💀*INHUMANGROOM *💀
- - - - -
I raised my hand to Shield my eyes from the light sneaking through the window as the curtains flapped occasionally, the room looked beautiful with the morning light, last night memories came back to me and I exhaled.
I sat up on the bed saw that I wasn't alone in the room, a woman who looked around her early thirties dropped some sheets into the wardrobe.
"Good morning milady, am Evelyn. As from today I will be seeing to everything you want."
She bowed,
"The bath is ready milady, you should get ready before breakfast. His highness will be joining you this morning ",
I wasn't in the mood to see him this morning, but from the looks of it, she was told to let me know he would be joining me.
I stood to my feet,and another lady walked out of the bathroom smiling,
"Milady..your bath "
"And you are??.."
She looked young and skinny, her uniform was barely covering her tights. Was this how they were dressed or am I the only one finding it too odd.
"Milady..", Evelyn also walked out the bathroom with the steam behind her before shutting the door
"Preale and I will help you with your bath ",
"No need once am done bathing I will call you both"
"My lady,please let us help you it's our duty to prepare you"
"Then I relieve you of this duty, am not comfortable with you two bathing me. "
I could see how they were trying so hard to control the little anger in their eyes, I was stressing them and it was telling on them but they still had that obviously fake smile plastered on their faces.
Bathing was something I did on my own, why would I let them see me totally naked and touch every inch of my body in the name of a bath.
"Would you be comfortable if one of us help you with your bath??" , evelyn asked.
I nod and she gave Preale a sign and she left .
"You don't expect me to let you stare while I undress. a little privacy "
She turned around and went into the bathroom with a white bottle.
I walked into the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my chest and the rose fragrance from the bathtub filled my nose.
The sparkling marble bathtub could contain four grown men, making it huge.
The glasses walls exposed the bathroom to the beautiful garden around.
"Milady you do have a beautiful body and face. No wonder you don't want others to take a look at you", She said ,while I blushed.
I got dressed in a rich red dress with gold embroidered reaching abit below my knee and adorned with jewelleries to complement the dress. A natural makeup, perfume and I was done.
"If I may say milady you look lovely "
"Thanks Evelyn"

"Good morning your highness...."
The maids bowed and greeted as I walked into the red garden, I had requested my bride to join me this morning and still no sign of her, memories of last night brought a smirk dancing on my lips.
Gordon my personal guard moved ahead and drew a seat for me.
Lady Yvonne, standing behind me signaled the maids and guards to clear out since the meal was a private one without any of the staff around.
"Yvonne.."
"Milord.."
"Where is my bride??"
She poured me a glass of wine and bowed,
"She is on here way , what else do you need Milord. "
"That will be all for now "
She stepped back standing next to Gordon. The wine served on my table were different from the usual, no one was welcome to drink from it.
Taking the third glass of wine, Gordon walked up to me with concern.
"Milord it's daylight and your bride would be here any moment , I will keep the wine for later", saying that Yvonne took it and placed into a wooden box she held in her hand. Probably regretting pouring me the wine in the first place,
I chuckled, two idiots did they really think I don't have control over my appetite.
"Milord she's here", Gordon whispered to me as I heard the foot steps coming into the garden.
I almost forgot to breathe as she walked to the table, the red dress graced her body like a second skin, revealing her curves slightly.
Her brown eyes hiding behind those long eyelashes shyly, she bit her lower cherry red lip I guess it was a habit of hers, if she really knew what it meant. Beautiful as expected.
She bowed, "Good morning Milord, I apologise if I kept you waiting.."
"No need for formalities, seat"
Holding little conversations was not in my list , I preferred not speaking but gesturing. But speaking with her this morning was necessary.
She was scared I could feel it and she tried hard to control it.
Yvonne began serving the meal refusing the help from the maid who stood next to Clara [my bride] , she did her thing always by herself,making her look abit grumpy.
"How was your journey to the capital, hope you didn't experience any problems. "
"No Milord.. but I wasn't comfortable travelling with a blindfold. "
"Really, but that's what makes the journey relaxing. "
"okay.....",her reply was short,trying to cut the conversation short.
She looked up and our eyes met, so beautiful, she coughed clearing her throat.
"May....can I eat now Milord ",
"If you feel like it ".
