《IV》

Blue orbs of the Head of Phantomhive house scrutinized her intently, which Eztia began to feel her hands that was changing from the usual warm temperature into a cold one. Silence between them was so tense that Eztia could only sit there, not even moving an inch before the man decided to finally speak.

"I want to thank you for saving my son from the fall. I hope I can repay your kindness."

Oh? So -- he just wants to thank me? Now, I feel kind of guilty. Eztia thought, then she waved her hand at him to say that it was fine.

Bowing her head, Eztia fiddled with her fingers. "N-No, you don't have to, my Lord. You have allowed me to work here, provided me with a nice room for me to stay and sleep, and delicious food for me to eat." She uttered before she tilted her head up to look at the man directly in the eyes. "Therefore, you don't need to repay it anymore, my Lord, you already repaid me with your kindness. And I think I should be the one who is thanking you and repaying your kindness."

Vincent blinked in amazement before a smile -- it seemed to be more like a smirk though -- formed on his lips, his eyes glinting with amusement. Yet... unknown to Eztia, there was another emotion as his eyes glinted earlier, and it was a dark one.

"I see."

After those two simple words were said, the short bluish-black haired man came near to the youngest maid, who wasn't able to do anything, except sitting there and panicking internally as she watched him coming nearer and nearer.

Eztia froze, and she wasn't aware how the proximity between them were so close, not until his finger met her chin to tilt her head up and was unexpectedly face-to-face with Vincent.

Her and his noses were almost touching!

Eyes got enlarged while her pupils were narrowed, the heart of the girl sped up its beat; it was not in a good way, but the opposite one. In her mind, there was a chibi of hers running around frantically, alerting that the main Eztia was in danger many times.

Because of the nervousness Eztia felt was too much to her, it led her to enter the passing out state once again as she plopped back onto the couch.

The man chuckled as he didn't move from his hovering position and kept going closer to Eztia in advance of the time he took a strand of her hair and kissed it.

I hope you will realize soon that there are so many people who want to do this to you and furthermore, Eztia.

Vincent understood that what he was doing was wrong, illegal even, yet... he just couldn't handle it anymore. This feeling... this wanting feeling that was directed towards a young girl.

At the beginning, he thought that the first time he encountered her, she was an adorable -- he admitted -- and bright child. Occasionally, she reminded him of his sons to which he thought that he was only having a soft spot for the girl.

But then... he started to realize that it was not just a mere fondness like what he had thought to be. There was something more... something that was still unknown to him, yet he had a hunch. It was only a hunch -- nonetheless, he was sure there was a possibility that he was right.

It was desire.

Seeing the young maid was in an unconscious state and continued to be oblivious of her surroundings at all, Vincent really wanted to do the things he had been wanting to do to her, but he was a man, a married man as well as a father to be more exact. He would never do it to the girl who looked so defenseless, which she was.
