Gisele

THIRD PERSON POV

The trade island of Gavreau was known as one of the most important trade islands in the European sea. Because of its strategic location, traders around the world would stop by and perform businesses with local traders. The island of Gavreau is being ruled by the royal family for generation and will continue to be ruled by the Gavreau many years to come. Queen Gisele, the sole heir to the throne was forced to step up as the new ruler at the tender age of 16 after her father, the King perished in a shipwreck on his way to a summit. When she turned 17, the royal advisor thought that she would be too young to rule a kingdom by herself so they grant her wish to marry her love interest who's not from a royal bloodline. From the fruit of that marriage, they were granted with a son. After three years Prince Gaultier was born, they were once again granted with another child that was later named as princess Elaria.

King Armand, Queen Gisele's husband was not a loyal man to his queen. He was known as a king who l required different woman companion every time the queen has to attend her official meetings and royal duty. The advisor strongly suggested that the queen should leave the king but she was worried that her kids will not receive any type of fatherly figure if she does leave the king. Even though he's not a loyal husband, he's a devoted father to their children. At the other side of the island, four women were just getting themselves ready for their night shift. Helvisa Balzac, one of many Satan mistress's daughters was banished together with her friends to earth after they committed treason in the underworld. Even though they were banished, they were surprised that Satan didn't strip their power away from them. Helvisa grabbed a hair binder and tied her blonde hair in a high ponytail. She sighs when she looks down at her uniform. "Why do we have to be a waitress is beyond me." Armina, Helvisa's trusted advisor and also known as the wise one of the group chuckled.

"Because we have to pay the rent and for the food, we have to eat. You know how difficult it is to control Eris when there is no raw meat." Armina offered to zip Helvisa up. "Could you?" Helvisa turned and removed Armina's long wavy brown hair from her back and zipped her up as well. "I'm sorry my lady. I am just too hungry whenever there's a full moon." Eris looked down to her feet. "Don't be sad Eris, I'll find a nice man for you to feed next time," Reina assured her friend. "Don't get any stupid idea, Reina. You're a siren, yes, but we want to keep the image of being a low profile 'human' as well." Reina pouts and tied her blonde hair in a messy bun. "I'm tired of being a peasant my lady. Why do I have to control myself whenever a useless man tries to get his hands on me? He should face my wrath." Helvisa glared at Reina. "Reina apologise right now," Armina commanded. Reina flinched and looks down. "I'm sorry my lady. It won't happen again." Helvisa ignores her and went to the door followed by Armina. "Let's go." Was all she said. Reina felt guilty.

"Nice going Reina." Eris sighed. Reina ignored the werewolf and went to work. Eris was the last person to step out from their little apartment and lock the door. She jogs to catch up with the others. "What in the world." Helvisa breathe out when she saw their stuff were on the dirty ground of the back alley where they work. "Isn't that our stuff?" Armina said out loud and kneel to pick it up. "Yes. You're FIRED!" Helvisa can't believe what she's hearing. As far as she knows, they didn't do anything wrong nor broke something from the restaurant. She looks up to the owner of the restaurant. "Mrs Bethra, what's wrong? We didn't do anything wrong." Helvisa questioned the owner's sudden action. "You girls have been doing nothing but trouble since I picked you up from the streets!" Mrs Bethra yelled at Helvisa's face. Armina took the chance to wiped the little saliva that was landed on Helvisa's face. Helvisa held her hands up. "But you can't just fire us! There's a law regarding that." Helvisa reasoned. "Law my ass! GET OUT!" Mrs Bethra kicks Helvisa's belonging. Helvisa could see the hatred she has on Reina. "Reina, did you do something?" This time, Helvisa's orbs were completely blackened. Reina gulps down the lumps in her throat. "I .... m-ay ..... seduce... Ummm .... h-er... husband ....." by now not even Armina could control Helvisa's rage towards Reina's behaviour. "For the last time Reina..." Helvisa clenching her fist but she didn't get to finish her sentences. "GET OUT!" Mrs Bethra shouted and slammed the back door as loud as she can. "There goes our job." Eris breathe out. Helvisa taps her foot on the ground, waiting for Reina to explain herself. "I hope you already thought of a solution for our situation right now, Reina Crevier." Reina cringe when she heard her full name. "How are we suppose to pay the rent this month?!" Eris began to scratch her head as if there's flea.

"Have you've been taking a flea bath?" Armina asked. Eric gave her a nervous laughed as Armina shake her head. "It can't help." Helvisa was wondering why does Armina's face plaster with a Cheshire smile. "Don't worry for this month rent. I have enough to spare for the rent and Eris's flea bath as well." Helvisa can't believe what she's hearing right now. "You're practically a lifesaver." Armina walks in front of Reina. "And for you, you'll find us a new job. No excuses." Reina nods. "Well, let's just go home," Helvisa suggested and turn her back to the restaurant. "That place is shit anyways." She mumbled and went home with the others. *** "Did you just fired all of our private chamberlains? Have you gone mad?!" Gisele yelled at her husband, Armand. "Look, dear wife, I can't stand looking at old maids. Hire someone younger." Gisele can't believe her husband fired their old chamberlain just because they are old. "You do realise that those old maids you call were the people who raised me." Armand ignored his wife and just slumps on the bed. "I can't believe I'm marrying a pig," Gisele mumbled while turning her back to her husband. Armand was too drunk to even respond to that. Gisele went out of their royal chamber and went to her office where she always works at. But before that, she wants to say bid her kid's goodnight. She went to prince Gaultier's room. "What are you doing my dear?" She asked. "Reading a book," Gaultier replied his mother.

