Beatrice finished with her bath and wore the dress the maid had brought.
It looked beautiful on her and made her color glow.
She drained the water and headed for the door.
"Milady?" Lola called back and Beatrice turned to see the girl smiling.
"Hmm?"
l
"It was nice being your maid even for an hour." The maid said, to have Beatrice smile.
"Thank you so much as well, Lola, it was nice," Beatrice said and turned around and headed for the table.
Passing the so many hallways, she finally found her sister and the other ladies sitting at the table.
"Ha, how long did it take you to clean a little spot, Beatrice?" Mel asked, with a frown.
"You did that intentionally dear sister, and I will surely retaliate."
"Never thought my sister was such a vengeful person, what happened to karma?" Mel asked, with a smirk.
Beatrice snorted, taking her seat.
"Pardon me Milady's, I was held back there."
"Did you take your bath, Lady Beatrice? You smell like you just came out of the bath?" Lady Herbert asked as she sniffed the air.
"Very so." Lady Yuan replied, eating her food quietly.
"Yes, I just happened to find a maid and she helped me with my bath in a guest room." Beatrice lied.
There was no way, she'd tell them that she had just left the Lord's room and she had used the Lord's bath.
They would look at her as if she had grown horns, or maybe she was one of those ladies that flock around the Lord to gain favor.
She was a Cold-blooded Vampire, not a flicker.
"Guest room? You mean she took you to the last rooms at the West wing?" Lady Yuan asked, with a frown.
"How dare she? You're not a stranger and...
"No need Milady, not at the West wing, maybe I made a mistake. But since I'm already clean I think there's no need to call the maid here." Beatrice said, hurriedly ad she dismissed the topic.
"Oh, okay then."
"I wonder what the Lords are doing? Speaking of the Lord..." Lady Herbert said, turning to the girl that sat quietly.
"Lady Isabella."
"Hmm." She answered, raising her eyes to look up at the woman.
Her eyes got to Beatrice and she lowered them.
"Seems she's avoiding eye contact with you dear sister," Mel whispered.
Although the whisper was heard by everybody sitting at the table.
Beatrice sighed, glaring at her sister that had no mouth control.
"Sorry Lady Isabella, my dear sister Melinda has no mouth control, hence she talks carelessly." Beatrice said, to have the other women laugh.
Mel rolled her eyes, putting a steak into her mouth as she glared at her sister.
The huge clock at the front of the mansion gave a loud tick sound, showing that it was passed midnight
"Ha, it is past midnight Lady Herbert. We have stayed more than we've been welcomed into the Lord's mansion." Mel said, staring at the huge clock.
"Hmm, we've been deceived by the lights of the mansion." Lady Herbert said, with a smile.
"I wonder if the Lord would be so kind to lend us two guest rooms?" Mel asked.
"It is not a question, I'll show you all to your rooms soon." Lady Yuan said with a smile.
She stood up and left the table.
"It seems like Lady Yuan is close with the Lord," Beatrice said, and Lady Herbert nodded.
"As I said before, she is like a younger sister to the Lord." Lady Herbert answered to have Beatrice give a faint smile.
"But why do I perceive sometimes fishy between her and Alpha Zane, Pardon me with my choice of words but they do act fishy," Mel said.
"Hmm." Lady Herbert hummed and looked away.
"Oh, here is the Lord's."
"Lord Niklaus." Beatrice gave a bow to the man that had red eyes.
"Hmm."
"It is time we leave, I will have that word with you once we meet again Beatrice, till then..be well." The Lord said, smiling at her.
She smiled back and nodded.
Going to the lady that had sat quietly with them, The Lord of Bathon took her by the hand, and off they left the castle.
"Milord, Lady Yuan has gone to prepare a room for us." Lady Herbert said, and Lord Wolfarine nodded.
"Which wing had she gone to do that?"
"The South wing."
"Hmm." The Lord nodded, walking past them.
"Does the Lord say anything other than hum?" Mel asked, shaking her head.
"I think so," Beatrice mumbled, knowing fully well how peaceful the Lord could be.
"The room is ready." Lady Yuan said, to have the rest headed for the wing their room had been prepared.
Beatrice didn't like the fact that she would be sleeping in the Lord's mansion.
What if...
'Ha Beatrice, there shouldn't be a what if till you're leaving this place.' She thought.
"Oh wow! It's quite fancy." Mel said, looking at the room.
"We'll have to sleep in one room Ladies," she said as she he for the fourth bed near the wall.
"Hmm, thank God we're using the same room," Mel said as she hurried to the second bed while Beatrice took the other.
"Hmm, why do I have to take the third bed, it doesn't look that fancy like that or Melissa..oh pardon me, Melinda." Herbert pouted.
"Ha Herbert, if it is the bed then I am sure to comply if you want it," Mel said with a smile.
"For what condition?" Herbert asked with a narrowed look.
"Tell me more about the Duke. Remember that man we met at the..."
"You mean Lord Niklaus's younger brother?" Herbert asked, and Mel nodded.
"Hmm, didn't know someone caught your fancy Melinda." Herbert winked at her.
"Ha, please..it is more of handsomeness than fanciness," Melinda said to have Beatrice snort.
"Hmm."
"What about you Beatrice, did anyone catch you? Or did you catch anyone?"
