"What?!" Ella was shocked at what she heard the chief of maids say.
You are so foolish Ella! You just acted like an illiterate! She said within herself with a sad expression on her face.
"Are you serious? So that contract I signed had something like that written?" Ella asked wanting to confirm if what she heard was true.
"You mean you didn't go through the contract?" The chief of maids asked her.
Ella felt foolish for just signing without reading and now there was no way she'd be able to leave this kingdom until she has served for at least a year. She rubbed her face with her palm as she grumbled. I am doomed, she thought to herself.
"I'd take my lead then," She said to the chief of maids as she made her way out. Once she came out of the chief of maids office, she saw a familiar royal guard.
"Liam!" She called onto him with a smile on her face. I
"And what do you mean by that old woman?" The Death lord asked his birth mother with a lopsided grin on his face.In the house of the Death lords, their mothers were never with them as their mother were always sent away as soon as they gave birth to the child of the Death lord.The Death lord has never for once called his mother, mother not by chance. When he turned eighteen, he saw his mother for the first time and his father had told him, she was just a means to give birth to him and not his mother, since then he referred to his mother as old woman."I have been here for a week now and I've seen the way your look at her, all though you threaten her and make her fear you, you smile a lot when you see her even if you don't realise it. I know that look my dear child and I'd tell you, the more you threaten her, the more she'd go away from you, that's for sure." His mother said.The Death lord frowne
After getting her first pay, Ella went home for the first time after a month. She had three days for resting before resuming back.She couldn't believe she survived a month in the royal mansion without being killed after all the almost death encounter she had. She rushed to get her bag, so that she could leave the royal mansion as soon as possible before the Death lord finds her and reminds her she'd die soon as he always does.She couldn't believe she wouldn't be seeing him for three days and for once, she wouldn't be walking in fear anymore, that feeling alone was priceless to her.She missed Mimi so much that she couldn't wait to see her friend after a month. Once she got her bag from her room, she left the royal mansion hoping to not be stopped by anyone and told the Death lord needed her presence.Once she got back to Mimi's apartment, she opened the door. She heaved a sigh when a fresh air filled her
Mimi wondered what Ella meant by she just messed up. Ella face palmed herself as she remembered her dream.How could you Ella? How could you have a dirty dream like that of a man who wants to kill you? She asked within herself as she began to cry.Mimi didn't understand what the sudden tears was all about. Did Ella dream about her parent? Mimi thought."What's wrong Ella?" Mimi asked her with concern laced on her tone.Ella cried out loud the more, she was more embarrassed and ashamed of herself as she remembered the dream. She wondered why she had a dream like that of all bad dreams she could have had. She has never fantasize about the Death lord like the rest of the other girls so why was she having a weird dream like that."It's over Mimi!" She said.Mimi wondered if she was fired from her job. Then Mimi thought again, getting fired from being a maid in t
The two royal guard who infiltrated the Death lord office opened their eyes slowly to a dark room illuminated with blue Neo light. Taking a swift glance at the room, they remembered the place to the be interrogation rooms for infiltrators.Both men heart beat erratically as they saw three men dressed in all black with gun on their hands standing in front of them. Both men panicked, they knew the consequences for being caught and now they were doomed. They've come to meet their end.Cyprus came into the room with the Death lord, once the infiltrators saw the Death lord, their eyes widened and they heart pounded so loud. The Death lord footstep could not be heard but Cyprus footstep was heard.Once the
"My name is Lucas and the man who just died name is Gideon. We are both from the kingdom of Somia," the man said."What?" Cyprus gasped. The kingdom of Somia was one of those kingdom the Death lord had conquered long ago but some of its people escaped."Somia?" Th Death lord asked again wanting to confirm if he heard the right word. He never expected Somia to rise again after the raid on their kingdom. He was the one that beheaded the king of Somia. He never expected those that ran away to plan for revenge."How foolish of them to think they would easily win against me. I am more than the one thousand people of Somia and a punch from me would take away their life in a second," The Death lord said in anger. He clenched and unclenched his fist, wanting to punch someone that moment.