"What kind of book?" She went to sit on her son's bed. "Supernatural beings. Demon and stuff." Gisele wasn't sure that if it's appropriate for her son to even reading such a book. "Where did you get that kind of book?" He turned the pages on the book. "From your library. I was amazed by how much you have, mother." Gisele smiled. She knows that the book probably belongs to her father. Her late father was known to be quite a legend enthusiast. "It's getting pretty late, young man. You should sleep now." Gisele took the book from him and placed it on the bedside table. "Good night Gaultier. Sweet dreams." She kissed her son's forehead. "You to mother." After she tucks her son, she proceeds to princess Elaria's room. She chuckled when she saw her daughter practising the dance moves she learned earlier today. "Elaria honey, please go to bed now. You can practice tomorrow with your brother." Elaria blushed deep red and jump on the bed as her mother went to her side. "Don't be shy little one. I was a bad dancer myself." Elaria took a little peek at her perfect mother. "How come? I mean, you look so perfect, mother. Not even a single flaw. You're beautiful, brave and a better fatherly figure than he is." Gisele smiled and helped her daughter to lay on the bed. "Don't say that Elaria. He's still your father. Yes, what he did to us is unforgivable ...." Elaria noticed her mother look at a distance whenever she talks about him. "It's okay mother. Gaultier and I will be there for you. You don't need him." Gisele tried to keep her tears to herself when her own daughter trying to cheer her up. "Oh, Elaria. I love you so much, my princess." Gisele hugs her daughter body and kisses her forehead for good night.

"Sweet dream little one." She smiles and tucks her in as well. She closed the door and went to her office. When she's inside, her trusted advisors were already there, waiting for her. "I heard what the king did, your highness. What shall I do about it?" A white-haired man questioned. "Armel, I need you to prepared something to informed the islander that the Palace is looking for chamberlains. Since Armand fired every single one of them, I need them pronto." Armel nods his head. "I'll get to it right away." He bows to his queen and excuses himself. "Leon, how's the summit? I'm sorry I have to drag you into that and being my representative. I just have to be here since Armand's family decided to visit us." Leon, Gisele's other advisors bow down. "It's been an honour to serve you, my queen. And the summit went great. Everything went as planned," Gisele was happy to hear such good news. "I'll be presenting my achievement in tomorrow's meeting with our prime ministers. I'll explain everything tomorrow." The queen nods. "It's good to hear some great news once in a while." Leon bow. "If I may speak my heart out, your highness?" Gisele gave him her permission. "I know I've said before and I want to say it again. Why not just leave the king and be happy for a change?" Leon clear his throat. "I was there when you were born and so does Armel, my queen. We hate to see you in pain like this. It's been 9 years. You should be happy with the Prince and princess. Not like this." Gisele sighed. Leon was worried he might say too much. "Honestly, I did think about it. But ... Gaultier and Elaria, I was just thinking about them. I don't want to be selfish and just be thinking about me. You know how close Gaultier is with his father." "It's our fault for forcing you to get married at such a young age. For that, we are sorry, your highness." Gisele smiled.

"Don't blame yourself old man. You and Armel had been by my side since I was born. I was glad to be working beside you two. As long as our people are happy, my kids are happy, I'm happy." Leon was proud of his queen. She aged to be a well-defined woman. "Speaking of happy. I have something for you, your highness." Leon went to his sack and placed a souvenir in front of the queen. "Oh, Leon. You still remember my favourite chocolate." Leon smiled when he saw his queen's eyes as if it's sparkling. "Of course. Who could ever forget? I will always remember how you would bury your face on that chocolate when you're little, your highness." Gisele thank his advisor as he excuses himself. When the door was closed, she unwrapped the chocolate and took the first bite. The same old taste that made her fall in love with chocolate is right there inside her mouth. She turned her rotating chair and just enjoyed the night scenery of her kingdom. "Thank you, Leon. You never fail to make me happy."

***

Reina flipped her hair when she emerged from the ocean sea. She went out of the apartment early in the morning but somehow she ended up at the beach. "Great... more bystander." She said under her breath when she walks to the beach after bathing. She was only in her undergarment that showed her athletic figure. She ignores her wet body and putting on her clothes. "Well. Time to search for that job." She said mentally. She ignored every stared she received from the locals and look through the billboards. She was stunned by a sudden car that suddenly stopped beside her.

"Oh. Sorry." A man in suit apologised and pinned a paper on the billboard. The man nods his head and went inside the car again. After he drove away, Reina took the chance to read the content of the paper and literally rips it off from the billboard. She ran home with the paper in her grip. When she barged in the door, Helvisa and the others were just started lunch. Reina took a deep breath and shoved the paper on Armina's face. "Hmmm... what's this?" Armina grabs the paper and read through it. "A position as the royal family chamberlain eh," Armina announced loud. "Wait, this island has its own royal family? I thought it was own by some rich bastard." Eris said with her mouth full. "Don't talk with your mouth full," Armina warn her. She turns to Helvisa who's reading the paper thoroughly. "Shall we take it?" She asked. Helvisa placed the paper down and motioned for Reina to come near her. "You've done a good job and the pay is good too. Maybe we could afford to stay in one of that luxury apartment." Helvisa caressed her cheek. Reina kneels down and smiled all the way. "Oh, my lady that's such a praise coming from you." Helvisa suddenly slapped Reina across the face so hard that she fell on the floor. Reina moans with euphoria as her body hit the floor.

