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
"What information did you find about the Ginnak?" Dominic asked Simon, the Ginnak was proclaimed to be found ten years ago, and until now the body it possessed hasn't been found. Since it's been ten years it also means its power would start manifesting, the Ginnak and the body it possessed had already become one. And that was bad news, especially to Dominic."Nobody has heard the news of the Ginnak since it was proclaimed years ago, and the new head of priest elected is very tight-lipped. It's as if a body wasn't possessed. It's quite strange, and knowing the Ginnak, it isn't something to stay too long without causing wreckage." Simon said, his eyes wandering around Dominic's room. Their aim hasn't been accomplished and it's almost time for him to leave Magnus's Mansion. No ample information was received throughout these years, now it's time to take matters into their hands."The new head of priests is quite calculating and cunning, he appears ordinary to everybody but with one look I
"Arrghh!" Alexandra groaned as she slammed her foot on a rock. Sprinting from home at night wasn't a good idea, but she had to, Karina was one of her few friends. She didn't even understand how she got past the guards, departing the Mansion unnoticed wasn't common. She held her gown up to prevent it from mud, she didn't bring any additional with her.The distance between her house and Karina's wasn't little, but she remembers the way through the backyard, and the backyard was the easiest footpath to get there quickly.Before she left she had noticed the maid from earlier fretting, and she was acting strangely. Her quivering fingers held something which she didn't know what it was since she was in a haste.To make her situation worse, she forgot the lantern she had said to haul with her. Everywhere was dark, well except the moon. She was sure the moon wouldn't shine the next day.After wandering for an extent, she finally caught sight of Karina's house. Lamps were lit everywhere and so
[Present]"Ivanna? Young Master Xander is calling you." Sarah softly patted Ivanna's face to wake her up. It was an early hour of the day, so Ivanna doubted what he wanted her for."Where is he?""At the Lachlan's study, it's located second corridor east.""Ok."Ivanna stood up from the cramped space she slept in and walked out of the room. Sarah was an early riser, no doubt.The path to Lachlan's study was narrow and a bit dark, but Ivanna was familiar with the routes of the mansion.As she stood in front of the study, she contemplated on what anguish thoughts were running through the young master's head at that moment. He was a psychopath."Come in," She heard a voice say when she didn't even knock. This bewildered her a little, she had forgotten how highly sensitive he was.She turned the handle of the door west and the door opened. The study was pitch black, however, the familiar scent of old made her feel at home. But not for long."Young Master Xander," Ivanna leaned as she gree
Southern empire.As night settled, Sarah contemplated what to do. She had no idea why young master Xander left her at Lachlan's household.With a mop and pail in her hand, she made her way toward the deserted study. It was said to be a favorite place of their granddaughter before she disappeared, which was then abandoned. She was instructed to arrange the study since her disappearance anniversary was fast approaching.It didn't scare her that the study was located in a secluded area, the path to the study was even dark. After being the first young master's pet for a long time, she could endure any scare.The door to the study made a screeching sound as she turned the handle west. Her footsteps were light on the ground. This room wasn't supposed to be a room the entire Mansion's maid had to be afraid of. Some of the maids even speak of seeing the ghost of the lost granddaughter.As reckoned, the study had been crammed with dust and cobwebs. She placed the lantern on top of a table to g
Somewhere far away.Inside a dark cave sat a woman not older than thirty. Her hair was all white and her face pale. Beside her stood a tall man."We've found traces of her soul." The man reported. "It's now confirmed she didn't die during that last war. Her primordial spirit escaped."The woman didn't reply as she stared into the darkness."And I've assigned a few men to dig further." The man concluded.The woman sighed a little. "How long would it take to recover her Soul? We have to possess a body with it before time runs out." She asked."A month, maximum.""Good. Don't make a mistake. The Ginnak needs to end what she couldn't decades ago." As she spoke, a brutal glint shined in her eyes, making her appear scarier.The man bowed and exited her presence.As the cave became quiet, she snapped her fingers, causing light to fill the once-dark cave. A man that had been standing silently against the wall walked closer to the woman with a smirk."I told you her soul wasn't dead. She was a
(Past)"Who took it?" His voice was frighteningly deep, his eyes cast on the file before him. "Who among the maids was an accomplice?" He didn't need to investigate for him to know a maid was an accomplice. He could hear the hard knocking by Alexandra on her door, latching her inside her compartment wasn't the best option but he had made sure to stifle the clatter."Karina Tyler, Sir, the maid came into the Mansion a few days ago. She's a loyal servant of Karina." He informed. He drifts his gaze to the file in Dominic's hand, the files embezzled were files an enemy shouldn't lay eyes on."How's the girl, the blackwink's girl?" Dominic asked, knowing who took the file, it wouldn't be that arduous to get them back."She's on the run, sir, her house got burnt and her parents killed. Her old man knew all this was about to happen.""Her father?" He cocked his head at Simon, he whirl the pen in his hand as he stared at him."Yes, she's a daughter of a descendant of one of the greatest seers
"You left your room, why?" Her door opened and a rough voice spoke. The voice had startled Alexandra who had prepared to doze on her bed.After being caught by Dominic badmouthing him, she immediately apologized and ran into the Mansion with Michael. After conveying courtesies with the rest of the people in Magnus's Mansion, Michael was then given room to rest.Lexi gulped a little and shifted her gaze to the side."Oh…that, I wanted some fresh air- I mean I fell from my window. Gosh…my back would have been crushed if it wasn't for Michael." She nods her head at Dominic as if telling him to accept what she said."And the shredded curtains?" He referred to the ripped curtains on the ground. Shit! She had forgotten to conceal them."Rats! Yes, rats, I found a few in my room earlier today, and it was horrifying." By the look in his eyes, she knows she shouldn't lie anymore, he already knows everything."I'm sorry I badmouthed you earlier, trust me it wasn't an intention. And I didn't kno
