Coward's Last Stand (Indefinitely Onhold)

Chapter 15 ; Coward and Misunderstanding (2)

"Now that we are here...What do you suggest we should do?" Lilian appear infront of the Eldan Manor. The gate is rundown and the paint on the wall are in tatters making it look like inhabitant manor. He can't imagine what is it his woman felt living in this shabby place.
Even his servants live in more appealing and beautiful landscaped manor.

Zizi is also in dilemma. Then rush here but his Master and Mistress has no direct relationship and can't even be considered as acquaintance.
How are they going to proceed?

Out of the dark huge tree beside the manor gate.
Rio appeared.
Zizi and Lilian already know he was here and felt his presence.
Thr black cloth man kneeled seeing his Master.

"Did that pipsqueak rrally came here?" Irritation is heard from his mouth and he is not very pleased thinking that man can come in in this manor but he doesn't.

"...I don't know who do you mean.." Rio is panicking. Who could this person who invokes his master wrath?

"Who else? It's the ex-fiance of the Mistress." Zizi interrupted and made a disapproving gesture.

Zizi is also one of a squad leader in one of their Master's people but Rio is higher in position thus he always find trouble gor him.
Rio scowled.

"If it's Ken,then,yes.This man brought food to Miss----Mistress?" Rio is startled.
He did know that the Master is interested with Ivory that is also why he accepted wholeheartedly the guarding duty his master has given him. But didn't he inly offered her to become a concubine?
Rio look at Lilian puzzled.
Lilian didn't answer the questioning gaze.
He is staring at the poor maintained gate of this manor.

"She is our Mistress! Why do you not approved?" Zizi sigh.

Rio look at him irritated.
Lilian also look at Rio.
"You don't consent?" He ask.

Rio and Zizi shivers.
Who is master?
Who are them?
How can they not consent at anyone he choose?
Rio shake his head.
"I don't dare meddle!"

Zizi also swallowed hard.
He did want to find trouble but not to the point of putting his comrade life in the line.

"Good.Tell me more about your mistress visitor?"

Rio almost cry but no tears. If the Master consent and call the young lady Mistress then it was decided she was their mistress.

"Ken entered the house around 6 and exited around 8. They just ate. But the Mistress and her maid really have favorable opinion about this man and they promise to eat dinner again tomorrow.It seems Mistress likes eating."
Rio stumble saying Mistress all the time because he felt awkward.

Lilian face darken.
"Buying heart through food. Cunning man." He uttered.

"Master,I feel that the maid is getting closer." Zizi whisper.
But hr doesn't really need to inform him.Lilian knew it already.

"Quickly, hide!" Lilian whisper.

The two black clothed man hide in the shadow.

May look at the man in front of the gate.
She was puzzled.
It's late at night. The man is pacing back that is why May didn't see his face but she could tell from his clothes that this man is very wealthy.

"Excuse...me? Sir? Do you need anything?" May went to the gate but didn't open it.

"Good evening " the man turn and his handsome face revealed.His face is very cold and arrogant but nevertheless, very charming and mouthwatering.

May have seen the Prince in the party and they arr really handsome.Have seen Ken and knew what is really handsome. But what is this man? Why defy the realm of human standard and become this godly handsome?
May is stunned and couldn't believe her eyes.
What is this man?
"Uh...uh..." Lost for words may didn't know why but she already opened the gate for the man.
Lilian is very quiet.
He does know he is extremely charming and alot of woman do want to become his woman but he never been in love before.He will play but only that.
This is the first time he uses his charm to achieve something.

Ivory freshen up and she's about to sleep when she heard loud and hurried footstep and then a banging in her room door.

Ivory got scared.Jump to her bed and hide in the corner.
"W-who? I-I'm warning you! I taste bad!" Ivory almost cried saying it. She's stunned when the door burst open..
"May?" Feeling betrayed,Ivory cursed in her mind.

"Miss! Handsome! Very very handsome!" May look panick and her heart is unsettled. Her breathing is also in chaos.

"What?" Ivory get down from the bed and pour water in the glass and give it to May.
May didn't accept it.
"Hurry! " She takes Ivory's hand and lead her out.
Ivory felt the chill.
She's already wearing a thin clothes and has no time to wear an outer robe.
Her lingerie can be seen but what can she do?
May is very agitated and she felt scared when she panicks.And what does she meant about handsome?

Zizi and Rio eyes almost pop!
Their Mistress!
They can see her body and lingerie clearly. If their Master find out,would they still be left with life?

Lilian in the Manor Hall is assessing the place.Too rundown.but not filthy.That maid is very efficient in her work.

"He is here,Sir."
When he heard the maid voice he is looking back at them. He breath deeply holding his emotion.
When he turn around,Ivory is breathing heavily and she is crouching on his direction.
The first thing he saw is her breast shape.
When she look up,Lilian see her flustered face that is very seductive.
Standing straight make him almost went crazy! Why is his woman almost nakedly walking at this hour?!

Ivory saw the man and recognized him.

"Oh! At the forest!" She excitedly point.But ofcourse! She knew this man who is one of the suitor in her dream.

"Your clothes!" Lilian roared.
Who cares if she recognized him?
He is a man,and he is inlove with this woman.More than lust,he was concern about him! This manor lacks male and security personnel! It people find out that she looks like this at night wouldn't they start coveting and thinking of breaking in here?

"Miss! Your clothes!" May shriek.
"It's my fault.It's my fault!" May cried.

Ivory is really ashamed but nit to the point of being mad at May.
Even she knew that she is only flustered.

Lilian thought the woman after realizing what she looks right now will cower and hide but she just console her maid.

"Sorry,she's just flustered.Wait for me.I'll dress properly." Ivory smile softly.

Madness. Did she do this full known their is a man waiting for her? Is she seducing him?
Lilian is enrage.

"Fully known that a man is your guest,you dare act seductive?" His voice makes May and Ivory felt his enrage aura.

"I don't dare." Ivory has a glint of tears in the corner of her eyes.

"Then don't act as if this is nothing! Properly covered your body!"

"Yes!" May and Ivory run away.

When they left,Lilian is still raging mad.

"Zizi! Rio! You dare lool at your mistress?" He is mad because he knows that these two is watching.

The two kneeled but didn't answer.

"Very well,Zizi,received punishment in the castle and do not leave their for half a month."
Still mad,Lilian still held it in the end.
"You are lucky that I need ypu to stay and guard her.Or else you will be accompanying Zizi."

Rio felt relieved.
His life has been spared twice now because of Ivory.
He really likes the girl now.And will protect her earnestly.
Zizi sigh.
But he did saw his Mistress walking almost naked.
He really deserved to be punished because he find her very seductive.

"Yes,Master!" He answered.
