CHAPTER 10: THE LORD IS COMING BACK
The next morning
Madeline was awoken by a loud drum sound was loud enough to bring the dead back to life.
"What was that" a voice was heard coming from someone behind her, she turned around only to see Kiara coming down from the bed.
"I'm not sure" Madeline replied in an uncertain voice not what sure what the drum was for but back in her home town a drum was mostly played to assemble people. Could it also mean the same thing, was that drum played to assemble the slave or something else.
"Could the drum mean to assemble a group of people" Madeline asked as she turned to face Kiara.
"Yes that drum was played to assemble all the slaves in the palace" Gianna said "so we need to go to the slaves hall fast or we might get punished" Gianna said in a hurried voice urging to hurry up.
...
In the slaves hall
Madeline, Kiara and Gianna had just arrived at the slave hall and were walking around looking for a place with good view "why don't we go over there it's not as crowded as the other part" Kiara said as dragged both of them towards the direction she pointed at.
The big hall didn't have any chair but was very spacious and plain without many design but only have a potrait of a vampire stomping his foot on the chest of a human showing the dominance of vampires over humans.
Kiara yawned lazily as she said in a bored voice "so what are doing here, it has been 20 minutes already I'm already tired of waiti..." her voice trailed as footsteps were heard coming from the door to the slave hall.
Three women walked into the slave hall, they were a total of two middle aged women and one young girl. Madeline couldn't recognize the middle aged but could recognize the young girl even in her sleep, she was Diana her current biggest threat and enemy.
They walked towards the stage with their heads held high. After arriving at the stage they faced the crowd and sunddenly the silence was disrupted by one of the middle aged woman "Diana why don't you give them the news as the future Lady of the palace I think you have every right to give them the news the middle aged woman at the right side of Diana said.
"No I don't think that is a good idea, she may be the claimed future Lady of the palace but she is not yet the future Lady so she doesn't have the right to pass information to the Lord's slaves" the middle aged woman at the left side of Diana said with a frown on her face not happy with the way Becky (the woman at Diana right side) was treating Diana, they were not even sure if she was the Lord's mistress but becky was already treating her like this.
"What do mean by claimed future Lady, are you trying to say Diana would lie to us about being the Lord's mistress and even if it was a lie do you think the Lord would have remained silent till now over such a big accusation" Becky said as she also frowned disapproving Merlin (the woman at Diana left side) words.
Merlin shook her head as she said "I didn't say that I just mean the Lord didn't deny it, he also didn't approve it so can you stop assuming things and have a neutral feeling over the matter till the Lord make things official between them" Merlin said as she turned to face Diana "I hope you are not offended by my words, I didn't mean to doubt your relationship with the Lord it's just..." Diana cut her off saying.
"Is okay aunty Merlin,. I don't feel bad by what you said, and you are right what right do I have to tell them that the Lord will be back by this evening" Diana said.
"What!" a young girl exclaimed
