31 Enslavement- Part 2 (2/2)

”Ms. Curtis. Lord Nicholas would like you to try this one,” the owner spoke, her voice a little uneven.

”Thank you,” outstretching her hands to look at it, she found that it was actually a simple dress, the top was white with a puffed shoulder sleeve and from the high waist to the floor blue in color with two layers at the bottom. To her relief the neckline went up to the collar. Once she was done, she ran her hand over the skirt which was soft as a feather. When she came out, Lord Nicholas was back in his seat and when he looked at her, a pleased look was replaced on his face. His deep, stained red eyes looked at her, taking in the dress she wore until his eyes settled on her face which had turned a little red.

”What do you think, Sibyl darling?” Lord Nicholas asked getting up from his seat to come and stand in front of Heidi.

”I think she looks lovely, milord,” Sibyl replied, both her hands holding each other with an anxious look on her face.

”Doesn't she,” he spoke to no one in particular whilst he looked at Heidi, her brown doe like eyes looking up at him.

She didn't know what the Lord was playing at but the look he was giving her was making her chest feel unsettled. In the beginning her eyes had darted at the other people in the room when he had spoken, her eyes had snapped to look at him. When he took a step forward, she finally broke away her gaze before she would catch into flames.

She could still feel his eyes when spoke to the butler, ”Stanley, please get the other items I have asked for and get the carriage ready,” he then spoke to her usual soft voice, ”Shall we leave, milady? You don't need to change again.”

The Lord uttered a few pleasantries with the owner before they exited the shop.

”Where are we going?” she asked him curious when the Lord took her to another street.

”A short sight seeing.”
