Chapter 10: Increased loyalty and Task

"Young Master, I have prepared a bathrobe and a change of clothes for you. I will also clean your dirty clothes later. While taking the bath, please allow me to scrub your back." Luna saw his flushed face and didn't know why she felt like teasing him.

Easton felt that the situation was truly exciting. The people in this world are so straightforward with the opposite sex. Or is this how maids do their job?

Easton did not know but he is tempted to take a bath with beautiful Luna just thinking about this makes him excited. 

Seeing that Easton was not saying anything but his eyes were a little lost. Luna moved forward and arrived behind him her eyes were filled with resolution as she pressed her body against Easton. Then she moved her upper body slightly creating friction between the bathrobe and his skin.

Hiss! 

Easton felt the world spinning as blood rushed toward his head. Little Easton also became active trying to remove the curtain.

He smelled a delicate fragrance and in the next moment, his body was pressed with those soft E Cup objects. Furthermore, she was only wrapped in a towel, and her voluptuous body was visible; he can feel two tiny beads brushing past his back. 

Luna did not press her body again like before. Seeing Easton standing stiff, Luna smiled and pressed her lips near his eyes and said," Young master, This is how I will scrub your back! So are you interested?" 

Easton felt a hot breath in his ear and shivered. He just wanted to nod and say 'Yes please continue' 

But out of cautiousness, he used Eyes Of truth on Luna once again and his heart cocked as a result 

The loyalty has decreased; it's 30 now!

Why is this? Easton thought to himself as a result a thought came into his mind.

'She is testing me

She is testing my character to see whether I am a person who only thinks with his lower body…

It's a beauty trap! She is deliberately seducing me to test me.

So close! This woman is dangerous. She is going this far just to test my character. How much determination is needed for a Gold Rank Warrior to put down her dignity just to see others' character?

They should be in a dangerous situation therefore they cannot trust others easily.  Easton thought to himself as he admired her courage and determination.

He looked at her and his face froze because the loyalty had dropped once again. 29!

He was in a hurry so he turned around and looked at her seriously. Seeing him, Luna smiled and chuckled, "Young master, have you decided?" 

She looked at him with a serious gaze as his next word will determine his evaluation. 

"Yes," Easton said as he moved forward. 

'As expected' Luna thought to herself as she moved backwards. No men are a good thing they place lust above everything else. Now I will have no reluctance while escaping. Her thoughts were clear but strangely there was a hint of disappointment in her heart.

'I thought that he was different from others but…' This is her current thought as she saw him moving toward her without stopping. She retreated and did not get close to him. 

'That's all! For the sake that you helped us previously, I will just knock you put' Luna thought to herself as she was ready to make a move.

While retreating she has already arrived at the door and now she has nowhere to retreat. She looked at Easton who was moving toward her with indifference as this person will have nothing to do with her from now on.

Easton arrived near her as he placed his hand on the door above her shoulder and looked at her with a piercing gaze.

Luna looked at him and said charmingly, "Young master are you ready?" 

She didn't know why but she wants to hear a no for an answer.

"Yes." Hearing him she was even more disappointed as she was ready to make a move and knock him out.

Click! 

Bam!

The next second her face was dumbfounded. Why did he do this?

At this moment she was standing near the door of the bathroom. Easton drove her out of the bathroom without saying anything.

"Sorry but you are not my type!" Just as she was feeling dumbfounded she heard this sentence coming from the bathroom causing her face to freeze!

Did he reject me? 

This thought appeared in her mind as her brain was in chaos. She stood there like this for one minute then she chuckled and mumbled to herself, "So is this how you escape from the embarrassing situation? Hmph, you are the first one to reject this lady."

There was some anger in her heart because of the rejection except for that she was strange.

...relieved? Relieved and happy that he is not like others? 

Her emotions are complicated because of Mark of Love but all in all her heart is satisfied.

'I didn't misjudge you' This is her thought as her impression of him increased. If Easton were to see her loyalty he would be shocked because it's rising quickly.

27, 28, 28, 30… 38, 39, 40. It stopped at 40! Even some best friends only have this loyalty, of course, it's not absolute it depends from person to person. 

