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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY1UC5kle5
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MCtpUMvg4
"Who are you?"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CNHvns5zB
"My name is Olga. I'm here to give you a dress." Olga stated softly and sweetly.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXfMk3xGjz
"Who said i needed a dress?" She was even more perplexed.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIur0mJmkbf
"Lord Lucas sent me here. He stated that Lord Markus requires dresses for you.'146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCYOzrSaIS
"Can you tell me who Lord Markus and Lord Lucas are?"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZKm7loIbF
"He escorted you here, my lady." Olga gave her a friendly grin.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lvzwfody7
"Which of them?"
Olga knew the young lady was intrigued and perplexed, so she smiled pleasantly at her again.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBoEhELXFL
"My lady, Lord Markus."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL1uSClAtg
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNC8IJNm0P
"Where are you from?" She inquired.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAxAbZoPr3
"My lady, the black sea empire."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0bemhkjTA
"Black sea?" Maria asked, her face furrowed, "Never heard of such a kingdom," she said to Olga.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcSXlponjc
"We are really private. Only a few people had heard of it. We dislike interfering with other kingdoms." Olga's voice filled with pride.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUILG7PmZx2
"Really?" Maria asked, her face furrowed.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiosuqUF9H
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?"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJqw3HL55M
"certainly," she says.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyCMruqwa2
Maria raised her brow in surprise and amusement.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGXiqTQmp1
"The Black Sea is such a vast metropolis; I wish you could go there."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD8H1DvM5A
"Fine." Maria gave a nod. "I'll make a point of going there to see for myself."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFa1netY5Z
"I was hoping to see you there, my lady." Olga was overjoyed.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz38yOBUPX
"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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28WCYwfFtT
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL28EQwRB6Y
"Do you need anything else, My Lady?"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdJAV0JoFW
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH70yvnwjb
"Where has Markus gone?"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMOsDI9oub
"Lord Markus is not going to stay here tonight. I'll be right here with you, My Lady." Olga spoke quietly.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLrBVyA0hL
"Why?" Maria was astonished.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeaUXjsH3M
"He had something to attend to. And that's why he'd brought me here?"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ5M9Mt6zJ
Maria sighed in relief but was disappointed. At least, he should have informed her. She thought as she sat on the bed.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM9EZRWfFl
"Are you alright, my lady?"
"yes," Maria said, forcing a smile.
'You must be hungry.'146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO13LsJ6YmB
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH7ZVKwSZI
"Are all of these for me?"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHAx6oflFC
Maria questioned while gazing at the steak that was looking back at her.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHEfzJdKeC
Olga chuckled, "Yes, my lady."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiEtamPDel
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9MugYebE9
In the dungeon,146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZoL2rhFuA
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByvBFiwSAt
She flatly lay on the ground while she started to see vision-like vision.
