Umurrah kept silent for a few more seconds, she couldn't believe it. She thought it was going to be her the one to tell him first. But no, it was him.... The tables turned, and she couldn't be happier. She hugged Kroarl and to the surprise of everyone in the place, she kissed him on the lips, softly.... Everyone looked stunned for a few seconds, and when they looked around, they all rejoiced. Even the Innkeeper and Bartender had free drinks for everyone on the house, and several bards, both foreigners and locals started to sing love songs and celebration tunes....
She then had the same idea, why not making a small local town-ball? Everyone was going to be invited, and obviously security had to be a priority, but there was only one problem. Alténis. She had to tell him but feared he would say anything, because of how his father and himself were too close, always, even when hunting, where hunter elves usually go alone.
But then it hit her, he couldn't say anything, he was an adult now, and it's been too long since he passed away, she was prepared long ago to move on, it's not his decision, but hers. He can't say a thing even if it bothered him, but she was still going to tell him, and obviously have him meet Kroarl at the Ball. It was official. After hours of dancing, singing and drinking, they were pretty much tired, both of them.... But apparently Umurrah had another thing on her mind. They went outside the pub on the Inn and went to the Capital house, everyone were following, cheering for the lovers.
She then had the servants clean up everything to keep them busy on purpose, even though everything was always clean, and she maintained her favorite servant out of all this, and double busy. After that, Umurrah sneaked into her room with Kroarl and started undressing for him, he never thought of it happening, but it was really happening, they were not drunk, but passionately insane for each other, Umurrah undressed him too. When his shirt was off, she was surprised to see several scars throughout his body, on his chest, abs and even back, when she asked he only said it was part of the job when some things went wrong, and how we always tried to sometimes outsmart costumers, and getting attacked, they both laughed, but it didn't kill the mood.
They kissed fiercely and as Umurrah was caressing his body, he was grabbing her by her hips, and slowly walking across the room, to the bed. After a few more moments, they were fully naked, and they both contemplated their racial differences.... And felt more love. He pushed her into bed, and was startled, and blushed, it was her fantasy to be treated that way.... And he then got on top of her, he started kissing every inch of her big body, breathing over it, panting as Umurrah pulled of his hairs, she was enjoying it dearly, he bit her lips, he whispered things on her ears... It was a great experience for both, but then Umurrah decided it was time, and embraced him, putting her legs around him, begging for her to be loved. He nodded and......................................................................................
Know what? This is WAY too inappropriate for me to tell, wild stuff happened ok? Moving on.
The next morning, Umurrah woke up to an angry servant, who stayed with a broken expression as she saw her Mistress with someone else, naked in the same bed.... Umurrah tried to explain to her favorite servant what happened, but it was too late, she saw enough, and had enough.
She just told, with a broken voice:
-"I though you lov...." She began to cry. Umurrah approached and tried to lie a hand on her when she snapped. "GET AWAY FROM ME YOU WHORE." She yelled, waking up Kroarl.
-"You are in no position to talk to me like that." Umurrah replied.
-"Exactly.... I am leaving. Farewell, Umurrah." She left the room covered in tears, Umurrah, also broken, regained composure and acted as everything was ok, and just told Kroarl.
-"Long story." She smiled.... A fake smile.
She then proceeded to do her daily morning chores, and as she dismissed Kroarl out of the house, with shame, she still had the idea....
-"I'll arrange the Ball for this same week, I want to meet you again and have another wonderful night.... Darling." She blushed, she was way too happy, it was one of the best nights of her life.
-"I'll know when the townsfolk talk about it, don't worry, I will be there." Kroarl replied, with a bright smile.
They then parted ways, one for the Inn, and another for the market.... She bought her goods, and when she decided to go back and cook, Alténis was just arriving....
-"Son?" She said, concerned for once. She saw the look of tiredness on his face, and the small but noticeable shade of sadness coming out from his eyes. "Is everything alright? You were out all night." She sounded worried, but let's just be honest, she totally forgot about her son last night....
-"I saw Lydianne leave a while ago... I tried talking to her but she forced herself out of my sight." He said this firmly, knowing that it would cripple his mother's interest in knowing what she had done with her favorite servant. "What happened?"
-"She wanted a raise......... And... She resigned when I denied it." She lied, she never lied to her son. Yet it actually worked, she went inside, followed by Alténis and cooked in silence as Alténis went to bed, no kisses in the cheek and forehead, no good morning, no nothing.
It was a silent morning that day. The servants cleaned in silence while some others rumored on what had happened, and what might had not, others were talking about the strange man in the house, and others packed their stuff in fear of getting fired too....
