Chapter 14: Chapter 14
"My Lord, we have been wondering when you would get a wife" he stopped and glanced at him and when he saw his emotionless gaze, he breath in and continued.
"We just want to remind you that you are no longer getting any younger and you definitely need an heir. Why not take a wife my Lord" he wanted to continue but when he saw the deadly gaze of master Damien who seemed to be upset, he immediately stepped back and bowed sitting down fearfully as he doesn't want to get into the master's bad book.
He glanced at the other elders who were also looking at him as they well all afraid of the master as well. "I shouldn't have opted to speak on our behalf" he muttered lowly as he prayed for his life.
Master Damien stood up and adjusted his dark overflowing robe, picked up his long lion head staff and walked out of the meeting hall.
The elder who had spoken about him getting a wife heaved a huge sigh of relief thanking his stars as the master seemed to be sparing him.
He turned to the other elders and casted them a long angry look. "You all are sitting there not saying a word, what if the master had ordered my prosecution? I would not speak to the Master concerning getting a wife as I do not want to land myself in trouble. As you all know, my wife is pregnant and I have sons and animals under my care. I do not want to loose my life by Master Damien's sword." he rasped and stomped out of the room.
Master Damien returned back to his chambers, pulling off his robe, he walked into the bathroom to take his bath. He would never marry a wife. He hated kids and would never want one and if any of his sex slave disobey him by getting pregnant, he would not hesitate to wipe them off the surface of the earth.
He got out of his bathroom now clad in a red overflowing robe. He walked towards the beautiful wooden table and picked up his pipe and wine. "Robin!!!" He called out to his head guard and he came rushing in immediately as if he had been standing beside him.
"Bring me the runaway slave" he muttered dryly and Robin nodded. "Do you mean to bring her into your chambers my lord?"He asked confused as to why the master would want the slave who tried to escape to come to his chambers instead of giving out orders for her elimination.
He does not need to dwell on the thought for long as deadly aura started emitting out from the master. "Yes my Lord, I would go fetch her" he bowed and hastily left the room going to fetch Galene from the dungeon.
Galene stirred and woke up to the squeaky sound of the door opening. They are here to cook her she thought as tears started streaming down her face. "Please don't eat me" she begged when she started hearing their footsteps. Robin wondered what she was saying or has she gone nut.
The other guards lighted a lantern and Galene calmed down on seeing they were actually the castle guard and not forest demons. But what was the different, they found her and would execute her for leaving the castle without the master's permission.
They picked her up as she silently wept not wanting them to see her weakness. She would still die anyways whether she wail or not.
She followed them as they led her out. They got to the master's chambers and stopped as Robin entered to announce her presence. She wondered why they brought her to the master's chamber instead of taking her to the execution hall.
Robin got into the chambers and sighted the master puffing out smokes from his pipe. "She's here my lord" He bowed. "Let her in" Master Damien muttered dryly and Robin bowed walking out of the room.
"You can go in now" Robin said and Galene nodded and walked into the room. Maybe the master wants to kill her himself. Her heart flew into her stomach immediately she saw the master sitting on his bed and puffing out smoke from his pipe.
She swallowed and walked towards him "My lord" she bowed, greeting him but got no reply from him. After standing for a while her knees started getting weak as she prayed for her life.
She doesn't want to die. If not for nothing, for the sake of her poor mother who is suffering from the hands of her wicked father.
"Galene" Master Damien called coldly and Galene shivered as cold sweat trickled down her forehead. Her heart beating furiously as she bowed.
"My Lord I do not wish to disobey you, I was only worried about my mother whom my father was maltreating and I couldn't feel relaxed here without thinking of how she was coping without me. Please forgive me master" she fell on her knees and pleaded as a single tear slipped from her eye.
"Get on the bed" Master Damien's voice echoed through the room making her blood run dry. "What was he going to do to her on the bed" she wondered as reality hit her. He was going to torture her sexually before killing her.
But she just apologized to him, she didn't run away. Her only offence was leave without his consent but even if she seeked for his consent, was he going to permit her to leave and visit her home.
She gently stripped from her clothes and walked slowly to the bed. On getting to the foot of the bed, his voice stopped her from getting atop it.
"Do not think I would have you when you stink" he thundered and she staggered nearly loosing her stand.
"Yes Master" she bowed her heart thumping as she picked her cloth trying to leave the room after slipping it on.
"Where are you going Galene" The way he calls her name always make her feel chilly waves. "To go bath my Lord" she muttered looking down and fiddling with her dress.
