Chapter 14: All You Can Eat
We spent hours there... I was shaved, cleansed, and bathed with something that was quite lovely to my nose, or was it just the bathing water? I felt like a weight was lifted off me like my very soul was renewed and I was born again. I didn’t want the feeling of the water against my body to stop... it was just so smooching and I felt heavenly.
I was able to smile slightly because of it, it was relaxing, my bones relaxed too, something I have never felt like forever, and my body was at peace.
"This stream soothes the body and the soul, not only will it wash you of the mortal realm filth but it will heal your body also," Elvenia said to me the moment we were done. "The master only uses the bathing water and now you do too"
I blink... this is his personal bathing water? And yet he let me use it?
"The master is the only one who has the right to touch you, Forgive me for setting my unworthy hands on you," she said with a bow and I was puzzled once again.
He was the only one who had the right to touch me? Is that why he insisted on bathing me? And fell dead silent when I told him no? Well mostly like he put it ’Bathing you will hurt you’ was he hurt by that fact? My head was swirling with different questions and answers but none I got the true answer from.
Elvenia told me she would be right back with some clothes and I just remained lost in my head. Does this mean he wasn’t concerned about filth but truly wanted to bathe me? How on earth should I respond to that?
I was bought by this mysterious godly man who I have no idea his use for me. They called me a fairy and yet he calls me his bride?
My heart throbbed just thinking that. His bride... Does it mean he wishes to marry me? someone he doesn’t know of? Someone he just purchases randomly?
gods I can’t think anymore, I was already having a headache but still... I was determined to find out more.
Elvenia was back, I was dried and she clothed me in a white spotless nightgown, it seemed worldly to me because I was scared I would stain it but I was as clean as this spotless gown. I have never worn so much white before and it caused a funny feeling to my insides.
