The deal

Sebastian walked into the mansion after climbing off from the carriage.

"Milord," A maid greeted him and he lazily nodded.

"Have a bath prepared for me," Sebastian ordered and the maid nodded almost leaving when Sebastian's voice sounded again, " Is the lady awake?" He asked and the maid shook her head.

"I haven't seen her today milord and the last time the maid Celine had gone to check on her, she was still sleeping and that was just a few minutes ago." The maid said as she kept her head bowed.

"Mhm." He smiled a little before he walked away.

Lily stirred on the big bed as she rolled until she fell on the floor.

"Damn it." She cursed as she rubbed her head, sitting on the floor.

She had been awake earlier on but then nervousness took over her morning.

How she was going to go about confronting the man who had brought her here was still a riddle meant for her to solve.

A knock was heard on the door and Lily hissed irritated on how the people kept disturbing her.

"Come in," She said and the door opened gently showing the maid, not the one who had led her to the room the other night,but the one who had taken care of her in Jazmine's place.

It was Celine.

"Milady," Celine greeted as she bowed lightly and Lily smiled as she rose up from the floor to sit on the bed.

"You don't need to bow when greetin, it's kind of awkward," Lily said as she scratched her head clumsily.

"Good morning," She added with a small smile.

"Good morning to you milady" Celine responded to which Lily smiled.

"You are here to get me ready i guess?" Lily asked and it was Celine's turn to turn red.

"Yes milady" She responded and Lily smiled.

"Can you please do me a favour?" Lily asked as she stood up to move to the bathroom with Celine following behind.

"What can I help you with Milady?" Celine who had already prepared the water earlier when she had came into the room asked as she stirred the water to check the temperature.

"I need to see Sebastian and I need you to take me to him, is that okay by you?" Lily stated what she wanted and Celine nodded.

"Sure Milady" she answered as she gently let Lily's clothings down her body, leaving Lily alone inside the bathroom as she prepared the cloths Lily was going to wear for the day.

Lily walked out of the room with Celine following behind her, she wore a light blue dress which was long, her hair braided beautifully with little pins added to it where necessary.

"Breakfast milady?" Celine asked but Lily shook her head.

"Not yet, after I meet with him." She said and Celine could only lead Lily to where her master Sebastian's was.

"We are here milady." Celine said as she let Lily step to the front.

Lily looked at the door and she took a deep breath before knocking the door, almost immediately the door opened and a maid was seen, on seeing it was Lily, she bowed.

"I am here to see Sebastian," Lily said and the maid hesitated a bit but later let Lily in and Lily got in.

It wasn't his room but a study.

Pointing to a door in the room, Lily nodded as she muttered a thank you to the maid.

On getting to the door, she knocked and a deep voice was heard.

"Come in," The familiar voice of Sebastian called and Lily opened the door only to see Sebastian and a blonde man going through different types of maps, Lily didn't concentrate much on the maps as she looked at Sebastian who sat and the blonde man who stood up beside him.

"I have come to see you," Lily said in a hushed voice which wasn't necessary, Sebastian who was about to say something earlier nodded his head.

"Am all ears," He said as he turned all his attention to Lily, but Lily said nothing, she then turned to look at the blonde man as if trying to say something.

"You can go out now," Sebastian said referring to the blonde man who smiled as he turned to look at Lily, he bowed and walked out.

The door closed with a soft click and Lily breathed In relief, she only had one person to talk to.

"We need to talk" Lily said and Sebastian nodded as if telling her she had already said that and Lily cleared her throat.

"Let's make a deal." She blurted out and that sentence seemed to catch Sebastian's attention as he dropped the map which was in his hands earlier.

"What deal?" Sebastian asked at last and Lily smiled, seeming to like the fact he seemed interested.

"I help you with what you need and immediately I do so, make sure to let me go... immediately, you profit from it and I do also by leaving this place." Lily said and Sebastian smiled.

"What kind of deal is that?, sounds lame." He said having a look of mock on his face which Lily frowned to but her expression soon changed.

"What do you say?" She asked and Sebastian nodded.

"I will let you go only if you are able to do what I need of you without... " Sebastian stopped and then he continued "I will let you know of that later."

"It's a deal" She said and Sebastian smiled.

"What a stupid fool she was." Sebastian thought.

Only if she knew what she was getting into.

'A blood covenant would have been stronger' Sebastian smiled as he watched the Lady close the door behind her.

"She would curse you if she finds out what you want her to do," Arthur, the blonde man said as he appeared and sat on a nearby chair.

"A lovely reason for her to stay." Sebastian said with a smirk as he took the map from the table.

"Get me other words to use instead of feelings or hatred" Sebastian added and Arthur cursed.
