Gretel, alongside Sharon, was perched under a tree. Dawn was unraveling."So, you want me to help get the Ginnak out of the palace? I thought you got her when you entered the palace disguised as Simon's sister?""I thought they believed me until I was outsmarted. And you know, I'm not powerful enough to fight Dominus to take the Ginnak.""Outsmarted you? How?"Sharon smiled.[Many Hours Ago]Inside the Palace.Before Simon took Sharon away, he and Dominus made eye contact, and communication flew through. Simon nods his head ever so lightly, he picked Sharon and took her away.Simon strolled on steady breathing and placed her inside a room, despite her weak struggles.Unknown to her, the room was laced with ashes. Foam ashes. After Simon dropped her inside the room, he hurried out and locked the door. And then he crossed the door with the same ashes.After returning to the basement, he went to a corner with Dominus."She isn't my sister," Simon breathed out."I know." Was all Dominus c
"Have you found the way out yet?" Marleen asked for the thirteenth time. After spending two days at the abandoned building with Forsyth, she became hungry.The doppelganger left no food."The doors can't be smashed open, even if I break it, we'll find ourselves in an unknown land. And that's because of the spell." "All this sounds strange to you, right?" He cocked his brow. He was talking about magic and the others.He didn't have to learn she wasn't, so she nodded."And I can't communicate with the outside world, Fuck this!"Marleen would have communicated if her energy wasn't blocked by the spell."The Palace must be searching for you now, My Prince, and Ava must be worried about me."Forsyth signed as he rest his back on the wall. He was frustrated. His eyes wandered the room and fell on Marleen, who was already panicking. What happened two days ago flew into his mind, it suddenly made him warm. His eyes were fixed on her lips, and subconsciously, she sucked her lower lip from frus
Robert was coughing. "I don't think I will tell you about the First Ginnak today, I don't feel good."Alexandra who had sat on her favorite spot groaned inaudibly. She was happy when he decided to tell her, but all of a sudden he appeared unwell. She was sure he was fine a few seconds ago."That's alright, Robert. I'll go prepare some soup for you." Saying this, Lexi raised and trotted towards the door. She glanced over her shoulder, only to find Robert staring at her with a meaningful look. She felt strange and exited the door.The Mansion seemed quiet and lifeless to Alexandra, although there were guards and servants, she was already used to Dominic's presence."Miss Bernard," A familiar voice called. It was Micheal."Michael," She stepped towards him with a smile on her face. Her face flushed a little when he caught her looking at him. "A-are you heading somewhere?" He was fully clothed."I have a few errands to run. So, how are you?" A small smile was on his lips. He seemed tired
Yohan's complexion got pale. But it took him a few seconds to recover before bursting into laughter. "I knew the minute I saw you that there was something odd about you. At first, I was curious about why a Duke's son became a servant. But now…" He trailed as he smirk."What do you really want?" Thomas sighed as he asked."To know what you really are. You're different. For you to go unnoticed for years under Dominus's nose, you sure are clever and rare.""What? You thought bringing me here would do you good? Being an ecdysiast has messed with your brain." Thomas stated."Did your research, huh?""Didn't have to."Yohan laughed. "I like you already."Thomas didn't say anything and stood up. Anger spur inside him, if not for the big table separating them, he would have made sure to shove his head on the rigid wall. He stepped away from his chair and turned around to leave."Wait," And Thomas halted. "I just want to ask you one thing,"Thomas waited but didn't turn around. And Yohan conti
Forsyth sat on a chair near his window, he had a stick between his lips as he gazed out of the window. The weather was musky and chilling. It was pouring.His door slid open and Sean stepped inside. He was drained."What the Fuck, Forsyth," He walked nearer to Forsyth and grabbed him by the collar, his eyes were blazing. "Who the Fuck put that idea in your skull?"Forsyth did nothing to get Sean's hand off him. He gave him a blank look which made Sean more annoyed. "Why did you do that? Huh?" Sean was furious.Yet, Forsyth did not attempt to speak. So, Sean flung him across the room. Forsyth hit the wall with a bang.Forsyth gently stood up from the ground. "Calm down, Sean. Although I'll be very glad to snap your neck, I can't." He removed dust from his body before continuing. "That wanker Dominus is gone, and I see no reason not to burn the Mansion down. It will even save us from the Ginnak's destruction if the Ginnak girl dies." He shrugged and walked back to his chair."Don't kill
Earlier that day.Alexandra found the weather quite odd. At first, she discovered a bizarre activity around the Mansion, and now, the rain has been falling nonstop. It wouldn't have been odd if the rain falling were actual rain."I never thought shopping would be this exhausting," Mildred expressed as she stretched her arms. Alexandra had followed her to make her familiar with the places portions were bought for Robert. Since it was her job now."At First, yes. It took me a month to become accustomed to the routine. Robert was a slow teacher." She commented and Mildred burst into laughter. Everything about Lexi seemed to amuse her, even the strange look Lexi was throwing her way because of the laughter."I bet you don't want old man Robert to hear that.""Of course, Not!" And this earned another laughter from Mildred. It was one of the good laughs she had had in a while now, she couldn't have one when that evil man in need of a therapist kept disturbing her life."Where does that lead
The carriage slowly trotted into the Mansion with the help of Alexandra. Mildred glanced at the sleeping man in her front. He was sleeping with his eyes open.Weird.But that's what he told her.He was looking at her, they were already at the palace, and yet, he wasn't even trying to hide the stunt he pulled.Some guards ran towards them when they saw Alexandra on the wheels. But she instructed them to take Forsyth to Robert's cabin.Mildred excused herself and left for her room to freshen up. She opened her door and hurried toward the bathroom. She needed to wash Forsyth's scent off her body.Under the shower, her mind drifted back to the scene at the carriage. She noticed a conflicted emotion in his eyes…like he was trying not to do something he didn't really want to.But her heart shattered when he told her he was sorry. She didn't really know what he meant. She walked out of her bathroom after wiping her body dry and headed for her cabinet.Minutes later she was dressed. She stepp
"Wait," Forsyth said, delaying Robert. He settled himself on the bed in a comfortable manner. "Since I'll be glued here with no fun stuff to do -besides killing that little bitch- I think it's fair to tell me more about yourself. I mean, this self- this body, the reason you created this appearance. I bet it will also keep you entertained after living in this boring house for years."He gestured to Robert with his finger to pass him the bottle of wine on the shelf. Robert had kept it there for cleansing purposes, but Forsyth doesn't mind drinking it. As far as it's alcohol."And what makes you think I'll agree to that?" Robert cocked his old brows.Forsyth shrugged his shoulders. "I think you know me, or you wouldn't have let me live for a second. By the looks of things, you're cruel. In a good way though." He then smiles cheekily at Robert."Trying to have your way with your sly words, aren't you?""Is it working?" His smile slowly turned to a grin."It is…not.""That's better, I thou
