Clara sighed as the sight of the castle was approaching closer and closer. She could see it through the window of her carriage, carrying her back to her home, Black Rock Castle.

It would be such a lovely place... if not for her uncle.

Ever since she was taken in by him after her parents perished, she never felt right around him. She kept feeling that she was being watched by him, and many times she caught him from the corner of his eye staring at her direction. And it was not the kind of stare she was comfortable with. It was creepy, and dare she said it, [i]lustful[/i]. It fit more for a lecherous old man than a noble Count.

And that didn't include all the questionable things he did in the war. She knew how he had pillaged Echo Valley when he was supposed to be its guardian while the old Earl was being replaced. Not only for the food and good but for the women as well. It honestly disgusted her. Unfortunately, she couldn't do anything about it. She had no power in the kingdom's politics. And he kept doing it to other places as well again and again until the war ended and the loyalists became victorious. She had hoped that he would be executed for his actions by the King, but unfortunately, thanks to his bribing the capital massively, the King decided to put off on what he would do with him.

She still had her hopes however. Perhaps, if she could bring a more concrete proof of his betrayal to the right person in the capital, she could send him off to the gallows after all.

Today, she was just returning from a social visit to a noble's little tea party. She normally wouldn't like wasting her time in such trivialities, but if they could lead her away from her uncle, then she would take all the invitations she could get.

Once she arrived, she ordered her chambermaids to prepare a hot bath for her in her room. She was tired from the long journey and a good hot bath could certainly relax her aching muscles.

She had no idea in the slightest of the hole that her uncle frequently used to peek on her. Sometimes she would hear odd noises from the wall it was on, but she never put too much thought on it.

And so her uncle once again was gifted with the sight her of pure naked body. Underneath her fancy dress was hidden a silky smooth white skin, taken care very well by her maids, and an hourglass figure that would make any woman jealous. Her breasts were her finest point, full of bouncy and supple flesh that were large enough to entice any male that happened to catch sight of them. Only her buttocks were somewhat lacking, but other than that, she was the very epitome of beauty. And you didn't need to find her naked to appreciate her beautiful long golden hair and her bright blue eyes. Or her large bosom for that matter.

She enjoyed her bath in silence as her maids took care of everything. [i]Aah, as usual, this really feels nice...[/i] She enjoyed her bath for longer than necessary, longer than her uncle could stay.

Slowly but surely, she embraced the drowsiness that approached her, before falling asleep inside the tub. The maids just smiled. They didn't want to disturb their tired mistress.
