He dryly told "move" she bowed and moved as if she feared him to see something he should not.
Once he opened the door he saw the man holding his stomach next to the water bucket.
Speranza was inside her water tub her face was pale and she looked like she worried about that person as well as being confused but she had not look in his direction yet.
She likely did not even notice him entering as he had made no noise when he had entered.
Seeing the curled up slave he could not help but wonder what was that Timaras plan?
That man had been chosen by him, he was fairly certain of his character it was upright and would not make a move on a woman that he could not dare touch.
Even if he could he would not as his high honour sense would forbid him from doing so.
He approached the man placing his hand on his shoulder squatting down to his level as he was now kneel-curling on the floor seems to desperately struggle with something.
Seeing the obvious erection he instantly placed the puzzle in place.
But he wanted a confirmation he did not even need to ask once the young man sensed his presence he spoke in a low tone with much difficulty.
"Master the maid spiked a drink and served it to me in false goodwill."
He let him continue.
"I am afraid it's a rather fast acting aphrodisiac drug, She had me and the others fill a bath for Milady and then asked me to stay behind on miscellaneous pretext then she tasked me to get more hot water the hotter the better, when I came back carrying the water I was quite thirsty noting that she offered me a drink. Which I thought it was in goodwill but it was spiked and since I was very thirsty I failed to notice it."
He frowned
"Master I thought she was being kind to me but she wanted me to sully the mistress" He spoke with much pain his male rod felt like it would burst open if it did not meet its desired needs…
Seeing him struggle like this, moreover, form the fact he did resist the drugs for so long he smiled. He was a good find well, Timara had a use he had been able to find a loyal servant.
He asked with wickedness in is tone as well as a mood of anger.
"Do you want revenge on her by having her relieve the poison?"
The slave looked at him with incredulous expression then it turned to disgust.
"I am sorry my master. I would rather not touch such woman she is too disgusting.
Pausing a moment he continued.
"Her wicked heart and mind are too much I would, of course, wish for her to pay for her crime of framing others."
Arkalat smirked.
"Don't fret she will pay for aiming at my wife. But I would let you enjoy the satisfaction of having your justice served.
Wither it's making her yours to plaything at night until your sick of it or making her the new communal relieving loneliness toy for the boat crew and all that serve me the choice is your own."
While he was righteous he was also merciless.
"If it's my choice then I would rather see her become the plaything of the crew for how wicked her plan was she wanted to end two lives using a borrowed knife. If I can humbly suggest to make it so she is unable to cut her own tongue or hang herself.
By gagging her with a gag ball and tying her to a cross so she cannot move to hang herself or giving her a taste of her own medicine which is even better moreover throwing her into a room to wait on the crew at night would be two satisfying punishments for her action I believe."
He listened to his ideas and a malicious light spawn in his eyes as he made a sneer.
"Well you can also be unforgiving it's good, very good even, Well since you do not want to encounter her I will let you chose among the other girl or I'm sorry to say you won't endure."
His smirk did not leave as he was more satisfied by this young man that was about eighteen.
"Well one girl might have been a silent accomplice since she said nothing while she might also be unaware, anyhow the choice is yours but if you chose to not end your life I will give you a good reward for tonight's service."
The young man blushed slightly and spoke " there is a girl that I had a crush on since I entered your service but per the rules, I never dared express or approach the girl I don't even know her name but I know she also follows the mistress around… If master allows it and if she is willing…" He obviously was struggling even more at the thought of his own flame…
Speranza looked at both of them feeling a slightly vexed to have been neglected while she had to stay in the tub which was getting colder by the minute she coughed once...
Arkalat looked at his wife annoyed expression and made a guilty smile.
"Go in the far room I will have her join you."
He then looked at the girl that was sitting in a far corner with a red face.
"come here," he told her with not much consideration he continued. "you heard everything since you where in the bathroom I will take it as you did not participate in the crime tonight. However, If your willing to help him I will not let you out without some benefits as such as making you an official couple since your both servants of our family you don't need to but if you wish it officially you can organize a small ceremony for yourselves." Saying those words he walked to his now cold little kitten reaching for a long soft towel he lifted her up wrapping her tightly before stepping out.
alright, Last one for tonight ;)
