Martha when woke up the next day, she felt a hand wrapped around her waist. She also felt that she was spooning against someone. It took her a few seconds to realize where she was, and who was the person. But after she did, she sighed with relief. Gently she put the hand aside and pushed away the bed sheet.

As she stood up, she gazed at the young master Adui. The man was sleeping soundly before her.

Damn it! I thought we would do the deed yesterday. She cursed herself, I will make sure that we will do it today. No matter what.

It was very essential for her to do the deed, and make that man fall in love with her. She knew that the man before him was very intelligent, and honorable. She knew that if she had to snag a good life for her, she would have to get married to that man. Under, any cost.

When she came to the manor to work as a maid, she dreamed of a good life. A life where she would be working for all powerful nobles. But the dream was soon shattered when she realized how powerless she was. She was used by the Patriarch of the family, and even the old Hubert used her. She thought that this would be her destiny forever. But then Adui started falling for her, which changed everything.

Maids started getting jealous that Adui was showing so much love to her. That man was an idiot in everyone's eyes but was a noble nonetheless. But she knew the truth, of what kind of man Adui really was. She didnt care whether Adui became like this because of the grace of Lord Itab, or by the work of the Devil. She just knew that if she were to become his, then she would live a good life.

She might not have a large manor, like the Hampshire's, but she would have a good house. She had heard that educated people are very well paid when compared to peasants like her parents.

This would not work. I need to do something now.

It is then she decided what she needs to do. She quickly lose all of her clothes and went back to bed. She snuggled close to Adui, making sure her ample breasts were pressing hard on his chest.

He didnt immediately wake up. But he did wrap her closely. Smiling inwardly, one of her hands slithered to his pants like a snake. Entering his pants, she started stroking his dick, making it rock hard. It was then Adui opened his eyes gently, it took him a moment to understand what exactly was going on, but then his eyes widened with surprise. He tried to get away from her, but she didnt let him. She came even close to him.

"Ma… Martha.." His voice quivered, "What are… what are you doing?" Swallowing hard, he then asked, "And why are you naked?"

She passed him a warm smile, "I am feeling very naughty.." She said, she then came close to his lips, and whispered, "I have a fire inside of me. And only you can extinguish it."

"But…"

But she shushed him, "Just follow my lead," she kissed his lips, "Touch my breasts. Hold them, knead them… Play with them," Slowly he moved his hands and touched them.

Through his heartbeat, and shaking hands she understood what she was dealing with. She understood that Adui might have gained intelligence due to the accident, but when it comes to these kinds of matters, he was just an amateur. This would make it very easy for her to gain his attention and wrap him around her fingers…

Adui's rough hands when cupped her hands, and she moaned with pleasure, making his dick twitch. It took him some time to get the feel of it, but he then slowly started to knead them.

"Suck on them," she whispered. Like a loyal dog, he then went down and started sucking on her breasts. Slowly he started using his tongue and started biting her down there. She then pushed the bed sheet aside and let him have a look at her whole naked body. Adui while sitting on the bed, looked at her body with amazement.

"Now shall we start?" she said, and he then started to take off his clothes…

***

Most of the day they stayed in the inn, and fucked like bunnies. Adui was shy at first, but after some time he took charge, and poured so much into her that would have definitely become pregnant if it weren't for the contraceptive herb that she took before the trip. Which meant that if they fucked like even for a week, she wouldn't get pregnant.

This narrative has been purloined without the author's approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.

A part of her did want to get pregnant by Adui, the child between them would have forced him to marry her. Even her maid's friends suggested the idea to her, but she was against it. She thought while that would have been easy for her to entrap him, there was a chance that he might think that this was not his child. And who could blame the guy, he had seen her with his father.

She wanted to have a good relationship with him in the future, where there were no doubts in his mind about her. This is why she was so against this idea…

After they had properly rested, once again they left the inn during the evening to attend the festival. Today was the ceremony where people decorated and lit all the candles of the village so the Lord Itab could easily find them and grace them with a bountiful crop.

