As soon as Eve shouted. Ryu immediately ran outside, but before that Eve had already thrown a tea kettle on his head. Leaving a huge bump on his head.
On a near space Naru was hiding. And soon her lips curved into an evil smile, as she thought of something.
In the room.
Eve was still upset, about what happened. So when she entered the room, she deliberately ignored Ryu.
She walked beside Hotaru and stayed by his side. She can't believe that he saw my upper body. And what's worst he didn't apologize sincerely.
When Hotaru saw Eve walked near him and just stood there with an upset look, he turned his gaze towards Ryu. Who also had an upset look on his face.
He wondered what happened between them? It was the first time that he saw the two of them fight, so he just took it as a misunderstanding between the two.
Soon after Naru came in. She was as elegant as a flower, walking gracefully in front of Hotaru.
"My Lord. " she turned towards Eve. "Messiah. "
Eve turned her gaze towards the woman and was flabbergasted. Seeing such an elegant and beautiful woman such as the one in front of her right now made her anger dissipate.
But somewhere in her heart something was wrong. It was as if Eve was looking at something very confusing.
"I am Naru. I am the emperor's concubine in the tenth line. "
Naru introduce without a single word messed up. She was just introducing herself, but it felt like she was seducing us.
As expected from an older woman's charm.
Soon after Hotaru went up close. Standing in front of Naru, he was really serious.
"Naru. How come you had that kind of power? "
Naru turned towards Ryu and seducingly gave him a smile.
Naturally as a man Ryu was really affected by that, and his face soon turned red.
This chick is into me.
"Have I not told you? I am a Suzaku warrior too. Naru the boar. "
The three of them was surprised when Naru said that. She just casually said that, like it was no big deal.
Naru showed half of her upper right chest and there laid a mark. The word was read as boar.
"Alright! At least we have a beauty as a warrior. " Ryu went near Naru and immediately pulled her hand. "Don't worry miss. You may be a warrior, but I will protect you don't worry. "
Naru smiled. "Thank you. "
After she said that, she touched Ryu's face and soon gave him a kiss on the lips. Even if it's just a peck, that was already considered as a first kiss.
*ahem... *"Please refrain from dong that. " Hotaru said. "Well now. Since that's settled. Dismiss. "
Naru bowed her head and left the room.
Eve who was an audience, by what just happened. Her eyes was now dark as it was clouded by a cold aura.
She stomped her feet as she went near Ryu.
Ryu was still stiff by what happened. But he had a look of someone that was happy if he could die right now.
Seeing that, Eve emitted a scary aura around her. She passed Ryu, but before she could really pass by him. She gave him one last heavy punch on his stomach coupled by a stomp on his feet. After that she strode off.
When he felt the punch, he was about to fell on his back when suddenly, his foot was stomp at. He endured the pain as he stared at the leaving figure of Eve.
He turned towards Hotaru. But what he got was just a chuckle from him.
...
At noon.
Eve was washing off her anger as she kept throwing rocks on the pond.
"Messiah? "
Eve turned her head and saw Naru walking towards her. "Naru! Why are you here? "
"I should be the one asking that. "
Eve turned her gaze towards the pond and didn't say anything.
Naru went beside her and ask. "Do you miss your home? "
Eve nodded. She does, but it wasnt the reason why she was here.
"I do too. "
When Eve heard that she turned her head to Naru and saw the sad eyes on her face.
Naru turned her head and saw that Eve was looking at her. Curious to what she just said.
"As you know. I am a concubine. And so I had to leave my family and attend to my duty here. But I don't really hate it, the emperor is really kind and before I knew it I fell for him. "
"But just as you. I still miss my home. "
When Eve heard that. She felt really guilty about being mad towards Naru.
"Messiah. If you don't mind. Will you be my friend? "
Eve was surprised when she heard Naru say that.
"Well, here in the palace. I can't really have someone to talk to whenever I want to. But I fell like, we could be friends." Naru looked at Eve with shimmering eyes.
"Call me Eve."
Naru was surprised at first, but soon smiled. "Okay. Then I'll call you Eve."
The both of them chatted as the night came. As soon as night struck, Eve bid Naru good bye.
Naru waved her hand as she smiled, but as soon as the figure was no longer in sight. The smiled on her face dropped and was soon replaced by an evil smile.
Such a stupid girl.
Meanwhile Eve was happily going back to her room, without knowing about the evil expression Naru wore on her elegant face.
On the next day. Eve and Naru was always together.
Ryu and Hotaru were both shocked to see the upset Eve was suddenly so friendly with Naru.
"Did something happened? "
Ryu turned towards Hotaru and asked.
"Don't ask me. I don't have a single clue. "
