The Demon's Personal Maid

The Dress is not for You

The next two days came fast and Xavier followed Dorin to the tailor's shop as she wanted to buy a dress for the party at Rivelle, unknown to Dorin, he followed her for something else. When they reached the shop, the tailor man bowed his head to show respect

"Its my privilege to have you at my shop, Milord"

"My pleasure" Xavier said and the tailor also bowed to Lady Dorin.

Soon she started checking for dresses. Back when they were at the carriage, Xavier had asked her what kind of dresses women loved and Dorin told him the types, the silk dressed that had smooth texture probably the most expensive of all, then the dresses of normal fabric but with different designs and stones, she told him also cause she taught he was getting one for her. As Dorin checked for dresses, she would occasionally ask him if  the dress she picked was okay but he never answer except for a 'hmmn'. Meanwhile, Xavier's eyes were busy roaming around the shop as he was looking for a dress for Hazel and yes she was following him to the party at Rivelle. He wasn't searching for something extraordinary but something moderate, not to captivating and eye catchy, he wanted to keep her on a low profile. She was too beautiful to him and having her wear something eye catchy will have all men staring at her which he didn't want. His eyes landed on an emerald green dress, the top has lace covering it till it reached the top of the bosom part, it had few layers below and have emerald green stones on it too arranged like flowers. He picked it up and asked for the price. Dorin was shocked because this wasn't the type of cloth she expected him to pick for her

"How much is this"

"Milord, that dress is not suitable for Lady Dorin" the tailor man said, he also taught Xavier was here with Dorin

"How much is this" he asked again ignoring the statement

"I don't like the dress" Dorin said this time "its to cheap"

Xavier tilted his head to her direction raising a brow in question " The dress is not for you Lady Dorin" she was shocked and immediately realised it was for Hazel

"Fifteen silver coins Milord" the tailor man said

"You're not buying that dress for that maid, are you, she's not following us to the party next week"

Xavier ignored her while he paid for the dress
"And what if I am" he finally said after paying

"She isn't invited and commoners aren't allowed"

Xavier didn't answer her again, he waited for her to pay for hers and they went back to the mansion

At the mansion,Hazel was talking to the rabbit
"Am I meant to feel weird relles"

'No you dont' relles replied inwardly

"He hasn't come up with his flirty advances again since two days now, he isn't even asking for my blood , he's taking what I said serious" she complained

'Woman, what do you want, aren't you the one that told him all those' relles said to himself again

"I'm supposed to be happy but I can't help but feel lonely"

'WTF, lonely!!?'

There was a knock on the door and Hazel opened it to see Mrs Decron

"Good day Milady" she greeted but Mrs Decron didn't answer, she pushed the door wide open and entered inside

"Who were talking to" she asked

"My rabbit, I talk to him when there no one to talk to"

"I see you and the lord are close"

"It's not as you  think"

"Of course I can't dare call you such if I don't want my head next in the line" Mrs Decron said sarcastically

"What can I do for you ma'am"

"I want you to come clean my room, other maids are busy"

"I'm sorry but lord Xavier had said I shouldn't step out of the room if he isn't around"

"Seriously? … I'm sure he has bedded you"

"No ma'am we've done no such thing"

"I know my son…" 'step son you mean' hazel thought "and he doesn't waste time in bedding women, what's so different about you"

"I don't know"

"You don't, well let me tell you, its because your a witch, maybe you're one of those improvised dark witches"

"I'm not such ma'am"

"Can you prove it"

"If I have way"

"Then inhale this" Mrs Decron said bringing out a little bottle which had a pure crystal liquid in it

"What's this ma'am" Hazel asked

"Its a potion to see if ones a witch or not"

That was a kind of drink that was for vampires, when inhaled by any other kind can cause different reactions. If inhaled by a human, it will turn them unconscious and for a witch, it cause some skin irritation, it had no effects on vampires. Mrs Decron's plan was actually to get Hazel unconscious dince she waa human and then send her away from Borreve maybe to Poetwyth since it was far away using this opportunity that Xavier wasn't around.

"Go on, take it" Mrs Decron said

For some reason, Hazel was scared of getting hold of the bottle, she slowly stretched out her hand and grabbed it just staring at the bottle

"Are you scared, are you a witch after all" she taunted

"No I'm not"

"Then inhale, what are you waiting for"

Hazel slowly brought it to her nose and inhaled a little before the door bust open

"What's going on here" Xavier said as he looked as his step mom " what are you doing here "he narrowed his eyes as he saw the bottle Hazel was holding and he quickly collected it watching Hazel to see her reaction to it but surprisingly nothing happened. She didn't seem to feel dizzy as she was meant to be. He then turned back to Mrs Decron

"What were you planning on doing to Hazel here and why are you in here in the first place"

"I aren't meant to go certain areas in this mansion?"

"You aren't allowed in my quarters when I aren't around"

"What's bad if I come here"

"Why tell her to inhale this"

"Ohh, I wanted to see if she was a witch and has cast some kind of spell on you" she said hiding her real intentions

"You can leave"

"But look she isn't responding to it, she meant to be unconscious by now" Mrs Decron was also surprised, she just wanted her to turn unconscious and then send her out for good but the sudden turn of events was shocking

"I said leave" Xavier roared this time and she left immediately. Hazel stood there like a statue, she didn't know how she was meant to react to that potion

"Why aren't you feeling dizzy" he asked

"Am I meant to?"

"Aren't you human?"

This time she didn't answer, she never planned on any of this to happen today

"Are you not human?" He asked again with his eyes piercing into hers

"I promised yo tell you next week"

"Tell me what?"

"Everything"

"…" for the first time, Xavier was speechless, she isn't human' he said to himself

'You didn't notice, what a fool' relles who was listening butt in for only Xavier to hear. He gave relles a strong glare and relles rolled it's eyes internally

"Then tell me a hint of what you are" he said

"You won't believe"

"Just say it"
