All Chapters of At your service, my lady: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

It's been five days since the offer. I still have two, but my mind still can't come to a conclusion.If I accept, the story will be modified in greater ways than I can imagine.If I don't, then I could still follow the argument of the plot, but that could lead to an irreversible end if I'm not careful.The randomness of my own story, or the questionable path pavemented before my arrival to this world."Which is the correct answer?"With that question floating in my mind, I headed to the stables. I had to take care of Twilight as my new recurrent responsibility.**"My, the black panther is here for another day of work, huh""... Please don't call me that""Haha. You should be happy that your name is now roaming through the Fotiadis house, not everyone can become famous in the land of a duke""Still... That nickname's quite embarrassing"When I arrived, the first person to greet me was the caretaker of drakes. His clothes were covered in mud and blood, distinctive colors of someone who

As we walked through the streets of the capital, I couldn´t help but notice the glares that people were throwing at us; I also heard some of them saying things like: "I can´t believe a couple like that exists" or "Who would be so daring as to date the daughter of a duke?"I can stand several hours working under a scorching sun without sweating a break, but hearing people´s voices of jealously and mocking is another level of annoyingness."Don´t mind them, they are just curious"Reading my mind again, the beauty hugging my arm comforted my anxious thoughts."I know, I just wish they could be a little more discrete. It is quite irritating when they talk nonsense"I didn´t know what kind of face I was making while saying that, but I can get an idea from the fleeting people around us."Maybe, but they aren´t totally wrong. I am the well-known daughter of the duke Herion, and this is the first time I go on a date in public. They have enough reasons to be like that, to some extent"Releasin

The cart was moving, but Nicholas´s mind stayed behind in that restaurant.Dominique Foe Yatra.In all his years of life, he was the first man besides his family and instructor to ever lay a hand on him. At first, he thought of him as any other plebeian acting accordingly to his status, but then his expectations were crushed by his grip and defying eyes.Bravery? Stupidity? An impulse to look good before Verónica?Whatever it was, it served well to gain a place in Nichola´s head."Heh..."...The soldiers accompanying Nicholas inside the cart were out of words. Not even once they have seen a pleasant reaction from the mechanical prince. At least not until today, when a subtle grin was resting upon his lips.Not knowing how to feel about this image, they choose to stay quiet to prevent any incidents with their comments and reactions.That would be safer."I wonder if we´ll meet again..."Tomb.The cart stopped."My lord, the road seems to be blocked" Reported the driver."What is block

That attack almost got me. Luckily for me, the darkness and the full moon gave me enough power to rip apart the tide of Nicholas; who was now lying on the ground with the mark of my fist still fresh on his perfect face.The others either fainted or held themselves with the little forces remaining in their bodies.And me? I was dealing with the author of all this ruckus.Saving her flute inside my shadows, I held her arms and legs with my magic. Since she had closed her eyes I had to force her to open them with my bare hands.Once we exchanged glances, she plead for a quick death. Placing me in her shoes, I´d say that is the common reaction, however, I wasn´t going to kill her, not yet at least.She gave me quite the stare, probably deep in thought about how to escape or fool me.Since I was getting impatient, I decided to break the silence. Applying a little bit of force into my grip, the new pressure on her neck returned her mind to reality."Hrgh!""Who are you? Why did you do thi

Our way back to the mansion was silent, the only problem was Jasmine and her chest pressing against my back. I told her many times to make some room, but she refused, saying that Twilight was too fast and she was scared of falling. Normally, I would have taken those words for lies, but Twilight is indeed faster than most drakes, so she could have said the truth at that moment.Anyway, that awkwardness doesn´t compare to what I´m feeling now that Véronica is staring at me while Jasmine is clinging to my arm."... Let´s go inside first... I´ll explain everything there...""... Yes... You better..."Internally praying for my safety, we all entered the mansion as Twilight returned to the stables by herself.On our way to the living, I felt the gazes of many of the guards and servants walking around the mansion. Some of them let a little laugh escape while others gave me their condolences with a grin on their faces."What a way to say goodbye to the Fotiadis" Said one of the guards with hi
