Apologies for the confusion. You are correct; the figure of speech shown in the paragraph is verbal irony. Verbal irony is when someone says something, but means the opposite or something different. In this case, Lucia mutters "Happy birthday to me" sarcastically after being splashed with mud, expressing her disappointment and frustration.
