Who Is Ester Winch?

Çhapter 51

Ester POV.

This symbol why does I have a lingering feeling towards it.

“What are you going to do from here?” asked the boy.

I have to find the other member of Ester’s pack while I do that I have to find a place to stay in case it took me longer to find him.

“I’ll look for a place to stay here.”

“Then, we will bid our goodbyes here.” He extended his hand for me to shake and I accept it.

“It was nice meeting you.”

“15 blocks from here you will see an inn, it’s safe there and good people.” He lets go and walks away but he turns back said, “I hope we see each other again.”

He must grown attach to me for just walking half a day, “Likewise.” I answered.

He’s a distance away from me when I saw people were looking at him.

Is there something wrong?

They are gossiping with one another and giving him a look but the boy didn’t pay them attention and walks in head high.

I ignore it, maybe it’s because he is wearing a mask.

I did what he told me, I walk for 15 blocks looking for an inn.

I look around looking for aa signage and then finally I saw one it says, “In’n” this must be it.

I entered and approach the reception. She is wearing sexy cloth and is quite revealing.

Her cleavage is about to burst out.

“Finally, you are here!”

What?

She pulled my hand and lead me to a room.

“Huh?”

She left the room and I was left standing in the center of the room.

I’m a bit confused about what is happening.

Why did she bring me here?

She’s back and in her hand is a piece of cloth.

She undresses me, “What are you doing?!” I quickly covered myself.

“We are out of time! Miss Luna will be here soon if I don’t dress you up quickly or else we will be in great danger!”

Danger!? What kind of inn did I just enter? That boy lied to me that the people here are good!

I couldn’t fight her back even though we are not equal in strength and I am stronger than her. I don’t want to cause trouble until my job is done.

I let her undress and bathe me. I think my whole person has just been exposed to the whole world.

She scrubbed my body thoroughly and it was hella pain, I thought I was about to be skinned alive.

After that, she let me wear a thin layer of cloth that she brought and put makeup on my face. Lastly, to make me more stunning she decorated me with accessories.

“Done!” she smiled widely like she is proud of her invention.

She brings me a mirror and levels it with my face to see myself.

I was amazed at what she had done to me, it feels like I’m a different person. What did she do to me?

“You look so beautiful!”

I am still mesmerized by myself in the mirror.

Someone knock at the door and said, “Niko, Miss Luna has arrived.”

She tensed and pull me again.

Where she’s going to bring me this time?

I let her drag me anywhere, isn’t that I don’t have a choice; I just wanted to know what is going on and the reason I have to dress like this. And, to know the truth is to meet this Miss Luna.

We stopped at a wooden door.

The girl breathed in and out, trying to relax and calm herself after that she take the courage to knock on the door.

“Who is it?” asked behind the door.

“It’s me Niko.” She answered.

“Enter.”

The girl opened the door and let me enter first then she followed.

She seated on the pillow in seiza position and when she noticed that I haven’t seated yet, she gestured me to sit beside her.

I did what she told me to.

“What business brings you here, Niko?”

I look in front and the one who is talking is covered with a curtain.

“I brought the flower, Miss Luna.” She said with a tone of respect.

She didn’t bring any flowers though.

“Why did you bring her? I just talk with her a while ago.”

She looks at me in shock.

She whispered to me, “Why didn’t you tell me that you already talk to Miss Luna?”

I shake my head and said, “I didn’t.”

She raised her brow, “You didn’t?”

“The flower told she hasn’t talked to you, Miss Luna.”

Did she mean me? A flower?

When did I become a flower? Wait…she doesn’t mean the flower that grows out of the ground.

She uses the word flower to personify a person.

“Are you telling me that I’m lying, Niko?” there was a threat in her voice that made the girl fear in pain.

“I’m sorry!” she bowed her head until it touch the floor, she was trembling and was about to cry.

“Miss Luna, this is my first time meeting you. It is impossible that I talk to you.” I speak up because if I did not, we will be wasting Miss Luna’s time and will be forced to kick out of this place just because a girl can’t stop trembling to defend herself.

“And…who might you be?”

I felt that she’s a strict person because of her tone of voice and the way the girl tremble just by mentioning her name.

“I am West.” I use my pseudonym in introducing myself.

“West… I didn’t buy a girl with the name ‘West’ so who are you?”

I realized my situation right now, I was mistaken by the girl that I’m a flower or whatever they call it and I have to convince this woman behind the curtain what I am doing here.

“I’m an adventurer and was looking for an Inn to stay in then I saw this building so I decided to check it out but I didn’t know that I will be mistaken by someone else. I let her dress me like this because I, don’t know what is going on and I thought meeting you might answer my question.”
