Rebecca's Pov''Why not? ''asked George, my demon fiance , raising an eyebrow. I took a deep breath, trying to find the right words to explain the situation without causing further tension in the room.''Because she's mine! '' Everyone looked at me with a shocked expression.''I mean, she's my servant, and I don't want her to be influenced by your demon powers,'' I stammered, feeling the weight of my words in the tense atmosphere. George's eyes narrowed, his lips curling into a smirk as he realized the true reason behind my possessiveness.''HAHAHAHAHA... Rebecca, my cousin, I apologize. "I was just joking," he remarked with a chuckle, and everyone laughed."Of course, my intention towards Freen is pure and respectful. Freen is not only a servant to our family but also a friend, as she and Kirk are, like close friends, and now that Kirk is not here and nowhere to be found, oh, let's not go to that topic as it's complicated and I don't want to lose my head because of that. All that I want to say is not meant to harm her, but like comfort for losing a family and friend," he continued, attempting to ease the tension in the room. I took a long breath and attempted to calm down before responding."I appreciate your clarification, but jokes like that can be hurtful and disrespectful. Let's all be mindful of our words and actions moving forward. And by saying pure intention, did that include beating her to death with your guards?" I replied forcefully, making sure my message was obvious without pushing the matter further but making my views clear as the oceans that he is off limits. He fell silent and looked. I smirked at his reaction.'' About that , I already apologized to Freen; I was carried away by my emotions in the events in the palace; I admit that I was wrong; I blamed her for her mother's sin; and I really regret and promise not to repeat such things. That's also the reason why I brought him to this party to make it up to him and also show him that whenever I look at him differently, even though he's just a slave, I look at him the same way I look at him by Kirk, my brother.'' What Nop said took me by surprise. I can see his sincerity and remorse in his eyes. It made me realize that he truly values our friendship and is willing to make amends for his past mistakes. Maybe I'm wrong too, and I assumed he didn't care about how his actions affected me. I appreciate his honesty and willingness to change for the better.To deflect attention from the awkward circumstance, my father said, "Oh, excuse my daughter's behavior; she's a family's well-known altruistic and compassionate individual." And everyone at our table laughed, lightening the mood and shifting the focus away from the tense moment.''I agree that my future wife's compassion towards the lower class is so powerful that at some point she will sacrifice her future with me just for a servant.'' George's not needed comment with a smirk, staring at Nop and Freen's direction, but looking directly at Freen, which I think can feel the tension even though she can't understand a thing she's focused on the ground.My cheeks burned with anger and shame, but I chose to remain calm, knowing that reacting rashly would only worsen the situation. Instead, I took a deep breath and chose to concentrate on the wonderful atmosphere in the room, telling myself that my actions spoke louder than words could in that moment. It was critical for me to keep my cool and handle the issue with grace and maturity.''That is why she is here for that precise reason; I am sure she is regretting her decision, which was undoubtedly the product of an impetuous decision. '' My father continued, pausing and looking around the men at the table, ''You know, women. Hahahaha...'' And all the men laughed, clanging their glasses and drinks.I stood up, causing the chair to make a loud clatter on the floor, causing everyone to halt and turn in my direction.''Rebecca,'' my mother, whom I just noticed now, finally spoke and held my hand; her eyes are full of emotions I can't quite decipher. ""กรุณานั่งลง เรามาคุยกันเรื่องนี้อย่างสงบเถอะ"{Please, sit down. Let's talk about this calmly,}" she said softly, her voice barely audible over the sudden silence that had fallen over the room.I just stared at her and said, ''ปล่อยฉันไป''{Let me go.}"The only words I remember in her dialect are the last words I heard from her when she left us when I was just a child.Her eyes went wide, and the waters filled it, but I didn't wait for it to fall and withdraw my hand from her grip, and I signaled for Irin to come with me.'Pardon me if I am being mean, but I can't take the air at this table right now, " I said firmly, trying to keep my emotions in check as I made my way. Irin followed closely behind me, sensing the tension at the long table and knowing it was best to leave.
''You really don't know anything but to leave, abandon, or ignore the people around you just because people don't agree with your beliefs, which I think is a useless aspiration of women like you who think of themselves more than us men. Or maybe it's about your very good servant that you inexplicably hold in high regard.'' Said George before I even stepped away from the table , his words cutting through the air like a knife. I paused, feeling the weight of his accusations and struggling to maintain my composure in front of everyone.
His chair made a sound, and everyone's attention was on the person who did it. George walked to Freen's chair and spilled the glass of wine he was holding. Freen yelled and jumped up, her face turning red with anger. The tension in the room was palpable as George stood there, a smug expression on his face, daring Freen to retaliate. The room fell silent as everyone waited to see what would happen next. looking at George with a sharp eye, but she turned gloomy and weak when Nop held her hand. That action is kind of painful to see."ฟรีนอยากไปห้องน้ํา (Freen wants to go to the bathroom'') Nop said, standing beside Freen.''Would it be alright if I let her go with you , Rebecca? '' Nop said, who is now looking at me with a genuine smile.''So ? ''Nop asked, waiting for my response.''Huh? '' I said, not understanding Nop's sudden request. "Of course, she can go with me," I agreed, getting all the opportunity needed to take Freen away from here.Is he saving us from this situation?Why? Nop's genuine smile and sudden request to let Freen go with me made me wonder if he was trying to save us from the uncomfortable situation. His actions seemed protective and caring, leaving me feeling grateful for his intervention.Without any other thought, I took Freen's hand and dragged her with me out of that party.I saw Irin in my peripheral vision following us. I was walking with no direction. I have no idea where the bathroom is in this palace. I just continued dragging her with me, taking her away from those people going away from the noise and chaos of the party. As we walked further away, I could feel Freen's tension easing and her grip on my hand relaxing. It was clear that she needed a break from the overwhelming situation, and I was determined to provide her with some peace and quiet.And I am willing give her safety and comfort in whatever way I can, even if it means getting lost in this palace together. And when find a safety spot where there's no disturbance, I plan to sit down with her and just be there for her, offering my presence as a source of support and reassurance.But what happened next took my breath away. She pulled me into a warm embrace, tears streaming down her face as she finally let out all the emotions she had been holding in. It was in that moment that I realized just how much she needed someone to lean on, and I was grateful to be there for her.While I was holding her and caressing her back, I realized Irin was not with us anymore. We must have walked so fast that we lost Irin on the way.When I finally calmed down, she pulled away, and maybe upon realizing what she just did, I could sense embarrassment in her action, but I pulled her back, missing the warmth of her body next to me. And we pull away I looked at her teary face and saw the vulnerability in her eyes, a vulnerability that she rarely showed to anyone. In that moment, I knew our bond had deepened beyond words, and I vowed to always be there for her no matter what.She was so close to me that I can still feel her warmth radiating off of her skin, and I can feel her face becoming nearer to mine, and my eyes automatically close, waiting for something. I felt her breath on my face, her lips brushing mine. I was waiting and anticipating. I admit, this is the longest moment of my life.I can tell her that she's obese on my face because I can feel breath in my jaw near my exposed neck. I can her how her breath gets heavy in my ear, and I can feel her heart beating against my chest. This moment feels like eternity, but I never want it to end.My body is filled with a mix of excitement and nervousness, unsure of what will happen next but not wanting the moment to pass. The anticipation builds as I wait for her next move, hoping it will be everything I've been dreaming of.I jolted when her hand right hand hold my my waist and pulls me closer to her, sending shivers down my spine. In that moment, I know that whatever happens next will be unforgettable.'' Finally!!There you are !!''
