"Let's ask each other a question. And if the person did not tell the truth, he would be commanded a punishnt in the favor of the other three!
Trust ! It will be fun!" She tried to persuade them but all of them looked at her with eyes full of uncertainty.
"I don't think that we should try sothing like that. The ga was ant to humiliate and tornt the slaves. Why would a noble like us like to play it with our siblings!?" Leo shook his head as he took another sip of wine to curb his anger. He did not want to turn their rry mood into a grim one, but then he did not fathom why he would punish Evan or his sisters! Even Eli nodded as she agreed with Leo but Eve shook her head.
"No! There would not be severe punishnts but sothing you will like! Like in punishnt, we can ask Evan to hug Leo!
What do you say Leo, would you like that kind of punishnt?" she asked with a mischievous smile on her face as she saw the flicker in the eyes of her brother.
Even Eli snapped her head to look at Leo with a evil grin on her face
"...." 'am I the only one who thinks that this kind of punishnt was not accepted. No! I am sure that Leo would be the first to deny it since he did not like close proximity! He was the one who had pushed Olivia so many tis!' With that thought Evan let the matter rest between the siblings.
But before she could relax and snuggle more on the warm pillow of the sofa, she heard his magnetic voice speaking,
"Well! If you are so persuasive then we can try!"
"Yes! I knew you would agree!" Eve clapped her hands with joy as she spinned the bottle again on the table.
"Well, the rules are pretty simple. I will spin this red wine bottle. When the bottle will stop, the one who will be in front of the mouth will be the loser and have to give an honest answer to any question that was asked by the one who spins the bottle.
If you failed to give the answer then the sa person could be given any kind of punishnt!"
"Tsk! That way you will be the winner each ti and only we will have to give a reply to you and bear the punishnt!" muted Eli as she held the moving bottle and demanded, "if that are the rules then i will be the one spinning the bottle!"
Both sisters stared at each other with no mood to back down.
"Umm, since we did not agree about rules, why don't we let it go!?" asked Evan in a soft voice as she was still not sure about the ga.
"No!" all three turned to look at her with cold eyes and shouted at once that she shivered.
She knew it! She was the only mortal entangled between the gods! But they were not even letting her go! She coughed to find proper words to persuade them again when she heard Leo speaking first.
"Every ti a person will lose, he will be the next to spin the bottle. That way everyone would get a chance!" since this ga was mostly played between the owner and the slave.
Each ti only owner would ask the question and the slave would answer it. There had never been a chance where they both had got a chance to ask the question.
"Fine with !" muttered Eve and ELi nodded her head too,
"That is better. I agree!"
"Good! Then let's start the ga!" Leo passed the bottle back to Eve to spin it.
Her slumped figure on the sofa filled with new zeal and she held the bottle with a new energy.
Since the ga was already decided by all three of them. Evan could only pray that the bottle would feel pity on her and it would not stop in front of her.
All of them looked as the bottle started spinning without even a hint of where it was going to stop.
After moving for a while at full speed, it moved rather slowly, increasing the heartbeat of all of them. While Eli looked at Eve with suspicion, Eve's eyes were focused on the bottle as if her life and death was dependent on it.
Though Eli's eyes were filled with doubts, Leo's mind was still filled with words Eve had spoken to lure him.
What if he asks a question to Evan that she would not be able to answer! Would she hug him if he asked her to?
He did not even realize when he started anticipating that the bottle would stop in front of Evan.
Soon the bottle stopped in front of Eve who narrowed her eyes and cussed at the bottle as if it was her mortal enemy.
"Hmph! What is it! Tell what you want to ask ?" she glared at both of them as if it was their mistake that the bottle stopped in front of her.
But before they could even open their mouth and speak a word, she frowned and stood up as she glared at all of them and muttered!
"Wait! You can not ask anything. Since the one who had spineed the bottle could ask the question, then I would be the one who will ask the question!" she demanded and they all frowned.
"How would you ask a question to yourself?" asked Eli with a snort and even Leo raised his brow but there was no embarrassnt on her face.
"I can do anything. Like, my dear Evelyn, tell , how are you such an amazing and great person? Do you not feel tired while living among fools? I admire you but I want to know how you even manage all this?" she replied in an over exaggerated manner as she patted her shoulders with an admiring look on her face that instantly changed to a sigh,
