It was really a long night for Eren.
He thought about everything he had learnt and how he'd lived for the past five years knowing something was off.
He found it strange that he was oddly good at growing expensive herbs and crude flowers, and now he was finding out that he is a purple aura sorcerer. He wasn't even sure what he was because purple aura sorcerers were not really talked about.
Eren once heared that Lord Gaza, the only purple aura sorcerer there ever was, could make a tornado just by commanding the wind. They say he formed the four kingdoms and ruled all four with his power, but that was a long time ago.
Eren, after some time couldn't help but give up on thinking. He took out the pen and sheets he bought to write to Maya. He wrote everything he had seen so far and about Lady Eva.
He folded it into a bird and placed it on the table in a flight position then he closed his index fingers. His eyes turned glowing yellow and the paper bird flew out through the window.
The Willberg household is the head of military in the Eastern kingdom, holding up the most powerful house in the Eastern kingdom in an anonymous sense.
No one dared defy them because they had access to all the information about everything going on in the Eastern kingdom.
The Lord of the Willberg household was general Lord Marcus, the overall general of the eastern kingdom's army for fifty years now. Still acting as the overall general even at his declining age of sixty, he married Lady Geta from the Billords household, the first daughter of one of the leading ten houses in the Eastern kingdom. They had three children; the two rivals for the seat of the next overall general of the Eastern kingdom, Master Kester and Master Valerian, and then Lady Eva.
Lady Eva's rank had been moved up because she is by far the most dangerous of the Willberg household members. Instead of being called the mistress, as the last child and only daughter of the house, she was called the Lady, as she ran her own house in her father's name. None of her siblings or her father held a candle to her, she was respected as a noble lady through out the Oalia division.
Lady Eva runs the black market in the kingdom with a noble background. No one dares question her authenticity as her tracks were covered and she is spotless with no proof whatsoever that she is the head of the black market trade. She is like a blood stench concealed with perfumes and flowers, and she is by far the richest.
Elegance, poise, a dainty demure appearance, humility, and aura to its perfection. She could do whatever she pleased under everyone's nose and no one would dare object.

Day had come.
The bed was too big and Eren felt uncomfortable so he slept on the floor.
The room was so cold so he turned the conditioner off, left the curtains wide open, and took off his robe laying on the bare ground, with a duvet.
A maid walks in to see the young master laying on the floor robeless. He had even pushed aside the duvet at some point during the night. She noticed that he had fair skin and a well built body only that he was a little skinny. She thought he slept like a baby elephant, liking her masters appearance.
She walked over to the window and raised the inner curtains, letting the suns rays hit Eren's face.
Eren woke with a confused expression. He sighed, opened his eyes, then sat up to the direction of the light.
There stood a girl about his age. She had brown long straight hair with bangs parted both sides. She wore on the maid's attire with a smile gently attached to her face and she had light yellow eyes.
"Good morning master. I'm Angel, your personal maid." She said with the calmest voice Eren has ever heard.
"Oh... Good morning." Eren replied dragging the duvet up to his chest.
"Lady Eva has instructed me to get you ready for your school Interview." she continued.
"My school?"Eren exclaimed. He forgot that he had to go to school. Eren has never been to school before so this was a bit sudden.
"Yes master, ER Academy." Angel said.
Eren stood up and held her by her shoulder.
"What did you say?" he asked shocked.
"ER Academy" Angel repeated with an expressionless face.
Elite Royal Academy was the school for all the Elite children of the society, head of houses, generals and royals. Just attending the school guaranteed success. The acheivements of the students were told through out the kingdom. Eren coming to find out that he was going to a school like that was mind blowing.
He immediately pushed away the duvet and hurried into the bathroom to get ready and after a few minutes he hurried out.
"Ahhh!!" Eren yelled on coming out of the bathroom.
Angel stood at the front of the mirror with a smile. She had already arranged the bed and cleaned the room. It was literally shining.
"What are you still doing here?" Eren asked. Angel smile dropped seeing the water from his body and hair drop on the floor. With a glare, she walked towards him. Eren could feel her anger from where he stood but didn't know why she was angry.
"What's going on?" He said, frightened.
"Stop coming close!" He yelled but she wouldn't stop so he closed his eyes and waited for what is to come next.
Angel took him by his shorts and dragged him over to the foot towel at the entrance of the bathroom.
"Oh..." Eren said, embarrassed after opening his eyes. Still fuming angry mad, she walked into the closet and took out a robe towel and handed it over to Eren.
Her mad face could make anyone tremble.
She took a mop and mopped the floor over again. Eren stood and watched Angel mop the ground without a word.
After mopping, she had calmed down so she walked over to the mirror, drew out the seat, then turned to Eren.
He immediately understood the stare, ran over and sat on the chair. Angel dried his hair and took care of it. She helped him pick out clothes and shoes to wear, then left him to the rest.
When Eren came down for breakfast, Angel informed him that Lady Eva liked to have breakfast outside in the garden every morning, and led to him to the garden at the backyard of the mansion.
The garden was so beautiful with different kinds of flowers and butterflies flying everywhere. The atmosphere was warm, and the birds whistled from the rear end of the garden where there were trees.
At the centre of the garden was Lady Eva sitting on a white chair, a matching table before her, with a cup of tea and sandwich on a plate on the table. She had her legs crossed. The tiny cup on her right hand, and a sandwich in her other hand. She wore a white Shakespearean turtle-neck crop top with long puffy sleeves, and a light blue fitted skirt. Her hair was straightened down her back, stopping at her waistline.
There were two other reserved seats, so Eren went and sat on the one opposite Lady Eva, and Angel sat on the other one.
"Good morning." Eren said.
"Good morning." Lady Eva replied after lowering her teacup onto her saucer.
Eren stared as she held the bread with a tissue and used another tissue to wipe the ends of her mouth when she had finished eating. To top it all up, she had another napkin hanged on her top to prevent it from getting stained.
Eren stared at Lady Eva for a moment and decided to ignore.
He reached for the sandwich bare-handed, but Angel slapped his hand away.
He stared at her in anger and confusion.
"Starting today, Angel will be giving you lessons on etiquette, table manners, and how to use the cutlery." Lady Eva said.
Without hesitation, Angel started her demonstration.
She took out a a napkin and hung it on her chest, then took a tissue and wrapped the sandwich in it. She turned to Eren.
Eren rolled his eyes and copied her, but she kept on staring at him.
"Okay, what am I doing wrong?" Eren asked knowing that look.
"Sit straight." Lady Eva said.
"You mean 'suck in your butt and straighten your back'... No thank you, so uncomfortable." Eren retorted.
"You wouldn't want to disgrace yourself in front of everyone during lunch in your new school, would you?" Lady Eva implied.
Eren looked at her, then looked at Angel who had a null expression - as always. Eren sighed.
"Fine." He said, and sat up straight.
Lady Eva smiled and resumed her meal.
"She doesn't talk much, does she?" Eren suddenly asked.
"No, she doesn't. Her parents died when she was young, since then, she hasn't said much. But, not to worry. She's the best at her job." Lady Eva said straightforwardly.
Eren looked at Angel to see a completely expressionless face -as always.
"Oh" he simply said.
"Now that outfit is more like it." Lady Eva acknowledged.
"Thank you. I just wore what Angel told me to." Eren replied.
"I told you she is the best at her job." Lady Eva said, then smiled. "Hurry up. We're supposed to be there at 9am." She said.
Eren looked at the watch he found in the dressing room along with many others. "What?! It's already 11!" Eren said annoyed.
"That's why I said hurry up." Lady Eva said, continuing her meal.
