After bathing and drying her up Dimitrix set her sitting on the bed and left to answer the door.
Eleanor still couldn't believe she had fallen for her master and not only that but she had come to like someone from another world .
Her heart skip a bit when he sat down besides her with the first aid kit."Y...You should h..have taken your bath too".
He tilts his head as his eyes twinkle merrily."You should've told me while I was washing you up,I would've been delighted to join".He teases.
Her and Dimitrix both naked in a bathtub.
The thought of that made her blush like crazy.
"Don't mind me Princess and turn your back for me".Without being told twice she did what she was told."That bastard must have hurt you so badly".
He bit his inner cheek trying to control his outburst.
"Back then when I told you to tell me why you hated being touched by woman,you actually didn't answer my question".She reminded him trying to distract him from his thoughts.
"Ow!".He just said as he applied an ointment on her wounded back and ribs.
Eleanor hands clenched tightly to the bedsheets as her vision became dim with tears.
"Sorry".She heard him say sounding calm but if you listen closer you can hear a hint of saddest and guilt in his voice."I will take it gently now".
And he blew air on the wound easing the pain.
When he was done applying the treatment,putting the bandages,he got her dressed into an oversized sleeping gown."I will bring up something to eat".He informs before walking out of the room.
In a few minutes,he returned with a tray of food and place it before her.
"So tell me why you hate being touched by women but you do touch us like how you help me bath,dress you actually touched me but didn't react.Why?".
She looked up into his eyes but fail to see the lust in it."Darling,don't go around saying touch so easily,it makes me want to touch you".
Confusion appeared on her forehead making her brows furrows. "You can touch me
Sir.Dimitrix,only I can't touch you".She replied,innocently.
Dimitrix pinched the bridge of his nose while shaking his head."You're just too innocent for this world,Princess. It makes me want to take you to a corner and do something bad to you".He lean closer and bit her earlobe as she flinch.
She glared."Dimitrix,hmph!!!".
He chuckles."If by doing that makes you call my name then maybe I should keep up with it,huh?Anyways about me not liking being touched by ladies. As you know,am known for my beauty even back then".
Eleanor rolled her eyes at his narcissistic nature.
"I was still younger when my mother paid no attention to us and my dad went to the battlefield.Aurelia was taken away to another side of Arystarr under the care of our lovely grandma while I was alone in the palace with the servant to look out for me.The female servants then was boastful ....so they did what they pleased,they were attracted to me so they molested me-".
Her eyes widens in horror."T....they...r...rape you-".
"Good lord no!They touched me,darling.They are different kind of touch,right now we are not talking of physical contact but sexual touches".He explains to see her eyes widen in great shock as his previous word finally dawned on her.
"T...Then what you meant before...y..you said-".
"Yes Princess,I meant it all but I won't apologize for it.Back to my story,they often come to my room to touch me but no one came to my rescue and one fateful day I killed them all. The end now go to bed".He quickly picked her up and set her lying on the bed.
"Dimitrix,is that why you hated it".
He hums."Their hands just felt the same with others.Go to bed now while I go wash myself".He said and brought the cover up to her neck.
"Goodnight".And he headed for the bathroom but stop when he heard her call.
"Dimitrix.Goodnight too".And her eyes closed as darkness envelop her.
The next day....
Eleanor wake up to see the other side of bed empty.
'Where was Dimitrix?'.
She wanted to be the first person he would see when he opens his eyes.
She threw the cover off her,put on a flip flop that was placed before her and forcefully stood on her feet ignoring her aching body.
"Sir".She called."Sir!".She called making her way into the washroom to see him washing the blood stain off his hands.
He looks up,his face breaking into a smile."You're up,did you sleep well".She nods in reply."You're standing now".He said dramatically making her giggle. "Does it hurts?".
She shook her head biting back the smile that wanted to form on her lips.
'His heartfelt gestures made her glad'
"Where did you go to?".He hate being questioned but for her would answer any unnecessary question.
"Already missing me?".
"No".She replies bluntly.
"I went to visit a friend and gifted him with a gift he would never forget".
"Then it most be a very pleasant gift".She giggles,failing to pick up the sarcasm in his tone.
"Should I wash you?".He picked up a clean towel and wipe his wet hands.
"No,I will manage-".
"Hm,take your time.We will leave in an hour or two,Princess".He informs and left her alone in the bathroom.
