This was Namara's third day staying at the Black Wings clan's palace. However, she had not seen the bridge of Eros' nose again since the man left after kissing her.
Namara was surprised. Her judgment of Eros wavered slightly. She thought the man would play crazy and torture her in bed. However, up to this moment, the man had even disappeared without a trace.
She chuckled. "Looks like they went too far," Namara muttered. She didn't have any free rules here, but she hadn't come across anything truly terrifying.
They say here is hell. However, Namara didn't think so. The proof until now she is still fine. Even without any disturbance.
Namara felt like her existence was unimportant and not needed. It made her feel happy. No matter what day it was she would try to dig up more information.
Currently, Namara has just changed clothes. She stepped towards the exit and opened it slowly.
"Miss, do you need anything?" asked the maid who turned out to be Elise. Since yesterday, Elise has always been at the door.
Namara chuckled. "Can you do my hair for me? I want to look pretty today," said Namara cheerfully.
Elise nodded in agreement. She smiled sweetly and teasingly, "Does My Lady want to look pretty for Mr. Eros?"
Namara smiled shyly. However, inwardly she was laughing disdainfully. It's up to Elise's guess. She just wanted to chat with her to find information.
"Okay, Miss. I'll help you now," said Elise happily. The maid looked pretty good. She also does not harbor hatred despite being hurt by Namara.
After that, they both entered the room. Namara sat in front of the mirror, while Elise stood behind her holding a metal hair comb.
Then the woman asked, "What kind of hairstyle does My Lady want?"
Namara looked thoughtful for a moment. "What do you think Mr. Eros likes?" She asked.
"Oh, now I know," said Elise. She started to touch Namara's hair and comb it gently. "Your hair is so smooth," she complimented.
"Thank you." Namara smiled. She observed Elise who was busy taking care of her hair.
"Elise, do you know why Mr. Eros hasn't come yet?" asked Namara. She tried to look as normal as possible.
Elise was silent. She seemed to have doubts. "It's okay if you don't want to tell," said Namara still familiarly.
"Miss, this is something that outsiders don't know about," said Elise in a low voice. "Can you keep it to yourself?"
Namara nodded. "I definitely won't tell anyone else. Besides, I'm just wondering why until now Mr. Eros hasn't visited me anymore. Could it be that he doesn't like me?"
Namara's face became a little gloomy. "He must not like me..." she whispered. She looks so pitiful. Yes, her acting is indeed commendable.
Elise immediately shook her head. She feels sorry seeing Namara. "That's not it, Miss. How could Mr. Eros bring a woman he doesn't like?" she said to calm Namara down.
"Then why?"
Elise's hand movements immediately stopped. From the reflection of the mirror, she looked at Namara seriously. "Miss, actually Mr. Eros won't come too often," she whispered.
Namara felt quite surprised. She immediately asked, "So what? Does he treat all women like that?"
Then Elise nodded slowly. There was a trace of doubt on her face. "I shouldn't have said this," she said quietly.
"Miss, to be honest, Mr. Eros is not that kind of man," said Elise. Her voice just got quieter.
"What do you mean?" Namara looked at Elise, not understanding. This time she is not acting. She didn't understand what Elise meant.
Suddenly Elise sat next to Namara. She looked at Namara seriously.
"Miss, don't people out there think that Mr. Eros is an asshole who likes to play with women?"
Namara raised an eyebrow. Then she nodded. From what she heard, Eros was described as such. Even his reputation was so bad in this clan's territory.
"To be honest that's not entirely true," Elise whispered. "You know what I mean. Look, he hasn't touched you, has he?"
"Could it be that there is another woman here who has satisfied him so that he has no intention of touching me?" guess Namara.
Elise immediately objected with a shake of her head. "There are no other women here," she said.
Finally, Namara nodded in understanding. So, Elise's point was that Eros wasn't a bastard. Eros didn't play with women. And the rumors circulating outside are not true.
Namara just heard about this. She didn't know if she should believe it or not, but until now there had been no sign that the man would come to see her.
'That's none of my business,' thought Namara. Well, she shouldn't care about that. If that was true then she would be quite grateful.
Elise resumed her activities. She treats Namara's hair very well. For her, this was a familiar job.
"Elise, do you know when Mr. Eros will arrive?" asked Namara.
"It's hard to say. You have to be patient. Many women are impatient and try to find Mr. Eros by force. In the end what? They are the ones who end up being punished."
"Can't every woman get out of here?" Namara asked again.
"You can walk around the Star Palace this time, but you can't go very far," Elise replied.
Namara nodded in understanding. After a while, Elise finally finished styling her hair. She smiled in amazement at the results.
"How do you do that?" Namara asked surprised. She looked at her reflection in the mirror.
Her reddish hair is shaped in such a way with braids that meet in the middle. Not all of them are braided, some are still left loose. Then Elise also added decorations in the form of small flower arrangements that were tucked in several places.
Elise smiled. "That's my job," she said. "I hope Mr. Eros comes today," she continued.
'I hope he never comes,' thought Namara. She smiled a little and stood up and walked to the window. She saw the main building on the far side.
The main goal is to find the palace kitchen. And she will step by step looking for it. There's no need to rush. She has two months.
"Elise, I want to go for a walk," said Namara.
"Okay. I'll accompany you," Elise replied.
Then they came out of the room which for Namara was very boring. How could it not be boring if for these three days she just stayed around doing nothing?
Finally, Namara felt her breath again after seeing the spacious room. Although the shape of this building wasn't much different from the main building, she still felt more relieved than just rolling on the bed.
"Does Mr. Eros live here too?" asked Namara after seeing other doors that looked like bedroom doors.
"This is the West Star Palace, while Lord Eros lives in the East Star Palace," Elise replied.
Namara nodded. Then she came down from the stairs made of black marble stones. She could see the stairs on the other side that led to the opposite side.
It was the stairs of the Eastern Star Palace. Eros must have lived across there.
When Namara was looking over there, suddenly the figure of a man appeared. Eros. Their gazes instantly collided from a distance away.
Namara could feel the flat emotion in Eros' eyes. It was hard to imagine if the well-built man wasn't an asshole. After all, she had judged it that way.
"What are you doing here?" asked Eros coldly. It seems that he doesn't like it when Namara goes out.
"I'm just… feeling bored in the room," Namara replied, looking down.
"Come with me now. I want to talk to you about something important."
Namara blinked once. Did that guy just ask her out? What did he want to say?