"That's your reward for this splendid task," Helvisa nonchalantly said. "Honestly Reina, get up from the floor and join us for lunch." Armina placed an empty plate in front of Reina. "Would you prefer old man's guts or just boring animal intestine?" Reina gags at the names and shakes her head no. "I wonder, what kind of meat is that?" Reina pointed at Eris who's chewing some kind of meat. "The cow she killed." Armina simply explained it. "What about her?" Helvisa placed her now emptied the glass and licked her lips. "That old man's blood she dried out." Reina gag again. "When do we have to go to the castle?" Helvisa was wondering. "Tomorrow would be nice," Armina suggested. "Hmmm," Helvisa replied her with a hummed. "What do you think? Should we go tomorrow?" Helvisa once again hummed her response. Armina looks at Eris and Reina. "Should we cut your hands later on?" Helvisa hummed again as she took a bite of the chunk of meat. "I'm sorry my lady but I got pregnant." Reina lied to get her attention. "Hmmmm.." Helvisa hummed again. "There was a legend that was told around the world about a little mere bunny and a huge ogre." Helvisa looks up from the paper she was reading. "What the hell are you talking about Armina?" Armina raised both eyebrows.

"Oh, you can hear me?" Helvisa nod. "Of course I can. Oh Reina, is it my child you pregnant with?" Reina was speechless. "Hmmm... it's not? Abort it." Helvisa nonchalantly. Helvisa never tolerates well when it comes with Reina. "Helvisa, she's not pregnant nor are we," Armina explained. "You seems so distant. We began to worry about you." Helvisa scoffed. "It's nothing. I had a letter from my mother. That's all." They look at each other. They know that every time Helvisa received a letter from her mother, she has the urge to visit her. "My own stupidity for pursuing such treason. Now I can't even see my own mother. This is torture for me." Armina went to her side. "We'll find a way... somehow." She assured her friend. "You told me once before, to never give up. My lady, I was dying when you found me locked up and was tortured by those villagers. You save me even though you know the consequences." Reina remembered her past. "I was giving up but you force me to live. I know you'll meet your mother soon. As Armina said, we'll find a way. Eventually." Eris nod. "You took me in when I was abandoned. That little Helvisa save me, my lady. I promise I'll do anything for that to happen as well. Even though I have to bet my own life." Eris added. Helvisa chuckled but soon turned to a hearty laughter.

"You guys should stop being so mushy." They were just having fun when they heard a weird siren sound coming from the street. Armina took the liberty to check it out but the sound disappeared for some reason. "I wonder what's all the commotion." She said as she walks back to the apartment again. "What a minute. Those siren sound familiar to me." Eris remembered something but she came to seem to make out as what. "Pirates. Those are pirates warning siren." Reina explained. "Pirates in the island? That's absurd." Eris laughed it off. "The guards probably just testing out the sound. If it's a real attack, the sirens would be continuous." Helvisa explained. "I thought pirates don't exist anymore. Why do they need those type of guards?" Armina questioned. "It is a trading island. The ruler probably thought its wise to be prepared." Helvisa stood up and went to look out the window.

"I wonder how does the queen look like. Do the princesses look hot? If so, I would like to try my luck." Eris joking around. "Eris Garr. We're going to the castle to work. Not impregnating the princesses. Be a good dog and follow my command." Helvisa was using her authoritative tone. "Yes, my lady." They said in unison.

HELVISA'S POV

"Oh come on Helvisa, be a good girl and smile for us." Armina literally forces my mouth to smile. "Armina," I warned her. But even though I did, she never cares and just continues to be her bubbly self. It's probably because of that promise we made when we first came to Earth many years ago. "There's a lot of people coming this way as well." Reina expressed her thought.

"Times like this I wish we could just fly using Armina's magic." Eris sighed from exhaustion. "You two need to be strong for this. Of course, there's a lot of people. Working for a royalty is like a dream come through." They all turned to me. "It's an honour to be by your side, my lady." If looks could kill, they all will be dead by now. Why is it so hard for them to be less polite towards me?

It's not like we're in the underworld anymore. I have no ranks and yet they still insist I'm their lady. As we were getting nearer to the royal castle of Gavreau, my eyes wandered around me. I've never seen so many young women gathering around in one place. Some of them even look like they came from outside of this island. The French woman has the best feature in beauty and that's another reason why we stick around for many years.

"THE ENTRANCE WILL BE OPEN FOR ALL IN 10 MINUTES." A man, I assumed their guard, announced. "I'm curious about their castle interior. Will it be dark and depressed like the ones we used to live in? I chuckled. I doubt it. This is humans we're talking about. They never like dark and depressing things. We were just standing around when my sensitive sense of smell kicks in.

My eyes wander and searching for the resources of this dreadful smell I fond to hate all my undead life. I lost count of how many I killed in the process. It was then my eyes landed on a beauty, standing on the stage, shooting dagger in my direction. "Hunter." I breathe out. Will she be foolish enough to start a war here or she will let me go? She smirked and looked away.

So she decided to ignore me? Why does a hunter working behind these walls? "We're in deep trouble if she decided to attack us here," Armina whispered to my ears. When I turned to her direction she pointed at Eris. Reina was trying to control her by shoving her head onto her breast. Everyone around them was wondering too why such disgusting manner being performed in front of the royal castle.

"Give her something to calm her down." Armina nodded. I focused my attention on our surrounding once more. I was surprised when I saw the very same hunter standing in front of me, smirking. "Never dream of seeing you again, Helvisa Balzac." She knows my name?! How is that possible?! "Likewise."

