Little Lily Chapter 3

Little Lily Chapter 3
Kents POV

I rolled over in my bed pushing Martha out of the bed before the maids came in to make my bath. "Oh my Lord do you always have to wake me like this I'm sure there are other ways." She grinned coily dropping the blanket revealing her young form. I turned my head and groaned, "Just get out Martha your father is probably wondering were the heck you are." I glared at her as she blew me a kiss and dressed. Her shiny blonde hair was the only thing I found beautiful anymore know that she had become like an old toy. I heard her slam my door as I got up and looked threw my papers on my end table. I soft knock came at the door and in entered my normal chambermaid Lisa and my beautiful new toy Lily.

"My Lord you are up early, let me prepare the bath while Lily makes the bed," Lisa was an orphan I had found in my market place and I knew she would befriend Lily maybe even comfort her over the new trials she faced. I nodded silently as I watched Lily walk over to the bed and start making it. Her face showed signs of depression and she appeared distressed. I wish I could see those brown eyes that the oracle said she would have. The oracle. An old man I had used to show me my future bride it even showed me the family she would be born into. I didn't mean for her to be a servant now I knew. I had to have her.

Lily's POV
Why is he staring at me I hope I didn't offend him for not speaking. Oh please hurry lisa I don't like being alone with him, I thought. "How do like it here Lily?" he spoke harshly to me and I knew I would have to answer truthful.

"My lord is very gracious it is very nice here thank you," I whispered hoping he would hear me as I put the last pillow on his bed and placed his used clothes in a basket lisa had brought for laundry. I looked around the room and walked over to the fireplace setting another log in it to heat the room. I heard him move behind me and I stopped breathing for what seemed like forever. He whispered, "I could make your stay more enjoyable." I gasped and pulled away falling onto one of his leather chairs in the process.

He grinned down at me and I blushed as I looked down, "I assure you my lord I am enjoying my present station, excuse me." I walk over to the basket as lisa comes out smiling at Kent, "My lord the bath is prepared and the cook has assured you for ball tonight there will be plenty of food for your guests." We both bow and exit the room I sigh in relief.

"Lisa does Lord Kent always flirt with the servants?" I asked hesitantly hoping she would not assume I do so.

She shook her head no and started telling me about Lady Martha whose father was Lord Kent's advisor. "They go to bed together but she acts like the lady of Loxington instead of the flop she really is." We both giggled at her comment. I walked into the kitchen that evening to be thrown two piece white outfits to wear to the ball we would be serving at.

I changed into it and walked to the kitchen again to show Lisa but only saw James in a long black outfit with gold lining. "You look beautiful milady." He grinned at me. I blushed and looked down nodding thanks as we were quickly lined up against the wall to wait for instructions from the guests.

Kent's POV
Men and women are everywhere talking, flirting and the occasional gossip is heard. I look to see Lily serving Lady Martha's drink she glares at the young girl as Lily doesn't bow to her like so many others. I grin to myself as I call on James, "James does my new chambermaid beaten by anyone of the guests staying here?"

"No, my lord she makes everyone smile she does a good job around your castle." I nod and dismiss him as he walks over to Lily grinning at her she blushes as he follows her back into the kitchen. That outfit was too much I shouldn't have had it picked out for her.
I groan as I spot lily and James watching the party from the high stairs. I glare at him as he takes her hand and pulls her higher up the stairs down the long hallway. My hands clench as I stand up scaring Lady Martha as she falls off my lap onto the floor. Many people laugh and I grin down at her amused as I walk up the stairs following lily and her new lover.

I walk up behind the door which leads to the servants quarters I hear them whispering. "James I don't know if we should be doing this.... what if we are caught? You could be killed for trying to help me escape!"

"It's ok ma Cherie I want you to live instead of in this dungeon." James voice rang out as I heard clothes shuffling around, I knew they were packing a bag. I burst into the room to see James leaning down to her petite face about to kiss her when he saw me.

"My Lord.... I... is the party not going well?" he stuttered as Lily blushed and looked down from my gaze.

"Sadly it is not going well I will need my chamber maid for the night if you will excuse us James?" I grinned down at a trembling Lily as James stared at me. Then her body collapsed into his arms as she fainted.
