Anything for our Lord

~ Chapter 8 ~

When I caught up to him, he was in his office. I spoke up, "My lord. I wanted to say sorry for yelling earlier and throwing a door like that." He stared at me before saying, "Sit down, love. Be my muse." I sat down on one of the couches and asked, "How may I be of help?" He answered, "Just sit there. Maybe the beautiful view of you will help me find a solution." I responded, "So you did not find a solution with Ew- with Lord Stuart?" He explained, "He told me right away what he had done to you and why he did it. I kicked him out immediately. I might disrespect you too but I am your master. He is not and I do not take it lightly if someone treats my servants like that. Especially the one that has me wrapped around his finger." When he said the last sentence, a huge smile appeared on his face. I replied, "Oh, my. Now you are just flattering me, my lord." He laughed, "How can I not flatter someone as beautiful as you, love?" I responded, "Oh my. My lord. If you continue any further, I might have to undress myself immediately since it is becoming quite hot in here. Oh wait. I think that it is just my lord." He laughed, "If you are already offering, you might as well." I replied, "But my lord. You may not touch me. There is still work for you to do." He responded, "I think pleasuring my servants is one of my tasks." I laughed, "Enough, my lord. You need a solution for a problem. What is it about?" He answered, "The new vampire queen that is allowed to come here now. She and her underlings have caused nothing other than trouble. Not only for the BUR but also the crown. There are even rumours that she is planning to overthrow the Queen." I asked, " Does it have to do something with Lord Sterling, Lady Nightingale, Lord Morello and their highness?" He nodded. I said, "I can help. I have worked for Lord Sterling for years. It would be my biggest dream to destroy him and his plans." He asked, "Have you ever met their highness? I tried multiple times and I got her underlings every single time. The only communications, I had with her ,were letters." I answered, "If you mean Lady Carriger, then I have met her multiple times. Not only that I have worked under her too for a few years before I was given to Lord Sterling as a gift. Somehow did Lord Sterling never know about that." He laughed, "I guess I did the right thing when I took you in." I stood up and bowed. Then I responded, "I am not as useless as I might seem." He looked mad at me and replied, "Where did I say that you are useless? I am pretty sure that you know that you are not useless. Especially in pleasing me." I asked, "Where is Lady Carriger?" He took out a map and pointed at the exact location. I asked, "When is it becoming bright outside?" He answered, "Sadly too soon. I will not be able to come with you if you want to go now." I stared at him for a while and then pointed at me. He laughed, "I guess we could use your powers." Quickly we packed some things that we might need and headed out. When we arrived at the place, I knocked on the door. One of her underlings opened the door. I knew that this one has not ever met Lord Sterling. Especially after he greeted Lord Ambrose as Lord Sterling. I spoke up, "My lord has an appointment with Lady Carriger." He let us in and we sat down in the living room. After a few minutes Lady Carriger arrived and spoke, "I heard that my dearest friend, Lord Ster- You are not Lord Sterling." Lord Ambrose replied, "Lady Carriger. What a pleasure to finally meet you. It is quite hard to get an appointment with you." She looked at me and asked, "What are you doing with him?" I answered, "Oh. Lord Sterling just gave me to him." Lord Ambrose sighed and asked, "May we speak now?" Lady Carriger sat down across from us and nodded. The lord explained, "You and your underlings have caused nothing but trouble. Especially if you want to overtake our Queen.  I have to b-" She interrupted him, "The Queen is a weak human. I, on the other hand, am a strong vampire." I interjected, "The crown has worked really hard to get where they are now. Queen Victoria is everything but weak. She has shown the public that she can lead and rule a nation while being a woman." She hissed, "That is coming rich from a human!" I wanted to say something but Lord Ambrose cut me off by saying, "I do not think that we should start calling skin-stealers humans. That is just my honest opinion. But coming back to our original topic. I have to demand that you and your underlings leave immediately and stop causing trouble for the crown. If you do not then you will not be under my protection and the werewolf advisor has the orders to kill every single one of your volk. I find this a rather brutal solution for which I have already tried to contact you multiple times but either my people returned with nothing or their dead bodies were presented in front of me. In this short amount of time causing me so much trouble is a record but not a good one." She cried, "My people and I have no other place to go to. They were kicking us out of our houses. We need to stay here. " He stayed calm and collected  and responded, " You should have thought about that before causing so much trouble. Either way you have caused me to lose a lot of time and energy. Please make it easier for us by just leaving." She asked, "May I take Sebastian back?" He shook his head, "No. Sebastian has already