Forgotten Wife

CHAPTER 24: A WICKED MAID

Rebecca was very happy to have some freedom again, that night she slept deeply, so much so that the next day she fell asleep, one of the maids woke her up in a rude way by pulling the sheet off her and speaking to her in a contemptuous voice.

-Wake up, how long are you going to sleep.

Rebecca opened her eyes and found a maid looking at her with a hateful look.

-Get up.

Rebecca got up, not wanting to get into a fight with a servant.

-Where is the other maid?

-She's sick, I'll take care of you.

-It's not necessary, you can go.

The maid threw Rebecca's clothes on the bed and said.

-Better, I didn't want to serve you either.

The maid left the room, Rebecca took her dress and changed wishing not to see that maid again, but it was not so, during breakfast Rebecca saw the same maid again, she behaved politely, but her look was still full of hatred.

When Rebecca got up to go to her classes and passed by the maid she put her foot on her to trip her. As she fell to the ground Rebecca looked at the maid, but she pretended she had done nothing, other maids helped her up and asked her if she was all right.

-I'm fine- she told them.

Fergal appeared and when he saw her he asked.

-What are you doing? It is late.

-I'm sorry, I overslept.

-Let's go.

Rebecca followed Fergal to the room where she was receiving lessons, he handed her a book and said.

-I hope the princess will pay attention to me today.

-I will, from now on.

Fergal thought it strange that the princess was so cooperative and asked.

-Did something happen to make the princess change her mind?

-Her majesty promised me that she would reduce my lessons if I paid attention.

-I see.

Fergal continued his class, at the end of his class Rebecca went home and took care of her orchard, that night in the king's chambers Rebecca waited for Setherian to arrive, he was late as usual, when he saw that she was awake he said to her.

-Hello princess, what are you doing still awake?

-I was waiting for his majesty.

-What for?

-I still haven't forgotten that I have to give a son to his majesty.

-A few days ago you seemed to have forgotten.

-At that time I was annoyed with her majesty.

-Now you're not?

-No, his majesty has kept his promise, well halfway.

Setherian approached Rebecca and said.

-So, today you intend to fulfill your wifely duties?

-Yes, unless his majesty is tired.

-I am not.

Setherian leaned over to kiss her and said.

-I suppose the time has come for us to fulfill our wifely obligation.

Setherian continued to kiss her, his hands wrapped around her waist, Rebecca stood still, arms at her sides.

-If you stay so still this will be boring.

-But Lady Patricia told me I should just stand still and her majesty would do the rest.

-Did she really tell you that?

-Yes.

Setherian took her in his arms and carried her to the bed, laid her down gently, settled on top of her and took her lips again, while devouring her mouth he said to her.

-You can also touch me if you wish.

Rebecca raised her hand and plunged her fingers into Setherian's hair feeling its softness, he was surprised that she did that and asked her.

-Why are you only touching my hair?

-I don't know, I just wanted to touch it, doesn't your majesty like that?

-It's not that, it's just that...- Setherian sighed deeply and told her -It doesn't really matter.

And he continued kissing her, enjoying the softness and warmth of her lips, his hands went down her neck until they reached her breasts, he squeezed them and Rebecca moaned.

-That hurts.

-I'm sorry.

Setherian caressed Rebecca's breasts gently.

-That's better- he asked.

-That feels weird, why are you touching me there?

-Because they're soft.

-But...- Rebecca began, but Setherian silenced her with a kiss.

-You talk too much- he said.

Setherian continued caressing her body and kissing her lips, giving short kisses that little by little became deeper, something that began to scare Rebecca, she began to tremble, Setherian noticed, he got off her and said.

-Actually I am very tired and tomorrow I have to get up early because I have to go out to inspect the kingdom, it will be better to leave it for another day.

Rebecca was relieved as she did not feel ready, Setherian settled her head on the pillow and told her.

-I'll be away for a few days, while I'm gone you don't have to stay at the palace if you don't want to, but you must continue with the magic lessons.

-Really?- Rebecca smiled broadly.

-Yes, but you should hide your happiness a little.

-I'm sorry.

-Never mind, you'd better go to sleep.

Rebecca crawled into the sheets, she settled her head on the pillow and said.

-Good night, your majesty.

Setherian turned off the lights with his magic plunging the room into darkness and said to her.

-Good night princess.

The next day when Rebecca woke up the king was no longer there, she was going to get up when she heard a knock at the door, it must be the maid who helps her to dress in the mornings, Rebecca gave her permission for them to enter, however when she saw who was the one who had entered she wanted her to leave at that very moment, it was the same maid who had been rude to her the day before, she looked at her with hatred and told her.

-Change or you will be late.

-I told you it was not necessary for you to come," Rebecca replied.

-The head maid sent me, if I don't do my job, I'll be fired.

The maid helped Rebecca to get dressed and then said to her.

-I will comb your hair, sit down.

Rebecca sat down on a chair in front of a mirror, she found it strange that the maid wanted to help her with her hair, however, she did as she was asked. While she was combing her hair she pulled her hair making her squeal in pain and said to her.

-Stop complaining so much, it's your fault for having tangled hair.

When the maid finished combing her hair Rebecca had a headache from all the tugging she had given her and vowed never to let her hair be combed again.
