" Can I call you Ray ? "
"What?"
"Raak-h-sh - that's a bit difficult to say" Ayla asked the maid as the existed the room.
" Aya you can call me whatever you like" rakhsee smiled and started chatting.
The same corridor where she was dragged last night was now filled with sunlight and faint morning chill in the mountains. The freshness of the morning improved her mood.
" This is the third floor of the mansion. Thats the Kalaghan mountain is in the front. That's where our ancestors lived. The greatest of Khans. "
Rakhshe' started expalining. Every hallway, corridor and even the dining room had either big glass windows or just massive balconies. They passed the floors and reached the ground floor. It merely consisted of lounges where guests are greeted. Ayla was fine before in the third floor because there weren't many people. But they moved downwards, some shawl clothed servant girls and middle-aged women caught her attention. They also tried to peek at her while working. The reality that hardly escaped her mind started coming back to her.
"There are only five floors here and even the servants are not much. The male staff or the security they guard outside the fortress and the rest is left to secret guards. Even without the security, no one can lay a finger on him."
Little rakhsee was extremely proud of her land and it's Khan. It was cute.
" You know our Khan is very powerful. Some say he is the strongest of his bloodline. But he doesn't like lavishness or luxury that much. But maybe because Khan is still unmarried, many customs have been omitted. I wonder when he'll get married though, most of the Khan's get married before enthronement. "
Ayla was observing the dewan Khana(guest rooms ), when the topic suddenly shifted towards that man.
She couldn't help thinking why did he brought her back. Even if he is telling the truth about her parents, still there has to be some kind of agenda involved. Just what does he want.
'I'll have to talk to him again'
Talking about that where is he? His office?
"By the way, what does your Khan actually do? " Ayla asked rakhsee as they entered the gardens.
"Huh what??" Question marks appeard on the maid's face.
Ayla turned around with her back to the entrance and started explaining.
" I mean professionally. Is he a CEO or like mafia ? Or is he a landlord? Don't tell me he's just a useless lord who orders his people around and eats while sitting his ancestors wealth. " She started rambling and at the end spoke disdainfully.
Oblivious of the man who had just entered the residence and now listening to his wife's views about himself.
