Best To Serve You

"Let us start the negotiation you were offering." Nadia cooed in a soft voice, "we will settle on the truth."

 Alfred's eyes narrowed at once while Crispin frowned as if he had heard a joke?

"Truth…" he laughed as if he had lost his mind. "What kind of truth are you talking about? This witch came here and killed one of us and ran away."

Alfred inhaled a breath and continued, "we do not know what you are talking about but we are brought here without our choice. Our master is looking for her. She is his beloved. We do not know anything else." Then he looked at Bella again. "What is about all this, Bella? Did the master not treat you well? Are you trying to take out your grievances on us?" His voice sounded disappointed.

But this time, Bella was not looking at him but Nadia. She slowly walked toward her and then looked at Alfred.

"Are you hiding something from me?" Crispin laughed and then gritted his teeth.
