The King's Forbidden Maid

Chapter 4

Lucifer looked at her and then leaned back in his chair. Rome looked up at him still wearing her smirk, "troubles your highness?"
"Your attitude needs adjusted." He hissed, then sipped his tea leaning against his hand, his red hair resting on his shoulder. 

Her blue eyes observed his hair for a moment, then moved to his face, his stubble, his red eyes that danced with the lighting, his expression annoyed and challenged by her. As she looked at him a smirk crept on to her face noticing how much she got under his skin by doing so little brought joy to her frosty soul.

"You going to continue to ogle me Rome?"

"You going to continue to glare Lucifer? And frankly I'm observing not ogling."

He narrowed his eyes and sat his tea on the desk before leaning back into his chair, raising his hand up to his face, leaning on it. He looked at her with precision, taking in her features. Her blue hair, her icy blue eyes, her pale skin, the way her figure curved. He glanced back up at her face to avoid any thoughts he'd rather not have over his maid occurred in his mind. As he admired her Rupert returned from dealing with his disappointing son. Rupert walked to his desk in the corner of the room, tending to some paperwork as he sat down.

For a while there was not a word spoken amongst the three, but when the door opened and a tall raven-haired woman with a curvy figure walked in they all exchanged annoyed glances, the woman before them Gemini. Gemini was attractive, on the outside. Inside she was a tyrant, a whiny tyrant at times. She walked to a couch in front of Rome and gave her a glare that look like she saw Rome as nothing but filth on the bottom of her shoe. She took a seat and Rome gave her a cup of tea along with a plate of scones. She looked like she'd rather die then be graced with Rome's presence, let alone the food. Rome smirked and stood up from the couch and moved over to Lucifer's side as she typically had with every meeting, she was there to cater to guests, but mostly to the king. Lucifer leaned back in his chair speaking to her in a whispered tone.

"Must you challenge this witch?"

Rome smirk grew and she whispered back, "I must challenge every witch, bitch and bastard but I do so with reason." 

Lucifer groaned before sitting up and looking at Gemini. The meeting needed to start and it was going to be infuriating.
