Royal slave: chapter 10
Eleon's POV
I sighed and wiped the sweat from my forehead. I was glad i was once again done cleaning the floor of the hallway. It was a pretty long hallway, but i didn't mind cleaning it for my mistress. She was a very nice woman after all. My mistress was an elderly woman we had lost her husband due to a disease a few years ago. So she needed the extra help with the house cleaning and found me slave house. I was glad she bought me. If she hasn't, then who knows what migth've happened to me or where i could've ended up in.
I panted from the hard work and dropped the rag in a bucket full of water that was now really dirty. I decided to fetch some clean water and continue in the next hallway. I grabbed the bucket and before i could do something else someone yelled at me. "eleon what're you doing? for godsake take a break, young woman." My mistress came yelling. She had a tendency to yell when someone was dissobeying her. "i'm sorry, but-" I started, but i got cut off. "but nothing! you're pregnant, you need rest!" She said and took the bucket from my hands and put it on the floor against a wall and pulled me gently out of the room. I followed her and soon arrived at my bedroom.
"come on! get some rest! that's an order!" The mistress said and kept the door open for me. I giggled and walked to me bed. "ma'am? have you seen my husband?" I asked and sat down on my bed. "i think that i have send him to take care of the gardin. i'll get a maid to fetch him for you. i would do it myself, but i need to watch over the preparations of dinner." My mistress said smilling and waved while she walked out. I waved aswell and laid down on my bed. I sighed in exhaustion. Working as a slave with a belly wasn't easy at all. It was the opposite, almost impossible.
I heard the door open and saw my husband walk in. I smiled and sat up. "eleon, please stay down. i don't want you to strain yourself." He said. "don't worry, edward. i'm fine." I said and smiled at his concern. "if you're sure." He said insecurely and laid down besides me. "what gender do you think it is? a boy or a girl?" Edward asked. "how should i know?" I asked. "well you're the one who's pregnant, i thought that you might have you're thoughts about what it could be." He said and nuzzled gently against my tummy. I giggled upon the touch and laid a hand on my belly. "i think that it's a boy." I said and stroked my belly.
A month had passed. I was in my nineth and last month now. My mistress ordered me to rest, but i would still sneak out of my room to get some things done for her. That was the least I could do for her after all she has done for me. Everyone thought that way. To us she was a guardian angel. She would always help us when we were in need and if someone was sick or injured she would make sure that we got the best help. She wasn't only our owner, but she was also our friend. And that's what we liked so very much about her. She didn't see us as property, but as living beings. And that was more any other owner could ever do.
I sat down at a chair and awaited dinner to be served. Our mistress allowed us to join at her table during the meals. She liked having company. And she didn't have any relatives after her husband passed away. So we were her only company. We were all enjoying our dinner untill i felt something. "honey, what's wrong?" Edward, who was sitting next to me, asked in concern. I groaned and hunched over. "eleon?" The mistress called. "oh god! i think that baby is coming!" I yelled and felt my water break soon after.
