It was early in the morning, and Drac had woken up and was already working, ordering the workers around to clean up the castle. Most of the repairs and the work that needed to be done was over. Today was the last day for these workers, and today they will set off to the capital again.
Drac seeing some workers manhandling a sofa yelled, “If I saw one foot of that mahogany chair get a scratch, I will see to it your family members would starve to death,”
His voice was enough to scare the workers. It was then he heard someone clearing their throat from behind him, he turned around to see Samantha, Henry’s wife standing behind him, “Yes, what do you need?” he said softly, but with authority.
“I need to talk about the slob that you have harboring in the castle,” she said.
“Can this wait?” he knew what exactly what she was talking about. And he didnt want to indulge in the conversation, just yet.
“No, it cannot,” she said with resolve, and rather loudly. Her voice was enough for both soldiers and workers to raise their eyes, but they all knew better than to dwindle.
He nodded and then gestured for her to follow him.
Drac took her to a small room used to put away cleaning supplies. He opened the door, and gestured her to get in, “I am not going in there..” She said with hesitation, “With you no less,”
What kind of reputation have I harbored, He thought. He simply didnt care about her opinion, grabbed her blouse, and pulled her in.
Closing the door behind them, he looked at her with authority, “Speak your mind now,” It was then that he noticed he had accidentally opened the lace of her blouse. Flustered, she clutched her heavy assets and with a quivering voice asked, “What are.. We.. Here?”
“I am not your husband. Relax, lace was an accident,” he said, “Speak your mind,”
She looked rather nervous, she turned around and started tying her lace again. With her back towards him, she spoke, “Me and Tilly are doing most of the work around the kitchen. That slob Jina has not been doing anything, since her accursed son ran away. I dont know for how long we would be able to do this. We will leave if you dont do anything in the matter,”
She finally turned around and looked at him with resolve in her eyes. While he looked at her, mocking her whole existence, “What the fuck are you talking about?” he just asked, “Leave? This place? Nah… You cannot,”
“You will stop us?”
“I dont have to. I know what is going on in your and your daughter’s life. I know that Henry abandoned you guys here, ever since the massacre took place. Now, if you were to leave, I wonder how many noble houses out there are willing to hire you guys?”
“We know our worth,” she said.
“Your worth is nothing. Even if you go out there, wanting to be hired, who the fuck would hire you when you say that you left Sumor Castle? Which noble or a merchant would want to hire two maids, who left the Marquis’s service, just because they couldnt handle some work pressure,”
“But we are doing all the work,”
He then took a step forward and went right to her face, “Jina used to do everything before you and your daughter came along. So suck up. That woman had just lost her son, give her some space,”
Drac was so close to her face, that their nose was just hair length away from touching. He figured that getting close to her would scare her, and make her follow his authority. What he didnt expect was, that she took this as an invitation.
Suddenly he found her lips interwined with his, while her hands grabbed his face and made him come closer.
It lasted for a few seconds, but then she let him go. She was in bliss while looking at his confused face, and soon her face that into that of a flustered woman.
“Excuse me,” she said and started going past him. But he put his hands on the way, and said, “We are done yet,”
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
She still tried to run, but he pulled her blouse from the back and made her stand in front of her. Once again, the laces of her blouse became undone, yet this time she didnt shy away. She let her assets show and maintained constant eye contact with him.
“Samantha, you are the only senior maid in the castle, right now. Something is about to happen, and we will need you in this castle, very urgently. You and your daughter. I dont know anything about your issues with your husband, but I really need you to pull through for me. I need you both here.. This could be the new start for both of you, away from a husband that used to beat you,”
She looked surprised that he knew that. The reality was, he knew it because he used to keep an eye on the man’s affairs. And she doesn't really need to know that, “Now.. Please, pull your act together. You are going to be a head maid of a castle, and Sumor Castle no less.”
“Head maid,” she asked.
