KNOCK KNOCK
Emlyn was moved from her reverie when the door was knocked twice, then opened. Entered three maids with a stack of girl's clothing and other necessities, followed by two male servants with buckets of water.
Wait...
She turned her head to the left and saw the beautiful bathtub. Ah... will they get her bath ready for her? For real?
Suddenly she felt her head itchy. She badly needed to wash her hair. It's also been an awfully long ti since she had a proper bath. She could only wash up properly three days ago in the river when she had the chance. How she missed her bathtub at ho back in Winterre!
"My lady... Prince Mars asked us to serve you and get you ready to et him at the dining room to have breakfast together," said one of the maids with respect. "His Highness had sothing to say to you. It's important that you prepare yourself."
Emlyn couldn't believe her own hearing.
So... she was caught so that she could get herself ready and et the devil for breakfast together. This was so weird. Why would the prince eat together with his attempted killer?
This whole thing was so confusing. However, she really missed her bath. She had no choice but say yes.
Maybe her luck changed. Not only was she not killed for the attempted assassination, now she also got to take a warm bath and eat good food for breakfast.
Well... she better enjoyed it and listened to what the devil had to say.
The relaxing bath didn't last as long as Emlyn would have wanted it, but still, it was good enough. She felt so relaxed and her mood improved. Now, she was ready for anything.
The two maids helped her get dressed and combed her hair. Finally, they hung a small pouch with scented herbs on her waist. Now, Emlyn felt like herself again. She was slling like blooming roses.
[This is really nice. But if the devil is really gay, why did he ask the maids to dress up like a girl? How confusing!]
Emlyn didn't know what to think anymore.
"Please follow , My Lady. I will take you to the dining room," said one of her maids while bowing down her head. Emlyn felt hungry, so she welcod the invitation to have a good al.
Yes, she was at the enemy's den, but that didn't an she would act foolishly and refused good food. She would need her energy to get her revenge anyway.
She walked gracefully, following the maid with two castle guards walking by her sides. It looked like they intentionally kept this position to ensure Emlyn wouldn't run away.
[I'm not that dumb to run away in broad daylight, with an empty stomach.]
They passed a really long corridor after they went down the stairs from the top of the tower. Emlyn was already familiar with this castle and knew where they were taking her. The devil had his personal space where he would enjoy dinner alone, overlooking the beautiful pond filled with water lilies.
This castle was given by his father, the king, for him to manage after he turned 20. This was where he ran his household of staff and army. The royal palace was located around 3 kiloters away from here.
The devil sotis would hold feasts and etings with so governnt officials, nobles, or landlords from around the area and they would use the big hall in the main building. However, for his personal ti, he preferred to use this quarter on the east part of the castle.
Usually, no won were allowed in this area, else they would be executed, so it was no surprise that the maid stopped by the doorway and motioned Emlyn to enter on her own. It looked like she was the first or only woman being allowed in this quarter after gods know how many years.
Emlyn stepped inside after the two castle guards stared at her as if telling her to enter without a sound. She finally relented.
With graceful steps, she walked inside to find the devil was sitting leisurely on his favorite chair while looking at the swans playing with water lilies in the pond outside.
"Good morning," Emlyn was very interested in finding out what the devil had in plan for her. In the anti, she wouldn't provoke him and would act politely.
The man with long silver hair turned around to face her when he heard Emlyn's voice. He wore casual clothes this morning, but it looked so good on him and for a mont, Emlyn was in a daze.
At the sa ti, the devil was astounded to see the little servant that tried to kill him last night had transford into a really beautiful and elegant girl.
Were they even the sa person? He furrowed his brows.
Emlyn had long wavy brown hair, that fell down to her waist gracefully. Her face was petite with fresh skin and healthy blushing cheeks. Her eyes were big like a doe's with brilliant blue color, which made them look like sapphires. Her full red lips were so kissable that the devil subconsciously gulped.
Suddenly he felt so hungry. However, it wasn't food that he was craving.
