[MUSIC RECOMNDATION: BEETHOVEN - MOONLIGHT SONATA ~ FULL BY KASSIA]
The first night Cortez t with Axilla....[The night of Kitanna’s reinstatent.]
Cortez had arrived in Morado because Larel’s parents were not happy with his absence during the wedding.
"Welco to Morado, Cortez," Larel greeted with a big smile.
Cortez hugged her, "Larel, or should I say your Majesty?" he teased.
Larel nudged him playfully, "I am now the Queen of Morado," she said as they stepped inside the palace.
Cortez noticed the palace was being decorated, "Is there sothing being celebrated?"
Larel nodded, "Yes, the princess returned ho after being presud dead. So tonight is her reinstatent party. I’ll introduce you to everyone tomorrow morning," she explained.
Cortez nodded, going to the room that was arranged for him. He stayed inside his room until nightti, then he joined the party. It was crowded and too noisy for him. He picked up a glass of wine and decided to call it a night. But soone caught his attention.
A young maid was excitedly gulping the wine in her cup. Cortez raised his own wine glass and wondered if it was water the girl was drinking.
He scoffed when her body swayed, "She’s looking to get drunk," he muttered, twitching his lips before using the other door to leave the party room.
Axilla, on the other side, was excited. Finally, she was shedding her childlike image and was fully a grown woman, even though her body was small and her face looked younger. The first wine she drank was hot.
"It stings!" she said, getting the after-bitter taste, but she didn’t stop. Out of excitent, she gulped down every drink that passed her way. When her stomach felt full, she left the room to go use the restroom.
Outside the party room, Axilla staggered, searching for the restroom but she was too drunk to see properly. She muttered to herself as she searched for the room where she could pee.
Cortez, who was smoking on the balcony, caught sight of the girl. He watched her staggering movents as she searched for sothing seriously.
"The alcohol is finally settling," he muttered, puffing out smoke from his lips before taking another long drag.
Axilla continued to walk aimlessly, searching for the room she had already passed long ago. With her body swaying, she mistakenly bumped into a group of noblen who were enjoying their ti with maids.
Axilla bowed, "I’m sorry..." she muttered. "Can you point to where the restroom is? I think it disappeared," the girl said with a drunken voice.
A young nobleman pushed the maid who was sitting on his lap to the floor, then he said to Axilla, "I know you’re looking to have fun. Don’t pretend; I’ll pay you more." The man rubbed his tongue on his lips, looking at the innocent girl who appeared to be untouched.
Axilla furrowed her brow, trying to keep her stance steady as she pointed at the man and said, "I don’t....have fun...show the restroom..." The girl drawled, feeling her stomach turn, making her sick. She held her forehead.
The man didn’t stop approaching Axilla, with a sly grin on his face. It was everyday they saw innocent untouched maids who wouldn’t rember what happened the next day, so it was easier because they wouldn’t get paid.
"Follow ; I’m going to show you the restroom," the man said, stretching his hand to touch Axilla, but the girl took a cautious step back.
Axilla shook her head, "I guess you’re not familiar with this place. I’ll find the restroom myself," she muttered, leaving the place when the nobleman tried to drag her hair but his hand was held midair.
"The lady doesn’t want to go with you." Cortez, who had been watching from afar, held the man’s hand.
The nobleman chuckled, "She’s not a lady; she’s just a lowly maid that is available for us to enjoy. Won’t you agree with ?"
Cortez turned his head to see the girl who had now left, still searching for the restroom, not knowing the danger that lurked outside. "I don’t agree with idiots," he turned to say to the nobleman before pushing his hand down roughly.
"Argh!" the man held his shoulder, which felt like it was ripped. He glared at the man who did that to him but wasn’t able to retaliate because he didn’t look like an ordinary man but also a wealthy nobleman.
"I’ll let you have the girl then," the nobleman said, turning to drag the maid he had pushed earlier.
Cortez didn’t say anything else; he followed the girl behind, watching as she pushed every door open searching for sothing in particular.
"Excuse ..." soone called Axilla from behind.
Axilla stopped in her tracks and turned to look at the person who called her.
"What are you looking for?" Cortez asked, looking at the innocent hazel eyes of the girl, which sparkled with the candlelight.
Axilla pressed her lips, "I want to use the restroom," she said sadly.
Cortez rubbed his temples, "It’s the next door over there," he pointed in the direction for the girl.
Axilla gave an innocent smile, she turned to walk to the room when she rembered sothing. "Please can you walk to the place..." she begged.
Cortez sighed; the girl was not just carefree but there was no ounce of weariness in her, asking a stranger to take her to the restroom in the middle of the night.
"Follow ,"
Cortez finally said, walking forward while the girl followed him behind, hitting her head on his back at intervals and then apologizing only to do it again.
Finally, when Axilla was done using the restroom, she ca out with a big smile on her face.
Cortez leaned on the wall, with his legs crossed over the other. When the girl ca out, he noticed that a part of her gown was stuck on her waist, revealing her legs.
He closed his eyes and sighed tiredly, thinking maybe he shouldn’t have involved himself with soone as stupid as the girl. "How old are you?" Cortez asked.
Axilla raised her hand to count, then she smiled. Coming closer, she whispered, "I am now a full-grown woman from today." She grinned.
Cortez shook his head, "The calculation should be wrong," he muttered, ready to abandon the girl and leave, but Axilla held his shirt tightly.
"Don’t leave alone," Axilla held him tightly, unwilling to let go.
Cortez raised his eyebrows slightly; he looked around the corridor before his eyes settled on the girl.
"Take with you and protect ." The girl gripped her hand on his shirt, her body swaying back and forth.
Before Cortez could say anything, the girl’s body swayed forward, and she passed out, crashing onto his body.
