I went into the dinning room where we were going to eat. I saw Yurika's hand rise. I immediately went there and stood beside her.
"Are you all right?" I asked her worriedly.
"I'm doing great, don't worry about what happened a while ago." She said and smiled. My nervousness became gone after what she said.
"Are you okay too? Your face is so pale, what happened?" She asked me that caused me to choked on what I was eating.
I drank the water first before answering her questions. "I'm also doing great and fine. It's just that, this place made me feel weird." I said and smiled to lose her concern for me.
"Don't worry, you can trust me." She said causing me to lighten up a bit of what I'm feeling.
The door opened and an old woman in a gown came out. She sat at the very end of the table.
"Who is she?" I asked them.
"She's Miranda Dampios. The higher rank ruler and also a maid here." Yurika answered me.
We ate quietly. Suddenly the maid spoke.
"Now that the candidates are complete, tomorrow we will start playing." She said. The others already stopped eating and changed their reactions with fears.
"
Do not forget that your soul is at stake to the games of the demons." She reminded us while continuing eating her food.
"No one will come out of their room at night. We had dinner because we need to and in my opinion, Hudas' servants will understand our reasons to delay the game and also going outside at night, only to have dinner. In addition, we started for a long time because there was a little problem however the problem is already resolved." She said and looked at Yurika and me. Yurika feels embarrassed because of what she did earlier.
"No one will wear any underwear while sleeping." The higher rank reminded us again that caused as all surprised.
"Why is it forbidden?" I asked.
They all looked at me.
"You're the last candidate aren't you?" She asked.
"Yes, I am. I am the last candidate who is very confused on what is happening in this place." I answered her.
"You should not wear any underwear because ..." She did not finish her answer because the clock suddenly rang.
It is already seven o'clock in the evening. Weird.
"Go to your room right away," said the head of the household. We obeyed her command.
We immediately went to our room. I was about to open it but someone grabbed my shoulder.
"Ma'am" I bowed down in surprised and also to pay respect to the higher rank. She brought her face closer to my ear, telling me her concerns in a whisper.
"Because there are visitors." She said and left.
I'm still wondering on what she said earlier, it creeps me out. After that, I already entered into my room. The light emitted is dark, I stared at the window. What time is it now?
I walked to the front door of my room, I wanted to get out of my room. Therefor I opened the door, I looked around if there's a person walking around. I closed my door and I walked out down to the hall. Someone held my hand that caused me a surprise. I turned around and was surprised by what I saw.
He covered my mouth and pointed the monster who is scrolling around the hallway. We hid in a room full of books.
"Don't make any noise." The man with the covered face said softly.
When the sound of the monster's footsteps disappeared, we started to leave the room. We walked down the hallway to the bedrooms. We heard the monster's footsteps again that caused us to ran faster into my room. I held his hand and immediately locked my room and window.
"You should have just left me in the hallway." The man said and lowered his mask, when I saw his face I suddenly got surprised from what I saw and angry at the same time.
"You brought me here!" I said and took the pillow causing me to strike it at him.
"What ?!" He asked in irritation. "For you as a candidate in this game, I am sure your soul will go to the devil." He fired me back of his ironic tone.
I was irritated by what he said. "You are the devil! Because of you I came into this place!" I slapped the pillow on him again.
He grabbed the pillow with all his might causing the two of us to fall in the floor. We made a fool of ourselves, especially since I have no inner bottom. I was on top of his body. I got up immediately and helped him to stand up.
"Sorry." I apologized to him. I could not look into his eyesight straight because of shame.
"It's not good for a woman to wear white clothes." He told me. It was also the reason that I was looking at him again. "You immediately show your inner soul as a woman to the devil." He said that caused me into deep thinking.
"I'm leaving." He said and walked towards the door.
"But the mons-" I turned around and did not finish what I was going to say, he suddenly disappeared in front of me. There was no sound of the door opening.
I did not sleep well all night because I'm deeply thinking about the events that happened in my first day in this palace. First the knock, second the so called visitor, third the monster walking down the hallway, fourth is the man who has disappeared like a bubble. I'm confused on what is really happening in this kind of world. It's driving me crazy.
"Because there are visitors."
"It's not good for a woman to wear white clothes."
"You immediately show your inner soul as a women to the devil."
Suddenly tears welled up in my eyes.
What is going on in my life?