Just a little more and she will have 60 loyal friends than she would have some strange feelings for him.

Luna with a bathrobe around her moved toward the ground floor. Below she saw Zelda waiting for her. 

Seeing her, Zelda asked nervously, "So how is it, big sister?"

"Hmm, he resisted the temptation." Luna was in a good mood so she said it with a smile 

"See! I told you he is a good person!" Zelda happily as she felt that her evaluation is correct.

"It's too early to be happy. We have to test a few more times. Who knows maybe I am not his type!? So you will try next time" While saying this Luna felt anger in her heart. She was rejected. 

"Big sis, are you serious?" Zelda opened her eyes wide as she looked at Luna with incredulous eyes. 

"Don't worry I will teach you some tricks." Luna smiled mysteriously as she whispered something in her ears.

While listening to Luna, Zelda's face was bright red. There was only one question in her mind.

'Do I have to do this?'

...

Inside the bath.

Easton was lying in the small bathtub enjoying the bath. The picture of Luna kept appearing in his mind causing him to grit his teeth in anger.

"Damn it because of her I have so much pent up frustration. Hmph tease me like this I will pay you back sooner or later." He mumbled to himself as a smile grew on his face. 

Then he raised his right hand and said, "Brother it's time to work." 

He applied shampoo to his hand and started to do a serious job.

What job? Of course, it's scrubbing and washing his body!

….

After bath Easton arrived at the dining room he saw Luna and Zelda waiting for him. On the table, there are many dishes. Vegetables, Soft bread, meat…

Seeing so many varieties of food Easton gulped. He has been eating hard bread and soup for the past six years to save money. Now he finally has the opportunity to eat delicious food.

He did not rush to eat but used `Eyes of truth' and checked their loyalty. He was surprised and delighted to find that their loyalty has increased.

Luna has 40 Loyalty and Zelda has 43 Loyalty. You should know that they knew each other just this morning and now they have such a high loyalty in a short time.

Which cannot be achieved by anyone. It happened due to the Skill 'Mark of Love'.

He has to maintain the momentum and raise their Loyalty to 80. He needs 80 loyalty before he can be at ease.

"Don't just stand there, come on and eat." Easton looked at Luna and Zelda who were standing and said. He never liked others to be hungry while he was hungry. It's another custom of nobles. 

Hearing him, Zelda hesitated but Luna directly sat down and started eating. Easton knows that she has a straightforward personality while Zelda is a shy type of lady. 

"Don't hesitate! Come and eat." Easton said to Zelda. After seeing that she sat down he looked at his share and gulped.

He started eating with gusto. He looked like a refugee who is hungry for a long time. That's how Zelda and Luna felt.

Just as he was drinking the soup his action froze as he looked at Luna with confusion.

"Something?" Luna said while looking at Easton. Easton shook his head and continued eating.

Just now he felt that his legs were being touched by someone's leg. That leg drew a line on his thigh. It's a tease! 

Thinking of this he looked at Luna because of what she had done in the bathroom. Only she can do something like this but seeing gets indifferent face he did not continue.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Zelda and his mouth twitched. At this moment her ears and face are as red as she is peeking at him sneakily.

Seeing him looking at her the girl's eyes became dodgy as she buried her face to eat. 

'So it's her' 

Is this also a test? If so then can you tell me how to pass? Because I don't know how to do it.

Feeling dangerous he hurriedly ate his food and ran back to the house.

But he is bound to have a sleepless night for a few days. As both of the girls tested with various methods.

Sometimes they sleep on his bed in a weird position, Sometimes they 'accidentally' fall on him.

They pulled various stunts to test him but they didn't realise that from testing they had started to tease him for fun. Especially, Luna, she would never miss out on the chance to tease him; she would always give him a surprise by entering the bath while he was bathing...

They have not noticed that their original vigilance is now completely gone as they have started to treat him as a friend.

And with his cooperation and with the help of the spell their loyalty has risen steadily.

Loyalty: 52(Luna)

Loyalty: 58(Zelda)

Now Five days have passed since he has received a new task. Now it's time to complete it.

He will not do it alone as he has two helpers; Luna the fighter and Zelda a spell caster.
