Suddenly a Nanny!?
Eps. 52 The Past (7) Luring Arden
"Can I stay here for a while? You can hire me in the kitchen or clean up. I have no place to stay anymore sir" Merlin said.
"Ah... Ba-Alright" said Arden as he let go of his hand and slightly kept his distance.
"You and your son can stay here" Arden said
"Thank you very much, sir. I will work hard for you!"
And that's how Merlin and Blair can stay there with various plans that have been designed by Merlin.
...****************...
Every night Merlin goes out unbeknownst to the people at Arden's house. To be able to lure Arden he needs to meet a witch who can make potions for him.
He had reached the old house of the witch not too far from Arden's residence. So that he can return quickly.
"Excuse me, madam.." Merlin. He hesitated a little because the place was so scary for him.
"Hm... What are you looking for?" Witch says.
"Aa-I want to find a potion to lure men"
The witch was astonished and looked at Merlin from top to bottom.
"I admit you're very beautiful, is there a man who isn't attracted to you?"
"Ah. that seems to be it"
"That's a pity, well I'll look for him!"
As the witch searched for potions, Merlin was fixed on an open black book. Inside it was like a carving that he rarely saw.
"It seems like I've run out of the potion, lately there are a lot of men looking for it here" said the witch.
"Can't it be done again?"
"Hm... If you want to wait two years"
"What?! Two years!"
"To find the ingredients is very difficult! If I may suggest, just use the honesty potion"
"What's the potion for? I don't need it!" Merlin.
"You try it, maybe he just harbors feelings for you!"
Finally, Merlin hesitantly decided to buy an honesty potion.
"All right, I'll just buy it. Oh yes, witch, what book is that? Seems like a lot of weird pictures?" Ask Merlin.
"This? It was not a strange image, but rather an image where you could gain great power. You're this!"
"Huge strength?" Merlin Mumbled.
"How is it?" Merlin said enthusiastically.
"It looks like you're hooked on black magic apparently... Haha... But there's something you can contract with this black magic..."
Merlin felt lured by the words of the witch. His eyes began to shine.
"Hows it? You want to do it..." Said the witch.
...****************...
Merlin had returned before sunrise. He quickly went back into Arden's house through the back door to get to his room.
"We'll see later how this potion works..." Merlin.
In the morning, everyone there started working as usual. The same is true with Arden who is already sitting in his study.
GECK... GECK..
"Lake in!"
THE CZECH!
Merlin came to bring drinks for Arden not to forget also with the ingredients he had mixed.
"Good morning sir!" Merlin.
"Good morning Merlin, did you bring me my coffee?" Ask Arden.
"Yes, sir, please drink"
"Thank you!"
After putting down her glass, Merlin began to partially clean Arden's study.
Usually Arden always says everything is delicious even though it is actually not delicious. But we'll see if it's true he'll be honest with the salted coffee? Inner Merlin.
"Supp... Mm!"
"What's up, sir? Is my homemade coffee tasty on your tongue?" Said Merlin who saw Arden's face change.
"Ah.. No really... The coffee is so salty! Oops! I mean, the coffee's not good!" Arden was surprised by what he said. Appears an unpleasant feeling to Merlin for saying his homemade coffee is not tasty.
"Be-Right?! Did I put salt in there? I'm sorry sir!"
"Ah... It's okay!"
"I'll replace the new one!" In a hurry Merlin took the coffee and got out of there.
"What happened to me? But the coffee taste is not good anyway" muttered Arden.
A little while later, Merlin came to bring him a new coffee that he made.
"Once again forgive me sir" said Merlin.
"Yes it's okay. Srupp's... Hm... It's yummy!" Arden.
"Thank God, eum... What master can I ask you?" Merlin.
"Yes of course! Say"
"After I've been here I've never seen your daughter, where is she now?"
"Okay sir I will prepare. I'm sorry again sir, I want to ask you one more thing"
"Please!"
"I've been wanting to say this for a long time, do you remember the first time we met at the store. What is your impression of me? I ask this because many people demean me. I'm so worried about making you bother because of me." Merlin. Arden was silent for a moment considering the time of the meeting with Merlin.
