The next day, the whole mansion once again in chaos after mother heard that I let the slave man sleep in my room. It became actually a rumor in the whole mansion. I called Belle and ask her whether is she the one who spread the rumor but it wasn't her. Maids who are usually cleaning the alley saw the man left my room just wearing a robe. Obviously, they will start a rumor but I don't bother. I just told Bell that she should control the situation and avoid letting the public knows it or else I will massacre her entire family. It is nice teasing her because she always amuses me. I also told her to prepare a room that he and his sister can stay together. But Belle wondered that she is hundred percent sure that the young child is a male through appearance.
Mother actually reprimanded me for letting the man sleep in my room. Suddenly a greet startled my parents. A young handsome man appeared behind my back wearing an old suit. They greeted him a happy morning and they thought that he was a noble young man. They didn't realize that he is the same slave I brought with me. I told them the whole scenario about concealing magic and the submissive spell. Apart from that I didn't elaborate more. I hid the fact that he and his sister are the prince and princess of Eleanor. I also told them that the young boy is actually a girl. I also clarified everything from what happened last night. I told them that they both came from the fallen Kingdom Eleanor. My mother looked at him with pity.
"So, what is his name, I heard that slaves are given with new names, right?" mother said.
The truth is I haven't named him yet.
"Well what I shall call you? Should I call you the name given to you by your birth mother?" I asked in his language.
"I don't know that you can speak an Elea." Mother said.
(Author: Elea is the language used in the kingdom of Eleanor.)
"I may not know some of the noble education system but I am educated with many languages mother. Well, I don't know what to call him, maybe I can call him in his given name." I answered.
"Don't you think it is quite rude if a slave is going to be called by their original name? I mean, that is the name they are using before they became slaves." Mother explained. Well, I actually didn't know about that. But I don't care.
"Well, I don't know that kind of rule so since he will be my slave until I say so, I think I should ask him what he wanted to be called." I said to mother then I look at him. "So, tell me, what should I call you."
"It is not my right to choose a name for me milady." He answered.
"Oh… so what if I choose the name Fallen Eleanor." I said. I saw how he clenched his fist.
"If…I… If you want it milady then I am willing to be called as that." He said.
Yeah, right this man couldn't handle his own thoughts so he will just agree to any of my request even though he doesn't want to.
"Well, I will call you Cayden from now on, it is from your original name Cyan Denise in short Cayden." I said.
I explained to mother that I named him Cayden and told her that I took it from his name before.
That day, I told Bell to spare some clothes to Cayden's sister. Bell couldn't believe how handsome Cayden is and sometimes she just pausing for a moment to stare at him. Not only Bell but all the maids are staring at him. I told him that he should not hide his face and he should tell me if someone might recognize him. Kingdom Eleanor is a small kingdom and so vulnerable in any danger that's why they are known to be the best warrior. The reason the kingdom fall is because their nobles wanted to over throw their monarch. The crown princess of Eleanor is a formidable foe and it almost took my life before. She was so strong that I must admit that even Silvester and I were to team up, we couldn't defeat her. I heard that the crown princess was poisoned before going to the battle field. I have a good instinct that Cayden is stronger than his elder sister. No wonder they drug him to be submissive.
While I was in the study room, Cayden went to his sister. I told Belle that they should be fed properly and she should look after that man. Bell was extremely happy and it almost feels like I did give her a huge favor. After few more days, I realize that he always used the same clothes and it feels awkward to see him like that. So, I decided to buy some clothes for him but before we go for shopping, we went to the training grounds.
When we arrived there, the eyes of those guards are glued to Cayden. Some are with malicious stare and some are just looking. While observing the guards training, I suddenly wanted to see Cayden's power. I commanded him to spar with them. In the end he got beaten up and it feels like he is doing it on purpose. I spoke in his language and warned him.
"If you lose another fight, I have no choice but to punish you and punishing you means I have to start with your sister. Fight them as if you are in war and if you lose, you know what will happen to her." I warned him.
He clenched his fists and swung his sword. Like I predicted, he really is strong because those guards that I personally trained are wondered badly. He injures twenty of them to the extent of critical condition. Even he has wounds on him. If he did intending to kill them, I bet he already killed fifty of the guards. I stopped the fight and treated their wounds. I used my healing magic to heal them. I looked at Cayden and his eyes are somehow amazed. Of what?
Cayden is covered in wounds and his beautiful face has already cut on it. I saw from the distance that the maids are in distress. I called Bell and told her that she should treat him. Bell's face looks so worried. I can see that Cayden received huge damage and I am pretty aware that if I don't heal him, he is going to be in critical. But treating him in front of these guards might contribute again to another gossip.
After few minutes, I heard a knock on my door and it is no other than Bell. She told me that Cayden refuses her to touch him even they begged him and told him that they are just going to treat his wounds. Oh right, I told Cayden that he should not be touch by any other woman and besides they couldn't understand him. I instructed Bell to send him instead to my room and I am going to treat him there.
Cayden entered my room covered in wounds. Belle prepared some clothes for him to change.
"They just going to treat you, why are you not allowing them?" I asked.
"Milady told me that I should not be touch by any other girl." He said.
"Even if you are dying, you are not going to allow a girl to touch you?"
"Not as long I am awake, milady."
I looked at him and I told him to remove his top like I ask him before. His wounds are deep and those guards are really intending to kill him. I used my powers to heal him and in a matter of minute his wounds are no longer visible. I saw that glimmer in his eyes again.
"Are you fascinated to the healing magic?" I asked.
"Yes milady, there is no one in our kingdom who can heal as fast as you and yet you are still alright." He said.
I didn't talk much after that. Then he just stood besides me while I was reading some books. Then I realized that I will used another spell on him so that people can understand him. It is a spell that allow somehow to know words fast and register it to their head. In this case, he can understand our language. I put him under that spell and told him to learn the language.
Cayden was always inside the library to learn and after a whole week, he already learned the language thanks to me anyway. I also used that spell every time I need to learn some other language or gathering information. I also let the guards train with Cayden and commanded them that they should treat him equally as the Winters guards.
After a whole month, Cayden and his sister named Louis became part of our household. Louis are busy helping the maids to do some chores and I told Arthur to teach her the language of the kingdom and some etiquettes. Although the maids find it awkward, I told them that Cayden and Louis story in which I altered most of it. They pity the siblings and started to understand why I purchased them. But the truth is, I don't really want to but them out of pity it is just I wanted to know their story. Ended up, they are actually royals from a fallen kingdom. Even though I am such cold hearted person most of the time, I still know how to treat a human being.
Cayden becomes accustomed to the way of living in the kingdom.
Mother informed me that my birthday is coming and I will be turning twenty-two. It is the supposed to be marriageable age between me and Luke. Instead, I am just going to Celebrate my birthday. I suddenly felt that I am not actually being productive lately. I wanted to explore. A letter from the North arrived and it is written that Silvester will be coming and Corra is the one who is going to stay behind in the North. Is this even happening?
Silvester will be my escort for my birthday. We also invited the Azure, Luke said that he will come to my birthday. Suddenly, for the first time in my life I am looking forward for my coming birthday.
