Chapter 58
When were on the long break from our school in the demon world, Lookz-sama and I had a chance to came back to heaven. The trip to this place wasnt that difficult because we used Lookzs Pegasus. It wasnt that long that we safely reached heaven.
Umm..!
When we stopped in front of Lookzsama mansion, Its my duty to pick up our stuff. They werent that heavy. If we counted the first time that we went to the demon world then these were lighter compared to that one. Its only two big suitcases so I thought that only one trip should be enough.
But before I could grab them down from the pegasuss back, Lookz-sama quickly grabbed the bigger one out of my hand.
Lookz-sama, I think I should be the one who holds it.
Do you think I cant hold this?
No!! Its not like that!!
Wasnt I always the one who held them?
Even if I want to tell him thatIt seemed like Lookz-sama was in a very good mood today, so he wants to hold the suitcase himself.
Fufu~ I couldnt help myself as I unintentionally laugh.
What are you laughing at?
Its nothing. I only think that Looka-sama looks really cool.
Humph! Isnt I always like that?
He told me and then turned his head to the side. Did I make him angry? But I thought he looked very cool! Well, more than normal anyway
When we reached the entrance, a group of maids was already waiting for us. They quickly arranged our stuff. My duty was to serve Lookz-sama full-time. It was like that normally. I guessed I had been staying at the demon world, so I wasnt used to it at all when I came back here. Was it because this place didnt have Shiwa, Akane and Shelyn?
Lookz-sama would go to give his greeting to all of his elders without resting. Would he get tired? At least, He should get some rest before going out.
Umm I tried to tell him when we were on the carriage.
What is it?
AhI think that Lookz-sama has already traveled all day so It will be good if Lookz-sama gets some rest.
ButIf you arent tired then its alright! I apologize for making you worried over this.
Go back to the mansion. I want to get some rest.
Lookz-sama suddenly told the driver to turn the carriage back. I wasnt even sure now that he was really tired or was it because I told him to get some rest?
I will go to the palace tomorrow. You have to prepare yourself too.
Yes.
Why did Lookz-sama have to go to the palace? There wasnt any banquet held there.
You are making a face like you want to know the reason why I have to go there.
Ah..!? I-i apologize.
I felt like I wasnt very good at concealing my emotion and hiding my curiosity.
I could only lower my head down and apologized to him.
You dont have to apologize to me. I onlywant to go there to deal something about the princess and be done with it.
The princess?
Yes
T-thats a very good thing!
If their relationship improved for the better then It wouldnt be too far for them to get engaged. After that, Lookz-samas family would have a connection to the royal family. You could see it clearly that would only bring many good things to Lookz-sama. They both were of a high status and would be a match made in a heaven. Nousing that words would be an understatement!
I should be happier than this
What happened, Bella? Lookz-sama moved his face towards me.
OhIts nothingAhWhich type of tea do you want after we reach the mansion? How could I muster enough courage to voice my opinion about this matter to him? Instead, I tried to change the subject.
Whatever.
If thats the case then a rose tea from the north was very popular in this season, do you want to try it?
Umm
As your wish.
Stopstop the carriage!!
Ah!
!!!
Lookz-sama suddenly told the driver to stop driving. The carriage stopped before a womens cloth store. Therere many white dresses lined up in front of the shop. Its very clear that he wanted to buy it as a gift for the princess to make up for his mistake and he probably wanted to please her.
I will go with you to carry your stuff!
Noyou stay here.
When I tried to tell him that I will help him, he immediately rejected my offer. Maybe he wanted to keep it as a surprise to the princess. It was almost to the point that
Its weird
Lookz-sama was going to have a bright futureI should be happier than this.
This feelingwas very weird.
In the middle of the night, I woke up to find a servants toilet with a stomachache. Even if I had the privilege to stay inside the servants bedroom alone, a toilet was something I had to use with others. Thats the time that
I saw Lookz-sama walked in a corridor. I follow him along with a curiosity in my mind.
Its strangethat Lookz-sama went out of his bedroom in the middle of the night. His bedroom also included a toilet. OhWas he hungry? If thats the case then Its my duty to prepare a food that suited to his stomach considered what time it was right now!!
I hurriedly walk up to him, but he abruptly stopped in front of a room that still had a light on. It was the masters room, the owner of this mansion or the father of Lookz-sama.
Knock knock
Come in
A deep voice from a man could be heard from the inside of that room. Lookz-sama opened the door and went inside. AhHe only wanted to speak with the master but what did he want to talk about at a time like this? It should be a very important matterThe matter that I shouldnt know
Father!! I want to marry her!!
Gasp!!
They even had an argument!!!
I tried to back myself away from that spot, but a shout was what made me stop on my track.
L-lookz-sama wanted to marry the princess that much!!?
