Chereads / STEEL, BLOOD AND LOVE / Chapter 9 - Who are you?

Chapter 9 - Who are you?

The lights of the morning shine in Theodore's room. The birds are singing outside, the sky is blue as ever and everyone wonders where Theodore is. Lord Bloodhearth is in his bed, sleeping, naked. Beside him is a blue haired woman, with beautiful dark black eyes. She is also fully naked. She looks with her dark eyes at him sleeping.

Both of their clothes are on the floor. Her clothing also has some armor pads on it.

"Wake up my lord" she said. Theodore doesn't budge. "She kisses him and the touch of the kiss scares him. He opened his eyes and saw a woman in his bed. Theodore jumps out of his bed and ends up on the floor. "Who are you?"

She gets up on the bed. Theodore looks at her chest then at her face and his eyes make this movement for a couple of times. "I said: who are you?" She tilts her head. "I am Seraphine, your god given servant!" The blue haired woman said. "WHAT!" Theodore screams, everyone in his castle hears this and heads to his room.

"Stand back, I'll take down the door." Said someone with a muffled voice. The voice is opened in one hit of a leg and Rinehart enters the door seeing the woman and Theodore both naked. "I guess the little lord had fun last night!" He laughed at his joke. "I woke up with her in my bed." The girl gets out of bed and dresses up. "My name is Seraphine, I am the god given servant of Theodore Bloodheart. I was sent by The Goddess of Victory Nara"

Rinehart and everyone behind him windes their eyes and all scream: "What?"

Theodore acts unfazed, he is happy that the gods have chosen him, but he doesn't want the others to think his emotions take over, his face turns back to normal. He gets up and looks at Rinehart. "Did my new suit arrive?"

Rinehart nods. "But it disappeared a few hours ago." Seraphina brings out a navy blue suit with the support of one armed person. "I already took it here. Now everyone gets out, my lord is taking his clothes on.

Everyone leaves the room except her. "I am here to help." Theodore takes the suit from her. He puts his underwear on him. He wanders something. "How did my pants and underwear stay on the floor?" Theodore asked. He grabs the suit pants and slowly puts the legs in them. "I undressed you so you will not feel that uncomfortable of me being naked."

Theodore looks at her with his pants still down. "Why were you naked?" Theodore pulls the pants up. Seraphine said nothing about why she undressed herself, but her face was all red. "I have a belt in my wardrobe. Can you go and get it?" She goes into his wardrobe and takes out 2 variations.

"You want navy blue to match directly the color or cream?" Theodore takes the blue one from her hands and inserts it through the gaps. "Can you help me? I can't reach…" He said with a bit of whine in his tone. She smiling comes to aid him, she goes with the other gaps and then closes the belt for a comfortable and well placed belt.

"Do you need help with the shirt?" She asked. Theodore has done this before, but now he wants her to help him, he nods and she picks up the shirt and slowly gets his left hand through.

"Is it ok to tell me what happened to your hand?" She sat in the right hand in a tailor made pocket for it and started closing the buttons. He looks at her. "Me and my father planned to go in the neighboring kingdom to a family we knew for a long time."

Theodore remembers the moments before he lost his hand. He remembers how his hand vanished in thin air. Images of him holding the folder in the right hand flash before his eyes. He starts hyperventilating. "I~ I think I am having a panic " He tries to control his breathing. Seraphine hugs him. "It's gonna be ok." Theodore pushes her away. "Thanks for" He takes a deep breath. "Trying to help." His breathing starts to turn to normal. "It happened faster this time, I'm getting better at this."

"I am your god given servant. I will always be here to help." Theodore smiles. "Help me take the rest of the suit." She grabs a brown vest and helps him put it on. "How did you get dressed before?" Theodore blushes. "Well, I can dress myself, but I like when you help." Seraphine smiles. The last pieces on the suit were a tie, a medal that was written on it survivor and a pocket watch the the Goddess of victory imprinted on it.

Theodore helps himself with the tie. He tights it and inserts it inside the suit. He notices he doesn't have pockets outside, he looks inside the jacket and sees 13 pockets. He chuckled. 'You took care of everything, didn't you?' He said in his mind, referring to his tailor. He puts the medal on the desk and prepares to head out.

"Done?" Seraphine asked. Theodore gives a tiny nod of his head forward. "Let's go." They move down the stairs. Downstairs everyone whispered and gossip about Theodore. "How is he gonna rule us? He is just a kid." "Shh he might hear you." He passes through the gossip.

At the end of the hallway he looks back at his servants.

"If I was in your place I would've been afraid to not talk." He trunks back to the door.

" Or I would've lost my job." He leaves them behind, all of them looking afraid.
