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.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0L1UW8BJm
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.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNei7Rg5Qy
"Who are you?"126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN4FUSWC0C
"My name is Olga. I'm here to give you a dress." Olga stated softly and sweetly.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtphR5ZsIrX
"Who said i needed a dress?" She was even more perplexed.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbsAlrMA7f
"Lord Lucas sent me here. He stated that Lord Markus requires dresses for you.'126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGZxMv388a
"Can you tell me who Lord Markus and Lord Lucas are?"126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ8FycRaNx
"He escorted you here, my lady." Olga gave her a friendly grin.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNohM0rIizh
"Which of them?"
Olga knew the young lady was intrigued and perplexed, so she smiled pleasantly at her again.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn2TZ2V2vK
"My lady, Lord Markus."126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR0MOkduO7
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.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVZgp1Itp4
"Where are you from?" She inquired.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1IavCZqQh
"My lady, the black sea empire."126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl4GAVYY2J
"Black sea?" Maria asked, her face furrowed, "Never heard of such a kingdom," she said to Olga.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Lc97zHnP3
"We are really private. Only a few people had heard of it. We dislike interfering with other kingdoms." Olga's voice filled with pride.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuITUMlO4G
"Really?" Maria asked, her face furrowed.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxjgDvt8l9
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?"126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJc0amZ9pQ
"certainly," she says.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwaBKvz15P
Maria raised her brow in surprise and amusement.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcZi4rkv6q
"The Black Sea is such a vast metropolis; I wish you could go there."126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd23iqGCt3H
"Fine." Maria gave a nod. "I'll make a point of going there to see for myself."126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdp8qU3TXU
"I was hoping to see you there, my lady." Olga was overjoyed.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HgmlKe3GM
"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.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWkocq7xNP
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.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiNQzAXcSu
"Do you need anything else, My Lady?"126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB2fpMnKO2
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.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8SqYY32rf
"Where has Markus gone?"126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTeals9FIL
"Lord Markus is not going to stay here tonight. I'll be right here with you, My Lady." Olga spoke quietly.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcmep4gzUw
"Why?" Maria was astonished.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbup1f72sV
"He had something to attend to. And that's why he'd brought me here?"126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpVY6k4axJ
Maria sighed in relief but was disappointed. At least, he should have informed her. She thought as she sat on the bed.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW02oxkJua
"Are you alright, my lady?"
"yes," Maria said, forcing a smile.
'You must be hungry.'126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M6faSZk4o
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.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70SW25DQzz
"Are all of these for me?"126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREPaPGshAY
Maria questioned while gazing at the steak that was looking back at her.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs909y7rmh
Olga chuckled, "Yes, my lady."126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZumOON6GFA
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.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICLWrUAap3
In the dungeon,126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoyHrnnCoN
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.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziGthJY1Q7
She flatly lay on the ground while she started to see vision-like vision.