When Ella got the message that the Death lord requested she returned back to the mansion, she became furious, she couldn't believe he was that wicked to actually demand she returned back after her first day off.It was supposed to be the days she rested and recuperated but she was deprived of it because of a monster.As she walked out of the apartment with Mimi on her trail, she had a scowl in her face. She wished she had the power to kill the Death lord."You should be happy, not just anyone got to see the face of the Death lord you know, take me as an example," Mimi said.Many only heard about the Death lord but in reality they hadn't seen him. Most ladies saw posters of the Death lord but his face was never shown, but the ones that have seen
Ella thought her ears could be deceiving when she heard the last statement of the Death lord.She belonged to no one, most especially him, she said within herself. She was finding it hard to breath from the close proximity of the Death lord.The Death lord swiftly inhaled the delicious scent from Ella's skin, he felt the urge to nuzzle his nose on her neck and bite on her skin lightly.Ella stumbled back lightly, almost loosing her balance but she held still. She bit on her bottom lips with her eyes staring at her heels.The Death lord noticed how uncomfortable she was and for some reason he felt a tinge of pain in his chest. He remembered his mother's word; maybe she was right, he said within himself.Placing his finger on Ella's lip, he removed her bottom lips from her mouth. "Don't do that," He whispered. Ella felt a jolt of electricity down her spine when the Death lo
Ella felt the urge to laugh out loud at the Death lords statement. She felt the Death lord might be sick or the person in front of her could be an imposter. Suddenly she shouted, "An imposter! An imposter!" The Death lord quickly placed his palm on her mouth, keeping her shut.Ella struggled to get out of the Death lords grip and she tried biting his palm which he used to cover her mouth too. The death lord was amazed by her fierce attitude, he wondered where she suddenly got the strength from and he wondered why she was shouting."What's wrong with you?" He asked her.After some seconds, he removed his palm from her mouth. "Why were you screaming?" He asked her."You are not the Death lord and I will expose you!" She said and screamed once more, "An
Just as Diana was about to walk away leaving the Governor to die, he grabbed her legs with his hands, refusing to let her go. "You sneaky little bastard! I am not going to let you go." He spat out. "I won't..." He choked. "Still as persistent and stupid as always, aren't we?" She scoffed. She pulled her legs off his hold and kicked him one more time. "Bastard!" "I won't let you die slowly, I will let you die once and for all." She said. She used her legs and kicked him so hard. She shot him him constantly until she saw he wasn't moving no more. "Bastard!" She spat out. She spat on him before kicking him again. She left his room to go fulfil her other duties. The death Lord had already assembled his men. While some went to Raffan to attack, the others stayed behind to fight the armies of Raffan and Levine. The Death Lord had confident in Diana and Dennis to kill the people of Levine. He was going to let the king of Levine and th
Dennis informed Diana of what the Death Lord had asked her to do. She secretly entered the governor's room.He was shocked to see her in his room while he was getting dressed for the war ahead. "What are you doing here!" He pointed his index finger and Diana who didn't seem faze by his action."How dare you come into my room without fear!" He asked with anger but Diana shrug then smirked agitating him."I am not the Prime minister and I will kill you if you do not leave before..." Diana clapped her hands as she took slow steps towards him."And what would you do?" She asked with a questioning brows. "Do you think I care or do you think I'm scared of you?" Diana asked him.She scoffed then she
All the officials of Levine awaited for the King's presence as they dressed in their fighting attire. The people of Levine also gathered round waiting for the King to come.They were all shocked when they found out the Prime minister was striped off his title because he wasn't worthy of it. Many in Levine feared and respected the Prime minister for his ultimate strength.He was known to be one of the greatest achievers in Levine, his defeat made they wonder how he was easily taken down. The drum sound got the people to stand up and bow their head upon the arrival of the King.Nobody knew what the King had in mind or how he planned on executing his officials unworthy of their title."Welcome great people of Levine. Today you shall be free of the useless control of your unworthy officials." The King said. He was still pained by the fact that a woman took down his prime minister.He didn't wa
Ella wrapped her arms around Francis from behind. She felt a huge relieve on her shoulder from his warm scent. Francis smiled once he saw her arms wrapped around his."Did you just wake up?" He asked her and she nodded her head, not letting go of his waist."How was your night?" She asked him."Didn't have enough sleep but I slept fine." He replied her. For three days now, she slept with Amelia in the room because Amelia felt neglected.Although Francis was reluctant about her leaving and staying with Amelia, he had to give in. The past few days has been really stressful. He had been preparing for the war against the kingdom of Raffan but haven't taken any step as he awaited his spies to give him information first.
Once the Cave Lord left, the King asked the general to gather his officials in the court room. It was time to take the final step and prepare for battle.The Officials all got the message and had all gathered in the court room. They wondered why the King urgently needed them and what he had to tell them.While they waited for the King, they asked one another if they had any clue but it seems asides the general, no one knew what was going on.Just then Diana came into the court room, taking one step after the other, not bothering to hurry and line up. The Prime minister frowned, he despised her presence so much he wished he could kill her.The humiliation he got from her two days ago still haunted him that he had to drink himself to sleep or else he wo
The Prime minister of Raffan informed the Cave Lord of the request by the King of Levine. The Cave Lord wasn't one to leave the Kingdom, instead people came to meet him in his kingdom instead.Considering the situation on ground, he decided to go to Levine to talk with the King to come into conclusions soon.Now that the Death Lord knew where his kingdom was, he was sure he'd come soon for him.After preparing for the journey, the Cave Lord put the General in charge while he went to the Kingdom of Levine with the Prime minister.The King of Levine had already told his servant to prepare a big feast as they waited for the Cave Lord. The thought of two powerful kingdom merging to become one so as to be able to defeat Narlands made the King happy.
The General told the Prime minister of Raffan to wait while he went to call the king.Once he entered the King's room, he bowed his head. "My king, it appears we have a kingdoms with the same interest as ours. A man from the kingdoms who had managed to shoot the Death lord with a poisonous bullet is here," The General said to the king.The king raised his brows in a questioning manner. "Hmm, I thought that kingdoms was fallen?" The King asked."It appears there is more than meet the eyes. The man awaits you in the court room," The General said."I will be there in a jiffy," the king responded. The General bowed his head before leaving the king's premises.Both the General and the P
Both men felt insulted and at the same time they were slightly threatened by her words. "You bitch!" The prime minister spoke and Diana scoffed."Call me that one more time and I promise to choke you here and now!" She shouted. She wasn't one of patience and if there was one thing she hated, that would be to be approached by people who she felt didn't worth her time.The Prime minster smirked. "I want to see you try bitch!" He spat out and in a nanosecond, Diana palm flew across his cheek. The sounding slap of Diana made the governor gasp in surprise."How dare you!" The governor said. Diana pointed her fingers at him, dangerously walking towards him. "Interfere and be slapped!" She spat out."Are you actually threatening me?" The Governor asked. Just
The officials on Levine were all present in the court room including Diana who was the newly appointed commander.They were all summoned by the king for an emergency. After some minutes of silence, the king spoke."Diana who is our newly appointed commander and the woman to lead the upcoming battle has revealed a very important secret of the people of Narlands," the king said.The officials all looked at one another before looking back at the king. "My Lord, if you do not mind me asking, what is that secret?" The chief of armoury asked."The Death lord true weakness is the secret," the king said and the officials gasped. They shook they head in amazement as they smiled."I am so eager to know