She nod and ate, her slender fingers grabbed the cutlery cutting and biting, swallowing and licking her lip like it had traces of honey on them .
"About last night..."
She raised her head up and dabbed her lips with the napkin.
"You didn't give a positive answer or you prefer my suggestion?"
She looked surprised,
"Do we have t..to...to speak of that now, here",
"Of course my wife "
Her faces almost red as a tomatoe, shy from the presence of others. I wasn't planning on talking about that, her reply were off-limits to others ears, maybe teasing her abit to get a response would be worth it.
"In public..Milord "
"Yvonne and Gordon are family, the two of them shouldn't make you feel exposed to public. "
If her face was earlier red as a tomatoe, now it was twice it's colour, she was too sensitive.
"Let's eat now and talk later"
"Hmm"
She replied and began eating, it was really satisfying watching her suck, bite and lick as she ate.
"Your highness.."
Turning to see Eddar, the city Knight eyes walk into the garden.
His uniform covered in blood like he was soaked in a pool of blood, and holding a beating heart in his right hand, who let him in.
"Milady " Clara was already throwing up into a flower Bush by the side, the scene was horrible for her.
"Milord I bring you honour.." he held
it up and began feasting on the pound of beating flesh in his hand,
"Milady..." with the second cry of the maid my eyes widened on seeing Clara laying on the floor.
"Of all place Eddar you chose to display your disgusting honour at the breakfast table of his majesty.!!!!.." Gordon yelled at the imbecile who was kneeling with his blood drenched uniform.
He reached for his sword and I placed my hand over his.
"Let the man be Gordon "
"But Milord he created a scene infront of her lady...."
"You wish to go against my words Gordon?"
He bowed quickly, "I would never think of such Milord.."
"Good, Yvonne "
"Yes Milord "
"Make sure my bride is taken care of and stay by her side till she wakes, its a horrible thing "
"Yes Milord "
....
"Eddar, we should discuss of this honour you've brought me "
"Y...ye..yes Milord "
If he really wasn't an imbecile he would have begged for his head to remain on his shoulders, the nerve of him to disrupt a moment like this.
Somewhere in the south lands
The sound of metals clicking and the sharpening of swords were heard.
The men were in their casuals, laughing and drinking near the bonfire.
"General Gerald....."
Everyone got on one knee as the man in his all full armour marched into the camp on his rare spotless white horse.
The flag of the south crest was behind him, waving both ways.
Besides him was a man on a dark horse , both of them emitting a dark aura.
He got down and walked close to the half drunk men on their knees.
"Who is in charge of this unit?"
His voice came out in rich manliness and dominance.
"That would be me sir..."
One of the men stood to his feet with his head still bowed , he stood out from the rest with his sturdy physique and bold stand.
"Indeed, what's your name "
"My name is Callan sir, director of the fourth unit of the South army, scorpion".
"I believe you've received a letter from his Lord on my arrival "
"Yes sir"
"Then lead me to my quarter."
"Right this way sir."
They walked through the camp, the fact that he was in the mist of the south's strongest force brought a smile crawling up to his lips.
"If I had known that you would be coming earlier than the predicted time I would have come up with something bigger General. "
They got to a huge pitched red and gold tent, with the army's flag hanging from above, it was the biggest.
"It's a war camp not a place of comfort, get me the account of the camp and the news on the last event on the borders. "
He bowed and turned to leave when he noticed the man behind the general.
"Should I'll prepare a tent for him as well..."
"No need, he stays with me. This tent is more than enough for two, now leave and get what I asked for. "
"Yes general "
He saluted for the umpteenth time and left.
They both walk into the tent and took off their helmets, tossing it away.
Revealing the general's companion as a striking handsome blond man with a frown on his face.
"Adam...am really getting tired of this"
Gerald said as he slums into the cushion by the side.
He said referring to the blonde man.
"We just got here with you posing as general and you're talking about getting tired, we have work to do.
Remember the real reason we are here".
"It's impossible to forget, but how long do you think it will take your brother to get news about you."
Adam walked to the table and gulped the water in a silver goblet.
"Don't worry about that, concentrate on gathering information as the general of scorpion and leave the rest to me."
"Whatever, but don't think of working me to the bones it won't work well with this game".
"Uhhh...you will get something out of this so be happy you are even playing this game.
Am still wondering what his amazing LORD OF THE EAST is up to
