Chapter 25: Chapter 25

"What happened Lydia why are you crying," Maria asked as Lydia got into the room shedding tears profusely.

Galene who was laying on her bed unable to sleep looked up to see the heartbroken Lydia.

"Can you believe what happened in the master's room?" Lydia asked sniffing.

"Come sit here," Maria said to her pointing at her bed. Lydia walked over to her bed and sat down.

"What did the Master do to you? Was he hard on you? Of course, I know he would be because he is a beast" Galene muttered frowning.

"I wish he was hard on me, I wish he touched me but no he didn't, instead he embarrassed me" Lydia sobbed.

"Tell us what happened Lydia and stop shedding tears, what's with you all and tears," Luciana said rolling her eyes.

"I entered the master's room and he told me to mount the bed which I did spreading my legs only for me to wait for a long time without him climbing me, then I opened my eyes to see he was no longer in the room.

When I try to stand from the bed, the door opened and Robin came in to order me out of the Master's chamber" Lydia finished hed off wailing loudly.

"I really thought he did something bad to you, you should be happy he didn't touch you for you would have been finding it difficult to sit down now" Galene muttered not understanding why Lydia would cry because the beast didn't touch her.

Do not tell me that, do you know how long I've longed for the master's touch? Do you know you could be the cause of all this because ever since you came into this castle, the master has never sent for any of us, and just tonight that you rejected him, he decide to send for another and then drive her out of his room" Lydia shrieked glaring hard at Galene.

"What are you talking about Lydia? The master might have gotten an emergency that required his attention and he had to quickly leave?

"Why are you accusing Galene of what she didn't do because she had been going through lots of pains and punishment ever since she stepped her foot here" Maria scolded.

"Well, I'm sorry Galene I was just angry and you saying I shouldn't be crying because the master didn't touch me made me angrier" Lydia apologized and Galene nodded not offended.

"Stop crying, I believe he would send for you next time and maybe Maria was right, something might have hindered him from touching you" Galene consoled.

Master Damien stood at the terrace of his chambers staring down the castle while in deep thoughts.

He wondered why he couldn't touch that slave that came last night, he had gotten out of his robe and tried to touch her but he couldn't, he got disgusted and wanted non-other than the new slave so he wore back his robe and left the room informing Robin to get the slave out of his chambers.

He had wanted to send for her but since she complained of not being healed of the previous injury, he decided to let her be against his wish.

"Robin!!" He called and Robin came bowing. Get the physician to examine that new slave's injury and make sure she's healed before noon tomorrow" he ordered and Robin nodded leaving to get the physician.

Master Damien signed and gulped down his drink. He wasn't someone who cares about anyone or listens to a plea but he found himself worrying over her injury and not only was he worried, he also needs her to satisfy him and since she couldn't do that because of her injury, he had to do something about it.

"Go get the door Lucy," Maria said to Luciana when a knock sounded on their door. Luciana rolled her eyes ignoring her and turned to face the wall.

"Luciana I'm talking to you, can you stand up from there and open the door for whosoever that is knocking" Maria scolded but it fell on Luciana's deaf ear.

"I will go, leave Luciana alone" Galene muttered and stop up then walked over to the door and opened it to reveal Robin together with an elderly man who was holding on to a bad at his side.

"What do we do for you?" She asked pinning her gaze on Robin as he wonder if they had come for Lydia.

"The physician is here to examine and treat your wound," Robin said and turned to leave.

Galene who was shocked stared on open-mouthed. "But why would you bring him to me?" Galene couldn't help but ask.

"I didn't bring him on my own, the master ordered so," Robin said without turning back and trotted out in a long slide.

"Can we get into work?" The physician asked bringing Galene out from her reverie.

"Oh, yes come in" she muttered and stepped out of the way to allow him access into the room.

The girls who were staring at the door wondering who could be knocking at the door was shocked to see the master's personal physician in their room.

"What happened Galene and what is he doing here" Maria whispered to Galene as she got closer.

"Robin said the master sent him to come to treat my wound" Galene muttered shrugging while Mariam gasped loudly. Lydia who heard what Galene said also gasped in shock.

"Why would the master send his personal physician to treat her wound when there are other physicians in the castle," the girls thought staring but not daring to talk.

Galene walked over to her bed and laid down on her back removing her robe and baring her back to the physician who started examining the injuries on her back.

He started by applying different herbs on the injuries and also applied a substance on the surface of her womanhood to ease out the slight pains she still felt down there.

After so many minutes, he was done and gave her a cup which was filled with a dark green liquid to drink which she did and returned the cup to him.

"You will be okay before dawn tomorrow and all pains would disappear," the physician said gathering his stuff and leaving the room after Galene thanked him.

Immediately the door shut, the girls except Luciana ran to Galene's bed.

"Why would the master send his personal physician to you Galene?" Lydia asked staring at Galene who was still laying on her back.

"You mean that man is the master's personal physician?" Galene asked and the girls nodded.

There are other physicians in the castle who he could have sent but why his personal one who only attends to him?" Mariam asked and Galene shrugged.

"How would I know of that, I'm as confused as you both" Galene muttered yawning widely.

"Do you think the master might like you Galene?" Mariam asked in a whisper but Galene was already snoring out deeply.

"Do not say that Mariam, he might just be concerned about her injuries" Lydia said not wanting to believe the master likes Galene.

"That's where you got it all wrong, the master does not show any concern to anyone not to talk of his slaves so that is not possible except he likes her," Mariam said and went back to her bed.

"And the master doesn't like her Mariam so stop saying what you do not know, we do not know why he sent his physician but I personally know he doesn't like her" Lydia shrieked glaring hard at Mariam and also going to her bed.

Luciana ignored them and stare at the sleeping Galene with different emotions running through her. She sighed after a while and closed her eyes in sleep.
