The personal maid

Lady Viola knew that she was going to send her only friend and companion to the Devil first as it was tradition.

She didn't want to,but as usual she never had a say. It was only a matter of months before she joined her in hell.

She was certain the demon was already preparing ways to punish her when he married her and she was right.

Bertha looked a lady Viola sighing softly she didn't want to leave the kingdom and face the risk of getting caught.

She had her own secrets she would hide for as long she wanted.

"You're Silent Bertha" Lady Viola says.

"That is because I have nothing to say my Lady" She chose to stay silent,worrying about for herself and best friend.

"It's custom and tradition Bertha,we have to follow it even if I'm a princess" Viola says.

"i do know that princess and I have no complaints"

"You are worried about being in a demon kingdom right?"

"I am not my Lady,I worry for you...your life would be miserable after marriage" Bertha says.

If only Lady Viola knew...she wouldn't be worried about her..humans were slaves to demons in their kingdom and vice versa but no one talked about half demons....

Bertha knew she was going to be okay.

She didn't know the traditions as she wasn't from Perfidious Albion.

"How long do I have to put up with demons? and their Lord?" Bertha asks shrugging.

"Three months" Viola says.

Bertha's eyes widened before she looked away. That long? would she last that long?

Well only time would tell.

"Very well,take care till you join me there"

Bertha says in a monotonic voice.

She didn't want to continue the conversation and it was obvious.

She was silent.

"You as well" Viola whispers.

........

Lord Benjamin sat in the carriage at the side with his legs crossed while Bertha sat at a corner not the least bit affected by his dangerous aura.

Did she hate him? No,she didn't,she couldn't hate her kind after all he wasn't the main cause of the war,not deaths.

It was the selfish Queen Etta.

She had heard he was the most dangerous Demon Lord said and known but deep within her she knew one more Demon Lord who could be as dangerous if not more dangerous than Lord Benjamin....

She felt Lord Benjamin's gaze on her so she couldn't help but shift uncomfortably.

"Personal maid,..ha.. didn't you hear of maids that end up dead or missing or dead after seen entering a carriage with me?" He suddenly asks.

"The people of Perfidious Albion do not gossip" She snaps.

Lord Benjamin's lip tugged up into a smirk was she a personal maid? or wasn't she taught on how to act and speak to Lords,Ladies,or Royals?

His Demon would enjoy this one as meal but sadly his Demon was in no way tasty for the girl's flesh or blood.

But why? Just a while ago his demon was ready to devour Queen Etta but now...what changed?
