Abe had left one of his guardians to take Whitley's place until the new guardian arrived. Alberta, Roza and I decided to go ahead and send for all three of the other guardians. That would give us two extra set of hands and eyes, just in case they were needed.
While exploring the house, the day that we arrived, I found a room with a massage table inside. The room had huge French doors, that opened out onto a balcony on the third floor. And today was the day that Roza and I were going to make use of that room.
Today, I had a surprise in store for the love of my life, a surprise that would include just the two of us. I really hoped that my Roza would like my surprise.
I had taken hours, while Roza still slept, and set up lots of battery powered candles of varying sizes and colors all over the room. I put the massage table right in front of the balcony doors and propped them open. I had brought in a small table for us to eat lunch on. Then I cooked some black bread, as well as my other favorites of mama's cooking.
I had overheard my Roza and Vika talking about not being able to wait to get back to mama and her home cooking. So, I thought that I would give the love of my life a small preview of what was to come when we got home to mama.
As lyubov' moya continued to sleep I prepared our food for lunch and dinner. For lunch I fixed Gloubtsy, Olivier salad, Pelmeni, black bread and Pirog. For dinner I made Beef Stroganoff, Kissel, Knish, Mimosa salad and more black bread. I also asked Yuri to go into town to see if he could find some Beluga or Sevruga caviar. (my love)
Once everything was ready, I went to wake my still sleeping love.
We had been living on Abe's estate in Turkey for six weeks now. And my Roza, all of her friends and I had amassed two stacks of legal pads, each over a foot high filled with things that we all thought needed addressing.
And although every weekend we spent traveling. The rest of the time we made a lot of head way with what aunt Tati had sent for us to go through.
We found out that there were still laws on the books saying that a single man could not even touch the fingertips of a single woman. There was another saying that if and unmarried man touched the hair of a single woman, that he was to be castrated. And they just got more ridiculous as well as more and more absurd as we went through them.
If they enforced that law about a man touching a woman's hair. I would have been put into prison the very first moment that I came face to face with my soul mate. Because I was pretty much obsessed with her hair, it was just that yeblya beautiful, softy, silky and long that I couldn't help but touch it every chance that I got. (fucking)
We had a stack of yellow legal pads and a stack of white legal pads. One with laws that needed to be repealed, like the ones that I just mentioned. The others were filled with laws that limited the lives of dhampir, and some... well most of them, were just nauseatingly disgusting.
There was one that said that the guardians were to be housed in barn like structures on the very back of the property, like the human slaves were. And they were not to be allowed inside the homes of royal moroi. As they... we are not only untrustworthy, but unworthy to be in that close of a vicinity of a moroi in general, unless we were guarding them. But especially to a royal moroi.
There was an actual law that said that dhampir were to be used solely as blood whores, breeding stock and guardians. And also that the guardians were not to receive payment as it was their duty to protect the royals.
And those just got worse and worse as we went along too. The more we read the more and more disgusted that we all felt. At the end of the day's most of us needed to take hot showers to wash away the filth. Even the royal moroi amongst us.
