Chapter 60: Hideous
Elvenia rubbed her forehead, where her Master gave her the very kiss that breathed life into her and a new purpose, she actually thought that would be the last time she would spend with the mysterious boy she encountered in the forest, out of curiosity she has followed him just right after she emerged as a butterfly, spending the remaining of her time with him.
She found out that the boy was alone, not just at the library but in life too. She has studied other magical creatures and known them to have parents, but he was alone. She watched him, he paints, rarely speaks, reads, and studies under the caretaker of the library. But she never got a glimpse of his parents, he was without parents and that struck her to be next to him.
And it resulted in her spending a lifetime with him but she does not regret it. William taught her how to cook for she was the only being who can eat, but she found out her master cannot eat.
So when she produced results from her cooking she simply offered him some. But... he would only pat her head and say...
"It looks delicious, well done" and that was all, he never tasted her food, she wasn’t so sure he has ever and she has made it her life assignment to get him to eat something... but it never happened, but instead new acquaintances got to eat her food, which was Severus and Sophia.
She felt warmth in her heart when they happily rushed the food like it was the best thing they have ever tasted and she felt proud. She became the caretaker of the whole place too, tending to William’s needs and the others too whenever she can but strangely she couldn’t follow William to the bath as always, it was confusing for her but she has come to learn to respect his privacy, for William have taught her of etiquettes to follow.
Elvenia sighed, she wondered why she suddenly started thinking about the first time she met William after what Severus said... well maybe he was right, maybe she was jealous that the young miss was working so hard to get the master to taste her food, she has done the same thing over the centuries.
A smirk found her lips... but it was all hopeless, William never eats and it can’t change now, it was foolish to think that way but it made her feel confident. She won’t complain anymore... let the young miss keep trying whatever she thinks she can and in the end, her goal won’t be met, and at least that will get her to go back to her studies and let her kitchen be.
