Your Wish Is My Command

Chapter 16

Hazel sat outside the Chambers, close to the garden, while she sipped her tea calmly, as she watched the kids practice.

“Do you have a man you love, Mary?” she asked Mary gently, who stood close to her with a jar of tea in her hand.

Mary was taken aback by Hazel’s question, she never thought, she would have a conversation with Hazel concerning a man, or, love.

“My Lady.” Mary replied softly, her voice trembling, she wanted to be clear on Hazel’s question.

Hazel turned to take a look at her, Mary was shy, and was scared to share her relationship status with Hazel, because she was an ordinary maiden, a server and nothing else, it would definitely be a great privilege to have such conversations with lady Hazel.

Hazel chuckled softly, as she saw the expression on Mary’s face. “oh! Mary! You need not be shy, I am a woman just like you.

“My Lady, it is very disrespectful to have such conversations with you, I am only but a maid, my Lady.” Mary quickly said, as she bent her head down in respect.

“And who’s instruction was that?” Hazel asked.

“Lord Luther might not appreciate me having such conversations with his wife, my Lady.” Mary replied.

Hazel glanced at her for a while before she spoke, “I see you are glowing like a sun, tell me, who is this lucky man?” Hazel asked, ignoring Mary’s words.

“It’s no one special, my Lady.” Mary answered, avoiding Hazel’s gaze, as she filled the cup with tea.

Hazel smiled gently, as she stood up from her seat, she walked closely to Mary as she faced her.

“Talk to me Mary, do not be afraid to speak.” Hazel calmly said.

“His name is Elliott, my Lady.” She said shyly.

Hazel laughed so hard as she placed her hands on Mary’s shoulders, that was the first time Mary had seen her laugh.

“Oh! Mary, I am so happy for you.” Hazel said, as she held Mary’s hand.

“My Lady, are you in love with Lord Luther?” Mary asked gently.

Hazel chuckled softly, “Why do you think so?” she asked calmly.

“You look so in love, my Lady.” Mary replied with a tone of excitement in her voice.

They both looked at each other for some moment, without uttering a word. Hazel quickly cleared her throat, as her face turned red with blush.

“Elliot, must be so lucky to have you.” Hazel said, with smiles hovering at her face.

“Thanks my Lady, but I would say same to you, Lord Luther should be the most happy man to have someone like you as his wife, you are very beautiful and brave, the dream woman to every man, you are indeed a sweet soul my Lady.” Mary said genuinely.

Hazel drew her closely, and hugged her tightly round her arms, “Thank you so much Mary.”

A voice from behind disrupted their emotional moment together, “I see the maidens are now getting fond of you, my wife.” Luther said, from behind.

Mary quickly pulled herself from Hazel’s embrace, as she heard Lord Luther’s voice, anxiety filled her whole.

“Good day, Lord Luther.” Mary greeted, as she left immediately.

Luther walked towards Hazel, he pulled her to himself, as he whispered softly into her ears, “You look much beautiful today, do you plan on seducing me, wife?” Luther whispered softly.

Hazel smiled, as she placed her hands on his masculine chest, “And what if I seduce you, husband, what would you do?” she asked sweetly.

They both stared intently into each other’s eyes, Luther pulled her closely, and hugged her tightly round his arms, he sniffed her hair and ears, with his eyes closed.

“Oh Hazel! You smell so good.” Luther whispered with a husky voice into her ears, his grip on her tightened, as if trying to devour her.

They stayed in each other’s arms for what seems like forever, Luther slowly whispered into her ears, “I have a surprise for you wife.” She quickly pulled herself away from his grip, to catch his gaze.

“And what could that be.” She asked without hesitation.

“Lady Hazel!” A voice screamed her name, from behind.

Hazel heard a familiar voice, as she turned immediately towards that direction, to know who it was, she stood still, and was shocked by who she saw, she never thought Luther would go that far to grant her wish for her.

Rita called with excitement, as she ran towards Hazel, they both embraced each other tightly, they were lost in their embrace, Luther calmly left them to enjoy their moments together.

“Oh, Rita! I have missed you.” Hazel said, as she exhaled softly.

“Oh, Hazel! Oh! You look more beautiful, Luther is really taking good care of you, Hazel.” Rita said happily, as she caressed Hazel’s face with her palm, they both laughed softly.

“How’s father doing?” Hazel asked inquisitively.

“Oh, Hazel! Father has missed you so much, he can’t stop talking about you, he sent his regards.” Rita calmly said, they both chuckled softly.

“Come with me Rita, we have a lot to discuss about.” Hazel said as she held Rita’s hands.

They both walked to her chamber, laughing and chatting, there were murmurs from the hall-way as Hazel and Rita walk-passed, the other maidens were so surprised to see her laughing, they’ve never seen her indulge in a conversation with any of the maidens, and that really got them thinking. Hazel was so happy to see Rita, and that really changed her mood for the day.
