Now as of August the 18th 2015 I will update even more rare. I created a Fictionpress profile (if you're interested PM me :) ) so I'm going to try updating that story. But I will give my best to update my ongoing stories here of course! Since Fanfiction is important! I will put this on my stories once I update them :) Oh and I will be on a vacation for ten days starting August the 22nd and I can't take a computer so there won't be any writing at all D:.(Although it's a camp on the sea with my writing group... but we're probably just going to roll in our beds in our free time xD) But! I will update here too as much as my schedule allows when I'm still here! And when I return! I shall copy this to my stories when I post an update now!

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

PS: This chapter is pretty short but… there are characters I didn't talk about. That's why

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Chung? Wake up…" Ara was slightly pushing him.

"I'm awake."

"Oh… So… yesterday…"

"What is it?" She blushed.

"Nothing! I have to go!"

"Stay with me…"

"I have work…"

"I'm your work."

"But-" He took her hand and pulled her to him.

"Ara you're mine."

"Eve will be searching for me…"

"Alright… but please return fast. I want to be with you as much as I can." She left the room. Her heart was beating fast. She was now his lover. Not his maid. She searched for Eve. She was nowhere to be found. She searched in the big kitchen. Everybody said they haven't seen her since last night. Ara went to Eve's room and knocked. No answer. She knocked for five more minutes until she decided to go in. The room was empty. Ara was starting to get worried. Even if it was Eve it was still a person… She went to search for her in the small kitchen. She screamed. A lot of people came. Everybody looked in shock. They took them away to the hospital. Ara read the notes. She cried and cried. Eve… Eve to who everybody was rough. Even she. Even Ara couldn't say she was nice. Even Ara couldn't see that it actually hurt. And Elesis… the always cheerful girl she knew almost her whole life. Something happened. What? Ara wanted to know. What could drive her to suicide?

She walked in shock to Chung who was standing there with similar confused look. She started crying. Why couldn't she do anything… why did they… die. Chung tried calming her down.

"They may live…"

"They… they won't. So much blood. They p-probably died an hour ago."

"Don't worry. They will live." He hugged her and she cried.

Raven talked to the shocked servants.

"Because of this… tragedy all of you are dismissed for the day. I-I…" He was silent. Also he felt the same shock as the others. Like them he was also confused. He sat down on one chair. Then everyone were silent. Then one girl came in front of everyone and screamed.

"WHY? WHY?" She broke in tears. A few people went to calm her. Rena closed the room's doors.

"Please everyone… let's continue with our day. It's better if you all go rest a little in the town. Please let's try… forgetting." She said.

"Forget… how? They died."

"It's not yet sure…"

"It is! Don't hide it!"

"Please calm down…" Everybody was looking at Rena like she killed them and yelling at her. She started backing away.

"All of you! Please leave the things alone. Even if we stay here all day nothing will change. Nothing is for sure. They might live. Please be understanding. It's not up to us." Said Chung defending his mother.

"Who are you? A defender of the poor? With that maid hanging around you?" Said a man they couldn't indentify. Ara tried moving away but he held her. If she moved now it might be worse.

"Yes! That maid you always hang around with! What is it? Because she's young?" Someone else screamed and Ara buried her face in his chest harder and her hands were squeezing his shirt. Everyone were jumping at them. They did nothing. But the people were having all sorts of feelings and they just let them out on them. Then the cook came.

"Come on people… what did they do to you? We must be calm. And isn't he your master. It's very rude to say he has such a maid. Ara is a hard working girl unlike most of you who laze around all day 'cleaning' the floor. And even if she is a special maid you have no right to criticize him."

"You're just trying to be good in front of him!"

"I may be doing that. Just remember it's good if you try too since your life and the life of your families depend on him. A lot of people are willing to work for the salaries you get. Not a lot other people are willing to give you such salaries. Be careful." After that all of them stopped talking. Ara moved away from Chung and ran to her room. He wanted to run after her and comfort her right away but he couldn't. It was not because he didn't want the servants to think of him as a bad person. He didn't want them to think of her as such a girl that is ready to do anything for more money. For her sake he waited. Not for himself. He waited until most people went away. He went to thank the cook. Add just smiled at him. Then he ran down to see how is Ara. She was crying.

