"What is this dad?" I got the boxes from him.
"Let us open them here at the study." He motioned for me to follow.
"How can I open these?" I asked as I gazed at the puzzle of a box in front of me. The other one also had a complex puzzle.
"I don't even know darling. They were just given to me by the attorney along with a letter saying 'Liam, let my daughter open this when the time is right.' Its all it said. The other one came as well. The man said it came from your grandparents." He gave me the original letter.
"I will tell you now on what really happened that night." He had a painful expression. "It was the time of our lives when you were born to the family. Of course, a girl finally cam after long years of the Marshall's only having males through time. Everyone was so happy bit suddenly it became gloomy. The group called 'Mad Masters' raided the house."
"The one that the government of magic is hunting down?"
"Yes, sadly. They feared our family and we were at the most vulnerable moment, all of us were looking out for your coming and we were struck by bad happenings. It was a battle we expected but at the wrong time."
"Your father asked me to take you away. They will keep them there for as long as possible until we can be safe. I knew at that moment I couldn't deny his favor because now you are here. That is why I kept you a secret all this time and I will until the right time comes to declare who you really are. I will protect you forever."
"Thanks dad. I am really grateful for all you have done and will do. For now I will look on how I can open this or you still have more story to tell?" I smiled at him.
"That is all for now. I have one request for you darling."
"What is it dad?"
"Please help me hide your identity as one of the Marshalls. I don't want anyone yo harm you. So, please keep everything enough to be undistinguished."
"Yes, I promise will all my heart." I exited the study and went to my room. Looking up anything I can do to open it, it was already time for dinner.
"Young lady, here is your dinner. Master had left for an important meeting." A maid went in with a tray full of food.
"Thank you- " I left it hanging so at least she can introduce herself.
"I am Lily, your personal maid."
"Okay, Lily, I am at your care." I bowed lightly.
"Oh no do not bow at me young lady. I am just a maid."
"I am not certain about that. I know your a weapon wielder. Am I right? Also, don't call me 'young lady', call me Blair." I smiled at her.
"Yes, I am a weapon wielder. Okay, Blair." She smiled back at me.
"So have you had your dinner? If not please join me." I offered my dinner which is likely to be for 3 people. I postponed my researches for today so I can get to know my new friend.
