Chapter 236 Why are you in my bed?
The following day at the castle, a disturbing and comedic scene, the first of it's kind really aroused the attention of the cleaners and the guards who were awake early enough to witness it.
The scene was of Amara Leopold, the injured woman Adler had brought into the castle, chasing him with a feather duster in her hands. He was running away from her as if his life depended on it while she screamed at the top of her voice, "Get back here."
"No." they heard him shouting back.
Life in the governor's castle was never boring, something was always happening. Once they witnessed the governor's personal guard Tion toss Lora Storm into the pool of water in one of the public guest bathrooms.
Now, a whole minister was being chased by a strange woman. For a while, everyone had assumed that Adler was interested in Arya Storm, but it was beginning to look like there was someone else maybe. Who was the new addition to the mix.
One of Mega's maids that was carrying the baby's laundry to be washed giggled and told she was walking with, "Things are going to be even more interesting around here than usual."
"It's going to be a love triangle." the other maid said.
The nosy white cat was passing by and she caught all that was said, but would it reach Scarlet's ears exactly as it had been said?
Scarlet on her end was just waking up, ever since she diffused the hostage situation she had fallen on her bed and slept like a baby until this very second when her eyelashes flattered and she yawned with a small smile on her face.
The first thought to cross her mind was that her shoulders ached and she was in need of a massage.?The second was had Justin had breakfast yet. Her third thought was a question of how long she had been sleeping for.
"Sixteen hours." a female voice next to her answered her unvoiced question, prompting her to open her eyes wide and gasp.
"Lythia!!" she said in shock.?Scarlet looked around because she was beginning to think for one small second that maybe she was not in her bed but the underworld. But this was her bedroom, or what looked like her bedroom anyway.
"It is your bedroom, the one on your world." Lythia confirmed.
"Why are you in my bed?"?Scarlet blurted the question out instantly as if it had been on the tip of her tongue.
Lythia chuckled and said, "So my brother can visit you in this world but I can't?"
Scarlet frowned and said, "Your brother has never visited me in my bed. That would be super weird, and wrong."
"Why?" Lythia asked.
Scarlet gave Lythia a look that said, 'Isn't it obvious?' "He is a man and I am a woman." she replied. She heard it in her own mind, just how unsure her reply was.
"Are you asking me or telling me?" Lythia asked her.
"Both." Scarlet replied, again, unsurely. "But we should get back to the main issue, why are you in my bed?"
"I spent the night here." Lythia raised her body, yawned and stretched. Her bones moved and broke so loudly as if they were being hammered by a hard steel weapon. "Aah, that feels better, your bed is so uncomfortable." she said when she finished.
"No, my bed is normal, your deity body isn't." Scarlet deadpanned.
"I am hungry, make me breakfast." Lythia told her.
Scarlet's mind was taking a while to processing everything as it happened. One, she had slept for sixteen long hours with Lythia. Two, Lythia the deity wanted her to make her breakfast. The way she was ordering for it reminded Scarlet of Severus when he was hungry. Neither one of them had manners, but it wasn't as if she could say no to the deity of darkness. Her powers freaked her out even more than those of the old deity.
Right now, Lythia was going through her wardrobe as if she owned it, picking out the dresses which caught her fancy and replicating them out of thin air.
"I will take a shower first, a quick one."?Scarlet sighed and said.
"Ouuh, let's do it together, you can scrub my scrub." Lythia abandoned the activity of replicating clothes and instead took off all of hers with the snap of her finger. She stood before Scarlet, completely naked and not the slightest bit embarrassed or shy. "What are you waiting for?"
She snapped her fingers and Scarlet found herself just as naked as Lythia was. She on the other hand reacted differently, covering her breasts with one hand and her private area with another.
"Stop snapping your fingers." she told Lythia.
"Why? What are you doing?" Lythia chuckled. "Can't a mother and daughter be naked around each other?"
"No." Scarlet replied. She led the way to the bathroom still, and Lythia followed her.
"Ouuh, I love this." Lythia said and she dove into the large bath and started swimming from one end to the other.
"Quick shower your ladyship, quick shower." Scarlet reminded her. Often, she heard people in the underworld refer to Lythia as her her ladyship and she was beginning to catch on as well.
Lythia was like a child,?she frolicked, created dolphins and small boats in the water and she played with them. While Scarlet stepped into the shower, Lythia added scented oils and flowers to the water.
When Scarlet stepped out of the shower, the bathroom smelled like fresh lilies and herbs. Lythia and the dolphins she created were spitting water up wards, making the entire bathroom went.
She ignored the deity and left the bathroom, dressed up and left the bedroom with plans to go to the kitchen directly.
"Good morning governor." three of her maids were waiting outside her bedroom door, lined up with cleaning equipment and a hand held laundry basket.
"Good morning ladies," she responded. She was about to leave when she recalled the deity in her bathroom. "Come back later." she told them. "I have a guest."
If Lythia was planning to have breakfast from here then she would be seen by everyone, Scarlet thought it would be easier if she called her a guest.
"Yes, your friend Lythia, we met her yesterday." Gertrude replied with a smile.
Scarlet was surprised, what did she mean by they met her?
"How?" she asked the maid.
"She came in with you yesterday." Gertrude replied.
"You all saw her?" she asked the other two maids.
They nodded, each confirming that they had seen Lythia with Scarlet yesterday. It was obvious that these memories had been planted by Lythia herself. Unless she was the one who had no memory of it.
Sometimes, Scarlet loathed the deities for the mind manipulation they engaged in.
Brooding, she went to the kitchen and cooked up a large meal of pancakes, sandwiches, eggs and bacon.?Right on cue, as she was finishing up, Severus and Lythia made their grand entrance.
Both filled their plates and settled in to eat in silence, filling their tummies until all that she had cooked run out. They did not even leave a single crumb behind, even the sandwiches she had set aside for Justin were taken by Lythia.
When Lythia was finished, she gave Scarlet ten high energy crystals and disappeared right before the eyes of the maids who continued to look on as if nothing extraordinary had happened.
Scarlet tested the waters and asked them, "Have you seen my friend Lythia?"
"Yes, she just went through the side door a few minutes ago." Coral replied.
"Of course," Scarlet mumbled.?As expected of a deity, they could come and go as they pleased.
She held the high energy crystals in her hands for a moment and a random thought crossed her mind, how much would grim reapers pay for cooked food in the underworld.
