Chapter twenty-one

EdricI watched her walk out of her room for the first time in a few days, and it felt like there was a weight lifted off my chest.I wouldn’t say I was happy…or the opposite. Just…relieved. It was good to see something that I had done actually work. At least, this meant that I was learning every day and improving myself up to the point where I could eventually find out what was really wrong with me.And cure it.Oh, goodness, I wanted to cure it really badly.I think the next time I woke up not remembering anything but the aching presence of Bane, giving me sensations of things I might have done in my past life, including the emotions behind them, I would lose it.Completely.I waited for her to wander around the house, not going to meet her first, even though I had been virtually by her side throughout the entire ordeal. I didn’t want her to see that her health mattered to me.I didn’t want her to see that anything mattered to me. It made me feel weak. Without the proper control, I

Chapter twenty-two

DianaMy plan was simple.I remembered how sick I was. I remembered the upset stomach that the foxglove gave Edric.This meant something.While poison couldn’t kill him, he could be harmed.If he could be harmed, there’s no reason he couldn’t fall sick.I just needed him to fall sick enough to where he couldn’t chase me when I eventually decided to make my leave. This time, I could be more careful about my movements and make sure not to fall into any holes.At this point, I felt guilty even doing this, but the human penchant in me to be free was just too strong.Edric would live. I wasn’t sure I would find the need to live if I kept waking up in this old, boring mansion.And so, every day, since I was the one that prepped his meals, I added a little bit of Cangeic spice. It was a naturally occurring intoxicant, but taking it for prolonged periods, usually a week or two, consecutively, no matter how small, had its effect on the body.I knew this because sometimes, part of my punishment

Chapter twenty-three

DianaI stood there, trying to comprehend fully, what he had just said.It still sounded like some strange version of the language.“I should…I’m sorry…I…” I couldn’t even keep my eyes straight and was blinking heavily, trying to make sure that I was in reality.“I’m telling you to take this knife right now and stab me anywhere you think can kill me. If you succeed in killing me, you get everything. The house…all my gold, my wealth…everything.”I looked at him like he was mad.“And I won’t try to stop you,” he added as a cherry on top. “I won’t try to dodge or parry or whatever…”There was something comfortable about the way he talked.The confidence was chilling, downright creepy, and gave me even more reason to be scared of him.But the possibilities…As I reached out for the knife, he pulled it back, just slightly out of my reach. “However…” he tsked. “There’s a caveat. The moment you take this knife, you bind yourself to this house. You can only leave when I’m dead. But any attem

Chapter twenty-four

Diana For a while, I couldn’t fully understand what I had just gotten myself into. In fact, for the rest of that day, I stayed outside the mansion. Not far from it…just outside enough where I couldn’t hear any voices…any footsteps. It was just me and my thoughts…and the knife that Edric had given me. I was pondering, not knowing what to do with it. Should I use it to stab him again? But Muzan – the nonchalant guy – was angry when I did that. The message was clear. I shouldn’t do that. But then again, if I was going to have a solid shot at getting out of here, I would have to try some bizarre things. “Cursed with Eternal life,” I mused to myself. Muzan was pissed because I had made a deal with the devil. I had traded a long year of hard labor, for a chance at freedom, the only consequence being that I could be locked in with him for the rest of my life. I refused to accept that he couldn’t die. No one on this planet couldn’t. I just had to find the right tools to use.

Chapter twenty-five

DianaI went back into the mansion when I started getting itches. I needed to take a bath. They were wild wolves after all, and I didn’t want to get ticks or fleas.Werewolves wouldn’t mind, but not me.I minded.After a refreshing bath, I walked out to begin being bored again.I didn’t know what to do around the house, and apart from cooking, I wasn’t hard-pressed to do anything.It was almost like they had forgotten that they had brought me in to be of some domestic service to them. It got so awkward, that all I did was wander the house. It was back to me being at home, living the life of a princess…chef.A princess chef…if anything like that existed.Only this time, I wasn’t being ridiculed by anyone. The ground I walked on wasn’t spat on after I had passed, and I wasn’t getting any nasty glares.Not even from Edric.Also, he had started moving around the house a lot more…so much, that I eventually stopped running and ducking into the nearest room when I sensed him coming.However,

