Chapter 43 43 Childlike

"Master, are you angry?" Luna asked without looking up from his chest as if she was too ashamed to face him.

"No, I am not." Zach replied nonchalantly.

Luna felt better and finally exhaled the breath that she had been holding in fear that Zach might be angry with her for doing such a thing. She raised her head and looked at Zach was looking at her tenderly.

When their eyes met, Zach asked her, "Were you hungry?"

"Hmm" nodded Luna vigorously as she tried to justify her actions.

"Don't hold back and eat once you need to eat, all right? Otherwise I will feel bad for starving my only partner." Zach encouraged her to tell him whenever she was feeling hungry. The least he could do for her unending loyalty to him was feed her after all.

"Then I am going to wake you up in this way every single day. This is going to be our morning routine so I can have my breakfast in time too." Luna's bell like laughter was contagious as even Zach couldn't keep himself from smiling as he felt that he had brought home a hungry little devil.

Zach pulled her close to his face and enclosed her in a bear hug by wrapping his arms around her tiny waist. Kissing her fiercely on the mouth, Zach played with her tongue for a while before letting her go so she could breathe a little.

Luna felt bliss enter from every pore of her body. Her master treated her so well that she didn't want to leave his embrace ever. This was the kind of life that she had always dreamed of living but had she not met Zach, she could never have found similar happiness.

She was living her life as a succubus fully. She could eat her fill on a daily basis without having to hurt another person. Moreover, she could fulfill her sexual desires and cravings with the person she loved most in the world. Her master not only fed her but also loved her in the gentlest manner possible.

Zach ate his breakfast in his room. The luxurious breakfast under Luna's supervision made one thing clear to him; that it wasn't for nothing that the Luther family had once been called an elite family of the Elizabeth city.

Luna proved to be a more faithful and devoted servant than he could have ever expected. She barely left his side as she tried to observe and understand his eating habits as a human.

Since the beginning of their arrival at Luther family's estate, Luna had been taking care of almost everything regarding Zach. She observed and put to memory the sort of food Zach liked to consume and put all his meals through strict scrutiny to ensure only the things he preferred reached his meal table.

For a human like Zach, the dishes on the table and the quantity were both too much to eat in one sitting.

The breakfast was so lavish that Zach's jaw almost hit the ground when he saw the table arranged by Luna for him. The dishes piled up on top of it and were practically spilling from the sides of the table. If not for the ingenious arrangement of the dishes that manipulated the centre of the gravity of the plates towards the centre of the table, the whole arrangement would have dropped off the table a long time ago.

"Is this the life of the rich? What kind of pathetic life have I been living so far?" Zach thought in his heart as he noticed how meticulous Luna could be when she wanted to. The arrangement and the thoughtfulness of the person who set the table were evident from the care with which each dish had been selected. There wasn't a single thing Zach didn't like among the table full of cuisines.

Zach didn't want to disappoint Luna's expectant look but his appetite was nothing compared to the plethora of dishes waiting for him to partake in them.

He did his best to take a bit of everything that Luna continued to put in his plate as she nudged him to try one after the other. Zach could do nothing but comply with her request since she had put in so much effort after getting up early in the morning.

Even though Zach ate until his belly felt bloated and the level of undigested food in his body started to rise in defiance until it eventually clogged the food intake completely. Zach felt the urge to vomit consistently but he forcefully held everything in because he knew how sensitive Luna could be when it came to his well being. She would probably have blamed herself for causing him harm.

Even after Zach had suffered through such an ordeal, Luna still looked slightly unhappy since there were dishes on the table that Zach had refused to touch even briefly.

Meanwhile Zach's mind that wasn't busy sending signals of pain throughout his belly and his esophagus was preoccupied with thoughts of finding a way to deal with the Sosis family that was one of the overlords in the Elizabeth city.

Given the circumstances, Zach was sure he needed to fully comprehend the customs of family engagements if he wanted to find a way out before the Sosis family decided to make their move.

For that reason, Zack needed to talk to Bruce so they could hold a planning session to come up with a strategy that was viable enough to deal with the Sosis family in one fell swoop.

With that thought clouding his logic circuits, Zach jerked up to his feet and walked towards the door in large strides.

Leaving his room in a hurry, Zach rushed towards the end of the mansion that Bruce had taken for his residence. But when he came out into the hallway while completely lost in thought; he suddenly remembered the labyrinthine network of corridors that connected the entire mansion.

There was no way he could remember every single pathway when he had only gone through them once. Had it not been for the servant who had come to fetch them yesterday, Zach and Luna would have still been looking for the dining room.

"I am such an idiot. How could I forget such an important thing?" Zach wanted to slap himself in the face for what he had almost jumped into.

"Those maids…I need to look for them if I want to find my way in this place. How troublesome…" Zach reached a conclusion in his mind.

His luck could have taken another wrong turn but thankfully he wasn't cursed by the goddess of luck as it had seemed earlier. He soon found a maid who was busy dusting the candelabras fixed into the walls of the corridors at various intervals.

Zach asked her to guide him to Bruce's room. She became his guide and led him through the elusive pathways.

His mind was still concentrated with the thoughts about the Sosis family as he mindlessly followed after the maid with the intention to discuss these budding thoughts with Bruce.

As they turned into the corridor that passed through Bruce's room they were suddenly jumped by Diana who intercepted them midway.

Zach was slightly shocked but he didn't show it on his face and acted as cool as possible to hide the shame of how his heart had almost jumped into his throat at her ambush.

Diana's gaze was somewhat different from what he was used to. It was cowering like it had lost the confidence and the grace that was characteristic with Diana. The usual Diana was a bold and confident woman and Zach had never seen her lower her eyes in front of anyone; not even her brother.

This unusual gesture increased the childlike aura of innocence around her which was usually pushed into the shadow by her confident gait and her overbearing familial status.

Zach noticed unexpected gloominess on her face which should have departed after she made it back to her room following the life threatening situations that she had been in.

"May I have a moment of your time?" Diana asked very politely.

Her lowered voice like that of a siren when combined with her unmatched beauty could have compelled anyone to pay attention to her. Zach wasn't an exception either. Despite being exposed to Luna's unadulterated charm on a daily basis, he was still brought of his thoughts by the musical voice that asked his permission before mesmerizing him.
