
Meanwhile, Irene buried her face in embarrassment. For she feels so humiliated.