"Don't tell me you forgot about me." I hate to admit it, I have no idea who she is. She seems to be looking at my waist.

"Oh. No weapon? That's weird for a demon." Can she say that any louder? "If you don't mind miss, I would like to be left alone. My friends and I didn't plan to be greeted by such human." The hunter chuckled. "I am the commander for this royal army. I don't see why I can't greet the people who will be working under me." I clicked my tongue in annoyance.

To a creature who was great before, working under our enemy is one humiliating scene to even imagine. But we need this job. We have to pay the rent and other stuff. "I don't mind working under you. As long as we get pay. But, can you please leave us alone. My comrade is about to burst now." The hunter turned to Eris who's now growling humanely impossible.

"I really don't want any massacre to happen. She hasn't mated in so long as well. To see all these women right now, her beast is woken up. And yes, I meant you." I looked down on to her cleavage and licked my lips. "Let me guess, you haven't mated as well?" She took a step forward. "You can try. But I can assure you. Your charm won't work on me. Not anymore." The hunter showed me her wedding ring and leave us alone for the time being.

Seriously, does she think that ring will stop me from taking her to the bed?

"Ummm... Helvisa... it's not working." Armina half yelled. I extracted my nails long enough to penetrate her stomach to made her feel a little pain. I used Reina's body to covered my doing. She whimpered in Reina's chest. "She's going to be a little weak. But sex will help. Have your fun after this." Reina nodded while she wrapped Eris's arm around hers. "Is it really okay for them?" Armina questioned my decision.

"Would you rather she have sex with a human that will carry her child? Do you want to be a midwife again?" Armina shakes her head. "Since your potion only prevents you and Reina to have her or my kid, it's safe. For a mere human to carried a seed from Eris's bloodline. Only death will be the answer of that atrocity. Well unless she wants to turn to be her own kind."

"EVERYONE WHO WISH TO BE THE ROYAL FAMILY PRIVATE CHAMBERLAIN, PLEASE PROCEED." The Gavreau castle gate was opened for public and everyone rushing in. What are they after being so pushy all of the sudden? The guards were having some trouble controlling their guest for today. I can't blame them, this probably the first time they entered such ....... lavished lawn. "Wow." Was all I said while walking inside.

As my foot stepped on the royal ground pavement, I felt a slight pain that quickly sent some weird vibe onto my body. I turned to my friends who probably felt the same thing. I looked up to the hunter who smirked. "She placed some type of charm," Armina whispered in my ears. She bows and extended her arms, invited us in.

"Seems like they prepared some weird precaution. What kind of royal hired a hunter as their commander?" Reina voiced out as she struggling to carry Eris. "A smart one. The King and Queen being cautious about every possible enemy." I admired their smartness. This family seems different than the others.

I wonder what will be in store for us.

***

This must be the ballroom. It's huge. I never thought that they would really be going to let the subject to be inside the royal castle. "Not bad. For a human." I turned to where Armina was looking at and she's right. Not bad for a human. That must be the queen. I was expecting she be wearing those long, flowing train dress rather than a simple boho chic dress.

And where is her crown? Those two kids that she's holding must be her kids. Like their mother, they both handsome and beautiful. But where's the king? "Ahhhh!" A woman screamed not far from us. When I turned, I saw a guy wearing a royal crown, harassing the other woman. "Oh yes! Young and free!" He screamed. Is that ...... THE KING?! The queen seems to be in very tight position.

"OH YES!" I don't even see him when did he came to my side. I applauded when he suddenly grabbed my left breast and squeezing them hard. "So firm... I want you..." he turned to Armina and the others. "OH YESS! FANCY LOOKING WOMAN!" He turned to the queen. "GISELE, I WANT THEM!" His hand never left my breast.

I want to chop off his hand but that will bring more chaos. I have something special for you." He winked. He does have the looks but his attitude, wow. "I'm sorry your highness. I am not fond of the man. I'm gay." I said with my stoic expression. Besides, you'll be shocked to see me off my clothes nevertheless. "Oh.. really? Too bad. Never mind that.." he leaned in. "I'll be having so much fun seeing you rape my wife instead." He winked.

How despicable can he be? He doesn't care about his wife's well being huh? I shake my head. "Follow me." The hunter from before pulled the king away from me. I did as told and followed her to another room in the castle. "I'm sorry for what he did. That's the King for you. He always gets his hands on the maids or the guards as long as it's a she." I scoffed.

"That's sexual harassment." Armina voiced out. "Not to mention it hurt the queen every time he does that. I saw how she would look away." Reina added. The hunter chuckled. "What does a monster know about love? You killed innocent people for fun." That sting a little. "As you may know, hunter, we know about love way deeper than you mere humans."

Armina grabbed a hold of my wrist. "Once we found the one, there no way our heart will change for someone else. Even when death came upon us, the love will be as strong as steel." I ended my rant. The hunter chuckled lowly. "As far as I know, you probably killed someone's mate when you hunt for creatures like us," Armina added. "I apologise for my rudeness. Now, this will be your new uniform." She showed me such atrocious clothing I ever saw.

"What the hell is that?" I asked rather rudely. "This is the official chamberlain uniform in this castle." She shoved it on me. I looked at the black dress and white pinafore with ruffles around the shoulders. "This is the cap." She handed me a white frilly cap. "There's no way I'll be wearing this." The hunter smiled. "You have no choice. There are rules to follow and your first rule to wear this maid outfit. Understand?"

