Bunny ears

My eyes looked at him unbelieving. I had at least no right to defense. That man was blaming me, blaming Ilyada and everyone around him to hide the real monster, the real wrong of all these events. Himself!

It was him, it's him, and maybe he'll always remain the driving force behind all this. Such people end up getting trapped in an infinite looping of guilt and pride that in the end is almost as lethal as drinking the poison from the fangs of a cobra in the hope that it heals and its diseased soul.

- You won't eat anything today... since you'd rather interrupt me and then ignore me I think it would be more appropriate for you and your attitudes to be hungry and the rest of the day.

- Okay…

He ignored my politeness and and said some dirty name before turning his eyes to the window ignoring completely my existence.

My mind was confused with the last night memories, flavors and the sensations that was stoked on me.

- Good morning Kristma! - Welcomed a tall and elegant woman.

She was beautiful like the fall. Her body was slender and delicate, her face was strong and sophisticated.

Her dress silk skirts were light and fluid in colors of wheat fields and the sunlight at

the end of day and were sustained by a dark leather belt.

- You must be the new pallaki... My name is Ilyada, I'm the first lady. Cael went to Sanhedrin at Nekrós... - Ilyada was sweet and smart. Perhaps to materialize her elegant aura she sat down right next to me. - Did he warn you about the houses and the harem?

- Yes...

- So... Did you decide where will you live by now?

- I don't know yet... Like... He explained it but I'm still confused...

- All right. No problem... You can stay here in the main house while you think about it... I will show you your room and when you decide it just tell me, okay?

- Okay... Thanks.

- And the most important. Listen me kid, the other pallakis can be unfriendly... be careful here. - Accidentally Ilyada slipped up a sigh of sadness as if that situation it was a heavy and constant burden.

- I understand... When does Cael come home?

- Well darling... He won't come back today. He will go to the summer ranch. Cael doesn't spend a lot of time here... He comes here when he needs to relax.

- How often Cael comes here?

- Normally he visits us twice on week...

- Miss Ilyada, can I ask you a personal question?

- Of course!

- How is your relationship with Master Cael?

- My kid... This is a complicated question... I will answer you but now it's not the right moment... let's dothe following, you will wear your clothes and I will wait you downstairs, at the dinning room... After the breakfast I will answer your question and explain you my work and more. Okay?

- Okay Miss Ilyada...
