Lain froze the mont she saw Eros standing next to the window. If anything she hadn’t expected him to be awake.
Eros was about to speak, but the instant Lain ca into full view the words got stuck in his throat. His eyes, however, were glued to her.
She was still in her nightwear, a short transparent gown that barely reached her thigh. The upper part of the garnt was even worse with a deep V-neck that revealed more skin and cleavage than what any man could resist a second look from.
"Wow," Eros muttered under his breath, breaking the silence that had started to beco uncomfortable.
"I didn’t think you’d be awake yet," she said, shaking her head.
"I guess that’s a good thing then," Eros retorted, sporting his usual smirk.
"Whatever." Lain rolled her eyes. She wasn’t that fazed by the fact that he saw her like this. In fact, she was even more thankful that he was awake than anything, but she didn’t show it. "Are you done staring?"
"I don’t think any sane man could ever be done staring at soone as beautiful as you."
Lain rolled her eyes again, but Eros didn’t fail to notice the slight red creeping up to her ears. She then walked closer to him with her arms folded across her chest.
"Since you’re awake I’m sure you can bathe by yourself."
"Of course I–" Eros’ brain paused for a second. If she asked such a question, then it also ant that she had been...
"Don’t tell you—"
Lain noticed his realization and chuckled. "What? did you expect to leave your blood-soaked body on the bed?"
Eros wanted to retort at first, but he soon realised that she had made quite a valid point. "Not that. It’s just..." he let out a sigh of defeat in the end.
"Relax, it’s not like I touched you inappropriately or anything. Besides, you’re quite big down there." She winked at him before turning around and walking out of the room, leaving Eros whose stomach recoiled in embarrassnt.
"When you’re done, co to the dining and eat sothing," he heard her shout from beyond the door fra.
In the end, even if Eros felt violated, there was hardly anything he could do about it.
He shook his head and headed to the bathroom.
"Hey." A voice sounded beside him causing him to jerk backwards.
He cald down when he noticed the little angel beside him.
"Not to be a busybody," she whispered. "But I think she likes you."
Eros didn’t have the strength to discuss his personal affairs with the little thing. He snickered and imdiately ignored her.
"Wait, wait a second." She then flew in front of him, stopping his advance.
"What is it?" He asked, starting to get annoyed.
"You haven’t nad yet."
Only then did he rember that it was his responsibility to na her. Before this, he had completely forgotten about that.
Eros rubbed his eyes lazily and said the first na that ca to mind. "Leia. That’s okay, right?"
"Leia," she muttered silently, as if analysing the na. Then out of the blue, her eyes widened. "I love it," she said with the sa joy of a child who had just found their new favourite toy.
She kept on following Eros, muttering the na so much that his eyes couldn’t help but twitch.
When he got to the bathroom she was about to follow him in when he stood in front of her. "Okay, this is as far as you go."
"But—" Eros didn’t give her ti to argue before he slamd the door directly in her face.
Her mouth stood agape for a while, but in the end, she could only turn back.
Eros knew very well that she could phase right through the door. But if she did that then he would have no problem dismissing her.
What followed next was a very long bath that lasted nearly an hour.
When Eros finally got out, he found Leia reading a book on the table. He didn’t bother with her and instead went into the closet to get so clothes.
The entire place was filled with female clothes and in the end, Eros was forced back to wearing nightwear.
Before leaving the room he took another glance at Leia who was still engrossed with her book. A wave of relief wafted over him. At the very least he wouldn’t be dealing with her shenanigans for the ti being.
He found Lain soon after he left the room. And sadly, she had changed into sothing more professional—not that it made her any less beautiful.
She munched quietly on a slice of bread, while also glancing at the clock.
"You going sowhere?" Eros asked, walking closer.
"Yeah, work-related. The kitchen is well stocked, so make yourself at ho."
"What ti will you be back?"
"Later in the evening, perhaps."
"Okay. Do you have a library?" Although the house felt luxurious, it wasn’t that large. He needed so information so he had to confirm if she had a library first.
"Probably, if you search long enough I’m sure you’ll find it."
"Probably?" Eros raised a brow.
"I don’t co here often, that’s also why there aren’t any maids or anything like that around."
"Ohh." A look of understanding appeared in Eros’ eyes. That would also explain why she could confidently go around with such little amount of clothing.
He only wondered who the people he had seen outside were.
Not long after their interaction. Lain left, leaving Eros all alone in the entire mansion.
Leia was still engrossed in the book, so he didn’t disturb her.
After cooking up sothing with what he could find in her kitchen, he began his search for the library.
His reason for using the library was rather simple: The date for the disciple exchange program was encroaching, so if he had a chance to learn more about Raven Twilight, he wouldn’t waste such an opportunity. If he opted to go to a local library back in Envadia It would cost a pretty don¹.
And also, there were still so things about his perfect body he needed to confirm.
[1= Incase anyone forgot, don is the currency used alongside Gold, copper and silver.]