To have a quarrel with the master like this, the desire to marry the princess must be extraordinary. Even when he had a strong yearning like this, I only thought about myself.
I failed at my duty, huh.
Id decided!! I would support him and the princess to the best of my ability!!
No matter what happened!!
Crack!!
HmmWhos there!!?
While I was fighting with myself inside of my head, the shouting from Lookz-sama made me snapped out of my thought. My wingwas poking out. I didnt have other choices than revealing myself to him. I didnt know how heavy a punishment would be for eavesdropping like this? If I told him the truth, would he get angry at me?
Bell, what are you doing here? D-dont tell me that you heard everything!!?
AhUmmI only heard a little bit, but I didnt have any intention to eavesdropping you!! I only
Ahyou dont have to speak any more!
I really have to apologize to you, Lookz-sama.
I bent my head down to apologize him. What should I do? He must be very angry at meI tried to look up at his face with a fear in my heart, but his face right now wasnt showed any hint of angry expression. It was the face that had a redness all over, even to the tip of his ears.
Come over here
Where are we going?
He didnt answer me. He only grabbed my arm and pulled me to walk along until we stopped in front of Lookz-samas room
Why did he bring me here?
Umm
You sleep here tonight.
O-ohYes.
He only wanted me to guard this room and I just thought things would be complicated than this. I slowed my breath down and thats when my stomach was beginning to ache again!
Urg!
Bell, whats happened!?
I-i want to use a toilet Ah!! How embarrassed!!
Why dont you use it then? My toilet is over there.
Thank you very much
I bolted to the toilet in a flash. I had never imagined before that I would have a chance to use his toilet. Its very embarrassing, but if I didnt hurry then it will surely become a tragedy!!
When I finished doing my business, I saw Lookz-sama leaned against his headboard reading some book.
Lookz-sama looked even more handsome when hes like this. The indigo blue eyes which were basked in the light from a lamp were really charming. His gold hair was also glittering in the midst of the night time like this.
AhThere are no women on this land who wouldnt have a crush on him. Thats included the princess. If she accepts his apology and his gift for her then her heart would melt for sure. Lookz-samawere going to get together a good woman like the princess. I really glad for him.
NoI couldnt look at him anymore than this. I have to keep an eye on him
But when I sat on the sofa, a sharping glare from Lookz-sama was instantly on me.
What are doing there?
Ihave to keep an eye for you.
You dont have to do that. I told you to sleepso just come here.
A-ah?
He patted a space beside him and called me to sleep there, right?
OhIt would be better if I stay beside him when keeping an eye on him! Lookz-sama really had a sharp-witted!
But when my back touched the softness from his bed just like a bed at the school, I felt my eyes slowly shut down. You couldnt do that!! If I slept, nobody would be here to guard him!!
Goto sleep right now. You have to wake up early tomorrow. Lookz-sama lie down on his side towards my direction and closed his eyes.
But
Sleep
Y-yes
If he spoke like this then It couldnt be helped. I should sleep just like him told me to.
Islept inIt seemed I really slept too much this time.
At first, I intended to wake up at the first ray of light as I would have time to back to my room and get preparedbut its already 7 AM!!!
I even woke up later than Lookz-sama!!!
I apologize! I will hurry up and bring a breakfast and!
You dont have to hurry. Im not that hurry.
If thats the case then what will you like for breakfast?
Whatever in the kitchen.
I understand! I will hurry up!!
Wait for a minute, Bell.
Yes?
He called me so I stopped myself for a moment. He brought out a white paper bag and handed it to me. I received it and looked inside but isnt thisa white dress? Its gorgeous. Was he intended to give this to the princess? Was this dress had a defect? Did he want me to sew it?
Do you want me to sew this?
What? You idiot, thiss a new dress. Why should I want you to sew it?
AhThis?
I want you to wear this when we go to the palace.
I cant wear this, Lookz-sama!
Ive already measured the size. You can wear it.
Butit!!It looks very expensive!! Wasnt this your gift to the princess!?
I told you to wear it so you have to wear it.
Yes!!
So he didnt buy this for the princess? What did he buy for her then?
I could only store that question in my heart and exited the room. All the maids quickly asked me what was I doing in Lookz-samas room. I only told them that I guard his roomeven though I wasnt doing anything other than sleeping in there.
When I finished my bath, I tried to wear the white dressand found that its really fit my body. The white knee-length dress which also had a lace at the end and a white stocking that looked very expensive. I was only his servantDid I have to wear something like this too?
Its weirdMy heart was beating fast
Was this feelingcalled a happiness?
Inside a big guest room, Lookz and princess Elena were quietly sipping a tea. He and Bella both came to the palace together but Bella had to split up and went to stay inside another guest room. Both of them had something to discuss in private.
