I felt like something was wrong when I looked up I found every pair of eyes staring at me with shock, surprise and awe.

"Jennifer are you okay?"

"Of course I am lady Lauretta"

"You know its a surprise seeing you eat raw meats in such manner is quite a show"

"Well it looked really edible"

"Am sure it is due to the fact that she has lived with us for years now, surely she has adapted to our system if not by having an inner beast, but surely our ways, lifestyle and all would surely get injected in her" added lord Allen

"That's a good thing Alexia" Dmitri rubbed my back slowly "Would you love some more"

"Ahh no thanks. Have had quite a fill for now"

"Sure no proble.."

Natasha's suddenly started coughing cut him off, she started clutching on her throat "Alexia.. Pour me some water. Refill my cup"

Like what, her seat was distanced from mine and a maid was closer to her. Not me, I am having a meal "Madame pour some water for princess Natasha"

"No I want you to get the water for me!" She screamed coughing loudly. Darius quickly took the jug to pour her some water but she stopped him "I want her to do it and not you. If she can't show her future goddess some respect then when? Alexia stand and refill my cup" She smiled picking her empty cup in the air to see. Now it was clear to everyone that she had no cough but needed my submission.

Every one kept their calm, and watched the scene between I and Natasha unfold. Even her relative watched closely with their perky ears.

"Why don't you do that yourself?" Gasp from some people was heard across the table.

She scoffed and blinked rapidly "You said what? Alex.."

"Alexia" Darius called my name sternly cutting her off "You should show your respect, do as your goddess has ordered. Stand now and refill her cup"

"But your Highness" I protested

"Don't. This is so unlike you, how do you want our guest to think we teach our slaves. You know that's what you are right? You are just enjoying the grace to live in the palace no commoner could dare enter and also you are a great fighter and have a post here. That's why we let you on, Natasha would be your goddess soon you should show your defiance. Stand and serve her now!" He roared angrily, causing everyone to flinch.

Except me.. I was battling with a raging turmoil of my own

I stood up and bowed to him, rounding the table till I got to Natasha. As I picked the water jug I kept staring hard at her which she did in return. Without looking at the cup I kept filling and filling till it started spilling on the table mat. Lady Margaret that came behind me tapping on my back to stop. I did it and she took her place on the table to quickly dab on the over spilled water.

"No Margaret. It is Alexia mess give her the rag to clean it off her self. You may go"

Lady Margaret shakily left the table, shoving the towel into my hand as she left. I stared down and the towel and then at her.