I grabbed the cap forcefully and stomped my feet to a screen to change. I can't believe I'm being this low just to get by! "Do you need help, my lady?" Armina voiced out her concern. I walked out of the screen wearing the ugliest uniform ever made in the history of mankind. "You look so cute my lady." Reina's eyes widen. I glared at her. Armina chuckled and helped me placed the cap on my head.

"Like a true maid." She said before took a step back to see me in this uniform. "Well, I guess you need alter this chest area to make it more comfortable." Armina looks like she's having so much fun playing dress up. "Reina, Eris, your turn." Reina carried Eris to the screen and I sat down n the chair. I noticed a pair of eyes staring at me. "Look away hunter." She finally let out her laughter and just bends down, holding her stomach.

"You ..... hahaha.... look .... hahaha..... terrible!" It's nice of her to finally be bold of herself like that. "I'm .... hahaha .... sorry." When Eris and Reina walked out, the hunter looked up and gave them a thumbs up. "Now that's a looker." At least she could be more reserved in her honesty! I didn't even notice that Armina went to the screen and change until she came out wearing a tight uniform mainly on her chest area.

"Anyway, here's a couple of rules when you're working inside the Gavreau's castle. First, don't be afraid to ask questions. A lost maid will be a lost cause. We learned that in a hard way. May her soul rest in peace." Somebody had died working here? "Moving on, rule number two, never, ever goes up the west wing of this castle. That's the Queen's sanctuary, no one is allowed. Not even her own husband and kids do as well. It's so secretive that she wants a few guards guarding them as well."

Now I'm wondering about the west wing. Maybe I should snoop around later on.

"Rule number three, since most of your work will be taking care of the crown prince and princess, you'll be brief by the royal nanny. The nanny's job to teach them. Your job takes care of their needs and protects when they went on to the city." So I have to take care of brats? How inconvenient. "Last but not least, rule number four, whatever the queen says, goes. Because around here, it's the queen that command us all. The king is useless."

The hunter smiled and lead us to another room. "This is the servants break room. You may come here anytime. We have food, drinks, music. Just enough for us servant to catch a break. But, no human sacrifice." She whispered the last part. What does she think I am?

A blood-sucking vampire?

***

"Prince Gaultier, we have come with your new servant." I was baffled to see how this hunter being so polite to a kid. "Bow down." She said through gritted teeth. Now I have to bow for a child?! Armina pushed my head down and we all bow. "I'm sorry for her rudeness, my prince." Armina apologised for me. "That's okay, rise." I scoffed. You're just a kid you brat!

"Brother.. you promised." This must be the princess when she suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Once again Armina forced me to bow down. I clicked my tongue in annoyance. When I stood up straight again, this little girl stared at me for a couple of minutes before went to her brother's side and whispered in his ear. "My prince, is there something wrong?" The Hunter question. The boy shakes his head.

"If so, I'll be going my own way. There's something I have to do. They will be in your care." The hunter bows and excuse herself, leaving us with these brats. As for the four of us, we have no idea what to do. We don't even have a proper training for this. "Can you introduce yourself for us?" The boy said. "I am Armina. This is Helvisa. That's Eris and she's Reina. We hope to be in such help for you, my prince."

This girl seems to be fond of me as she keeps on staring at me. "Helvisa, what's that on your chest?" I looked down on to my breast. I motioned my chest but she shakes her head. "This." She pointed at my battle scar. "You can say it's a symbol," I said, keeping my stoic expression. "Symbol?" I nodded at this girl curiosity. "Are you a soldier by chance?" Now the boy joining in his sister's curiosity as well.

I glanced at Armina. "Ummm your highnesses, can you please give us some chores to do? We're bored standing like this." Finally, these brats turned their focus on Armina. "Well, do you girls dance?" Armina looked at Eris and Reina. "Well, Reina know how to. Why is that my prince?" The boy stood up and offered his hand to Reina. "Elaria will have her recital in few weeks. Her class choose ballroom dancing. Maybe with us dancing, she will learn something."

Armina pointed at the girl with her eyes. I shrugged my shoulder. The witch glared at me with her blazing eyes. I sighed and offer a hand to the princess. "I'm good in dancing if you want to practice." The girl smiles as wide as ever and took my hand. I was surprised when this little girl can actually dance. I wonder if her mother knows how to dance as well. I smirked.

"Oh ...." I heard a voice coming from the door. "I'm sorry. I thought they're not practising." We all turned to the door and was baffled by this sudden surprise. "Mother." The boy beamed. So .... this is the queen up close huh, two words, not bad. From the smell of her blood, she must be in her early 30's. She's beautiful, perfect figure. She doesn't even look like she pushed two babies out of her.

Why does the king being that repulsive? He has the best wife anyone could've wished for! Armina cleared her throat when she caught me staring at the queen. "Your Highness." Armina bows down and so does the other except for me. "We are humbly grateful to be in your presence." I was looking at the queen from head to toe. She's like a normal citizen.

"I was hoping to see you all here. I want to apologise, especially to you." She looked at me. "What the king did earlier, that's unacceptable." I waved it off. "Did Charlene showed you your quarters in the castle?" Charlene? She must be referring to the hunter. So her name is Charlene huh. "I'm afraid not. She was in a rush." The queen smile and at the same time, I felt my heart suddenly beating again.

I touched my right eye as it felt stinging. Armina noticed this sudden changes in me. I can't believe the spell Armina cast on my face is wearing off at this moment! The prince stared at me with the same curiosity eyes. "Mother, can we go to the library again? I need to find something. Elaria, come with us. I'll show you a book that will teach us about dancing."

