29. Not A Man To Me

Nick lean against the wall beside the dresser, his gaze was upon Naya as she apply makeup on Ellie's face, the way her hand moves with the brush over her face, and how she is treating Ellie so beautifully like expertise makes his baffle.

"When do you learn... have you started attending adult classes that you never informed me?" Nick blunted when his curiosity elapsed.

Naya chuckles, her lips curled immensely as she made Ellie tilt her head, "Is there anything I'm not good at twiny?"

Her eyes peeped at him with a smile.

Ellie obeys each way Naya is slanting her head, at first she did not want to trust her but peeping at Nurret who was giving her a thumb up from where she's standing makes Ellie concur and accept her.

"My Lady always instructed me on how to apply makeup to her face whenever I'm dressing for her, I think she did bring the skill from heaven," Nurret praised with smiles, her blunt reply made Ellie hummed in agreement.

Rather, Naya breathes with fulfillment, "Done!!!" She turns Ellie by the shoulders to face the mirror,

"How do you look?" She whispered into her ear.

Ellie parted her lips, unable to give a reply, Naya then turn her to Nick, "Nick, judge how she looks..." She nods, awaiting him to say something but Nick was quiet with arms folded, staring at Naya.

Naya tossed in front of Ellie when Nick did not give a reply, "Ellie, can you wink your eyes at him? Do that to him like a woman,"

However, Ellie sprouts a lively smile and winks at him as Naya said.

"Now Nick, tell me what you do feel... You feel that heat like a man?"

Ellie gasped on her palm including Nurret, "My Lady! Lady Ellie looks naturally beautiful, I can say... Omg!..."

Nurret could not contend how Lady Ellie become a beautiful Cinderella within the short moment, she gasped into her palms surprised with admirable eyes.

Ellie wink her eyes at Nurret, "Nick is right, where do you learn this skill, Naya?" She glares at Naya with a more surprising gaze, scolding her to say the truth.

However, Naya scowl her eyes weirdly over Nick while Nick tilted to stare at the ceiling as if his answer was hung on it, in annoyance with the way Nick reacted, Naya sneers in despise,

"Geez!"

"I forgot he is not yet a man... He can't know,"

"What?!!" Nick shuddered.

Naya taunts her lips with a heavy pitch, "Yes, you're not yet a man Nick if you're, you must feel something... Don't you see brother won't be able to take his eyes off from her?"

Ellie on the other hand glued to the chair on listening to Naya, could she be preparing her for something above her age? Her gaze hardened,

"Ellie! Are you making me seduce Prince?!" Without waiting for Naya to reply, she face Nurret,

"Nurret! Tell His Majesty that I've gone back to my province,"

Upon hearing her, Naya squelched, her hands resting on Ellie's laps, her voice cocky like a bassy man, "What?! After all the shows I put on you? This is rare and costly!"

"Geez!" Ellie sneered, still adamant about her gaze.

Naya rush to grab Nurret as she truly obeyed, "Don't dare to leave without my order...! Your punishment, you think I forgot?"

Nurret nods, her face witty, she turns to Ellie, "Lady Ellie, Crown Prince will be waiting, you can't keep him waiting for this long,"

As if she can't hold it, Ellie pat Nick's arm with a grumpy face, she mumbles, "Nick, will I be good?"

Likewise, Nurret drag her left hand,

"..." Nick was quiet but nods in assurance.

Naya sighed, Her hand made a fighting fist towards Ellie as Nurret lead her out.

After Ellie left, Naya started parading back and forth, her hands cling together on her nerve but smiling subsequently.

Glaring at her, Nick sits by the dresser, his chin resting on his hand, intently wondering why she is nervous and excited at the same time. After a while, her smile gradually turns into a laugh, she covers her face as if being shy.

"Tsk!" Nick sneered, his gaze hardened. What got into her after insulting him? How can she freely say he is not a man when... He breathes in his thoughts and mutters darkly to stop her,

"Do you not see me as a man?!"

Naya jab on the bed as Nick's cocky voice startled her, rather, she pretend to not hear him but was more fascinating, giggling into her palms as if she can't contend the laughs.

Her absurd reaction irritates Nick the more, does he have to behave rudely to make her senses calm? How can she laugh hilariously after humiliating him huh? In his disgust, Nick threw a makeup brush at her...

It hit on her forehead.

"Ouch!" She glances on the floor to see what just hit her, her gaze returns to Nick when she finds none,

Instead, Nick sneers in despise, "Do you not see me as a man?!" He repeated.

"Geez!" She rubs on her forehead,

"What's the face for? As if you've always been like a man! I don't think I can ever see you like one!"

"Now you interrupted how I'm picturing Brother's reaction when he sees Ellie..." She smirked.

After her blabbing, she blinks twice at Nick with a fascinating smile, "Should we go and find out?"

Nick rolled his eyes up, right now, Naya just nailed his heart to cause grievous bleeding that is only known to him, his eyes landed on her with a slight groan.

Naya paused to see his eyes suddenly turn milky, 'Has she said anything wrong to have provoked him?'

"You know Nick I should be the one to be annoyed, right now, you've provoked me twice... One! You did not reply to my question, secondly, you interrupted what I was fascinating."

"Yet, I'm cooled," she spurts out, unable to look at him.

Nick blinks dryly and stood up, this, Naya traced him, is astonishing.

"Nick! I only said you're not a man to me but that does not mean you are not a man to other Ladies," She whispered.

Nick paused on his track, his head nods twice as he feels some goosebumps rather, he whisper, "What if..."

His voice knot, he swallowed it and left.

Naya frowned, "What if...what!" She screams louder but Nick fling the door close,

As she's sitting, she dives backward to lay on the bed,

Why was he acting weird? Not as if what she said was a lie.

She couldn't see him as a man and that's what she feels,

Or can she?
