THE MANSION MANSION IS UNDER ATTACK!!!Katherine ran towards Robert's cabin, she was terrified and bothered."Robert! Robert..." She blurted as she stepped into the cabin. Robert was working on something and appeared oblivious to the happenings outside."Robert... The mansion is under attack! The people...they- they had no faces.. no body..they were like air... and-""They are the spirits of the forgotten," Robert said interrupting, he put his hand on her shoulder calming her down. He walked towards the shelf and pulled out a big dusty book. He opened and turned pages and finally stopped at a specific page."Is this what it looked like?" He asked, pointing at a ghostly image on the book page."Yes. They can't be eliminated, two guards are already dead and their faces were blue.. icy blue. Samuel is attempting to hold them off but I doubt he can,""They are cathas, spirits of the forgotten. They were offended. Someone must have done something to wake them, cathas don't appear unless the
The rattle of a door opening was heeded as footsteps stridden into the room."She did nothing wrong, She was trying to safeguard the little girl," Robert explained as he stepped through the door, moving towards Samuel.Samuel, whose head was against the chair as he sat with his eyes shut then opened his eyes."What she did was revolutionary. She went against the King's words, my words. She deserves discipline.""The little girl was entrusted to her for protection, surely it wasn't against his words," Robert reasons.Samuel slams his hand on the table before him. He stands up angrily,"That girl is the only solution to this dilemma, And Katherine fucking knew it. What's the use of protecting one girl when she'll die either way,""The--"A knock came on the door."Sir Samuel, King Magnus just arrived." A voice informed from outside the door.Startled, Samuel stared at Robert. He then turns his head towards the door."I'll be down shortly," He replied.He swivels his gaze back to Robert.
Galerien [Southern Kingdom]"What?" A sluggish drowsy voice asked. His voice was deep. His breaths came out as pants as he strived to stabilize them."Elder Sean wants to see you." The servant responded from outside the door."I'll be there," After responding he surges from his sleeping position and sits on the bed. Running his hand through his silver hair, he stood up and wore his robe. After putting on his shoes he strolled towards his door and walked outside.Descending the stairs, he strides towards the main hall of the temple.The two-way door was opened by two servants standing beside it, keeping guard.An elderly man in a priestly garment came into view, his slight gray hair was barely visible since it was nighttime."You sent for me," He said as he ambled closer to the elderly man."Yes, I did. Sit." Taking a step closer to the elderly man, he sits in the chair closest to him."What were you doing in the Northern kingdom?" Elder Sean asked, the scowl on his face tells how diss
"Why did you do it?" His voice was rough. He asked no one in particular but a figure emerged from the wall. The figure moves closer to Dominic who was standing at the window.It was nighttime."She recognized you," Simon countered as he stepped closer to Dominic, he bent his head at him. "Her eyes dilated when she saw you, and the chances of you being her protector were slipping.""King Magnus wouldn't have selected someone else for the fear of offending the temple of priests, so I had the highest odds." He stopped and turned around to face Simon,"You're lucky old man Robert wasn't there, that man is always suspicious.""Who's Robert?" Simon asks. His Master just got here and the likelihood of him knowing people and their attitudes instantly was strange."I have my ways," He replied and turned his back on Simon."What's happening in the south?""Nothing suspicious yet. But Xavier seemed to want the girl urgently, he had been asking around for help, he knew entering the Magnus's Mansi
"You'll be accompanying Alexandra to Hamish's mansion, she needs to get her body measurements." King Magnus hesitated for a second, "Mrs. Hamish would have arrived here herself, however, she isn't well and her assistant took a time off." King Magnus explained to Dominic as he settled on his throne with his eyes staring directly as spoke. His eyes showed how tired he was since he had an urgent lawsuit at hand.Dominic only bowed his head in accord. His duties begin today and to be frank he wasn't looking forth to it. He wasn't a lad soul, specifically not to a bothersome lass. He tilted his head to the side and glanced at Alexandra who was sitting quietly. He had reckoned she would make a complaint against him since returned to her room late last night, although Simon was keeping a watch on her which she had no idea."You should probably take her there early, I heard Mrs. Hamish doesn't like to be disturbed when she starts working." King Magnus continued. He was glad he assigned a prot
"His disappearance was untraceable. It seemed he was helping a larger system," Simon announced. He strode nearer to Dominic and resumed, "All the souls he gathered for Mrs. Hamish were duplicates, unknown to her." He paused his speech, "Hunting him might guide us to our goal, don't you think?"Dominic waited. He thought for an instant, "I think it's time to stop by an old friend." He said, and Simon turned his head. It was dark, so Dominic took a cloak and stepped out of the room.___"The officials aren't performing their duties? What's the use of keeping them?!" An irritated voice yelled. The shivering young man before him could only nod his head as he strived to avoid the wrath which wasn't ceasing anytime shortly."Make sure awful reports don't show themselves, now go and correct them." The young man nodded instantly and recklessly walked out of the door.A few seconds laterThe door opened."Better make sure those reports are corrected before entering, 'cause if not-""Still hot-
Heads swiveled towards the voice which was owned by a man. Alexandra didn't know if she should be relieved or alarmed by the man's appearance. Green eyes, extremely pale skin, and short brown hair coupled with a long weird coat and shoes. He looks oddly identical to Dominic but older and bigger, and Dominic had long silver-blonde hair and his eyes weren't green."Dominus!" The girl blurted, the animosity in her eyes that was directed at her was now aimed at the man called 'Dominus' who didn't even bother to glance twice at the girl."Filthy catha," The man, Dominus strode as he mumbled. "I had no idea a catha dwells in this Mansion." He proceeded as he shifted his gaze and scanned the room."She's the reason why everything came to pass, the reason we all had to mourn... she needs to pay!"His gaze didn't leave the room as he examined it. "The priests are really slacking." He murmured with a bored tone. When his stare swerved to her, Alexandra rapidly shifted backward and diverted her
Still startled, Lexi spun gradually to peek at Dominic. His appearance ceased changing a few years back which was odd, and as funny as it seemed his style of dressing hasn't changed.She gulps softly,"Ah, That's- I mean I didn't know you were back." She laughs a little, nervously. She wasn't supposed to be afraid of her guard, but Dominic was different. A call from outside tugged Katherine's scrutiny and she went outside, Robert, the recreant, just took the jar-ed flower and left, but after throwing her an insignificant smile.Old Traitor!"The mistress, why didn't I know I had one?" His voice was deep and intimidating, something a guard shouldn't be showing to his Master.And as if receiving the courage all of a sudden, Alexandra held up her chin,"Don't leave before me again, Mr. Lambert, I could get you fired for your incompetence." She said with composure, raising her gown with her hands she stepped out of the cabin, leaving Dominic behind.Dominic just smirked, coldly. He shuffl
