After the cats left his side to rest he came towards me.

Oh... *Badum*

I took a step back.

I must be making a weird face.

"Hold still for a moment..."he said and reached out to me.

What is he going to do?!

I can feel my cheeks getting red and my eyes widening.

He is stroking my hair?

After a moment he let go and shows me a leaf.

"Those cats sure can have weird things on them.You had a leaf on your head.Ah-"

At that moment he looked at me and we made eye contact for some seconds.

My expression!

I must control my expression!

"Oh...Thank you Endymion.I will be going now! I have a very important work to do! Also I didn't learn something about your father! Ah...I mean Master- Bye!!"I said and ran away.

He must be standing there stunned!

Ah~ ah~ So embarrassing!

I ran and even called Master "father".

He must think I am crazy.

*Badum* *Badum*

Normally I wouldn't react this way!

I would just feel very happy because he cares about me.

But right now...What did I even expect?!

I stopped running because I was exhausted.

I ran towards the town...

I am lost.

*Badum* *Badum*

My heart must be beating because of the running...

I squeezed my cheeks.

"Get yourself together Rose!!!!! You mustn't do that!!!"I shouted.

Ah...

I forgot I am in the middle of the town...

The citizens are staring at me with a shocked face.

I walked quickly and went somewhere with no crowd.

"Phew... Finally! Some peace and quiet!"

I finally relax and leaned on a tree that was next to me.

"Endymion..."I said.

Could it be?

I am starting to fall for him?

*Badum* We have gotten closer recently and I am getting a bit too close...

That must be true.

That was the moment that I remembered the book's words.

"You cannot express any special feelings towards Endymion..."I whispered.

What should I do now?

Endymion also loves Lisa and my possible unrequited love is impossible to last...

What should I do?

"What should I do?"

I repeated the same sentence over and over again.

There is only one solution.

I should leave this world as fast as possible.

I should hurry up and give Endymion a happy ending!

This way my mission will be over right?

I don't have to stay here forever right?

...

It is decided.

I should head back now that I am calm.

I headed back and Endymion wasn't there.

Obviously he wouldn't waste his time in order to look for a mere maid that just help him dress...

I headed inside the house and found Endymion in the hall.

He was sitting on a chair and had the telephone on his hand.

I hid and listened to what he was saying.

"Lisa! You shouldn't make me worry too much.Remember I am always here for you."Endymion said and laughed.

He seems happy.

"......"

I went to my room and pretended to be sick.

I will not see Endymion for some time so I can gather all my thoughts.

I think that hiding my emotions would be the best for the time being.

I can't avoid him forever even if I try.

I am his maid and the one who traveled through an entire world to save him from death.

I shouldn't give up on saving him no matter what!

...

I am now lying on my bed but I can't sleep.

Today I didn't do anything but sleep and eat.

Alex and Lilly took care of Endymion and kept worrying about me.

They insisted that I would take medicine but I told them that I just need to rest.

I am so glad that I have such thoughtful friends!

*Knock* *knock*

Who is it in the middle of the night?

I got out of my blanket and went to the door.

"Who is it?"I asked before I opened the door.

"Endymion.It is me."

Endymion?!

*Badum*

What is he doing here in the middle of the night!

I opened the door immediately.

He seems so handsome in casual clothes...

I looked away in embarrassment.

"You okay?"he asked and scanned me from above till below.

I smiled.

"I am okay young master . No need to worry about a maid."

I should put some distance between us.

"But your friends said that you are sick?"he said and put his hand on my forehead.

Is he trying to check my temperature?

I quickly backed away.

"You are rather red right now.Maybe you have a fever."

I don't have a fever but I will pretend that is true.

"Yes.I have a fever and I am exhausted so if you don't mind.Can I please sleep in peace?"
