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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRtamdpDLl
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NxdqteuKk
"Who are you?"85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTfC4wBi76
"My name is Olga. I'm here to give you a dress." Olga stated softly and sweetly.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq2D06BOMB
"Who said i needed a dress?" She was even more perplexed.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6u1KyfTJD
"Lord Lucas sent me here. He stated that Lord Markus requires dresses for you.'85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9CmJreAfR
"Can you tell me who Lord Markus and Lord Lucas are?"85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnaHhvkL0w
"He escorted you here, my lady." Olga gave her a friendly grin.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XQFJd0heK
"Which of them?"
Olga knew the young lady was intrigued and perplexed, so she smiled pleasantly at her again.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R3dQWEhvH
"My lady, Lord Markus."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkNQQUzjUC
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjtnhQ1zb6
"Where are you from?" She inquired.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77W0FeTQIG
"My lady, the black sea empire."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb9uhzXx1G
"Black sea?" Maria asked, her face furrowed, "Never heard of such a kingdom," she said to Olga.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNheYvuZtv
"We are really private. Only a few people had heard of it. We dislike interfering with other kingdoms." Olga's voice filled with pride.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk37KKZ3Hh
"Really?" Maria asked, her face furrowed.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYImbzlGpjE
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?"85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaYCVYczaN
"certainly," she says.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt83UGAHZu1
Maria raised her brow in surprise and amusement.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GZAsqJdvC
"The Black Sea is such a vast metropolis; I wish you could go there."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUlDo7oKwC
"Fine." Maria gave a nod. "I'll make a point of going there to see for myself."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo2ImvC35e
"I was hoping to see you there, my lady." Olga was overjoyed.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsnv0XoJ1O
"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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebg2mWO2EE
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dBc3tWTMV
"Do you need anything else, My Lady?"85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4X8pQVaCf
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbFs2uRDzT
"Where has Markus gone?"85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0Im6mrZXX
"Lord Markus is not going to stay here tonight. I'll be right here with you, My Lady." Olga spoke quietly.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOtoWlX8xj
"Why?" Maria was astonished.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSudOXIZlqN
"He had something to attend to. And that's why he'd brought me here?"85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWkStuIJtR
Maria sighed in relief but was disappointed. At least, he should have informed her. She thought as she sat on the bed.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRvTo2XQPF
"Are you alright, my lady?"
"yes," Maria said, forcing a smile.
'You must be hungry.'85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYT6Z4KC9B
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwp7HI9GUg
"Are all of these for me?"85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZkHqg5mSq
Maria questioned while gazing at the steak that was looking back at her.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg09gMLybG
Olga chuckled, "Yes, my lady."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38qtBmefvG
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAuGtNm96g
In the dungeon,85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36g52oAKtD
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhps2ZswQAT
She flatly lay on the ground while she started to see vision-like vision.
