Lucy Reborn Chapter 49

"May I get up now?" Lucy asks . "No, Little Mistress . Physician Liu prescribed a week of bed rest so your body may recover" Selena answers .  "May I have a jar of linseed oil?" Lucy asks . "Ah, does Little Mistress want to start hair treatments?" Selena asks, handing Lucy a bowl of chicken soup . Lucy dips her spoon in it, and sighs . Are you trying to fatten me up for slaughter, or what? I wonder if the old woman in her gingerbread house will shove me into her oven .

"Do you have the patience to sit for hair treatments?" Selena asks, wrinkling her forehead . Lucy almost chokes on her spoon, a bit of broth escaping her lips . "Wha . . . " Lucy says . Whom you take me for? I can sit through Titanic without twitching, of course, some beauty treatments won't be able to break me . "May I just have the oil?" Lucy says, instead of blurting out her thoughts . I might have the patience; it's a waste of my time .

"If you desire," Selena says, a beat later . Aw! Your puzzled look is so cute! Times like this reminded Lucy that Selena was only 14 years old . An age of love, tests, and crushes . "Selena, will you marry?" Lucy asks . Selena never considered boys or marriage, but her age was near that age for this realm . Will her happiness be buried because of me? "Ah, of course . As your bondmaid, it's my duty to bear heirs so your children have their own soul-bound maids, and valets . " Selena answers . "Whom will you marry?" Lucy asks . Does she have a betrothal?

Selena tucks her hands into her sleeves . "It's custom for a Mistress to choose who I will lay with upon your bridal night," Selena says . Lucy tilts her head . "Lay with?" Lucy asks mischievously . Selena coughs, red tinting her cheeks beneath her veil . "Yes, Little Mistress . I will follow your arrangements when you choose to have me bred, or choose a husband for me" Selena answers .

Lucy feels Selena's emotions slip through the bond .  Nervousness, anticipation, hope, and a hint of longing . Lucy shakes her head . Woah, what heavy mix! Seems, she feels strongly about her marriage . "What type of man would you like to marry?" Lucy asks, then pauses a delicate frown forming . "What does breeding mean?" Lucy looks up at Selena . Surely not . . .

Selena's smile doesn't hint at her eagerness or nervousness . "If little mistress doesn't wish me to marry, it's your right to choose to send men to my bed until I fall pregnant," Selena explains . Not a hint of anger, fear, or disgust came from Selena . She felt only a hint of nervousness and disappointment at the thought .

That's . . . That's fucked up!

"No, I will choose a good husband for you" Lucy decides . This realm is so backward . Thankfully I was born as a young miss . Lucy shudders . Being unable to make even a simple choice would kill her . "Little Mistress, are you cold?" Selena asks . "I'll fetch a quilt," Selena says .

Lucy looks at her back, complex shadows in her eyes . Selena truly believes that it's only proper for me to be able to do that to her . She doesn't even feel uneasy . What if I turned out a spoiled, nasty brat? What if she went to a malicious, hateful child instead of me? How can Selena trust her fate to others so contently?

Lucy set her bowl aside, her throat tight . Such trust . Why does Selena trust me so?

"First Miss has arrived . Shall I bring her in, Third Miss?" A maid asks . First Sister? "Yes, bring her in," Lucy says, sliding off the day bed . I have to welcome her .  I wonder how she's been doing . Her ceremony is soon, right?

The air vibrates; Selena's mental scent surrounding her again . "Little Mistress, lie down!" Selena orders .  Lucy hesitates mid-step . "Be obedient!" Selena says, picking Lucy up and setting back on the bed . Selena covers her with the quilt and gives the maid a stern glance . "Third Miss is on bed rest . Go to the post, accept 15 lashes for your negligence . "

"Ah! Selena, I was the one who got up . It's not her fault" Lucy hurriedly says . Selena just pats her head . "Don't fuss, Little Mistress . It's the proper punishment for endangering your health" Selena says . But… But it's really not her fault, ah!

Lucy bites her lip, as the maid just bows . "Yes, Miss Selena," she says respectfully . I just can't get used to this .