“Yes. If everything works out fine, you will be the head maid. I will make sure of that,”
A small smile bloomed on her face, “I will do my best,”
“Another thing,” he came close to her face, “If you want to get fucked, by me.. All you need to do is just ask,” He then went to her ears, “I will fuck you so hard, that you will have trouble walking for at least a day or two,”
He took a step back, to see her crimson-red face. He nodded at her, and then exited the room, leaving her behind…
That evening, he stood by the main door of the castle, looking at the sun setting in the distance. He was thinking about what happened today with Samantha. There was a part of him, that wanted him to take her then and there. For the past few days, he had been feeling exceptionally horny, because of his teenage hormones. It was really hard for him to control himself, but he did because he had a bigger fish to fry right now.
He heard footsteps and looked back. He saw that Samantha, along with her daughter Till, and Jina had come. He nodded to them, and then they all waited. Soon all the soldiers present in the castle, along with Greg were present before him.
“Is everyone here?” he asked Greg.
The man nodded, “Yes, everyone is here. Now, could to care us, why did you order the soldiers patrolling the castle grounds also to return? What is this thing that you really want to talk to us about?”
He nodded, “I asked you all here because there are some changes about to occur in the castle in a few days. And I wanted to know, who amongst you are going to be part of it,”
“What do you mean?” Jina asked.
He looked at them all, in the eyes, “This is the chance for every one of you. If someone wants to leave and go back to their families, they could go. Let me tell you something, if someone decides to stay in the castle to work, only Lord Itab would tell when they would get a chance to go home. It may take months, it may take years,”
“What is going to happen?” one of the soldiers asked.
“Something,” he replied, “I only to reveal the thing to people who would be staying here… Also, I want to add. All the soldiers would be releaved from their duties. And they would have to work as normal servants of the house during this time period,”
“Releaved of their duty?” Greg questioned, “These guys are soldiers. Not common servants. And why would you let the soldiers go, who would mind the castle? If the servants are what you need, I think we can send a letter to Henry…”
He cut off Greg there and then, “No. As I said, this offer is for the people who are already in the castle. No one else. We are not going to get new servants, we are going to use the people that we already have,”
“Is it something that Lord Sumor had ordered,” Greg asked.
“Cannot say. But the upcoming days would be very important for the castle. And I am not interested in using any outside help. I trust you guys. Which is why, I am giving you this opportunity. For soldiers, you would be paid the same as servants, there would be no more patrolling. All you need to do is follow my lead or head maid Samantha’s lead,”
Samantha nodded, looking a little faltered for his remark. No one moved, so he asked again, “Those who dont want to be a servant can go back to Sumor Keep. But will not be able to stay in the castle anymore. So is there anyone who wants to leave?”
Nobody moved, making him nod, “Good. Now let me tell you all something.. The thing that I am going to reveal to you all, if you were to let it slip to anyone, who is not present in the room… You will be hunted down as the enemy of the Sumor Family to the ends of hell,”
Nobody moved, “Good… There are some guests coming to the castle. They are not just any guests, they are the personal guests of Mistress Mikaila. One of the guests would be Master Kaisel, the teacher of Mistress Mikaila. While the rest of them are the wives of Master Kaisel. They are all mana wielders, who have the power to destroy any house of the kingdom. And I really mean any house of the kingdom,”
They all looked at each other, some surprised, some shocked, “It is our job that entertain them. For how long they would stay, what is their purpose, I dont know nor did I ask. We would have to entertain them as long as they are in here. And in no way or form, should this information get leaked outside. Do you understand?”
They all nodded, so he continued, “These people’s presence could really upset the delicate political structure of the kingdom, which is why Mistress had insisted that we keep a very tight lid on this matter. So do your job, and keep your mouth shut. Do you understand?”
They all nodded, “I have been promised, that every one of the people who decided to stay would be paid very heavily once this is over. So you could look forward to that,” this made a smile bloom on everyone’s face.
Before he could continue, they all heard a voice, “IS ANYONE THERE! OPEN THE GATE!” Drac looked at the main gate of the castle, thinking who the hell was there…
