Liana came out of the bathroom wrapped in the huge bathrobe.
"Gerald I don't want to complain but this place needs renovations," she said.
"It's just my room 'cause I haven't been here long," he said.
Liana noticed two maids standing at the door holding some things. They were staring at her and it made her look down at herself.
"Who are they?" she asked.
"Xavier's maids, he sent them here " Gerald whispered.
"And why are they here, did he send me something?"
"When he asked to see you, I told him you had nothing to wear or even knew how to put them on. So that's why they are here " he said.
Liana walked up to the maids," Morning, am sorry to have to bother you " she said.
"It's our pleasure serving you our Lady," they said.
Liana giggled and turned back to Gerald, "Why are they calling me that, you can just call me Liana " she said.
The two maids nodded, and Gerald walked to the door.
"You two take care of her after bringing her to the eastern garden, "he said.
" Yes, Sir Seul " they replied.
"All the best, Liana," he said getting out.
...
"Oh my God, do these dresses have to be so tight? My baby might pop out even before it matures " Liana cursed as the two maids pulled on the dress strings.
"Almost there, my lady " one said.
"Please call me Liana, that lady stuff just adds to my pain," she said.
"Put this one Miss Liana," the maid said.
"So many layers, will I be able to breathe," Liana said as they put on her shoes.
"You look wonderful " they smiled.
"I look different" Liana laughed.
They led her to the garden as told by Gerald.
"I didn't expect this place to be this lovely," she said walking through the huge garden.
"What did you expect, Miss Liana?"
Liana laughed, "Ahh, fire and darkness everywhere, spirits wandering but not gardens and a blue sky with normal-looking human beings "
"These are just skins we wear not to displease the Queen. When she first got here the King did everything she said including changing how the underworld looked " the maids said.
"Hmm, then he not as fierce as he claims if his wife controls him "
"The king loved the Queen so much that there is nothing he would not do for her," they said.
Liana smirked, "Then she will be my only way out of here alive "
"We are here " they pointed at a fountain where Xavier was seated.
She thanked them and walked to where he was.
"I thought you didn't want to see me again," she said.
Xavier turned to see her take a seat next to him.
His eyes moved over her and Liana blinked. The white dress with red details made her hair look darker.
"What? my outfit is not to your taste, even after being tortured to wear it " she frowned her red lips pouting.
"No...you look heavenly " he found himself saying then looked away.
Liana stared at him, Xavier was never good with words that described how lovely she looked. His favorite word was, heavenly and only he used to say it to her.
Liana scowled, "I thought you didn't remember" she muttered.
