14 Maid Service part 1

Galahad laid sick in bed after coming home from an assassination mission that happened during a rainy night. The thick dark clothes he wore were nothing to the cruel pellets of water that rained down on him like bullets, soaking him to the bone. His skin is scorching that it seems like Satan himself toasted him for hours. He is weary and exuding so much sweat as if he had run 3 miles without repose under the burning sun. His body feels like warm potty and he can barely walk on his feet without stumbling.

He is nauseous making him unable to eat anything and he feels dizzy. He walked towards his kitchen with great difficulty and reached for the fridge to get the water jug. He poured himself a glass of cold water and drank it to the bottom.

He left the glass on the counter and urged himself to return to his bed. A sudden knock resounded from his door and he exasperatedly went to get it. He flung the door open to tell the person to fuck off but stopped when he saw who it was and confusion replaced his anger.

Skywynn stared at him innocently wearing a cute French maid's dress while holding an envelope in her hand. "Uhm. . . hello, uhhh, master. This is the address in the paper so I guess you're my master, Galahad. You won me and now I'll be your maid for a whole week. It's a pleasure being at your service, I'm you're loyal maid, Skywynn." The girl introduced herself before courtesying to him.

"Pardon, but how did I win you exactly?" He asked in curiosity. His head started feeling light and liquid-like.

"You won me from the raffle conducted by Blood Mall." She answered tilting her head cutely to the side.

He remembers now, he was out with his friends namely Alfred, Lancewell, Granger, Harold, Claude, Tytus, and Chen a week ago on a boys' night out and they suddenly came across the mall where a raffle was ongoing. The prizes that can be won are as follows: 100 diamonds, 500 gold coins, 5000 emblems of your choosing, and a sweet maid that will be yours for a whole one week.

Chen urged all of them to participate because he wants to get the maid so the others just agreed because it will give them the probability of claiming the other prizes. He participated in the raffle in the hopes of winning the prize of five hundred gold coins but his number was drawn instead for the maid which greatly depressed Chen.

He reluctantly went up the stage to accept the certificate that signifies his claim on the maiden. He signed a few papers saying that he shall accept the maid and have her in his servitude for one week only. It stated that the company won't be responsible for any pregnancy that will result from the one week. He spun a digital roulette that will decide the girl that will be in his service.

He pressed the button making the roulette spin. He waited a few seconds before the wheel stopped and landed on a pretty golden-haired girl. The large screen flashed a few photos of the girl wearing cute outfits and smiling for the camera. Chen cried in the background because it could have been him who will get the girl while his two hunter friends rampage in the arms of Tytus and Lancewell. Both Alfred and Granger have murderous intent on him when they discovered who he will be getting. A purple demon was being restrained by the guards who was screaming bloody murder at him.

The odd reaction of the bystanders astounded him making him wonder who it was that he really won. "Who did I get exactly?" He asked Erebus, who was MCing with Fyrafell the archangel.

"Why you got our cutest little darling, Skywynn. You'll receive her in a few days. Go have fun with her." winked the fallen Angel.

"Master are you all right? You look pale. Are you sick?" The maid asked inching closer to him. Galahad can't hold any longer, his head was swarming and his body feels light. He collapsed against the girl and passed out. The little lady caught him in her arms and supported his body so that he won't fall on the ground. Skywynn sighed and placed one of his arms over her shoulder and helped him walk to his room barely conscious.

She laid him on his bed and pulled the covers over his shivering body. She collected a basin and a small towel from his bathroom and filled it with cold water. She returned to his side and started dabbing his forehead with the wet towel to cool his burning temperature.

Skywynn looked around his house inspecting his living quarters. Galahad's house is a mess. His clothes litter the floor like confetti, some of them seem like they haven't been washed for months, some of his swords are stuck on the wall, and his floor doesn't seem to know what sweeping and mopping was. Odd magical items lie randomly around the house and she even found a moving hand trapped in a jar which nearly scared her soul away. She exhaled heavily as she pulled her golden locks into a messy ponytail and prepared for the tedious work that she has to do.

Galahad woke up to the smell of roses and tea boiling in the distance, making him pull himself up in alarm and confusion. He was feeling slightly better than before and his temperature seems to have decreased. A wet towel fell from his forehead and he placed it on the basin he found on the bedside table. He looked around his room and noticed it cleaner than ever. The floor had been freed from the cluster of dirty clothes, dirt, swords and daggers, and random objects that can turn a person into a blotch of lasagna that fell from the 30th floor. His room lost its sweaty scent and the slight smell of blood and 5-day old pizza and Chinese takeouts. The putrid odors were replaced by aromatic feminine scents like roses and fruits which really pleased him. His room finally knew what being clean was and the orderliness of his environment made him feel better and more relaxed. His house actually turned homier.

"Thank goodness you're awake, master." cheered Skywynn who was entering his room. The maiden carried a tray that he didn't own bearing a cup of what he suspects as tea, a bowl of something steaming, and a bunch of freshly baked bread.

Skywynn placed the tray on the chair before lifting the basin of water and bring it back to the bathroom. She returned immediately and placed the tray on the bedside table. She lifted the bowl and scooped up a spoonful of soup.

"You must be very hungry, master. Come, I'll feed you." The maid said as she took a seat on the chair beside him.

On normal circumstances, he would have refused but for some reason he actually wants her to do the said task. He opened his lips and accepted the food in his mouth. His tongue coiled a bit at first because he hasn't had a proper meal for quite a while but his taste organ easily acknowledged the food's delicious taste. This woman really knows how to cook. She was able to make a simple dish so delicious even with his limited resources, she probably went out and bought more ingredients for the soup.

"Is it to your liking, master?" inquired the maiden as she fed him more.

"Yes, it is very delicious. Tell me, did you really single-handedly cleaned my whole room?" Galahad wondered while eating the soup.

"Not only your room but also your whole house. I changed your curtains, swept and mopped the floors, dusted the furniture, and I also did your laundry, master. I hope I've done enough to your liking." Skywynn said, smiling at him.

"Actually you've done more than enough. You're pretty great. I mean, I didn't even pay that big for the raffle and yet I got you and a free house service, it's just so astounding." Galahad mused.

"Thank you, master. You flatter me too much." Skywynn's phone suddenly vibrated, catching her attention. She took the device and looked at the screen. A small smile made its way to her lips and she directed her attention back to him.

"Can you please finish your meal? I'll just leave for a while to get your medicine. The apothecary just arrived." Skywynn said as she handed him the bowl.

"Yeah, sure, but where did you get the money? Not that I'm mad or something but just curious."

"Oh, I found quite a lot of spare change on the floor. I hope you're not mad that I used them."

"No, it's fine."

"Thank you, master. I'll go get the door now." Skuwynn said before walking off to retrieve the medicine from the apothecary.
