"So, Eros. Rumors are flying around that you're courting the Countess of Melodia herself." Araceli's eyes glinted in the light of the room as she looked him in the eye. "I have to say, that's—quite an interesting choice." (adeadlysong, from Araceli to Eros)

“Rumors are flying around already? I hope they aren’t malignant,” Eros replied to the ruler of the Ilma region, surprised that she would visit him. Despite being a nobleman, he’d help rulers now and then when it came to matters of reading over documents and signing treaties. That’s how he already came to know Araceli Nemesis, but it’s the first time she has mentioned his personal life, that seemed to come in the limelight. 

“Interesting how?” He kept a friendly air around her, despite feeling nervous. It was one thing to convince his mother after telling her that their possible future daughter-in-law cannot bear children, but involving anyone outside his family seemed uncomfortable. But he didn’t want to seem as such, for he certainly did not want to upset the ruler. Not with her reputation.

But- he took this as yet another test. Then again, would the repercussions of going against Araceli worse than being chased by a bear? Probably not.
