Chapter 5

  • "No they would definitely catch me and even if they don't, they would go back and slay my poor mother because Master Damien is someone who doesn't hesitate to kill as I heard".
  • "If all the stories said about him were all true, then I better keep to my self" she mumbled and sat still looking out of the carriage windows.
  • She could not believe she had always prayed to get onto a carriage and rode round the village and the first carriage she would ever get on was the one taking her to her doom.
  • A place she would work and suffer for the gods knows when and probably would never ever lay eyes on her mother and clan again.
  • "Oh father what have you done" she muttered in pain. She would never forgive him and hope nemesis catches up with him.
  • She sighed as the carriage came to a stop and she got down. She wouldn't deny that the castle was breath taking.
  • Of what use was it to her when she came here as a slave. She preferred her rickety cottage to this huge castle where she was being sold to.
  • Flowers were laid from the gates to the entrance door in a double roll, Red carpet spread between them reaching the doorstep.
  • Servants and guards were seen loitering around the castle doing one thing or the other and she sniffed knowing she would be joining them soon.
  • One of the guard who brought her came to her side. "Follow me to meet the master he said and she nodded and followed him in.
  • The hallway was so long that she wondered if they were still in the same castle as they kept on walking till they finally got to a big door which she presumed was where she would be meeting the master who she was sold to.
  • They got to a big hall and he told her to wait there that the master would join him soon.
  • She sat down and glanced around the hall room. It was equally beautiful but she didn't want to dwell on that "if she had came there on a better reason, she would have been happy to be in the castle. But she came there a slave sold by her heartless father.
  • The double long wooden opened and she looked up instantly dazed. "Is this the man she was to be his slave" she thought and shivered on her seat.
  • He looks so tall and scary she mumbled though he is inhumanly handsome but she wouldn't want to admit that. 
  • He wore a long black robe, his hands crossed behind his back and his eyes fixed on her.
  • He began walking close to her, his eyes not leaving her face. She swallowed and stared down in fright wondering while he was looking at her like that.
  • She quickly stood up "Good day my Lord" she bowed, her head lowered and her hands clutching her dress.
  • He walked pass her ignoring her greeting and sat down on a chair few metres away from her.
  • Master Damien gazed at the ethereal beauty in front of him who was shivering and fidgeting with her clothes.
  • "She must be a goddess of beauty he thought as he has never seen a beauty like hers. 
  • Her eyes were blue just like the ocean and her skin fair and soft to the eyes, he knew it will be more softer to feel.
  • Her hair, long straight deep brown, Her nose was small and pointed out and her lips rosy pink and succulent to the eyes.
  • Just what kind of beauty does she posses for he has never seen one as beautiful as she was.
  • Master Damien stared at her for a few minute taking in her features as she stood up and greeted him.
  • Still lost in thought about her, he walked towards his seat and sat down.
  • "Robin" he called and a guard came running in.
  • "You called my Lord" the guard named Robin answered with a bow he was also the guard that brought Galene to the hall.
  • "Where is the girl" he said and the guard pointed at Galene. "There she sit my Lord" he bowed and master waved at him to leave.
  • He knew she was the one but he just wanted to confirm as he was confused why her father sold her off to him when she was this beautiful and calm.
  • Any man who has such a daughter should cherish her so much for she carries the beauty of a goddess and would bring good fortunes to him.
  • "What is your name? He asked looking at her. "Galene my Lord" she said and he didn't miss the way her voice sounded. Calm and serene.
  • "Hmmm! Galene- Peace" He muttered and she nodded "Yes my Lord you got the meaning" she said and Master Damien frowned "Peace my foot, I might say you looked beautiful and endowed but for your name, not for me" he shrieked and Galene flinched."Why would he say that"she thought.
  • "Robin" he called and the guard ran inside. "Yes my Lord" he said and bowed.
  • "Assign her a room" he said and the guard nodded. 
  • "Come with me" he said and Galene nodded and followed him out. They walked through the hallway and Galene glanced and the hallway design.
  • He stopped and pointed at a door. "That would be your room" he said and walked out.
  • Galene pushed the door and peeped in. Having seen no one in the room, she walked in and glanced around the spacious room.
  • She raised her brows when she saw four beds Lined in the room. "I was thinking I would be left alone she sighed and sat on one of the beds.
  • "Who are you and what are you doing on my bed" A lady walked out of a door she assumed to be the bathroom.
  • "Good day, I was assigned here by a guard" she said and the lady nodded and sat down beside her.
  • "Tell me did any of your family annoyed Master Damien" she asked and Galene blinked rapidly.
  • "I don't understand you" Galene replied confused.
