Blood Like Yours | Lady Dimitrescu x Female Reader

Chapter 2: Maiden

The tall lady left the room with her daughter, making it able for you to take a few deep breaths, you then held your leg.

"Shit! This hurts like hell!" you got rid of your other clothes and ripped some of them apart wrapping it around your bleeding leg, securing it.

"This will only stop the bleeding, but not the pain..." you sighed and got into the dress, which fit you very well. You grabbed the rest of your old clothes and went out of the room, looking around for the Maiden you've seen before. The hallways were nicely decorated with some fancy vases and plants, also some old paintings. You finally saw the Maiden from before and tapped her shoulder, she shrieked back and looked up to you.

"Oh- it's just you...! I see you're in uniform, that must mean" she looked around and took you with her outside to a courtyard,

"Hey! What're you...?"

"The daughters can't hear us out here, they're sensitive to cold weather" she explained and then looked at you excited.

'Daughters? There are more...?'

"So how was the Lady of the Castle? Lady Dimitrescu ?" she asked you. The name gave you shivers down your spine and it made you remember the dangerous threat she gave you.

"She's tall...very, very tall. It's actually really intimidating. Why are you asking me? You're the one who works here" she scratched her head, "I am working here but...I've never seen Lady Dimitrescu personally before. It's always the daughters who introduce us to the Castle and play with us"

"Us?" you were confused, she was the only Maiden you've seen so far, so why did she say us.

"Oh, I can't really say us anymore now can I?" she chuckled nervously and sounded actually sad, "they're killing us off one by one, just for our blood. One day, it's my turn. It might be today, or tomorrow, or worse, NOW" she began to shake. You comforted her and pat her back,

"It's going to be alright..."

"No! It's never alright! This Castle is hell! The basement is a complete disaster!"

"Then let's not try to think about the worst now. Let us just talk about the good things ahead of us" you put out your hand, "I'm Y/N by the way. Lady...uh" you struggled with the Ladys name, which made the Maiden chuckle.

"It's Lady Dimitrescu. I'm Magnolia, nice to meet you" she smiled and shook your hand. "Yes, Lady Dimitrescu..she said that you're supposed to teach me what to do around here"

Magnolia nodded intensely and grabbed your hand pulling you inside again and showing you around the Castle and the parts you were supposed to clean.

"I will take care of the rest, it is your first day after all" she smiled at you and turned around. "You can start wherever you want to, I will be heading out to continue the rest of my chores" she stopped before leaving,

"Oh and...make sure not to anger the daughters, especially the Countess herself..." then she left.

You looked out the window,

"Lady Dimitrescu, huh?" you groaned a bit holding your leg, sighing. You grabbed a bucket and started your own chores.
