“My lord,” Desire rushed into the room to see Slyvester packing up his clothes and every other thing he had brought to the palace.
Desire and Ying got back to the mansion hours later and Desire couldn’t hide how happy she was to return to this place. The mansion might not have had good memories but this place was home. Her friends were here especially the assistant court lady, Lady Nor who was like a mother to her and all other girls.Unknown to Desire, the Mansion had increased in number and out
Desire hand holding the knife stopped for a few minutes, she was surprised at what Fei had just said. Her master was already betrothed! Is that why it was so easy for him to lie to the king?
“The next time you open your mouth to scream at me, I’ll be ripping your inside out with this knife. Try me Fang! Try me and see that I never go back on my words” Sylvester threatened Fang, embarrassing her. She quickly tied her tongue and stopped talking.
Sylvester reached his room and placed Desire on the bed gently before walking into his Personal bathroom to take his bath. Desire was already awake and she found it difficult to sleep back. She thought of how a good bath could help her sleep peacefully back.
Desire woke up the next morning before sunrise to see Sylvester still sleeping soundly, she was surprised to find herself on top of him. She touched his beard playfully before trying to move away from him. Sylvester held her down by the waist and opened his eyes to see her shocked expression. Her hair was scattered all over her face as she bit her lower lip in embarrassment. If only she knew what effect she had on him, she wouldn’t sit so comfortably on him. “Good morning my lord” She greeted with her eyes looking elsewhere but him.“Where were you running to?” He asked. Desire thought of how much her master had questions to ask her these days.“To the kitchen to prepare your breakfast, my lord. If not, the court lady would be really angry at me. I have to get up and help others out” She replied timidly.“You will go when I want you to go,” He told her. “My lord, please let me go. I promise to come back later, during the day” She begged“I’ll be busy by then” “Then, tonight my lor
Sylvester kept on watching her as she slept soundly, oblivious of what was going on around her. He stood up later on, took his bath and kissed her forehead before walking out of his suite. He needed her to rest thoroughly and to avoid any problems with other house maidens, he decided to skip breakfast.He went on with his job of informing other regions of King’s plan
Cassandra, I’m so happy that you’re fine. I thought something bad had happened to you when I didn’t see you again after that day” Desire cried out as the girl hugged her tight.“Me too Desire, when I didn’t see you anymore around the mansion, I thought the master had killed you” Desire laughed at her assumption.
Moments after the evil act took place, Desire staggerdly stood up, touched her neck and felt that it hurts more than hell. She was sure it would leave a mark, so she covered it properly with her hair.She could’ve gone back to report to her master or maybe leave to report it to the court lady but she brushed off the idea and moved on to the kitchen. She didn’t want to start
Three months later, still waiting inside the mansion for good news to come with hunger already setting in. Their food supply has reduced drastically and they could barely eat twice a day. The little farming they could do was in the garden and Cassandra weep bitterly when most of her flowers were uprooted to give space for planting crops.“We couldn’t possibly eat flow

Ying sent one of the warriors to tell Sylvester that their sister, the Queen, was dead. The warrior in his own capacity, went out discreetly and searched for Sylvester and after searching for two nights, he couldn’t find him. He returned home!“I couldn’t find them my lord. It seems they have moved on to another part of the region. According to the word I heard from s
The following morning Sylvester and all his soldiers and knights excluding just five of them left for the battlefield. They knew they had to save their region and not wait for the war to reach their wall before taking charge.Sylvester had found more than a hundred guns and several bullets in one of the attics in the mansion. Through the night, the soldiers were train
Desire opened her heavy eyelids to light. She closed her eyes as it penetrated, almost blinding her, before she opened it again. She looked around her and realized she was back in Sylvester’s suite. A lint was wrapped around her hand and her head hurt really bad.
“What happened? What did she tell him?” Fei asked Desire who kept her eye glued on Sylvester who was looking at her with so much hatred.“I do not know, Fei. But whatever she said had changed his mind about me” she replied.
“It’s Kim Chui. The woman is Kim Chui. Sylvester, please let them in, please. We can’t leave her out there like that” Desire cried out holding on to Sylvester’s cloth.Wrapping his arm around her, Sylvester instructed the soldiers, “Open the gate for them and take them to the northern wing of the mansion that we had already provided for them and give them the necessar
Desire sat beside Sylvester’s bed and watched him get rid of his cloth to take a bath. She kept on staring at him, thinking if this was a reality or dream.She thought she had lost him when those soldiers walked in without him behind them. She was so scared and prayed all night long that he'd come back to her.
Desire wasn’t her regular self by the time it was nightfall and there was still no sight of Sylvester. She sat in a corner for long, away from the others who had all cuddled up at the same spot, afraid of what was going on outside the walls.Fei sat beside her and held her hand. Even though she didn’t say anything, words weren't needed to express her emotions. She was
