Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: Me? Escaping? From who?

When Harlizel left the room, she looked around at the castle to see if there's a window she can open to see the castle outside surroundings. Then her eyes sighted a big glass window at the center corner.

'Oh!Window!' She smiled and move closer towards the big glass window when she suddenly ....

Heard? Definitely not!

'Ears can't smell right? So... Nose! Yes of course it is dummy! My nose smelled something so...it was so....Sa.. vo.. ry!' she was voicing out inside her head while she followed where the aromatic smell came from with her nose still smelling it and her eyes was closed when she suddenly was half-slipped.

Harlizel saw a stairs which she did not notice that there was a stairs because she was busy looking for a window on the walls a while ago. She walk down and just focusedly following the alluring smell from downstairs.

She entered a very spacious dining area wherein she saw the different kinds of delicious and very luxurious food in the dining table.

It seems like it was newly cooked because it looks like it was still hot.

Harlizel started to drool over. She saw a someone running towards her with a green maid outfit.

"Miss!" the maid was breathing heavily.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to serve you, the garden was in need of people to renovate so... So I-I forgot. P-pls f-forgive me!" She bowed her head with 45 degree.

Harlizel was looking at her with confusion.

"Don't tell me, your going to feed me like a baby now?"

The maid was dumbfounded.

"Eh?.... Ah! No of course not my lady... No I mean Miss."... 'Hala! Why did I mistook Masters woman as a lady? She's already the master' s woman so shouldn't I call her Madam? Or Mistress? Mrs. Bezos? " the head of the innocent maid was exploding.

Harlizel ignore her thought and started to asked questions about the tempting food on the table.

" This food..."

"Yes?" the maid politely asked.

"Is this reserved already?"She asked while drooling over the food just by watching it.

The maid was confused...

"Eh? Isn't the food especially cooked for you" She said while looking at her with confusion.

Then she immidiately announced...

"Madam, master especially ordered the chefs to cook this food for you" She politely smiled.

Harlizel fantasizing the food was distracted when she heard her first words...

"Madam? I'm not old to call me that" She complained.

The maid was startled on her complain

'Strange, isn't a woman who was brought by a man was actually his wife?'

"T-then Mistress?"

"Ugh, Definitely not, besides I'm not married"

"Then what should I call you?" the maid nervously asked.

"Call me Harli" she unconcerned answer her.

The maid was shocked...

"Eh! There no way I would say that , that would be disrespectful to you and to master to utter your precious name, Ma- Miss"

'This girl is so clumsy, better than those women earlier' she thought.

Harlizel just finished studying this girl's intention and sigh... She looked back at the extravagant food on the table.

"Nevermind, you said that this food was reserved by me"

"Eh, yes it is,"

"Then I won't hold back" Harlizel walk towards the food and the maid followed behind her.

The clumsy maid tried to serve her food buy Harlizel didn't let her too.

"I'm a waste of time, so you should go and continue your what your doing, I can serve my own food"

"T-then miss, I'll take my leave now" She said and left a bell in the table so that if Harlizel needs something, she just need to press it and a maid will serve her.

'I don't really enjoy it when someone was watching while I'm eating, especially when I'm really hungry cause I'm really am a big eater'

Harlizel grabs and pick random dish and place it on her plate. Both her eyes were beaming while looking at the foods and her mouth was drooling.

'Food is life, and life is food so I have no reason to waste such hope, cuz without food there's no life... oh! and.. Drinks is important too... Anything we eat is a blessing '

Harlizel was actively eating while stuffing her mouth with different dishes. She's such a gourmand!

Meanwhile...

"Hmph! Such a big eater, Aren't you afraid that it's poisoned?" Larkson who was watching her on the screen a whole ago popped up in front of her.

Harlizel was disturbed eating when she heard a familiar voice of a man talking in front of her.

She looked up to see who was it.

'Hmm?, isn't this man looked so familiar to me? Self, don't you think so?' she was staring at the man in front of her hoping to remember some part of him on her memories.

Larkson stared back her and smirk when he saw her eyes reaction.

