Description
tried to comfort the shaken woman but she turned cold and refused comfort.“Fine be that way, I'm just trying to be nice damn.” I snapped as I grabbed the eyeliner sat down in front of a mirror and started my makeup.
10 minutes later I was finished. I had simple black eyeliner and simple golden lid and a gentle crimson lip stick
I looked at the slave, she sighed and looked at the clock.
“You have time to spare, would you like to fetch Your husband?” I visibly gagged at the word.
“God that is disgusting to even think about, please never call him that in front of me again.” I shuddered and grabbed a book off his shelf.
I sat down on a chair by his bed, I heard the slave gasp.
I looked up at her,
“What's wrong? Never seen a woman read before?”
“Those are Lord Vulpes Inculta’s books!” She gasped in horror before leaving out the tent. I shrugged and carried on reading the book which was about a man called himself the creator of time and was looking for 2 people one who wanted to turn back time and the other who wanted more time.
I was about 40 pages in when the tent door opened.
I didn't even look up to see who it was.
“Yes I touched your books, if you're going to beat me at least let me finish this book before you crush my skull in with it.” I said casually.
“You should've asked Lepus!” He huffed and threw something heavy onto the bed.
I glanced over the top of my book to see what he was doing after I heard some rustling and much to my surprise he was only in his briefs.
I quickly covered my face back up with the book, it was almost painful not to peek, giving into temptation, I quickly once again glanced over the edge of my book. I blushed at his muscled torso and sculpted arms and legs.
Scars covered almost every inch of his body, thick raised scars made a lattice pattern on his back the pattern even continued under the edge of his briefs.
I went back to reading until he was finished getting dressed.
“Lepus.” I didn’t respond,
“Lepus?” Still no response.
“Lepus Ignis!” I raised my eyebrows but did not respond, so he ripped the book out of my hands and grabbed my jaw.
“When I call your name you will respond do you understand Lepus?” I yanked my jaw away from him and huffed.
“I have name you know and it’s Belle not Lepus!” I retorted glaring at him, he raised his hand to me, I refused to flinch or back down.
the force of his palm connecting with my face sent me flying into the wall of the tent 3 ft behind me.
I sat there stunned, my cheek stung so much it was numb, my eyes watered not some much from pain but from sting and shock of the assault.
I put my hand on where he had smacked me, heat irradiated from the mark. I looked up at him he sighed and left the tent.
I saw still recovering from shock when he cam back and knealt beside me.
“This will help take the edge off the sting.” He muttered handing me a cold washcloth.
I gave him a small nod of thanks before taking the object and pressing it to my now bruised cheek, I watched him get up and disappear from the tent.
I hissed as the cold water connected with the tender and sore flesh of my cheek. But quickly the pain subsided and prompt relief took its place.
After 10 minutes of having the cold cloth on, I removed it and set it on the desk and hulled myself off the ground. I dusted myself off and pressed the cloth back into my face as I sat down on Inculta's bed.
Minutes later Vulpes returned and handed me a little baggie.
“It's healing powder.” He said taking the cloth and again disappearing. I said and went to the mirror and brushed on some of the healing powder.
This time when Vulpes returned, he was empty handed with the exception of a small necklace with a wooden fox on it.
He tossed it to me, and instructed me to put it on. Not wanting to cause a fight or receive another harsh blow to the face, I quickly put it on.
“It's time to go.” Was all he said, I wanted for him to take my elbow and lead me but instead he let walk behind him.
“What was going on?” I wondered to myself, my pondering was soon interrupted by Inculta suddenly stopping.
I slammed right into his backside, he swiftly turned around, his Ice blue eyes were now a deeper shade of smoldering blue.
“Before we go in, there are a few things for you to know:
Do Not speak unless spoken to
Do Not speak out of turn or talk back
Lanius has brought his wives and do note that he treats them much differently than I do you even if you are not my wife...yet
Stay at my side at all times and keep your head down
Refer to me as your Domine, do not call me by my name and lastly show respect.
For both of our sakes, just accept your place while we’re here.Do not make a fool of me.” He said his hand gently resting on my shoulder, I nodded at him.
Inside the tent there were many people mostly men, that I did not recognize.
Many of them greatest Inculta with a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
The women stayed pressed up against a wall with their heads down.
We had been the last to to arrive but the first to be seated besides Caesar of course.
visible looks of shock and even disgust and amusement filled the faces of the visitors as Vulpes gestured to the chair beside him. I bowed my head and gracefully sat beside him.
As we all gathered around the dinner table and sat down, I had noticed that the women kneeled behind their husbands.
I was the only woman sitting in a chair,
“Inculta was not kidding about that whole treatment thing, now was he?” I thought to myself.
As food came out and was served, Caesar spoke.
“As you all may noticed, we have a new member of the Legion. Inculta will you do the honors of introducing her?”
Inculta grabbed my arm and drug me up with him to standing.
“This is my newest female, her name is Lepus Ignis also known as Sentinel Lotus Belle of the Brotherhood of Steel.” Silence filled the room as all eyes locked on me, the slowly whispers came out.
“You captured a Sentinel? I DO NOT BELIEVE SUCH A TALE! No member of the brotherhood who is of any value would allow them selves to be captured.” Huffed a great beast of a man.
Inculta reached into my shirt and and yanked my holotags off my neck and tossed them to the man.
“Tell me Frumentarius Lanius do you believe me now?” I tried to hide my look of horror the great brute of a man crush the tags in his palm.
Suddenly the man launched the tags at me, instinctively I caught them. And slid them back on.
“What he says is true, tell me Brotherhood whore, how is the Brotherhood fairing?”
Inculta squeezed my arm in reassurance.
“We are-we are doing better than expected. We have recently liberated the Commonwealth, Chicago and now working on-on uh Texas.” I Stood as straight as I could and folded my hands in front of me.
“Sounds quite ambitious, tell me dissolute who is leading the brotherhood now?”
“That would be High Elder Maxson for the entire brotherhood. The chapter out here is lead by Elder Nolan McNamara, if able to I will be taking over for him as I am the closets to the rank of Elder for this region.”
“Interesting, tell us what used would the brotherhood be to Lord Caesar?”
“We have the most advanced Training, technology and weapons available. We are heavy in the amount of troops available and we have many allies. We can secure resources and materials in a record time.”
This time Caesar spoke,
“ you may sit but if the brotherhood has such far advanced training and weapons, what happened at Helios One?” I took a sip of water.
“We were outnumbered and outgunned.This Chapter was under poor leadership at the time. A man known as Elijah who was obsessed with a piece of technology located in Helios one, had become delusional and unstable when the NCR did their assault on Helios one. Luckily Nolan McNamara who was a Paladin at the time go the survivors out and into our current location after putting a secure safelok on the piece of technology that Elijah was after.”
“And what this Technology that this man so sought after?”
I nibbled on my veal steak, and took a sip of water.
“Something called ARCHIMEDES. I'm guessing a weapons program.”
Caesar chewed what was in his mouth and took a sip of wine before talking.
“A weapons program? Do you think that the NCR is aware that it’s there?”
“I doubt otherwise they would've already activated it.”
“So if we seize Helios one or covertly activate the weapon system we could win this battle?”
“ I assume so, I have no idea how large this program is or what it is, but if you make an Alliance with the Brotherhood I'm sure you could work something out. The brotherhood also had allies such as the Boomer as we're both like minded groups.”
Beneath the table Inculta's leg nudged mine.
“If what you say is true, I will arrange a treaty with the brotherhood but only if certain terms are met but that will be for later because of now we will enjoy our meal and talk of other things such as Cabbages and Kings.”
