The lycan immediately turned its focus on Lady Beneviento, sending a wave of fear through me as it began making its way toward her. 'I can't let her get hurt,' I lifted my gun again before pulling the trigger. Once. Twice. Five times until the clip was empty. The lycan fell just a few feet before it could reach Lady Beneviento, causing relief to wash over me.

She was at my side a moment later, her hand trembling as it hovered over my form. More growls filled the air before we both snapped out of whatever trance we were in, causing her to help me stand and rush back to the mansion. Once inside, I used my body to shut the door — despite the lycans ramming into it — so the lady could lock the door.

"Come with me," She whispered and grabbed my wrist. "I'm going to call Karl and..."

There was another bang on the door before howls rang out, and the sound of the lycans scurrying away followed suit. "...Looks like they're gone — I guess they were after the rouge lycan..."

"Still... Come with me?"

"Of course, my lady."

I walked with her — her grip on my wrist never loosened — until we reached her workspace, where she took a seat and motioned to the chair next to her. Once I took the seat, Lady Beneviento lifted her hands to her veil, making me tense in shock. 'She doesn't even take that off at family meetings...' When the veil was removed and set to the side, I let out a soft gasp.

"I-If you want to work for Alcina after-,"

"No offense to your sister, my lady, but why would I? I have it easy here — even Angie isn't too bad half the time,"

"I'm gonna bite you again!" The doll yelled. "I don't care that you were almost eaten!"

"Angie!" Lady Beneviento scolded with a small frown on her face.

"...Sorry."

I giggled before continuing. "Besides, who else is gonna make sure you eat on a proper schedule? I know how you work, my lady, if I wasn't here, you would only eat and sleep after you finish making a doll!"

"You sound like a concerned girlfriend."

'That's because I'm half of that... Hoping for a "someday" is too much to ask anyway.'

"I-I didn't mean t-to say that!"

"Well, you're half right either way," I giggled, a bittersweet smile on my face. "I am concerned. I know you're a powerful lord just like the others, but the others eat and sleep a... normal-ish amount. Before I came along, you were working yourself to death — it's a miracle I managed to help you get on a healthy schedule."

Her lips parted momentarily, shock taking over her face. 'I said too much... Can she tell from just that that I like her?! No-no... I'm... Overthinking! Yeah! I'm just overthinking!'

"I-I shouldn't have said any of that..."

I slowly stood when she remained silent, excusing myself and heading to my room. Once in there, I put the gun in a lockbox and slid it under my bed, nearly jumping out of my skin when I turned around and noticed Lady Beneviento. She held her veil in her hands as she walked closer to me, keeping her head down.

"I didn't order you to leave," She muttered once she was close to me.

"...I-I'm sorry?"

Lady Beneviento huffed before she hesitantly grabbed one of my hands, interlocking our fingers. "There's... Something I wanted to tell you... But, you left..."

"I didn't think... I-I'm sorry, please, go on."

She sat on my bed and pulled me to sit with her, refusing to look at me. "That day Mother Miranda brought you here... I-I was ready to fire you immediately, but when I heard you talking to one of the dolls, I decided to give you a chance."

"I'm glad you did — and I'm glad I didn't give you a reason to regret this."

"When I saw you were playing with the dolls later still — with Angie — I... I realized something."

"And what is that, my lady?"

Lady Beneviento's lips ghosted over mine, her body trembling as her balled fists rested on my thighs. "I..."

"Yeah," I breathed, hesitantly sliding my hand along her jaw, entangling my fingers in her hair. "You may kiss me."

"I've wanted to do this for so long," She muttered before her lips were on mine, finally connecting in a passionate kiss.

The lady smiled into the kiss when I returned it immediately, making my heart skip a beat. I smiled wide when she slowly pulled away from the kiss, her cheeks coated in a pink hue. 'This is probably the first time she's felt something like this,' I wrapped my arms around her when she let her head rest on my shoulder. 'It was probably weird for her to develop feelings for her maid-.'

"How long have you liked me for?"

"In general or...? Because, honestly, you were-."

Lady Beneviento huffed and lightly smacked my arm. "I'm still your boss!"

I smirked and tilted her head up, locking eyes with her. "I like bossy."

Her cheeks flushed a deeper shade before she buried her face against my shoulder. "Ugh, how did I fall for you?!"

"Awe, you have feelings for me?!"

"I can fire you, you know."

"My lady?"

"Hm?" When she looked up again, I stole a kiss and grinned at her.

"The feeling's mutual — but to answer your question; a long time."

"...Yeah, me too," She giggled before standing and tugging me to my feet. "Come to my room — let's talk until we fall asleep."

"...Still nervous-?"

Her grip tightened on my hand as she turned away, her voice much softer than before. "Please?"

I moved closer and placed a kiss on her cheek, giving her hand a gentle squeeze. "Of course, my-."

"Donna."

"Of course, Donna. Anything to make sure you know I'm still alive — and not planning on leaving your side."
