Eliminating the servants was no big deal for Eliza; those sons of bitches were very relaxed in their well-cleaned and organized rooms, so it was easy to take care of them all.
There were three guards and five maids assigned to guard the loot, which they didn't do, and I'm sure they only left their rooms when they were hungry.
The problem was moving the bodies, especially with the body of a child. It was very difficult to move those heavy bodies. But with a lot of effort, she managed to throw all the bodies into a pit at the back of the house.
By the time she finished, it was already nightfall, and Eliza was exhausted and hungry. She headed to the kitchen to prepare something to eat for herself and Christopher with what little she found there.
After taking a bath and changing into clean clothes, Eliza returned to the kitchen and took a cart to serve the meals. She planned on eating with Christopher.
Humming to herself, she headed to Christopher's room. She didn't know where it was, so she had to search for it for a while until she found his room. It was nothing more than a damp basement filled with dust, not even a layer.
"These bastards, I should have tortured them more. How can they have a child living in these conditions?!! I already knew, but I didn't expect it to be so inhumane!!"
And there, sitting on the cold floor, Christopher was in front of a small window that let in the moonlight, the only thing illuminating the room.
"What are you doing here?" the boy asked, turning towards Eliza. Although he couldn't see her, he could recognize her by her scent.
"I brought dinner. Let's eat together," Eliza said with a smile, approaching with the cart.
The boy smelled the food and swallowed, but his pride wouldn't allow him to accept anything from this stranger.
"Go away, I'm not hungry," Christopher said indifferently. But to Eliza, he only looked even cuter pretending not to be hungry.
"Why are you so cute?" Eliza asked, approaching with the cart and proceeding to place the plates of food on the floor in front of the boy, completely ignoring his words.
"Do you think I'm going to eat th-" Christopher's words were interrupted by Eliza, who took the opportunity to spoon-feed him some mashed potatoes.
"Eat, it's delicious," she said.
The boy was surprised but ended up eating everything without a chance to spit it out.
"You're crazy!! I knew it, you just want to kill me!!" the boy screamed, stepping back and trying to spit out what he had swallowed.
"Hahaha, how funny. You know very well it's not poisoned. I know you can recognize smells well, and you know that this is just normal food without any strange substances," Eliza said, taking a spoonful to her mouth from her plate.
"Come on! It's delicious, and I'm sure you haven't eaten anything decent in days, right?"
"I already told you, I don't want anything!" the boy shouted, moving further away.
"Okay, I'm hungry, so I'll eat it all!" Eliza said with a smile and continued eating, savoring the food as if she were eating the most delicious delicacies.
Christopher listened to her enjoying herself and, smelling the delicious food, saliva filled his mouth. He clenched his stomach, which twisted with hunger, but he couldn't give in to the temptation.
"I can't! I have to resist!"
Eliza tried to contain her laughter at the sight of Christopher's gestures, convincing herself that he didn't want any when he was dying of hunger.
Eliza continued eating and savoring, taunting the boy.
"Phew, my plate was delicious, but I want more! Since my cute fiance doesn't want it, I'm going to eat his portion. It's a shame because his portion was bigger!" Eliza pretended to be sad.
"Hey..." Christopher hesitated.
"Alright, I'll give you the first spoonful," Eliza said.
"Hey..."
"Mmm, it's delicious!"
"Hey, you said that was my food!!" the boy shouted, approaching and sitting in front of Eliza.
"Give it to me! I'm going to eat!" the boy ordered angrily.
"Hahaha, you fell for it," Eliza celebrated in her thoughts.
"Alright, since my hungry fiance wants it so much, I'll feed him... say 'ahhh.'"
The boy crosses his arms and indignantly opens his mouth to receive the spoonful of food.
"Don't think I trust you already, I still want you to leave. I only let you feed me because I pity you," the boy says after swallowing his food.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever my lovely fiance says," Eliza says, giving him another spoonful.
"God! My beautiful villain is so cute..."
Eliza smiles tenderly as she continues to feed Christopher. She will definitely protect him and make him smile that lovely smile he should have.
"It's delicious.." Christopher thinks, chewing the shirt in his mouth.
In that dirty and damp room, a lovely scene unfolds: a beautiful girl with golden hair and blue eyes feeding a boy with jet-black hair and blindfolded eyes, both sitting on the cold floor illuminated by the faint moonlight filtering through the window.
After finishing the meal, Eliza picked up the plates and put them on the cart.
"Let's go to your new room, you can't stay here anymore," Eliza says, surprising the boy.
"New room?" he asks, not understanding.
"Yes, from now on you'll stay in the best room and sleep as you deserve!" Eliza says excitedly.
"And the servants? If I leave this room, they will beat me like they always do," the boy says, lowering his head and clenching his fists in frustration. He wishes he had the strength to give those bastards back all the abuse and mistreatment they've put him through since his parents' death.
"Oh, don't worry, I already killed them all," Eliza says casually.
"Huh?" the boy asks, shocked.
"Yeah, didn't I tell you? I'll take care of you from now on and I'll kill anyone who hurts you," Eliza says with a smile, caressing the boy's face, who unknowingly blushes.
"You're crazy," the boy whispers.
"They say that a lot!" Eliza laughs and takes the boy's hand to leave the room.
"From now on, everything will be different, and I'll protect you," Eliza says as she leads him through the hallways.
The boy simply follows her in silence, not knowing what to say. He's supposed to reject her and let go, but for some reason...
"It's warm..." Christopher thinks, wondering how long it's been since he felt this way...
Maybe this time... just a little more...
"Stay with me..."
