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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL5gNW4ahn
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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcdFrxlKY9
"Who are you?"140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphLE0Su7nM
"My name is Olga. I'm here to give you a dress." Olga stated softly and sweetly.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxojVPKDhj7
"Who said i needed a dress?" She was even more perplexed.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzq2Vhd8N1
"Lord Lucas sent me here. He stated that Lord Markus requires dresses for you.'140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJj3Tw0d0e
"Can you tell me who Lord Markus and Lord Lucas are?"140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQJfAd5lIi
"He escorted you here, my lady." Olga gave her a friendly grin.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOrzi6PuGc
"Which of them?"
Olga knew the young lady was intrigued and perplexed, so she smiled pleasantly at her again.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKnzW1xKiQ
"My lady, Lord Markus."140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98nr3guuuy
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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw9kAhDMSc
"Where are you from?" She inquired.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgosNE6z3Ml
"My lady, the black sea empire."140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMjFS4Swg3
"Black sea?" Maria asked, her face furrowed, "Never heard of such a kingdom," she said to Olga.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHzwObAtB8
"We are really private. Only a few people had heard of it. We dislike interfering with other kingdoms." Olga's voice filled with pride.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVV7zxi0aP
"Really?" Maria asked, her face furrowed.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrSBuw52Cz
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?"140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX7i8lVYZj
"certainly," she says.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaXDLRTo6u
Maria raised her brow in surprise and amusement.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6ifJ1UvuA
"The Black Sea is such a vast metropolis; I wish you could go there."140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXesqxluk86
"Fine." Maria gave a nod. "I'll make a point of going there to see for myself."140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvO78IWYt0
"I was hoping to see you there, my lady." Olga was overjoyed.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcgVjFou22
"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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDD5jfQuGT
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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndwMcqi0gg
"Do you need anything else, My Lady?"140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tBQR1NKCk
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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyccYysnRA
"Where has Markus gone?"140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3DzJKIAnP
"Lord Markus is not going to stay here tonight. I'll be right here with you, My Lady." Olga spoke quietly.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUUWiae4Ps
"Why?" Maria was astonished.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRYyjcpy8Q
"He had something to attend to. And that's why he'd brought me here?"140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUFcoTWtTb
Maria sighed in relief but was disappointed. At least, he should have informed her. She thought as she sat on the bed.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt1AJ5u6Y6
"Are you alright, my lady?"
"yes," Maria said, forcing a smile.
'You must be hungry.'140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0pIP3ke0J
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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAR3GBV55g
"Are all of these for me?"140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhqtVl5x8c
Maria questioned while gazing at the steak that was looking back at her.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4whNOL6IF
Olga chuckled, "Yes, my lady."140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYKr0juvMC
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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ILfYc3XgG
In the dungeon,140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvnsvqvjEh
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.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwLeYGOhsn
She flatly lay on the ground while she started to see vision-like vision.
