An attempt from the new Master

After the new maids were settled, Sir Frederick had an eye on Aria, she seemed naive to him.

"What's your name?", he asked her, while she was scrubbing the floor.

"A...Aria...sir", she stuttered.

He gazed at her, and left the room. Aria had an odd feeling, thinking he would try to assault her just like the other people. She stood at alert, trying not to fall into a trap.

Over the next few days, Sir Frederick had been oddly nice to Aria. This gave Aria goosebumps, as she felt that there was a reason behind the nicety of Sir Frederick.

He gave her days off without any chores, gave her more portion of food than others. She shared her suspicions with Madam Flora.

"Maybe it's just a father to daughter affection. It's not that deep. He doesn't seem like that. I heard he doesn't have a daughter, and you are the youngest amidst us, he might just consider you as a daughter", Madam Flora said, assuring her.

Aria shrugged her thoughts off her mind, believing Madam Flora.

A week after the new maids arrival, Sir Frederick started inviting Aria into his room, ordering her to clean it.

"You seem to be a very hardworking girl", he said, as he placed his hand on her shoulder, rubbing her. "Go on, do your job", he left the room, giving her space to clean his room.

His wife had traveled, and his children are studying abroad. Aria was mesmerized by the luxury of Sir Frederick's house.

"Maybe he is just a nice person", she thought to herself.

Aria, being a beauty that'd captivate any man, which of course her captor was no exception, was alluring to Sir Frederick, and he thought it's finally time to bring his ultimate plan to a finale, his plan to defile Aria, so, he decided to approach her with the full intention to have his way with her.

He sent for Aria, with his mind determined, he approached her, donning the nice personality he had been portraying towards her the past few days. He got her to get free, at least that's what he thought, then, the moment of truth, Sir Frederick, he proposes his outrageous request to Aria, she was taken aback. His mind wondered off, his sweet tongue causing her to waver, her morals eating at her to decline, but the thought of a life outside that of a slave at the same time was a hard to decline offer. But then, the memories of how her village was salvaged seemed to flash within her.

She solidified her mind, gave a stern look at Sir Frederick, and declined, as she started towards the door to her small room, Sir Frederick, of course did not expect this reaction, he was confident she'll accept, with his ego shattered. He resorted to more extreme means, he grabbed her arm, preventing her escape to the room, he pulled her closer and pinned her to a wall, and aggressively tried to undress her.

Aria, desperately struggling to get free, makes contact with a lamp, that fortunately was near her, she picked it and slams it into Sir Frederick's head. He staggered, trying to catch himself from falling to the ground.

Alas, he failed, a loud thud could be heard, lumps of blood gushing from his temple. Aria, out of fear of what she has done, ran, she ran with all her might, escaping into the woods, she heard a loud shout from her captor, a shout to catch her and prevent her from escaping...
