as she was about to close the door she heard the Lord calling her name " Althea " upon hearing her name she halted her steps going back inside her hand still on the doork.n.o.b " yes my Lord " she replied to him still standing at the door" yes please have a site " he pointed to the chair as he stood up from his please " close the door behind you " he added. taking the gla.s.s of water he adding to it two of the blood tablet
Althea closed the door walking towards the chair she sat there waiting for the Lord from her place she watched the Lord as waited for the tablets to dissolves in the water gla.s.s turning into blood red color drinking at one gulp after he finished he put the gla.s.s back in the tray leaving the food untouched
turning his attention back to the girl who was waiting for him he took the chair across to her sitting on it focusing his gaze on the beautiful face in front of him though she was the wearing the maids uniform which was a long black dress with long sleeves with a white tied around her waist. her hair tie seems to be loosened during the day leaving some of her locks out of it to fall on her shoulder Althea now don"t have short bangs on her forehead anymore but rather long ones at the side of her face exposing her young and innocent face
Althea noticed the Lord gaze on her she cleared her throat to get his attention which worked
" I called you back to apologize " the Lord started, hearing the apologies word Althea"s eyebrows knitted together in confusion, the Lord continued " for Aido uncalled for behaviors "
Althea was shocked at first but then she spoke " nothing happened my Lord there"s no need to apologize for, I"m a maid things like this are bound to happen now or at the future, thank you for your concern " as she finished talking there was a hint of sadness in her voice
the Lord felt a wave of anger took over him if he wasn"t controlling his power something would have broke into piece by now " don"t feel ashamed because you are a maid Althea others should be thankful for people like you providing them with their needs " the Lord stood up from his chair seeing this Althea stood up too she was about to reply to his words when she suddenly was pulled into an embrace the Lord enveloped her in his arms moving his hand in a soothing motion on her back at first she didn"t know what is happening but then she realized the Lord was hugging her and he is patting her on her back. when he pulled away from her he kept looking in her eyes like is seeing through her soul tagging her hair lock behind her ear she heard him speak " good night Althea " she nodded her head and left
after reaching to her room she drink a full gla.s.s of water she felt her throat was very dry like she spent the day in a desert to think that the Lord has a soft said to his servants that was very shocking if only she knew that she was the only one to see this said. feeling so tired Althea changed into her nightgown and went to her bed.
...................................................................................................
when Althea opened her eyes again it was dawn time touching her face she felt that some wet on her skin pulling the sheets of her whole body was covered in sweat her nightgown was drenched getting off the bed she went to the bathroom. ones again she dreamed about the same thing the problem is this time she saw the whole incident again she felt like it was real her body felt numb she couldn"t save herself even in a dream. after she finished bathing Althea stood in front of the mirror wiping the fog with her hand she looked at her reflection in the mirror the same memories kept on replaying in her head not able to take it anymore she took the bottle that was on the mirror shelf both the bottle and the mirror smashed into pieces her whole body felt weak Althea fell on the floor hugging herself crying silently.
lady Chou looked at the time and noticed that it was getting late and Althea isn"t here yet the old lady decided to go to her room to see if she was alright.
