"Let me lead you to the room you shall be occupying for the time being" Jazmine offered and Lily glady nodded her head.
Following the lady into the room, Lily couldn't help but feel contented, the room was pleasing to the eye and had a beautiful vintage color combination.
The normal size of a bed for her and it could at least contain one more person, it had a beautiful curtain around it and a wooden cover atop to hold the curtains in place, in front of the bed was a small table with two chairs and a big closet was not too far away from her bed as it was opened a bit, so she could see the hanged cloths peeking out.
She loved the carpets and the rug underneath the table.
"I shall leave you to take care of yourself, I will send a maid over to clean you and get you ready for dinner" Jazmine said and Lily was quick to nod.
Jazmine closed the door with a soft click, it showed how composed she was, Lily didn't want to admit it but she actually liked the setting of everything apart from the killing sight which she tried to keep at the back of her mind, she wasn't sure she was going to sleep well if she kept thinking about it.
A soft knock was heard and Lily went towards the door to open it, a beautiful girl with blonde hair and red eye balls stood outside the room looking at her.
"Milady" the girl bowed and Lily was embarrassed as she had left the poor girl outside the room, making a quick move she opened the door wide to let the girl come in.
"Am sorry, I didn't mean to let you stay out there" Lily quickly said and the girl nodded.
"No problem milady, I am Celine, the maid assigned to serve you, you shall be assigned with other maids, but I am to deal with personal jobs" Celine said and Lily gave a polite smile.
"Let's get you into the bathroom for your bath" Celine said as she led the way to the bathroom in the room with her head bowed, Lily followed curious of how the bathroom looked.Celine got behind Lily wanting to help her out of her dress, touching the dress, Lily froze.
"I think I can help myself" Lily said as she cleared her throat.
"Oh, am sorry for making you feel that way, it's just happens to be my job, I sure won't let you down milady" Celine said with great determination and Lily looked at her before she nodded.
She felt Celine stop what whatever she was doing and she asked, "is anything wrong?".
"No milady, it's just that your hometown dress isn't what we wear here, so am not familiar with the way you wear or put it off" the embarrassed Celine said and Lily smiled.
She didn't even know which cloths she was wearing herself, she had been too occupied with everything happening, taking of her pajamas which was all sweaty and dirty she stepped into the already filled tub.
Celine sat behind her, dipping sponge into cool water and vinegar, Celine then started washing Lily's back and body.
After the scrub, Celine had moved into washing Lily's almost red hair, massaging her scalp and every handful of her hair.
"milady, your hair is pretty" Celine said and Lily smiled foolishly as she was enjoying the massage.
"thank you, you can stop calling me that, I am Lily" Lily said and the maid only smiled.
meanwhile
"Sebastian, why have thou brought a foreign lady Into thy world?" Jazmine asked in a tone of peevish displeasure.
"the world, the empire is not a safe place to bring more innocent people into, at least think of her family, her loved ones if she has any" Jazmine continued but Sebastian said nothing as he was currently enjoying his bath and could only careless what his sister was saying.
After some minutes, Sebastian came out with a towel around his shoulders, he was wearing a robe.
"What can I help you with?" Sebastian asked as he brought the towel up to run his silky black hair which was wet.
"who is she?" Jazmine asked.
"Lily" was Sebastian curt reply, his reply made Jazmine scoff.
"you know what I mean" She then added.
"she is just a price I went to claim, she is already of age to be here" Sebastian said and Jazmine's eyes flew open.
"is she the daughter of..."
Jazmine's words were cut short.
"prepare the soldiers, it was time I get back what is mine" Sebastian said as he walked away into his closet.
"you want to attack?" Jazmine asked and Sebastian smiled.
"something like that, the crown has been missing the right owner" He replied with a small smile.
