He heard the sound of two pair of shoes approaching this way, and who could come this way rather than the owner of the room, no one else but Lady Isabelle and Joseph, who lives like her living shadow
A bell ringed inside his head, screaming the same name non-stop.
'Lady Isabelle!!'
He sat up straight, fixing his hair, and waiting but, then he changed his position.
He covered his body with luxury red blanket, and faked sleeping.
Lady Isabelle and lord Joseph walking through the corridors, heading towards her room.
They were walking while discussing, about some matters related to the kingdom and the king.
"The king is send people to spy on me?"
"Yes, my lady, more than five''
"They could be hiding in the servants crew"
"I know, three are there and two outside the castle, keeping eye on where I went and when I came back"
"It will by a foolish move, if we misunderstood them, and just thought them as a weak opponents, my lady"
"Yes, Joseph, you are right, cause we don't know what they came with or where this thin fate of string will take them?
We just know that the king has send them on a mission to find out something about me, like a big secret, which he can later use it against me in a battle or so"
"I can kill them right now, my lady, if you command me, I just need your one word then nothing is gonna stop me, my lady"
His voice being usually calm.
"No, if you will kill them so soon and so fast, where is the fun in it? You know when you have the king's crown in your hands and the king of the nation everyone terrifies from him and here the king, himself fears me, it is very much fascinating"
"Tell me something else that I don't know, Joseph"
""There is a rumour going around in the noble families"
"What rumours you speak of?"
She sounded casual on her words.
"That you have brought your self a pet"
"What??"
She found herself dumbfounded.
"Really? Wow see the rumour is about me, but I myself don't know"
She laughed gracefully.
*Sounds of rushing in the room*
Isabelle stopped in her tracks when she heard the rushing sound coming from inside the room, following her Joseph also stopped in his tracks.
Puzzled she turned back to look at Joseph.
"What is Andrew even doing inside?"
She again started moving with her steps and the sound suddenly stopped.
The sound of silence came from inside.
"I just hope he did not break anything, my wish is just that"
She started walking on her tracks again, but only to be stopped by Joseph, this time.
"My lady!"
Stopping on her tracks, she turned around.
"My lady, we don't what's happening inside, it could be a attacker too"
He stood in front of Isabelle, his back facing her, holding up his sword to protect her from anything which could her way.
"Now let's go"
As Joseph was someone who lived like her shadow, it was necessary to protect her, from any unseen harm and he was right in his place, as he was just making sure that she is safe.
They both entered the room and found no attacker in the room, just the darkness, the burning candles and Andrew sleeping under the blanket.
"Weird"
Stated Joseph, looking inside the room.
He placed his sword back inside, when he found that everything is safe and fine.
Isabelle gave Joseph a sign with her hands.
'he is awake'
'let's play a little game with him'
Joseph gave a nod to her.
"Andrew?" Isabelle called him.
Slowly coming his way.
On reaching him, she sat on the bed, her legs in contact with the cold floor. She placed her hand on his forehead to check his temperature.
"His fever is gone"
"Is he sleeping, my lady"
On Joseph's questions, she tried her best not to smile and to stop any sound of laughing that could be heard.
Andrew faked sleeping.
"Let's go, I am hungry and I want to eat sweets"
Isabelle said clicking her tongue.
Knowing well the fact that Andrew is a big fan of sweet and he can not stop his arges from tasting the food.
"I will eat too!!"
Came Andrew shouted and he woke up from his fake sleep.
Isabelle turned her face to Andrew, and accidentally their faces came this much close that, he spiked a heartbeat.
A smirk appeared on her face, it was clearly written on her smirk, that I caught you acting on a act.
Holding a victorious smirk, she placed her hand on the blanket beside Andrew, trapping him.
She moved closer to him, and this got him, moving backwards on the bed his hands at the back of him to balance his body, which was moving back without a knowledge that when he might fall down from the bed.
"My lady? What are you doing?"
He said in his shaking voice and with his red face.
While moving back, his elbow lost its balance, making him stumble on his elbow and due to this, he lost his balance and fell down on the bed.
This did not stopped Isabelle from moving farther more closer to him.
Now, Isabelle was on top of Andrew, and he was underneath him, just a red blanket between them to keep their bodies separate, preventing their bodies from getting in skin contact.
Their eyes met, and Isabelle winked at him, flirting.
Unable to keep up with the sudden fire burning inside him, he pulled the blanket up to his head, hiding his face underneath the blanket.
The blanket hiding the embarrassed Andrew underneath it.
"Lady Isabelle....."
Came his low, pleasure full voice.
