Chapter 35When Beatrice's eyes opened again, she was tied to a tree.When she tried to look down...her eyes widened seeing how tall the tree was."Our honorable guest is finally awake." The woman was seated on a broom and was hanging in the air.Beatrice could recall the first time her mother had removed the head of a witch from its body.That time she was playing in their backyard, picking apples when she was told not to... giving the apples to her cat who would lick and throw without chewing.The witch had flown into their compound, crossing the boundary.She could recall how it scratched her mother's arm making the woman to be vexed thereby leading to its death.Her mother had wanted to let it live but no..it was so stubborn that it was hell-bent on killing her mother."Witches like this one are never a good omen, when you see them...you kill them." That were her mother's words."I am going to kill you." Beatrice sneered at the witch on the broom."Who would believe you that you g
Chapter 36"She should run far away I guess." The Lord said, a smile creeping to his lips as he settled her down on the chair and that was when Beatrice knew that they had arrived at the Lord's mansion.She looked around and sighed.It was the same bathroom. "Milord?" She called to see him turn to her."Can I use another bathroom? I feel like the room is slowly turning to mine." She said.He said nothing, going to the tub and pressing the Bulls head to see the water go down the tub."Is there a problem with this one?" He asked."No.""Then you're using it." He said not wanting any more talk concerning the matter.Beatrice sighed, as she could not do anything.Her body was weak and there was no way she'd be able to fight the Lord.And as if something had flashed in her mind, she looked up and her eyes widened."You were there, why didn't you help me?" She asked."You handled it pretty well.""You were going to watch them hang me dry for a sacrifice," Beatrice said and the Lord nodded.
Chapter 37Her eyes widened to see what was around her and she gasped leaving the mirror to shatter on the floor.Standing up from the tub she looked at the mirror on the floor, her hand going to her chest as she held it.She was suddenly unable to breathe.The door flung open and all she could see before she blacked out was the Lord running to her.********Beatrice's eyes were blinking as she turned to see the lights in the room.She was on the bed and the Lord was by her side.She sighed trying to get up but she couldn't.She didn't know what to say or how to explain what she had seen with her eyes in the mirror.It was extremely powerful and she felt like she was going to die if she had not dropped the mirror."Are you alright?" She heard the Lord ask as she turned to him again and nodded her head."Wasn't she in the bath just now before that thing happened? She was naked, right? And she had seen the Lord running towards her before she had blacked out in the water.Her eyes widene
Chapter 38Beatrice woke up again for the third time in the night.Her head was throbbing so hard that she could not fall asleep.What was that dream about?She could recall some parts with he mother but they were faint memories.What was this she was dreaming about?Was she recalling her little memories? Where are they coming from as dreams? She wondered, scratching her head as she stood up from the bed and walked to the patio.Standing by the patio and holding the rails tight..she looked down the mansion to see someone standing there with a candle.She frowned and looked down again and there was no one there.How strange! She thought as she turned to go back into her room only to gasp as the person she had seen was right in front of her."Who are you?" She asked."It is me you seek but cannot find. Seems you do not need me now. Find me and you shall seek!" The person said and just as she was about to touch the clothing of the person...she woke up again and gasped.It was just a drea
Chapter 39Beatrice sighed as she got ready for the training she had with the Lord.Walking to the mirror to see how beautiful she was...she blinked at the mirror and just as she was about to look away..she felt an incredible pull and darkness consumed her.••••"Such a beautiful sword.""Do not touch little Beatrice. Daddy would not be pleased." Her mother said and she nodded, admiring the sword that was placed on the table."Who does it belong to Mother? I thought it was yours." Beatrice said to have her mother sigh."It doesn't belong to any sweetie. It is our family heirloom. The greatest heirloom there is in the world.""Heirloom?" She looked at her mother with something in her eyes.Excitement could be seen as she smiled at the word."Hmm." Her mother nodded. "It is our heirloom.""That means.. it will belong to me in the future." She said.Her mother's eyes darkened and she shook her head."It isn't passed down Beatrice. You will have to earn the power to be able to use it. It
Chapter 40"Isn't this another kind of swordmaster?" Beatrice asked as she waved her sword in the air, slicing as if slicing the wind to get an amount of water to fall on the ground."You're becoming good at it. I have never seen a learner this fast. Maybe because it is in your blood." He said to have her smile as her cheek reddened.After being in such proximity to the Lord at the bath, Beatrice had become more aware of the man.Each word he said was registered in her heart."In learning about the characteristics of a swordsman, you'd have to know the kind you're learning. Dancing with the wind or controlling fire her the one best swordmasters do." He said and she nodded."So does that mean that I just danced with the wind?" She asked to see him nod."Wow." She nodded, a smile crossing her features and he smiled as well."What about the other one?""That would be for another day." He said and she nodded."You said you would gift me this one if I won the game.""And you didn't." He sa
Chapter 41One hour later and they were already present at Sir Raymond's birthday, given how the man was always peaceful with everyone...she could see different faces of both people she detested and people she preferred."What a beautiful party. The man has such a unique taste in fashion." Herbert said to have Beatrice nod.The hallway was decorated in patterns and Beatrice sighed as she heard the words of the woman.Such women were docile and weak and had nothing to show to the people but to only talk about anything and everything that went past them."Aren't you bothered about what they would say about you and the Lord?' Herbert asked and Beatrice rolled her eyes."Many have talked Lady Herbert. It would do nothing if they kept talking like they all do." Beatrice said to have the woman nod."I heard from Melinda that you haven't been at home for two days straight. Where have you been then?" It was Lady Yuan who asked as she pushed a glass of drink towards Beatrice seeing that her o
Chapter 42Beatrice and the rest of them had gone out of the Mansion where the party was taking place to receive fresh air at the back of the Mansion.Although they were many people at the back, drinking to their satisfaction, it was not as crowded as inside the Mansion."The Lord seems to be having fun," Mel said as she sipped her wine gracefully."He has to have fun dear Melinda. After all, he's the Lord and not some man that sits on his couch all day doing nothing. He works hard for the land, he should have fun when he wants to." Yuan said."What have you been up to Beatrice? Grandpa Pablo had been so worried before he left for Nalish.""I have been learning how to fight and I am so good at it," Beatrice said, with a smile."Good at what? Fight?""Fighting with the sword," Beatrice said and Melinda nodded with an ohh...look."Aunt was also good at the sword. Everyone in our family was good with swords. Well... except me who doesn't fancy it." Melinda said with a roll of her eyes."
