"Someone like you? Louis what do you think you are? An ogre? Honestly Louis, look around you, you're probably the kindess gentleman here. The way you cared for that girl, defending her against that blasted trainer. You have more manners and compassion then all the men of this house combined." Victoria made sure that Louis would feel comfortable around him, she could still tell he was nervous around her as they spoke.<br/><br/>"Louis, please, I just want you to relax, you and I are two of a pair when you think about it. I am the one woman besides the Lady of the house that isn't some trained slave girl that has to serve the men. You are the one man that I've seen treat those girls with some sense of respect, in essence, dear Louis, we are the oddballs so to speak. So barring our titles, we are more similar that you think dear Louis. And the girl Annalisa, the one that so lovingly gave you service, you two must have a special relationship. I saw how you looked at each other. Louis, you can trust me, I won't tell anyone, I promise. The lockets you wear match, that is not by chance is it? Do tell Louis, who is she to you?" Victoria hoped she wasn't pushing the boundaries, but as she asked, sje made sure to rub up and down his upper thigh, just to give him a taste of what may be to come later.