"really? I think you're a good person and also very beautiful. No one likes you, even I was hooked when we first met..." Arden fell silent after saying that. He thought back to the words just now.
"What do you mean, you like me?" Merlin asked which made Arden wrong.
"Mom-No, I mean yes I admit you are very beautiful, so I was captivated for a while... Ma--Sorry!" Arden. He felt something was wrong with him. It is more open than ever.
Holy hooch! What did I just say? Merlin must be feeling bad for me! Inner Arden.
"I understand sir, because I also liked you when we first met. But I was aware of my own limitations, you already had a wife by then. Forgive me sir for still holding my feelings for you..." Merlin said, bowing his body.
It turns out that she was also captivated because of my beauty! He is very good at hiding his heart. Inner Merlin.
"Ukhs... It's okay, can you go out first?" Said Arden who felt surprised to hear that coming out of Merlin's mouth.
"Master? All right" Merlin went out of Arden's study.
He must have been very thoughtful of my words earlier. There is only one more plan so that I can become part of the noble family. Inner Merlin.
...****************...
After dinner, Arden returned to his study. A full day he could not leave his study because there were many tasks that he had to do.
"Huf... Why am I thinking about Merlin?" Arden muttered.
"Ohiya, I didn't see Merlin from the moment, was he mad at me for telling him to come out? Oh gosh... " Arden is back to his job.
A little while later, Merlin came to bring a glass of green tea for Arden.
GECK.. GECK...
"It's Merlin sir!" He said from outside the door.
"Merlin's? Yes, please come in!"
THE CZECH...
Arden was amazed to see Merlin who was already wearing white pajamas with a scarf covering his shoulders. Her hair was allowed to unravel straight making her beauty even more alluring.
"Master, forgive me for changing clothes before you took your orders this morning. Blair asked me to accompany him to bed so I forgot to pack things for tomorrow" Merlin said.
"Ah.... It's okay, if you want to rest please, let me just clean up"
"No sir, it's my duty, I'm not sleepy anyway. Ohiya this is your favorite green tea. You must have been tired all day, right in the workspace?" Merlin said and put down the glass.
"All right, thank you." Arden immediately drank the tea which had unconsciously Merlin mixed with potions and sleeping pills.
"There's nothing wrong if you rest first, don't you have to pick up Miss Olivia tomorrow?"
"Totally so."
"I'll excuse you to your room then"
"All right"
Merlin rushed to Arden's room. There he intentionally slowed down his work. Because Arden will soon be sleepy and go to his room.
And sure enough, in his study Arden was already feeling sleepy.
"Hoaamm-chan... I'm so sleepy. I'd better go to the room" said Arden. He also left his work room.
In the room there was Merlin who was still cleaning Arden's stuff. He also deliberately removed his scarf and let his chest look a little.
THE CZECH...
"Huh!?"
"Ah... Mer- Merlin!? I'm sorry I thought you were back. Wah... You are so beautiful" said Arden.
"Gosh, what did I say?" Arden muttered.
Merlin smiled happily his honesty potion was of great help to him.
"Sorry sir, I'm putting your clothes back in the closet. Are you going to rest now?"
"Ah yes, the plan was a little late, but it turns out I was a little sleepy. But it's okay you can go on-Hoaam!"
Merlin approached Arden and held his hand.
"Sir, don't force it. Let me take you to your bed."
"Ah...thank you, besides being beautiful you are also very considerate of Merlin" said Arden. He had already lost half his consciousness.
"really sir? Thank you for praising me"
Arden grabbed Merlin's hand and held him back. He stroked Merlin's face gently.
"As soon as you are, I'm more open to this feeling" Arden said. He was completely mastered by the potion of honesty.
"Then from now on don't hold it again, sir. Because there was me who always accompanied master" Merlin smiled cunningly. He stroked Arden's chest gently. He has made Arden his own.
"I'm so tired today, will you accompany me here?" Arden.
"of course, sir, I will accompany you whenever you need" said Merlin. At that time the door that was still half open showed Blair who was looking at his mother.
Merlin saw Blair. Instantly he smiled at Blair and attached his lipped index finger.
"St...." Merlin tells Blair to close the door and get out of there. Blair could only obey his mother's orders.
Merlin took Arden to bed and they spent the night.
