Chapter 204
Bowing his head 3 times, he pledged an oath. "I pledge my loyalty to you Master" he said in the final bow. Now he felt proud of himself, and felt skeleton was someone who valued his oath, he had never pledge to anyone before, pledging to her, he was pledging his whole life to her.
Selom was filled with smiles, Williams was right, she wanted to give him a chance to choose. She didn't want to force him against his will. If he didn't want to take her as his new master, then she would set him free. After all, she didn't keep people against their will. All her years growing up as a child, she had always been protected by her parents, they were always there for her. Now it was her turn to protect her parents, her children, her friends and those around her as well. Her intentions at first was to kill this man who stood before her but later she realized it wasn't worth it. After all he was following orders, it was better having his as an ally than a dead man. She already had plans for him and she could that he was someone who was friendly.
"You now have a new Master," William said with a smile. He was happy Skeleton chose wisely. When one had a good master he wouldn't be treated as a slave but as a servant. In this part if the world, there is a big difference between being a servant and a slave. A servant is treated with respect but a slave isn't. To the Master, the life of a servant is also important but to another Master, the life of a slave is worthless. They use the life of a slave to protect their own lives.
"Williams, get him new clothes and feed him properly. It would be embarrassing having a hobo protect me, he should look more decent" Selom said with a smile.
"Thank you Master," he said bowing with a smile.
"I had thought about a change of name, but it seems to me that the name Skeleton suits you better. You Indeed look like one" Selom said looking at him
"Speechless"
"Speechless"
He had given himself that name, it wasn't because he looked like a skeleton. The name meant 'Death'. It was indeed a unique name since he didn't like the sound of bearing the literal meaning'Death' so he chose the name 'Skeleton'
"Was it Skeleton or Scorpion?" Williams suddenly asked, he sounded confused. He had heard the name Scorpion before, it was strange the mistress had called him Skeleton.
Skeleton hearing this looked but at his new Master. Indeed he was called the name Scorpion. No one knew him as Skeleton. Looking at the smile on her face, he couldn't help but smile as well. This meant he would understand everything with time, all he needed was wait patiently.
"Williams, Go and clean him up" She said glaring at him. She knew what he was up to, Williams was indeed the man she trusted the most.

On their way to the mansion Swift tried convincing his master trying to talk him out of fighting with them but it seems he couldn't. Jackson kept fantasizing about his fight with her and also how he would make her suffer in the fight "Master you need to hear me out on this one those women and not ordinary women they are very skilled, she just wanted you to think she is weak, she is stronger than she looks' '. He said walking behind him, but all he got from his master was silence. He was being ignored all the way home.
Swift and Jackson headed straight to the pharmacy where his master handed over the pill to the old man telling him to check everything the pill was made of and also its chemical constituents he didn't want to make the same mistake he had made earlier.
After the old man was done running a test on the pill he felt it was safe for her to take. Looking at Swift he could already guess what was happening his ears were already itching him he wanted to know how the meeting went. "The young mistress is safe to take to drink, it has no poison in it" The Old Man Said with a smile. After he was done talking they head to the medication room where Cecilia was.
She had her eyes open looking at the roof covering in a daze. She couldn't actually tell what was going on around her. All she felt was a sore body and a head ache that she felt could take her life. She had never thought of such a life. She was always her father's princess, always living her life the way she wanted, doing things the way it pleases her but how was she to know that a Day would come when she will be reduced to nothing?
Walking into the room the three men could not help but sigh, they seemed to understand her suffering. The old man immediately dissolved the pill and fed it to her and after feeding it to her she slept off and her breath was now steady and normal.
Seeingher falling asleep Jackson sighed with relief now he felt better. What was left of him now what's to get a good sleep and to practice as well. The pregnant woman who was about his daughter's age was buying time for herself, so he could as well make use of his time wisely.
The old man on the other hand gave Swift a strange look but they had to wait for Jackson to leave first. Cecilia was already in deep sleep, she had a calm face, which meant she was sleeping comfortably. He sat beside her looking at her with admiration. This was his favourite girl and he could give out the whole world for her happiness and it matters a lot to him.
