Ella followed the rest of the maid into the dinning room. She was nervous, she was starting to find it hard to breath.
Once they entered the big dinning room with a long table and over 15 chairs surrounding the table, her eyes widened. She had never seen a dinning room this big before with beautiful wallpaper beautifying the room. A chandelier was hunged at far end of the ceiling with unique decorations that were captivating to the eyes.
Twitching her eyes, she looked away, gently placing the dishes on the table before the arrival of the Death lord. As soon as they were done, all the maids stood at the side of the room waiting for the Death lord arrival.
After some minutes, the humongous door was opened by two guards dressed in their guard attire, then the death lord entered.
Silence! Absolute silence!
Nothing could be heard not even his footstep. He walked as if he was a ghost, looking at
Ella didn't make an attempt to take her eyes off. She looked at him and for a moment she felt sad for him, he was a monster.He enjoyed killing for a living as if lives could be made so easily. There was no way she'd stay in Narlands for long, she was going to leave after getting her first pay.The Death lord walked away, with the guards following him. The maids soon rushed back to the dinning room to clear the table.Once they were back to the kitchen, they started to gossip. "Lima is gone, just like that?" Cheryl spoke baffled."That suits her, next time she wouldn't misbehave in front of the Death lord and that's if there is a next time," Naomi spat out."That's true, she is always acting as if she was one step ahead of us and giving off that arrogant vibe," Layla seconded.Ella felt disappointed in them, weren't they all gossip partner? They felt no remorse over the de
Stella and Cheryl smirked when they saw Ella walking towards their directions, they had ulterior motives while approaching her.With a fake smile plastered on their face, they walked towards her. "Hi there Ella!" Stella greeted with a fake smile on her face.Ella was taken aback by their approach, neither of them has ever approached her before. She wondered what they wanted from her."Hey," she replied with a force smile on her face."We've been looking for you for a while now. The chief of maids said to give you this curtain. She said to go change the Death lord curtain," Cheryl said."What?!" Ella asked in shock. Going into the room of the Death lord was obviously out of her list. She
Ella thought for some seconds that her ears might be deceiving her. Did the Death lord just ask her to keep him company? Was he really planning to kill her? She thought."Sir...you...I mean keep you...to keep you company?" She asked to make sure she heard right, then she realised she was never to ask the Death lord questions.Before the Death lord could speak, she interrupted him. "I never meant to ask you any question, please forgive me my Lord!" She spat out as fast as she could without stuttering.For a reason the death lord felt the urge to smile, her facial expression turned out to a very lovely sight to watch. He had never found anyone this amusing before without them trying to."Aren't we friends anymore?" He asked her.Ella's eyes widened when she heard what he said. Friends? Was he drunk? She asked within herself.How could she be friends with th
Ella heart skipped, she wanted to cry. She felt like fate had curses her so that she gets into one issue or another with the Death lord."Were you paid to go around seducing men?" He accused Ella with a very deep voice which made Ella tremble.Ella eyes widened when she heard the Death lords statement. Her shoulder sagged and her heart sank.She wondered why he accused her of such when she hasn't gone around seducing any man before.She wanted to ask him questions, she wanted to ask him why he made such accusations against her but she knew that would only be putting herself in a more difficult situation.She felt cheated as she couldn't defend herself, here in Narlands, it was as if everyone tongue was sealed when speaking to the Death lord. Not being able to defend herself, she wept instead."You can't speak?" He asked. Just when he was about to speak again, he noticed th
The Death lord had invited Ella, the chief of maids, Stella and Cheryl to the blue garden. While he waited for then to come, he shot at shooting range in the blue.Ella was worried when she was told she had been invited by the Death lord to the blue garden. That moment, she wanted the ground to open and swallow her.Her heart started pounding so hard when she thought of the possibilities that she might see her end soon. She wondered how she had offended the Death lord again, or maybe he got bored and decided to kill her once and for all.She felt the urge to cry but she was tired of crying, she was tired of everything. Ever since she came to Narlands with the hope of living happier than ever, it turned out to be the opposite.
Ella opened her eyes to see the blur image of the chief of maids looking at her. She wondered if she had died and was seeing this.When her eyes finally opened brightly, she saw the chief of maids by her side. She sat down on the bed instead of lieing down. She wondered what happened because the last thing she remembered was Stella being shot by the Death lord and...."You..." She collapsed after that.She did not die, she looked at her body to see if there were any bullets in them or any injury but she realised she was fine."You are finally awake, you suddenly collapsed," The chief of maids said. Ella wondered if she was spared because she collapsed or the Death lord was waiting for her to wake up before he finally kills her.She began to cry, it was really the end of her. She wished she never came to Narlands, maybe just then she would have survived."What's wrong?" the ch
"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
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
