The Blackest Market (Claude F. x Servant! Reader)

The Blackest Market - Part 7

Soon the night of the party came, and although you wouldn't admit it, you rather liked the treatment you received that day. You didn't have to do a single chore. No tea to be made, in fact, David brought you tea when you woke up to tell you that today was your day off. "A day off?"

"Yeah, Master said that you're to be treated like a lady today!" He smiled and handed over the breakfast-in-bed that the cook had prepared. You blushed softly and looked down at all the food. Oatmeal, eggs, toast and tea. You ate, but lightly. You still had to fit into that dress after all. As you ate you thought back over the past few days and all the lessons you were put through. 

—-Flashback—-

"Okay Caspia, now remember, this fork is used for meat, and that one for salad. This spoon is used for dessert, and that one for soups."..."Yes Master."

"No, no, no! These dance steps are very important! Pay attention! Now again!"... "Y-yes Master."

"Now Caspia, when you lean in, place your hand on his leg here. At mid-thigh, this is...a very sensitive place for men, and remember to keep eye contact like we practiced."... "Yes Master."

—-End Flashback—-

Just the thought of the acting lessons, and how to appear seductive made you blush heavily. But why? Why did the thought of being so close to your Master make you blush? He was your Master, but you weren't sure if you accepted it just yet. Part of you still thought about leaving every now and then, but it was more bearable than your parent's home. You also didn't have any money to speak of, or a way to get away from the castle. You sighed softly and decided that staying, might not be such a bad idea anymore. 

After breakfast you were given an herbal bath and your hair was styled in loose curls that were half pinned up, and you were given purple make up to match the dress.

At last night fell and you were put into the dress, and jewelry, then told to wait by the front door for the Master. Finally you saw him coming down the stairs, and your voice caught in your throat. He was wearing his Prince's vest. He looked very handsome and you wanted to say something, but didn't, too nervous for words. Your Master walked up to you and smirked. "My, my. You do clean up nicely." He leaned in to whisper. "I wonder what the dress would look like on the floor..." 

He chuckled softly and walked out to the carriage waiting outside. He knew he was teasing you, but in truth he liked it. There was a reason he paid as much as he did for you. There was something...peculiar about you.

He watched your eyes as you came down the steps. You hadn't thought about this, being alone in the carriage with your master for two whole hours or more. You bit your lip as he helped you to enter. You thought you heard him murmur something about a full trunk but quickly forgot about it when he climbed in and shut the door. He sat across from you, relaxed and with a smile on his face. 

"So Caspia, have you enjoyed the day so far? You've not had any chores to do, nothing to clean or cook? Did you like it?" You looked up and quietly nodded, "Y-yes of course Master. Thank you." You bowed your head slightly. 

He moved over to sit next to you, his tongue tickling your ear softly, "Here is the spider that I had shown you earlier." He held up a small box.I've had it custom made to fit on this." He held up a garter belt. "Wh-what's that?" He smiled, "I'll show you were it goes, now don't move."He got down on the floor of the carriage and slipped under your dress, slipping the garter belt over your foot and slowly inching the belt up to your thigh. He attached the spider and smirked before kissing you inner thigh softly. Just to tease you. 

He slipped back out to see your face blood red from shyness. He laughed softly and sat back across from you. Just smiling until you reached the party. Once inside you noticed that many couples had arrived. Lord Beel walked over and bowed, taking your hand, pretending to be a gentleman. "Ah Prince Faustus how lovely to see you, and who might this little turtle dove be?" Claude, also pretending to be civil, smiled. "Lord Beel, it's been too long. This is my date tonight, Caspia." 

You curtsied as you were taught and smiled softly, "H-hello Lord Beel." Wait...Prince? Your Master was a Prince?? 

The music played softly and Lord Beel looked at you two, "Well I want to be a gentleman so the first dance with this lovely lady shall go to you my Prince, but I would like a dance as well before the night is out hm?" Claude smiled and nodded, but as soon as the demon left he snarled softly. 

Soon however his expression softened and he looked at you, "Would you care to dance my lady?" You smiled softly and nodded, "Y-yes please Master." You took his arm as he led you onto the dance floor, twirling about and spinning you out and back into his arms. His arms were muscular, despite being hidden by the clothing. After a few more minutes the song ended and he brought you in for a traditional kiss. This was common practice at parties, and you knew this, however it still took you by surprise. His lips were soft and inviting, and you felt it was over all too soon. It had left you in somewhat of a daze. 

"Would you like something to drink?" Claude looked at you with a curious expression and you muttered something along the lines of 'yes'. You were so dazed that you barely remembered that you had started dancing with him again....Wait, No. The Master was getting you a drink so.... 

You looked up into the eyes of Lord Beel, a bolt of fear rang through your heart when you saw the grin on his face. "I know why you're here my pet..." The words wormed their way out of his teeth and dripped into your ear, causing your heart to sink almost instantaneously.