Gisele was surprised by the request but she obliged. "I don't know who or what you guys are but I think I have a clue." The prince whispered and showed Armina the book he was holding. "I'll keep your secret." The prince smiled and grabbed his mother's hand. "What was that all about Gaultier?" The queen asked. "Oh, nothing mother. I just want them to tidy up my room as my friends will be coming this afternoon."

Armina was speechless and froze on her feet. She slowly turned to me, asking for some answers. By now I'm sure my face is in its horrible state. I always hate this side of mine. I traced the deep scar from my eyebrows across my eyes and it continued towards my lips, connected to the scar on my chest. This scar was the result of the fight I had with my father before he banished me.

I sighed. "Can you fix this, Armina?" I asked the witch. "I think so. I just have to get myself into the deep forest and find some herbs." I caught Eris's body before she falls on the floor. "She's weakened huh. Reina, use that bathroom. Just do whatever you guys do." Reina nodded and carried Eris to the bathroom.

"What should we do Helvisa? That little boy knew the first glance he looks at us." I shrugged. "He said he can keep a secret right? He's the prince. We should just listen to him." Armina seems worried about something.

Whatever it is, I hope he's not going to use us as THAT person does.

ARMINA'S POV

"Hmmmmm...." the prince and princess stared at all four of us with curiosity. I can't believe we've been outsmarted by a 13 and 9 year old. I am ashamed of myself for letting the lady gone through this again. We shouldn't have been gone to this castle on the first place. Ugh! I need to do something before it's too late.

"Armina.... are you a witch by any chance?" How can he see through me! I didn't say anything. "I take that as a yes." He smiled. No! That's not my intention at all! Ugh! The princess then turned to Eris. "From this smell, you must be a werewolf. Your eyes are yellow as well." I face palming myself. I forgot that whenever Eris had sex, her eyes will stayed like that for a few days.

"I don't know about you two though. But ...." the prince turned to Helvisa. "I may have a hint about you. Your stoic expression, only speak when you were ask, limited use of your energy and you feel pain every time you tried to show your feelings, you're a demon." How can he know that! I blame those books he read. "Yes, I am a demon. Armina is a witch, Eris is a werewolf, and Reina, she's a siren. What will you do to us? Hang us? Burn us? Do it. I can assure you, we will not die nor scared of humans."

We're done for. Helvisa will not tolerated anything when it comes to our safety. I hope she doesn't scare those kids too much but to my surprise, they stared at Helvisa. "You don't scare us. We've met someone far more scary that you." The princess informed us. "Yea, our mother can be quite a monster herself when it comes to our father." The royal siblings chuckled.

"What is up with that king?" Reina was being her comfortable self again. I glared at her for such casual conversation. These two may be young but they're our employer! "Don't be mad at her Armina. We don't mind. I mean, we have no true friends. All we have is the people who work for our family. Those 'friends' that came earlier this afternoon was just someone from school."

"Wait you went to school? What about the nanny?" I asked. The Prince smiled. "Nanny Venus only teach us about etiquettes. Also, about our father, it happened after Elaria was born. I heard mother and father fought a lot behind their chamber's door. At first I blame my mother for neglecting him but, after what I saw in their chamber, it was my father who's to blame for everything."

He's quite a strong young man. To be able to be this compose about his parents, he's quite mature for his age. "We don't blame our mother because she's the only parent we have that care about us. Sometime I wish for her to find her own happiness rather than thinking about us. She's hurting herself." What a strong young girl.

"Why not tell her you want him out. You don't have to see her hurting herself again if you told her. She's the queen, she can do anything. Your father is useless for this kingdom. He didn't even do anything to rule it properly." I wish I could covered Helvisa's mouth with a lot of tape. She's being too emotional about this. "But ...." the prince didn't get to finish his thought when Helvisa shut him up.

"Trust me. If you be true to your mother, you will see her smile like she used to." Helvisa patted the prince's head like a parent does. What in the world possessed this demon girl?! I turned around to face Reina and Eris who's eyes were sparkling with admiration. "Hey!" They both pout at me. "Eris, your arm." I heard the prince and princess running footstep and they literally stood in front of Eris.

"You even have the claws. Can I touch them?" Eris nodded. Slowly the prince poke Eris's arm. When he found his courage, he grabbed her wrist and just admired her well being. "Hey Helvisa, do you have horns? Like in the illustration, demons have horns and goat feet." Helvisa shake her head. "My father ..... he came from a pure breed demon. But my mother, she's not related to any demon bloodline."

"Oh, what is she? A witch? A werewolf? Oh wait, a vampire? Does a vampire exist?" Helvisa turned to me for help. "Yes. Vampire does exist. The famous one known as the Akeldama royal family. They rule the realm where most creatures like us four came from. Helvisa's mother, she's not from that realm. She's from way different realm. A realm where dying souls come for their judgement."

"You mean Valhalla?" Okay seriously, this kids know way too much. Who has been writing about our existence?! "Yes. You know about Valhalla?" The prince nodded. "If your mother came from Valhalla, that's mean she's a ...." the prince gasped. "A Valkyrie warrior?!" Helvisa nodded. "How is it you know so much?" The prince went to his study table and showed us a couple of books.

"Our late grandfather, he's one of those people who think that legends and myths are true. You'll be surprise by how much books relating to your realm in our mother's private library." Hmmm, their late grandfather huh. I wonder who he is. For someone to wrote this, they must have been seen the realm itself. Helvisa suddenly turned her head to the windows and opened them.

