Her face was red as if she lacked oxygen and her breathing was uneven. The last comment her fiancé had said still lingeredinher head. She turned away from him trying to get her emotions under control but without success. After she was sure she could manage at least to not cry, she turned to him and her eyes narrowed into a glare. "What?" she asked trying not to launch herself at him and make him take back what he had said.
"I said if you will cancel our wedding…I mean….It's just that… I don't love you, I love someone else…. And you see I'm positive she loves me too… but I cannot be with her if you don't set me free…" she stared at him wide eyed not believing her ears. "Please tell me that the woman you love isn't that servant of yours…" She whispered looking down. He nodded and lifted her chin up to meet her eyes. "Please…" He whispered but she pulled away. "How can you love her…." She whispered to him and before she knew it, she slapped him across the face leaving a hand shaped mark on his right cheek. The sound of flesh against flesh still lingered in the room after several seconds of intense silence. Daisy held her hand over her mouth preventing her from gasping out of horror while tears swelled up in her eyes. Artemis' face was positioned in an awkward way as if his head was cocked while his wide eyes stilled for several seconds not providing information as in to what he was thinking.
Daisy rose to her feet and swallowed hard as tears began to fall down her face and stalked toward the door. She placed her hand over the handle and before she turned it and left the room she said "I'll think about it…" With that she slammed the door closed leaving a stunned Artemis still in that awkward position.
Holly glanced at the watch she had bought for herself the previous day and read 7:30 It was time for dinner. With a sigh she turned and left the room. She arrived at the kitchen to find Juliet with a tray in her hands. "Here, I'll take it" Holly said taking the tray from her. "Are you sure?" Juliet asked and Holly nodded heading for the dinning room.
Before entering she placed the tray in a near-by table and smoothed out the wrinkles from her servant's uniform making sure that the v-cut neck exposed enough of her bosom to attract Artemis' attention. The white and black garment fitted her perfectly adjusting to her body like a second skin showing off her curves while it showed off her slim legs. Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail with a lock of hair tumbling down her forehead. Taking a deep breath she took hold of the tray and opened the door. Ahead of her Artemis sat waiting for his meal to arrive but there was no Daisy in sight. His right cheek was bright red as if it had been slapped. After she entered he had looked up and now she noticed he was looking at her up and down examining her. She swallowed and walked toward him making sure to move her hips gently after each step allowing him to take his time to finish examining her. Finally she reached him and she set down the tray of food before him and waited by his side to be dismissed like a good servant. Wait… since when am I a servant? I can leave! Damn! I'm so stupid! She mentally slapped herself for not remembering that and was about to walk away when she noticed he was struggling with himself to avoid any contact with her. She smiled and took the opportunity. "Would you like some tea before your meal sir? Or will you wait for Lady Daisy?" She asked with a charming smile. He stared at her as she bent forward to take his cup and his eyes widen at the sight of her bosom. Artemis' face turned into a deep shade of red as he looked away making her pout. "What happened to your cheek?" She asked forgetting about the tea and instead forced him to look at her. Her hand was resting on his right cheek making him flinch. She pulled back her hand as pain registered across his face.
"Daisy slapped me…" He said touching his cheek as well. "She slapped you?...why?" Holly asked and now completely twisted him around his seat to face her. Now that he had her in front of him, he noticed that since he was sitting down he had her chest to eye level. "She slapped me because I told her I didn't want to get married…" He whispered looking down. Holly frowned and took hold of his head in her arms pressing it against her chest. "Aww my poor Artemis…" She whispered caressing his hair. Artemis blushed but didn't attempt to move away. Just then the door to the dinning room opened and Daisy walked in expressionless. "Artemis" She said attracting both Artemis' and Holly's attention. She stared at them and sat opposite Artemis. Artemis swallowed but didn't move as did Holly. She simply glared at Daisy but did not let go of him. "I've thought about it… and I think I will set you free to be with this…" She looked Holly up and down with disinterest and continued. "Holly…" She said at last with a hint of annoyance. Artemis smiled and Holly let go. "What is she talking about?" Holly asked. "I will tell my father that I've found another lover and that I want to marry him, later on I will tell him that he and I have broken up and will never be together. You come out of my life as I do yours and that's that. Tomorrow morning I will depart to my home. Have a good evening" and with that she stood and left the room. Holly turned to Artemis who now was standing up and stared at him puzzled. "She set you free…" She whispered making him nod. Artemis took her in his arms and kissed her lips gently. "we can be together at last…" He whispered. "Yes… together… forever…" She whispered back although she was thinking the opposite. At last…Shikon No Tama will fall into my hands…
