Chapter 8

Louis was sitting on a chair in his chambers, On the table, before him, were trays of food and fruits of all kinds he took a grape from the fruit tray.

He crunched the grape in his mouth and crossed his right leg over his left one and began to shake it from his ankle.

He had told one of his guards to call sedora, it had been thirty minutes since he had been waiting patiently for her.

He got tired of waiting and used his super hearing to listen to what was happening in his castle.

He had heard what happened in the kitchen and what Clara said fit some reasons her felt offended he wanted to punish the dumb whore for comparing her dirty self with his elora.

But what surprised him was the fact that sedora couldn't say anything painful to those two morons who called themselves twins as they bullied her.

"I'm going to make life miserable for those two but I want Elora to hurt more until she stopped her act, this will ease my boredom," he thought out loud he smirked at the thought moments later he heard a knock on the door.

"come in" he ordered with a deep throaty voice he knew who was at the door, he had already inhaled her scent.

Sedora opened the door and worked in she failed to see the golden irises that stared at her from the side of the room, the room was lit up by a candle that wasn't that bright.

Sedora looked around the room she heard a voice that told her to come in now she couldn't see anyone.

The room was painted black with golden designs on the wall, she saw a big bed the bed was big enough for ten people to sleep on.

The bed was on top of a big stand. On the head of the stand there were symbols and languages carved around it the carvings gave an ominous feeling she couldn't stop tears from falling from her eyes.

"What was this" she muttered to herself. The room had a fireplace on one end and the other end bathtub it also had a sturdy side shelf filled with books a chair and a table.

There were paintings on the wall of demons she had never seen anything like it, it was sad and creepy but she felt drawn to them.

She was busy looking at the room that she failed to realize that next to the bed someone was sitting there watching her the windows were closed the only light in the room was the candle and she was straining her eyes to see.

Louis's eyes stared at her like a hawk,He saw that the girl was crying "why was she crying did she rememer?" he wondered.

"Seems you only came here to sightsee" came a deep voice.

She jerked and turned her gaze to the direction where the voice came from she was scared her hazel eyes met his golden ones.

"milord," she said and bowed

"drop the act Elora," he said coldly

"milord, my name is sedora," she said as she deepened her bow she didn't want him to get angry she still loved her life and she needed time to leave this realm.

One side of his lips curved as he smirked

"I would love a warm bath, fill the bathtub" he ordered picking another grape from the table.

"yes milord" she replied and hurriedly walked out of his chambers to the kitchen, She got to the kitchen, and without speaking to anyone she took a bucket and began to fill the bucket with warm water.

The distance from the kitchen to the king's chamber was far.

She had to climb a long staircase several times she filled the tub to the brim.

"your bath is ready milord," she said waiting for him to give her instructions to leave.

he stood up and slowly walked to where the bath was he used his fingers to check the temperature of the water.

"do you plan to burn me alive? it's too hot "he shouted at sedora.

Sedora was shocked she went on her knees instantly to plead for her life.

" Milord I'm sorry please forgive me I'll change the water" she said.

" Change the water" he ordered as he went to take a book from the shelf he sat down and pretended to read it.

She quickly took the bucket and bailed out the water, she quickly refilled it with water that was neither too hot nor too cold.

" milord your bathe is ready" she smiled feeling like she had just accomplished something great Louis got up from the chair and checked the water with his fingers.

" it's too cold I want it changed," he said as he walked back to his chair to continue reading his book.

She was shocked, she had checked the water and it was warm .

"was he doing this on purpose?" she said inwardly as she sighed!!!! She was tired and was now sweating.

She took the bucket again and bailed the water for the third time. She filled it with warm water again.

"milord" she said as an indication that she was through with a voice evidently tired .

"I don't feel like taking a bath, you can go" he replied not shifting his gaze from his book he was grinning from ear to ear.

She bowed and ran out of the chamber for fear that he would change his mind.

he could do it all day and not get tired but he had a meeting to attend.
