The King's Forbidden Maid

Chapter 1

Rome woke up as the sun shone in to the room, it wasn't the presence she wished to be graced with. She stood to her feet and sighed walking to her closet to change and become the maid for the day. As she slid her uncomfortable out on over her head she heard a knock at the door.
"Rome are you awake?" Rupert, the king's advisor's voice rang out behind her door.
"Yes. What do you want Rupert?"
"The king needs his breakfast please remember to be tolerable when you serve him today"
"I'll tolerate the royal piss baby now let me get dressed"
"Roman"
"Rupert"
Rupert sighed on the other side of the door and then walked away from it muttering under his breath as he walked.
Rome sighed and resumed getting dressed, then walked to the door, leaving the tranquility of her quarters then heading down the hall to the kitchen. The kitchen staff at work making the king's lunch. She sighed as she leaned on the doorframe watching them prepare his meal. Once it was done she pushed herself off the door and picked up a tray with his food on it. She headed out the door with it to his study.
"The King of Hell can't manage to get his own breakfast, fucking Lucifer." she murmured to herself as she headed down the hall, her flats gentling clinking against the marble flooring of the hall.
As she approached the door she knocked on it before opening it. The king sat at his desk, a woman, another maid but not his personal maid that being Rome, trying to flirt with him and him just trying to focus on paperwork. She cleared her throat and the other maid, Quinn, looked up at her with a glare.
"Can I help you?" Quinn said through gritted teeth.
"Mhm, move so the personal maid, can serve the king hmm?" She shoved the other maid away from the king, relief on his face but for a mere moment.
"Hmm, thank you Rome"
"Oh shut it and eat" Rome said harshly and turned to Quinn, "if Ezmerelda sees you on the king like that you're as good as dead so reevaluate your decisions and fuck off."
Quinn glared and walked out of the study with pursed lips.
"You're quite rude" Lucifer spoke as he started on his breakfast in front of him.
"Hmm? Was I trying to be nice? I don't remember doing such."
"Shut it smartass you're talking to a king"
"Who got his position by being thrown out of hell, and then his wife left him, you didn't get it from a regal event"
He bristled his fiery red eyes glaring into her icy blue ones.
"Watch how you speak to me."
"Present me a mirror"
"Rome" Rupert's voice rang out into the study as he looked up at her from a desk in the corner covered in paperwork, "find your manners before I find someone to help you."
Lucifer smirked and ate his food, proud of his advisor. Rome rolled her eyes and plopped down on a couch nearby, she had to wait out the king's eating ability, he made sure to eat at a steady pace as he looked over paperwork that drowned him on his desk. His pen tapping his stubbled chin as he ate, halting him, prolonging my stay in this extravagantly decorated study. His arrogance in his clothes and decor. His rich exterior would be attractive if he had a good personality to go with it but his arrogance put her appreciative gaze to death.
"Rome?" Rupert's voice snapped her back from staring at the king.
Rome looked at the middle age appearing man though he was thousands of years old. His brown hair tied up in a black band, the efficiency of his hair being so slicked back done most definitely by Delia, his wife. His glasses over his amber eyes that looked in her direction.
"Hmm?"
"I'll need you to cater for a meeting later."
Typical a thing of Rupert, she's a maid not a caterer but did that stop to stoic and questioning royal advisor? Fuck no.
"So from maid to caterer, such a career choice you've decided for me, who's coming to meet with the epitome of royal arrogance?" She crossed her legs and smirked at the glare Lucifer shot at her.
"Gemini."
Her smirked died almost too fast. Lucifer's glare turned into an irritated expression, "Gemini?" He said in an annoyed tone.
Rupert let out a sigh, "yes Gemini, she has rights to meet frankly she is a council member."
"Doesn't mean her company is welcome." Lucifer said before sipping some tea.
"Don't speak ill of the woman, or any women Lucifer. Women are delicate but powerful creatures, treat them as such"
"Save the lectures for Rome, she's a witch"
"A bitch if you go far enough" Rome spoke with her arms crossed.
Rupert let out another sigh, "she's already going to be attending, find some manners will you? Both of you."
Lucifer grumbled slightly before pinching his forehead, "what does she want? To get in my pants with her gaze or lip bites?"
"A simple meeting over the local affairs of the pride ring nothing more."
Rome rolled her eyes, "she's gonna pounce at him from across the room and you know such a thing is true, I don't like king of arrogance and being annoying, but she's too much for me"
Lucifer glared and bristled, "I am Lucifer, King of Hell, watch your tone"
"I'm speaking at a calm volume with a respectful tone, my tone is in check, my words not" she smirked.
Rupert rubbed his temples, "both of you, stop. She is coming end of conversation, am I understood?"
Rome rolled her eyes and gave a mock salute. Rupert rolled his eyes in response. Lucifer resumed eating his breakfast not the least bit happy to have to deal with Gemini at some point in the day.
