Devotion Emotion ( x Reader story) (Extreme romance, reverse harem)

15

We travel back to the mansion in silence.

I dare not ask about anything.

But...Simon....Is their father??

..And he killed his wife..??

Why..?

Why..??

Why..??

And what about the ring?  Where is that? 

I have to know. 

But I can't just ask them...No.

I might have to do a bit of searching....

...By playing as the maid.

*****

Nat has laid out the table all ready for dinner.

"What's for dinner?" I ask Nat.

"Just my special award winning stew!" He winks at me.

"Oh..! It smells so delicious!" I gush, as the mouth watering smell of beef and potatoes filled the air.

"If you like, I can feed  it to you..?" Nat teases with a smirk on his face.

"Whatever, Nat." I reply with a smile on my face.

Nat grabs a clean spoon from the cutlery drawer, and takes a spoonful of the flavorsome stew from the stew pot.

Then he actually attempts to feed it to me.

I can't believe this.

"Wait, shouldn't I be doing the cooking??" I say, pausing the spoon heading towards my mouth with my fingertip.

"I just felt like it today. Now say 'ahh' (Y/n)!"

I blush and accept the spoon. 

"Well..? How is it??" Nat asks.

"Oh my god Nat! This is so appetizing!" I scream in delight.

"Please hurry up and serve it before I die of 'deprivation of stew'!" I laugh.

"As long as you help me serve it, sweetie." He gives a wink.

"Who are you calling sweetie??" I laugh again.

"Oh (Y/n). You're so cute when you laugh you know." Nat gushes.

"Thanks!" I blush.

"I'm so sorry about what happened earlier with....Him."

Oh God. Does he mean Simon?

"No, no, it's fine really!" I say.

"You were awfully brave you know. Well done."

Would this be a good time to ask about the ring?

"Hey Nat.. Where is the actual ring?"

"Stored away safely. Where no one can reach it except for the eldest son." He explains, pointing to himself.

"What is the ring all about, anyway?" I ask.

"Well. it has a rather grim history behind it. You see-"

"Hey guys! How's the cooking?" Gareth bursts in through the kitchen, interrupting our conversation. 

'Damn. I was just about to get the information... ' I feel like everything was a lost cause.

"Yeah it's going great. it should be ready to be served out now." Nat says, looking at me like he is hinting something.

Oh, whoops. I need to serve the stew..

"I'll serve it right away, chef !" I wink at Nat.
