"Would you like to have a cup of tea and biscuits?" he offered.

'How can he think about food at a time like this?!' Liz asked herself puzzled.

"One can not discuss such a serious topic with an empty stomach." he reasoned.

"And especially when you're a glutton like you, my little piglet." he added in a teasing tone with a m.u.f.fled smirk.

Liz was seething with rage.

If there was one thing she did not like, it was when someone criticized her for her eating habits or teased her for her size.

And yet this shameless b.a.s.t.a.r.d dared to cross both of those hard limits of hers.

Angry or not, Liz seemed outwardly unaffected by his remark.

She put up her famous crooked smile on her face and replied dryly:

"I am not yours yet."

In doing so, she hinted so blatantly that her engagement with him could be annulled at any time and thus he should not provoke her too much.

After all, he still needs her for his plans of revenge against Margonia and Mazeldovia. Liz gave herself inwardly a high five for her counterattack, which you could see in her triumphant grin.

That leaves you speechless, does not it? her eyes signalled.

However, his reaction was not what Liz had expected.

A mischievous smile emerged on his face.

'What is he up to now?' Liz convulsively puzzled.

Her thoughts were interrupted when Ares bowed his head and whispered:

"We can change this at any time and at any place. But I don't think we should do 'it' here in my study office. That would be very unromantic for a first time, would not it?" and he blew in her ear.

Liz body winced at this action.

Her brain stopped working for a moment.

Moments later she was back to her senses.

'This motherf*cker twisted my words and took advantage when I was lost in my thoughts to get closer to me.' Liz cursed internally.

Ares was already sitting on his armchair again and put a carefree expression on his face.

As if he was not scared to receive Liz's wrath.

Grimly Liz made her way to the armchair opposite Ares and let herself sink into it.

"Then I want a cup of tea and cookies." she croaked grumpy.

"I knew you would not turn down the offer. It was only a matter of time before you gave in."

A smug grin etched on Ares lips.

'Pff then I'm gonna eat all your cookies.' her inner voice advised her.

Shortly afterwards a butler entered Ares' study office and served tea and cookies.

Then he retired.

Liz did not hesitate long and pounced on the cookies like a hungry wolf on its prey.

She devours the cookies like a word champion.

One by one she stuffed in her mouth.

Ares could not suppress a hearty laugh.

He could not recognize the sn.o.bby, image-crazed Princess Eleanor in her.

Instead, a hamster sat opposite him, h.o.a.rding his cheek pockets full.

Although Liz was annoyed that he was making fun of her, she still had to set a record for eating fast cookies.

After the last cookie was eaten, her inner voice praised her.

'How do you like that? You did not get one of those delicious cookies.'

When Liz was about to put on her triumphant smile to rub Ares' nose in it, she noticed that he was no longer sitting in his armchair.

She could feel a chill running down her spine.

She had a faint idea where he might be.

Reluctantly, she turned her head to the right and there he stood.

The epitome of male beauty.

He had already bent over to her and wiped the remaining cookie crumbs with his thumb from the corner of Liz's mouth.

But instead of getting rid of them, he licked his thumb.

"Delicious. But they would have tasted better if I had been eating them right from your mouth."

Liz: …
