A few weeks had went by and Eileen picked up a few things about Nyloh. She was surprised that he was gentle to her but whenever there was a visitor Nyloh would have her to be somewhere else. At first she wondered why but she soon got her answer when she saw blood on Nyloh who would embrace her after he cleaned himself up.
Eileen also had some nice times to learn about herself despite everything. She enjoyed walking in the gardens and tending to the rose patch. She wondered why her new master didn't yell at her as she was there but she soon got her answer one day when she was cutting the thorns of the roses.
After doing so she made a rose crown and looked at herself in the reflection of the fountain that was in the center of the garden. She saw that Nyloh had been watching her and he asked her if she would make him a rose crown as well. She wondered if he was serious about it but she made him one any way.
What amused Eileen the most was to learn how much of a sweet tooth Nyloh had when she told him about deserts.
She had made strawberry cheesecake and Nyloh had a curiosity look on his face but he accepted the treat. Words couldn't describe how cute his chibi blushing face after the first bite. He ate the whole cake and Eileen went ahead and made more.
She lost count on how many she made but she was sure that it was more than 35 of those things. She used to address them as cheesecake but she was seriously annoyed with them that she called them anything else such as devil cakes because of how many of those little bastards she had to make.
She even fell asleep after the last cake was made and woke up on the love seat in Nylohs room only to see him snacking on the last cake while watching her sleep.
So far Eileen liked him but mainly for Nyloh being gentle with her but she hadn't forgotten that he was her master and that she was his concubine. It was only just a matter of time before he calls her that which was something she would silently dread over.
One day as Eileen was getting tea ready a visitor came to the manor but Nyloh was in his room.
Eileen wasn't nervous but she noticed that this new visitor seemed to be looking at her a certain way and she kept a distance from him.
The man however didn't let that go unnoticed as he went to her and placed a hand on her lower back and she tensed up causing the man to smirk.
"My, you're a shy one. Don't worry, I'll have to change that about you."
Eileen backed away from him but he came closer to her.
"Clearly one would say that you're still a child but to me you're a young woman."
He was very close and Eileen could feel his breath on her neck and she was getting scared.
'Nyloh, where are you?'
Just then the visitor was pulled back and was shoved face first into a wall by Nyloh. Eileen watched in fear when she saw Nyloh beating the man.
After a brutal beating the man smirked then looked at Nyloh.
"You haven't changed one bit, Young Master."
Nyloh just glared at him and the man went on.
"You're still the destructive killer that everyone feared. Now that this girl has seen you kill freely I bet she will fear even you."
Eileen looked at Nyloh only to hear him talk.
"Eileen, go to your room. I'll be there shortly."
Eileen wasted no time to get out of that room.
She was terrified but it was confusing. To her Nyloh was gentle but from what she heard from that man Nyloh was a killer due to having rage. Since her arrival, Eileen has never seen Nyloh snap.
Just then the door opened and Eileen saw Nyloh who went to her. Nyloh wrapped his arms around her and Eileen lowered her head so that her face was in his shoulder.
"Nyloh….is it true? About what that man said?"
Nyloh held onto her tighter.
"It's true. I killed so many people out of rage and for pleasure. All my killings began when I was a child who was also chained up because my father learned that I had all slayer styles of death magic."
Eileen felt him let her go then she looked at him only to see that he had his head lowered.
"Nyloh…."
Nyloh looked at her then picked her up and placed her on the bed. He gently pushed her back and was over her. He pinned both of her hands down as he straddled her. Eileen was a little scared as she thought to herself.
'This is it. He's going to use my body.'
The next thing Eileen knew was Nyloh had lowered his head down and kissed her. The kiss wasn't forceful it was rather gentle. Eileen blushed as she was still being kissed by Nyloh. It was her first kiss and as a concubine to Nyloh she was expecting him to be rough. After all that's what she had been told by other woman slaves that were used by their masters to have children.
The kiss broke and Nyloh lowered his head and began to kiss at her neck. He still had her hands pinned down and Eileen just laid helplessly on the bed. She didn't stop him then she looked down at him only to see that he had lifted his head to look at her.
"Is something wrong?"
Eileen looked at him.
"Why are you so gentle with me?"
He blinked.
"What do you mean?"
"Ever since I came to this manor, you treated me in such a way that I knew nothing about."
"I had hope"
She blinked.
"Hope?"
He nodded.
"I hoped that you wouldn't have been afraid of me but then I learned quickly that you were able to sense my presence so I had to wait until you fell asleep before taking you to my room."
Eileen remembered that night then Nyloh went on.
"I was really happy that you didn't try to run away and introduced me to new things like those sweets."
He noticed that something was off.
"Is something wrong, Eileen?"
"You were in rage earlier."
"Yes, but not at you."
"If you're still in rage, just take it out on me. It's alright."
Nyloh was taken back as he looked at her.
"Why would I harm you?"
"I'm your slave and your concubine. My only task is to make sure you are pleased and fulfill your desires."
Nyloh couldn't believe it. He got off Eileen and had his head down.
"Is that what how you see things in this manor?"
Eileen sat up and looked at him.
"I have been a slave all my life, I don't have any other lifestyle."
He stood up.
"This isn't what I was hoping for."
He left out of the room and went to his chambers.
Eileen was confused but she knew not to bother him.
For Nyloh he sat on the foot of his bed and tears were streaming down his face.
"This whole time, was that all she saw me as? Her master? I don't want her as a slave or anything. I want her as my lover if anything."
With that he laid on his bed and went to sleep.
AN: There is another completed chapter! What will happen next? Is Nyloh going to treat Eileen the same or is he going to treat her differently? I will update soon!
