"What" a young girl exclaimed "the Lord is coming back and by this evening" the young girl continued, she had always been in love with the Lord and now hearing he was coming back she couldn't control her excitement and shouted even though she knew it was against the rules and regulations she couldn't help herself.
"Who dares to scream inside the Lord's personal slaves hall" madam Becky said in a stern voice and she boiled in anger, her entire face was already red from anger.
"She is the one, madam Becky" a girl beside the girl who screamed said. "How dare you, you had the audacity to scream in my presence" madam Becky said with disgust in her voice.
"No I didn't...." the girl words were cut off before she could explain the situation "how dare you speak with your head held high in front of me, do you think you have that right just because the Lord is beginning to favor you" she said as she looked mockingly at the girl.
"Hahaha don't decieve yourself with that thought because as far as I am alive and I am the Lord's most trusted person it will never happen, the Lord can only marry my Diana and no one else" madam Becky said as she looked at everyone in the room, her eyes specially lingering on Madeline like she was talking especially to her.
Madeline felt wierd with the way the cold looking vampire looked at her like they were enemies when they had never met before and why did she sunddenly start feeling uneasy when the middle aged vampire said she would never allow any other woman marry the Lord.
Who could this woman be?, how could she talk so freely about the Lord like she was his mother, or could she be his mother.
No the Lord's mother was dead she was at least very sure about that, then what was the relationship between the Lord and this woman and why wasn't she scared of him at all, she was going to ask Gina later but for now it was better she remained silent and just watch the show.
"Madam Becky I..." the girl was cut off again as madam Becky roared at her as she used her super speed to appear in front the girl and immediately started strangling her.
The girl struggled and pleaded to be set free but all her cries fell into deaf ears as she was strangled till she turned pale.
Madeline could no longer watch what was going on anymore and decided to speak up as her conscious would judge her if she didn't say anything, she opened her mouth to speak but was immediately stopped by a hand that covered her mouth as she felt someone whisper something into her ear "don't even think about what you are trying to do because I will kill before that woman those, you saw what just happened before your very own eyes, that girl was killed unjustly just because she spoke her mind unknowingly she was killed so cruelly" Kiara said as she witnessed the girls body slump on the floor, she knew very well how cruel this world as she had experience the cruelty of the world before.
She lost her parents when she was only five and had lived with her evil aunty who was wicked enough to be willing to sell her to a slave organization even though Madeline was they to save her that day she was still traumatized by that experience and would never forget how she was nearly raped and killed because she was stuborn and unwilling to submit herself to them no matter what after that night torturous suffering she had learned to stay calm no matter the situation.
And she knew very well that vampires were worst than humans and crueller than them so she was afraid what Madeline would do seeing her fellow human in pain as she was very soft hearted and kind she could lose her sense of reasoning and speak up for that girl so she has been watching her closely to see if she would try something silly and as expected she tried something stupid but thankfully she stopped her before she could do anything that would cause her her life.
Madeline was dumbstruck by what she just saw and couldn't believe her eyes, how could they just kill her like that, were they that cruel as to kill such a young girl just because she shouted out of excitement. Her disgust for vampires increased by a thousand. She hated them so much that if she had the opportunity she would kill them without blinking her eyes.
"I hope this will sound as a warning to everyone under the sound of my voice, no matter who you are you are not above the law and would be punish if you break the rules of the slaves quarters" Madam Becky said in a stern voice as her eyes sharply looked at everyone in the room like she was going to pierce them with her eyes.
"Now as you have heard from Lady Diana, the Lord will be back by this evening so all of you should prepare for the arrival of the Lord" Madan Becky said as she looked at the expression of everyone in the room and smiled.
"So I hope you are rea....". madam Becky was interrupted by the sound of knocking on the door of the slaves hall immediately after the knock the door was opened with hurried steps the palace guard stationed ran into the room rushing towards the direction of the stage.
He bowed down to the people on the stage to show respect towards them "how dare you interrupt my meeting with the Lord's slaves and even had the audacity to barge into the room without seeking permission first do you want to die" Madan Becky said with rage in her voice as she elongated her fangs and nails ready to attack the intruder.
"Forgive this lowly servant for barging into the slave hall like that, but I had to because something urgent came up that needs your attention" the palace guard said with his head bowed down.
Madam Becky frowned wondering what was so important to warrant such audacity from this lowly servant to barge into the Lord's personal slaves hall.
"Speak" Madam Becky said with her eyes fixed on the lowly servant.
"The Lord is back" the servant said.
