Caitriona had rose close to an hour previous to that of Lady Dimitrescu, requiring to bathe, as all servants in the employ of House of Dimitrescu were commanded, however short, and to fill her belly with breakfast before her day started officially with the preparation of Lady Dimitescu’s own bath. Once, Dimitrescu Castle had been frightening, the pit of hell that women were sold into and never seen and in time, heard from again. Now, it was simply considered as her home, dangerous or not.
Simply put, Caitriona’s arrival upon the steps of Dimitrescu Castle had been met with silent trepidation. It was no secret to the village that once women entered those elegant, towering doors, they would inevitably disappear, never to be seen or heard from again. She had cursed the man that had once been her father for selling her off in means of gaining fortune, to send her into the arms of certain death.
Those in the village spoke often of the rumours and tales that had circulated the Castle and it’s the Lady that stalked within it since the days that saw the Cult of the Black God settled and Mother Miranda begun sinking her poisonous talons within their beloved mountainside community. Spoke of those that had either been sent or made the unfortunate, drunken mistake to approach the property and never been seen again. Spoke of the tales whispered by disloyal servants that were sent to the village to purchase needed assets and spoke of acts of violence and cannibalism that served to only support the rumours spoken by the elders.
Lady Dimitrescu was frightening, swift to anger and violent in her punishments, her unforgiving personality strengthened by an towering 9′6 stature and yet, Caitriona had found it impossible to resist, impossible to ignore her beauty even when in rage. Weeks, no, months of slow burn, of gentle but purposeful touches had worn her down and had given herself willingly when the topic of intimacy rose.
“Doamna mea.” She spoke softly, strands of obsidian locks wiggling free from her bun as the Maiden willingly bowed in official greetings to her Lady before soft feet carried her into the bathroom, beginning the monstrously sized bath. “I hope that your rest has left you feeling in good health.” Whilst her relationship with Alcina was, to a small degree, different to the other maidens, the expectation to treat Lady Dimitrescu as taught during her arrival never changed, remaining as a servant and nothing more, only acting on her desire to touch and approach when prompted by the Lady herself.
