Chapter 9 - The doctor

I woke up the doctor was there, nursing me I immediately flick away his hand and get up from the bed, the pain was still there kicking in every move I made, however, I was persistent to have my guard up as that person was a stranger,

"Ugh"

Pia was so traumatized she wanted to hide away,

"Please rest, you must rest the duke is waiting outside, you must act I'll for a whole month",

The doctor said, and I was sure that I can trust what he was saying because he had very honest eyes,

I sat down listening to him it'll be good to pretend to be sick for just a month, I need a lot of time to rest up, and also start making plans for escape,

The doctor sat down near pia, hesitating to say something,

"I didn't think he would lay a hand on you",

The doctor had said,

"What the? He knows the secret of the duke?",

I said in my thoughts,

"I've always seen duke montage to think of children like you as an object",

He said,

"When did he start doing this?",

I asked,

"Oh, his highness has always been like that when he was a child,"

[Flashback]

Duke montage was 6,

The successor of the montage family had a very different mindset than any other kids, whenever he found something beautiful he will fully take grasp of them and hang them on his wall,

It started with animals, such as mammals, soft colorful fur with different eyes, he never liked monkeys, a servant once brought him monkeys straight from the wild jungle, he then punished that servant saying,

"How could you bring me a disgusting ugly animal",

after losing interest in them he decided to try birds, he would most likely cage the birds in his room, painting every color of their feathers and after he was done with those he then proceed to have another interest, it kept going and going until he lost complete interest in animals,

He hit the age of 9 and now had attended the academy, the academy was boring for him now that he has always been known as a genius in his family, he can answer all of the things written on the blackboard but it just never interested him, he sleeps on his class or just skip it anyway, he doesn't care,

He's a famous noble so it is easy for him to pay the academy what they want, the former Duke never worries about his son, more like he just wants him to be independent on his own,

"Have you finished the assignment?",

A beautiful young black woman asked the young duke,

And this was the time he started to take obsessed with beautiful people,

The young girl's name is "kina" she was so beautifully unique a person who has a black beauty can make you mesmerize how their skin will always glow whenever the sun hits them, her hair was curly brown which had a lot of pattern to them, their eyes are grey which made the duke made him want to cage the young girl,

They became close as to how the young duke would always show a gentle smile at her and would give her presents and will treat her in a very gentle manner, this was also the time the duke had a good reputation among many ladies,

The young duke invited the young girl if she could visit him on his manor once the vacation comes,

"Yes, I would love to!!",

The young girl cheerfully accepted the duke's invitation as she has already fallen in love with him, however, she didn't know what the young duke was after,

It's been since then the dike continued hunting for a uniquely beautiful person, but all of them end up dying or killing themselves, no one has ever successfully run away from him, even if they were able to escape they weren't able to hide much longer, that's why many servants have feared the duke,

[Back to present]

Although something occurs, the duke took his hands on one of his objects, which he never took interest in using his lower body to anyone, he is known for chastity.

Then does that mean the duke will take this young girl into her lover or much more become the duchess?

Pia had known the duke's reason for everything it neither gave her a will to fight or to give up, all she was thinking is running away from that place far away,

The duke came inside the room and pia was acting asleep the doctor also said,

"She is having a lot of troubles after her injuries and if she wakes up, she might not even be able to talk or have a proper mind anymore",

The duke left and gave orders to the servants and the doctor to take care of pia, the doctor never let anyone inside but only the maids that said sorry to pia at that time, they knew the plan of pia,

Pia prepared to escape through the window, surprisingly her room was on the second floor, however, it was still high enough for bones to break,

"I'll be escaping tonight",

"Yes, Miss Pia take care",

Pia wore a disguise as a man brought by a maid who wants to save pia the maid had a dark brown hair and green eyes and a mole on the lower part of her eye, Pia dropped a whole rope on her window, the rope was made of her long and layered blankets, she then holds onto it to get down,

"Miss pia no matter what happens never look back",

One maid said, she had an orange head and a lot of freckles that are noticeable through her pale skin,

Then pia alone was running away from the manor, thunder started to drop and pia is lost in the forest and somewhat looking for a place to hide,

"I can't move in the dark I must find a place to shelter first",

She was running and running while unable to see anything but was able to hear a lot of noise,

"It's so scary, so cold, so alone"

Pia had said describing the place, while she was walking she suddenly heard a thudding noise of a horse and when she turned around she saw a light coming towards the place where she is,

She climbed the tree immediately, Pia was used to these types of things, she always plays tree climbing with other prostitute kids in her hometown, as the horses have come close pia who is hiding in the tree saw something that surprised her,

"She's not here your highness we should look for her early morning instead",

One of the knights said,

"She is still near and if we start looking for her tomorrow her tracks would be covered",

The rain started dropping and knights were still looking for her, Pia who is trying to quiet herself while the duke was still under the tree is climbed,

"I will kill that bitch once I see her, hiya!",

The duke said pissed and started to leave with his horse,

The next day, I barely heard any of the knights on their horses anymore nor the duke himself, I climb down the tree, hungry and tired I took a slight nap, and when I woke up, I hurriedly stood up and head to a place that is near a lake,

"I need food, water"

While she said desperately, and then I saw a lake I hurriedly drank water from it, and I saw lots of fish, I grabbed a stick sharpening it,

Pia didn't know she was already being watched by the duke and the knights,

"Shouldn't we get her now, your highness?",

The head knight asked,

"Shhh now, we must appreciate her beauty in surviving this wild forest ",

The duke took out his paper and pen, so prepared as if he knows he will witness this scene,

After sharpening the stick pia is waiting for the fish to focus, he sat like a monkey at the top of the rock while waiting for a fish in the spot she's focused with,

The duke thought of this as not beautiful but instead ugly, but still waited for her to catch some fish, while the duke and the 4 four knights including the head knight was with him, waited until they heard a splash in the water, and then they saw pia who caught 3 fishes, it made all the men mesmerized by the scene they witnessed,

In the scene which seems like the nature loves pia because of how the light was laying towards pia, and her eyes were both shining like jewels the duke drew it using his memory, and he smiled,

"You can catch her now, but be careful because her life is more valuable than yours are",

The knight gulped and proceed to take the young lady.
