***

After midnight, I left my friends and walked the house alone. Outside, the storm raged with the wind blowing strong and the snow falling so hard that I could not see the buildings across the street. Darkness and snow had descended over the city, and the cold seeped deep in my bones. I wrapped my arms around myself to keep warm and sneaked upstairs. I had not seen or heard from our house lord for much of the day. He had come to check that we were well supplied for the storm and to make certain that all the wounded soldiers were well cared for and did not want for anything.

But after dinner, he had vanished from sight. Curious as to his whereabouts, I passed the main stairs and decided to find out. I walked up them in the dark and was careful to keep quiet. I thought up a story on why I might need to be up on the upper floor, but all of my excuses would be seen through. At the top of the third floor, I saw no guards or anyone of any kind. But at the end of the hall, I could see flickering light coming from one of the rooms.

Still I saw no one around, and my curiosity peaked and I wanted to know what the house lord was up to. Slowly, I crept down the hall and did my best to avoid any creaky floorboards. My plan was simple. I would take a peek into the room and then head back down to my fellow servants and enjoy the rest of the night. When I arrived at the doorway, I peered around the door frame and took in as much as I could see and then pulled back.

No one that I could see was in the room. A lantern on a desk flickered, but I saw no fireplace, yet a warmth came from the room that I could not explain. I took a quick second glance and saw a door open on the far side of the room. My house lord exited the room wearing a lighter robe than he normally wore. He held a candle in his hand, and I heard sighing coming from the room behind him. He picked up a jar on his desk and went back inside the room, but left an inner door open.

A few moments later, I heard a deeper, more animalistic grunt from a girl that came from within the second room. I could have turned away, but I think the wine made me braver than normal. I took a step inside and saw a bookcase lined the left side of the room. I also saw a large sofa there as well. I hurried over and climbed behind the sofa and peeked out from around the side so that I could look into the door where the moaning sounds came.

There I saw a large mattress on the ground. A girl, who looked a bit older than me, lay on her back with her hands tied to each of the corners.
