Chapter 165

**Tzalmon Point of View**

I'm sure it's supposed to be love poem but it somehow sounds like list of complaints against me in a sophisticated vocabulary.

It's neither a praise not completely insulting me.

What exactly is this poem about?

Scratching my head, I decided to let it and continue with the game. There will more opportunities to make a move on her so I only need to wait for the right chance to pounce on her.

Yes!

"Alright, let's continue. Let me shuffle the card and distribute them now." I pulled the deck of cards and started the next round of the game.

Although Eblilis was a little down for losing the first game, she still has a hint of smugness after she finished presenting me with a poem.

She picked her own cards and acted secretively, trying her best to cover her cards from me. I smiled at her childishness as I arranged my own cards.

Fifteen minutes later, I shouted another 'Rummy' and successfully won the second round as well. With a loud chuckle, I showed my cards and looked up to see the frowning Eblilis.

"Are you so happy?"

"Of course. Come on, let me pull out another card from the box and let's see what the loser has to do for the winner this time." I nodded unwisely and went on to choose a card from the box.

I'm so excited to know what the next card will be.

Will it be to hug me?

Will it be to kiss me?

How about both?

I don't mind at all. I don't mind if the task on the card is a little more cheesy and cliché.

"Okay, I'm going to open it now." I waved the card in front of her and she only managed to look at me blankly.

This made me even happier because her blank and I-will-deal-with-you-later look almost made me want to laugh out loud.

"What are you dancing for like human figure balloon? Just open it and tell me what to do." Gosh! When she is a little irritated, she gives me such a homely feeling.

I grinned wickedly at her and slowly opened the card while creating a hint of suspense in air. After acting like a host of a game show for two minutes, I finally read what is in the card and right that very moment, my happiness deflated.

What – what is this?

How is it a task for the loser?

It's clearly...

It must be because of the sudden change I showed, Eblilis pulled the card from me and looked at it herself and this moment, her deflated mood turned into starry sky, bright and beautiful.

"Aiya, indeed my friends are the best. Just look at their understanding about me. They know my skills and added some suitable tasks for a loser like me." How come I feel like I am loser and she won the game this time?

Clearly, it was me who won.

"This task suits me well. Let's get it done quickly." She clapped and stood up, walked into the tent to bring out the things needed to complete the task.

"How about we waive off this task? It's not good for me to gloat over your lose." When I saw the things in her hands, I scrambled back a little and said in a hurried tone.

"How can that be? A loser should do his task and the winner should enjoy it. If I lose my integrity just because of such my displeasure, how can I live with such an attitude? What will I teach my son if I don't even fulfill my duties? Let's get it done quickly so we can continue with the game."

Before I could stand up and escape, she brought ties and tied my hands to do her task without any hindrance.

When I remember the words written on the task card, I couldn't help but curse several times in my heart.

'Do a nice full makeover for the winner and the winner have to stay in the makeover until the next day.'

As a winner how can I suffer like this?

The moment she opened her makeup box and pulled out the wet wipes, several kinds of powders, creams, brushes of different sizes and many more things I don't even know where to apply, my heart felt cold and desolated.

"Eblilis, why don't you –" I started but she pulled out a hair clip from the box and clipped it on my lips, effectively stopping me from talking.

I'm a burly, muscular man who is a king of a realm! How can I wear makeup?

It's my fault. I shouldn't have been so smug about my victory.

Eblilis first cleaned my face with a cleanser, then, after drying my face, she took out a hair band and pulled all my hair back so that it doesn't fall on my face.

"Don't move, stay still." She held my moving face with her hands and steadying me with a glare.

She lined you several kinds of bottles and containers of cosmetics and took out the first one in the order. After squeezing the bottle a little, pale pink cream dropped in her hand.

She applied it on my face and I felt that it smelled pretty good but it's too girly. My skin felt pretty moist and fresh after the cream was applied.

So I thought, that since the cream is already applied, with a little lipstick on my lips, I'm done with. Who knew she would take the second container in the order and applied it on the face again.

"Didn't you apply it just now? What is this?" I asked when I saw her squeeze out the third kind of some cream.

Is she laying a foundation to build something?

Why is there so many creams to apply.

"The first is the moisturizer, the second was the primer, and this is foundation. There's still a lot to do so shut up and let me do what I need to." Saying, she pulled out another brush and applied the foundation cream which, by the way, seems the same as the other two.

"Why don't you just do it casually? Do you have to make it so serious?" And in return, I received a very bright evil smile from her which answered everything.

So I could only shut my mouth and wait for her to finish with it.

Why is life suddenly so bleak?

She patiently continued with the concealer and another kind of foundation which came in powder. I don't even know what is the different if both are foundations.

Nonetheless, following foundation powder was bronzer, blush, highlighter, eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara, lip gloss and lip tint and ending it with some kind of facial spray and powder.

To think that the only way to use a highlighter is to highlight text on books, I feel so ignorant.

But that did not end with just that, she proceeded to put on fake lashes on my eyes and then styled my hair.

Right, the worst of all was that she actually added some kind of glitter on my eyelids. I even had to change into some kind of flower shirt and loose pants to finish the full makeover.

My feelings right now are so messed up and complicated.

"Alright, done. Do you want to look at my artwork?" First she took several pictures of me despite my resistance and only then did she pull out a mirror for me to look at myself.

" Tsk tsk, you look like a lady who went through rough hormonal patch of life." And the moment I looked at myself in the mirror, I lost all my will to live.

Life is so cruel!

The last thread of energy left my body when I saw that there is three parts of my hair tied up with a band.

Nothing around meant anything anymore, nothing inside me felt good anymore, nothing about me is confident anymore.

I'm broken beyond repair.

I'm shaken beyond revival.

"Oh come on, don't be such a drama king and just look at you. You look so – different." Different indeed. Different in not a nice way.

The more I looked at myself in the mirror, the more I want to puke at myself. She has done an excellent job with the makeup and has superb skills.

But fault is in me!

For a muscular manly man like me, with heavy girly makeup, I myself think I look so scary.

If anyone looks at me, they will surely fall into days of nightmare not to mention children who have a sensitive heart.

The confidence in me for being a handsome and a charming man shattered to pieces. I feel like there is really no reason to live anymore.

That's how creepy and nauseatic I am right now.

"You are an evil woman, Eblilis." I mumbled in a defeated and crying tone. I really want to cry right now.

"Not yet." She grinned at my defeated state.

I raised my head and looked at her suspiciously. "What do you mean?"

"Nothing. Just that, I shared your pictures to Igses just now." She said as she placed a finger under my chin and pushed it up.

And I'm dead for real this time.

Igses is many things but the most important feature of his is being a gossipmonger.

Given his excitement, by now, all the –
