The Lost Lady [ON HOLD]

Chapter Twelve: New Maidservants

A black and white figure could be seen strolling happily along the busy streets of the Capital City's Blinxe Market. With a basket filled with different things in her arm and a piece of strawberry pie with her other hand, the figure was scrumptiously taking bites from the pie with her dazzling and captivating eyes shining in delight.

This delightful figure who seemed to be even humming a happy tune as she walked down the crowded market place was none other than Lena.

It has already been seven days after she disappeared from the welcoming banquet. Since then, not even her shadows could be seen around. Because of this, the cold and hard General Arkus seemed to have a feeling that she finally got rid of the scourge. However, there was one thing that he couldn't quite accept.

The bastard dare to disappear with my black card!

Every time that this thought would resurface in his mind, he would snarl and grit his teeth. He thought that since the Great Advisor already took the despicable woman, he couldn't do anything about it anymore. He could only keep a deep frown on his face thinking about whether he needed to disconnect his black card to his account in the Treasury Hall or leave the matter as it is for now. He assumed that although his newfound sister was despicable, she wasn't an unreasonable bastard who would be able to spend a huge amount of his fortune.

Unfortunately, his assumptions were totally incorrect.

By the time he would be able to discover this fact, General Arkus, with a blackened face, would not really be able to do anything anymore.

Lena joyfully bounced towards the rustic inn located at a discreet area outside the busy marketplace. She went straight into a room at the farthest side of the inn.

Two women, one with a delicate and fresh beauty, and the other one with a hard and cold beauty could be seen sitting idly inside the rustic room. Lena walked in and saw the two ladies waiting patiently for her. When the two saw Lena, their eyes gleamed in bright light.

"My lady, you've arrived," said the fresh-faced woman with a warm smile on her face.

Smiling back, Lena replied, "Yup, I'm back." She swept her gaze towards the two women. "Have you recuperated well?" Lena asked.

The woman with a cold beauty answered, "Yes, my lady. We thank you for saving our lives." It was clear that this woman with a cold-faced beauty was a bit indifferent with her monotonous voice but her eyes were gazing Lena with respect and gratitude.

"That's nice," Lena nodded in approval.

Nice?

What was that word means?

The inquisitive woman with cold beauty wondered.

"Ah!" Lena paused, looking at her basket, she said, "Here, change your clothes. It's been several days since you've changed clothes." She handed the basket to the two women as she smiled apologetically.

"Thank you, my lady." The fresh-faced woman said with a brilliant smile on her face.

"No need for thanks, we're a family now." Lena sat down on a chair as she leaned lazily towards the table. "Remember, you will be my maidservants and you will call yourselves Libby and Lizzy from now on," said Lena towards the fresh-faced woman and the cold-faced beauty alternately.

Lena decided to give new names to these two women to hide their own identities. She had resorted to this because the two women, whom she found in the slave market were unexpectedly from that place and having been inflicted by a curse. That place was not in the Alyxzandryte Kingdom and certainly not near from this kingdom.