"Chung… I guess I can't be with you… You… I don't want them to say bad things about you."

"But I want to be with you. Of course I cannot tell you I just ignore them. They sure get to me. But let's just live with them. Because one day they'll shut up. And let's be together that day." He smiled and hugged her. At first she tried pushing him away but then gave up. She kissed him.

"Thank you. I… I don't want to separate too. TO be honest I can't stand how they looked at me. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm not a perfect princess. I-I think mostly of myself… I'm s-selfish." She looked down.

"Don't worry. I know you think of me too. Even a little is enough. And it's hard. For me it's easier – I know. Because the next day you need to face them and work with them. While I can stay in my room and they won't dare say a word to me. Because as Add says their future and the future of their family depends on me. I can get rid of them all and take new ones. But I think most of them are good people. I wouldn't feel right if I do it. So please… endure it. I know I'm asking for a lot but… please."

"Alright. For you…" He sat next to her.

"Ara… what do you think of the suicide?"

"Ah…"

"For me it's a big shock."

"Yes… I never thought that someone might…"

"Right. But there is something that deeply interests me."

"That Eve was actually lonely?"

"No… of course that shocks me a lot but what interests me is in Elesis' note. Something bad happened to her." Ara remembered the last words. Yes. How did she miss that?

"Someone did something to her…" Chung continued. "I'm angry Ara!"

"Angry?"

"This happened here. With so much people here. So much staff. And now with these guests there is not a room free! So many people and yet… no one noticed! And we have good security. What bothers me more…"

"Is who did it… right?"

"Yes. Who was it. I can't become all detective-like but maybe… we can call a detective or something… I… This is wrong! I need to know who was it."

"I started wondering something else…"

"Hm?"

"Instead of who did it what it was."

"It said it's something horrible. We can exclude murder. At least." He laughed a little.

"I-I don't want to think about it now…" Ara started crying again. "I wonder… will I die like this one day?"

"Who knows. Well if I find you I'll kill myself too." Ara put her head on his shoulder.

"I'm tired… I want to sleep…"

"Well go to bed. Or… you want to go upstairs with me?"

"No!"

"Alright, alright. Sleep well." She took his hand.

"D-Don't leave. If Chung is not here I'll have a nightmare." She blushed.

"If I'm here I hope you dream of me." She blushed again and started crawling in her bed.

"No, no, no. If you want me here you will sleep here."

"W-Where?"

"Here~" He pulled her in his arms and her back was pressing against his chest. "Like this."

"N-No…"

"I'm your master."

"Still…"

"Then I'm leaving."

"No…"

"Then everything is alright!" She closed her eyes and was slowly falling asleep.

"I love you Ara…" He said in a low voice but enough for her to hear him.

"I love you too." He gently kissed her forehead and she fell asleep happy. She really dreamt of him.

While she was sleeping the door to her room opened.

"Son… I was searching for you."

"Ah… father. What for?" Chung was talking like he was alone in his room.

"Well… I think I just got my answer." He looked at the sleeping Ara.

"You sure did." Chung held Ara tighter. He was going to protect her from everything. Always. "Now I think there is no reason for you to stay here anymore. You can go figure it out in your room." He smiled.

"Well… she's pretty."

"All you can say? Not that I want any opinion on her."

"People started talking already."

"Of course I know. I was there."

"I'm not saying it to inform you on what happened! I'm warning you son!" Chung put his finger to his lips.

"Shh. Don't yell. She's sleeping."

"It's going to be hard."

"Accept it or not it's here. I know mother accepts it. I guess she didn't forget everything that happened in the past. Like you did."

"What do you know about our past?"

"Enough. But I do know about your present, father. I do not approve of it."

"You're my son! You have no right to criticize me!"

"As you do not have a right to criticize me."

"You… as your mother said you're too spoiled."

"Maybe I am. But I don't really care."

"You… I hope we did better job with your sister." Chung chuckled.

"Oh father you did a wonderful job."

