Ella washed the dishes while isolating herself from the others who had shown dislike for her from the first day she started work.
As much as she tried not paying attention to them, she couldn't help it as their whispers could be heard and their annoying giggle.
"The Death lord is a snack, I am so filled now that I took a glimpse of him. He is so sexy!" One of the maids squealed with excitement laced on her tone.
"You know, I really want to see his eyes, I'm sure they must be adoring," The other maid said.
After the incident that happened two days ago, Ella was told the do's and don't of Narlands and one of it was to never look at the eyes of the Death lord.
The thought annoyed her, was he a god or what? She was told looking at his eyes was a mean of daring him to do his worse. She was also told to not be caught saying mean things about the Death lord for he was the savior
Ella followed the rest of the maid into the dinning room. She was nervous, she was starting to find it hard to breath.Once they entered the big dinning room with a long table and over 15 chairs surrounding the table, her eyes widened. She had never seen a dinning room this big before with beautiful wallpaper beautifying the room. A chandelier was hunged at far end of the ceiling with unique decorations that were captivating to the eyes.Twitching her eyes, she looked away, gently placing the dishes on the table before the arrival of the Death lord. As soon as they were done, all the maids stood at the side of the room waiting for the Death lord arrival.After some minutes, the humongous door was opened by two guards dressed in their guard attire, then the death lord entered.Silence! Absolute silence!Nothing could be heard not even his footstep. He walked as if he was a ghost, looking at
Ella didn't make an attempt to take her eyes off. She looked at him and for a moment she felt sad for him, he was a monster.He enjoyed killing for a living as if lives could be made so easily. There was no way she'd stay in Narlands for long, she was going to leave after getting her first pay.The Death lord walked away, with the guards following him. The maids soon rushed back to the dinning room to clear the table.Once they were back to the kitchen, they started to gossip. "Lima is gone, just like that?" Cheryl spoke baffled."That suits her, next time she wouldn't misbehave in front of the Death lord and that's if there is a next time," Naomi spat out."That's true, she is always acting as if she was one step ahead of us and giving off that arrogant vibe," Layla seconded.Ella felt disappointed in them, weren't they all gossip partner? They felt no remorse over the de
Stella and Cheryl smirked when they saw Ella walking towards their directions, they had ulterior motives while approaching her.With a fake smile plastered on their face, they walked towards her. "Hi there Ella!" Stella greeted with a fake smile on her face.Ella was taken aback by their approach, neither of them has ever approached her before. She wondered what they wanted from her."Hey," she replied with a force smile on her face."We've been looking for you for a while now. The chief of maids said to give you this curtain. She said to go change the Death lord curtain," Cheryl said."What?!" Ella asked in shock. Going into the room of the Death lord was obviously out of her list. She
Ella thought for some seconds that her ears might be deceiving her. Did the Death lord just ask her to keep him company? Was he really planning to kill her? She thought."Sir...you...I mean keep you...to keep you company?" She asked to make sure she heard right, then she realised she was never to ask the Death lord questions.Before the Death lord could speak, she interrupted him. "I never meant to ask you any question, please forgive me my Lord!" She spat out as fast as she could without stuttering.For a reason the death lord felt the urge to smile, her facial expression turned out to a very lovely sight to watch. He had never found anyone this amusing before without them trying to."Aren't we friends anymore?" He asked her.Ella's eyes widened when she heard what he said. Friends? Was he drunk? She asked within herself.How could she be friends with th
Ella heart skipped, she wanted to cry. She felt like fate had curses her so that she gets into one issue or another with the Death lord."Were you paid to go around seducing men?" He accused Ella with a very deep voice which made Ella tremble.Ella eyes widened when she heard the Death lords statement. Her shoulder sagged and her heart sank.She wondered why he accused her of such when she hasn't gone around seducing any man before.She wanted to ask him questions, she wanted to ask him why he made such accusations against her but she knew that would only be putting herself in a more difficult situation.She felt cheated as she couldn't defend herself, here in Narlands, it was as if everyone tongue was sealed when speaking to the Death lord. Not being able to defend herself, she wept instead."You can't speak?" He asked. Just when he was about to speak again, he noticed th
The Death lord had invited Ella, the chief of maids, Stella and Cheryl to the blue garden. While he waited for then to come, he shot at shooting range in the blue.Ella was worried when she was told she had been invited by the Death lord to the blue garden. That moment, she wanted the ground to open and swallow her.Her heart started pounding so hard when she thought of the possibilities that she might see her end soon. She wondered how she had offended the Death lord again, or maybe he got bored and decided to kill her once and for all.She felt the urge to cry but she was tired of crying, she was tired of everything. Ever since she came to Narlands with the hope of living happier than ever, it turned out to be the opposite.
Ella opened her eyes to see the blur image of the chief of maids looking at her. She wondered if she had died and was seeing this.When her eyes finally opened brightly, she saw the chief of maids by her side. She sat down on the bed instead of lieing down. She wondered what happened because the last thing she remembered was Stella being shot by the Death lord and...."You..." She collapsed after that.She did not die, she looked at her body to see if there were any bullets in them or any injury but she realised she was fine."You are finally awake, you suddenly collapsed," The chief of maids said. Ella wondered if she was spared because she collapsed or the Death lord was waiting for her to wake up before he finally kills her.She began to cry, it was really the end of her. She wished she never came to Narlands, maybe just then she would have survived."What's wrong?" the ch
"What?!" Ella was shocked at what she heard the chief of maids say.You are so foolish Ella! You just acted like an illiterate! She said within herself with a sad expression on her face."Are you serious? So that contract I signed had something like that written?" Ella asked wanting to confirm if what she heard was true."You mean you didn't go through the contract?" The chief of maids asked her.Ella felt foolish for just signing without reading and now there was no way she'd be able to leave this kingdom until she has served for at least a year. She rubbed her face with her palm as she grumbled. I am doomed, she thought to herself."I'd take my lead then," She said to the chief of maids as she made her way out. Once she came out of the chief of maids office, she saw a familiar royal guard."Liam!" She called onto him with a smile on her face. I
