"It's Lady Penelope, the head of the maid in this castle and I have been assigned to put you through"
"Good day lady Penelope" I bowed.
Master has instructed you should be taught how and where to serve him. First of all, you need to change your clothes".
"Follow me."
I quickly followed her down the corridors as I kept feeding my curiosity and surprise by the beautiful designs of the castle. I almost forgot that I had lady Penelope with me
" you need to stop staring like that Vanessa, the master scolds everyone " lady Penelope mumble still looking for the perfect skirt for me ".
" I know lady Penelope, am sorry" I murmured.
" The master did say he pardon you for your rude behaviours yesterday, he hates it when one talks back to him. Ok" nodding, Penelope smiled.
" don't worry about that then, you have to be careful next time"
" but you know lady Penelope, the master shouldn't have raised his voice at me " Penelope stop what she was doing and place her full attention on me " you have heard of big arse privilege right " this however made her laugh " what's funny, my arse is big isn't it?"
" it is Vanessa "
" is the privilege not working?" pouting my lips lady Penelope move closer in my direction with the new skirt that I will be using.
" maybe the master didn't see your backside then " smile handing them over to me.
" stop thinking about that, just do things right from now on okay" nodding she purred;
" put that on while I give you your schedules for this week and by next week you will meet me for a change of duty "
" alright lady Penelope "
When she walks away I take off my skirt and put on the new one, long enough to my knee which is a good thing, taking off my heels I put on the black sneakers then exhale " here is the schedule "
" Thanks, I will get to it now " walking out of lady Penelope room I open the book and smile, my first duty written in bold letters :
TAKE CARE OF THE MATERS PETS, FEED THEM.
"He has a pet, didn't picture him to have one and Penelope didn't show me that yesterday" I move to the living room, and thankfully someone is there for me to ask the location of his pets.
" excuse me " the maid has blond short hair, blue eyes, and a nice pointed nose, she is pretty.
" was wondering where the master pets are kept?"
" behind the servants changing room," she smiles.
" be careful"
And after that she turn around and went back to cleaning the walls which are very clean by the way, still don't know why he has so many maids, Shaking my head I turn around and head to the pet's location.
Everybody seems to be working, five in the kitchen, preparing food, washing dishes, cleaning the floor and wall… three in the living room, two cutting and watering the flowers, five sweeping the compound then me moving to the master pets to feed them.
"are they beautiful dogs?? If they are I will love to touch them.
Approaching the location I stare at the cage then two buckets outside, that must be their food, moving closer I look inside the bucket and gasp, dead bodies, human hands, legs, thigh, heart and other parts are also kept in the bucket.
Stepping back I look around me, my mind wandering to a different place.
" being punished means death?
"What is he doing with human bodies and what's in that cage?
Moving closer I mumble " come out for food " and at that three huge wolves came into view, resulting in me stepping back and hitting a huge figure.
you don't need to tell me who that is before I will know " master??"
Stepping away I turn around and look at him, he is dressed in his army uniform, hair combed neatly and eyes watching.
" feed it " what he said made me cringe, how am I supposed to touch these dead bodies, I can't do it, I will feel sick, fall sick and then maybe die.
Alexander said nothing more, he remain standing and watch different emotions play in her face, she is scared of dead bodies, fears my pet and fears me which will not really help if I want her by my side.
For years I thought that it wasn't successfully and then suddenly I found one, leaving me the stress to start another search for another one.
One thing is certain, she needs to be taught certain things, she talks a lot, is clumsy, looks stubborn, dress weirdly " feed it Vanessa " I repeat myself and this time her heartbeat increase, so loud and fast that I can hear it from where am standing.
" they are human bodies master " she shutter while swallowing " how am I supposed to touch that…
" why can't you " furrowing my brows I look at her, she uses her hand to clean an imaginary sweat from her forehead.
" come "
when that left my mouth she look up at me with shock mixed with fear.
" I hate repeating myself Vanessa, come "
She moves slowly in my direction then stand an inch away from me
" I am heading to my army and before I return I want my pet feed and my room clean " her gaze placed down.
" cleaning my room is in your schedule isn't it "
I watch her check the tiny book then nod.
" good "
dipping my hands in my pocket I take out a beautiful necklace I bought after laying eyes on her yesterday " turn around "when she turns around I lift her brown hair before putting the necklace around her neck " do not take it off"
" why?" She turn around, looking confused
" you're not allowed to ask me questions Vanessa " tilting my head to my left I study her carefully, she still look beautiful, just the way she was.
" But I will answer this because it suits you " and with that, I turn around and walk away.
On my way out I decided to give her one last glance only to find her vomiting after throwing one flesh to my pet, she is too humanly for my likening, turning around I head to my carriage, step in and shut the door.
" to my army "
" yes sir "
A human flesh should mean nothing to her but then she is human now and that only means I have to change her from that completely, I can't imagine myself staying with such a weak creature.
Humans are like cows you can push wherever you want, even if they train in combat, sword fighting and the rest, they are weak and it still surprises me why we don't just cage them up, make them servants to do our bidding and kill them when we are fade up with their behaviour and clumsy ways.
Vanessa needs serious training, training concerning everything, walking, speaking, behaving and most of all.
pleasing me.
" that is no way to treat a lady, Alexander " Xavier, mumble with a laugh.
" she was shivering with fear "
" how many times have I warned you not to stick your nose in my business " turning my gaze to my left I growl at him.
" I also remember telling you to stop appearing in my car as you wish "
" cool down Lucian, am just saying… She won't learn but fear you if you keep acting this way towards her "
" that's none of your business "
averting my gaze I relax and close my eyes;
" she is mine, I do to her how I wish"…
