Chapter 9

I will be 19 soon. Some in the village, as in spite of them, still tell me that they will pray for my soul.

Everyone hopes that I will just kill myself from day to day.

After all, I have the opportunity to live, so I will!

Two less than two weeks, and again the girls will be selected for nonsensical games. Yes, that's exactly what it is.

But my time is running out, I don't know what will happen next, how my life will go. Well, he told me that when the first day came, I would go too.

The evening was over, and the sky was turning dark to indicate that night would rule now.

I lay down in bed in my room.

Lia, come out ...

I parted my eyes. I still couldn't see his face, I could only hear his powerful, masculine voice.

I sat down and went outside.

„Should I close my eyes?"

„Yes," as his answer came, I closed my eyes and felt him tie a scarf through them.

„Why can't I see you? It's not right to talk to a person I haven't even seen, "I told him a little angrily.

„It's not the right time yet."

„Then tell me what will happen to me next."

„You will go to the manor."

„And there what ?!"

„You will serve."

„I want to stay with my parents."

„You have no choice!"

„Don't raise your voice at me, you have no right to drag me away as something."

„I think they'll like you. When something is not yours, you will comment on it. "

„I was brought up to keep someone like you from sweeping me."

„Strong enough words, maybe that's why you survived."

I put cheese products on the shabby table. Some people had poultry or some fruit on the tables. Unfortunately, there is a shortage of food here. People help each other by exchanging something for something.

My younger sister became with me, counting around how many lumps of cheese we have.

An elderly lady stood in front of the table.

„AnnaSalia, are you selling here without a mother this year?"

„My mother had to go to plant in the fields because my father had to go to the mountain with his brother," I replied boldly.

He buys cheese from us every year and we always get fresh bread for it.

„Like every year? Goat cheese?"

„Yes, do you also sell cow's milk?"

„Of course," I bent down and took a bottle of milk from under the table.

She sliced me two still hot loaves.

„Thank you," she thanked and walked away.

A little girl from the house next door came running to my sister.

„Are you going to play?"

Sandra looked at me and I just smiled.

Both girls ran who knows where.

I watched them chase for a moment and laughed. I turned and my eyes rested on a tall young man with thick black hair. He looked at the products on my desk and then looked at me.

He had them pale blue as a clear sky.

„Would you like something, sir?" I asked politely.

„I want this spear."

He handed me a special ring for it.

„Thank you," he thanked, bowing slightly.

I've heard his voice before. But where?