"Tsk, I know that I'm handsome that even a straight man will fall head over toe for me, you don't have to look at me with those shock eyes, else I get shy" he proudly said while he move towards her smiling like a predator catches it's prey.

Then Larkson twitched when he noticed that she's not talking.

"Why are you not talking? Your mouth is not even full, so don't use lame excuse in front of me and I'm..." Larkson was startled when she suddenly speaked loudly.

"Ah! I remember!" Harlizel snapped her fingers...

"Aren't you the greenhorn lad?!" she shouted at his face.

"What?! Who's the greenhorn here!? " right now, the proud man who's was arrogantly talking beside her suddenly was feeling annoyed on what she had just named to him.

Ignoring his annoyed face, Harlizel ask him...

"Aren't you the lad whom I sacrifice my billion money just to help you financially on your practice?" She asked ignoring his firing eyes.

Larkson grabbed her Jaws and irritatedly said...

"Don't you ever dare to mention that thing on the future again! ,Understand?!"

"Why not? Aren't you feeling so lucky because you get a billion money in order for you to improve your skills more?" She confusedly asked.

'Seriously, this handsome lad doesn't even appreciate the blessings he received! Humph! I could have just donated my billion to the beggars on the streets or use it for teens who wants to finish school but poverty won't allow them to! Because this dude doesn't deserve it!'

"Are you trying to piss me off? If so, I will show you the consequence of angering me!"

"Consequence? Are you going to torture me?" Harlizel asked her while eating slowly that before.

"Yes" he move closer on her ears and whisper "I will torment you on the bed"he smiledly whispered while scaring her.

Harlizel just realized something... just from the way he threatened me in his words... Her eyes darkened...

"So your the so called master of this house that those cross-dressers are blabbering at?"

Larkson didn't notice her sudden change and smiled at her...

"Yeah, it seems that your not actually that dumb" he fornamed.

However he was a little curios 'Cross-dressers? Is it the maids and stylist?' he thought not noticing the changes of the atmosphere.

Harlizel mood dropped off little by little by his words...

"I hate it when someone calls me dumb" She coldly said while glaring at him.

Larkson noticed her change that he didn't realize a while ago and startled up...

"Fine,, my mistake, I'm sorry sweet pie" he said while feeling regretful inside by calling her dumb.

Just by hearing his new words, thought it's sweet, Harlizel irritated face was visible.

"Yuck! Don't call me that, where did that nickname came from?!"She shoutedly berated him.

But rather than to argue back.. Larkson smiled at her beaming and shining...

"Of course, its what I've invented to be your nickname" he shamelessly announced at her.

"Ugh, you sounds like an old pervert who always stalked me! Don't do that it's disgusting! " Harlizel face was full of disgust. However, it was better than the dark face she made a while ago. Now, she was like a teenager girl who was childishly fighting her boyfriend.

"What kind of a man you think I am?" he innocently asked while expecting a great answer from her.

Harlizel twitch her eyebrow higher and mockly said... "A debauchee"

Larkson was astonished as he did not expect such answer from her...

"What?!... Can you stop thinking of me that way, Cause I'm. Not. Like. That. Ok?" he ordered.

'I thought she would think of me like a pervert or some mental person, but a debauchee? She thinks of me as a debauchee? Hmph! So mean' he thought while pouting his face and showing annoyed face.

Harlizel looked at his face and unconsciously answered... "OK"

Larkson was shock at her word

"Whoa, your easy to tame".

Harlizel was also shock inside...

'What did I just answered him? Weird, it's not like me though' her answer that made her curious led her up to leave and study it...

"I'm full" She said and put her spoon on the table properly and clasps her hand saying

"gochiso sama deshita".

Larkson was just watching her movement and then realize that she's was trying to escape from him by distracting him in confusion/astonishment.

Just when Harlizel stands up, Larkson grabbed her hand tightly and for her to sit on the chair again.

"No matter how may plan or idea you have, you can't change the fact that you can't escape away from me" He coldly said while obviously threatening her.

Harlizel twitches her eyebrow...

"Who said I'm escaping from who?" she coldly glared back at him.

"Huh?" he was stupefied.
