Sia was unaware of the growing plans for her future, simply thinking about the heat of the bath as she climbed in. There had been a tense moment when, as she climbed out of her dress, the maidservant had entered and potentially seen the stains on her thighs from their sex.
The woman had shown no sign of seeing, of course, simply gathering up the dress and vanishing out of the room to her own distractions. Sia's paranoia still spread and she analysed the looks of every servant she'd seen, searching for some sign. She tried to ignore the evil thought in the corner of her mind that hoped for their knowledge, lusted for their impotent judgement.
Finally, the setting sun sending red light through her window, she started preparing for the evening. She put on a much simpler dress, a thrill surging through her as she deliberately didn't wear anything under it, simply selecting a long 'cloak' with a hood to cover herself.
Dusk was moving in by the time she got to the quiet courtyard. The guard had gone. She darted across, robe flying, and slipped in through the stable doors. The warm must of the stable filled her nostrils.