I heard a faint sound of ..... bells? No. Not bells... sirens. Warning sirens. "What's wrong?" The prince and the princess wondered. "Eris.." Eris nodded and used her sensitive nose to determine the situation. "Pirates? No.. not pirates.. not from the sea.." she took a deep sniff and when she opened her eyes, she smiled. "Smugglers. Charlene caught them."

"Whoa! You can know that just by sniffing?" Eris shake her head. "Reina can see everything with her eyes, see." The royal siblings stared at Reina's all white eyes. "Does that mean you can even see through walls?" Reina nodded. "Where's my father right now?" The princess asked. Reina did as told but refrain herself from telling the truth.

Eris patted my shoulder. "Their father is with a maid." Eris informed me. Poor kids. I wish we could do something about it.

***

"Why do we have to follow these brats?" Helvisa hate the idea of escorting the royal siblings to town. "Because the queen asked us to. Don't be mean Helvisa. They're just kids." Helvisa clicked her tongue and looked away from me. She also hate it when I'm always right. I smiled at her and patted her thigh. "Where are we going exactly?" Eris asked. "King Armand's family house. The prince and princess wanted to see their grandparents."

"Why the queen and king stay behind?" I shrugged. But, the queen told me that the king is busy ..... staining their bed with other women's sweat. I know that Helvisa beginning to feel protective for the kids. She probably didn't know that I saw her warning the siblings about playing alone in the royal courtyard earlier. "So ... that's the king's official home?" I was surprised myself when Helvisa pointed at a normal looking house.

"Well, he's not royalty. So that's understandable." When the car fully stop moving, I was the first to walked out and went to the car where the prince and princess in. "Thank you Armina." I smiled at how polite this little princess can be. "Umm.. why ..." her question trailed off. She pointed at the car I was in and my eyes cant believe what it saw.

"Helvisa..." I shake my head at her antics. The prince laughed when he walked out of the car. "Helvisa." He called her using her hands. "Don't detest dogs like that. Dog's are cute." Helvisa tried to chase the dog away using her foot. "It's disgusting." Suddenly we heard Eris whimpered. "See.. you make Eris sad." The prince went to Eris and patted her head.

"There there Eris. Don't be sad." The prince consult her and dragged Eris and Reina to the house. "They both awfully close to him." What can she expect being their servant? "Are you jealous?" I joked. "No. But .... the guards. They seems to be weirded out by how close they are." She's right. It's just a few days since we work for them. The prince asked us to get inside.

"Don't worry, I'll do the chores. All you have to do is sit there and play with them." Once again I heard her famous tongue clicking in annoyance. "Try to be nice okay?" Helvisa waved me off and went inside rudely. I apologised a lot for her behaviour nowadays. The visiting went well but when it's time for us to go, it seems that their grandparents having some hard time releasing them.

I looked at the time and wonder if we could stay a bit longer but the guards shake his head, telling me it's time. Helvisa smiled and walked outside. "Why is she being distance?" Prince Gaultier questioned. "She hates being with everyone? She hate the cake? What's should we do brother?" The princess seems to have the wrong idea.

"She misses her mother. That's all. No need to worry, your highness." Once I make sure they both in the car, I gave the guards the green light to go.

On the way back, I can't help but to think about Helvisa's mother. "This ..... STOP THE CAR RIGHT NOW!" Helvisa suddenly screamed at the top of her lungs. "GET YOUR ASSES TO THEIR CAR RIGHT NOW!" Seeing how worried Helvisa was, Eris didn't even back down from transforming to her wolf.

"CHASE THE ATTACKER DOWN!" Helvisa screamed as Eris growled. When I walk out, the guards that suppose to make sure the prince and princess stay safe laid dead on the ground. "Shit." Reina and I ran to the car and was relief when both the siblings were fine but the princess were crying as the prince consult her. "It's going to be okay. I promise you that. Are you two hurt?"

I offered my hand and asked them both to close their eyes as we walk out of the car. "Are they okay?" Helvisa asked. But before I could answer her, she ran in towards me and deflect a ..... is that a bullet?! "REINA!" Reina ran towards me and covered my back as I picked both the prince and princess. "What should we do?" I asked. Helvisa casually caught anfull speed bullet from hitting the prince and princess.

"Well, for now, we have to be smart." Helvisa replied and threw the bullet back to where it came from. "Mother." I heard the princess whispered. "I want to see mommy." She started crying on my chest. "This is not the time Elaria!" The prince decided to be strong but he looks like he's about to cry as well. "Oh don't cry little one. We will make sure you two meet your mother again." I assured them. "ERIS! COME BACK TO ME!" Helvisa screamed.

"You there, hiding behind those trees and bushes. Don't be stupid. Come out here and dance with me." Helvisa challenged the attacker. Eris ran back to us, naked. She should've just stay as her wolf. "I'll count to 10." But before Helvisa even start to count, a couple of guys in black appeared from the trees and bushes, surrounding us. "Who are you? No human can stop a bullet." He asked as he aimed what I believe is a machine gun.

"That's just stupid. No human can transform themselves to a wolf." Another man voiced out. "Ugh! Just shut up and finish the job. All we have to do is to kill the royal kids right?" They must be real stupid if they thought they could continue their mission. "Armina, be a doll and buried their head on your neck. This is going a little bit messy."

"It can't be help. Listen to me, I want you two to close your eyes and ignore everything that you hear, okay?" I felt their body began to relax as they heard my voice. Good, the spell work. "Now Helvisa." By now, the only thing those man can do is to pray that Helvisa go easy on them.

