CHAPTER FIFTEEN Naya was in the kitchen doing the dishes as it seemed like that was the only thing she had gotten better in. Jennet had not still stopped with her scoldings and Esme had become a constant bully. Naya tried to ignore the comments that Esme made about her, but it was hard not to let them get to her. She knew that Esme was just jealous of her and that she was trying to get a rise out of her. But it was difficult not to let it affect her, especially when Esme was constantly in her face. Naya was just about to give up on the dishes when she heard a commotion from the other room. She set down the dish she was scrubbing and walked out of the kitchen, curious to see what was going on. She got there to see that a guard was there. It was obvious he had a message. “How can I help you?” Jennet asked, stepping out like the kitchen head that she was. “Orders from Lord Rhys..” he began and everyone stilled as Naya and Keira exchanged glances with each other. “Lord R.. hys…” Jennet stammered as she cleared her throat composing herself. She had met the Lord only once and then, she did not dare look him in the eye. She hoped he brought a compliment for her cooking. Jennet badly wanted one of her daughters to gain the favor of any of the three most good-looking men in the whole of Shadowvale. Rhys, Vlad or Draven. “I wonder what it is,” Keira whispered to Naya. “Me too..” Naya gestured to her. She hoped it was not bad. She couldn’t push off that foreboding feeling that it had something to do with her. “Where is Naya?” He asked and everyone’s eyes settled on Naya, who had a shocked expression on her face. Naya’s heart started to race as everyone turned to look at her. She knew that something was about to happen, and she wasn’t sure if it was going to be good or bad. But what on earth would lord Rhys want with her, now she was even intrigued to meet him. “There she is..” Jennet pointed at Naya with a hard look on her face. “The Lord requests that Naya serve his meal from now on… ” he informed and everyone looked at Naya again, in surprise. Naya was shocked by the request. She pinched herself repeatedly to make sure that she was not dreaming. What did she just hear? “He also states that no other maid should be seen in the left-wing except for Naya..” the guard added before turning to leave. Everyone’s eyes remained on Naya after the guard was gone. They all looked like they’d been hypnotized. Jennet was the first to snap out of her trance as she stormed at Naya. “What do you have with the Lord?” She asked, her eyes blazing in anger and Naya winced in pain. Naya was taken aback by the sudden hostility from Jennet. She knew that Jennet hated her to the core, but she hadn’t expected such an outburst. She always looked for a way to scold her, how was this any of her fault again? “I don’t have anything with the Lord,” she gestured, with shaky hands. “I’m just doing my job. That’s all.” But Jennet wouldn’t have any of it as she hissed at Naya, grabbing her by the neck. “What the hell did this fool say?” She requested at the top of her Voice. ” That she had nothing to do with lord Rhys… Keira interrupted from the corner where she stood. “I know you’re up to something..” she growled. “And I’ll get to the bottom of it..” “If I happen to find out that you’re seducing him. You’ll lose your eyes along with your voice..” she scoffed walking out of the room in anger. After Jennet left, a maid spoke out. “I really think Naya is bedding the lords..” she voiced out her thoughts. Naya’s eyes widened in shock. She couldn’t believe that anyone would think such a thing about her. She was just trying to do her job, and she had never even considered seducing the lords. “That’s not true!” Keira protested speaking up for Naya, but the other maids just looked at her skeptically. “How can we be sure?” one of them asked. “You’re always disappearing for hours on end, and no one knows where you’re going. For all we know, you could be meeting up with the lords behind closed doors.” “And she’s always seen walking with Lord Vlad to god knows where..” The maid whose name was Tasha rolled her eyes. “She’s not having an affair with anyone!” Keira said, raising her voice in frustration. “She’s just trying to do her job, and I’m being honest about what I’m saying. Why are you all so suspicious of her? Tasha snorted. “Well, we can’t just take your word for it. You could be lying.” “Why should we believe her?” another maid asked. “We barely know anything about her. She’s just the new girl, and look it seems all the lords know her.. ” ” And you Keira, I’m sure you’re doing all this because you want to gain favor also. ” Tasha accused. “You’ve got to be kidding me..” Keira raised her hands in frustration. “Come on guys, what are you even saying?” Esme spoke up for the first time. “What would the lords possibly want with Naya? She’s timid, mute, and ugly. She’s probably just a meal to them..” Emma blurted out and Naya wanted to walk up to her and give her a sleep but she managed to keep her anger at bay. “Who would possibly want a girl like her? She’s just a meal..” She added. The fact that Naya would now be the one serving meals angered her. She wanted to be in Naya’s place instead. Naya was a newbie, she was mute and looked so small. What possibly was in her that even made lord Vlad walk with her? “That’s enough Esme. Stop pouring all your anger on the poor girl. Be nice for once. She’s been through a lot that she can’t even speak and you keep making things worse for her. Where’s your humanity?” Keira asked in anger. “I’m a vampire. And as you know we vampires have no humanity, so then what!!? ” Esme yelled at Keira. ” You’re just a regular vampire so know your place as a maid..” Keira snapped at her. ” You’re just jealous that the so-called mute girl who just arrived here just a few weeks ago has been able to accomplish what you’ve never been able to. ” Keira pointed out ” You should be ashamed of yourself because your so-called crush has never noticed your beauty but has noticed a mute girl.. ” ” What did you just say?* Esme gritted her teeth in anger. “You heard me right!” Keira scowled. “We’re all maids here. So no one is above the other. It’s better you know your place. Naya let’s leave here. It’s suffocating..”Keira stated grabbing Naya’s wrist as she dragged a grateful Naya out of the placeContent property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
