Birds of a feather flock together

"You are easily contented" said a deep voice quietly.

Startled, Lily tried to hide her naked body with her arms while bending her knees and lunging her body deep in the bath water. Too panicked to recognize who was speaking to her.

"There is nothing worth seeing, so you don't have to fuss so much into hiding it" the voice said coldly.

"Only a pervert enters, without permission, a girl's room while she is in the midst of taking her bath! Lily scolded quite angry at that peeping tom. "Never heard of knocking???"

"Looks like this Lord has been too lenient on you! Heard about Master scolding disciple. Today this Lord witness the opposite for the first time."

Lily was even more shocked to learn the peeping Tom was her master. She was now terribly embarrassed and slightly less angry.

"Never heard of a Master entering a disciple chambers while she is bathing. In the human world, it's called sexual harassment!"

"This Lord does not belong to the human world and neither do you now that you are my disciple."

Lily was left speechless by his reply. But she did not have any witty comment to throw so she just stayed quiet. Besides, she already knew that she was in a terrible position and did not want to make it worse. God knows what her Master would invent to torture her further...

"Still wrong and not apologizing? Are you so much looking forward to being punished?" With an impassible face, The Lord reminded Lily.

The Lord was not really intending to punish her, he was just playing around to see her reaction. He found her interesting and fresh and thus could not resist teasing her.

Lily knew she could not win the battle but still couldn't help to apologize...not with a sarcastic tone.

"I am sorry for being mad at Master for looking at me while I am taking my bath."

The Lord almost choked when he heard her apologies. If he was to accept then would it not be the same as admitting he was intentionally looking for her naked body?!

"I see your guts have grown... maybe you...no longer need your revenge?"

That's when Lily realized she should call it quits.

"Master I apologize."

The Lord smiled.

"Good disciples do not contradict their master. That's a lesson you better remember in the future."

"May I ask permission to get dressed up Master? It is quite uncomfortable for me to hold a discussion right now."

Lily was back at showing a tame demeanour. The reminder of her revenge had drowned any rebellious idea she had at the moment. She had to maintain a good relationship with her Master. She would settle her account with him, once she had satisfied her need for revenge.

The Lord nodded then turned his back so she could put on her clothes. Lily was not worried he would take the opportunity to look at her naked body, since he clearly states his lack of interest earlier. So she took her time to get out of the bath, dry herself and adorn herself with a beautiful dress.

"Ok, I am now decent Master! We can continue our discussion."

Without waiting for her Master's reply, she continued talking.

"Was there a specific reason for seeking me tonight Master?"

"Additional training. I want you to take the same position as this morning and I will correct you. If not, even in 10 000 years you will not progress further than this first stance."

Internally, Lily was screaming at the idea of training again and wanted to kick her "dear" Master. She had spent a lot of energy today and felt very tired. Externally she could only graciously agree.
