23 Chapter 23: A Good Morning And A Boring Week (1/2)

Waking up after a not so peaceful night Mournomon sat at the edge of the bed. He stared into his hands, his thoughts unknown to all but himself his eye's blurry as he remembers things that were better left forgotten.

A knock came from the door waking him up from his thoughts, ”Come in”, he called and the door was opened. Just outside the room stood a young girl dressed in a maids outfit, she looked shy which only caused her already pretty face to look even more beautiful.

”I-I apologize for disturbing you, my Lord. I was told to come and wake you by Lady Gremory as well as help you freshen up.”, the little maid said in a low voice,

Mournomon smiled at the shy girl as he slowly rose from the bed, ” So?”, he asked her.

For a moment she stared up at him blankly, not knowing what he meant before quickly looking to the ground, ”Ye-Yes, please follow me to the bath.” she said, quickly turning around and walking off as if fleeing from him.

Mournomon easily followed her, ”What a pleasant distraction?” he thought. The girl had brightened his mood considerably and had left an impression on him.

...

Arriving at the baths the girl heaved out of breath before thinking about how she almost ran here and quickly turned around thinking she might have left Mournomon behind only to run straight into something. ”Ow”, she cutely yelled rubbing her head, staring at what she ran into she saw a perfect eight- pack in front of her, staring up she saw a pair of bright purple eye's staring at her.

For a moment she lost herself in those eyes, she had never seen such strange eyes before, yes the obvious strangeness was its reptilian features but what was even stranger was that when she looked into them she could see flames burning inside, which gave out light and made his eyes shine.

She was brought out of her stupor by a sudden pain on her forehead, ”Ah”, she yelled again, rubbing her forehead and looking at whatever could have hit her and found Mournomon's outstretched finger which he had used to flick her forehead.

”Have you finished staring at me”, Mournomon asked before the little maid could do anything. His words causing her already blushing face to become an even more prominent shade of red.

”Th-This is the bathroom, please enter”, she said not daring to look at him again.

Entering the bathroom Mournomon saw a large bath in the middle of a large tiled room, he quickly threw his battle robe to the ground, much to the horror of the maid and climbed into the bath, the already prepared warm water washed over his body, giving him a pleasant feeling.

Looking around Mournomon saw the little maid standing at the side with her face down. He smiled mischievously before calling to her, ”Hey,” hearing him call out the girl shivered before looking up to meet his smiling face, ”mind washing my back?” he asked to which she could only nod before stiffly walking behind him.

Sitting at the edge of the bath she faces Mournomon's exposed back, took a deep breath before she slowly scrubbed it. ”Aaaah!” Mournomon sighed causing the girl to freeze, ”don't stop” he said and she started scrubbing again.
