Chapter 44"Ha!" She gasped as the Lord pulled her to the bed and hovered around her. She knew it was him cause she going to smell chocolate lavender.He smelt nice as if he had just come out of the shower.Biting her lips to see the little candles had begun to shine.She frowned and looked up at the Lord whom she could now see due to the candlelight that was lit."How come...""What are you doing here?" He cut her off, placing a finger on her lips to see her eyes widen."Hmm?""I asked a question, Beatrice." He said to have her blink at him."I'm not doing anything. I was just tired and I was just going around and watching some things when I decided to come to see what you were doing."Lies. Her inner mind scolded but she remain unfazed."Hmm? Really?" The Lord mumbled, his small finger that rested on her lips had begun to trace its way down her shoulders making her tense when it went down slowly to her wrist and back to her shoulder."Milord?""Hmm..""I want to relax my arm""Aren
Chapter 45On the south side of the land, dead bodies and the stench of blood could be smelt everywhere as dead bodies were lined up and heaped on the top of the hill and the valley."Are you sure this wasn't a massacre? For the witches who had ran out of Viscoria after my cousin Wolfarine had chased them..this could be them warning us that they have arrived." The Lord or Nalish said, as he scrunched his nose for the blood was new.This was to show that the massacre had not been long.It was just thirty minutes ago or more than the time the maiden had come to the town to tell what she had seen."Are you sure she is not one of them?" The other Councilwoman asked, making the Lord of Nalish frown.He had left the woman in the Mansion only to get back from the meeting of the council to hear that she had left the Mansion to see someone.What was she doing on the hill to have seen the mysterious man she said kill this person?"We will have to ask some questions, she must tell us what she ha
Chapter 46Beatrice got to the mansion sooner than she had expected and when she did..she was welcomed by many faces that she didn't know.They were three girls seated at the front seat of the Mansion, drinking tea as they chatted away."Good day Ladies." She greeted them with a smile to have them look up and smile back."Good day, dear and who might you be looking for?" The other asked."I am the Lady of the house. Is my sister Melinda keeping you company?" She asked to see the other widen her eyes."Ha! yes. She had gone inside earlier to get something but had been there for over thirty minutes now. I tried to get in the Mansion but it turns out it was locked from the inside." The other said, making Beatrice frown as she walked to the door.Turning the knob of the Mansion, it opened and she walked inside after shutting the door close."Melinda! Olivia!" She called but got no answer.The Mansion was full of light and she could see everywhere but no one was in sight.Going up the stai
Chapter 47The evening breeze was soothing to the nerve as Beatrice sat on the chair outside.She had taken her bath and now she was waiting for the Lord who had said he would come to see her.Wondering if he was going to come as she had heard from Herbert that the council meetings took time."You should come in Milady. The wind is too Cold, I'm afraid you'll catch a Cold." Olivia said, and Beatrice shook her head."I will wait for the Lord here, you do not have to worry about me catching a cold. I'm as cold as they came." She said, and the lady hesitated before leaving her to herself.She looked up the balcony of her friend to see her seated with an older man and an older woman with another man..she recognized to be a Councilman."Beatrice." With the sound of his voice, she jerked up and turned around."Milord." She called, smiling."Look at you smiling when you should be crying. You almost died." The Lord said, walking closer to her.He raised his palm and placed it on her forehead
Chapter 48It was already night when the butler of the house stood up and walked outside the Mansion.It was time he made known to the Lady of the house what and how things were like when her parents were alive.He had watched her grow into a beautiful and well-behaved lady and he did not doubt that she was ready to listen to what he had to say."Grandpa Pablo?" He turned to the voice and his eyes widened.What was she doing out here in the middle of the night?"Why are you there Beatrice?' He asked and she shrugged."I was so tired to sleep and decided to come out here to get a fresh breeze. Didn't you see me when you came out?" She asked and he shook his head."Are you unable to sleep?" He asked, walking to where she sat and taking a seat on the marble tiles."I keep having this strange nightmare and some memories. They keep coming and they're so scary." She said and he sighed."I have to tell you something. I have to give you something." He said and she looked up at him.Beatrice k
Chapter 49Beatrice gasped.Her father was a what? And what the hell was a hybrid?She looked up for more explanation but the man was busy pushing so many things out of the way."Wait, let me help." She said and he nodded, as she picked up the small items that had fallen to the ground as he was pushing.She picked up a small golden object which turned out to be a ring as she looked at it real good."Are you okay?" He asked."It's a ring. And it has out the family emblem on it." She said and smiled."I'm taking it. It's so beautiful." She said and he nodded, not bothering to tell her to drop it.It was time she learned about everything that concerned her family.She was old enough to get married."Grandpa Pablo, can I keep this?" She asked, showing her fine palms that looked more beautiful with the rings on."If you want to." He said, walking deeper into the room and she followed."What do you want to show me?" "Something you have to know and see." Grabbing a small long wooden box fr
Chapter 50It was morning already and Beatrice walked around the mansion waiting for Melinda to get dressed.She wasn't dressed in the fancy princess way but like a lady going to war while her sheathed sword was placed behind her with a small rope that went through her neck to the sword sheath."Are you ready?" Beatrice asked, staring at her sister that had worn a thick dress and a front corset that stopped just below her front cleavage making her look like one of that Councilwoman that visits the Lord only to lure the man to bed."Why are you wearing that? Are you trying to seduce the man?" Beatrice asked to see her sister roll her eyes."The Lord is not the one I aim for but the Duke of Nalish. Ha! the man is everything one would want in a man.""And this is your best way to take the man? Seduce him?" She asked to see her sister and nodded."He is a fine man, and I am a fine woman. Who gave the rules to not seduce?" Melinda asked."Besides that. Who told you the man would be coming
Chapter 51When some people had gone home while some had stayed at the back of the house.The Lord guided Beatrice to the field and she took out her sheathed sword from her back where she had tied it with the rope at home."So this was the sword you dreamt of?" The Lord asked, running his finger across the shape edge of the sheath to see a blood stain on the sheath."Ha!" Beatrice gasped as she picked up the rope she had used to tie it and wrap his finger."Why did you do that? She asked and he smiled."Are you okay Beatrice?" He asked and she nodded."Some have powers but can not use them, some can use them but choose not to because they know how bad it would affect the world while some use them irrespective of how dangerous it is and how people die daily because of it." The Lord said and she nodded."Are you saying that mine is there but I can not use it?" She asked to see the Lord nod."Ha! I almost forgot to tell you something Lord Wolfarine." She said and walked closer to the Lor
