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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA38hq3BH2R
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG6mKITLgu
"Who are you?"147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTNyrbx8ci
"My name is Olga. I'm here to give you a dress." Olga stated softly and sweetly.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVqdgq5dPp
"Who said i needed a dress?" She was even more perplexed.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaPluSk0nb
"Lord Lucas sent me here. He stated that Lord Markus requires dresses for you.'147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFllRArXdnh
"Can you tell me who Lord Markus and Lord Lucas are?"147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQYieZAhjH
"He escorted you here, my lady." Olga gave her a friendly grin.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbqOhScDgA
"Which of them?"
Olga knew the young lady was intrigued and perplexed, so she smiled pleasantly at her again.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7hdouFj3R
"My lady, Lord Markus."147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IFs76krc1
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1h9OjOnic
"Where are you from?" She inquired.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcou3n1B2h
"My lady, the black sea empire."147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70FfzUg8gc
"Black sea?" Maria asked, her face furrowed, "Never heard of such a kingdom," she said to Olga.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgUGPNvGqY
"We are really private. Only a few people had heard of it. We dislike interfering with other kingdoms." Olga's voice filled with pride.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQHc8I7VYe
"Really?" Maria asked, her face furrowed.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYCst2fUOP
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?"147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRMuz9r7Qv
"certainly," she says.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9dMjB0x0B
Maria raised her brow in surprise and amusement.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtucDxSUUAB
"The Black Sea is such a vast metropolis; I wish you could go there."147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD20jnklqVv
"Fine." Maria gave a nod. "I'll make a point of going there to see for myself."147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOO04F26ba
"I was hoping to see you there, my lady." Olga was overjoyed.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7PKvDzDat
"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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcWZiZs5La
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFn2S3x7U8
"Do you need anything else, My Lady?"147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRja5zMWGt
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsxRfJJPjP
"Where has Markus gone?"147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzUAXcDF26
"Lord Markus is not going to stay here tonight. I'll be right here with you, My Lady." Olga spoke quietly.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSYSew764D
"Why?" Maria was astonished.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreuga9JuVI
"He had something to attend to. And that's why he'd brought me here?"147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr9z1B1xoh
Maria sighed in relief but was disappointed. At least, he should have informed her. She thought as she sat on the bed.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F6fMZ5Ohf
"Are you alright, my lady?"
"yes," Maria said, forcing a smile.
'You must be hungry.'147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkRO9ExcWd
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVTWK2ADXB
"Are all of these for me?"147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7V6jL7pJy
Maria questioned while gazing at the steak that was looking back at her.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpVOjG7mod
Olga chuckled, "Yes, my lady."147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwu2bEMS4b
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvKUWZ1QPh
In the dungeon,147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv7sRgOkNi
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsScu5uCLXg
She flatly lay on the ground while she started to see vision-like vision.
