It was already over a month after the big fight against Virtue of Charity and Wrath Samurai. 

After the story of the battle discovered by information seekers, the story being told to all the Floor. Even reached Floor 1 and 3. 

[The Greedy Young Master defeated the Wrath Samurai and the Virtue of Charity]

Everyone did not tire to always talking about the topic until now.

[The Greedy Young Master really wants to dominate Abyssal Terra. But, if he has defeated the two living monster of Floor 2, maybe he is not a bad guy.]

People's thoughts about him changed. 

His figure was still invisible after that battle. That being said, he is still in a long rest after fighting so fiercely. 

The location where they fought, in the middle of the Mild Yellow Desert, changed and became a new territory, Mild Green Hill.

Abyssal Terra / Floor 2 

Northwest Region / Mild Green Hill

Authority: Greedy Dragon family

___________

Greedy Dragon family arrived at the scene a few days after and possess everything under their master's name.

They built a large outpost in front of the North Coast Palace. It was their first step to dominate the northwest region.

Meanwhile, in the palace's dining room, the master of Greedy Dragon family was having breakfast with his three women.

"Hey, really, what's wrong with you two?"

Arlene and her three companions are having breakfast together. However, the two young couple that spent the night together yesterday were emitting bad aura. 

The girl is frowning while eating, which is unsightly because it was a bad manner. The young man eating silently, peacefully, which is making it scary to see.

Well, maybe because they are still eating so they don't want to talk about it. 

"Alright. Maybe it's not the right time to talk about it."

So Arlene waited after they finished eating. She begins to eat with drink water first. 

"He dumped me."

"Pfffffffffttt-, uhuk! Uhuk!"

Arlene sprayed her water on Skadi because of Elisa's sudden confession.

That one sentence might cause long, complicated conversation. 

In order to avoid that, Ars finished and walk out from the dining room. 

Just like before, Skadi just eating silently like a shadow. 

Elisa stops eating. Her heart is in very bad condition to be working with. 

"Let's finish our breakfast first, okay? After that I will listen to you."

The dining room and at breakfast are not the best times to discuss a problem.

"I can't believe it!"

So Arlene took Elisa out of the garden for a talk after the breakfast. 

"After all I've done. He, he just..."

Arlene never sees Elisa be that angry. The girl even using shorthand words, which is she never does.

"Okay, now. I can't understand the problem if I don't know the context. So, can you tell me where this problem started?"

Of course the problem started the last night.

~~~~

Elisa done confessing her feeling. Those were words she never thought she would use.

But now, in front of her beloved one, she said the beautiful magic words sincerely. 

After that, she closed her eyes while facing the beloved ones. She gives all of hers to the beloved one. She will accept and do anything if the beloved one asked to.

However, all she gets was just a forehead kiss and:

"-wait."

~~~

"After that he gets outta the room and didn't come back!"

What an unexpected story.

That story sure makes Arlene wanted to laugh. But she would hurt Elisa's feeling if she did. 

So she holds her intention. Then respond to Elisa. 

"From what you said, Ars didn't just said 'wait'. Maybe that 'wait' has another meaning."

"But what?! Didn't he say that to tell me to wait for him to come back? So we can..."

Yeah-yeah. Arlene could tell what Elisa meant without she finished her words.

With just that simple expression, Arlene could tell the whole story and what she had to do.

"But, I didn't expect you to have such fantasy, Elisa."

Elisa is an innocent young woman. Throughout the journey they had been on together, Elisa showed no interest in adult stuffs. She is still a young woman, after all. 

"Isn't that natural, for a couple to do stuff like that?"

Elisa's face burning in red, blushing. She just like a bird still afraid to learn to fly. 

"In the novel 'Golden Eyes and the Swordsman', Golden Eyes is only a weak girl who can see the man she loves from behind."

Elisa starts storytelling about a certain novel. Arlene knows the story behind the novel because she was there when the event happened. 

