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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbgJSS7kqV
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD8yDOyqYO
"Who are you?"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL3owS1vkd
"My name is Olga. I'm here to give you a dress." Olga stated softly and sweetly.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcfnuhaQg5
"Who said i needed a dress?" She was even more perplexed.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2Ii0Bi16q
"Lord Lucas sent me here. He stated that Lord Markus requires dresses for you.'114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIPXV5xgtm
"Can you tell me who Lord Markus and Lord Lucas are?"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf71ffXnYGO
"He escorted you here, my lady." Olga gave her a friendly grin.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cyhUjeGn8
"Which of them?"
Olga knew the young lady was intrigued and perplexed, so she smiled pleasantly at her again.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoROctXSHAd
"My lady, Lord Markus."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VWilFGFK5
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RzHxTMDnw
"Where are you from?" She inquired.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXLE3jLQwq
"My lady, the black sea empire."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IvbLxuPMB
"Black sea?" Maria asked, her face furrowed, "Never heard of such a kingdom," she said to Olga.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRY7Yha7uA
"We are really private. Only a few people had heard of it. We dislike interfering with other kingdoms." Olga's voice filled with pride.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhtDXK7NS7
"Really?" Maria asked, her face furrowed.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQigJEWMTUA
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?"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PQ6FzNIuC
"certainly," she says.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjint3IYFN3
Maria raised her brow in surprise and amusement.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SJoFrHceJ
"The Black Sea is such a vast metropolis; I wish you could go there."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTFT7UPk3V
"Fine." Maria gave a nod. "I'll make a point of going there to see for myself."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNwgxBUeuk
"I was hoping to see you there, my lady." Olga was overjoyed.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XdBxOCEpK
"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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJTRs3eCQZ
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIUkJ9ricO
"Do you need anything else, My Lady?"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbT4vCbiMO
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnNJm64AhF
"Where has Markus gone?"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgTkN9Na8e
"Lord Markus is not going to stay here tonight. I'll be right here with you, My Lady." Olga spoke quietly.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rHiahCMXA
"Why?" Maria was astonished.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjTN1kPq4W
"He had something to attend to. And that's why he'd brought me here?"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTwn0cQxtS
Maria sighed in relief but was disappointed. At least, he should have informed her. She thought as she sat on the bed.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATXGbvE2bC
"Are you alright, my lady?"
"yes," Maria said, forcing a smile.
'You must be hungry.'114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF0EjOJ7MU
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHRkfoTddM
"Are all of these for me?"114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX8XXa7Zhi
Maria questioned while gazing at the steak that was looking back at her.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwme0R7Tcy
Olga chuckled, "Yes, my lady."114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCFhuqnvVM
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0fgQBBcNR
In the dungeon,114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWsctetXGd
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.114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVF6TGNV5h
She flatly lay on the ground while she started to see vision-like vision.