Like yesterday they played a lot of fair games and enjoyed the evening. The only difference between yesterday and today was, they both were clingy of each other. Today Adui was taking charge, and getting close to her, with every chance that came to him. This made a big smile blossom on her face, her secretive plan was working. That evening she started dreaming of their future together…

Standing by a skewer shop, her body was pressed against his. His hand was around her waist as if telling everyone that she was his. They were standing there in silence and were waiting for their orders. It is when two men come to the skewers shop as well, having a deep conversation together.

"… And everyone was dead," the older man spoke.

"Everyone?" the second man questioned, "Even Lord Arnold?"

The name of her lord made her ears perked up, and they started hearing their conversation. The older man shook his head, "Lord Arnold is a mana wielder, let alone a blade, the fire couldnt have killed him. The chief told me that Lord Arnold went to the ball along with his eldest son and daughter. So they are alive,"

It was then that Adui let go of her and walked up to the men, "What are you guys talking about?" he asked in an authoritative tone.

The two men stared at Adui. Due to Hampshire lineage, Adui was standing tall at 5 feet 8 inches, a little bit taller than two of the men, intimating them. "I asked what you guys are talking about?" he asked again.

"Dont you know it is rude to listen to a conversation between two people?" the older man in a rage.

Adui then grabbed the collar of the man and said, "My name is Adui Hampshire. I am the son of Arnold Hampshire, the baron who rules over the village. I dont care whether you are 100 years old fucker. Tell me what you guys are talking about,"

His tone scared the old man shitless, which was not a surprise. In her world offending a noble household usually means death for people like them. The man accompanying the old man then knelt down, "We apologize Lord for not recognizing you. Please spare us,"

Adui let the old man go, and then the old man also knelt on the ground to ask for forgiveness. "I dont care about you guys," Adui clearly said, "I want to know what you guys are talking about?"

"The Hampshire Manor…" the old man said, "It burnt down last night," She was shocked to her core hearing this, and then the old man continued, "Several charred bodies have been found from the rubble."

Adui took a step back, clearly shocked. She came closer to him and was about to take them away when she noticed that their scuffle had gathered a crowd around them. "Let's go Adui," she mumbled.

"Yeah," Adui said, and then he freed his hands and started running, through the crowd. To not lose him, she also started running after him. They ran through the crowd like mad lads and finally made it to the only place that could have the answer to their questions, the chief's house.

The village chief knew Adui, and what he did for the family. When they came to the village, they decided to stay low and not tell anyone about their little trip as Adui feared that the chief might ruin their trip. As a noble, and the person who handles the tax money of the Hampshire family, every chef of the villages that comes under Hampshire commands always butter him up. Which is why he wanted to stay low.

Adui when got to the house, he just pushed open the door and walked straight in. Soon she also came and saw that there were several people in the house of the chief. The chief who was sitting on the main chair stood up as soon as he saw Adui.

"Young Master Adui!" the chief, an old man in his late fifties stood up. "You are alive!"

"Is it true?" Adui asked with a grim voice, "The things that I heard in the market. Did Hampshire Manor really burn down?"

The chief nodded slowly, "The messenger came a few hours ago. They wanted me to send a messenger to Lord Hampshire,"

"What about the casualties?" Adui asked in a grave, yet sad voice.

"According to the messenger, the villagers found various bodies in the debris. But there is nothing left to identify the bodies,"

Shocked, Martha put her hands on her mouth. The maids that were working alongside her were like his sisters. They never looked eye to eye, which didnt mean that she didnt ccare for her. From the start, they supported her and showed her the way. Now they were gone, just like that.

Her eyes became moist, and she came closer to Adui. She then saw her man's eyes had started watering as well.

He lost his mother and siblings in one day, she thought. And how did the manor caught in the first place? It was then she remembered that Hubert uses herbs on the children to make them sleep till dawn. But that wouldn't explain why her sister didnt sense the fire. Living in that house they all have developed the habit of being light sleepers. If it is a shout from the other end of the manor to someone softly knocking at their door, they would wake up very quickly.

"Young master," the village chief said, Adui and she looked at him, "The messenger mentioned that the butler of the manor was found stabbed and stuck at the front gate of the manor… They suspect that this was done by bandits
