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."
Chapter 43The woman charged towards Beatrice grabbing her arm and twisting it back.Beatrice might have lost her powers but she was not stupid to let her face fall in a fight.With one push she gave the woman, made her stumble back and Beatrice slapped her again.The sound resounded in the whole backyard and the woman stood still, her hand on the cheek Beatrice had slapped.Looking up, Beatrice's eyes widened to see the woman's eyes turning yellow.Melinda stood up as well.Knowing that her sister had lost her power, Beatrice could not fight an Omega who looked like she would tear her apart once her crawls were out."Enough!" Came the thick deep voice which got the two women looking up to see the Lord with the Duke and a Councilman.Beatrice looked up and sighed.It was the Lord and he was not looking happy at all.He had a frown on his face as his eyes met hers and he looked away."What is the matter?" It was the Councilman that walked in front of the Lord and the Duke of Nalish."I
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
