  When Evan reached her room, the three ladies of the morning were already waiting for her with their tools in their hands. 

"Good afternoon, my lady!" They bowed to her respectively but Evan still stood there confused. She was still wearing the same dress and had not touched her makeup at all.

"Are you here for a touch-up? I can do so by myself!" Evan walked towards the mirror and looked at herself. A bit of eye makeup and lipstick had worn out, except that everything was perfect.

"No, my lady. We are here for your makeover again. We are hired for your makeup and dressing up for all three meals!" replied the eldest with a professional smile.

"Why would I need to dress up three times? Do you think I will tear the dress or what? And most importantly, you are too expensive! The amount you will charge is enough for me to buy a dozen new dresses!!" she poured her contents of heart out in an aggrieved tone. Did Leo want her heart to bleed?!!

If they would charge 100 gold coins three times a day for every hour, she would be a beggar in a day or two! Then what shall she eat or wear? These dresses! Could she sell them later? With that thought her hands roamed on the fine silk she was wearing. Not for praising it but for assessing its value if it would be sold in the market?

The ladies looked at her with confusion but then started laughing softly, "oh! You have such good humor my lady. No doubt that lord is so much smitten by you!" she rolled her eyes at their flattering tone. Did they think that she was a kid that would be coaxed by their flattery and spend so much gold coins again?! No! She had her brains!

"............" alright! She had brains! But she did not have strength!! She could do nothing when they forced her to sit and dressed her up again.

She could only look at them with a bitter smile and bleeding heart!

'Leo, I will make sure to beat you in front of everyone again if you are informed that my reward is in negative balance after all this!!!' she cried with no tears in her eyes when the ladies left her alone in the room.

"My lady, everyone is waiting for you to serve lunch in the dining hall!" Evan only came back to her senses when the maid on the door called her. Taking a deep sigh and regretting meeting the iceberg again, she nodded to the maid and stood up."

"You are looking beautiful, my lady!" the maid complimented her embarrassed face as she bowed down hurriedly.

"Tell me Dehlia, for you 400 gold coins are important or dressing up beautifully like me?" Evan did not know why she was even doing that! She could have just said thank you with a smile, but she wanted to know! If she was the only one with that greed behind the money or others thought like her too and only these nobles did not care about money!!

The girl's eyes widened and her face turned red and she shook her head, "even if i will spend so much. I do not think I can be beautiful like you, my lady. So, I will better keep the money.`` Evan raised a brow and then chuckled. That was one great excuse! She would use it on Leo later!

Leo! Damn! That iceberg was enjoying his date and god knows when he would return! Her face contorted and her hands clenched into a fist when she remembered how he readily accepted to go out with a girl while she was busy here with his family affairs!

Evan bowed her head and passed a smile when she reached the dining hall but her smell halted and her face froze for a minute when her eyes fell on Leo, who was sitting on the seat of the head again.

She did not know what was wrong with her but she felt that the iceberg was not only handsome but was looking pleasing to the eyes today. Had he hired the men to dress him up too.

"slap!!"

No! She slapped herself to come out of the delusion. How could he be pleasing when he was sucking her dry! He was just too overbearing and domineering!

Everyone blinked when she slapped herself. Gabriella who was about to chide her for being late again closed her mouth awkwardly without saying a word! Even Leo, who was looking down on a paper in his hands, moved his gaze away from it and looked at the girl when he heard the sound of a slap.

"What's wrong?" his face turned gloomy and the chills he was emitting could be felt from afar. 

Evan was not a fool to irk the death god when he was holding his sword. She laughed awkwardly as she wiped the imaginary sweat from her forehead.

"Nothing .. my lord! I was just punishing myself for being late! How could I make all of you wait for me!" her tone was full of flattery and smiles as she looked at leo! Spare my life or I will haunt you as a ghost!

"........." they all looked at her and then Leo but could not understand what secret conversation they were having.

"If you are done with your punishment. Will you serve the meal now or keep us waiting?" asked Gabriella, cutting them in between. It was an insult to her power that the girl did not even spare her a glance and continued to talk to Leo as if he was the only one present in the room.

"Of course, aunt, just give me a minute." even the sound of the aunt was pleasing to her ears now if she could help Evan in getting away from the scary eyes of the iceberg!

"You are not supposed to call me aunt! Yet.." 

"............."