Its unbelievable that you could break the curse. Its a popular topic right now, you know.
The curse like that cant do anything to me.
The graceful princess Elena was slowly sipping her tea. She had light brown hair and a pair of blue-green or the color of the deep sea eyes. Her skin was also flawless. In conclusion, she was list as a top beautiful woman on this land.
OhWhy do you brag like that? Dont you want to give an apology to me today?
Im doing just that and Ive already said it.
When was that?
Just a moment ago.
Hmmrude as always. With an attitude like this, you will have a hard time finding a wife.
I dont want a person like you to judge me. I know that you dont want to get engaged with me in the first place. You want to use me as a tool, right? Erase that from your thought now.
The atmosphere inside was beginning to get tense to the point that the princess Elena exhaled a long sigh. Her last mask was crack and broken now so
The princess Elena had a secret. Something that she couldnt tell anyone.
SighThiss why I hate men who only have a muscle.
HumphYou dont have a right to say thatYou are the one whos a gay!
How rude. I only love woman with my pure intention. I only determined to get engaged with you to trick my father, but you were the one who humiliated me at that banquet. You are the one whos cruel.
You are the cruel one too. Using me to trick your father like that.
Ara~ Count this as an even. If you really want to apologize to me then why dont you send Bella to me? I promise that I will take very good care of her. Fufu
No way!!
The princess loveda person of the same gender!!
The truth was that she didnt really want to get engaged with Lookz in the first place. She only did it because this would give a benefit to her!! But her plan fell even before she had a chance to start!
Ara~How possessive. I never see Lookz-sama getting possessive over anyone this much before. I really want to know what your relationship toward her, I mean that little cute angel~ She squinted her eyes into a slit waiting for his answer.
HumphI will engage with her and marry her after we graduate from the school.
Oh my god! If you can say it with this much confidence then thats mean you already asked her, right?
Ara~ if you are silent like this then you still havent asked her. What a pity, little Bella is about to get capture inside a golden cage by a demon who has white wings
Shut your mouth this instant.
Ufufu, I will wait for something fun from now on. Ara~ Its time for me to have a piano class so we have to say a goodbye for now. I will accept your cute apology, Goodbye.
Goodbye, I wish we dont have to see each other face again.
Ara~ that would be difficult. But if we are going to see each other again next time, would you bring Bella to this room too? I would be very happy to see her.
Dont even wish to touch her hair.
How scary~ Fufu~
The princess Elena laughed out loud before going back to wear a mask of a perfect princess and went away from the guest room. He slowly exhaled because this way, the problem that was on his mind finally disappeared.
The princess Elena had a good reputation and all of the citizen on this land also respected her and thats included many nobles too. Thats why nobody knew she hid her true malicious nature behind her mask, but her malicious nature was one that benefits this land. In fact, She hated men to the bones. She also had a plan to get rid of a man, who she deemed as an annoyance, out of her life. On the other hand, If that person was a woman, her personality would do a complete 180-degree change.
Knock knock.
Come in.
Lookz-sama, I heard you finished discussing something with the princess so I come here.
Bella opened the door of the guest room when she got the permission to do so. She came inside and went to stand beside him just like always.
Lookz glanced at Bella who wore the beautiful white dress that he chose it himself with a red face.
He hadnt thought anything wrongIt really suited her.
He hid his thought in his heart. The truth was that he wanted her to wear a beautiful dress every day. He wanted her to come sleep inside his room and he wanted to stay with her even more than this. Even if he had to use an excuse such as visiting an elders house. But the pride in his heart was higher than a mountain, he didnt dare to tell his intention to her.
Lookz-sama, pleasestay still.
What? WhyBell?
Suddenly, It looked as if she could read his thought. Her face was moving towards him. The gap between their face was narrow down dangerously. Her face was really close to him right now. His heart was beating hard as though it would explode when the face of the girl he liked coming towards him.
Noyou couldnt do that, Bellthis s
This place wasnt his mansion, but rather the palace. ButNobody was here to see it anyway He slowly closed his eyes down waiting for the sensation that would come after this
AhThere is it. Theres a dust at your collar. I think its from outside.
What?
Bella lightly wiped the dust away from his collar using her handkerchief.
O-ohThats right. Whats about your talk with the princess? Didnt you talk to her about your marriage with her?
Marriage?
The thing that you talked with the master last night, wasnt Lookz-sama want to marry the princess?
What?
He could only gasp at Bellas sparkling eyes. She looked at him with a hopeful look on her face while he recalled what happened last night. He even had a quarrel with his father for a long time because he wanted to get engaged with her. He even thought thatshe heard all of that so he brought her to sleep in his room!!
IWhat did I do this for?
Lookz-sama, why do you make such a sad face like thatDid the princess reject you!?
Go away