~~~IN LUTHER'S CASTLE~~~
Queen Belle hum a joyful song as she made her way into her son's room while carrying his bottle. "Baby Lu lu,time for breakfast".She came to halt before his cradle."Breakfast time".She lean in and pick him up to find him covered in blood as realization hits her pretty bad to find out her dear son was murdered. "Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!".A loud scream of great agony echo through out the castle as the servants and Luther came running in.
"Belle, what is the problem?".He asked as he step into the room.
"M....my son,my son,h....he's dead??".She fell to her knees while clenching unto her son,sobbing."He was murdered".
He looked around for any clue and he finally notice a writing in blood written on the wall,saying.
'HOW DO YOU LIKE MY GIFT.KING LUTHER?'.
"You murdered my son,Luther. I told you didn't i? You should leave that demon Lord alone but you refused and now...now you have cost this on us.You murderer".She broke into a broken cry.
'Murderer,murderer'.
Those words rang in his head as he felt pain like no other.
Luther felt like his heart was shot with a million arrow.
'The heir he had always wanted was taken away from him by that notorious Lord'.
He was going to pay for this.He swore.
'Meanwhile in Arystarr'.
Aurora sat on a stool facing her mirror as she brush her hair down.
"I need to look pretty for my fiance".She said with an emphatic word 'My' for Delia who stood beside to get pissed."I heard his arriving here today".But as usually she remained emotionless that made Aurora peeved.
"My Dimitrix".Delia corrected."Remember you stole him and put me in this maid's body,at the end your effort was useless just like you.Tsk,tsk,tsk,you can never win dear Dimitrix heart,why don't you learn-".
"HEY!!!".Aurora scream as she slam her hand against the table."Shut up before I shut it up myself-".
"Shut up?Why?cause you know it's the damn truth.Stop playing dumb,Eleanor".Aurora face hardened as she heard that name she despise so much."I know you know who I am,so cut the bullshit".
Aurora bit the inside of her cheek trying to control her anger and when she did,she looked up at Delia with a harmless smile."I have no idea what you're talking about,now be a dear and fetch me my favourite green tea,I need to slim down,I have gained some weight.I will be having it outside the palace, now go".
Once Delia left,Aurora picked up her mirror and smashed it on the floor and picked up a vase and smashed it at the wall."Agh!that bastard drives me crazy!!".She growl while tugging her hair.
Aurelia doll herself into a pale pink gown for the first time in her twenties and let her brilliant red hair fall over her shoulder.
She was looking as stunning and bright as the sun.
While she parade down to the knights quarter,any servants who past by her was left dumbstruck by her sudden change in appearance,since they knew her she never dressed so girly instead prefer to be dressed in trousers and boots but why the sudden change.
Even Aurelia herself didn't know why she doll herself this way,
'why was she trying to impress Hiro?when it was obvious he saw her as the Princess of Arystarr'.
Aurelia came to stand before his chamber and raise her hand to knock but the door was suddenly open by Hiro the man that set her heart at blaze.
"Ow Princess!how did you find your way here and to the commoner room at that?".
Confusion was written all over his face.
"I walked all the way here".She chuckle nervously. "How else will I appear here?".
"That's not what I mean".
"How do I look?".She asked,whirling around in circle.
Hiro laughs."More like a Princess,back then you look like someone who was going to assassinate me".He teased her while walking to the knight's dinning room.
Aurelia frowns but still ran after him."Are you going to have breakfast?Huh?huh?huh?".She prods.
"Princess Aurelia, do you find me so attractive that you can't keep your eyes away from me,huh?Or the time I caught you in the bar did you perhaps fall in love with me at first sight?".He said in a teasing manner.
Her cheek flames up when she heard him tease her."A.....A Knight is not meant to talk to the Princess this way?".
He tilts his neck at her."All the same,a Princess should not visit a mere Knight like me and to his chamber at that.Shame on you".
Aurelia was about to retort when Aurora interrupts.
"Aurelia what are you doing here?".She inquiries with a mockery smile."Don't tell me you've taken a liking to this Knight?".
Aurora was just passing by when she caught sight of Aurelia along with a Knight,what made her eyes go wide was when she saw Aurelia grinning like a child .
In her former life and now she had never seen Aurelia smile even to her own brother.
'Was this love?'.
But as always Aurelia didn't budge a bit instead her smile turned to grimace at Aurora appearance.
"None of your business,Aurora".She deadpan."When did you start poking your nose in someone else business,huh?".
