Chapter 114: Watching The Death-II

When the afternoon came, Elise saw from the large window which was now not covered by any curtain carriages entering the wide entrance to White Mansion. Her eyes stared at the many horses, luxurious carriages, before her eyes saw the people that came down from the carriage.

The ladies and gentleman none were excepted was dressed in fancy clothes and dresses. She saw how the ladies were even more merriest when it come to dressing themselves with silk fabrics and jewelries in their necks and hands. Not only humans came to the castle, Elise saw red eyes of vampires, the werecats, and werewolves. She also could tell that most of the humans that came was a descendant of mythical beings.

Thinking of being, the immortal beings that Elise talked about yesterday with Master Ian came to her mind. She could tell the immortal beings they had talked about was possibly Master Ian, but what is an immortal beings? She had heard myths of beings that could never die but there was only a little. From behind, suddenly Elise felt a hop to her pocket, looking down she find it was Hallow who had entered her apron pocket.

"There\'s too much humans, nasty." tched the grim reaper, looking at the humans who had dolled themselves as if they were going to be feasted upon. "What are they doing dressed like puffer puffs? They are fluffier than my body now." commented the chick, he looked at the waves of humans and then spoke, "Look at that Elly, isn\'t that the same woman who came by the mansions last time?"

Elise narrowed her eyes to get a better look of the person Hallow mentioned to see Lady Ellen and her father had entered the building amongst other guests. "There will be a lot of people today." said Elise.

"Are you worried about it?" A different voice fell to her ears, surprised, she turned her head to meet Ian\'s smile which seemed as if he was having many hidden intention under his smile.

"Good afternoon, Master Ian." Elise didn\'t forget to greet and receive a smile in return.

Ian shifted his eyes from the chick that avoided his eyes then forward to the place Elise had been staring at. "What are you watching from here?" he asked.

"I was seeing the guests." she replied which was the truth.

Ian took one step closer taking her bright red hair and played the texture to his hands, it was soft noted Ian. "You could stand in the entrance if you want to see them. But I guess you shouldn\'t now, there will be time." he alluded his voice singing the words that turns out to be melodious.

"Are you not going to the greet the guests, Master Ian?" she asked curiously and he pushed her hair behind her ears his touched slowly slides to the sheep of her ears and he found his finger behind the ear, sliding it down and feeling the ticklish slide, Elise shuddered.

Ian took his hands from her, "As the Lord I believe no one there is waiting to greet me, they came to greet me. If I greet only one single person, the rest will expect me to do the same. It\'s better not to avoid certain problems."

Elise didn\'t forget this. Ian White is the Lord of Warine, close to the throne to be the King of the four lands which was empty for years now due to the problems across the five lands. However, if the King was going to be elected, it was clear to say Ian would be the King.

Today the guests wouldn\'t miss the chance to be on the good side of the Lord. Most ladies who were yet married was especially eager than the rest to charm the Lord. The parents of the ladies also encouraged them to do so. To their eyes, what could be better than being the Lady of the Land? Not only will they be basking in endless wealth with servants, jewels, and dresses, they would also bring honor to their families, rising up their names. Only a fool didn\'t come to the castle today.

But little do they know the Lord had his own thought for today\'s party.

A tainted smile rested on his lips as his eyes viewed the guests entering the castle. "What could be better than seeing foolish lambs moving to be sacrificed?" Ian spoke in a thin voice which even Elise who had her face in front of him couldn\'t took what he said.

She turned her head at Ian, "Pardon?" Elise thought she heard Master Ian speaking but didn\'t hear his words well.

"I\'m saying that I think you should go now, dear and leave the bird-chick with me. We can\'t have this little thing ruining everything this afternoon." Ian stretched out his hand to her pocket, taking the chick that frowned and wailed.

"I\'m not a bird!" Hallow yelled, Elise watched Ian\'s back as he left the place then slowly she realized Maroon who had been walking behind Ian. When their eyes met, Elise bowed at the passive butler who only replied her bow with another polite bow that had Elise to be confused why the butler would bow at her.

Then following from behind was Cynthia and Austin. Austin walked toward Elise happily, waving his hands to hug her but was stopped with the Lord\'s glare he sent silently. In the end Cynthia and Austin only waved at her which she returned brightly. She wondered if they were in a hurry?

Elise then helped the rest of the work happening the castle but she didn\'t participate right beside the guests. She didn\'t think she should go as she wasn\'t assigned there other maids, however, was eager to be with the guests.

Like the ladies who came to be in the favor of Ian, the maids wish to find suitors by attending to serve around the castle. It was all the maids\' wishes to have a wealthy man to come and ask for their hands. They were hyped to go and use whatever resources that could make them shine better with powders. Although for a maid it is rare for them to be court by men of the wealthy class, it was possible with many examples that happened in the past.

But Elise knows that some times the story of those maids didn\'t ended well. She had seen how there was a maid who had become a mistress of the house when her husband find a younger wife and kicked the woman out from the house. Some times there were things that are better to see but not to touch or take, thought Elise to herself. But Love wasn\'t something that could be stopped, she added again.

Like how she loved the Lord even knowing their different in status, she wish to stand beside him. The advances Ian made, she hoped it was more than affections.

"Elise, are you free now?" called Mila in a gentle tone, she turned to see it was the older woman. Wiping her hands from the water, she stood from Carmen and Vella to then hear Mila speak, "We are running out of people in the room, you\'ll be going there."

Curiously, Elise asked, "Which room?"

"The Lord\'s court room," Mila explained.
