Days have passed and Queen became the most consistent regular and as a result, she got a free meal from her daily coupon.
She headed to the counter and ordered Chicken Roast without stammering or deliberating it first. This made her happy.
Agnes smiled at her as she punched in the order, amused at how happy Queen is for that little achievement. Then added Choco Latte as per request of her.
"Louis! Your cute regular is here!" Agnes suddenly shouted over and a frightened Queen in the background is seen with eyes like saucers. Both surprised and anxious.
After a second an ash brown-dyed hair pops out of the kitchen door and waved at Queen too enthusiastically. Still being shy, Queen smiled and looked elsewhere, fidgeting.
The redhead lady noticed this and said, "Be comfortable gurl!", putting her hands on the shy gal in the process, "You've been our number one regular, you should be now", she then chuckled at this, going over an image in her head.
"I ... um well, I'll try," Queen gave her a nod with a small smile and then headed to her table and felt relieved to know that no one has ever sat there when she's around, which was odd.
After a minute or so, to Queen's delight, Louis came with her favorite drink and told her to wait a few more minutes for her big meal. She slowly nodded and sipped on her cup.

It's not as tiring as Mondays are, but Saturdays are a good time to feel relieved, same way as Queen enjoyed her drink, though she shouldn't finish it as she might lose her appetite for the main course. She set her drink down and looked out of the glass window, it might be her first to look out properly at the view. It was still bright out and people were walking with loose shoulders. It was a nice view. It didn't make her anxious too.
After the given time, Louis came back with the steaming, juicy, simmering food at her table. She thanked him with a grin, impatiently cutting down a piece of meat and rice onto her mouth. Lavishing the delicious taste, she chewed and gulped it in one go, but stop short as she realized Louis was still there, amused at her cheerfulness with the presence of the food.
Queen coiled a bit and cleared her throat, indicating him to get the message.
"Oh sorry my queen, didn't mean to disturb your peaceful meal." Louis chuckled and went to resume his business but told her that today would be busy so he wouldn't be able to attend to her loneliness, before leaving and getting a handful of daggers on his back.
