"hmm... m..my head.., it hurts so much " with a huge headache and fuzzy mind, Lora lifted her head from the hanging position and opened her eyes slowly.
Looking around the bedroom with a dead body of Maria lying on the floor, she finally regained her focus and recall the event that took place before she lost her consciousness.
Scared by what had happened inside the bedroom. Lora search for the boy or the black shadow that killed Maria but didn't find anyone in the bedroom. She was left alone in the bedroom.
" Pwee " Relieved by the fact that their were no sign of both of them.
" But still.., I can't stay here.., I don't know when those two will return, so it is the only chance to escape for me.." Even though she was a little relieved by their absent, Lora will not feel safe until she escape from this mansion.
She struggled to move her body from the chair but was held back on her place by the make shift ropes made by Azreal. Bounded to the chair, she was like a prisoner waiting for judgement.
" Fuck... they tied me with the chair..., hmm.., shit this rope is too strong to break... " She struggled for over five minutes but was still not able to free herself form the knots tied by Azreal.
His technique of tieing her legs and hands separately on the chair was really incredible and very hard to unsolve. She struggled with every fiber of her being but the result didn't changed and she still remained tied to the chair.
" Shit...Shit.. Shit... this can't be happening to me..., fuck I have to escape... I have to escape--- " Panicking by every unsuccessful try, Lora started mumbling non stop.
Things were not looking great for her. If she can't free herself fast and runaway from here, then the only outcome that awaits her is endless pain and death.
Attempting to kill a nobleman was a crime beyond redemption.If one was found to do such a thing then they would be tortured with the most cruel methods in the world until their last breath.
" Even master will not help... in this matter... I am on my own here..." Lora knew the master she served and for which she did this crime was a cruel man. If she became an hindrance to his plans then, she was as good as dead for him.
It is not that she didn't knew this fact from the very beginning, infact she knew this but still choose to follow her master, as he was the best option for her.
For a girl who was from the slum to living a life of luxury in the noble district and learning magic was really the best decision for her. So for that reason she followed his lead and never hoped for any type help from him. It was a relationship of interest between the two parties, if one losses value then their relationship ends their.
" I can't die here.... or for what did i struggled so hard to follow master.... i have come so far.. from were i started....I have to survive and achieve my life of dreams... I can't die here " Not willing to throw away her hard work and except the reality she struggled more vigorously.
Blood flowed from the wrists and her ankle, but even then she didn't stopped and kept on struggling to the bits end.
Click...
In between her struggle for survival, she heard the door knob.
She froze... and looked to the right side with frightened gaze. Her heart pounding like drum set inside her chest.
Under her terror struck gaze, the door knob spined right side in slow mo.. until the clicking sound of door lock opening was heard by her.
She still frozen like statue.... kept on looking at the door..
creak..creak.. the sound of hinges was heard by Lora as the main door of the bedroom slowly opened under her gaze.
Behind the door stood a young man with handsome features, he had a thin body as the white shirt and black pant he wore were a little loose for him. What was unique about the young man was that he had a dark black-red color eyes, like the devil in fairy tales.
Shiver... even though the young man look handsome beyond words, Lora didn't care about that, as to her he looked like the personification of death to Lora.
Step...Step...Step...
Opening the door, the young man walked inside wit leisure pace, not at all worried or cluster by Lora's gaze that followed his movement..., until he sat down on the bed.
Gazing back at the scared Lora... The young man smiled lazily...
Goosebumps....
Receiving the gaze of the young man, Lora felt chill in he spine.
Evading his gaze she looked down towards his feets...
'was his gaze always that powerful ?' thinking inside her head.
She had worked for two years inside the Marine mansion but she never felt such malice in the young masters eyes, infact he was too afraid to even look at his servants but now it was totally different.
Today his gaze held a certain authority that demand submission to him, as if was some superior species above her.
Silent.... the tension between the young man and Lora kept on building up, as the silent remain.
" hmm So Lora.., would you care to explain the reason behind....why you disturb my rest... and attacked me.... " Finally the young man spoke with his handsome voice.
