Chapter 51 Madison’s magic
Madison’s POV
I sat heavily on the old chair lost in thought. I couldn’t get what Lady Delia said off my mind. How can such a little girl be going through so much misery? I didn’t know the Master was once humane before he turned into a monstrous beast.
I was still lost in thoughts that I didn’t notice when Mona walked into the room.
“Hey Madison!” She called, but I was still staring at the ceiling without even blinking an eye.
“Madison?” She snapped her finger across my face, and I flinched turning to her sharply.
“Oh… Mona. Have you been there long?” I forced a smile at her, and she nodded reluctantly.
“Why do you look so absent-minded? Are you still worried about what Emery told you?” She raised her eyebrows at me.
“Of course not. I’ve long forgotten about her” I exhaled deeply, and she sat next to me and I sighed softly.
“If you’re not worried about her, then why are you absent-minded? Do you mind telling me what the problem is? You know I get worried when ever I see you looking like this?” She patted my shoulder, and I exhaled deeply.
“Did you know that the master has a daughter?” I lowered my voice to ask. I just need to make sure that the walls doesn’t have ears this time.
“Is that it? Of course, who doesn’t know that the master has a daughter in this Castle?” She scoffed, and I narrowed my eyes at her.
“Really? You knew about this all along? Why didn’t you tell me about it? I almost got killed because of it” I cried out, and she gasped.
“Killed? Why would they want to murder you? Do you have anything to do with the Master’s daughter?” She almost screamed.
“Bring your voice down Mona. You wouldn’t want us to get into trouble, would you?” I shook my head, and I breathed heavily.
“So then what’s the problem?” She anxiously inquired. Of course, she’s always concerned whenever it has to do with me.
“Do you know exactly who the master’s daughter is? Like, have you ever seen her?” I asked, and she shook her head negatively.
“I’ve heard about her, everyone I have. But no one has ever set their eyes on her. As a matter of fact I know a room where she’s kept, but no one is allowed to go close to that room talk more of entering the room. So, enough of the questions already and tell me what happened” She rolled her eyes turning to me.
“Well, I didn’t know the master has a daughter and I don’t even know the room where she’s kept so when Lioness took you and Emery, I had a strange noise coming from a particular room, and I decided to check it up” I gulped hard.
“What the f***? Don’t tell me you entered the room by the left at the end of hallway?” She gasped in shock, and I reluctantly nodded my head.
“Yes…” I mouthed, and she covered her mouth with her palms still in shock.
“But wait a second… If truly you entered that room, what are you still doing here? I mean I don’t expect you to still be alive after entering that room?” She furrowed her eyebrows, and I snorted.
“It took only the intervention of God for me to still be alive right now. The master had already given orders for me to be hanged to death, but his daughter saved me. It happened in a miraculous way, and I’m still marvelled” I scratched my head.
“His daughter saved you? Even if I haven’t seen the master’s daughter before, I heard rumors that his daughter cannot actually talk. I don’t know if that’s true because I haven’t seen her before, I’m just talking because that’s what I heard from people who said they have seen her” Mona whispered, and I nodded my head.
“It’s true that she cannot talk. But I don’t even know how it happened, she spoke after such a long time and told her father not to hurt me” I gulped hard.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“What? You made the master’s daughter speak?” Mona freaked out on hearing what I said.
Lucien’s POV
Lighting the stick of cigarette placed in between my lips, I exhaled deeply, and smokes emanated from my nostrils and mouth. My chambers were as dark as it used to be. My heart is dark, and that’s why I believe my room should also be dark.
Lady Delia walked into my chamber with smiles all over her face, and I knew instantly that whatever she was going to tell me, is definitely going to be good news.
“Lucien, I have good news for you” She started, and I smirked before turning to her.
“I don’t need anyone to tell me that you are actually have good news for me Delia. From your facial expressions, I can tell that you have good news. So what is it?” I asked as I blew the smoke on her face, and she coughed slightly glaring at me hard.
“Sorry…” I struggled before I could mouth that five-letter words because it seems to be the hardest word for me to pronounce.
“You better be Lucien. Well, I came to tell you that for the first time, your daughter smiled so broadly. She looked exactly as beautiful as she used to be” Lady Delia giggled, and I couldn’t help but smile. I know you all think that I don’t smile, right?
“Zara smiled? That’s the best news I’ve ever heard in five years” I frowned immediately, and turned my face away. The memories seem to be rushing back into my head, and I blinked hard because no one is allowed to see my weakness. I know Lady Delia is not just anyone, she’s been like a mother to me, because she was my nanny when I was just a child.
“Yes she did. I think Madison did the magic” Lady Delia replied, and I turned my gaze at her.
“Madison? Whose Madison?” I furrowed my eyebrows, and Lady Delia eyed me…
