***Ava*** Two Years Later. My single sole paired black pointed stilettos click clacked on the clean porcelain tiled floor of Hotel Eva. The sound of my steps echoed on the hotel lobby, adding to the TV noise that was there. A big white beautiful chandelier hung from the high ceiling, the lights giving the lobby a luxurious appearance. It had many lampshades with golden details all around it, bringing out a touch of luxury. I wore a white blouse paired with a plaid midi skirt above black stockings. A diamond bezel necklace hung on my neck, layered with a slightly longer bar drop necklace.

Someone, because it was not only girls who would be purchased, the same was true for boys as well. It was not that all the werewolves were bad and all the Maids would suffer the same kind of behaviour. Some of them were good as well. Like the one who purchased Sophia Clinton, Sophie's elder sister. Even though three years have passed and no one has ever seen Sophia again, she would usually keep on writing some letters once every year and would also send a little bit of money. This naturally showed that she was favoured by the werewolf and had a good life over there.

"They have, ever since she was born." Cassandra set the little serpent among the piles of gold coins. The creature sagged in defeat and exhaustion after lying before that terrible fire. "There it is," Vasilisa's voice came from behind a mountain of walnut-sized raw rubies. It wasn't hard to find the book. It was placed on a golden stand in between two golden Sirin statues. The grimoire turned out to be the largest book Cassandra had ever seen, with pages made of parchment illuminated with tracery, and it was open to a page thickly covered with elegant, intricate writing.

agreed the second maid, her voice barely above a whisper. “Perhaps it's her striking white hair or the way she carries that bird everywhere she goes,” speculated the first, her curiosity piqued. “Maybe, but did you notice her frequent injuries? First, the nosebleed, and now this cut,” observed the second maid, her brows furrowed in thought. I remained undisturbed by their speculations, secretly pleased that they hadn't uncovered my true identity. Their belief that I had accidentally cut myself was far more preferable than them discovering my dread of silver.

“For training.” I smiled despite myself. “Tell her thank you.” The maid hesitated. “Actually…” “What?” “She said not to thank her.” I frowned. “Why?” “You’ll understand later.” Strange… very strange. That evening, I wandered into the library again, this time not to read but because I wanted silence. I returned yesterday’s books. The librarian smiled nervously. “I found something else you may enjoy.” He placed a slim volume before me. It wasn’t about kings or bloodlines or prophecies. Its title read; Forgotten Women of the First Kingdom.

Then she replaced Rosamund carefully on the shelf. “I will come back.” Not I cannot have it. I will come back. I looked at the title again. A Season for Lady Rosamund. Two coins. Secondhand bookshop beneath a white feather near the fountain. Then I looked at Ailis. “Mara was first.” I understood. The bookseller wrapped Mara.

I don't even know if the prince has magic, all that was written in the book, was that he has a lot of mana. I watched in awe as the large crystal held by the three maids disintegrated with every warm drop of water that fell out

He may regret his actions later, but for now, all I could do is to help him forward and hope that he doesn't fall. I put him in the back seat, he laid there till I drove to his house. The house was a magnificent structure, towering over the other homes in the neighborhood like a king surveying his domain. Its walls were made of the finest stone, imported from a distant quarry, and its roof was made of pure copper, polished to a bright shine.
