Chapter 17

On the next morning, Taria woke up at the sunlight interrupting her dreams. She stretched and stayed at the bed for a while, thinking about all the stupid things she did yesterday, then she shook her head to keep those thoughts away and got out of bed. Once Taria opened the door, a young lady was standing in front of her room, wearing a maid's outfit.

"Good morning young lady. My name is Olivia and I will be your maid from now on", the young lady said while bowing her head.

"Good morning, Olivia. Mm, what does being my maid mean? And please don't call me young lady, My name is Taria", Taria said while smiling gently

"It's the rules here, please understand. If one of the lords saw me having a personal conversation with you then I would get into trouble. I brought some clothes for the lady earlier, and I put them in the closet", Olivia said

"Sigh, Where is Tian? I need to talk to him", Taria said with sharp eyes

"Young lord is currently practicing, I will lead you there if you want", Olivia said

"Yes please", Taria said

"Mm, my lady, won't it be better if you change your pajama before meeting the young lord?" Olivia said

"Who? Tian? Haha don't worry he saw me in worse conditions. Let's go now", Taria said, then Olivia led her to the training room where Tian was.

Tian was sweating to the point his hair got wet and covered his forehead, unlike his normal hair style, and she could clearly see sweat drops running down his shirtless back, making her heart beat faster than usual, even though it wasn't her first time seeing his body.

When Tian saw her, he stopped training and ran towards her.

"Are you ok? Do you feel like crying again? Please don't cry, I will bring you your favorite chocolate, the one with peanuts", Tian said while holding her hands

"Mm, I'm fine, and I won't cry, don't worry. I get emotional disturbances and physical pain on the first day only", Taria said

"Phew, thankfully, I thought I would have to deal with a crying baby until your period is over", Tian said while he looked less concerned

"I'M NOT A CRYING BABY", Taria said

"You cried more than 50 times already. Do you want me to start counting?" Tian said

"No no no, ok I get it", Taria said while blocking Tian's mouth with her hands, then he held them away and said "What are you doing here anyway?"

"Oh, right. What is having a personal maid suppose to mean?", Taria said

"Has she done anything wrong?" Tian said while looking at Olivia with a deadly look

"No no, but it actually makes me feel uncomfortable. I feel like a villainess", Taria said

"villainess! ARE YOU DRUNK?!" Tian shouted

"NO, I just hate controlling people, that is what I meant. Sigh, I think I gave him understanding issues", Taria said

"Anyway, I will have a shower fast, then we will have breakfast with Ve", Tian said

"Young master, please excuse my interruptance, but the young lord should train for three hours, not two", Olivia said

"Who gave you permission to tell me what to do?" Tian said coldly

"Master Ve gave us orders to keep an eye on you, please understand", Olivia said

"That order was over three months ago. You can go now, and never dare keep an eye on me, or you will lose your two eyes", Tian said coldly

"Wait wait wait, Tian don't say things like that. I'm sorry Olivia", Taria said

"No, young lady, I'm sorry to interrupt you. I will take my leave now", Olivia said, then she bowed and left

"So mean. She even said you trained two hours, and why would Ve keep an eye on you?" Taria said

"Well I trained for two hours and a half, and Ve is the leader here, so it's normal to keep an eye on a troublemaker like me when I'm on his house", Tian said

"Are you kidding, TWO AND A HALF HOURS AND YOU STILL LOOK THIS HANDSOME. I would look like a zombie if I ran for three minutes", Taria said

"Do you think I'm handsome?" Tian said while smirking

"Oh come on, every girl at our school have a crush on you", Taria said

"Do you have a crush on me?" Tian said while leaning towards her

"I. I mean, well. Mm, STOP TEASING ME", Taria said after her face turned red

"Ok ok, I will go have a shower now. Go back to your room", Tian said while poking Taria's nose, then he left, leaving her to control her breathing alone.

Taria was heading to her room, but her curiosity stopped her from doing that, and she went out to the lake side. On her way out, Taria heard the maids talking about Tian and her

"How could the young master be with that girl? They are so different from each other. Young master is so cold and mean while she is still...pure"

"Don't forget that they are not from the same social class too. I bet she has less money than a child, and who said she was pure?"

"I believe she seduced him"

"They will break up soon. Young master is feelingless, he will lose feelings for her fast"

"That is if he had feelings for her in the first place"

Taria felt bad after hearing them, but she didn't want to make problems other than the ones she made yesterday. She felt disgusted, mad, and scared deep inside. She knew that Tian and her are too different, but hearing it out loud felt like falling into iced water, so she went to the lake side, and started talking to herself

"They are too different. Oh yeah, he would lose feelings for her fast. As if he has feelings for her in the first place hehehe. I'm sure she seduced him NENENENE. GO TO HELL, I DON'T CARE''

"Should I kill them?"

"No, I will kill them myself… Ve? Oh I was just. Don't worry about it, haha, I think out loud a lot", Taria said after she realized that Ve heard every word she said

"What are you doing here? Where is Tian?" Ve said after he sat down beside Taria

"THE YOUNG LORD is taking a shower", Taria said

"And why are you sad?" Ve said

"I'm not sad. I'm just.. worried", Taria said while her eyes became sad and concerned

"Our mother worked as a waitress, but our father loved her to the point he suicided after she died", Ve said while patting Taria's head, as if he looked straight into her mind, and saw the deepest concerns she had.

"How about we look around the house together while Tian is bathing?" Ve said, and Taria's eyes got back their usual sparkles.

Ve and Taria walked around the mansion together. The Leo family's house was a C shape surrounding the lake, and no one is allowed to enter unless they have the family's head's permission. Ve took Taria to the library, the kitchen, and the three training rooms, then he took her to the lake room, which became Taria's favorite one. It was a glass room under the lake, showing the wonderful creatures that live in it, and shining with blue color.

"Wooooooow, this room in amazing", Taria said while her jaw dropped

"This room has four entrances only, one from the head's office, one from my room, one from Tian's room, and the last one is from our parents' room", Ve said, then he went out of the room and Taria followed him.
