Chapter 3

When she was finally done brushing his hair she slowly dropped the brush and said , " my lord I am done " with her eyes on her shoes .

" I don't talk to much so you will have to raise your head to see my next command " he simply said before returning his attention to the book he held while she nodded meekly .

He gestured for her to serve him tea and she quickly poured tea into his cup with her hands still shaking .

" not a dragon, are you ? " he turned to look at her .

" no my lord " she answered without raising her head to stare at his face .

" a snake ? " he asked as his brows raised

" an half cause my mother is a witch and my father a snake " she answered.

" I see " he took a sip from the tea before saying, " you may lea.. " she didn't wait for him to complete saying what he wanted to say before she ran out of his chamber .

Belle made her way to the maids room, when she got in she sat on her bed trying to calm herself . other maids who were done serving the loyals sat in the room also waiting to be called again if the people they serve needed anything.

Belle smiled when she remembered that she touched a white dragons hair which was like a blessing to her.

most of the maids wanted to ask her questions of how she felt when she was serving the lord of slayers but couldn't cause the knew that she will say nothing.

Belle grew up to be a loner but counted as one of the most respectful child, she hardly went out to play with other children of her age even when she reached the stage of a teen , The only times you will find her outside was when she is sent to the market or she went out with her father.

She stood up from her bed and walked up to the mirror that was in the room, she could still the mark of the slap she received from queen Olivia, she used her fingers to trace the marks while remembering the pain she felt.

She slowly loosened her hair went back to pick up a brush before coming to stand in front of the mirror to brush her hair .

one could say she looked like nobody in particular, she had taken both parents good looks . she had her father's color of hair but the length of her hair was from her mother.

" I hope he never sends for me till the day is over " she muttered under her breath as she braided her hair.

" Belle " a voice called from behind and she turned to find a new maid who had just joined them two days ago.

" should I help you with your hair" she offered.

" no thanks I can do it " she flashed a smile.

" but it won't be bad to let me help you would it be ? " the girl stared at her in a way that mad e her give in.

" your hair is beautiful , oh I forgot .My name is Sylvia" the girl gave her a polite smile and she nodded not knowing what to say .

" you don't talk a lot like the others do " Sylvia finished the tip of the braid .

" I don't " she turned to face the girl , The girl's dark hair had loosely fell down to her waist her black eyes looked innocent and she was a little bit taller than Belle.

" Belle a guard is waiting for outside the room " a maid named Lily interrupted her discussion with Sylvia.

At first she found it hard to contribute to what Sylvia was talking about due to her not being the talkative type but Sylvia smiles made her feel at ease and she soon she started talking as well.

She frowned when the guard told her the lord sent for and it was almost evening, she entered into his chamber expecting to see the lord but he wasn't in looking round the room she heard the door opened and the lord walked in with blood torn and stained shirt.

then a guard walked in carrying a box , he placed it on the table.she opened the box before her could ask her too and picked up the tools she will use in cleaning the injuries he had and she kept wondering were he got them from.

' did he fight ? ' she asked herself. he quickly dismissed her when she was done cleaning the injuries.

He knew she was the one and in her absence the pain he felt grew worst .
