Arthur fell silent and only mumbled, Tam sony, King

| kept looking at him, but Eros behaved as if | was not even around. He pulled his hand out of his pocket and

asked his Beta.

“You were supposed to cmeetat 8 am.

Why is it that | have to go looking for you and then find you chitchatting with my breeder.”

1 raised my eyebrows at that. Had he just calledhis with a touch of authority? But why then was he not even

looking at

me?

His behavior was confusing!

“Y-your breeder? I... | thought she was going to be your anchor Arthur began, but Eros raised his hand, cutting

him abruptly. “Enough! Stop wasting your tand focus on your work if you don’t want to be sent on a month

Eross body posture was tense, and his shoulders were rigid. A muscle in his jaw twitched at Arthur's words and

he dragged him a few feet away from me.

Despite being just the start of the day. Eros was ready in his work clothes, and | also saw a stain of ink on his

hand.

Did he already started working at the crack of dawn?

Meanwhile, | stood there wondering what the hell Arthur was blabbering about. What was an anchor and why

was | being considered that?

| recalled the way Beauty said that Eros was dying and how | was the one who could save him.

Eros also calledhis cure, so what's an anchor?

| wished to ask them more, but Eros had dragged him away from me. | looked around the dining hall and found

Apparently, the few servants who were bustling around to start their day had run away when Eros carne walking

| wished to talk to him about this but he stalked away from the open lawns with Arthur in tow, leavingstaring

at his retreating figure until he disappeared behind the walls of the mansion.

What the hell was this behavior? I couldn't make sense of it and it irritated me.

If he didn’t wantaround, he could simply askto leave. Not knowing what to do, I left the hall and walked

back to my room. | decided to take a shower to cool down as well.

After changing into fresh clothes, | stepped outside the room and wondered what to do for the rest of the day.

Glinda sawgliding down the stairs and waved atto cdownstairs. “Aren’t you hungry? Con, eat

something”

| smiled at her and replied. “Are you on a mission to make everybody eat as much as they can?”

Glinda gasped and pretended to be shocked “How did you find out?”

| giggled and still sat on the chair as she brought shot food forto have. The aroma wafting through the

air madefeel hungry, and 1 gobbled up everything that she served me.

My eyes kept drifting to the other side of the mansion, Eros’s office, to be specific. The two seemed to be still in

smeeting, but I didn’t want to go to his office again after the last incident.

Thus, | finished my food and got up from the table, and at the smoment, | saw Arthur walk out of the office.

| waited for him as he began climbing down the stairs, a worried look on his face. His shoulders were a little

slumped, and he didn’t have his usual smile.

When he reached downstairs, he gavea small smile, but it lacked his usual energy “Hey is everything

alright?” | asked and Arthur nodded his head,

Yeah

| went closer to him and asked, “Are you sure? You don’t look okay to me.”

Arthur said in a low voice, “Well, Eros was not happy that | made him wait for two hours. He had been waiting for

an important piece of information fromand | was playing around with you.”

| had to cto terms that Eros and Arthur in this life aren’t best friends. They have a work kind of relationship

now.

| furrowed my eyebrows. That is so wrong. You were trying to helpand you did say that you went to his office

twice.” But Arthur shrugged it off. “He is punctual and does not like latecomers. Ill be careful next time.”

| frowned. Poor Arthur's face looked so sad because Eros had shouted at him for nothing.

“You should really be expressive, you know. Just because he is the King doesn’t mean he can treat you like this,”

| said, and Arthur quickly looked around.

“No, it's not like that. He just seemned a little off about something Maybe all this work is stressing him. | know he

needs to really get a life.

| chuckled at that. | couldn't imagine this Eros doing anything except digging his head in the files and sitting in

his office.

And my body remindedof how his head, or rather his face had been buried elsewhere, in between my legs. |

shuddered.
