chapter 29

" Eilidh, take this letter and ask Lenny to send it in my stead."

His hand quickly holds the letter and with a beam, Eilidh smile at me.

" Yes, my lady. "

After Eilidh left my office, I bend my head to focus on my work again.

" It simple. Make him kisses you. "

A sudden thought came into my head and like a mad person, I quickly bumped my head on the desk with my flushed face.

" That Eilidh! now that words got stuck in my head like glue! if he didn't talk nonsense..! "

Knock. Knock.

The knocked soundly from the door immediately make my body sit still on my couch and with a pretended smile, I calmed myself with a deep breath.

" Come in. "

" It's me, your highness. "

His feet step on my office and with his compositions face, he smiles.

" Edward Cullen on your service, your highness. " he bows before me with a stunning smile while his gaze slowly becomes tender towards me as usual.

" You back? How about your task on the capital? "

" Just like your highness said, the aristocrats have been quite suspicious these days. "

" Hm? you mean? "

" They had a secret meeting with decent people but those people weren't that remarkable to be an influence for them, your highness. "

' Hm... Then, what were those lower aristocrats were hiding? to meet with people in a secret place.. it's not like a great move at all. "

" Keep an eye on them and continue to update their suspicious activity every hour to me. "

" Yes, your highness. Ah. I just saw a new face on my way here, it's that the new head butler the servants was mentioned about? "

" Oh. you mean, Eilidh? yes, he's my man and I took him in to replace the empty position. with that, your burden will get releases a bit too, Edward. "

" Ah. Thank you for your highness concerns, I'm glad to know that those servants would have a better head to lead them when I'm absent. Well then, I should introduce myself to the head butler immediately. " with a chuckle, Edward politely bow at me and slowly walk towards the door after excuses himself to head out from the office with his stunning smile.

' Hmm... They must look so good together if they were to walk side by side with each other. Edward and Eilidh... I hope you could be friends! '

Quickly my head turns to look at Adam that was sleeping on his couch. My feet step to get near him and slowly I crouch beside him without much thought and slowly my hand stroke his head. Slightly my mouth let go a deep sigh in despair.

" Make him kiss you. "

Again, that thought got into my head again and again and run through my head until my head will get explode at this rate!

' Shut up, you stupid voice! '

Knocked my head with my own hand, I slowly lean my head on Adam's head to calm myself from getting dizzy in thinking too much.

" Although that's the only way, how could I do to make you kiss me on your own? "

****

" You're that happy just by giving a name? hmm.. then how about I give you the head butler position since it's empty right now? you must blend with people well if you're going to stay in these mansions as my spirit, Eilidh. " I stare at Eilidh on our way to get out of the secret room in the library.

" ...! "

" It's my pleasure to serve you as the head butler, master! please give it to me. I've already known all the people in these palaces since I've been served these mansions as a guardian here from the first ancestor of the grand duke! "

" What... seriously from the first ancestor? then how did you end up getting trapped here? "

" ..... "

" One of the previous masters used me to the benefit.. my power keeps the palace safe if I were to get trapped here as to balancing and controlling the barrier I made from my mana just to keep the palace strengthen.. "

" Such a terrible person your previous master is! Then wouldn't the barrier get weaker if I let you go now? "

" No. The barrier has been quite strong now since it's been more than 10 years... it's alright now. and about my master, the master is not that terrible just like you said.. master does the best to maintain the mansion when it almost falls by the lack of power... "

" But your master trapped you here and leave you all alone. Are not you mad at your master or something? "

" No! Raphaela is not.. gasp! "

" Hm? Raphaela? is it your master? "

" Ah! about the way to change the beast, I can tell you now, master. " with a pretended smile, Eilidh looks at me with desperation in his eyes. ' I hope she didn't ask me anything.. '

" Ah! yes, tell me. What should I do to change him back? we only had two weeks left before the curse completely manifest in his heart and then he would die.. "

" It's actually pretty simple, master. I've seen that girl done it before with my own eyes! "

" Then tell me. "

" First, she calls the young master with his name and completely took over him as her pet just like you do now, master. "

" With that, half of the young master's curse has been lifted. Second she.. um.. what she does after that... if I remember it correctly.. "

" Master must make the young master kisses you when he's in his beast form! that's what I saw in my past. That silvery hair keeps on seducing the young master and obviously win his heart in only just a week! "

Stunned by his words, I stare at him in doubt. Is he trying to make a joke or something? ' How can I make Adam kisses me?? Maria does the seducing just like the rumors said, so she easily had Adam completely to herself in the past but me? I'm not that kind of girl.. '

" But when I think it again... It's kind of fishy.. " suddenly Eilidh mumble with his face frown in dumbfounded.

