"Please take care of her, okay? Don't get too rough on her." Was all she ever heard from Mistress Geneva's voice as she blacked out?
Princess Asteria's eyes flicked open as she heard chains dragging and a bright light shone upon her face.
She squinted at the sudden brightness. Seeing Lady Ludke's face, she was woken up with a start and she forced herself to stand up but she couldn't.
"She's now woken up." the daughter of the duke announced.
What is this brat doing here?
She wanted to punch her for betraying her but she saw the fifteen men standing in the room.
"I advise you to stay still, Asteria." Her loud shrilly voice said.
She bit her lip and looked around. And sitting on a sofa in the very center was a familiar face.
Duke Ludke.
She's somewhat familiar with the man as she has seen him visit the court many times.
But they didn't take her attention.
