"I have waited for you in all of my lives, Gooseberry, and, in all of them you had left, please stay in this one" he pleaded, his eyes locked with hers.

"I wish to stay too, My Lord Husband, because you are forever, Theodore " she whispered with tears in her eyes.

A possible sacrifice is sent for him to devour but he will worship and do her however she desires.

Every day, every season, forever, he will repeat the routine of the ritual which is her because she is his favourite ritual.

Lydia Statham, an illegitimate girl living with her noble-born family in a land where her kinds were an unacceptable abomination, forced to live as an employed and never to be seen outside as a part of the Statham family, Lydia craved to be outside but never got to, but only through books and stories from others does she know the outside world, until a day came when a letter had been delivered to their estate ‘they was a bridal pick banquet at one of the biggest mansions in Critic Arley’ that was what Lydia knew as she travels to a banquet that every young lady was invited to but Lydia found herself alone in the enemy’s mansion.

Lord Theodore's Favorite Ritual

Evening.

Office, Theodore Mansion.

Critic Arley, Critic-Ishire.

***************

Theodore was still in his office, behind his desk with a frown marring his face as he went through scrolls of complaints and requests when Hound barged in. "Lord Theodore, there is a problem" he announced.

Theodore refused to sigh. "Do tell, what problem has arose again?"

There was a wide stain of red on Hounds white shirt and Theodore made it his business not to ask him how he got it. "A group already left last week lord Theodore and none of them came back"

Theodore sprsbg out of his seat. "And nobody thought to report this?"

"They assumed you would issue penalties to their families because they left without approval" Hound sounded off his tone calming.

I love you because I love you
