Life as a maid was not easy, the constant gossip and the task to complete were a daily basis. It was not enjoyable and it was even more frustrating that Duke Regis refused to fire you, he never stated his reasons yet he was always consistent about his decision. He left you no other option but to escape the Duchy without notifying anyone. It was late at night when you decided to sneak out, tiptoeing your way outside the walls of the manor, careful enough not wake anyone up.

As you were about to step out of the main gates, a pair of hands snatched you away. Easily throwing you over his shoulder and carrying you without an effort, Duke Regis did not speak after quite some time.

“We are going back.”
