This chapter has the working title of “Into the Bucket”
“No! No! Wait! Put me down!” Lady de Winter protested as Kitty carefully separated her diminutive, former mistress from her tiny coverlet. Despite her furious kicks, pummeling fists and vehement protestations Milady soon found herself utterly naked; restrained gently but securely by her handmaid’s strong fingers.
“Good morning, Milady. I trust that you slept well. I’ve taken the liberty of preparing your bath,” Kitty smiled, cocking an eyebrow as she briefly examined the little nude that was squirming and wriggling so vigorously in her grasp.
“Kitty! You idiot! How dare you! Just what do you think you are doing??? Let go of me at once!” Milady demanded, clamping one hand over the tiny triangle of soft, amber curls that graced her womanhood and the other over her pert, white breasts.
“Mistress, I am following the instructions of Cardinal Richelieu. He was quite clear. You are to be bathed before you have your breakfast. Afterwards, the seamstress will begin fitting you for your new wardrobe. Just imagine that, new clothes! Won’t that be so delightful, mademoiselle?” Kitty smiled innocently. She was savoring every moment of her former mistress’s predicament. The miniature harridan’s impotent fury was simply sauce for the goose. For her, the world had truly turned upside down. Even if the furious, little comtesse hadn’t realized it yet.
“Richelieu!!! Following the cardinal’s instructions?!!!” the tiny temptress railed. “He’s the one who did this to me, you little idiot!” Milady shrieked, “Now let go of me at once!”
Milady’s rant was suddenly and rather unceremoniously interrupted as Kitty simply replied “Très bien, mademoiselle", as she released her grip on Milady’s waist. With a loud shriek, the tiny comtesse fell but a short distance before she landed in the wash pail with a very satisfying “Plunk!” and a small splash. Moments later the irate, little demoiselle resurfaced, coughing and sputtering. Pushing her wet, amber colored, hair from her face, Milady found that the warm bathwater rose to just beneath her breasts as she knelt on the bottom of the tub.
Milady was just regaining her composure when she saw Kitty’s huge, hand descending toward her holding a small chunk of soap, that was from Milady’s perspective, the size of a small loaf of bread. “Oh, no you don’t! I’m not going to bathe in a bucket! Not with these menials gawking at me!” the miniature comtesse fumed as she sprang to her feet and attempted to climb from the pail. She had almost managed to scramble over the side when she felt her maid’s huge thumb and forefinger close firmly on either side of her pelvis.
“Oui, mademoiselle. If you prefer, I will be most happy to bathe you,” Kitty said as she casually plucked the exasperated, little comtesse from the tub.
“No! Let go of me you, little wench!” Milady protested, clinging desperately to the rim of the wash pail. A moment later she let out an unintelligible screech as she felt Kitty began to smooth the wet, slippery soap down her back and over her bottom. With a gasp of disbelief and indignation the tiny aristocrat released her grip on the pail and twisted her body around in an effort to stave off her enormous servant’s determined fingers as Kitty continued to methodically soap and lather Milady’s miniature body, quite heedless of her struggles and strident objections.
Standing quietly nearby, Constance watched with growing amusement while Kitty proceeded to forcibly lather and scrub the diminutive assassin. For just a moment she considered the idea of intervening on Milady’s behalf. After all, the little comtesse was obviously very unhappy with her present situation.
