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.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAJx3EutzE
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.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVmFv3Zkra
"Who are you?"149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHBRfjeG0O
"My name is Olga. I'm here to give you a dress." Olga stated softly and sweetly.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nnBbYMibU
"Who said i needed a dress?" She was even more perplexed.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F2GbdBQUB
"Lord Lucas sent me here. He stated that Lord Markus requires dresses for you.'149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO4MrMDy82
"Can you tell me who Lord Markus and Lord Lucas are?"149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51M5BtbHwv
"He escorted you here, my lady." Olga gave her a friendly grin.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpigenT6ms
"Which of them?"
Olga knew the young lady was intrigued and perplexed, so she smiled pleasantly at her again.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UszMhqXl4
"My lady, Lord Markus."149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Chu1OL4NY
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.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4cqCp9KKY
"Where are you from?" She inquired.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY2zPEat18
"My lady, the black sea empire."149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDRxK6GmtE
"Black sea?" Maria asked, her face furrowed, "Never heard of such a kingdom," she said to Olga.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFgmyZlTg1
"We are really private. Only a few people had heard of it. We dislike interfering with other kingdoms." Olga's voice filled with pride.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnFheZ1JMQ
"Really?" Maria asked, her face furrowed.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH9nzTxqdV
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?"149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPryQSPAvi
"certainly," she says.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnojy1RJ8t
Maria raised her brow in surprise and amusement.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YJQfh7ioB
"The Black Sea is such a vast metropolis; I wish you could go there."149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq44vOxIJdv
"Fine." Maria gave a nod. "I'll make a point of going there to see for myself."149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPijRUxQlj
"I was hoping to see you there, my lady." Olga was overjoyed.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXbze6bzTx
"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.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46Wmiy51Ev
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.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWTpmqeE8p
"Do you need anything else, My Lady?"149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPGOWbq1XR
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.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhryanpKfX
"Where has Markus gone?"149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwXqSSR2iw
"Lord Markus is not going to stay here tonight. I'll be right here with you, My Lady." Olga spoke quietly.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlku0DpLE5s
"Why?" Maria was astonished.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaehMNy0Ok1
"He had something to attend to. And that's why he'd brought me here?"149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleoZRTnGao
Maria sighed in relief but was disappointed. At least, he should have informed her. She thought as she sat on the bed.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dTU4VNY8Q
"Are you alright, my lady?"
"yes," Maria said, forcing a smile.
'You must be hungry.'149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAWpAodJMs
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.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7JBWGKye3
"Are all of these for me?"149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2LvYN9nfX
Maria questioned while gazing at the steak that was looking back at her.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N8PGHEPbO
Olga chuckled, "Yes, my lady."149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHfkpuZlYG
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.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIKWQr4u5H
In the dungeon,149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f54oeGgox
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.149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlLQiM3B8Z
She flatly lay on the ground while she started to see vision-like vision.
