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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRAR6xWZsK
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvXJ5aTERg
"Who are you?"133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhdkijZZTf
"My name is Olga. I'm here to give you a dress." Olga stated softly and sweetly.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GtJnWWq7z
"Who said i needed a dress?" She was even more perplexed.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkqyZYWAM7
"Lord Lucas sent me here. He stated that Lord Markus requires dresses for you.'133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT91nsbFi0
"Can you tell me who Lord Markus and Lord Lucas are?"133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkri1oOCJi
"He escorted you here, my lady." Olga gave her a friendly grin.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEDmIOmwbc
"Which of them?"
Olga knew the young lady was intrigued and perplexed, so she smiled pleasantly at her again.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7iwKjt4gD
"My lady, Lord Markus."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaJD559faj
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdD4ggl7Rd
"Where are you from?" She inquired.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXDB8Suwtl
"My lady, the black sea empire."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk8Hw4GZSS
"Black sea?" Maria asked, her face furrowed, "Never heard of such a kingdom," she said to Olga.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCah2HtmOy
"We are really private. Only a few people had heard of it. We dislike interfering with other kingdoms." Olga's voice filled with pride.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DAqSrd2a7
"Really?" Maria asked, her face furrowed.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9euNvmJf2x
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?"133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLxMKb5mwk
"certainly," she says.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLRZk9aOWA
Maria raised her brow in surprise and amusement.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBFj3AsPbe
"The Black Sea is such a vast metropolis; I wish you could go there."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFk3K7bdds
"Fine." Maria gave a nod. "I'll make a point of going there to see for myself."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5X0EzcKhM
"I was hoping to see you there, my lady." Olga was overjoyed.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89ZJs6k20v
"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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMzMCE46rr
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApodD3Wb7M
"Do you need anything else, My Lady?"133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMou7pUm6U
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW1rLr2cuR
"Where has Markus gone?"133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1ryo60zAK
"Lord Markus is not going to stay here tonight. I'll be right here with you, My Lady." Olga spoke quietly.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulXVUFI6l8
"Why?" Maria was astonished.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtlVGDTmSb
"He had something to attend to. And that's why he'd brought me here?"133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSVRA7pIse
Maria sighed in relief but was disappointed. At least, he should have informed her. She thought as she sat on the bed.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDtwFUm1kG
"Are you alright, my lady?"
"yes," Maria said, forcing a smile.
'You must be hungry.'133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULEQU5ftZG
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KYHT5GIvF
"Are all of these for me?"133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WKQIO57LS
Maria questioned while gazing at the steak that was looking back at her.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cH3NmOmXH
Olga chuckled, "Yes, my lady."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKQfGpGztJ
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnoZQdKttP
In the dungeon,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebvgnYgcqs
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbswhoOzy3Z
She flatly lay on the ground while she started to see vision-like vision.
