The Rejected Daughter Chapter Fifteen: A Fresh Start
~Noc~ The woman I had found on the road was interesting. She had traits that emanated those of a noble. Yet she didn’t look like a noble on the outside. I gave her a room in my manor until she could find work and a place to stay. One of my maids I had assigned to her for her time at my manor came to see in a panicked manner. She had helped Rose bathe and found scars on her back. From the way she described them the beating must have started at a young age. She informed me that they were deep and the scars were of different ages. I found myself thinking about her. She was very beautiful and very kind. It would be my assumption that she was running from something, or worse someone. I’d say she is rather lucky that I found her. The slave trade has reared it’s ugly head towards the North. They have taken an interest in my people. There had been a few kidnappings here or there. They never made it very far with my people though. My guards always saved them. It seems that the nobility of t
The Rejected Daughter Chapter Sixteen: A Vacation
~Thorn~ I arrived in the north two days after I left my estate. The trip to the north was rather uneventful. I was quite surprised since the path to the north is usually riddled with monsters and thieves. The first place I stopped was Duke Noc’s estate to announce my arrival. As is custom among the nobility in the kingdom. I would be staying at his estate while I conducted my business here. My men who accompanied me would be staying in one of the motels in town. They could stay at the Duke’s manor but they always opted for the inn in town. I always warned them all to be on their best behavior while they were there. Agatha the shop owner is a feisty old woman. She’d hit you with a broom if you got out of line. Royalty, noble, or commoner didn’t matter to her. I’d have to stop by to see her later and check on my men. Ensure they are behaving themselves. Once I departed with my men I headed to the Duke’s manor. The stable hand took Incari from me and took her to the barn. I was greeted
The Rejected Daughter Chapter Seventeen: Preparation
~Nyx (Rose~ I woke up early to head to work today. Agatha had several customers coming to the inn later today. I beat her to the inn and had already started on the needed rooms for the soldiers who would be coming in this afternoon. Agatha had a whole list of things that needed to be done. I couldn’t help but worry since she told me that they were from the south. What if they were my father’s men who were sent here to look for me. Agatha had no idea who I actually was. She had no idea that I was nobility and I honestly wanted to keep it that way. I didn’t want to put her in any kind of danger. Her knowing that information could be dangerous for her. It was hard enough on me that I had to implement Yareha in my escape plan. I hoped she was faring well and that no one had suspected her of helping me. Since it was well known in the manor that she took care of me. As soon as Agatha came through the door of the inn I looked up from the log book. “Good morning Aggy!” I said with a wide sm
The Rejected Daughter Chapter Eighteen: A Dark Truth
~The Sparrow Manor~ “M’lord the information guild has arrived.” The head butler informed me as he entered my study. I looked up from the paperwork I was doing. I have not been sleeping well since Nyx disappeared. The butler had tried to get me to sleep but I refused. He told me that I had aged quite a bit since she went missing and that me getting rest was imperative. It was no secret how I treated her in my household. “Very well send them in.” I replied in a tired voice. The butler nodded and showed them into the room. A petite woman entered the room. She held a menacing aura about her. This aura was a warning for me to be careful with my wording. The information guild was well aware of the way Nyx was treated. And they could leak it and cause a considerable amount of damage to the family. “I’m Miss Jarvise, at your service.” The petite lady introduced herself by bowing her head to show respect. “Yes, yes please come sit and have tea with me.” I responded by waving her over to
The Rejected Daughter Chapter Nineteen: Shaman
~Nyx (Rose)~ The rest of the day was pretty eventful. We have several check-ins all come at the same time. I spent the majority of that morning assigning rooms. It was late into the afternoon before the business died down. I took a deep breath and fell back into a chair in the front lounge. Agatha brought me a cup of tea over. She was amazing when it came to making tea. Her tea skills were above all else. I smiled gratefully at her and took it in my hands. After taking some sips of the warm drink I set it down near me. It was flavored with ginger and jasmine. I could feel my body starting to relax as I finished it. Agatha came back into the room shortly after I had finished the drink and took a seat next to me. Today took a lot out of her today. She wouldn’t admit it but at her age she was making it harder to run this establishment. I was a blessing in disguise not that she’d admit that. She was a stubborn old lady that I still adored. “It’s been a long day, love. Why don’t you go
The Rejected Daughter Chapter Twenty: Look Who it is
~Thorn~ Shortly after getting to my room there was a knock at the door. I called out for them to come in. Soon the door opened to reveal a young maid. She looked nervous as she stepped forward with a tray in hand. “Good evening, M’lord. Here is your dinner, if you need anything else don’t hesitate to call me.” She said as she sat the tray down for me. I nodded curtly before she curtsied and scurried from the room. I sat at the small desk and began to eat my food. It was quite good and filled me up quickly. I decided to bathe before heading to bed. Since I had been on the road for a couple of days. I entered the bathroom and filled the deep bath with water. There were various oils that I poured in the rushing water. Soon the smell of jasmine filled the air in the room. I took it in as I stripped down to my bare body. Turning off the water, I slipped into the water. Relaxing weightlessly against the wall of the tub for a while. After relaxing for awhile I washed my hair and body befo
The Rejected Daughter Chapter Twenty-one: Shock and Revealing
. ~Nyx (Rose) I had finished the tasks that Agatha had sent me to do while she served the soldiers their beer. When soldiers came upon our doorstep we were always swamped with various tasks until they left. I walked down the stairs to the lobby where she was serving beer. When I entered I saw her talking to a man but his back was to me so I paid him no mind. “Hey Aggy, where do you want me to clean next?” I questioned her. Agatha responded but I didn’t hear what she said. The man that she had been talking to had turned to face me. Surprise and shock filled my face as we locked eyes with each other. That shock was quickly replaced with fear. What was he even doing here? Has he come to take me back to that wretched place? My mind ran amuck with overwhelming thoughts. I started to back away slowly, I couldn’t be here. I turned and ran out of the room. Trying to calm my screaming mind. What should I do. I had nowhere else to go. The north was the only place the Marquess couldn’t reach
The Rejected Daughter Chapter Twenty-two: Unangered Truth
~Thorn~ I was shocked to learn that Lady Nyx was here in the North under the assumed name of Rose. I thought I would look for her here and come up short. The most surprising thing is that the Marquess had lied about her condition. He had her fake her frail state which made me enraged. Why would he do that and why would she willingly go along with it. Now that I think of it her family really didn’t seem loving toward her. They were cold and didn’t show any affection to her at the dinner. Nyx had agreed to come with me to Noc’s maner in a carriage. We sat in an awkward silence that seemed to make her fidget. I cleared my throat before speaking. “Have you met Duke Noc?” I asked even though I was sure she had. Noc cares and gets to know his people. She looked up from her hands to meet my eyes. “Y-yes, we met on my way here. He ensured my safe passage to the north.” She stuttered, rubbing her sweaty hands together. Why was she so uncomfortable around me? “Oh.” Was all I could say bec