decided to stay here." She hissed, "No, he can not. He is my servant and my property. Lord Sterling had no right in giving him away." Lord Ambrose stood up and responded, "He is not yours. Not anymore. You have given him to Lord Sterling, who I might add is an idiot. He gave Sebastian away." She tried to attack him but I jumped in between them. Quickly, she was turned into a human and stayed as such when I lifted my hand. She was confused. I thought, "Fuck! I should not have done this! Lord Ambrose has to get home safely...and I ruined it by doing this." Lord Ambrose said, "You have till next night to leave the nation." Then we left. When we arrived in the carriage I whispered scared, "She is still human." He looked at me and asked, "What do you mean?" I answered, "I took her vampire side away. Most of her followers should be fleeing already since they do not have a Queen." He placed his hand on my leg and responded with a smile, "That is wonderful. You did great, love." I asked, "Can you carry me to bed? I will try to stay awake till we are inside." He looked worried at me and nodded. Then he asked, "Why would you do this, when you pass out from it?" I answered weakly, "She would have not left and would have killed you. In...In her nails is p-poison..." He comforted me, "Shhhhhh. Do not over do yourself. You did great. Try to rest a little." Before we made it to the house, I passed out. When I woke up again, Lord Ambrose was laying next to me just looking at me. His soft voice filled the room, "Good morning, love." I sat up immediately and pleaded, "I am so sorry, my lord. I could not stay awa-" He cut me off by kissing me before whispering, "Everything is alright, love." His beautiful eyes looked into mine. I went closer to him and started to cuddle with him. Suddenly Lord Stuart entered the room. Lord Ambrose sighed, "You do know that knocking is a thing, right? How did you even get past my servants? And what do you want?" Lord Stuart laughed, "The threat has been eliminated and your servants are quite easy to get passed." Nathaniel limbed into the room and said, " I am so sorry, my lord." Lord Ambrose looked annoyed at Lord Stuart and responded, "What kind achievement is it to get past someone who is hurt?" Lord Stuart shrugged with his shoulders before leaving. Nathaniel asked, "Am I in trouble?" Lord Ambrose stood up and took him into his arms before comforting him, "No, dandelion. You did your best." I asked, "Can I go after Lord Stuart?" Lord Ambrose laughed, "That did not go so well the last time but sure." Quickly I stood up and ran after Lord Stuart. He had not left the house yet and was going down the stairs. Lawrence was looking at him confused. I spoke up, "Ewan!" Lord Stuart stopped walking and turned around. Then he barked, "I told you to not call me by my name!" I responded, "Well, you did get into the house by force. I think it is rather fair. Also you call me by my name too. That usually means that we are on the first name bases." He looked annoyed and barked back, "You are nothing more than a servant! Before you had your crime phase, you could have called me Ewan but not anymore. And what do you want?" I said with a smile, "I wanted to say sorry for what I am about to do." Then I jumped onto him and he lost his balance. We, of course, fell down the stairs. Lawrence came to our aid right away. Ewan asked, "Are you mental? Why would you do that?" I just smiled, stood up and went back upstairs. He could have guessed that I would go psycho when he does stupid things like that. I care dearly about Nathaniel and he did interrupt cuddle-time. When I arrived back in the bedroom, Lord Ambrose asked, "How did it go?" I answered, "Depends. He called me crazy after I threw us down the stairs." Nathaniel and Lord Ambrose looked worried at me. The lord asked, "Are you alright, love? Did you get hurt?" I laughed, "Probably, since my butt is now hurting." Lord Ambrose pointed for Nathaniel to leave. Then he sat down on the bed and pointed for me to lay down, which I did. I felt my clothes being moved. He was inspecting if I had any visible wounds or bruises. The wounds would have been obvious without taking a look since Lord Ambrose, Ewan and I would have smelled the blood but I was fine. Suddenly I felt some arms around me and a head resting on my shoulders. The lord spoke, "Oh love. Please do not do that again. Not only because of Lord Stuart being angry but also for me to not be worried. You are the thing that is most dearest to me, love." Out of nowhere and without realizing it at first I responded, "I love you." The moment I realized what I had said I tried quickly to think of a way to save me from a heartbreak, but the lord asked, "Oh? Is that so, love?" I asked, "Would you be mad if it was so, my lord?" He laughed a little and answered, "Of course not, love. It is just that I do not know if I feel the same towards you. Please give me some time to think about my feelings." I responded, "Of course, my lord." My heart felt a little heavy and in my thoughts it was only going to the negative ones. The lord whispered into my ear, "I do not mean to hurt you. If you feel sad now, then please tell me I do care dearly about you. A lot actually. I just want to be sure of my feelings to not hurt you in the long run." I turned my head towards him and asked, "You know that it does sound like as if you love me, right my lord?" He giggled, "Oh love."
