Lucevkin Dreams Bath Time
-Karen-Bart stopped me and made me sit on the bed. He and Conor took the dishes out while I was useless on the bed. They came back an hour later with a giant metal bucket. Before I could even ask, a towel was laid down, and the bucket was on top. Several servants added twenty pitchers of hot water to the bucket. A bath in this room? Another servant set a full pitcher on the table and several bottles down. This is unnecessary. I just need a rag and half a pitcher of cool water.Conor was handed three towels, and then the servants and Bart left the room. He turned back to me. "I'm not sure when you last had a bath, but I think you should have one. It might help you relax and unwind." He placed the towels on the table and walked over to me. "I'm going to leave you alone for a couple of hours so you can wash up, and then I'll return. I hope it makes you feel a bit better."He was almost to the door when I quickly stood up. "Prince Conor." He stopped and gave me a dirty look. "Thank you..
Lucevkin Dreams So Many Presents (Pt. 1)
-Karen-When I woke up, Conor was gone, but a small stack of presents was sitting in the chair waiting for me. There was also a note: 'Morning. Bart should arrive soon. I will be away for part of the day addressing this issue. Remember, flowers don't weep; they bloom beautifully in the sunlight.' I felt my cheeks tinge at the note. Does he think… I'm a flower? There was a knock on the door. Before I could get up to answer it, the door opened. Two male servants were bringing in a piece of furniture. Bart followed them in with a tray of food. "Morning Karen. Are you feeling alright?" He asked gently. "Conor said you shivered almost all night… Is there anything I can do for you?"I took the tray from him and saw pancakes with blackberry preserves. My mouth watered as I inhaled the wonderful aroma. "What is that thing?" I asked him, pointing at the new piece of furniture."It's called an armoire. It will store your dresses and gowns so they don't get wrinkled." He explained as I dug into
Lucevkin Dreams So Many Present (Pt. 2)
-Karen-I walked back to the bed as he mirrored me. We sat down on the bed together and started chuckling out of nowhere. "Tell me more about yourself," he said softly in my ear."Like what? You know more about me in this short time than most people know about me in general," I mumbled, twirling my hair around my finger. I want to keep it that way, if possible.I felt him lean close to me and brush a lock of hair behind my ear, which set me on edge. "Do you like to read?" he whispered in my ear. I nodded, wondering why he would ask. “I have a book I think you might enjoy.""What is it about?" I asked him curiously. "Most servants can't read. I usually read for them.""It's a book of short stories. Most are fairy tales- Half-fish people want to be full people. A princess trying to beat her pre-destined fate. Children who are abandoned in the woods try to find their way home. There are several stories within the book.""Sounds interesting," I replied, watching Bart rejoin us. I got up q
Lucevkin Dreams Truce
-Karen-"Look at you, giving orders…" he replied through an exhale. “I don't feel well." I dipped the rag and wrung out half the water, making sure to cool off his scalp, too. “That feels good. Thank you." I didn't reply, but I smirked at him. He caught my hand as I went to sponge his face off. "I like that dress on you… Is that new?"I snickered as I switched the rag to my free hand. "Yes… My kind Master gave it to me even though I think he's too generous." I dipped the rag as he let go of my hand. I unbuttoned his shirt enough to start cooling him down more. I placed the cloth on his chest and fanned it with my hand.He gasped at the temperature change. "That feels good."Bart returned with two bottles of water and a small sprig of mint. I set one bottle on the table as they watched me crush the mint as best I could. I opened the bottle, stuffed it in the mint, and shook it for about five minutes. After it was mixed enough, I helped Conor drink it. He made a face at the taste that m
Lucevkin Dreams Break In
-Karen-He pursed his lips while we glared at each other. "No. I got these things for you." Conor answered, shaking his head at me. "You should put that back on so you don't get sick-""I hope I do get sick! You likely don't have our medicine, so if I do get sick and die, you're down a servant, and I won't have to deal with you!" I hissed. I pulled the blanket back over me as I felt a cold chill tear through me. I curled up under the blanket and slammed a pillow over my head."Bart. Help!" Conor cried in desperation. A minute later, the blankets were pulled away entirely. I grabbed my leg, trying to pull it back. "Put the nightgown back on, and I'll give you the blankets back," Conor commanded with a smug smirk.Really? Is that all you have to stand on? Without breaking eye contact with him, I pulled the pillow out of the case, carefully laid it over my hip, and lay back down. You could hear a pin drop from down in the dungeon.Bart laughed hysterically at the clever move while Conor
Lucevkin Dreams Sympathy
-Karen-Hours later, the door slammed open, and I could hear Conor panicking. "Bart! Bart!!" he yelled out the door. I slowly emerged from my hiding spot, completely exhausted from being up all night. Conor looked over at me and rushed me. "Are you okay?" he asked.How do I answer that? "They came back," I whispered as he hugged me. "It was just two of them, but they were looking for me." Bart ran into the room right then, out of breath."What happened?" He asked, panting. He shut the door and set his medical bag on the bed.Conor pulled me over to the bed and hugged me as I cried. "They didn't hurt you, did they?" He asked softly, rubbing my back."No," I answered in a shaky voice. I made the bed hastily and hid the armoire. They thought you took me to your apartments… So, you could have your way with me." I felt my exhaustion start to tighten around me."Did you happen to catch any names?" Conor whispered, hugging me tighter. He looked concerned, but I was trying to push his thought
Lucevkin Dreams Technicality
-Karen-Morning came quickly while I struggled to wake up. Bart and Conor arrived for breakfast, and we ate bagels with cream cheese and fresh fruit. Conor seemed to be very happy today. After breakfast, he gave me a hairbrush set, and I didn't wait to brush my hair. He said it was a special surprise. And I do love it. It's so pretty! But I want this to be the last one. I'm starting to get the feeling I should just stop fighting him. I quickly brushed my violet tresses while he watched quietly from the chair on the right. Lizette would brush my hair when I had a lousy day… And she would sing so sweetly, too. "You know, I appreciate your presents, but they're completely unwarranted, as I've told you several times. I think you have done quite enough for me as it stands." I said as I braided my hair over my right shoulder.I heard him chuckle and sigh. "I would still completely disagree with you. I can't have a servant running around naked. Not when she is pretty sexy, and there are a bu
Lucevkin Dreams The Dress
-Karen-After a few more minutes, "You two are ridiculous! You both always squabble over this…" Bart exclaimed, rolling his eyes at us as we looked at him simultaneously. "And the fact that you both have the same surprised look on your faces just adds to my argument! This is like the twentieth argument you both have had over this. Karen, just take the damn presents. If Conor wants to spend his allowances on you, let him. There's no point in trying to persuade him otherwise… He is as stubborn as you are. I will also add that you have lost each argument, so just thank him for the presents already."I felt my cheeks tinge with rage as Conor arrogantly flaunted his win in my face. You arrogant jerk! I rolled my eyes and threw my hands in the air, signifying my surrender. "Fine! Fine… I give up!"I turned to start unwrapping the large pile of presents when Conor grabbed my right hand and spun me around to face him. "Eat with me. You can unwrap them after."Geez. Guess I don't have a choice
