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.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLekP9Ficqt
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.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZDfwL01RB
"Who are you?"136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dfU57tccR
"My name is Olga. I'm here to give you a dress." Olga stated softly and sweetly.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqRzu2RXXq
"Who said i needed a dress?" She was even more perplexed.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWE9LvHXWt
"Lord Lucas sent me here. He stated that Lord Markus requires dresses for you.'136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksmyE7VtQF
"Can you tell me who Lord Markus and Lord Lucas are?"136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvwJwlMut0
"He escorted you here, my lady." Olga gave her a friendly grin.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc970XJhXh
"Which of them?"
Olga knew the young lady was intrigued and perplexed, so she smiled pleasantly at her again.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA9TEOOWCW
"My lady, Lord Markus."136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BcIttz2SI
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.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwep5BLitkU
"Where are you from?" She inquired.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQZ0pINo0c
"My lady, the black sea empire."136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFGGgkmJIg
"Black sea?" Maria asked, her face furrowed, "Never heard of such a kingdom," she said to Olga.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaUDFIfWAC
"We are really private. Only a few people had heard of it. We dislike interfering with other kingdoms." Olga's voice filled with pride.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC36Zg28GiY
"Really?" Maria asked, her face furrowed.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31zLLONUD4
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?"136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3wR6b9kmC
"certainly," she says.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIni0f6R2B
Maria raised her brow in surprise and amusement.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMnBThInxu
"The Black Sea is such a vast metropolis; I wish you could go there."136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6WRMTwHnx
"Fine." Maria gave a nod. "I'll make a point of going there to see for myself."136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTXs6MAOYQ
"I was hoping to see you there, my lady." Olga was overjoyed.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNApzSBveti
"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.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu10p8l5fBO
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.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2jC9LgFlC
"Do you need anything else, My Lady?"136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qI8fYBxBs
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.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3acLs6xxcZ
"Where has Markus gone?"136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeDdGsuAcP
"Lord Markus is not going to stay here tonight. I'll be right here with you, My Lady." Olga spoke quietly.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgO252lqmq
"Why?" Maria was astonished.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELtWC6CuqJ
"He had something to attend to. And that's why he'd brought me here?"136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b6xCgY5b4
Maria sighed in relief but was disappointed. At least, he should have informed her. She thought as she sat on the bed.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTMHKzdaQd
"Are you alright, my lady?"
"yes," Maria said, forcing a smile.
'You must be hungry.'136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLrL2oN1CS
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.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8rweM8lOF
"Are all of these for me?"136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcLq8E90VC
Maria questioned while gazing at the steak that was looking back at her.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERCT9Z7Kga
Olga chuckled, "Yes, my lady."136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYf79D8aMe
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.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy6fBj89qM
In the dungeon,136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUwa6BzcFW
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.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQfuoZqxOp
She flatly lay on the ground while she started to see vision-like vision.
