We toured the whole 3 storeys of the manor before stopping in front of the door which was at the end of the hallway where my room was. "And lastly, this is Lord Blade's study and this room opposite to it is the library!" Grace said."Can I have a look inside the library?" I asked Grace as excitement started to bubble up inside me. "I'm sorry, Miss. Harper; but Lord Blade does not allow anyone to enter the library..." all my excitement shattered at those very words. I gave her a sad smile as I nodded in understanding."Well then, I will go back to my room. Thank you so much for giving me a tour of the manor; I appreciate it!" Grace smiled at me and followed me to my room, making sure I had everything I needed."I need to help some of the staff in the kitchen since we're expecting guests tonight. If you need anything, you can ring me. There's a phone right on the bedside table with the numbers jotted down on a paper. Just call the kitchen and I'll be at your service!" Grace said and left

As soon as I entered my study, Caspian followed me inside. "Had you not interrupted, I would've extracted the truth from her!" my cousin almost yelled in anger. "And how did you plan on doing that?" I raised a brow and crossed my hands on my chest as I leaned against my desk."I would cross question her. They usually run in circles and then give up when there's no way out" he answered. I shook my head and sighed."That's not how it works. Trust me, I'm as curious as you are; but this is not the way to extract that information from her. She is a timid little girl who just reached her mid-twenties. We need to be patient""You are being a little too casual about her. She is just your mistress, Blade!""I'm not being casual, but rather careful. Just think, if I were to start suspecting her almost immediately? She would try to come up with lies. But honestly, she's a weak mage. So the more we act nice, the more she'll be vulnerable. It gives us time"Caspian seemed to understand as he slig

The sound of footsteps running around the whole manor woke up from my slumber. I had passed out on the floor from crying. I got onto my feet and started to fix myself when I heard the sound of footsteps running outside of my room.I quickly rushed to the door and pressed my ear against it. "Lord Blade, Sir Artemis and his guests have arrived" I heard a female voice.The name 'Artemis' made my heart freeze as my blood turned cold. It couldn't be the same person! I thought. "I will be down in a minute!" Lord Blade said. Then, I heard footsteps walking away; assuming it was the maid. I waited a little longer, hoping to hear Lord Blade's footsteps walking away. The wait wasn't long and soon, the other footsteps faded into the corridor.I finally heaved a sigh of relief. My mind flooded with all kind of thoughts; especially after the mention of that particular name. I despartely wished for my thoughts to be wrong. Suddenly, my stomach growled, making me aware of the fact that I did not hav

I was about to ask Caspian and Artemis to finish their conversation and join me and the other guests at the dining table when I suddenly saw Caspian rushing up the stairs in concern. I went after him and realised he was heading toward the corridor of my chamber—as well as Flora's."What the fuck are you doing here?!" Caspian's angry voice made me halt halfway through the corridor."I just..." as soon as I heard Artemis' voice, I forced my legs to move."What's happening?" I asked as soon as I entered Flora's room. Then my eyes landed on Flora who was crying as she was in her bed with her mouth gagged with a cloth, her robe was spread open and her lingerie visible. I forced my eyes away from her and looked at Artemis who was groaning in pain as he rolled on his side on the floor. A mix of emotions overtook me and I quickly strode toward the vulnurable girl.Covering her with the duvet, I pulled out the white cloth out of her mouth. Rage took over me and before Caspian could pick up Art

Walking through the corridor on the ground floor, I opened a door at the very end which led to the basement where the dungeons were. I didn't care about the dinner where my guests were still waiting on me to join them. Instead I mind-linked Caspian and asked him to handle it for the night.I would take direct reports tomorrow morning; meaning, I will need to have the guests stay over for the night. No one in their right conscience would deny my orders and requests since I've created that fear within everyone to not go against my words.Clearing my mind, I went to the cell Artemis was in. My rage started to take over as soon as my eyes landed on his ugly face. Even though he didn't look a day over 40, he was nearing his mid-fifties. I've had my fair share of interactions with handsome men and Artemis could never compare to those. Had same gender sex not been looked down upon by our elders, I would've already presented them a male partner by my side. Better than wasting time on some chi

As soon as Lord Blade exited my room, my fear started to take over. Despite Lord Blade telling me that he had my uncle taken away, I was still scared. What if he came back to harm me? What if he killed me for talking about his assault toward me? All kind of what-if's started to swarm in my mind.Tears flowed down my cheeks again and I wrapped the duvet around my trembling body. Even though I wasn't allowed out of the room, which works in my benefit, I didn't wanted to stay alone. I didn't even know where Grace was.There was no more energy left in me to move my body or even think rationally. I cried until I couldn't and eventually my vision blackened.I woke up to something wet being placed on my forehead. My senses kicked in and I abruptly sat up straight in bed. A wet cloth fell onto the duvet. "Miss. Harper, please lie down! You have a fever!" I turned around to be met with Grace's concerned face."I'm fine" I told Grace and tried to get out of bed but I felt the lack of energy maki

