"M- my lady..."
Lady Noh tried to speak, so she could refuse her from wearing that particular dress. But before she could say anything Agnes had changed her mind, she immediately picked another one.
"I will take this, it's gorgeous."
She spoke and lunged forward towards the man, who had been holding the dress. He leaned in and presented the dress to her, the lady took it and put it on the bed.
"It is then."
Lady Noh gestured at other ladies and they went inside the bathroom to prepare for Agnes' bath. Whereas Agnes was having her own nightmares upon seeing that dress, she felt a strong aura of dark emotions coming from that dress.
'To whom does that dress even belong?'
Her thoughts had been occupying the brain with untold assumptions. Agnes simply sat back on the bed waiting for the signal from Lady Noh to bath, while all other men had vanished just as they had appeared.
The lady went to have a bath and found the luxurious set up, the bathtub with rose water and rose petals was waiting to wash over her body. Agnes found herself in daze at the sight of the candles all around in every corner, that she had no idea how to respond to that.
The woman had spent all her life struggling and coping with the average lifestyle. The current situation was beyond her expectations, since blood pets if the vampires had spread the word that they were treated well.
But a few vouched that it was just a lie intentionally spread to keep the reputation of the vampires, so that humans would never revolt or go against them at all. Well, humans and witches had been living together whereas they were an eternal enemy of vampires.
Yes! Witches had the power to kill vampires or at least make them vulnerable to the extent that even a human could kill them easily.
'I hope it's not a dream, even if it is then I don't want it to end.'
Agnes muttered to herself and strode inside when the ladies approached her. Upon the instruction of lady Noh one of the maids appeared behind Agnes and helped her to get undressed.
The lady became shy since no one had ever seen her like that and it was definitely a new thing for her. Agnes covered her bare breasts immediately and walked towards the bathtub while the maids hurried outside.
The lady sat in the water slowly as the warmth of the water sucked all the tiredness from her body, the candles had been producing the heat to keep the chamber warm.
'This is….all of this is just so beautiful and unbelievable.'
Agnes gazed outside the window and witnessed snow slowly engulfing the whole Xandaya.

On the other hand Lord Cyrus was angrily roaming in a particular chamber, Curtis appeared in the same manner and bowed slightly.
"Master!"
He knew something must have gone wrong that his master had summoned his presence there in that certain chamber.
Cyrus turned his head towards Curtis and his eyes glowed red with the dark intent, the black smoke began to gather around his body. The smoke looked like a spider's legs and charged at Curtis, the man went flying and hit the wall.
"Who stole the dress from this wardrobe!?"
The lord was indeed angry that the smoke arm had been holding Curtis tucked to the wall by grabbing his neck.
"What were you doing till now, huh?"
Curtis was involved with Lord Cyrus with a blood bond that any danger or anger would summon and notify Curtis. He could only read and sense those two emotions, and somehow he failed to do anything to catch the culprit.
"Master...I…"
Curtis could not even speak with the strong grip around his neck, the man choked and kept his emotions in check so his eyes would not turn glowing red as disobedience.
The man servant who had taken away the dress appeared in the chamber just at that particular moment. Cyrus sensed his emergence and within just the snap of fingers his body exploded and blood along with the flesh was everywhere.
"How dare you!"
His fangs grew longer and the dangerous aura around Crystals became immense, that Curtis who had been coughing immediately escaped through a portal.