Chapter twenty-six

EdricI took her in for a second, not sure she was actually serious, but she had a determined look in her eye, one that said she wasn’t going to take no for an answer.I hunched my shoulders and rolled my eyes.“Come outside. If I shift here, Bane would waste no time in tearing down my library,” I motioned to her with my hands.‘You bet I will. I freaking hate this place,’ Bane growled inside me.When we reached the meadows, I watched her for some more time, trying to gauge how she felt about me. There was no emotion in her eyes.For now, she seemed to have forgotten her sorrows and the reason she was here, trapped – me.Instead in her large, almond-shaped and colored eyes, was curiosity etched so deep, it threatened to burst out of her and bite me if I didn’t do what she wanted.“You sure about this?” I asked again.She nodded enthusiastically.“Alright. Now, move a little back. Gotta give 'em time to adjust to you,” I said, buying myself time to prep for the transformation, and just

Chapter twenty-seven

DianaThe moment Edric shifted back into his human form, he closed up.He didn’t want to talk to me…or just didn’t want to talk at all, and I let him. If I was being honest, the time I had spent with his wolf was enlightening.His wolf was the opposite of him.Or, just a different side of the same coin. You could tell he possessed a lot of energy, but he had this calm to him, almost like he didn’t really know his power.He came up to me so easily, that I wondered if I posed that little of a threat, and his way of being vulnerable around me was really endearing.Even in werewolf-dominated environments, it was rare to have people interacting with their wolves, and so, I doubted I would see Bane again in such calm settings.I knew not to ask. I watched him go into the house before letting out the breath that I had been holding. You know…now that I think about it, save for the feeling of being trapped, this is a much better quality of life than the one I was getting from my father back at

Chapter twenty-eight

DianaMy morning routine was pretty simple. Take a bath, cook for Edric and Muzan (because Muzan was nice), and do the dishes after.The dishes were the hardest part.Once that was over, usually by mid-morning, I had the rest of the day to myself till dinner, when I had to cook again.I spent it in the library, doing my research about how to kill an immortal wolf.The thing is…there was no book like that.You could tell that he did spend a lot of time researching how to die since there were a lot of things here that could easily point me in the direction of death, but nothing specifically matched his case scenario.Well, I made him a promise I intended to keep, mostly because it felt like he would kill me if I didn’t.But also, because it was my biggest shot at freedom.I needed to kill him if I was going to be free, the promise of the gold and mansion notwithstanding.At least, that’s what I told myself, even though I was starting to find that this place was not so bad, after all.

Chapter twenty-nine

EdricDiana was a sport, and not in the exhausting kind of way.She was more like the wind that rushes through you when you’re mid-sprint, and it was honestly very refreshing. I spent all afternoon with her, correcting her mistakes and teaching her new words.Honestly, for the most part, she was fine.It would have been difficult for anyone to distinguish between her and a well-governed maiden.She was also sharp as a tack.I didn’t have to continually repeat myself unless she wanted to annoy me.Once we were done learning, she had gained more knowledge than any student I had ever taught."Wow," I smiled as she stood up proudly, adjusting her shirt and smiling from ear to ear before giving a long stretch. "I should begin to teach you some advanced math concepts." I joked."We could work that out," she shrugged.I didn't expect her to be so open to something as complex as math.It was even mind-boggling that she didn't flinch, especially since I explained to her, some of the things I d

Chapter thirty

DianaSomething about the way Edric started treating me unnerved me a little.If something is too good to be true, then it most likely is. I didn’t know how to explain it, but it felt uncanny.Nothing beats the feeling of knowing what someone was capable of, and seeing them manifest it.Even if it was negative, it was predictable. That was a huge plus.Edric could turn me into his unfailing slave if he really wanted to and without very much effort on his part. I was already behaviorally docile, mended from birth, and beaten to perfection. All he needed was a little coercion. And yet, he didn’t.Yet, today, he chose to smile when he saw me from afar, and he chose to raise his hands and wave.Edric the monster waved at me.It felt unreal. Of course, I waved back, but I couldn’t shake off the weird flapping in my stomach that came again. As I swept the main area of the house, where everyone would see, his smile plagued my mind.It was definitely wrong.I couldn’t bear to see him smile a
