And the person that was behind the door was a beautiful servant dressed in a maid uniform. The woman was 5'9", a similiar complexion to Charles, brilliant green eyes, and fiery red hair.
Charles was at a loss for words as he took in the servant's beautiful form, but conposed himself when his gaze began to linger on her breasts.
"Pardon me Duke de Lyon," the servant said. "I am Megan Lovell. Your cousin recently hired me to help you organize your schedule. Only say the word and I shall be of assistance."
Megan curtsied before Charles. Charles was taken aback that Laurence would have the nerve to hire such an attractive woman to help him with his duties. Yet knowing Laurence, Charles knew that saying no to such a beautiful woman would be difficult.
"Just call me Charles. I'm glad that you came to help. Not only do I have to go to all these social events, but keeping tabs on Mercia and their wretched queen is no small task."
Megan stood up and nodded her head in agreement. "I can see. I even hear rumors that Laurence may be attempting to create a treaty with Mercia. His highness has the right mindset, but that harpy will play him like a puppet. So leave the social activities to me. I will inform of important key events and help you choose the best attire."
"A powerful man such as yourself must continue to keep tabs on Mercia and guide our king so he doesn't get decieved by that atrocious Queen Mary."
Charles looked at Megan and raised an eyebrow. Megan seemed to have a subtle boldness to her. Yet she had a point. Charles should focus on spying on Mercia and whipping Laurence into shape. Not only was Megan beautiful, but she was clever too.
If any other nobleman looked at her they would be falling for her. A woman like her would be smart enough to work her way into a position of power simply by marrying a noble.
"That's a splendid idea. Please start right away," Charles said.
"Very well Duke Charles. I shall start planning for Laurence's royal ball. I will fetch a memo and make a plan for you based on the theme. In the meantime, what would you like for lunch?"
Charles looked at the sundial on his resk and realized that he had forgotten about lunch. "I'll have a sandwich."
"Very well. I shall let the chefs know and bring you a sandwich," Megan said.
Megan curtsied and proceeded to do her duties. Charles was mesmerized by having a hot servant such as Megan around. Yet he couldn't find the nerve to ask her about her personal life just yet.
