Oh...
Where am I again?
To Ania, this is the hardest thing she had ever done. Killing demons are easier than balancing the tray in your hand with a piping hot bowl of soup in hand while finding the said room.
She wanted to cry but no tears flow. She's been walking in this hall filled with doors for hours but the room she wanted to enter is still nowhere to be found. Her feet are hurting plus she's been walking here around in circles. This mansion sure is a maze.
Not far from where she was standing, there is a big painted red door. Ania took a deep breath, releasing the stress that her body had undergone.
That must be it!
It wasn't that bad after walking here for hours! At least she was no longer look like an idiot roaming around with a tray in her hand. Oh red door, here I come!
"Oh mama mia!" She exclaimed.
The moment she entered the door, darkness filled her vision. Her feet touched something strange that she decided to picked it up. Due to her eyes still adapting to the extreme darkness, she touched it all over with her bare hands. Her hands trembled when she realized what it is. For goodness of her mother! It was an underwear!
Her hands immediately threw the underwear somewhere in the darkness. Her eyes roamed around the area.
Can someone explain to her what is happening here?
All she can see is a stack of dirty clothes in every corner of the room. Well except for the underwear that is already in the bed.
Immediately, she saw a man lying in the bed. A human?
Ania went a little closer to get a clear view of the man's face. Looking at the man, she already knew that it was a face that people would never forget. How can a person like him exist in this world. But why would a human like him be in this mansion full of demon?
She touched the man's face with a feather duster or more like poking it. The man who was already awake since he sensed someone entering the room, grabbed the feather duster , causing Ania to be caught off guard. Ania was also dragged and bumped her head into his.
Ouch!
Ania lowered her eyes, looking towards her hand that was gripped by the man. The man's grip was tight that caused Ania to clench her hand . She didn't even know which one is hurting more, her head or this.
The man's eyes pierce through her like an arrow. Red...
This man is a demon, but her eyes didn't react towards him.
"Who are you?"
The man's deep voice echoes to the four corners of the room.
Ania maintained her composure and drew her hand back. She showed him the feather duster. "Housekeeping."
She wanted to shout but couldn't. She is only here to deliver the food, so why is she cleaning this room!
The man's eyes followed her every move, while she pretended that it wasn't there. She continued cleaning when she noticed the untouched bowl in his side while he only looked at it.
Hey! I used a lot of effort bring that here and you won't even touch it?
" master, foods are supposed to be eaten and not to be used as a decoration for the eye."
The man finally picked the spoon and eat it. She almost smile but after after the man eat a spoonful, he pushed it .
What a wasteful bast*rd.
"Master please finish it."
Ania's face is full of smile.
"..."
Seeing that there is no response, she repeated.
"..."
Seeing that there's still no response. She cracked her knuckles.
"Master-"
Bang! She was pushed out of his room to get with the bowl and the door was shut .
"Don't come back"
"Wasteful handsome demon!"
She looked at the bowl that's still full of food. He might be wasteful, but not her. She tasted the food.
"Blaa!" Indeed, it was better to be called a wasteful than to finish this...
She went back to the kitchen while holding the unfinished bowl.
"Head chef, I was kicked out."
The white fox looked at her slightly surprised.
"Oh at least you're not dead."
She was curious about what she said. How can a simple job like that can cause her to die? But who cares? She doesn't care about that. She won't die.
But that bowl of food is something that she cares about. She's worried. She cannot die, but that horrible taste is a torture. A life worse than death.
"Are you hungry?"
Seeing that the white fox intends to pass her a bowl of food, she almost pee over the floor.
"No, no. I'm not yet hungry."
She immediately run outside, excusing herself saying that she will help the others work outside.
One of her favorite things to do is cooking. Just by seeing some rare ingredients made her hands itch. Just thinking about those rare ingredients made her heart bleeds. The bubbles that's full of her imagination of delicious foods suddenly popped, followed with a rumbling sound of her stomach. Now she had to wait for an hour to finally have a reason to go to the kitchen.
"Curse this life!"
She found an empty can and started kicking it while walking towards the garden. Thinking of seeing those colorful and beautiful flowers made her remember her rumbling stomach again.
Flowers... Big and healthy flowers
Ugh! How delicious would it be. This made her walking pace faster. When she arrived, a sight of healthy flowers met her eyes. But this is protected by the servants. She cannot help kicked the can with bigger force, causing it to flew into the air. Damn it! Now she cannot steal the flowers.
Not far from her, a man was standing while praising the beauty of the garden. The can that was kicked by Ania hit his head hard. It caused him to lose his balance and touched the flowers.
Seeing the wilted state of the flowers, the man's face turned gloomy. And turned towards the person who caused this mess.
Ania saw everything and cannot help but to sweat. The man's face is now emitting a dark aura. The atmosphere turned colder than it should be and by the looks of it, the man's appearance is starting to change.
Everything is fine, right? After all, she cannot die.
