Before Martha could take any further action, she was suddenly thrown to the ground with great force. Martha was shocked as well as Harmony and they turned their heads towards the personLucy stood before them, both hands in the air as the rain drenched her clothes and her glistening gold hair was damp. She glanced at Harmony who still laid weakly on the groundDarian who was behind her rushed over to Harmony whose expression looked pitifulMartha lounged forward, approaching them with great speed but then, she let out a shriek and violently shook on the floorHarmony watched with wide eyes as Martha screamed in pain, her body slowly disintegrating into thin airHarmony still couldn't believe what had happened, Martha was dead...she couldn't find an explanation for herself as to what was currently happeningWith amiable movement, he carried her from the ground, not minding the mud stain on her bodyHarmony wasn't in her right mind to say a word as she was still struck by what happened,
Harmony's senses seemed to be returned to her when she felt something warm and fluffy brush against her palm. She then stared at him and her heart skipped when she met his gaze. He was intensely staring at her, with his hand holding the towel as he wiped the stain off"Milord..." Carmen who had just walked inside the room greeted, her eyes almost widened at seeing Darian bending down in front of Harmony"Harmony's not feeling quite well, prepare a warm bath and help her get cleaned""Yes, milord" Carmen said watching Darian stand up and he handed her the towel before walking out of the roomCarmen then rushed over to Harmony hearing the sound of the door being shut from behind "Harmony, are you okay? What happened out there?" Harmony's eyes instantly turned dewy and Carmen seeing this, hugged her and gently patted her back...."I travelled to Ruldshire and I found out who she was, her name is Martha Gravel, a maid and caretaker at the blue house" Vlad said to Darian whose eyes were c
"I'll help you dry your hair" Carmen said to Harmony whose hair was dripping wet, wanting to take hold of the towel which laid on the bed"T-there's n-no need, Carmen. I'll do it myself""Are you sure?" Carmen asked and Harmony weakly nodded "There's an ointment on the top shelf, apply it on the wounds on your wrist. I'll leave then, take care Harmony""Yes" Carmen waved a bye before leaving the room. Harmony sat on the bed and stared blankly at the ointment on the shelfHer hands reached out to get it when the door made a squeaky sound and someone stepped inHarmony's head raised up to meet face-to-face with Darian who was now in a dark robe, his hair was disheveled and fell to the side a bitWithout a word, he walked towards her and Harmony's hand went to her lapDarian's smooth hands reached over to the ointment and he went to sit besides her. Harmony didn't raise her head up, instead stared at her hands"Your hand" he said, his baritone voice sounded besides her ear and Harmony fe
The towel glided slowly through her hair and when he was done, his hand slowly smoothened it. Harmony couldn't explain her reaction when he caressed her hair, her mouth slightly opened as she stared at him"T-thank you for your help, master Darian" Harmony said, her voice almost coming out as a whisper "That lady...s-she looked-" Harmony didn't know if she should say it, the lady from earlier looked like the one she saw in the hallwayDarian looked at her, his whole attention directed on what she had to say"What is it?""N-no, it's nothing..." Harmony lightly shook her head as she tried to compose her mind. They was something strange about that lady and she knew something was off about her, she remembered how Martha was thrown harshly to the ground"Don't ponder on the thought for too long, Harmony. Get some rest" Darian stood up from the bed and walked towards the door "Good night, Harmony""G-good night, master Darian" getting her reply, he walked out Seeing him go out, she laid
>>> Hello readers, decided to make this chapter extra for y'all. Please do consider voting 🥰🥰>>>The moon light illuminated through the half closed window on the girl on the bed. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead and her head violently shook to the sides. A mere sight and one could tell the girl was having a nightmareA little girl laid on the bed with her eyes closed and her chest heaving softly, indicating she was asleep. Suddenly, a hand came from the side, grabbing a pillow and placing it aggressively on her face"Mhmm" the little girl jolted awake from the lack of oxygen and she struggled as she was finding it hard to breathe "Ahmmm...mu-um""WHY WON'T YOU DIE!!?"Harmony jolted from the bed, her face holding a look of shock, fear and confusion. Her breathing got irregular and her hand held her chest. She breathed in and out, trying to catch her breathShortly, her breathing became steady and her eyes closed for a brief moment"A dream... it's just a dream" she said, try
Sarah had a swollen look on her face as she walked behind Darian and Harmony, with Lennox holding the bows and arrows beside her. She fumed within herself and she glared at their backs, she had brought up the idea in hopes that she would spend time with him but he just had to invite the servant. Her face brightened as an idea popped up in her head"Ow..." she screamed holding onto her ankle, a painful look on her face"What happened?""I think I twisted my ankle" her face held a hidden smile as she feigned a painful look. She had high hopes that Darian would carry her"If that's the case, then you can't go hunting anymore. Lennox would escort you back" Darian simply said and her lips turned into an angry pout"You care about me so much, Lord Darian" she said glancing at Harmony "I think I can manage, it's just a wramp...I can walk""You hurt your leg, lady Shirley would blame me if the wound worsens. Lennox " he called out to the butler "Escort her back to the palace "Sarah turned to
The moment his hand landed on her waist, she almost jolted as if electrocuted by something. She felt flutters in her stomach and then her heart drumming rapidlyShe could feel her heart starting to face wildly and she wondered if he could hear the wild drumming of her heartHer breath hitched when he spoke next to her ear, blood suddenly rushed to the tip. "Close one of your eyes, Harmony" Harmony did as he said but couldn't get rid of the burning sensation she felt(What is this feeling?) she asked herself, her mind travelling miles away from what they were doing"Now, shoot" Darian said and Harmony didn't seem to hear him, she looked dazed as she stared at the treeDarian wonder what had gotten her mind occupied that she failed to hear him. Moving his lips closer to her ear, he whispered"Release the arrow, Harmony" the unexpected voice that came right through her ear shocked Harmony and her finger left the arrowThe wooden arrow had landed right at the target, a perfect aim"Hmm,
Harmony sighed in relief as she kept the bucket aside. She had just finished cleaning the hallway with the little help of Carmen"Glad that's over, our work's done for today. Let's get some sleep" Carmen said, stifling out a yawn"Hmmm " Harmony agreed and was about to walk with her when Lennox arrived"Sir Lennox" they both greeted the stoic looking butler with a low bow"The Lord is attending a soiree tonight and he has asked for your company, put on this dress and await his arrival downstairs" Lennox said handing her the dress and he walked away"W-what is the dress for?" Carmen asked, looking at the cloth wrapped in a pink wrapper "Not minding the dress, the Lord had asked you to go along with him to a soiree!" Carmen said unbelievably. A maid attending a soiree along with the Lord of Zludac!Harmony was as puzzled as Carmen was, she had no words to let out as she just stared at the wrapper in her hand"Come on, I'll help you put it on"....Harmony glanced at her reflection in th
