We traveled in silence. Neither Rufus nor the knights had spoken a word throughout our journey. Regarding their silence, I stopped asking question and kept my queries to myself.
Soon, we finally made it in the Duke's Mansion. As we came close to the hill where the mansion stood, its glory amazed me.
In my entire life, I've never come close to this mansion. I only looked at it from afar. But now that it's right in front of me, I distinguished how huge and large it was.
Unconsciously, I was gripping my hands tightly. The closer we get to the towering gates, the more my heart pounded.
When we passed by the gates, I heard my heart sinking. Entering this mansion diminish the hope of ever leaving the manor.
I'd be either be dead or live here until his lordship devour me. But that's alright, Lilou. Everyone in the field would be safe.