The arrival of the two men from the investigation team had already surprised me. I wasn't expecting them to be here since I didn't see a reason for them to visit me. But as soon as they mentioned it was regarding Gerald, Flora's father, my blood boiled and rage took over me. That good-for-nothing of a man was stirring up a lot of trouble for everyone.As expected, Gerald was arrested for being involved in illegal activities. I always had my doubts when it came to him."Our main reason of visit is Miss. Harper. We found out from Mr. Harper that she's been handed over to you as a compensation for the debt he couldn't clear out with you" Emmett said."Yes, she's staying here with me. We will talk in my study" I said and pointed at the stairs behind me."Before that, could you please hand over this envelope to Miss. Harper? We will talk to her after we talk with you. This letter will at least give her an insight on the purpose of our visit and what she would be expecting when we talk to h

The feeling of something poking my forearm woke me up. Though I didn't open my eyes, I strained my ears to listen to the chattering in the background. It took me a while to focus but my hearing cleared up soon."How long until she heals?" I heard a voice which I recognised as that of Caspian's."She should be fine by tomorrow morning. I cannot inject her with strong doses; her body is too weak for it. Being underweight is one of the reasons because unless she eats something, there is no point in giving her such a dose" an unfamiliar voice spoke."Okay then, I won't keep you for long. Thank you, Mr. Dawson!" Caspian said. I then heard some shuffling noises and then the closing of the door. This time, I slowly opened my eyes and blinked a few times to get rid of the blurry vision."I see you're awake now" Caspian's face came into my view as he slightly hovered over me.My eyes left his and wandered around the room. Realising it was my room, I relaxed a little and looked at Caspian agai

Princess Marina's request caught me off guard at first. She silently pleaded with her eyes and occassionally looked around to check for any third person witnessing the encounter. "Okay, how about we talk in my study?" I suggested. The princess approved of it and I signalled for her to follow me. Walking upstairs, I led the way to my study and opened the door for her to enter first. "Thank you so much for your time, Lord Blade!" the princess said as soon as I closed the door behind us. "Of course! What is it that you wanted to discuss with me?" I asked. Princess Marina inhaled slow and deep before speaking. "Well, I was linking with my parents back in Adriosana and I learnt something about..." she trailed off, leaving me curious. I urged her to speak as my brain started to run with multiple possibilities. It didn't take a genius to know this was about Flora. "Could you give me your word, that you won't speak to anyone about it? Especially not my husband!" She seemed a bit frant

What we all just witnessed was something unexpected and equally surprising. "Caspian, stay here with her, I'll have a look!" I said and rushed out of my room.Running downstairs, I almost bumped into Lenox. "Lord Blade, did you hear—""I did! Come with me!" I instructed Lenox and went out the back door of my manor.I looked around at first, trying to find anything, anything that could tell me what just went down. After finding nothing, I decided to have a look at the area where we all saw the blood covered bloke.Upon reaching the area, I and Lenox stepped into the woods, not deep though. But we weren't able to find anything. Not even a trace of the events we witnessed. "Blade! Anything there?" Caspian called out to me from my chamber's balcony. I turned to look up at him and shook my head. "Shall I join? We can cover more ground that way!" he suggested. "We'll do that later. For now we have the demon prince to worry about..." I linked him."Almost forgot about him. Well, come back

I followed Blade's gaze and then turned to look at him again. "Well, I'm glad you have something left of them. Do you read it often?" "Not very often but when I'm stressed or not in a great mood. Their journal entries are a good refreshers and tells me more about their love for each other. Or other things in general" he answered. "Must be nice to know more about them..." I murmured and sighed.Blade smiled small and said, "Yes, indeed. So do you plan on reading the book right now?"I hummed in response and glanced at the book. "I don't want to sleep...not yet" The warlock just shrugged and started walking toward the door. I followed him out as he turned around to lock the library again. We went back to his room and I decided to sit at his desk to read under the lamp. I didn't want Blade to sleep uncomfortably if I were to have lights turned on for me to read.I insisted Blade to just get some rest whilst I continued to read the book he picked out for me. Though he was against it at

