You Requested For Me, Father? (Madeleine)

“You requested for me, father?” (Madeleine)

With glassy eyes, he took a look at his daughter, nervously standing at the door. "Yes. Come on in, Claude."

He allowed her to enter his study. He had to say it to her.

"We had to arrange your marriage to Pierre Hérisson. It's your hand against the family post. It would be this January. Until then, I would ask of you to assist at dissections. This might create trouble with your grandmother, it would probably be wiser for you to learn how to extract human fat before getting married. He's quite poorer, and thus he would need someone who could help him with that task. As much as I dislike going against my mother's wishes, blind obedience would certainly not help."

So she left the room...He wished he could check, but he had to take out the water from his “medicinal oven”. That day, he just knew he would not have the strength to do both. His leg was so stiff, oh so stiff and paralyzed. He was learning to cope with it better, but...He had to better manage his force. 

(The End)

She was so obedient despite her nervousness. Sadly or luckily, there was no one to dissect this time. 

“Not today, simply because there is nothing to dissect right now. However, if you go to the kitchen, maybe you could practice on a pig head if there’s still something left it to study.”

He almost felt sick with himself. He knew it was the strategic, logical thing to do…But this girl would never have the possibility her mother had. Instead of falling in love with a nice apprentice, she was used as a pion to defeat a scheme. 

Well, at least he had to reward her…He was rather bad at it. admittedly, but it was just as important as punishment to keep submission. Using the strength he could gather, and oh how weakened he was and how he hated that, he grabbed his cane to stand up. Today was a bad health day. Aright. 

He walked closer to her, to pat her head three stiff times. 

On some level, she was lucky that Subyss didn’t succeed in sobering up. Because he would be the kind of person to place this ultimatum, should he be given the chance. Should he have done this, Jean-Baptiste would have killed Claude with his own hands, this was more merciful than life as the wife of this bastard.
