Sarah clutched onto her cutlery as she glared at the well fried beef. The table was quiet and only the sound of the cutleries clashing against the plates could be heard"How's it going with Vincent?" Lady Shirley asked, breaking the silence that surrounded the room"Haven't heard from him" Samael answered. His eyes moving to glance at his sister who was unusually quiet "Pay him a visit. Knowing him fully well, he would probably be at 'The Garden'" She said to Samael and he nodded"Mum, why don't I-" Sarah stopped when she saw the glare passed by her mother"Don't Sarah. You've been more than enough humiliation for the day. Let your brother handle Vincent""Humiliation? Mum, it was that slave's fault for spilling water on me""You should have been more reserved. How can you downgrade yourself by arguing with a servant. How do you expect the Lord to take a liking to you?""What was I supposed to do then?""Act ladylike. Follow the royal etiquette" Sarah had no words to defend herself.

Harmony walked with fast steps into the kitchen, her hand tightened into a fist on her chest. She let out a breath of relief as she recalled what happened in the dining. The way he had called her name actually sent shivers down her spine and the moment he had touched her hair made her...nervous"Harmony..." Carmen called "What's the matter?" Harmony shook her head in response as Carmen walked towards her. It was then Harmony realised she was holding a brown book. Carmen stretched the book forward, handing it over to her"What is it?" Harmony questioned, her hand moving to take the book"There, you'll find the reason behind those red eyes, I just thought you should know the people you work for" Carmen said, her lips curling into a kind smile which Harmony gladly returned "Thank you""No worries, just behave natural after reading. You might not understand all there is in there, so you can ask me if you get confused ""Hmm"....Sitting on the neatly made bed with legs crossed and a bro

Darian eyes were fierce as he stared at the red haired man who stood before him. His hands were tucked in his pocket and his red eyes scanned the room "What's with that look?" the red haired asked, walking towards Darian's bed and with a sigh, he sat down "Thought all your maids had gotten acquainted to seeing me around here. Came across a certain someone in the hallway""What did you find?" Darian asked, not responding to what he had said"Nothing " he answered "I travelled to the North, found nothing. They seem to be on a low for now"Darian eyes moved away from the man on the bed before moving over to the door. The door to the room opened and Lennox walked in"Milord, the carriage is ready" he informed with a bow before glancing at the man on the bed"The loyal servant " the red haired man said with a chuckle, slowing getting up"Sir Vladimir" Lennox said with a serious look on his face and then he excused himself. Darian stood up from the chair and put on his black coat and he pa

"Put it on" Darian said to her and she did. Handing the maid the kerchief, his hand left hers and went into his pocket. The warmth she had felt from his palm totally dissipated the moment he left her hand "Follow me"Harmony trailed behind him as he walked past the entrance heading outside. In front stood a luxurious carriage with two neat horses at the frontThe coachman moved to open the door and he bowed his head seeing the Lord approach the carriage. Darian came to an halt and he turned around to face her, he stretched his hands forward and Harmony stared at his palm. This was unusual and...uncomfortable She slowly placed her hand on his and he helped her in the carriage before getting in. Harmony didn't know if it was right for a lowly servant to be sitting in the same carriage with the Lord Harmony looked out the window as the carriage started moving, this was actually her first time in a carriage and she had a tinge of excitement bubbled up in her...Stepping down from the c

Harmony stared down at her feet as she sat down in the carriage, she bent her feet to the side as she stared at the sandal and a small smile appeared on her lips The carriage came to a sudden stop and Harmony almost fell forward at the abrupt stop if not for the warm hands that grasped her arm"Careful" he simply said and glanced out the window. Stepping down, he walked towards the front The coachman's eyes were wide open and white foam spilled from the corner of his lips. An arrow stilled at his chest Harmony who had stepped down from the carriage couldn't stop the low gasp that escaped her lips"He's been poisoned" Darian said as his keen eyes scanned the trees. He unceremoniously held her hand and dragged her towards the forest"Milord, wh-what happene-" she wasn't able to complete her question when he passed her a look. His eyes had a dangerous glint in them and he released such a cold and menacing aura Harmony kept quiet and just let him pull her along with him. His steps bec
