That night as usual autumn dressed with her work clothes and performed for Alois. She felt different, she felt observed in every move she made. Alois didn't take his eyes off her at all, that made Autumn very happy. Claude gaze was different, he also didn't miss a single move autumn did, however autumn didn't like those looks, as he appeared to be calculating, more than watching.

As weeks passed by Autumn was asked to accompany Alois every minute of his free time. When he was busy she practiced on the harp that had arrived. She also enjoyed being in the garden practicing her stunts. She particularly enjoyed watching the horses of the manor whenever she could.

Alois came back from London that night, he asked Autumn to join him for dinner. Autumn was still not used to be observed with that adoration eyes following her everywhere she went. But she didn't mind, not at all as for her she felt the same way. Adoration for her master.

" Autumn dear, please come to my room tonight" said Alois after dinner.

Autumn was cleaning the moon crest on her harp and began to practice in her room later that night. She had become a very good harp player.

She was trying to play a new song for her harp when she heard a noise, when she looked around she saw those beautiful blue eyes looking at her.

"I'm sorry Autumn, didn't mean to startle you" Said Alois with a smile " Don't stop, play for me, I find irresistible to see you play"

Autumn continued to play until she was finished with that song. Then Alois got close to her. He dragged softly Autumn to a small couch in her room. Then he sat next to her.

Autumn looked at him, She loved to see those eyes in the shadows. She loved that musky smell. She loved…everything about him.

Alois looked Autumn in the eyes too, for a moment time stopped for autumn as he leaned closer to her face and kissed Autumn softly. Again that warmness speeded across her chest like a disease.

She was opening to Alois warm affection.

Alois continued to kiss her softly. His lips were sweet and warm, his breath was accelerated and Autumn embraced it.

She was out of breath when the door of the room swung open and Autumn could hear someone clearing his throat. She didn't glance, she knew who it was.

"What do you want Claude" Asked Alois clearly upset

"Your highness, I have prepared your bathe"

"Okay, you may go" Said Alois as he sighed " Autumn you will come to my room later tonight, wont you?"

Autumn nodded.

Claude looked at Autumn with very obvious hate on his eyes. Autumn wondered if she had done something bad. "Probably he doesn't like me close to Master, as I am only his entertainer" she though, then she wondered if it was really Ok for her to allow her master to do that. She wondered if he considers that entertainment too, or if it have another meaning for her master.

Then it hit her, her heart skipped a beat as she realized.

"I am in love with my Master"
