Chapter 171 : You have his scent.
Alice couldn't get over what Nectar said out of her head [ That was obviously a threat, but what could I have done to offend her? Or has she figured it out yet? ] She glanced at Nectar who was pulling Axis' hair and shook her head [ Highly improbable ] " But I must be careful ".

When Nectar went back in to the hall, she spotted Bonsi and snuck up on her. Gently, she covered her eyes and startled her. Bonsi felt at the hands with a smile, " So this is a game ".
She tried to reach for Nectar's face but was unable to, " I'm gonna take a guess here and say Luscious ". Nectar frowned slightly as she let go, " How could you mistake me for Luscious "?
Bonsi put a finger to her chin, " I'm sorry, you both seem to have the same scent this evening ". Nectar hugged herself, confused " Excuse you "? Bonsi smiled, " Come to think of it, both of you did seem to have disappeared for a while ".
Nectar raised an eyebrow and shrugged [ She's a perceptive one ] " Pure coincidence ". Bonsi nodded slowly, " I'll take your word for it ". Nectar raised her arm and smelled it, " So what do I usually smell like "? Bonsi hummed thoughtfully to herself and suddenly shrugged, " I'm not sure ".
She held her hand out to Bonsi, " Then let's find out ". She suddenly rolled her eyes as well, " And don't tell me I smell like Luscious again ". Bonsi laughed as she put the hand to her nose.
She'd barely started to sniff when Nectar felt someone pull her hair. " Stay away from Bonsi ", She looked up at Axis and frowned, " You're acting more childish than I am ". Bonsi pulled Nectar back up and she suddenly kissed Bonsi on the cheek.
Bonsi didn't mind but Axis clenched his fists tightly [ Why does that bother me so much anyways? ] Nectar smiled teasingly, " What? You look like you have something to say to me ".
He took a deep breath, " I'm not gonna stoop to your level Socta ". She rubbed her chin lightly, " You can't even reach my level. I'm too high up ". Axis smiled tiredly, " What am I gonna do with you "?
Nectar winked at him and managed to yank his hair which was in a high ponytail, " I must say Axis, how is your hair so much more lustrous than mine? I'm jealous ". He tried to grab her but she was out of reach.
" Let me braid your hair for you ", and began braiding the tip. Axis panicked slightly, " Don't you dare ". He could feel the smirk on her face from wherever she was behind him, " Too bad, cos I'm daring ".
Bonsi watched the two with a mixture of amusement and tiredness. She looked around and saw Liam not too far away, obviously looking for someone who could only be Nectar. She glanced at Axis, " I'll be right back ". He reached out for her, " Don't leave me. At least take her with you ".

Liam himself was searching for Nectar. He hadn't heard a ruckus yet but that only meant she hadn't created enough chaos yet. He was a bit surprised when Bonsi walked up to him, " Is something the matter Lady Bonsi "?
Bonsi fiddled with her fingers nervously, " Yes. Actually, I was hoping if you could ask Nectar to leave Axis be. She seems to listen to you ". He sighed as he quickly followed after her, " If only she did more often ".
By the time they reached the two, Nectar was done with the braid and Axis held it angrily, " What is wrong with you Socta "? Nectar only laughed, " Has anyone told you how scary you look when your mad "?
She felt a hand on her shoulder, " And you have something to say "? She gulped as she looked up at Liam and shook her head, " Nothing. Nothing at all ". He patted her shoulder lightly, " That's what I thought. Apologize ".
Nectar pursed her lips and Liam suddenly patted her head, " Didn't you hear me "? Nectar flinched slightly and broke into a cold sweat, " I'm sorry Lord Axis ". Liam smiled satisfactorily and held her hand, " Was that so hard "?
She shook her head and was dragged away by Liam. Bonsi was slightly worried as she looked at Axis, " She'll be fine, right "? Axis twirled the braid she made and smiled, " Yeah, She will " [ Serves her right ]
