Chapter 5

As he passes out and we turn back to normal.

The next morning passed so quickly but I engraved the memory of that night to me like carvings in a gravestone

I shocked that servant to had vaguely seen an unknown visitor which was the slave but in tattered clothing with a perplexed face and furrowed brows that made her speculate the boy was a robber in disguise because a stranger was still an unknown alien to them. He was still unconscious. the maid was about to know. I would have to think fast and report immediately as her hesitant nature was a clear sign to the household and wondered and got lost again to its quarters she still didn't know where to go and this was a hassle for her because it was.

I of course was pretending to be asleep as I saw the maid in a fuss and was in thought & confusion and lacked the sense of direction.

But soon as the maid had heard the ruffling of the white sheets. The maid covered her mouth it's fine " I know him " I said as I continue to block her protest that would hinder our peace. This was my solace and nothing can ever replace this moment. I feel content right now. I am happier as I saw a spectacle of a glorified being beside me in slumber like he belonged only to me and that I would not share him with anyone he became my favorite. Or that I would favor at least for now I have much yet to learn of being a true vampiress of the night of what I was destined to be.

"Keep it a secret '

I, as the young mistress that I am. I commanded again so that she understands the order to keep her silent. but I also knew that maids are sneaky creatures that even their loyalty has a price for everything has a price in the world that I am accustomed to and that will never change even today. " How much " I haggled " for your silence?" As I put my sharp nails that grazed across her pale skin in which was like a ghost that symbolizes that she was at her wit's end there was no going back. She knew that this was above her pay grade and she would suffer grave consequences that are to come.

I was just sleeping now with him, I'm being speculated of what. Infidelity? I blow up red on both of my rosy cheeks. the maid fainted for a while and regain consciousness in minutes nothing which seemingly was like 5 minutes. It wasn't long enough as soon as she cautiously converses with the young princess that was less intimidating since this maid doesn't know much about the palace and that the property my family governs in or rather the household. it was still a task that is detail that she continues to forget. This maid named 'Faun' was selected because she forgets things easily.

" No buts," I said with no pun intended. I wasn't testing, I wants him to stay as my 'pet ' and I feel that strongly about him because it makes her feel more in control of her life dignified as she acts out to be. To reassure her, this Faun. This halfling of a maid. That I was no coward but a respectable lady to be honored. And served competently without question or anything. I just desire plain superiority over everyone. I want that more than anything and I felt that with him by my side.

That being said that my age devalues my power is an insult. I am a hundred years old was my excuse even if that counts as one. Faun shakes her head seeing that as reasonable as it may sound it doesn't seem right and it feels obscure to even feel that. Faun has the same experience, but the authority is also to keep in mind no matter what you have been. It always comes foremost more than anything else cause it might hurt or even hinder and lose your job that may be replaceable in hard times when only an opportunity can land you to the life you want to live on. The dream that Faun wants.

The maid calculate it made sense " I understand mistress"

" but I require your favor in case the truth is told" The audacity I put up with. She yet again making things shaded. This maid's bargain was thin but it was better than nothing but it was still nothing asking for something immediately sentenced to the guillotine. Death. Not freedom. It was a medieval timeline where the royals are rulers who rule not to give endless favors and requests like a jinn. It was unrelated to be one of those kinds of rulers the monarchy and palace would not have existed. It cannot be, " fine. But you must do the same." The tact of mine as the mistress was reasonably sinister.

The feud between us both sent the thundering clash upon them in the strike of midnight. But neither of them flinch or even took a breath as their eyes. The retinas glowed or red ruby and her pink amethyst. " You are a rat." The young mistress said, "a half fa mortal half your grace " n to newly your acquaintance

" likewise, I am not bound to you rat," I said mentally as if sending her a warning to the half-fae devilish threatening squint starting a contest. I despise anyone who is against me.

But then the footsteps came closer than closer. Who is that they both questioned striping their feud. But again it didn't mind them. " Are you still going to..." The thick clacking of the leather heels sounded familiar, and it was. I knew though but it sounds very unnerving, I dont know it felt strange for the first time I don't know. The half-fae maid felt it as well.

" Your majesty..., "Their eyes bolted in unison at the words expecting who it was but then they remembered the boy that was in my bed was still there in his sweet hibernation like a toddler. Was this my father?
