A small smile passed his lips when he saw the contrast sullen look on her face with the speed of her wolfing down the food.
She was hungry, too hungry to notice the smile on his lips.
Ah, as long as she can eat,whatever it is, she will eat!
When the porridge left only half of what was there, a piece of meat suddenly fell off from a fork, into her bowl of porridge. She looks up to see Xavier retreated his hands and already back eating in silence again. She looks at him, her eyes full of confusion.
But then she didn't question, instead bring that piece of meat into her practically drooling mouth.
The moment she bites, the taste booming in her mouth, blessing her taste bud. She closes her eyes and moaned in content, as she savours every taste slowly.
Then, she heard someone cleared his throat, before he coughed twice. She open her eyes. "I'm out until night. Do whatever you want here but don't even think of stepping out of this door.If I know you were out, you can't even imagine the consequences. " Under his brooding eyes staring at her intently, she quickly nodded her head, indicating she understands his meaning.
He got up after wiping his mouth with a napkin, and grab his black blazer, wearing it on the way out. As if he forgot something, Xavier stops in his track, turned to look at her. "If you need anything, just call William. He's my butler in this house." When he saw her confuse gaze, he continued, "Remember the man bringing the foods earlier?" she nods. "That's him." With that, he disappears behind the double door.
She looks at the door for a moment, then looks around her.Her eyes catched the sight of books neatly arranged on the bedside.
But then she glanced at his closet.
She started to smile evilly as an idea popped up in her head.
He said I can do anything but walked out of room, right?

She took the one piece of cloth in front of her,examining it.
'Nice boxer.' She thought, looking at the black silk boxer in her hands. 'Comfy, too.' she stretched the sides of the elastic boxer.
Sigh. When you are bored,crazy ideas started to pop out.
She put the boxer back in the box neatly,with full of concentration and caution, make it as if no one touch it.
She couldn't help but notices that most of his clothes all in black. Something colourful peeking beneath all of other undergarments attracted her attention immediately.
"Huh? What is this?" She looks at the piece of cloth curiously before took a hold of the cloth, and pulled it out.
The sight of the cloth instantly cleared to her naked eyes, but then...
"Pftt!HAHAHAH!" she bursted out laughing hysterically, holding her stomach with one hand.
The cloth is actually a yellow colour brief with Spongebob silly faces all over it!!
"What is this?? He wears this?? Oh my god, I just can imagine him in this!! Someone like him!! HAHAHA!!"
Everytime she managed to put a stop to her laugh, only to burst out laughing again whenever she looked at the boxer.
After laughing over his silly brief until her stomach hurts, she finally put back the brief to its original place, eyes dancing with humour as a silly smile plastered on her face.
She then steps out of the closet, and as if fated, her eyes landed on the row of books on the bedside again. She walked casually to the bed and sitting on the edge of it.
A dark red book catches her attention, and she stretched her arm and took it. The book looks old, but was take care of when she saw the dull colour of the papers, but did not detect any pages being torn.
With a hum, she opened the book with a smile. Upon seeing the title of the book, her sweet smile dropped instantly as she unconsciously gripped the book a little harder.
He betrayed her. She couldn't forget that. She shouldn't forget that.
She harden her heart as her face turned cold again. "The History of Supernaturals." she reads, staring coldly at the small titles of the book, and one of it is the very hated word in her heart now.
Maybe she could find their weaknesses.
______________________________
Day turned night, as the sun slowly started to dissappear, giving the chance for moon to shine. It is now dusk, nearing dinner.
She was too engulfed with the book to be aware of the changing surroundings. When she finished, it is already time for dinner.
Her stomach grumbled noisily.
The sound of knocking against the door brings her back to reality, and before she could answer, the door was pushed open, and the old man from earlier, William as Xavier said, came in.
His hand holding a tray is on the same height of his shoulder, and he gracefully put down the dishes on the small table at the center of the room. He looks professional and formal, as if he was trained.
Maybe he is trained.
Daniella eyed the food, and couldn't help but be disappointed when she saw a bowl of plain porridge in front of her again. But she didn't let the sorrow betrayed her facade, as her expression remained the same.
"Thank you." she said to the old man and received a curt nod.The man walked out of the room.
What? Is all the people in this place is like this?
Since she is a woman of few words herself, she dismissed the thoughts. She started to eat, but then William come back in, this time with a tray of dishes, even completed with a side dishes.
She stares in a daze at the dishes, feeling quite confused.
Noticing her confusion, William enlighten her, "Lord Arksna asked you to eat this food on his behalf."
Her eyes widen a little, a glint of excitement flashed, as she nodded. "Okay, then. Thank you."
William nodded again, excused himself and close the door, leaving her alone.
She stares at the exquisite dishes. There are pasta, skillet cod with lemon and capers as main dishes and crispy baked sweet potato fries as the side dishes. They even have her favourite cheesecake!
She eagerly reached out first for her favourite cake, savouring it in just a short moment.
Amidst the excitement and pleasure, her mind wander to the book she reads earlier.
Decades ago, there's a family that ruled the world of supernatural before. And with the existence of them, the supernatural creatures lived a peace life with human. This family was called The Royal, and they were given the power to make all the supernatural creatures bowed to them. The family ruled until the twenty generations, but then they suddenly disappeared.
The world was in chaos with the missing of The Royal descendents. Rumors have it that the descendents were all killed by the dissatisfied and envy group of supernatural creatures.
And until today, they remain missing.
She wonders, where will she be if The Royal is still exist. She wouldn't have been here, right?
