Maria noticed a young lady standing at the pool's edge. She had blue hair that fell over her shoulder and crimson eyes. The lady's attractiveness took her breath away. Although she didn't know what it was, she could sense that the lady was special in some way. It reminded her of the first time she met Markus, but Markus was terrifying.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuCK462QsT
Maria was perplexed when an idea flashed through her head. She looked around to see whether there was a cabin in the area but found none. She squinted as she glanced up at the lady.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EAr4ewl6z
"Who are you?"134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwPz46OAJ4
"My name is Olga. I'm here to give you a dress." Olga stated softly and sweetly.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhPIQOKVOP
"Who said i needed a dress?" She was even more perplexed.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKy6VLMR5y
"Lord Lucas sent me here. He stated that Lord Markus requires dresses for you.'134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PcUKaCz16
"Can you tell me who Lord Markus and Lord Lucas are?"134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR4csYhfeS
"He escorted you here, my lady." Olga gave her a friendly grin.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wOaAfQnEE
"Which of them?"
Olga knew the young lady was intrigued and perplexed, so she smiled pleasantly at her again.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0oJ4825ZK
"My lady, Lord Markus."134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTkeJ7qeOd
Maria became engrossed in Olga's lovely grin and was stunned by the smile on her face; her heart skipped a beat when she heard her voice and pondered how she came to be a servant rather than a queen.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXt86Wp9GJ
"Where are you from?" She inquired.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlNy1wFZzz
"My lady, the black sea empire."134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RiA4Lopgv
"Black sea?" Maria asked, her face furrowed, "Never heard of such a kingdom," she said to Olga.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCLRxRqsLr
"We are really private. Only a few people had heard of it. We dislike interfering with other kingdoms." Olga's voice filled with pride.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEvgpskG3S
"Really?" Maria asked, her face furrowed.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV0aqOqXQI
Olga gave a nod.
"Explain to me how you thrive in your kingdom without interacting with other kingdoms." She was perplexed. "Did your kingdom have a lot of wealth, resources, warriors, everything?"134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjNat661lK
"certainly," she says.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWuu2H5UIS
Maria raised her brow in surprise and amusement.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB67gPyG3Uw
"The Black Sea is such a vast metropolis; I wish you could go there."134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGKQrHXYm7
"Fine." Maria gave a nod. "I'll make a point of going there to see for myself."134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFei5QHEqXS
"I was hoping to see you there, my lady." Olga was overjoyed.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfovh89vXm
"Do you reside close to this area?"
"Lord Markus has his way to contact us," Olga smiled. "You don't have to worry about it too much." Olga could tell Maria didn't know anything about Markus, and she wasn't in a position to say to her.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT6Y1nW1ws
Maria bit her lower lip; she wanted a response to her query, but she opted not to speak because Olga had told her not to bother. She nodded and urged Olga to drop the dress.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ycuIc8pXp
"Do you need anything else, My Lady?"134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQgyldUS23
Maria shook her head, and Olga walked away. Maria stepped out of the water and changed into her nightgown. She walked into the cabin and carefully shut the door behind her. Maria was astonished to see Olga arranging food on a table. She looked around the room for Markus but couldn't find him. She frowned.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByKfGv9Doi
"Where has Markus gone?"134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TAuWqj3OY
"Lord Markus is not going to stay here tonight. I'll be right here with you, My Lady." Olga spoke quietly.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSDROB9fMg
"Why?" Maria was astonished.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7PYORQWGR
"He had something to attend to. And that's why he'd brought me here?"134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEwHA9oUJt
Maria sighed in relief but was disappointed. At least, he should have informed her. She thought as she sat on the bed.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPrKlWbXlg
"Are you alright, my lady?"
"yes," Maria said, forcing a smile.
'You must be hungry.'134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkrj8NChs4
Maria's pupils dilated as her thoughts returned to the dinner on the table. As the pleasant perfume of the food filled her nose, Maria's mouth started to water; her eyes started to sparkle.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPWx8VABad
"Are all of these for me?"134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9ProEuuay
Maria questioned while gazing at the steak that was looking back at her.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFboZIOjxSk
Olga chuckled, "Yes, my lady."134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj2UygHywK
Maria eagerly picked up the food from the table and started to eat, gobbling up half of it in one bite and chewing on it like a ravenous beast.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5eZaREFaS
In the dungeon,134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiucbsC4jd
Mary was sweating a lot, her heart racing. In a pitch-black space where she could hardly see herself, she hurled. Her nose filled with the smell of blood, and her ears filled with wailing voices. She felt like she might die from it as her stomach turned in disgust.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve2OAMbBKT
She flatly lay on the ground while she started to see vision-like vision.
