“Milady? Who are you talking about, Lady…?” The man left the sentence mid-way waiting for the girl to answer him.However, instead of answering him what he wanted, Miranda shook her head. “I apologize, kind Sir. I am not in a place to answer your questions, especially when I am suspicious about all people, including you until I meet the Lord. I hope you will understand the predicament I am in.” Miranda said with a helpless smile, hoping that the man would not give up on her just because she did not give him what he wanted.The man nodded at her, his eyes staring somewhere far behind her. He seemed to be lost in thoughts. ‘T

Eldrick and Kolan left the room and went outside. Oakley was standing beside Raelynn and Laurier and they were involved in a deep discussion. Even the crowd seemed to be whispering among themselves as there were murmurs heard everywhere.As soon as they saw the Lord walk out, his expression solemn and cold, everybody shivered in their places. It had been

“Yes, Milord. He is in the fourth person from the left in the fifth row. He is wearing a teal-colored coat.” The Lord did not turn back immediately to see who Darcio was talking about. He nodded at the boy with a small smile. “Return to your chair and do not look at the ministers anymore. Also, after a few minutes, pretend as if you are bored and drift off to sleep.” Eldrick ordered and the boy agreed to do as he was told.The two returned to their chairs and faced the confused audience, once again. Only this time, the boy seemed to be disinterested in whatever was happening around him.

The priest sprinkled the holy water on Sir Fergus’s body while he chanted the hymns. Many people had gathered at the graveyard to give their respects to the man one last time. Even Raelynn and Laurier were present as they mourned the death of their trusted one. ‘I am sorry, dear friend.’ Eldrick’s eyes teared up seeing the man now lying in a coffin. His body had been cleaned thoroughly and he was clad in fresh clothes. The man’s body had lost its color and seeing him laying this way, made Eldrick to lose control. ‘I couldn’t protect you well and you had to bear the consequences of someone’s desires and cunning plot. I hope you will forgive me, dear friend.’The priest was done with his chants and he looked at the

Talay took Miranda to his mansion and the girl was surprised to see his house. It was bigger than she had expected, even bigger than her Lady's house. Although she knew that the man worked for Lord Eldrick, she had no idea that he was this capable and rich. ‘This man is not normal. I need to be wary of him.’ She thought inwardly as she continued to follow the man. As soon as Talay stepped inside the manor, the maids saw him and they immediately hurried to inform his presence to his mother.“My mother could be a little overwhelming. I am meeting her after a month or so. Don’t be scared if she appears overly enthusiastic.” Talay warned and Miranda nodded at him. “Also, I hope you will remove your disguise.
