My Master's Sweetest Blood
Chapter 4: A Cursed Bound
When I woke up, I felt weak.
If it wasn't for the pair of glowing red eyes that were looking at me from the edge of my bed, I would have gone back to sleep.
The child, who looked a little bit older than before, stared at me angrily.
He didn't speak, he just stared at me.
Sienna Frost
Are you feeling better now?
The child didn't speak. He simply glared at me with all the anger in the world.
The door suddenly slowly pushed open, and the child snarled at the Commander walk in.
Sienna Frost
Commander Blaine...
He took off his helmet when he saw me, overjoyed.
Maids rushed into the room as well, opening up the curtains.
Justin Blaine
I was so worried about you.
Sienna Frost
How long have I been out for?
Justin Blaine
We're at midday the day after the saving operation.
I've slept for a long time then...
Justin Blaine
I'll have the chef prepare something for you. You need to eat to regain your strength.
He then glared at the boy who glared back with as much hostility.
Something happened between them while I was out.
Sienna Frost
Something light, please.
Justin Blaine
No, you're having a full-course meal. You haven't eaten breakfast either.
Justin Blaine
Your assistant would agree.
Sienna Frost
Where is he? I hope I didn't overwhelm him too much.
Justin Blaine
Because of your... rash behaviour...
He stared right at the boy, frowning.
Justin Blaine
We have to submit the paperwork for special circumstances.
Justin Blaine
That boy is going to bring us more trouble than good.
Sienna Frost
Commander Justin Blaine!
He froze, noticing how angry I was at him saying that.
Sienna Frost
Don't say that. Have I made myself clear?
He looked at the boy by my bedside and snarled, kneeling down.
Justin Blaine
Yes. Understood, My Lady...
I knew that it would take a miracle for those two to get along...
I stared towards the boy, who I still didn't know very well.
Sienna Frost
What's your name?
Sienna Frost
My name is Sienna Frost.
Justin Blaine
The boy won't speak, My Lady.
Justin Blaine
To think he holds contempt for you saving his life-
Sienna Frost
Commander Blaine, that's enough.
Sienna Frost
Have someone fetch the tailor.
Sienna Frost
Those clothes are too shabby for him. He needs proper clothes.
Justin Blaine
But My Lady...
Justin Blaine
Rumours will circulate about a child being in the manor.
Justin Blaine
It would harm your reputation... people would think-
Sienna Frost
It's fine. Truly.
Sienna Frost
Go fetch the tailor, Junia Jeopard, from "Tails of the Wind".
Justin Blaine
Yes, My Lady.
As the Commander bowed and left, I was left with the child.
Sienna Frost
Did no one offer you a bath?
He didn't make a move to answer. He just stared at me angrily.
Sienna Frost
Do you regret making a contract with me?
His eyes opened wide as he looked up and met my gaze.
It took him a moment, but instead of answering 'yes' or 'no', he folded his arms begrudgingly.
Sienna Frost
I won't force you to work or to do anything.
Sienna Frost
You're welcome to stay here as long as you like. The world outside is dangerous for a child, especially a special child like you.
Just as we went to protest, my assistant rushed through the door.
Ashton Smith
My Lady! You're awake!!!
I smiled as Ashton rushed in, on the brink of tears.
Sienna Frost
I'm fine. I was just a little light-headed and tired.
Ashton Smith
My Lady, we were all so worried about you!
Sienna Frost
I'm fine. I'm fine, Ashton.