"What's with the mock? Don't get like this!"

"Maybe soon you'll know. Maybe you won't. Because you never understand anything."

"I do see everything son."

"Well you should have foreseen this then."

"I couldn't. Because you're too… changing. One day you're my good boy the other you talk back to me."

"Thank you. I do enjoy being unpredictable."

"Please… tell me something."

"What is it?"

"Why her?"

"Because I love her of course."

"Well… I guess… I can't say anything." Chung smiled.

"I know you've been like this. You and mother did surpass the class difference."

"Yes we did."

"I want us to do what you did. But except one thing."

"What?"

"I won't cheat on her with whores." Raven widened his eyes. "Hit me. But you know… I hate you. I love mother. But I hate you. You toy with her. And you toy with the other woman. Or maybe women is more right to say."

"I… I didn't know you know."

"Oh father it's obvious!" Ara stirred a little in his arms and he continued in a calm voice. "I'm old enough to notice these things. And you're not really hiding it. I bet Aisha noticed too and is crying out her eyes. Yesterday night I heard some cries near my room. Walls are thin father."

"I'm sorry… for what I do."

"Being sorry might excuse you to Aisha or mother. But I don't like it. No matter what you say tomorrow night you will go out again."

"I won't anymore."

"Don't you dare lie."

"I'm not lying."

"We'll see. You don't see everything father. You're in the darkness with a small dying candle. Having it you think you see everything. But… I'm different. I'm in a well lit room. I know more than you do. About mother. About sister. Things you're unlikely to know."

"Still you're in a room son. You're too young to go in the open. My candle might be dying but I'll walk around and see everything with it. While you will be in your small room. Hate me all you wish – I don't and won't judge you. I will never hate you. Because you're my only son. I love your sister, you and your mother more than everything. I will tell your mother tomorrow. I hope you stop hating me. And I don't really oppose. She's a pretty girl. Treat her well."

"I will…"

"About the other girl… what are you planning to do?"

"I was thinking of taking her and her butler here as servants."

"Hm?"

"Well… she has her story. The important thing is she needs protection. I don't really want to leave her. And since she's coming back to work for me…" He looked down at Ara. No one said it but he knew she will. "She might do that position… helping Add. And Ciel might do what Elesis did. After all…"

"Yes… we actually are in need of more staff. So he's going to serve Aren?"

"Yes. And clean around. Is that alright?"

"Yes. As I said we need more people."

"Father… will they live?"

"It's most likely no. Elesis has some chance. Her body is fresher. But… Eve is lost. There is no way she will live. I haven't went to the doctor but I'm sure. Her body was blue. She lost too much blood to live. No matter what they do she's lost."

"Oh… She was with us… more than I can remember…"

"Yes. It's a big loss."

"Today I will talk to Lu." Changed the subject Chung.

"Yes you should."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Elsword was kissing her neck. He looked at her. She averted her eyes. What was happening now… felt so wrong. But yet fun. Exciting. Finally it was not Ara. It was her. She was in his arms. She. Only she. He kissed her roughly and threw her on the bed. He was very rough. She felt the rage in his kisses. That rage killed the fun. Because after all he was using her. Aisha thought he would stop. But he didn't. He went all the way. He hesitated for a little but he didn't stop. It happened.

