When I reach the hall, I see a beautiful red-haired woman standing looking bored. "Um, Hi Prince Cain asked me to escort you to his room" I say. The lady nods and walks behind me as I lead the way. "You're new" she says. "I am" I tell her, I wasn't sure this needed to turn into a conversation.

When we reach the door I knock "Enter" his deep voice booms. "Prince Cain, here.

.." I realize I didn't know who she was.

"Lady..." she is cut off by Cain. "They sent a red-head again ,my least favorite.

" They lady and I look at each other shocked.

Cain comes closer and sniffs her, "you do smell sweet" he says grabbing her by the chin. He glances at me as he does.

"I'm just gonna leave you two" I say backing away. "Be back here in an hour" he says never breaking eye contact with me. As I close the door I hear a loud scream, I resist the urge to run back in.

I instead run to the kitchen where I find Alara waiting for me to eat. "Who did you have to take to the prince" she asks. I see the other servants look in our direction, Alara picks up our plates and starts walking.

We end up in the garden, it was a beautiful day so I wasn't complaining. "A woman" I finally answer her question. "To feed or to bed?" she casually asks.

"I'm sorry what?" I nearly choke on my bread. Alara looks at me and laughs before repeating her question. "I'm not sure, I heard a scream before I left" I say looking away from her. "Do hue-mans not bed each other?" she asks.

"We do" I shrug. "Why does it make you uncomfortable to talk about then?" she teases. "I'm not uncomfortable, I just don't want to imagine him doing that" I say looking down. "Do you think he would be good at it?" Alara presses.

"Alara!" I smack her arm and look around. Making her giggle "We shouldn't talk about this" I say making her giggle more. "I will stop for today" she winks at me.

Were elves sex fiends or something? My hour was almost up, I had to run a little through the long corridor to get back in time. When I reached Cain's door, I heard him say "Enter" before I even knocked.

I peeked into the room; Cain was at the workstation writing something down while the lady from earlier was laying in his bed naked. As I looked around the room, I noticed her dress was ripped and the bed was kind of broken.

Realization hits me as Cain finally looks in my direction. "Take her to Bower and tell him no more red-heads" with that he looks away from me and continues what he was doing.

I walk up to the lady and gently shake her. "Miss, you have to get up, it's time to go". She makes a reluctant noise before standing up. She didn't even try to cover herself; she walks over to Cain and kisses his cheek which he completely ignores.

"Your excellence" she coos as she grabs his shirt and covers herself. We walk to Bower's office in silence, she kind of looked how I did when I was high. I missed getting high, wait no that's the reason I am here I scold myself.

I knock on Bower's door, opening it a little. I didn't see him until he dropped from the ceiling. "Still no manners" he spits. "Prince Cain says I should leave her with you and that he doesn't want any more red-heads" i ignore his comment.