"Not giving up on her love, the Golden Eyes keeps trying to chase her love. Until finally the man she loves realizing her efforts and they start an adventure together as a couple."

The story indeed is very similar with Elisa's story love. So Elisa has a fantasy that her story will end like the novel 'The Golden Eyes and The Swordsman'.

"But, Frida's husband can't be compared with that greedy guy."

Arlene muttered that as she walks towards Ars' room. 

On her way, she ran into Miss Priest from Lian's party.

"Hey, Sara."

"Good afternoon, Miss Arlene."

The young lady brought a bucket filled with water.

"Is that for Lian?" asked Arlene, guessing.

"Yes. All his wounds are closed. So I want to give him a bath now."

What a pure girl with pure intention. Without realizing it, Sara and Lian love story is the same as the Golden Eyes and the Swordsman.

A story of a quiet, innocence girl trying to pursue her love to a bright, strong swordsman. 

"Compared to Elisa and Ars."

Arlene astonished. Made the young miss in front of her popped up a '?' on her head. 

The two of them continued walking until they parted ways at an intersection.

Even though he only woke up one day, Ars had already done a lot of work and determined where his office is.

That is located on the third floor, the central chamber of the palace facing the front of the courtyard.

That is Arlene's first time to the room. Even though that should be a workspace. But there is no impression of busyness from within. 

"Ars, I'm coming in."

Arlene opened the door. Just like she expected, there is no activity inside, not even people.

"Is he gone somewhere?"

"State your business."

"Wha!"

Arlene got shocked when suddenly there was a voice coming from the edge of the room. 

"Why you!?"

Arlene just wanted to scold Ars for hiding the aura of his existence. Until she found that Ars is relaxing by resting on Skadi's chest. 

"What are you doing?!"

That for Skadi. 

"I have been owned."

"What-!?"

Actually, Ars is not just relaxing. He relaxes by reading the report on the tablet. But with resting on Skadi's chest.

"Wait, let me get this straight first."

Arlene is an adult. She did not want to be that easy to angry. So she analyzes the situation first. 

"Ars, you know that Elisa loves you, right?"

"Yeah."

"So, why you make Victoria to...?"

Arlene did not want to finish her sentence. Ars should have known what to answer. 

"No one can tie me." 

No one can tie him. Just that. No further answer. 

In that case, Arlene had to figure out the meaning of the sentence herself.

He said: 'no one can tie me.'

That means no one can tie him. If connected with Elisa's problem, the context is a matter of heart and soul. 

That means what Ars means is that he doesn't want a woman to tie him up. But he can tie any woman he wants.

"Don't get surprised. You three are not the only one I own."

"Wait, you mean you have lots of other women out there?!"

Well, Ars is a Sin of Greed. Come to think of it, that is actually natural, for he has so many women. He is super rich and strong after all. 

"Then, your answer to Elisa's confession?"

"I said 'I will wait'."

I will wait? But Elisa told Ars, said '..wait.'. 

Wait a minute. Elisa is not old enough. She is still in her teen. If Ars said he will wait. Then what he means by that is he will wait for Elisa to get old enough. 

That was why he left Elisa on yesterday's night. 

"Figured out something?" asked Skadi. 

Arlene covered her forehead with her hand. Got a headache suddenly. 

"Why?" asked Arlene back. 

"Why?"

"Why you offered yourself that easily?"

"He holds Silver Sky Staff. In order to get that back, I have to be his woman."

Arlene's headache got worse on Skadi's confession 

"You are the worst."

That was for Ars, of course. 

Closing his tablet, Ars got up and walked outside. 

"Isn't that what meant to be a sovereign? You should be grateful because I am handsome and fateful."

"Then what about Elisa?"

"You've got the answer, right? Then tell that to her."

Ars opened the door's room, about to head somewhere. But before that. 

"Tonight, come to my room, you two. So make sure to get yourself clean before that."

After that last order, Ars walked out. Leaving Arlene on painful headache and guilty. 

"I'm sorry, Eliz."

"You get used to it."
