Resident Evil Village: The Fifth Lord

3 [You're Fate Is Sealed Child]

Walking back to the mansion was enough to calm me down from the exciting time at the meeting and I must say it was worth it, I never stopped thinking about the little nicknames Karl gave me when we talked to each other it always made me smile a little and blush. It might not have meant something to him but for me it meant the world to me I guess you can say he might be the only person who could bring any sort of happiness in my life.

In my lost thoughts I didn't notice I was standing on my porch so soon I was so caught up in my own little world. I reached for the handle of the door opening it and closing it behind me, sighing to myself I thought I would be greeted with the silence of the house once again but I was wrong and yet surprised hearing my grandmother's cackling coming from the living room surprised me for sure.

Walking down the halls and to the kitchen I saw her sitting by the dining table doing whatever voodoo she did best, I sighed and shook my head as I walked closer into the room putting on a kettle for tea.

"I'm surprised you stayed here" I said to her as I turned on the stove and started the tea.

"Don't be silly child, I maybe old but I know when to rest these old bones of mine" she said still looking at the cards she had on the table.

"That's one way of putting it, I saw the child's father you spoke about his soul is an interesting color one I never seen before" I started up a little conversation with her to see what she had to say about this Ethan guy.

"Ah yes, I also see that you finally came out of the shadows" she spoke still not looking at me as she laid down a card on the table.

I rolled my eyes a bit before turning around taking the kettle of the stove and pouring the hot water in two cups for our tea.

"The wheels of fate flow freely now, speaking to Lord Heisenberg will very much show you a new world maybe even help you learn of a burden that hangs over your head" she spoke again which made me pause in my movements, turning my head over my shoulder to look at her she had laid two more cards down on the table.

"Grandmother, there is no burden over my head" I tried laughing it off as I walked over to the table placing the two cups on the table for us.

"Child, any woman in your position would feel the same way you do; alone and lost in what could have been" my grandmother's words made me slowly think about back to those old times that were now nothing but reminders.

"I doubt no woman would sell their soul to the devil so easily like I did...." I softly spoke as I brought the warm cup of tea to my lips slowly sipping it.

Letting a silence come down around us that was comfortable for us as she some time mumbled to herself about the cards and what they said but I was barely listening to her because once again I was lost in my own thoughts again.

Even the thoughts lead to Karl and what grandmother spoke about him, would it lead to something more between us? Or was she once again making nonsense? Even it did go that far I doubt he wanted someone who was broken and still looking back to the past. I sighed to myself before standing up seeing it becoming dark outside softly telling my grandmother goodnight as she just mumbled to herself.

Walking slowly up the stairs that creaked with each step my mind was still in the past until I found myself in my chambers the darkness complemented the silence as I stood in the doorframe for a moment before flicking a candle on slowly closing the door behind me slipping out of my clothes was ease; putting on my nightgown that reached my kneels the thin straps let my shoulders free from my clothes leaving imagination to what else was underneath it. I grabbed my red robe made out of the finest silk wrapping it loosely around me before opening the balcony doors to the balcony that was outside of my bed chambers, feeling the cold night air was nice again my warm skin I closed my eyes gently as I took in the forest air around me.

Glancing to the factory made me think back to Karl again how charming he was towards me was enough to make my heart flutter by the thought. Again lost in my damn thoughts I didn't hear any footsteps that were walking close to the house where I was until someone cleared their throat to make my head look down seeing who it was.

"Lord Heisenberg what a pleasant surprise" I smile charmingly leaning against the railing of the balcony.

"Drop the lord crap I hate formalities, just call me Karl" he said looking up at me as he smoked a cigar can't tell you how many I've seen him smoke one a day.

"Very well" I chuckled mostly to myself.

"What bringing you up here? Must have been a real hike from your factory to my mansion" I asked wondering what would bringing him here in the middle of the night.

"Came to ask you something" he said placing his sledgehammer on the ground leaning slightly against it.

"Oh?" I said raising a brow with interest.

"If your free tomorrow come to my factory, I'll give you a tour and speak about something I've been cooking up" Karl said to me with a smirk once he looked at me.

Damn if only he wasn't wearing those damn sunglasses I would love to see his eyes that I know he was burning into mine behind those sunglasses.

"I think I'll find plenty of time to visit you and your factory" I said back not keeping my smile a secret on my face I just hope he didn't see me blushing.

He chuckled as he smirked taking another puff of smoke from his cigar before tossing it to the ground stomping it out before looking at me again.

"It's a date, doll face" he chuckled again before slinging his hammer over his shoulder tipping his hat before turning around and walking back to his factory for the night.

I smiled a small bit when I turned around walking back to the bedroom closing the doors behind me before sitting down on my bed sighing for a moment.

"Damn that old hag for being right...." I said to myself plopping myself on my back on the bed.
