Demon Bordello

The Truth Comes Out

"Good morning m'lady." A young girl entered the room her arms laden with clothing for the day.

Lorelai sat up, woken from the dream and staring at the quiet girl with clothes piled in her arms. She immediately went about getting them from her. She forgot for a moment where she was.

Luckily, before she spoke, she looked around and simply said thank you. She laid the clothes on the bed and looked through them. She was confused as to where they had come from.

Lethia stood up, the blanket falling away to reveal the dress from the night before. "Good morning. "

"P....Lord Darius has provided clothing for you for the day."

"Can I have a few minutes to change... I can do it myself, thank you. " Lorelai said as the girl bowed and walked out. She looked through the clothes, trying to find something to wear that would be as comfortable as Roman's T-shirt... She didn't find anything close so she settled for looking put together. She chose a long black dress short sleeves with a slit up to her knee. She brushed out her hair which had grown considerably over the voyage, and fretted over the length.

Lethia stared at the girl who blushed and quickly set about preparing things for the day.

After she was done fixing the clothes she curtsied and hurried out of the room closing the door behind her.

Lethia looked over the complication of corsets and lace laid out before her on the bed. Next to which was a simple dress which needed no such things as the other one did. The dress was a pale green with swirls of white. The sleeves were open on the shoulder and upper arms but covered the forearm.

Lorelai knocked on the adjoining door.

"Come in." Lethia was seated in front of a mirror, her hair piled onto of her head as she wrapped a ribbon around the base of her highest ponytail.

"Hey, I know this sounds like a ploy, but will you help me with my hair... Its way too long... And it's hard to handle... It's brushed but just laying there." Lethia nodded and once her ribbon work was done she moved and offered her seat to Lorelai.

Lorelai smiled sitting in the offered seat. She enjoyed the time she spent with her sister. Grabbing her brush, Lethia set about twisting and pinning the older girls hair. "Did you have fun last night?"

"I felt like a princess... And not just of the hotel... A true princess. The way I was being stared at and respected was something I'd never experienced outside of... Well you know. "

"Was it just me or did it seem like everyone tried to stay out of the path of the boys?"

"They must be really powerful around here. "

"I suppose but something about this whole thing feels off...."

"Like they aren't telling us something? I feel it too.

"This morning the hand maiden almost called him something other then Lord......" Lethia pinned the ringlets as she spoke.

"What did it start with? "

"A P?"

"Prince maybe? I've had this dream for a few nights about Roman calling me a princess and I'm in this castle... That I can swear I've never been to, but it seems familiar... And he's sitting on a throne... But he's a demon... Do you think that maybe... Maybe they are both royalty and they aren't telling us? Like because we are going to be concubines in a harem?" Lorelai said as she watched her hair come together.

"My hair looks pretty. "

Lethia laughed, " I never thought you one for Fairy tales."

"I'm an expert on fairy tales. I used to tell them to the younger girls in the home, " she said as she knew that her dreams were just that and her imagination did tend to get the best of her, that's why her stories were always so good.
