The Psychopath's Daughter

The Past That Could Never Be Forgotten (4)

(This chapter is based on Neil's view.)

"Treat her properly. She's my woman." Saying that, Enisha's eyes became wide as if they were going to bulge out from her sockets. 

***

5 months have passed since the Archduke kept inviting Enisha to his mansion, who treated her favorably, and since Neil's plan began. However, Neil underestimated this.

He was rather having a strange feeling whenever he sees the woman. It was just like how his master describes it. 

Whenever he sees her, his heart beats so loud that he kept complaining who the hell is making noises while talking to his master's woman, turns out it was him.

He was stupid. A naive, foolish, half-witted and an arrogant butler. He underestimated what having a strange woman roaming around the mansion.

He doesn't know why, but his mind kept thinking about her. When he writes something like to reply to a letter from the palace because his master pushed it on him, he ends up writing her name. Although he finds her talking endlessly annoying, but these months, he wanted to just hear her voice. Whenever it was breakfast, lunch or dinner, he personally made her meal with extra caution. Whenever she's in need of help, he somehow instinctually always came to her and help her. When she breaks things or mess things up, he somehow find himself fixing it for her. When his master told him to choose a dress for her, he didn't find it annoying, instead, he was a little bit happy. Whenever she does something, he compliments her. Whenever he sees her, the quality of his eyes somehow became much more clearer than HD movies. (A/n: Of course, there's nothing like that in times like this. Just a description since I couldn't find anything to compare.)

He finds himself walking towards her. He finds himself talking and smiling with her. He finds himself looking at her with such a strange look. He wanted to hear more of her voice. He wanted to see her face everyday. He wanted to do things for her. As long as she's happy, he felt like he could do anything.

It was like he fell into a trap, but it was strangely so comforting and soothing. He didn't want to get out of this spell.

But he came to his senses. He wanted to find out what this feeling was. But even when he came to his senses, the feeling when he sees her was still there.

Ahh... He strangely became attracted to her. He wanted to stay by her side. He wanted to give her support. But... His heart was like being squeezed whenever he sees her with his master, Noah. He even had thoughts that were unusual for him.

'What if he wasn't here?'

He was a bee while she was the honey. However, it became much more stronger. It was no longer honey. It became such a deadly yet sweet poison.

He confirmed it when he was alone with her at the New Year's banquet. 

In the balcony, where the moonlight shines down on her. Her silver hair that was just like the moon, her red ruby eyes that were as beautiful as her. Her hair was styled into a messy princess bun, and it was decorated with a feather hairpin that was clipped on her side, the feathers were decorated with rubies just like her eyes. She was a beauty that no one can take their eyes off.

"What are you doing here, my lady?" He asked, his look softening. He felt as euphoric just like how you got your first ever gift, receiving it with your own two hands.

She put both her hands on the railing, stretching her arms. She smiled, his heart beating loudly. It was pounding so loudly that he wanted to rip it off for making so much noise in such a comfortable situation.

"Well, banquets are really not for me. Besides, Max is busy. And, I found you here! I mean, you're one of my few friends, so I..." She talked so happily, he smiled softly and gently at her.
