The maidservants escorted me to the study where Samael was waiting for me. On our way, I could not help but fiddle my fingers against each other. Every step we took, it produced a distinct sound. A sound that jeopardized the rhythm of my pulse. Each step meant I'm coming close to the uncertainty of what's ahead. I clenched my teeth, tightening my jaw. I glanced at the maidservant's back, who's walking before me. "We're here, My Lady." Soon, the maidservant halted and faced me. "His Lordship is…

We traveled in silence. Neither Rufus nor the knights had spoken a word throughout our journey. Regarding their silence, I stopped asking question and kept my queries to myself. Soon, we finally made it in the Duke's Mansion. As we came close to the hill where the mansion stood, its glory amazed me. In my entire life, I've never come close to this mansion. I only looked at it from afar. But now that it's right in front of me, I distinguished how huge and large it was. Unconsciously, I was gripping…

"Yes," I said, and the knight nodded before leaving the shack. Still keeping the forced smile on my lips, I looked around my small shack. This shack had witnessed the love between my mother and father. It witnessed everything about my life, and thinking of leaving made my heart beat dramatically. Who knows? I might not come back here again. As I've said, I was not born stupid. I may not know everything, but going to the Duke's Mansion, I know leaving that place was impossible. I am not a…

"Tsk. That innocent look on your face is infuriating, just in case you don't know." "Milord," After clearing my throat, believing this negotiation could still ensue, I took another step forward. However, after taking a step forward, he took a step back. Right, he didn't like my odor. "I think it's impossible to attain romance with your food. But, perhaps, I can help?" I beamed him a smile, casting him a hopeful look. I knew he was just being greedy. But it was impossible for him to have a…

"Conduct yourself as a proper human being. Hah! He should tell that to himself." I scoffed under my breath, pacing back and forth inside my small shack. The sun hadn't set yet, and I could still see the knights outside. They replaced the usual quietness in this area with the sound of the knights building stables resonated in the air. But I couldn't care anymore. I didn't know what plans they had for this land or when they would ask me to leave this place. After all, this land was not mine. I was…

As usual, the day has passed faster than I could grasp the time. I felt that ever since Samael came into my life, fate itself had been toying with me. In retrospect, I often wished the day would end so I could rest. But now, the world revolved faster than ever before I could realize it; it was time for me to go home. For two days in a row, I've been finding myself staring at the road going up to the hill. The route leading to the shack I lived. "Whether or not I would return, nothing will change."…

"I'll end up fucking you… hard. That's the answer, silly." I pondered about his words overnight, puzzled at what he truly meant. After Samael dropped those words, he broke the foreign atmosphere building up between us. He told me he will take a walk and would come back. With that being said, he left without looking back. Internally, I hoped he wouldn't return. And he actually didn't. At first, it relieved me I could rest peacefully without him around. I haven't slept for a day and my body…

"I'm talking about I wouldn't forgive someone who could've turned you from a girl into a woman." Huh? Still, I was baffled. Someone could make me from a girl to a woman? Aren't I was a girl and now a woman as I aged? Old Olly said I'm at the rightful age to marry. Thus, I'm a woman now, correct? "Your expression tells me you still didn't understand." He smirked as we both exchange gazes. "But, that's alright. I can just show you." He added. And then he laid his hand that was initially…

"…Do you want me to prove that?" His last remarks completely rendered me speechless. The Duke liked me? He fell in love with a peasant? He fell in love with a dirty, malnourished, and a coward girl? How the bloody hell did he think I'd believe that? It was impossible. All my life, I've just been a part of the background. I was someone who would kneel before the nobles. Someone who begged for my life, and someone whose dreams would just remain as dreams. Never once in my life I've thought…

"However, after centuries of nothing but silence and darkness, I heard a child's cry." I gulped, hearing myself swallow. I couldn't look away from him as I pursed my lips in a thin line. "I never thought I'd found glee in hearing a child's cry. But, during that time, that child saved me." He smiled subtly while I suppressed my hiccup. I still had tons of questions in my mind, but I couldn't contemplate any of them at the moment. "From then on, I'd listen to her cries all the time. Until she…
