The King's Forbidden Maid

Chapter 6

Lucifer took his leave from his room after Rupert found him by following the smell of burning letters. After he left Rome took the time to actually clean the room. She stood in his closet, the mess she let pile up and up. She took the clothes on the floor and placed them in the hamper with the rest of the floor bound clothing. She then placed the shoes where they were supposed to go, on the shoe rack, but they were thrown beside the damn thing. Men. As she moved around the closet she managed to get it relatively tidy before finding his ex-wife's clothes, she was elegant and rich it seemed based off her clothes. Rome only knew her for a year before she decided to take off with a king in another kingdom, per her father's request. Lucifer wasn't too bothered by the event, from what he displayed outside, but his work faltered. 

That was 100 years ago, her clothes were perfectly intact and remained elegant as ever. She folded the dresses, blouses and skirts placing them in the corner of the closet where she found them. She found an elegant blue dress, it was icy blue much like Rome's eyes and it was beautiful. It had see through sleeves that would be draped over the shoulders, an opal pendant in the center of the chest holding the sleeves. There was a corset style darker blue part around the waist and then the rest of the dress was the icy blue part, falling as an elegant blue gown. It was truly beautiful and she was genuinely pissed that it got left behind by the witch Lucifer married. 

Rome threw it in the corner with the rest of her clothes and looked around the less cluttered closet. Her eyes glanced back at the dress before she left the closet shutting off the light and shutting the door. As she left she looked around the bedroom she cleaned a moment ago. It was still neat and tidy. She then moved to the adjacent bathroom. It wasn't much a mess except for some clothes that existed on the floor, tea stained as Lucifer mentioned before. She rolled her eyes and knelt down picking them up. She checked the pockets of the pants as she typically does because she didn't once and found a melted chocolate bar too late into the wash. This time though she found, trash and a ring of keys. She sighed and placed them on the counter of the sink. She walked to the hamper and placed them in it. As she did Lucifer ran back in.

"Hmm?" she glanced at him as she placed his clothes in the hamper.

"Did you see-"

"Some keys? They are on the sink in the bathroom, along with crumbled up paper and a granola bar wrapper."

He to a breath of relief and walked to the bathroom. She rolled her eyes and walked back to the bathroom.

"What are you doing?" he asked as she walked in.

"Oh calm it down Luci, I'm cleaning, you interrupted me."

He just watched as she picked up some wrappers in the bathroom and threw them away, practically his signature at this point. She looked up at him from where she knelt on the floor.

"You have a staring problem?"

"Huh?" his gaze now fixated on her face from where it originally fixated, the origin unknown to her and him even. 

"Don't be falling for me now, I am not easy to tie down, though I do like the ropes," she smirked and stood up throwing the wrappers in the trash.

"What?! No I wasn't-"

"Relax Lucifer I was joking, calm your tits please and thank you" she moved in front of him, "could you move?"

"Move?"

"Yes from in front of the sink"

"Why?"

"So I can make a witch's brew...to clean it, Lucifer"

"Oh" he stepped aside for her and watched as she knelt in front of the cabinet as she opened it.

As she reached for cleaning supplies, Lucifer's gaze lingered longer than it should have and traveled down from her hair, her shoulders, the trail of her spine, further down to her ass, then what was visible of her legs, the stockings on her legs causing him to think thoughts he'd rather not have of his maid. He shook his head and the thoughts away. She stood up and he looked at her through the mirror. Her icy blue eyes twinkled in the lighting of his bathroom. Rome glanced at him through the mirror.

"What?"

"Huh?"

"Why are you staring at me?"

"I wasn't"

"The I'm fucking Aphrodite," she murmured as she started to clean the sink.

He blinked and his eyes trailed down again.

"If you keep undressing me with your gaze, I'll catch a cold," she murmured as she turned around and crossed her arms over her chest as she looked at him.

He looked up at her face his face reddening, "I wasn't."

"Bullshit."

"That's incredibly unprofessional and I wouldn't, I'm a king, I have no reason to gaze upon a maid"

"Yes, but here you are, gazing at my ass and back like it is enticing," she smirked and cocked her head to the side, "do I entice you, your majesty?"

His face reddened more, "No, no you don't I can have any woman I want in this kingdom, I don't have to settle for a maid."

"Oh? Then why don't you?" 

"Pardon me?"

"Why don't you go get any woman?"

"I have no reason to."

"You haven't fucked a woman in 100 years, you are probably so pent up-"

"That matter doesn't concern you, I am just fine on my own"

"Mhm, you and your empty lotion bottles?"

"Roman!"

"Just saying" she smirked and left the bathroom, leaving the cleaning supplies and rag on the counter.

Lucifer grabbed the keys he came for and then walked out with her, "You have no obligation to 'just say' anything, I'm your king!"

"Oh the king card? Titles mean nothing when I have worked for you for so long Luci"

"Don't call me Luci!"

"Luci, Luci, Luci!"

The bedroom door swung open and Rupert stood there with a glare for the both of them. They both stopped as if they were children to be scolded by their mother. Rupert walked over to them and grabbed them by the ears dragging them down the hall. They both yelped slightly in pain, Lucifer was slightly taller than Rupert but that didn't halter him, Rome was shorter, that didn't stop him either.

"Both of you are acting like children" he murmured.

"She started it!"

"Did not!"

"Did to!"

"Both of you please! One of you is a king, act as if you are, for the love of hellfire!" Rupert said with a hint of annoyance lacing his calm voice. 

Rome and Lucifer glared at each other as Rupert walked them elsewhere. Rupert dropped Rome off at the kitchen door.

"Go fetch his lunch he'll be in his study." 

Rome rubbed her ear and headed into the kitchen. Rupert then continued to the study still dragging Lucifer by the ear. 

"I can managed on my own you know," Lucifer grumbled.

"Can you?" Rupert retorted and he escorted him to his study.
