Eris Braunhauer. Age: 1,223 seasons. Job: Maid. Specialty: Screaming.

Yep, she is the maid who first encountered Kuro inside Her Holiness' chamber after she summoned him. As a maid, she was assigned to attend to the Saint's personal well-being, which she does with zeal. But in reality, Eris was given her duty not because she's talented on that regard; it is because of her skill for screaming, which can be heard throughout the entire palace and used as an alarm when there's a trespasser, as was the case of Kuro.

And in the aftermath of the incident with that strange boy, Eris can't remove from her mind the fact that she almost caused his death.

Well, it's not that she's totally abhorring interacting with men, however, her workplace is a big influence on her life as a young maiden. The maids of the Holy Palatial Gardens are well-known haters of the opposite gender, since they had a bad history from the repeated trespassing incidents of the past.

"…"

Her co-workers' mantra in the workplace is 'All men are perverts and perverts are all men', which was deeply rooted in her heart. Thus, she believed that all boys wanted only 'that' from girls like her. But…

"Hey, watch it!"

"!!!"

A book almost fell on Eris' head as she was cleaning the Saint's private library. Fortunately, Kuro was there reading some books to pass time.

No, he didn't manage to catch the book as it fell directly on Eris' foot (that's why it's written 'almost fell on her head'); he's quite a wimp sometimes, see? What he did right is actually after the poor young maid hurt her foot…it was a heavy tome after all.

Kuro removed Eris' boot and massaged the part that got hurt. And then, after asking her if the pain's gone, he went back to his book.

At that moment, there's confusion in Eris' mind.

If she followed the Aristotelian logic she didn't know she was already using… 'All perverts are men and perverts are all men', then she could infer that this boy, Kuro, has an ulterior motive towards her. However, the guy just went back to his book without even looking lecherously at her smooth skin and fair complexion.

Could it be that Aristotle's logic is wrong? And who is Aristotle anyway? She asked herself.

Anyway, back to Kuro and Eris. As he didn't bother her any longer, the maid excused herself from the library and went on her way. However, deep in her heart, Eris could feel something pleasant is welling up. After all, she was there when she saw Kuro push the Head Maid away from immediate danger and almost got killed himself, if not for Her Holiness' direct intervention. Not only that, Kuro saved her friends from the kitchen department who tried to attack him in his room before. He also caught a pervert that was trying to steal Her Holiness' u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r. And, all of them watched Kuro as he saved the Head Maid when she was about to jump from the roof of the Servants' Quarters.

"…"

But that's something that she'll realize later on. For the meantime, Eris needs to clear her mind of that random guy called Aristotle.

*Meanwhile, on Kuro's side…*

Hmm…lately, I'm starting to get the chills. It's as if someone's watching me.

"…"

Well, I mean, the maids ARE watching my every move and I can feel their bloodl.u.s.t for me. But this one's different. It's as if…as if…someone's putting a charm on me…

"…"

I guess it's only my imagination. I mean, who's stupid enough to become attracted to someone like me?

"ACHOOO!!!" "ACHOOO!!!" "ACHOOO!!!"
