Chapter 16: Answers (2)

I looked at him like he went completely daft for a moment then said, "My lord, I would be your lady, I am above being a slave as a slave would never love you the way I do. Yes, my lord I love you and am unfit to be anything but your wife. Now is my lord satisfied? May I finish my meal?"

I had spoke very formally as I wasn't sure whether or not to do so. Honestly, I wasn't sure if it would get through his head otherwise. He then surprised me by pulling me out of my chair, away from my meal, and proceeded to kiss me senseless. He then released me, leaving me dizzy and out of breath and walked out telling me that he would be back in an hour. I then turned around and walked back to the table to finish my meal after I caught my breath. After I was done I gathered my plate walking up to the door to take it out and much to my surprise it was unlocked! So, gathering my courage I walked out of my room, hoping it wasn't a big house and tried to find the kitchen. After a few unsuccessful attempts, I finally found the kitchen. I walked over to the fire, carrying hot water to the washtub in preparation to wash the dish that I had eaten from. As soon as I had placed the dishes in the water, Kryscht's friend, Chylex came into the kitchen, saw her rolling up her sleeves, and said in a panicked tone,"My lady you musn't let the eldest young master catch you!" He then turned and called his daughter, "Alexia where are you?"
