After the chain incident, Dominus has mellowed down. He has become more gentle, Mary knows it was partly because he felt guilty overseeing the bruises and wounds on her body.
She tried to cooperate with him as much as maybe possible. She didn't want a repeat of being in shackles.
She sighed as she thinks of what may currently be happening to her friend. She wondered if she should try again soon to look for him.
Dominus has trusted her enough during the past few weeks, letting her explore the castle once again. What was stopping her is fear.
Fear that if he finds out what she has been doing, he will once again be overcome by deranged ideas. The madness in his eyes that night still terrified her until the present day.
She took a sip of tea from the cup she was holding and continued to watch the flowers in full bloom. Red roses seemed to cover the ground like a blood river.
