Standing in front of Gilgamesh I handed over my chocolate to him. I got a glare from him.

"What? Chocolates, you say? You fool! This is no emergency! How dare you so casually call upon me, mongrel! Besides, confections from commoners like you could never please my refined palate! I am an exquisite king well-versed in the finer luxuries in life. Such paltry offerings are better tossed to the mewling brats!"

"You... haven't even tried them yet..."

Gilgamesh arrogantly smirks at me, "fool! Food is eighty percent presentation, and twenty percent taste! I don't need to taste it to know, seeing this plain wrapping! Now, a shimmering golden wrapper with confections dipped in edible gold, on the other hand... only the most glimmering, blindingly bright confections are fit for my royal tongue! Hmm, I suppose edible gold should be taken in moderation, though. If I were to eat too much, I may not be able to avoid becoming the next Midas. Regardless! I have no interest in your pitiful confection! Fortunately for you, I am not so cruel as to ignore offerings from my subjects."

"He took it." I state, watching as he snatched the treat from my hand.

"Hmph. I take it only as formality. In a few moments, I will have forgotten it entirely."

I walk away from him and went back to My Room for some rest. Even though I got a berating from him, I was still happy that he took my chocolate. So, it's a win for me.

3rd Person POV

Standing alone in the hall, he watches (Y/n) leave and smirks.

"Making an offering is laudable. Even so, you are still a mongrel. Inferior. Pathetic. Offering a confection to a king? You may as well offer fruit to the heavens! Almost any paltry material offering would insult a king.

Ah, well I shall let you off the hook this once. You might say you've earned a participation award... let's see...hmmm..."

He opens (Y/n)'s treat and stares at it, "you had the nerve to make it yourself. That, at least, is acceptable. Oh. Ohhh... you made it to look like the door to my treasure vault." He laughs, "you dare say that the ingredients may be inferior, but the sentiment is first class, you fool!? Insolent! Have the decency to have a sense of shame! But the main question is its taste. Sincerity does not fill the belly. I have no interest in this tripe, but I'll take a bite."

"......It's surprisingly sweet..." Gilgamesh said, biting into the chocolate door.

(Y/n)'s POV

I'm sitting on my bed reading a book while petting Fou. I heard the doorbell ring causing me to put my book down.

"Fou?"

"Hello?" My door opens and Da Vinci walks in carrying a package.

"Hello! This is Babylonia Parcel Services! Ciao⭐️ everyone feeling good?"

"Fou?"

"Someone paid a handsome amount to have this delivered. Is this where (Y/n) lives?" Da Vinci hands the package to me.

"Here you go. It's a package from 'King Anonymous.' Please sign here."

"It looks

"It looks... really expensive...!" I point out.

"Hmmm, The Lion and the Mouse, Puss and Boots... I'm sure there were folktales of that sort in Sumer as well. If you ask me, this kind of thing should be delivered in person, but that's that. That is the king's way. Anyway, I'll take my leave. As it's a gift, you should wear it so that he can see it."

Valentine's return gift from the King of Heroes. The wearer itself is the main focus, but the accessory glistens with both modesty and dignity without fail. He may seem to be a pushy man, but his consideration for beauty makes his friend smile.
