Chapter 39 Madison, warm my bed
Mona’s POV
The pain I was feeling was excruciating. There were still sores all over my body because of the whipping I got from the cruel Master Karl.
The sores were all open, and I was yet to apply any medicine on it. I know very well that Madison would really want to get me medicine, but I also know that she won’t be allowed to leave without working at the fields.
Groaning in pains, I sat on the bare ground in the room. The pains were becoming too much for me to bear, but I never regretted what I did for Madison. I’m just happy she’s not the one going through the pains I’m going through now.
Just then, I heard a knock on my door. My heart skipped a beat. No one must find out that I went to the valleys with the other slaves. I really picked up my blanket, and covered myself up with it.
“Come in” I managed to sound as if I was alright. The door creaked open, and Lady Delia walked in with a soothing smile. I heaved a sigh of relief the moment I saw her. She’s the only one who could keep it a secret when she finds out that I went out to the valleys with the new slaves. I don’t know about Axel, I’m still worried that he might tell on me since he is the master’s favorite guard. Is he going to risk his loyalty to the master just for me?
“Good day my Lady” I struggled up, but she helped me sit as though she knew I was hurt. Does she know that I got hurt?
“You don’t have to bother standing since you don’t have the strength to. Don’t worry, I came here with some herbs that will treat your wounds, and I also came with a contraceptive herb to prevent you from conceiving” She smiled, and sat beside me. I stared at her with furrowed eyebrows.
I was so shocked that I couldn’t find my voice to speak to her. How did she find out that I went to the valleys? Or should I ask how she found out that I’m not feeling fine?
“Uhm… My lady, I’m sorry to ask but how did you find out that I’m not feeling fine?” I spoke calmly, and she patted my shoulder.
“I’m very proud of you Mona. You have shown a true example of what a good friend means, and I’m really proud that despite the fact that you grew up in such a hatred filled place, you still have love and compassion in you” She smiled, and I forced a smile at her.
“I’m really sorry my lady. I’m sorry that I went against their rules and regulations of the Castle. I just couldn’t help it, because I knew that my friend would be in trouble. Furthermore, I didn’t even consider the fact that I might lose my life with the decision that I made” I bowed my head in guilt.
“Madison told me about this, and she was the one who pleaded with me to get you the contraceptive herbs. She also wanted me to treat your wounds. You two are the definition of a true friend, she looks out for you just the same way you do for her” Lady Delia replied.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“Thank you so much my lady. Thank you so much for understanding how we feel and why we did what we did. I don’t know what we would have done without you” I hugged her.
When we disengaged the hug, she handed the glass containing the herbs to me.
“Go ahead and drink this. It’s very important that you don’t conceive, I don’t need to tell you the reason why you shouldn’t get pregnant. You’re really know the rules of the Castle” Lady Delia said, and I nodded my head in agreement.
I took the glass from her, and gulped down the content without wasting any time. I’ve already gotten used to it, so to me, it’s no longer bitter. What could be more bitter than my life anyway?
“Here are some ointment. I need to apply it on your sores” Lady Delia replied, and I nodded my head.
Madison’s POV
I turned my gaze immediately to the place I heard the voice. Even Mateo was shocker as well.
It was Axel, the master’s favorite guard. A sigh of relief escaped my lips the moment I saw him. He’s a savior to me.
“What are you doing here Axel? This isn’t your duty post. I don’t expect you to interfere” Mateo gritted his teeth.
“I don’t also expect you to talk when I’m not done giving the Master’s order” Axel glared at him, and he lowered his gaze immediately.
“Let me hear the master’s message” Mateo eyed me, and I exhaled deeply.
“The master ordered that the slaves should be allowed to go back to their rooms immediately. It’s almost dark, they should go back, and continue tomorrow” Axel snapped, and Mateo raised his gaze still looking very disappointed. A smile of victory escaped my lips, and I rushed off immediately. My body was still messy, and I needed to wash it off as soon as possible.
I rushed into my crib, and straight to the bathroom. Who knows what would have happened to me if Axel didn’t intervene? Then I thought of Mona. After washing up, I’m definitely going to see her in her room.
I took my bath quickly, and changed into a comfortable, but bogus dress. I was still trying to put things together when someone walked into my room.
“Rodolfo?” I widened my eyes in shock.
“The Master needs your presence. He wants you to warm his bed” Rodolfo snapped, and goosebumps ran down my spine.
Warm his bed? Does he want to have s*x with me again? Should I even call that s*x because it’s actually torture?
I followed Rodolfo unwillingly, and we got into the master’s chambers. It was dark as usual, and Rodolfo left.
“Strip Madison! It’s going to be a pleasurable one” The Master’s mean voice was heard.
“Pleasurable?” My jaw went numb….
