章節 12: He arrives

Speranza oblivious to the scheme entered the bath more than happy so. She had taken one in the river and that had been interrupted by that man… and he even had teased her while he had "rinsed" his eyes with her body… just thinking this it infuriated her immensely;-- That bastard keep taking advantage of her over and over again letting his hand wander to places she did not like it gave her odd feelings but he seemed to have calmed down and had not forced a move since the last time he pushed her too far making her feel suffocated.

Thinking about him she dipped underwater to wet her hair, surfacing she closed her eyes leaning her head on the edge of the square bath that looked more like a mini pool than anything. It was deep enough for her to take a swim! Now that she looked at it more there was lilacs and other flower petals floating a top making it lovely to look at. That man sure knew how to make things fancy and lavish but thinking on how many women lived under his roof she couldn't help but shake her head. Those girls were all bird caged in a pretty beautiful golden cage with fancy designs. But she would not want such life it's too plain and boring those girls likely all fight for his affection. Why torture herself for a man that has eyes on every menu in town? Isn't it asking for trouble? A man like that likely see's women like clothes or items used at their convenience discard when unneeded!

She, Speranza would not endure that! Her man can only have her like her father with her mother one pair until the end! Good or bad did not matter much as long he was good to her it's all that mattered or so said her mother.

Time passed as she let herself float atop the water lost in her own daze uncomfortable feeling brewed inside her like an itch that she just could not scratch but she was not itchy anywhere. It only made her restless the incense that were lighted smelled sweet and fragrant, a type of an unknown flower she just could not place her finger on it deciding she needed to get out of the water her mind kept going back to that elf man and how his touch felt even if it was indecent she could not brush those thoughts out! With a bet red face and flustered attitude, she exited the water the hour was now close to eleven o'clock.

Having not eaten yet she gathered the outfit that the maid had left for her which was some harem style pants a adjusted bra with a tight fit hip belt the set was in a burnt orange and red the brangles decorations and flakes in shade of gold giving a feeling like the girl was made of live fire the transparent scarf of bright yellow had gems encased in its mesh small red rubies with golden threads.

She looked at the outfit quite dazed she was supposed to wear this?

For sleeping?

Who were they thinking would sleep in this type of showy outfit!

Did they not have something plainer?

What would happen if she broke it?

Then would they not find faults with her and ask her money for it?

She frowned deeply they clearly were looking to give her troubles.

She would only wear the bra and pants the scarf was too fragile… She just could not afford to damage it!

Getting out of the bath the maid went to help her get dressed carefully dressing her up placing the scarf on Speranza's head even after she protested saying that it was no big deal it would help keep the mosquitos away from her head… she placed a gold tiara to hold it up with a small same patterned veil to complete the look.

While the maid prepared her for her meal she could not get rid of that feeling of comfort she tried her best to remain unmoving but a strange heat brewed in her body just enough to be annoying and uncomfortable.

Her fidgeting did not escape the maid which made her smile slightly the girl was receptive to the incense made with a subtle aphrodisiac that would be increased once she had drunk its flare ingredient it would take her at most ten minutes afterward to lose her conscience to the fire in her abdomen and be made into master new concubine willingly. Anyhow she would not have a choice this thing even if it was not poisoning if the infected one was not "cured" it would damage his veins which would affect their magic potential it was a ruthless drug she could only submit and obey!

Speranza walked to the meal area surprisingly the man was there also waiting for her to have an evening meal. Puzzled but still bothered by her own body problem she said nothing and quietly sat down. Her cheeks had a faint pink glow from her internal struggles.

He eyed her like a wolf stares at a fat sheep. She would not need much more of it before she tipped into his grasp. He is a lustful man a fully embrace his own nature. If he wants a beauty he will stop at nothing to make the beauty his after the night she would be stuck if she decided to leave her prospect would be bleak, man would not marry a woman that had a child in the stomach form another man! And adventuring like she did previously while carrying a child was having a death wish for a girl that could barely take care of her own self.

While he made sure all the others never fell with a child this one he knew that she would refuse to stay when morning came unless he cut off all her routes. Not to ruthlessly on the surface the move of the initiating of the intimacy had to come from her. He would then be blameless in her eyes only answering her action of physical contact until it escalated to the bed passion. Her nymph blood would ensure that she would remain beautiful and youthful and her life would be long her bloodline was strong! This quality of consort where rare, Nymph being elusive of mankind rarely one would be found and all its daughters would be insured to become concubines or wives of powerful men as only they could effectively protect them...

Watching her eat he took some pieces and munched on it without much care. He found her struggles amusing this girl was a blank paper he would teach and colour it slowly once it was in his hands.

Speranza drank a few mouthfuls the food was quite salty and spicy while not to the point of overpowering the taste but enough that she could not eat too much without drinking.

The clock struck midnight and a huge ruckus and commotion were heard with a familiar voice raging through the mansion!

"DRAVICK you BASTARD get your ass over I know it was your pet that kidnapped her!"
