Chapter 19: An Interesting Situation
Marco was amazed at how gracefully the maid moved, the results were even more amazing. Seeing Gaia who was a treat earlier rolling on the floor in pain due to a simple pot of water was surreal. Being too lazy to understand the situation he decided to ignore Gaia. "So... what did Diya ask you to do? And where is she at the moment, I need a place to put that thing" He pointed at Gaia and fell silent waiting for an answer.
Marco just waited while Sonia stared at him. Feeling somewhat weird, he waved his hand in front of her face. She snapped out of her stupor, answering quickly, "Y-Yes, I was sent by Madam Diya to check up on Master." She looked away blushing "As master's bracelet alerted madam Diya, she assumed you were in danger and dispatched a squad to investigate and ensure your safety."
Marco simply nodded, "Can you tell me your name and why you aren't looking at me directly? And I that ugly?" Sonia looked at Marco in shock, glancing at his chiselled body and handsome face she was caught off guard. Seeing Marco's genuinely disappointed expression she was further shocked as he believed the nonsense he just stated. She decided to report this to Diya and Ema but she saw it as a win.
She could imagine what kind of things Marco's wives would do to 'reassure' him, having her mind enter the gutter she couldn't help but blush furiously. Seeing the maid falling into her own world again Marco walked towards her and turned her face towards his. "Can you talk now? You can leave after filling me in." Marco walked to his dining table and gestured to Sonia to sit. Sonia shyly inched towards the table and sat down.
She started "Firstly my name is Sonia, and I was sent to check up on you. As you know the artefact will only activate if anything harmful were to attack you from within." Marco nodded his head upon hearing this information. He particularly wasn't surprised as he was told something similar by Diya. "Just to clarify the artefact is to prevent Master from having another episode."
Hearing this Marco raised his eyebrow in confusion "Episode? What do you mean Sonia." As Marco asked the question Gaia leaned against the sofa, as it seemed like important information on her enslaver was going to be revealed she tried to commit everything to memory. Sonia was going to begin explaining but she just remembered the woman's presence. Pointing at her she asked if Marco was fine if the woman heard it.
Marco just shrugged and said, "Well she is my eternal slave, I hope I don't have to do anything drastic if information leaks." Marco just smiled at Gaia, his smile was innocent but his eyes promised a lot of pain if Gaia tried anything funny. Seeing their dynamic Sonia asked "Master who is this woman, perhaps a one-night stand?"
This question just hit Marco hard, as a man of honour he would not do such things ok. Effectively he was still a virgin and would only lose that status with his wives, he just looked at Gaia in disgust and snorted. Veins' popped on Gaia's head growling "You lowly maid how dare you reduce me GAIA to a mere hook-up? Are you looking for a one-way trip to hell?" She tried to summon her power but a cold glare from Marco made her meek. "Shut up woman, if you dare to destroy this house, I promise that the hell you promise will be heaven compared to what I will do to you."
Marco's eyes at this point were pitch black, his scythe was slowly coming out of the ground promising Gaia a very 'fun and exciting' torture session. Gaia shuddered and bowed repeated, "NO NO NO, I will not do anything, PPPPPLLLEEASE forgive me." In a perfect dogeza position pleading for mercy, it was honestly shameful for her, a mother goddess bowing to an unknown person it was unforgivable. But she had no choice, she did not want to fight this monstrosity again, in fact she regretted even having trapped him in the beginning.
