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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCuYz19UGB
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX906QCDKM
"Who are you?"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOOsJASrit
"My name is Olga. I'm here to give you a dress." Olga stated softly and sweetly.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeoX1tjGSR
"Who said i needed a dress?" She was even more perplexed.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZaKJuQSbz
"Lord Lucas sent me here. He stated that Lord Markus requires dresses for you.'124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2Rm4Txn8V
"Can you tell me who Lord Markus and Lord Lucas are?"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnNHgJZmKf
"He escorted you here, my lady." Olga gave her a friendly grin.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GBvIS7pKp
"Which of them?"
Olga knew the young lady was intrigued and perplexed, so she smiled pleasantly at her again.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj00gTD0ad
"My lady, Lord Markus."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEvv5rGxn9
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh7sWEekU7
"Where are you from?" She inquired.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QuPjgXB6u
"My lady, the black sea empire."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabJNdukPiD
"Black sea?" Maria asked, her face furrowed, "Never heard of such a kingdom," she said to Olga.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX6kY8ABgb
"We are really private. Only a few people had heard of it. We dislike interfering with other kingdoms." Olga's voice filled with pride.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K0nC6xwQy
"Really?" Maria asked, her face furrowed.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji05UY3pZ8
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?"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcWTQ6JVTI
"certainly," she says.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBM03Yndll
Maria raised her brow in surprise and amusement.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaUnJQzud1
"The Black Sea is such a vast metropolis; I wish you could go there."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHZEpJJlm8
"Fine." Maria gave a nod. "I'll make a point of going there to see for myself."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKZhJWAqk7
"I was hoping to see you there, my lady." Olga was overjoyed.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqYvrlxGYk
"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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXU9lY0qX9
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcKhOT47tq
"Do you need anything else, My Lady?"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wSFDn4kMV
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gMH8E1W2k
"Where has Markus gone?"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWHJCfqcsh
"Lord Markus is not going to stay here tonight. I'll be right here with you, My Lady." Olga spoke quietly.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tw6RwlLgp
"Why?" Maria was astonished.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVxJOGM1eW
"He had something to attend to. And that's why he'd brought me here?"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIpiAFonBD
Maria sighed in relief but was disappointed. At least, he should have informed her. She thought as she sat on the bed.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAGfWgmnCS
"Are you alright, my lady?"
"yes," Maria said, forcing a smile.
'You must be hungry.'124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL9E08OtgJ
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU2jt7gCBb
"Are all of these for me?"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjwaHI7GsY
Maria questioned while gazing at the steak that was looking back at her.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeu92bZ6IG
Olga chuckled, "Yes, my lady."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mYcJRz9Jr
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXHzWZLnr9
In the dungeon,124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLgi8xHfcI
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnArtC4HiVj
She flatly lay on the ground while she started to see vision-like vision.
