Chapter 307
Maria was unfortunate because Bale had not told her where her bedroom was.
So she had to ask around.
It was already humiliating enough now having to ask her own maids.
After a number of times trying to ask and dismissing it.
She finally found out.
She didn’t want to go but Bale’s threat had been so open and she was terrified.
She knew that he was going to execute it and he had refused to tell her who Red was to him.
She sighed as she stood at the door of the bedroom.
It was not as grand as the first one was, thank the Goddess.
But still she knew that it was not like a regular servant’s quarters.
She sighed in and almost knocked at the door when she stopped herself.
She was being forced to apologize, not being forced to behave well.
She shook her hair over her shoulders and pushed the door open rudely.
Red jumped up and Maria stepped in.
Red who seemed to be dressing quickly pulled a robe around herself.
Maria thought she had noticed a weird bump but it was gone so fast that she was not so sure again.
Red wrapped the robe around herself.
“My lady.” Red curtsied.
Maria who was still staring at what she was not sure she had seen, completely was unaware of the greeting.
“Lady Maria?” Red rose a brow.
“What?” Maria snapped at her.
“You barged in and you are just standing there looking at me. Is everything alright? Do you need me to offer you anything?” Red asked.
“Oh I am not sure. I thought I saw something.” Maria said still eying her.
She sighed and shook her head. “Forget about it.”
And then Maria eyed Red and got back to business.
“I came to see you.” Maria said. She folded her arms and looked her up and down. “I came to apologize for my behavior.”
Red looked at her suspiciously.
“You came to apologize for your behavior?” Red asked.
The guts of the woman to even speak to her like that.
“Yes!” Maria snapped at her.
Red looked her up and down and said. “I forgive you.”
Maria was relived she wanted to get out of this room.
She made a quick survey of the room. Taking in the little furnitures inside.
A nice and comfortable bed that was more than enough for a mere servant.
There was a lovely dresser and chair attached with a mirror hanging on the wall.
There were art works on the wall
A nice soft rug on the floor.
A beautiful and simple cupboard and she finally spotted a small but lovely balcony.
She walked up to it and saw that the view was breathtaking.
Even she who lived in the pack as Luna had no idea that such a room existed.
She was green with envy and she wanted it for herself too.
And then she returned back to the room.
She looked around and clicked her tongue.
“Who are you?” Maria asked.
“I beg your pardon?” Red asked.
“I said who are you?” Maria demanded irritated. “You are not a servant. There is no way my husband will give you all this if you are who you both claim to be.”
“He is only kind to me.”
“Enough of the lies!” Maria snapped. “Enough of the fucking lies. What? You are his mistress now? You are fucking him now?”
Red’s face fell and Maria hated the fact that she did not look ugly.
Rather she even looked more beautiful.
“Your husband is a good man. I will never dream of taking someone else’s lover. He is kind and he is only helping me because I need a place to stay. I was saved by him. You should be proud of him.” Red said with a willful smile.
Maria was irritated and annoyed. “Don’t lie to me. Tell me the entire truth.”
“I swear to you that there is nothing going on between me and you-
And then Red stopped talking.
Maria frowned.
Red gently touched her throat and swallowed.
“Excuse me.” Red said.
Maria eyed her closely.
And then Red cleared her throat. “I am fine now.”
“Are you sure?” Maria asked closely.
“Yes I am-
And Red proceeded to make sounds like she was about to throw up.
She quickly covered her mouth and Maria was quick to look a way in disgust.
“Eewwwww. Do not throw up in front of me!”
Maria hissed at her. “Go somewhere. Shoo!”
And then Red hurriedly rushed to her bath chamber.
Maria followed her and found out that she did in fact have a bath chamber of her own!
Could you imagine that!
She saw Red throwing up in her chamber pot and quickly turned her face away in disgust.
She stood at the door of the chamber room and held her nose to keep the fowl stench away.
After about five minutes while she was still at it, Maria had enough and went to the bedroom itself.
She sat on a chair.
And then Red came back.
She still looked as beautiful as ever and it hurt Maria so bad.
“I apologize for that.” Red said.
“What is wrong with you?” Maria eyed suspiciously.
“Nothing I have just been feeling unwell. It is the journey I suspect and change of weather. It is quite different from where I come from.” Red replied with a smile.
“Where are you from?” Maria asked.
“Oh from the sand valley.”
“The sand valley?” Maria asked in disbelief. “That is far far away from us here. What took my husband there?”
“No I mean I was kidnapped from the sand valley. It was my home and then brough here. That was when your husband found me and saved me from my carports. Everything is so different here” Red looked around.
The stench of the puke overwhelmed Maria and took away any sense of reasoning.
“I don’t care. Stay away from my husband. You do not want to mess with me.” Maria said and with that she stormed off
