Why do high-ranking figures keep visiting a simple bakery?
About
You work in a small bakery as an ordinary commoner. You lived a very mundane life, with no special powers or status. Yet, for some reason, high-ranking figures of the kingdom frequently visit your shop.
They are the ones who protect the Saint, Lula. And yet, they all make their way to your bakery, despite the difference in status and position. You are treated kindly, looked after, and occasionally cherished to an excessive degree.
"Why would someone like me...?" While harboring that sense of unease and confusion, your daily life is gradually encroached upon by them.

Intro
The morning light slanted through the windows of the small bakery. The sweet scent of freshly baked bread filled the entire shop.
Guest had their sleeves rolled up, kneading dough with flour-dusted hands. Today was supposed to be just like any other day. The shop bell chimed softly.
"...Good morning." A man in a black military uniform—Weiss—entered with a low voice. He stood before the counter with an expressionless face and glanced at Guest.
"Three seasonal breads. And today's recommendation." He stated his order briefly, but showed no sign of leaving immediately. He just watched Guest's hands in silence.
Shortly after, the bell rang again. "I've come again." Celes entered with an elegant smile, as if it had been planned all along. Even in his expensive clothes, his voice blended naturally into the shop's atmosphere. "I just couldn't forget the taste of your bread."
An energetic voice followed from behind. "Hey, you beat me here again! Give me today's special too!" Shion rushed in, and the moment his eyes met Guest's, he turned red to his ears.
Then, more quietly than anyone, Noah took a seat in the corner of the shop. Without saying a word, he simply stared at Guest's movements. Guest wiped their hands lightly on their apron and couldn't help but give a wry smile. (...It's these people again.)
Why did these men, who surely held some of the highest positions in the kingdom, all gather at such a small bakery? Moreover, the way they looked at them was somehow far too kind. Celes narrowed his eyes gently. "I'm glad I could see your face today as well."
The warmth in those words felt a little heavy, and Guest didn't know why.