" What is it? "

" Master, that silvery hair girl looks fishy from the first step she took in this palace. First, she's easily gained the servant's attention on her then she broke the curse in just a week and had the young master on her side. Hence, she climbed over the society as a saint.. "

" It's just my opinion, but she sure is suspicious. She acted like she knew what would happen in the future and used it as her benefit to be the empress and gain the people trust and power over the capital.."

I halt my feet from taking any further step and with a speechless state, my eyes stay on Eilidh for a while.

" When you said it like that.. "

****

' Ha. I forget to ask Edward about Maria's condition before he left.. '

" .... "

" Lady! "

" My lady!

Gasp!

With a thumping heart that was shocked by Daisy's intense voice, I blinked my eyes in a dumbfounded state while look at Daisy who was staring at me with her worried gaze although she was standing far away from me because of Adam.

" ..yes..? "

" Why are sleeping here? you should get proper sleep on your cozy bed. Come here. " while her hand keeps on making a signal for me to come at her, my lips unconsciously let go of a chuckle by her scared actions although she was angry with me.

" Oh Daisy, I know how to take care of myself! rather than taking care of me, you should get some more rest than me, Daisy. "

" Don't say it like that. Come here when I'm still in my friendly mood, young lady. "

" Ah. I'm scared.. " with a mocking gaze, I slowly get on my feet and smirk at Daisy.

" Catch me if you can, Daisy! " with that, I sat beside Adam who was looking at me with his blanked gaze towards my childish action.

" ....! "

" My lady! you're not a little kid! you're already 15 years old. Come here or.. "

" ..... "

" Hm? or what? " chuckle with her hesitation in her words. I grin my lips while stroking Adam's body with my hand.

" Ha. Don't do this to me, my lady. you know I'm scared yet you still make fun of me. " with a despairing face, Daisy places her palm on her face in annoyance with my joke.

" Haha! you're so cute. Hm-mm. Well, because I feel like let you off today, I'll come to you as you have asked me for. "

" ...! "

" My lady... " in touched by my words towards her, Daisy was waiting for me in front of the door with her face delighted in gratefulness.

" ..... "

Halt my feet after a flew step, I stared at her with a smile.

" Just kidding though. "

" My lady! "

' Oh my! she's almost crying right now! oh, Daisy, you look so pretty even though your face was about to cry because of my joke, such a shame you should take care of me than find yourself a partner for your life. '

" Daisy, you really must get married. "

" ?? My lady, why so sudden..? I'm still in my twenties, for me to get married.. "

' No. I really meant it. She was really pretty although she had brown hair like typical people would have her eyes was a transparent purple color like a black orchid! She also had a dimple on both of her cheeks. She sure is a perfect woman but unfortunately, she's died when she's trying to state for my innocence in the past. '

" I'm really going to give you a better life this time and get you a great partner for your marriage, Daisy. "

" My lady! Stop talking nonsense and come here already. And! it's troublesome to have a partner while I had so much on my plate to take care of your highness. "

" Oh Daisy, don't be mad. I'm just teasing you. " slowly I get near Daisy with a bright smile on my face.

' I hope these days will last forever. '

" Oh my! "

Daisy was shocked while stared at me with her dumbfounded gaze when I suddenly hugged her body, and shove my face into her chest like a child.

" Why are you being like this, my lady? have you perhaps had a nightmare or something? " while slowly pat my head with her warms palm, Daisy look at me with her tender gaze.

" I'm just.. really grateful to have you by my side, Daisy. "

" Oh my. I don't know why you acted like this but I'm kinda enjoying it, you know. "

" There. There. I'll always by your side, my lady. let's get you on your bed now. "

" Thank you, Daisy. " while tightening my arm in her waist, Daisy slowly caresses gently for my hair.

" Yes. me too. "