In the morning she woke up very early. She took her clothes. She went up to her room. She closed the door behind her, threw herself on the bed and screamed in her pillow. She cried and her make-up got all over the white pillow. She couldn't care less. Now she knew it. She loved what he did to her. But it was very wrong. She wasn't supposed to like it. And he was just taking it out on her. Because he lost the real person he loves. She wasn't special. She was like that girl that ran from his room. A girl that's going to be thrown away. A girl that's not loved. When he touched her she didn't feel the warmth of love. If it was Ara for sure it would be different. He would be gentle. Because she was his porcelain doll. Aisha was his breakable toy. Because there were hundreds like her. But for him Ara was one of a kind. Special. But the thing wrong was that someone else saw her value. And she was firmly in the grip of that someone else. Even if Elsword confessed now. No matter what she would still choose Chung. He already had her since they were kids. But now it was absolute. His ownership on her. Aisha didn't know should she be happy or sad. If she was happy she would be bad. If she was sad that would be untrue. She stopped thinking about all that. All she thought about was what will she do today. Since that night was behind her now. She knew she would not experience it again.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Elsword was feeling guilty. He cried. Maybe he should have stopped. Maybe he shouldn't have went to her. Maybe he should have averted his eyes when she took her clothes off. Maybe he shouldn't have brought that girl to his room. Maybe… he shouldn't have went to see Chung and Ara. He wondered what are they doing right now. They were probably together. The guilt was eating him again. All he could see now in front of his eyes is the face of Aisha when he took her virginity from her. He was so stupid. For a lady her age that was very important. And she had to marry soon. How will she when she's used? He wondered what kind of person will her parents choose for her. What kind of man will she marry. Probably some rich guy from a very good family. He might be handsome too. They will talk in long sentences and flirt with simple talk the day they meet. Then they would marry. It would be big. Maybe they'll invite the servants too. Aisha will be in a wedding dress. Then when they kiss there will be a lot of clapping. Then after a few years they will have kids. Maybe two. And they will be living in a house. Maybe in another town. Far, far away. From this house. From… him. He cried again. The guilt got heavier. He dirtied her. But actually he didn't cry about that. He cried because he really enjoyed it. That face… he liked it.

At that time little did Elsword know that the time his little thought comes to live is sooner than he thinks.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Add opened the big door to his home. A brown haired maid greeted him.

"Welcome home Add-sama."

"Oh Ophelia! You shouldn't greet me every time I come home."

"It's my duty."

"Alright, alright."

"I didn't expect you to come home so soon. I will call the cook and the other maids to set the table and make food. I'm very sorry if it delays. We didn't expect you."

"Don't bother. I'm leaving again in a little."

"Oh. I know I shouldn't ask but where to?"

"Work."

"Work? Didn't you just come back…"

"No the actual work. I'm going there."

"Oh… Take care master."

"I will. I always do. Today I want something small for dinner. Bye Ophelia-chan."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

When he woke up Lu wasn't in the room. Ciel looked at the couch but she was gone. His Lu was gone. He started panicking. If… if she ran away from here alone somebody would get her. She would be killed. He sat on the couch where she was supposed to be. To live his life on his own. That's what she said. She… she did it for him because she wanted him to be happy. All these years with Lu made him get used to her smile. Get used to getting up with a person next to you. Get used to her warmness. Get used to her. Get addicted to her presence. Now when she was gone he felt bad. Incomplete. Sad. Miserable. But mostly lonely. Why… why did she decide to leave him so sudden… no it was probably planned. He was free now. He could talk to Aisha and don't be bound by duty. But he would give everything to be chained again. But no… not chained. Chained by her.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Lu was walking in the forest. Her luggage was heavy. She had no idea where to go. What she thought was she just had to let Ciel free. But it hurt. She threw her luggage. She stared crying. Then she picked it up again. She walked to the place where Ciel touched her like that for the last time. She sat where they were. She cried again. She kissed the tree where they were.

"Ciel… I need you…" She said quietly through her tears.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Rena was sitting on a chair near a small table. On the table was a bottle of whiskey. She was drinking fast. It was visible that she cried. Her eyes were full of tears now. She was looking to the front and drinking. Raven came and sat on the chair next to her. She didn't look at him.

"So… how is he?" She was silent.

"Aren… do you approve him. I think he would be great." Again silence.

"After all our daughter is old enough to marry now. I think we should let her meet him tomorrow. We can't hide him. And the sooner she gets to know him the better… Well it's good we found her such a nice husband. I'm sure she'll like him…" All he could hear coming from her was how she put down her glass and poured another one.

"Rena… what's wrong?" The tears in her eyes became more. She was on the verge of crying.

"I-I know Raven…" He was shocked. Maybe now was the time to apologize and talk it out…

"I'm so-" He started saying but she cut him off.

"Yesterday I slept with Add." She continued looking at the front with teary eyes while emptying her glass of whiskey.
