Leo was looking outside of the window in his office, while lost deep in thought. His face was cold and solemn. He had not expected the maid to take Eli's name. If Eli was the one who had checked Evan dishes and helped her in serving them, he was stuck in a loophole. As much as he trusted Evan, he trusted Eli too. 

She could never do anything that was inappropriate and the trust was not because they were family. But it was developed over time.

"My lord, the lady that had come with the Matriarch is here to see you. She said that she would not go back unless she would meet you.`` The aide was looking as if he was bitten by a snake, his hair was disheveled and there was an urgency in his voice, while his face looked exhausted.

Leo parted his lips to deny such an audacious request, but then his eyes flashed with a sinister ray, and a smile curved on his lips.

The aide, who was already exhausted by bearing the tantrums and nasty attitude of the young lady, felt that he had seen his death in front of him. The sinister smile on Leo's face was no less than the permit of death.

He would rather bear the banshee than the demon.

"I think I can take her for another walk, my lord.'' He bowed his head and turned to walk out before even waiting for his reply, as he was scared of the punishments he could get.

"Send her in. and you may retire for the night." as if struck by lightning. The aide froze in his steps. Did his master ask him to rest while he would handle the banshee!? 

Tears of gratitude filled his eyes as he turned to look at Leo, whose eyes were still filled with sinister glint. 

"My lord, you do not need to worry about my wellbeing. I am.." but before he could give assurance to Leo, that he could still handle the girl, Leo peered straight into his eyes, and the aide shivered. Without saying another word, he bowed his head and left the room.

Soon the sound of heels clicking on the floor could be heard in the room. Aurora's face was filled with arrogance when she entered. her eyes observing the luxurious room with jealousy and greed! Her eyes sparkled as she took everything in. 'Soon it would all belong to me!'

But her expressions turned to meek and frail girls that had suffered great grievances when she looked at Leo.

She even squeezed a few tears out of her eyes as she looked at him with an aggrieved face.

"My lord, i am here to plead with you that you should change your aide!" She did not wait for a second or notice his expressions before speaking. She just started like a rattle drum was shook hard, 

"Not even he wasted a lot of time on the way by stopping the carriage many times. He even did not let me meet you by telling me the wrong path to your practice area. In the end, I spent all my afternoon in a maze and it is all because you did not take me with you!" her tone was full of pain as she came near him and sat beside him. Her hands were itching to move to his cheeks and cupped them in her hands.

She held her dress tightly to stop herself from making any mistakes. She had to win the heart of this man first.

"Leo.. I am hurt. Just look at my hands and feet. They got scratched by the bushes in the maze." she fluttered her eyes as she gently raised her gown, hoping that he would notice how beautiful her skin was!

All she needed was his one acceptance, then she would rule this whole palace. Instead of being the mere daughter of a viscount. She would be the duchess.

"Then you must not get the time to have lunch. Shall I ask the maids to bring you a few dishes?" she blinked at his abrupt and different reply and let go of her skirt with an embarrassed face!

But when she thought that he must be worried about her being hungry, her eyes sparkled again. 

"Mm, I just came a few minutes ago and came straight to meet you. Eating did not even cross my mind as I was worried that you would think I have not come to see you training.

I did not want you to misunderstand me. In fact, Leo.. I want to spend all my time with you only" her voice was coquettish while she played with the hair in her fingers and bit her lips seductively.

Leo felt nauseated with her behavior, he wanted to push her away, but even for that he had to touch her but he didn't want to get his hands dirty.

"Then, wait! I will call the maids to serve you the meal that was served to my aunt. After all, you are the guest, aunt brought with her.`` Though his tone was calm, it was a bit cold and distant.

Her face changed color when she heard him speaking and laughed awkwardly. "You should not take the aunt's portion to feed me. I only eat a few bites anyway. I will take a small potion for your food. 

After all, as a wife.." she stopped in between as she smiled shyly. Her face turned redder and the pale and shocked expression of her face were nowhere to be seen yet Leo had noticed already.

His eyes had narrowed on her yet he said nothing.

"I think that you need a shower, I can still smell the smell of animals and dirt on you." her body turned rigid when he heard her. Her face turned sharp and ugly! Did he mean to say that she was stinking! Never in her life had she been this insulted. 

A scowl formed on her face but she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. In the next second her eyes filled with unshed tears.

"Did the lord mean to say that I am looking ugly and dirty?" she asked as she fluttered her eyes with expectations. Who would dare insult this sweet smile. She was sure of her victory when she looked at him with a face that could cry if he affirmed it.

"And stinking too!"

"..........."
