Argus tried to calm himself down as he can't find where Perseus was. If the king found out that he lost the crown prince, he gonna be so dead.

"Please, god, don't let anything happen to young master or the king gonna kill me."Said Argus as he walk outside one of the herbal store.

After almost half an hour, he finally spot found where his young master was. He let out a sigh of relieved before he heading to the popular restaurant.

He quickly heading to the second floor, but he stop almost immediately after he saw a petite,short young man sit in front of Perseus. He frown but hide his displease with a small smile.

"Young master."greet Argus.

He pay no attention towards Eta.Perseus nodded his head before he turn his face to Eta who look so focus on the dishes.

"Have you finish your lunch or are you still wanna stuff that small stomach of yours?" Asked Perseus with a hint of annoy in his voice.

Eta quickly raises his head to look at Perseus's cold eyes. He reluctantly put his spoon on the table before he lover his head.

"I...I'm full now. I'm sorry for all the troubles that I has made."

Eta's gaze fall onto the dishes on the table.He unconsciously rub his stomach as he still hungry. Perseus Sighed softly before he turn his face toward Argus.

"Go take a rest first. I'm gonna wait for this man to finish his lunch and after that we'll meet at the Magic's Herbs store.

"Are you sure,young master? I could just sit on the other table until you're done."

"I know how to take care of myself. " said Perseus.

Argus quickly nodded his head before he walk away. He almost run away when he saw the harsh look Perseus gave.

After Argus gone,Perseus turn his face towards Eta who keep fidgeting his hand.

"Eat. If you can't finish all of this, you will have to pay all of this,today!"

Eta stuff his mouth as fast as he can. He doesn't even afford a small plain bun let alone this expensive lunch. Perseus smile a bit after he saw Eta keep on stuffing his mouth with food. That sight is so cute for him not smile at.

He can't believe that this small,delicate young man got treated like a dog by other people. He admit that he was fascinated by Eta's beauty,especially his golden eyes that could illuminate the whole world.

He quickly shake his head. After ten minutes, all the food on the table has gone. Eta smile widely at Perseus.

"Thank you again sir for all of this. I never be this full before and all the dishes are so delicious." said Eta.

Perseus hummed before he stand up. He look at the confuse Eta.

"I want you to come with me. We're going to your place whether you like or not."

Eta look so scare. He keep shaking his head and fisting his white chiton.

"But...but"

"If you still want to enjoy your life in this world, you better follow me now. I'm not hesitate to make your life more difficult and worse than you are now."

Eta lower his head and stared at his feet. His eyes keep blinking away the tear that threatening to fall anytime. Slowly, he rise from the chair.

"Good. It's not that hard to do what I asked you to do,right? Perseus grab Eta's small hand and pull the young man so that he can walk side-by-side with him.

They head towards the herbs store that's located just across the restaurant. Perseus tightening his grip on Eta's hand as he saw Argus and a few of his men look at him and Eta with wide eyes. Argus and the others quickly turn their face to other place after they saw Perseus's murderous glare.
