The King's Forbidden Maid

Chapter 8

After Rome left the study to carefully instruct one of the guards of the plan, the one she found was Elric, a tall, broad and easily annoyed guard. He was reluctant but agreed, absolutely not enjoying the experience of having to hold the king down for mere amusement, but it was still on the clock. 

Once he was in place and instructed properly by Lucifer, Rupert moved to hide in the bathroom and Rome headed to go get Paris. As she exited the study and headed down the corridor, to the kitchen, she contemplated, her life at this point. She also contemplated Lucifer and how he was so bored that he was gonna draw this out for truly unnecessary reasons. She placed her hand on the kitchen door and heard Paris inside. She swiftly put her phone on record and opened the door some recording whatever she was saying.

"Once that love spell kicks in to that miserable king, he'll be mine, I'll have this kingdom in my hands and no one can stop me" she moved her hair out of her face and smirked twirling a knife in her fingers. 

Rome rolled her eyes and put her phone in her pocket before entering the kitchen. Paris smiled at her as Rome approached her.

"The king wishes to see you." Rome said with a smile her voice holding no malice or trickery.

"Oh me? What for?" Paris smiled with fake sweetness.

"He said it was urgent and he needed to see you, not much else"

"Oh well I shouldn't keep him waiting hmm?" she smiled and placed the knife on the counter, then turning to walk out the door.

Rome watched her leave then sighed, she took out her phone and sent the recording to Rupert. She then put her phone back in her pocket and walked to the door herself, leaving the kitchen and heading to the study. Paris was several steps ahead of her, she noticed her fingers were a little pink on the tips of them, like magical residue was left, showing how inexperienced she truly was at her spell. People who are powerful in such magic, know to wash their hands and also know to not use a removable or noticeable item in a soup. Her inexperience caused Rome to roll her eyes. She opened the study door and behind the desk was Lucifer being held by Elric.

"I need to see Paris! Right now!"

"Sir you aren't alright! Please calm down!" Elric's voice was annoyed currently, so it fit the situation.

Lucifer looked up at Paris as she entered the study. He smiled at her and his eyes had hearts, his own little touch to the act unless he ate the fucking parsley to sell this charade. Rome rolled her eyes and leaned against the doorframe.

"Leave us." Lucifer hissed at Rome and Elric.

Elric reluctantly released him and sighed. He left the room, Rome cocked her head to the side before turning around on her heel and shutting the door as she left. Once she released the door knob she was teleported to a cabinet behind Lucifer's desk. She swiftly sat up against the back of it and took her phone out to record. This confirmed he was under no influence of the spell, thank Satan. 

"You needed me my king~?" Paris smiled, her voice somewhat sultry, her hands in front of her, her fingers intertwined. 

Lucifer's eye slightly but not visibly to her twitched, "Yes I do," he smiled, his smile a full act but she was completely sold, "I have a feeling you and I have...a connection of sorts~"

She smirked and walked closer to him, "Oh and what connection do we have~?" she stopped in front of him, her smirk plastered on her freckled face, her eyes filled with mischief. 

Lucifer looked down at her with smile that held fake love but she felt it was the effect of her love spell. She reached up and touched his arm.

"That love spell seems to have worked faster than expected." she murmured, standing close to the cabinet Rome was in. 

It was loud enough for Rome to get it on the recording. She smirked and flicked him with a small bit of ice to state she's got her recorded. Once Lucifer felt the ice he smirked down at Paris.

"A love spell, ay?" he cocked his head to the side, "Now why would you go around admitting it hmm Paris?" he moved away from her and opened the cabinet, Rome sat there criss crossed facing them holding her phone with a smirk on her face, she replayed the part where Paris admitted to using the love spell.

"You sure do love mentioning that love spell huh?" Rome smirked.

Lucifer extended a hand to her helping her out of the cabinet, Rome wiped her hand off on her dress once she was standing.

"What?! This...This was a trap!?"

"Mhm, problem Paris?" Rome smirk widened.

Paris glared at them both then moved to the door swiftly, Elric opened it and stood there leaning against the door. 

"I think not." he said, still annoyed. 

She swiftly moved to a window nearby and Rupert stepped out of the bathroom and blocked her path. 

"Going somewhere?" he asked and adjusted his glasses.

Paris backed up and looked around her at the four that essentially trapped her, Lucifer chuckled and walked behind her, he grabbed her wrists and pulled them behind her back.

"Next time, don't allow yourself to be caught hmm?" he cuffed her hands together and pushed her to Elric, "place her in the dungeon for treason, along with that," he looked to Rupert and Rome, "the only people allowed to prepare my meals from here on out will be Rome and Rupert, the kitchen staff may prepare meals for parties and events along with the staff members, but they cannot prepare food that will go on my plate."

Rome blinked at this addition to her job, her expression said "What the fuck" as she watched Paris get dragged out by Elric who just swung her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and went on his way to the dungeon.
