Chapter 46 The secret
Madison’s POV:
It was no other person than Lioness. The sight of her made Emery shiver, and I wondered why. Lioness glared at her with hatred boldly written on her face.
“What is going on here? Why have you guys decided to rob us of the peace of this castle?” Her intimidating voice made me gulp even harder. I couldn’t even find my voice to explain to her what was happening.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
“It’s Emery. She’s threatening my friend Madison. I can’t tell what exactly Madison did to her to deserve the way she’s treating her” Mona snapped, and Lioness turned her gaze at Emery.
“Is that so Emery? You have decided to frustrate the innocent girl?” Lioness kept glaring at her, and Emery shivered in fear to my surprise.
“That’s not true Lioness. I was only speaking to her, I didn’t do anything wrong to her” Emery lied, and I stared at her with narrowed eyes.
“Just because you became the Master’s favorite slave, doesn’t give you the right to go about bullying other slaves. I don’t know what you think of yourself, but I just want to remind you that you are also slave” Lioness grabbed her by her hair, and she winced in pains. I felt pity for her, but I know that I’m not in the right position to pity her.
“I’m really sorry Lioness. I promise I will no longer, but I have from now onwards” Emery pleaded still in tears.
“The next time I hear from anyone that you are bullying your fellow slave, I’m sure you know what I’m capable of. I won’t let you continue your stupidity. Enjoy the position as the master’s favorite while it last, because it won’t take long when you will lose that position, go back to being a slave that you are” Lioness smirked, and Emery gritted her teeth. I guess she hates to hear those words, because they always make her feel bad.
“I’m sorry Lioness. I promise not to bother her anymore, please just let go of my hair. Your grip is so tight, and it’s really hurting me” Emery cried out pitiably.
“Since you don’t have any work, and that’s probably the reason why you came to bully her. If only you were busy, and you have a lot of work in your desk to do, I’m sure you won’t bother to bully anyone because you’d be busy” Lioness nodded her head like an idea got into her head.
“What? What are you saying Lioness?” Emery cried out in panic. I never thought she’d be so afraid of anyone until I see her crying and pleading for mercy from Lioness.
“What I’m saying is that you Emery, and Mona needs to do some work. I think it’s high time you keep yourselves busy. I wouldn’t want to see you guys less busy” Lioness dropped the can of black substance she was holding on the bed beside her.
“You should consider yourself lucky Madison. The master ordered that you shouldn’t do any work, I don’t know how you were able to gain favor in the sight of the master, but I can assure you that you’re definitely getting to his good side. The content of the bottle was given to you directly from the master. He ordered that you should be allowed to have enough rest for today” Lioness rolled her eyes while Emery glared hard at me.
“The Master did? Why would he….” I was short of words, but I had to keep my mouth shut.
“So for the reason, I will let you get enough rest. All you have to do is to get yourself straight to the bed and get all the rest you can for today. Tomorrow might not be so good for you. Emery and Mona follow me immediately I don’t want to repeat myself again” Lioness snapped, and walked out of the door. Emery glared at me for the last time before walking out of my room while Mona smiled.
I felt bad for Mona. If only Emery didn’t come to my room, she won’t be sent on an errand or given any other work to do. I sat heavily on the bed with my mind wondering.
Like Lioness said, she told me that the master ordered that I shouldn’t do any work today. Now the question is, why would the master say something like that about me? He hates me for all I know, I would never say something like that to favor me.
I was still lost in thought when I heard a strange voice. Okay! It’s not just a voice, it sounded like someone was crying.
But who could that be? I think it seems to be the voice of a little girl. Shockingly, I don’t think there’s a little girl living in this castle. How is it possible then?
I got up from the bed, and walked out of my room. The voice is probably coming from the Castle, it’s not possible that I’m just hearing voices.
I kept walking until I got to a door. The door was not really locked, and my heart skipped a beat the moment I grabbed the doorknob.
Am I really doing the right thing? Won’t I be beheaded if I enter the room that I was not authorized to enter? What if I get myself into trouble by entering this room without permission? Besides, I’ve never seen anyone entering this room ever since I came into the Castle.
Now, I was more curious to find out why I was hearing the voice from the room. Could it be there’s someone in the room, or something in the room that no one is allowed to see?
Well, I don’t care. What matters is that I get into the room, and see for myself what’s making such a noise.
The doorknob clicked open, and I sneaked into the room after looking around to make sure no one saw me. To my greatest surprise, the room was so beautiful. It was decorated in pink like that of a princess. The voice I was hearing stopped sniffing, and that made me keep heading in…..
