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.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJioShuKV4
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.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGcJwKeJ6D
"Who are you?"96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSOcuPNVNr
"My name is Olga. I'm here to give you a dress." Olga stated softly and sweetly.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrk7z5QjuT
"Who said i needed a dress?" She was even more perplexed.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukkc5UBRU0
"Lord Lucas sent me here. He stated that Lord Markus requires dresses for you.'96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCiFq2Nfmp
"Can you tell me who Lord Markus and Lord Lucas are?"96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUDNHcVuPU
"He escorted you here, my lady." Olga gave her a friendly grin.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHiaGaWSce
"Which of them?"
Olga knew the young lady was intrigued and perplexed, so she smiled pleasantly at her again.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoInO7bsM39
"My lady, Lord Markus."96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTRDrOlA6C
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.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB0yOhxHfH
"Where are you from?" She inquired.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9AKfugarj
"My lady, the black sea empire."96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnGsCdjG1a
"Black sea?" Maria asked, her face furrowed, "Never heard of such a kingdom," she said to Olga.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkVugyKbL4
"We are really private. Only a few people had heard of it. We dislike interfering with other kingdoms." Olga's voice filled with pride.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyaFObu90k
"Really?" Maria asked, her face furrowed.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByTIbk3hSx
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?"96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5khsHO0m2
"certainly," she says.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoFd9yqKhS
Maria raised her brow in surprise and amusement.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlKdiSDiU4
"The Black Sea is such a vast metropolis; I wish you could go there."96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9wto0BDeF
"Fine." Maria gave a nod. "I'll make a point of going there to see for myself."96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5BBLEc78D
"I was hoping to see you there, my lady." Olga was overjoyed.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzAnSIhnKk
"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.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvSTDOYzTh
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.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvjdJYq2ok
"Do you need anything else, My Lady?"96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5Htq2t5SF
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.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBDzBb05ug
"Where has Markus gone?"96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnnh6KdOO7
"Lord Markus is not going to stay here tonight. I'll be right here with you, My Lady." Olga spoke quietly.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqZ7yAUDUj
"Why?" Maria was astonished.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB964MbN7hM
"He had something to attend to. And that's why he'd brought me here?"96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwyycIA8dh
Maria sighed in relief but was disappointed. At least, he should have informed her. She thought as she sat on the bed.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdbzs8TEOi
"Are you alright, my lady?"
"yes," Maria said, forcing a smile.
'You must be hungry.'96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsgBwMnPcn
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.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtOHkT03Hy
"Are all of these for me?"96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH47XdstBV
Maria questioned while gazing at the steak that was looking back at her.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLHYpIHOTm
Olga chuckled, "Yes, my lady."96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvbkg8AuWQ
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.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7F4xUzsuW
In the dungeon,96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDe3snMaLM
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.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEnmUuIKWz
She flatly lay on the ground while she started to see vision-like vision.
