"Yes...that is indeed important.." you answered her.

"I'm glad you think so too" she continued,

"Then how about we take some time for ourselves and...get to know eachother~" Lady Dimitrescu finished by letting go of your face and gently playing with your hair.

"That's a good idea actually. What would you have in mind?" you asked her, feeling a little woozy.

"Whatever your heart desires~"

You thought for a while, what does your heart desire?

"I don't really know a lot about myself. So I would like to know more about you" you eventually answered her.

Lady Dimitrescu stopped playing with your hair and looked straight at you, her eyes piercing into your poor soul. Her stare made you feel uneasy but you tried to keep calm.

"Y/N, you should know how I am by now" she started.
"I do not care about simpletons that are in my way or my daughters. I do not care about low life Maidens who cannot do their job correctly. We only care about their flesh, their blood, their life."

"Well. Yes. I do know that side of yours, but there is also the side where you developed your feelings for a low life Maiden"

"Aren't you a silly little thing!" she started laughing.
"How many times am I going to tell you this?" Lady Dimitrescu caressed your cheek.
"You're not a Maiden anymore~"

'Right...'

"Anyhow, you already know that side now, don't you?"

You thought, again. Trying to remember when that side of hers was active, you realised it was actually every time you've encountered her. From her patching your arm back up to taking a blood bath with her.

"I guess I do know that side of you..." you looked to the ground, trying to think of more questions.

"If you don't mind me asking, was there a time where you weren't...like this?" you asked her, not wanting to come off rude.

Lady Dimitrescu let out a small sigh and stood up, patting your head.

"Maybe you'll get to know more about that some time later. Nows not the time for it"

You sighed and were kind of dissapointed, not being able to know more about her. You walked towards her bed and sat down.

"Weird, this pillow...seems kind of, off?" she took the pillow which Cassandra sliced open on accident. You slightly panicked and tried to come up with a lie.

"There was a small hole in that pillow...I stitched it back together before the hole got bigger" you explained.
Lady Dimitrescu turned the pillow around to the other side and then back to the previous one.

"The marks resemble a sickle, are you sure it was just a hole?" she asked while she kept her eyes on the pillow.

You gulped.

"Tell me the truth, I won't hurt you" she reassured you.

'That sounds more like a threat then something comforting...' you thought to yourself.

"Well...one of your daughters slashed it up on accident.." you answered, trying to not rat out on Cassandra.

"It was Cassandra, right?"
You were startled by her sudden guess and started to panic again.
"I- Uh..- Please don't do anything to her. I fixed it for you, so don't be mad at Cassandra-" she cut you off by softly chuckling. She laid down the pillow softly and sat down next to you.

"Isn't it just adorable how much you care about my daughters?" she started.

"Even though they've been trying to kill you for years?"

You sat there, not knowing what to answer. She does have a good point. All these years they toyed around with you, waiting for you to make a mistake so you could just die.

"I-"

Lady Dimitrescu took your face back again to her grip and shushed you with her thumb.

"Should I just, want you dead too? So you can care about me?" she said softly, stroking your lip with her thumb.

"I don't think-" she gently wrapped her other arm around your waist.

"I could end it all right here, right now. If I just pull out my claws" she continued, coming closer to your face. You felt how her hand, that was around your waist, got sharper and sharper every second.

"There are so many things I just want to do with you~"

'Please say blood baths...at least those are one of the normal things...kinda'

"So many, unknown things that you don't know of and I want to be the one making them known to you~"

'Not sure if I should enjoy this or be worried of my back being slice open if she doesn't retract her claws in very soon'

"If you want to live, my dear~ Why don't you go ahead and do what I planned on doing?"

Lady Dimitrescu now took you closer to her body, feeling her cold chest press against you. Her claws started to pierce through your clothes.

'Am I even capable of doing what she wishes for...?'

You tried to calm yourself and took a deep inhale and then exhale.

"Could you...maybe slowly retract your claws back in..?" you asked her before you continued with her wish.

"Where is the fun in that, if I retract them?" she replied, playfully.

"Yes...of course."

You gently took Lady Dimitrescus face and slowly pulled it towards yours. Her face was soft but also a bit abrasive.
Taking in one more deep breath, you kissed her.
She slowly retracted her claws and moved her hand up to hold your face.
She now held your head with both of her hands, which made it harder for you to pull away from the kiss.

This feeling, made you feel, nice? It was forced, but, at the end, it's nice. It's rewarding.
After all the hard work inside this castle, cleaning all the dust and the blood off. Hearing the screams of your fellow Maidens dying.
This is your reward. This is yours to live.

As you, yourself got into the kiss the door swung open.

"Mother. Daniela is bad at putting and hiding the flask somewhere safe...she put it into your bathtub which I found in about 10 seconds-" Bela entered the room with Daniela next to her.

"I just laid it down there, cause I was thinking about where to hide it-" Daniela argued back to her elder sister and just stopped in shock.

Lady Dimitrescu pulled away from the kiss and looked joyful. You didn't know how many more times you were going to panic this day, but it was a lot. You looked over to Bela and Daniela, both of them looked unpleased.

"Give the flask to me then" Lady Dimitrescu turned away from you and faced her 2 daughters.

"I will take care of it"
