Conquest of Love: Leo X Reader

Chapter 6: British Butler

You now sat. On the floor. In a room which you didn't want to be in. At all.

"Do I have to be in here?" You asked the blonde man sitting at his desk.

He cocked his head towards you. "I told you not to ask questions. You are a prisoner. Nothing more. So keep quiet." He responded.

"Ok. Well. At least tell me why you are keeping me alive right now. Earlier you said you wanted to negotiate between the resistance. But that was a lie. So why am I here now?"

Xander sighed and stood up. He walked over to you and crouched down to your level. "With my father as king of Nohr, I am not yet allowed to have really any authority. So I cannot decide your fate for you." Xander stood. "My father will be the one to decide whether you live and stay here, or you die."

"Wait." You thought. "If I'm allowed to live, why do I have to stay here?"

"I am not allowed to tell you that. Yet." He slowly walked back to his desk and continued writing.

You yawned. You were exhausted. So you laid down on the floor and closed your eyes. Quickly, you drifted off into sleep.

Your eyes opened slowly. But you sat up and realized where you were. You looked over at Xander. Who was asleep in his bed. You then had a debate in your head whether you should wake him or not.

You tried to stand, but you were so weak, so you fell down and landed on your back. You groaned in pain.

"You can't sit still and be quiet for 5 seconds can you?" Xander said as he opened his eyes and looked over at you.

"Umm. Sorry?" You said as he sat up and swung his legs over the side of his bed.

There was a small knock at the door.

"Come in." Xander said.

"Sorry to be a bother earlier than usual. I heard something a few rooms down and had to check in."
Said a man with a British accent and long silver hair.

"Your fine Jakob. Everything is ok." Xander said as he stood up. "Do me a favor, will you?"

"Yes milord?"

"Take the girl and keep her in your sight until we're all ready."

"Yes milord." Jakob bowed and walked over to you. He held out his hand and you hesitated before grabbing it.

He pulled you up and you followed him out of the room.

"For the time being you will follow me around and watch me do my work. As soon as everyone is ready I will hand you over to one of them." Jakob said to you as you followed him down the hallway.

Your legs were shaky as you walked. You hadn't eaten or drank anything in 24 hours. Something you were not accustomed to.

This was going to be a long day.