All of a sudden, Blade's expression changed from that of semi-satisfaction to extreme confusion with a hint of surprise. "Is something wrong?" I asked."Your eyes...they're red!" he replied. I furrowed my brows in confusion and slightly tilted my head. "What do you—" I got cut off when I heard a low voice in my head. I couldn't make out what it said but it spooked me too much. The longer I stared at Blade, the more erratic my heartbeats got. I felt a pull toward him, something which felt extremely natural yet unnatural."Must be my imagination..." Blade said and exhaled. "My apologies for the false panic!" "No, that's fine. You must be tired...I mean, I've troubled you enough..." I trailed off and looked away. But the beating of my heart quickened up, my subconscious forcing me to look back at the warlock.Blade shook his head and replied with a simple "No" before cupping my face. "Whatever this is you're going through, it is very serious. It's not something you can dust off!" he s

Soft whimpers fell onto my ears which made me wake up. As I opened my eyes, my gaze fell onto the lass beside me. She was whimpering and shifting uncomfortably in her sleep. There was a deep crease between her eyebrows. A nightmare...I thought."Flora...Flora?" I called out to her and slightly gave her body a shake, hoping she'd wake up. But there was no positive response so I shook her a little more and called out to her again. This time, her eyes opened in a panic as she sat up and looked around. Taking in the surroundings, her eyes landed on me and a sigh left her mouth."Was it that bad?" I questioned. Flora nodded and buried her face in her hands.I slowly placed a hand on her back and gave her a gentle rub. "Would you like some water?" I asked."Yes" she mumbled. I quickly grabbed the glass bottle off of my bedside table and handed it to the distressed lass.She quickly took the bottle from my hand and took small sips until she was content. "Feeling any better?""A little, yes.

Amusement took over me when I saw Lord Blade smile at me. I never expected to ever witness him smile—let alone at me. His chuckle was even more deep and attractive which I found difficult to resist. So I did the first thing that came to my mind. I traced my fingers along his jaw as I placed a soft kiss to the tip of his nose. My heart flipped in my chest when I heard him chuckle.I pulled away when he went silent and looked into his light grey orbs. "I love your eyes..." I muttered.A light red tint spread across the warlock's face as he averted his gaze from me for a moment. "Thank you...I've never gotten that before so my apologies if I—""It's fine, really!" I said and laughed a little. My hand hovered over my mouth as I yawned small. Sleep was slowly starting to take over me."You should sleep now. It's getting late" the warlock said and placed the stray strands of my hair behind my ear. I nodded in agreement and tried to get off of his lap but I realised that his other hand was

I looked at Flora silently, waiting for her to change her mind, but she didn't. It seemed like she was ready to open up about her past. "Are you sure?" I asked."Yes, I am. It's about time you know about it..." she said."Then we can get in bed and talk. I want you to be comfortable" I pointed at the bed with my thumb.Flora nodded and joined me in bed. She pulled the duvet over her lap as she got comfortable on the soft mattress. "Where do I begin...?" she questioned—more like to herself."Whatever you're comfortable with. I wouldn't want you to go through another trip down the fucked up memory lane" I said.The lass looked up at me briefly before averting her gaze elsewhere. "It all started when I turned eight. My mother wouldn't be home almost all day and my father would be at work. My mother would drop me at school and from there, one of my peers' mother would take me to their home upon my mother's words..." she started and inhaled slowly."It's okay, take it slow" I assured her a

A low growl left my mouth when I heard the knock on my bedroom door. I had just been getting comfortable when that stupid knock ruined it all.Getting out of bed, I walked toward the door and opened it slightly to see who it was. To my surprise, it was Prince Luke standing at the door. "Your highness? How may I help you? Do you need anything?" I asked and opened the door a little wider so I can be in his view."My apologies Lord Blade, for showing up at such an hour but I wanted to mention something!" he said. "Could I come inside and talk?" he asked which made me freeze."Uhm..." I trailed off, unsure of how to reply. I turned around to glance at Flora who was now sitting upright in bed."Am I interrupting something?" Prince Luke asked. "N-no! Don't worry!" I immediately replied and stepped out of the room. "We can talk in my study!" I said and gestured toward the door to my right.Prince Luke nodded and said, "I also need to have a word with your mistress. So if you can ask her to

I was too terrified to go back to sleep alone in my room so I had to bring myself to ask Lord Blade if I could at least stay in his room for a little while. I wasn't expecting him to agree to do so easily. As I lied down on the soft mattress, I struggled to fall asleep again. Turning to face Lord Blade, his eyes met mine and held me captive. "Can't sleep?" he asked, his voice deep yet whispery."No..." was all I could mutter. I bit my lower lip, not wanting to work upon a newfound thought in my mind. The handsome warlock being in the same bed as me wasn't helping either.I almost gasped as soon as the warlock reached out to my face and brushed his thumb across my lips. Slowly and carefully, I moved a little closer to the warlock and saw his expression changing into something I couldn't read and make out.His hand slowly rested on my cheek, his thumb leaving my lips and starting to make circles on my face. I leaned into his touch as my eyes closed and a small smile rested on my lips.
