Loved By The Lord: A Victorian Short Story

What ever will we do?

The crops on our farm failed again, which means we cannot pay the two years of rent owed to our Lord.

Fortunately, Lord Elric is a kind and generous man. He will forgive our rent if I agree to become a maid in his Manor.

I am quick to agree, as I have always felt a connection to the Lord and would do anything to be closer to him. I know he feels it too. I know he wants me as much as I want him, but I am so innocent.

Now here I am, alone in his bedchambers. I wonder what he will have in store for me. Will he show me the way to womanhood?
