Slave Crest

"No....my lady if you want to draw it beautifully you should know how to put your heart in what you see" I said while pointing the small lake then take a glance to Althea she nodded and frown a little. ' She didn't get it' I sighed

"Imagine on your every stroke in that piece of paper you will give life to that drawing, not because it was alive but what that's drawing will make you feel, is it happiness? or sadness? its up to the one who's drawing it.......did you get what I was saying My lady?" I asked and I can see her twinkling eyes as she nods I giggled giving her a smile.

I sighed and my eyes landed on a young man who seem to be staring at me 'What is he thinking with those poker face of his he making me creep out a little' I smiled at him and he immediately turn his gaze. I stared at him 'Okay what was that?'

'You seem to forget me.....'

I turn around to find who's speaking to me but its only me and Althea in this garden. I scan every corner and when my eyes darted to a black coated man leaning on the tree, He rise his left hand and signal me to follow him.

'I almost forget about him'

"Ah...my lady" I said, She lift her head waiting for me to finish my words. "Its tea time already....." I reminded her as a matter of fact. I offer my hand to help her to stand up. "Your right let go" She said and walked ahead of me.

I looked at the trees where I saw him I bite my lower lip and called her. "My lady! If is alright can I go for a moment" I asked, she nod rather quickly so I bowed at her. "Make sure to be back at dinner okay" She said

I run to the couple of forest tree they have in the estate and search for a black coated man. I try to catch my breath while scanning every direction when I felt a presence behind me, I turned and saw him standing there.

"Yo"

I frown at his first choice of words 'Seriously?' I snap at myself and looked at him "So you know that she'll going to choose me huh" I said he didn't answer me so I took the opportunity to speak again.

"But I was wondering out of all people here in Reon.....why did you choose me." I asked him.

"Beause you have the abilities I need, your a thief work for money had a fighting skills and easy to get along too.....riniging any bells" He said and I almost imagine he smirks.

"First of all....I'm slightly offended" He just shrug his shoulders "Secondly how do you know I have fighting skills? Are you perhaps watching me from a far" I said staring at that dark shadow behind that hood, I feel like he knew me so much he knows my skills , my attitude and what I do. Its creeping me out I really want to take off that hood so I can see his face but I know if I do my life will end instantly.

"Lets just say.....I know you for a very long time"

Adallane frowned and he find it entertaining to watch how confused she is....but he needs to go down to the business.

Ada jumped in suprise when the black coated man grab her hand and the surrounding change. She was amaze and bewildered on what she experience. "Where are we" She asked but the man don't even bother to answer her. Soon enough her question is answered when she saw the familiar house on the top of a hill, She looked at the man beside her.

"You--"

"You know his daughter is a good chief" The man said making Ada to looked at him.

He tilted his head watching her to be agitated. He smirks before continuing his words. "Ah....he even gave me a sword.....wanna take a look?" he said with a friendly tone and show his sword to the lady beside him.

"Why did you bring me here" her voice is full of seriousness, he acted like he was thinking before leaning to her. "Because I want you to see how close I'am to them now......I can even stab them while in the middle of a good conversation.....say are you still trying to runaway from that mansion?" He saw how her expression turn into a worried one, she sighed defeatly before lifting her head.

"How did you know" She asked. He smile "I have connection Adallane, So no breaching on contact okay?" He said

"I hate you" Adallane said showing her distain to him freely, he was shocked beause of what she said.

"Say again?" He asked her making sure he heard her clearly. The young woman crosss her arm before rising her left brow to him. "I said.....I hate you" He laughed because of what she said, Adallane was confused why did this man laughing at her but let him finished his entertainment.

"Wow.....I got that a lot but not in front of my face.....you have guts.....I will like you" He said while staring at her, Adallane got goosebumps and frown at him.

"Stop saying nonsense already and say what I need to do...." Annoyingly said by Adallane making him nod in agreement.

"Well my dear...."

"I'm not your dear" Adallane cutted him, he stared at her before clearing his throat. "What I was saying is.....you need to put this on the drink of the Lady Lincoln on the day of her debut" He said showing a small bottle with a black liquid inside it.

Adallane looked at him then to the bottle. "What's that, Is that a poison?" She asked calmly. "Your very calm" He commented making the lady beside him rise one brow at him.

'Never seen this side of her' he thought

"Its not a poison but I won't tell you what it is either" He said, " I don't plan on knowing it too" She commented.

He scoffs before looking at her, Adallane is looking at the window with a calm expression. He knew her for a long time but didn't know her much, he just know some information he gathered as he observe her from afar. He knows that she is orphan and doesn't have family so if she's gone no one will looked for her and that's makes her perfect for this job.

"I can't trust you to obey me if I don't hold something from you" He suddenly said making her to look at him.

He grab a dagger in his coat and cut his palm open, he grab Ada's hand and cut it open. She hissed in pain she stared at him with a very curious look.

'You find it cool? seriously how weird can you be?' He thought

He closed his eyes and speak a chant, the blood from Ada flew in the air and turned in a bracelet, his blood spread into her body and a crest with a ancient writing inside the double circle showed in Adallane's chest. The wound heal on its own while the man weared the bracelet.

The young woman looked at him with bewildered on her face "What's this!" She asked while showing the weird crest on her chest, he jumped when he saw what's she's showing to him. He clear his throat before answering her quickly.

"T-thats a slave crest it will make you obey me no matter what I say, disobey me and you will feel a horrible pain in your chest" He explained when he lift his head to find her looked so trouble.

"I really hate you" He heard her say, paying no attention to what she said, he grab her hand teleporting back to the mansion. The moon is up in the sky.

"Its....midnight already?" Adallane wondered when he answered her. "I stop on my house so I erase some of your memories, I do some work too and I completely forgot about you" He casually said making Adallane to scoffs.

"Unbelievable" she said. She step a back when he suddenly lean to her and she rooted when she hear what he said

"I know your not belong here"

"I don't know where you come from....but I will found it sooner" he said.

"Why did you do that....." She asked him, he just shake his head not answering her again "Just go ahead and go to that mansion, they won't be harm as long as you do as I say" he said

Adallane glared at him but he only smile to her too. She comb her hair in annoyance "I'll do it" She said defeatly. He lean at her before disappearing.

"I'm so f*cked up" Adallane said walking back to the estate, not knowing someone heard their conversation.
