HIS AND ONLY HIS💓

When she roused on the morrow after the opening of the Empress Contest Festival in the bedroom, it was to an empty bed. She sat up in bed and yawned softly before slowly studying her surroundings, quite muddle headed from sleep. She noted that the blinds were partly closed. She came down from the bed and tried to guess the time as she walked out of the bedroom in search of her personal aide, Xiera. She found the warrior just outside the door of the bedroom.

'Bright Morning to you My Lady,' Xiera greeted her with a sword bow -both hands on each end of the sword and performing a deep bow by bending the waist forward.

'Bright Morning to you to Xiera,' she replied the lady. 'If I may ask, what time may it be Xiera?' she asked still trying to guess by looking around.

'It is somewhere in the hour of the post dawn My Lady,' Xiera answered her with a smile.

'Oh! I see.'

'I will get Hyeera to prepare a bath for you My Lady,' she said. She began to turn away to go do as she had just suggested but then turned back to the Lady. 'Is it alright if I do that?' she asked her Lady with a careful look in her pretty bright eyes.

'It is alright. You can do that.' Xiera nodded and began to leave to do so. 'Thank you,' she told the warrior and headed back in to the bedroom. Where was the beast? She had slept off angry at him yesterday, for flirting with the ladies that were brought afore him in his throne room. She had no idea when he had come to bed or when he had risen. She also didn't know where he was, did not care but also cared at the same time. How confusing was her heart?! She wondered whether the beast had something to do so early in the morning for she was planning on accompanying him today. Mayhap he might had gone to settle matters of the empire? She could not tell at all. Anyways, he had promised her a tour of his throne room and that tour he would give to her wether he was busy or not busy. She smiled to herself, remembering vividly the kiss he had given her the day before in the presence of the maids. Her cheeks grew a faint scarlet, tell tale signs of an uncontrollable blush. She fell atop the huge round bed, tittering gladly, inaudibly. A knock on the door of the bedroom interrupted her absolute childishness. She turned to the door of the bedroom just knowing that it was Hyeera who was there.

'Come in Hyeera,' she allowed. The door opened and someone came in. It was really her, Hyeera, just as she had predicted. It was just nice to guess something correctly.

'A bright morrow to thee My Lady,' Hyeera greeted her.

'Thank you Hyeera,' she said to her, sitting up in bed.

'And how was your night My Lady?' she asked her with a smile.

'It was cozy and refreshing,' she replied squeezing a pillow.

'That is especially good to hear My Lady. I will prepare your bath now my Lady.'

'Oh do not My Lady me Hyeera,' she protested with a grunt.

Hyeera laughed warmly. 'I will not do that anymore,' she assured her lady with twinkling eyes.

'That is so much better.'
