After my much needed bath (sara had done an excellent job) I headed for a much needed rest. Entering my guest cottage elsa was there waiting for me “ Did you enjoy your bath Master” she said… I smiled and nodded, I climbed into bed and elsa climbed in with me and curled up close to me…I gathered her into my arms and we lay there like that for quite awhile…Elsa.. I said
You may sleep with me tonight… But I have no plans to use you, If you still wish to stay under those conditions then fine…if not then go to the foot of the bed to sleep… she smiled and just cuddled in closer as we fell asleep. As I awoke the next morning elsa was not in my bed nor a the foot so I gathered myself and the clean clothes she laid out for me and dressed…as I went into the next room however, I was greeted with an array of sweet lavender and many candles arranged just so…as I stood there observing this delightful scene, elsa entered walked into the circle of candles and fell to her knees and reached out to grab my feet…her head down forehead against the tiles…
I instantly knew what she was about to do so I spoke with a loud voice
“Stop…Do Not Do this…you know that begging a Warriors collar has only two endings..by the codes I must collar you or kill you…Leave my presence now for I will not put my collar on you”
With soft sobs and tears she rose up and ran from the room and disappeared into the kennels…she never returned to my cottage nor spoke to me again. I spoke kindly to Jacobed about her and asked that no harm come to her…sara was chosen to replace elsa as my chamber slave.
(mara)
While I was gone it seems My friend had been spending a lot of time at the Tavern..He had gotten very cozy with mara and used her often in the alcove…Her beauty and grace had won Him over and I discovered that she loved to ask him questions about all that was going on in His life…Jacobed was falling for mara and often bragged about the wealth He would soon have…without realizing it He gave away information a paga slave should never have…But He did not think about that,, He was in love.. He trusted her…after all she would be His slave in His collar..even if He had to buy the Tavern to get her. I felt very uneasy about this relationship and tried to speak to Jacobed about my suspicions but He just brushed it off and accused me of being jealous since I rejected her and He got her..I was not willing to allow this girl to come between us so I let it go with a warning to keep the time of our transporting the treasure from anyone… He agreed…
The next day we went to the site to look at the front of the project which was now complete only the doors we needed and we had hired a very special person to build them. I was anxious to get this part done for until the treasure was inside the vault it was vulnerable to attack…I would not sleep well till that was accomplished…it was near dark when we left and I happened to look over on the other shore and noticed a robbed figure watching us…that I did not like and wondered who that was and why was He watching us…
