 "Are you running away from me, my sweet girl" spoke a voice in the hallway that made her stop in her tracks. The hallway had turned dark with only the wall lamps that burned brightly casting the shadow of the man on the floor as he slowly emerged from the other end. 

 "What are you doing here, your majesty," She said and bowed immediately as she saw him approach her with slow but steady steps.

 "You haven't answered me, sweet" The man said with a sweet smile that made her wary and he heard the way her heart skipped a beat. He stood before her and used his index finger to raise her chin. He tilted his head as he gazed into her green eyes that looked back at him with fear.

 He took a step forward closing the distance between them and his eyes narrowed when she took a step back, but that didn't stop him from cornering her. 

 "Did you think you can escape from me?" He continued to question and she didn't miss the mockery behind his words.

 "I…I" she felt her words tied to her tongue because of the man's daunting aura. She felt him trace her forehead with his finger down to her jaw. He continued moving his hand down to her neck and to the top of her swell and her thudding heart hitched when his hand continued to stay there.

 "Did you think you can escape from me?" He bent towards her as he spoke. His breath fell on her neck which sent a jolt that traveled down her body.

 "I told you, you're tied to me and me to you"

 Perdita Kartar was a winsome yet strange young lady. She had an appealing beauty with her green eyes that invoked and impelled anyone who gazed into them.

 She had fooled her villagers so she could live and protect herself and her remaining family from the night creatures and also humans.

 But what was bizarre of all, was that Perdita had a secret she shared with no one.

 She had lived in the village since she was little, and over the years, she had been discreet with each move she made. Unfortunately, things didn't go as she planned.

 Despite her cautious decorum and fight to stay out of sight, a pair of glacial red eyes falls on her, which followed and refused to leave her out of sight.

Perdita walked out of the study room with a soft smile playing on her lips while she headed towards the kitchen, Emily joining to assist her.

As they continued preparing to bake the buns, Perdita turned to Emily, having noticed the unusual quietness of her maid. "Is everything alright, Emily?" She asked out of concern.

Emily nodded her head. "I am fine, My Lady," she said, but then shook her head with a frown creasing her forehead. "I am not, My Lady. I have been troubled with something since you left and returned to the castle. It is about Lady Eleanor." She revealed, not wanting to dwell on her thoughts alone.

Hearing the name, Perdita cast a swift glance at Emily asking, "What about Lady Eleanor?"
