krystalkatzficz“Yes, all yours” The lord smiled moving him further into the room his hand on the small of his back. His hand was as ever cold, but the touch was gentle, and he almost enjoyed the way that his thumb moved up and down his spine. “In this wardrobe are clothes for you, they should all fit you. If you need anything else just let me or Masaki know, and we will bring you anything that you need”
“Why…Why are you doing this? For me?” Nino asked while looking at the wardrobe full of clothes. Every single one was more expensive than anything he or anyone in the village had ever own. Even the priest and priestess never owned anything so beautiful. He lightly ran his fingers over the items as the lord stroked his spine again.
“You’re my consort, it is my duty to take care of you” He purred his voice echoing around his mind again and Nino shivered as the hands moved away from him. “You should rest, there is water in the jug for you to wash your face and hands. Night clothing has already been prepared for you”
“Thank-you my lord” Nino whispered turning to look at the man who was already hovering by the door preparing to leave. The lord of the mountain smiled slowly and then shook his head saying;
“Jun…”
“I’m sorry?”
“You should call me Jun. It is what people I like call me” The lord smiled again and then bowed his head one final time before leaving the room and closing the door with a soft click. Nino stared at the sealed door for several long minutes unable to understand what was going on. This morning everything had made sense. He had been prepared for what would happen, he hadn’t liked it, but he had accepted it and now…Now everything…Nothing made sense and he didn’t know how he was meant to react. He closed his eyes tightly and then dropped to the floor holding his head in his hands.
Rocking back and forth he breathed sharply through his nose and trying to calm the rapid beating of his heart. It was almost as though he could hear the thumping of it echoing around the large room that was now his bedroom. The feeling was so strange and slowly he opened his eyes again and looked around the beautiful room. It was incredible, better then anything he could have dreamed of in the lowest moments of his short life.
“How can I deserve all this?” He whispered his voice flat as he looked around the beautiful room smiling at the bright collection of flowers that were resting in a vase against the window. It was surreal, incredibly so, and he got to his feet. He padded over the floor towards the flowers. He reached out and stroked the largest of the flowers. It was deep and bright yellow in colour and unlike any flower he had ever seen before. The scent was sweet, like honeysuckle but somehow even sweeter, and the petal felt like silk to his touch. From here he could see out of the window and down the mountain towards the village. Candles had already been lit and although it was too far for him to see clearly, he was sure that he could see the lights of his parents’ small home. He wondered if they had been told what had happened and if they were worried about him or if they were happy that he was still alive.
He stared at the lights of the village of Shadows for longer than he could count before realising he was growing tired, his body felt heavy and his buttocks ached from riding on the horse. Sighing he said a small prayer for his family and then turned from the window almost gasping in surprise and fear when he saw the lord of the mountain stood beside the door. He had shed his black robes and was wearing a soft grey tunic, his hair spilled down around his shoulders and his eyes were fixed on his face. A crown of woven gold sat upon his brow and for a moment Nino fancied that he was looking at the prince of a fairy tale over the lord of death.
“Forgive me little one, I didn’t mean to startle you. I did call out but you didn’t answer”
“I’m sorry, my lord Jun, I…I was looking down at the village…” He breathed feeling embarrassed by the way his voice trembled with unshed tears. He shouldn’t have felt anything more than gratitude, his lord had spared his life and given him a grand position in his house. He had asked nothing of him, had given him rooms of his own, and had treated with nothing but respect since he had arrived.
“I saw…I’m sorry, I told you I see all that happens under the sun, little one, and you I see with far more clarity”
“I was wondering if my parents had been told…”
“They were, the moment we left the village, little one, have no fear on that. In time perhaps, you will be able to see them again for now though I suggest you rest” The lord led him to the edge of the bed and Nino had to stand on tiptoe to sit down upon it. It was the barest touch of his bum on the soft mattress but even that told him this was probably the most comfortable bed that he had ever slept on. “Would you like for me to stay with you? Just until you fall asleep?”
“Yes, please, if that its not too much trouble…” Nino whispered shyly watching the way the man’s thumb moved over the back of his hand.
“No trouble at all…”
“I’m sorry my lord, I will try to be better I want to be a good consort to you…”
“Don’t worry about that little one, I have waited many years for you…Someone worthy of being my consort, I can’t wait many more for trust to be built between us, now sleep”