***

"Can you drive?" Helvisa pointed at the car as she stepped on the corpses. "What in the world?!" I remembered that voice. It's Charlene. "The prince?! Princess?!" She sighed in relief when she saw the royal siblings sleeping on my chest. "What happened?" She asked. "Those guys in black suit killed the guards. They were just about to take the prince and princess but Eris turned to her wolf and chase them down. You need to clean up three more corpses 10 kilometres to the south."

"I never dreamt of saying this but, thank you. There a car waiting, its best to say that they will be safe in your care. I have to clean up this mess." Helvisa was the first to go inside the car but I noticed something is off when she walk. Reina helped me in and I take a glance to Helvisa as she's holding her thigh. "Did you get hurt?" I asked. "Yea." Was all she said. I nodded at Reina.

She lifted her skirt a little and I looked away from seeing such gushed. Herbs will not be enough for that. She need something strong, something that could heal it. "I know what you're thinking. I don't need sex." She said that but .... "I'm serious Armina. I dont need it." The car stop and Helvisa walked out. I smiled when the queen literally ran towards her kids and thanked us for saving them. "You all shall be rewarded." Was all she said before walking back to the castle with them in her arms.

I excuse myself and went to our room. Because the maids have to share a room, I decided to be with Helvisa, like always. "Helvisa?" She changed from her uniform already? I pick it all up and placed it in the laundry basket. "Helvisa, where are you?" She walked out from the bathroom in only her bra and boxer. "What?" My eyes were on her injured thigh. "Hey don't look at my bulge like that." She joked.

"Shut up. Sit down." I forced her to sit down and just pulled her boxer down. For someone who don't want to have sex, she does sure have a boner. I began to rubbed her shaft like always. "Don't ...." she tried to stop me. "Do you want me to use the flame for that injury?" I warned her. Her eyes widen. She hates the flames. But if she don't want the sex, the flames can do wonders.

Pleasing her shaft like this would never get us no where. "It can't be help." I stood up. "What are you doing?" I smiled. "I'm trying to heal you silly." I started to strip and let the uniform down on the floor. I took a step forward and proceed to pulled my underwear next. I placed my hands on her shoulder as leverage and sat on her lap, facing her. "Oops. Almost forgot." I winked and unhooked my bra in front of her.

"Lets get this over with." She said, keeping her face expressionless like always. "You know it helps if you showed me some expression." I guided her shaft under me and sat on her shaft. "Ahhhhhhhh...." I moaned. "Does it hurt?" I shake my head. I move my hips and watched her ... I'm not sure if she's enjoying it or .... "Ahhhh.." yup she just moaned. She loves it. "Just let it .... go and feel the pleasure. Ahhhh.." I felt her hands on my waist.

"You asked for it." She smirked and carried me to the bed while she's still inside me. "Oh wow... I need to wash the sheet too?" She smiled as she thrust inside me. "Heal me..." she commanded. I wrapped my hands around her neck and pulled her down. "Fuck me hard Helvisa. You know I like it." She buried her face on my breast while thrusting her throbbing shaft inside my wet core.

"Don't hold back, Helvisa... release it... release it all." Her tongue play with my harden nipples. I nearly lost my mind when she decided to suck it hard while pumping her big magnum inside me. I heard the door were being open but nothing can stop her when she's in the mood. When her hands grabbed my lower back, I know she's close as she lifted me up. She slammed my body on her shaft and grabbed my butt.

"Oh wow." Is that ...... I lost my train of thought when I felt something hot filling up inside me. "Ahhhhhh...." did I just cum? Damn in Helvisa... my body just react without I'm noticing it. "You're done? Already?" Helvisa grunt and just collapse on me with her shaft still twitching inside me. "Wow... just wow...." Reina and Eris were staring at us. "Can one of you get the first aid kit." Reina nodded and did as told. I slowly turned her around and just looked at myself and my .... oh geez. How much can she released in me?

"Now that's a stain." Eris chuckled. "Get a towel for me. Honestly Eris, grow up." Eris giggled. "Here. First aid kit." After I clean myself up, I examined her injury. "Most of the blood is gone. It's healing pretty well. But, it's best to be prepare." Reina helped me with bandaging Helvisa's thigh. "The queen asked for us to see her." Reina informed.

"But .... she's asleep. We could go. She can stay. I'll explain to her." I tucked Helvisa on the bed and went to put on my uniform again. After I feel satisfy she's okay, I close the door and went to see the queen. "What if she fire us?" Reina expressed her thought. "I don't think so. She did say she's going to reward us." Charlene stopped us from proceeding.

"Whatever happen in there, control yourself. Okay?" I nodded. She sighed and open the door for us. "Oh yes!!! This is the first time you actually gain my attention Gisele. They going to be my companion tonight?" How awful can the king be to his own wife? The queen cleared her throat as we kneel in front of them. "Your highnesses."

"Rise. Don't be so lowly in front of us. You did just save our children. But where's your other friend?" I bow. "I'm afraid she's not healthy enough to present herself, your highness." I noticed the king's eyes were on Reina's rack all the time. He even lick his lips before winking at Reina. Being her old self, Reina winked back.

"Well, we're here to present your reward." The queen motioned for her advisors to gave us each a sack. "A few gold but we know what you did worth more than that." From the weight of this, it seems more than enough. "Also ...." the queen stood up and walked down from her throne to face me. "Why such strong being like yourself doing in a human world? Gaultier told me. Well, more like he mumbled in his sleep." She smiled.

My eyes widen. Oh no .... the queen .... knows....
