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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3F6bAjfy8
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiTcw5GE06
"Who are you?"150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgAkNCpCUr
"My name is Olga. I'm here to give you a dress." Olga stated softly and sweetly.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT53zkauQ4f
"Who said i needed a dress?" She was even more perplexed.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVZHRo5H05
"Lord Lucas sent me here. He stated that Lord Markus requires dresses for you.'150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0BrmPADT9
"Can you tell me who Lord Markus and Lord Lucas are?"150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6iLXyU1uE
"He escorted you here, my lady." Olga gave her a friendly grin.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3w2keagzg
"Which of them?"
Olga knew the young lady was intrigued and perplexed, so she smiled pleasantly at her again.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbUuNKRSDs
"My lady, Lord Markus."150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN9i6q92tY
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1my1X71TI
"Where are you from?" She inquired.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaD4UwBiL6
"My lady, the black sea empire."150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5le3tsHcdi
"Black sea?" Maria asked, her face furrowed, "Never heard of such a kingdom," she said to Olga.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaktpaLMTah
"We are really private. Only a few people had heard of it. We dislike interfering with other kingdoms." Olga's voice filled with pride.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p0TMLNMdV
"Really?" Maria asked, her face furrowed.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjOcKjmaCc
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?"150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7ZYqX4FBR
"certainly," she says.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4x5isLUfD
Maria raised her brow in surprise and amusement.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIPJynnLAl
"The Black Sea is such a vast metropolis; I wish you could go there."150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WLGKV1cpH
"Fine." Maria gave a nod. "I'll make a point of going there to see for myself."150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2JXKpzcbp
"I was hoping to see you there, my lady." Olga was overjoyed.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyVetbNci9
"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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJgIxyPnzU
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhKZV0JGfv
"Do you need anything else, My Lady?"150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LthgVFdvL
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfF00C6HFk
"Where has Markus gone?"150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QyiSkDRjc
"Lord Markus is not going to stay here tonight. I'll be right here with you, My Lady." Olga spoke quietly.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4I9Mny4Mc
"Why?" Maria was astonished.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMDS4VbwRo
"He had something to attend to. And that's why he'd brought me here?"150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlzaRV4jcq
Maria sighed in relief but was disappointed. At least, he should have informed her. She thought as she sat on the bed.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP3dmSE7Nz
"Are you alright, my lady?"
"yes," Maria said, forcing a smile.
'You must be hungry.'150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTRrOLbKUd
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlpKtJwGbd
"Are all of these for me?"150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFVy2xcsGT
Maria questioned while gazing at the steak that was looking back at her.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv05xyqH2w
Olga chuckled, "Yes, my lady."150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ135xdyweL5
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqdYzjFkht
In the dungeon,150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUgWfluQQ1
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.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCldU6bSnC
She flatly lay on the ground while she started to see vision-like vision.
