EPISODE TWENTY-SEVEN
TITLE: WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A WISH?
“I don’t want you to care about me, Yuna, You’re nothing but an object of sexual relief, Just life I’ve said, You’ve caused me so much pain and guilt because I felt like I was the one that got you into this, But I don’t care anymore, As from now on, I will treat you harshly the same way your father did to the slaves under him”He yelled and slowly, She withdrew her hands from him.
Yuna burst into tears pitying this broken man in front of her.
He was trying so hard to be hard on her but he just couldn’t bring himself to it.
How could he be so cruel to himself?
He deserved some love even if it’s little. The people around him loved him but they couldn’t show it to him as they needed someone to show affection too.
His life is just so messed up.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry for being so hard on you, I didn’t know you were struggling too”She apologized and made an attempt to hold him but he turned her down.
“And who told you that I’m struggling?, You should get your filthy self off the bed and stop acting like you cared about me, I don’t want your pity, I’m totally fine, And you see what ever happened yesterday, It didn’t had an effect on me, I don’t care about your stupid pity anymore”
“I don’t want to care about you secretly anymore, I really want to do it, And you shouldn’t be worried about it, If I lost my life for this, I don’t care anymore”Yuna sobbed before going back to the bed.
Adriel stood there, dumbstruck for minutes and stared at the little woman on the bed, crying herself to sleep.
How could she care about him despite how much he hurt her?
Why is she so stupid and careless?
Adriel was mad at the fact that she could see through him, Yuna understands him so perfectly that she couldn’t get mad at him for what happened last night.
He picked his sword solemnly and stepped out of the room sadly.
Rita was at the door listening to their conversation.
Adriel moved back a little bit and stepped to a side so she could enter but she didn’t.
“What now? Have you been eavesdropping?”He asked in a low voice.
“That’s rude, Adriel”She warned with her voice shaking and he apologized begrudgingly before making her leave.
“You should heal, Bottling everything up won’t solve this, I know how life was cruel and hard on you but we all had it in a hard way the same as you did, Give it a chance”She said to him softly, Adriel didn’t bother to turn back at her until she talked again.
“If you want to sleep with her again, Do it gently, You almost broke her waist”She mumbled in a low tone and he walked out of the compound finally without uttering a word.
•
Onida did her work on the farm mindlessly that day since she didn’t have much to do.
She was curious and confused about the Master words”
Is he planning to punish her again or wants to apologize by granting her the freedom of letting her go to the garden?
Her waist hurts so badly that she wondered what was wrong with her because the Master didn’t sleep with her last night.
After resting for the fifth time in the day, she returned back to the house tiredly.
Eleanor helped her with the basket as usual and relayed Rita’s message to her.
She wants to see her.
Onida told her to wait till she took her bath so they could leave together and after some minutes, they all strode to Rita’s room.
Their food has been dished but in a more special way.
There are lots of side dishes which Onida hasn’t tasted for years and her eyes beamed happily.
“Is this for us?”Eleanor asked gleaming and Rita walked towards them with a jar of cold water and she shook her head.
“This is for Onida”She warned her in a stern voice and Onida smiled softly.
“If this is what happened last night, Eleanor and I should be the one to eat this, I persuaded her to tell me what happened”She confessed and Rita’s eyes softened a bit.
“You can enjoy the food together, I have things to do in the kitchen”She said pointing to the food on the floor and they started eating immediately.
After a few minutes, Onida couldn’t eat anymore as she was tired.
She excused herself and joined Rita in the kitchen.
She wasn’t doing anything but watching the firewood burn.
Her eyes gleamed as if she was crying and Onida walked closer to her.
“You’re here”She said almost in a loud voice as she was surprised to see her.
“You didn’t like the food?”She asked, cleaning her eyes and Onida shook her head.
“I enjoyed it, I just couldn’t eat anymore”She mumbled and sat beside her on the bare floor.
“Why did you do that last night?, I’m sure Azazel dealt with you last night”She said with a dry chuckle and Onida scoffed.
“It doesn’t matter, I was able to achieve what I wanted to.”
“I can’t thank you, But I promise to make a dish like this for you once in a while.”
“Thank you”She thanked her and bowed slightly before going back to the room.
Eleanor was almost done with her portion, Onida ate a little before going back to her room.
She was very tired and stressed for no reason.
She decided to take a short route to her room which she had to pass through the garden and Azazel personal guards were there.
She bowed softly and made to leave but remembered Azazel’s words.
Onida stared back at the guards in a weird manner but their eyes were not focused on him.
She looked up at the sky and the stars were coming out little by little.
Her eyes gleamed happily and sat down with her hands wrapped around her legs and looked up to the sky.
“I wish my life is as beautiful as the sky, So, I won’t have to worry about anything…”
“I could shine brightly as I want and they will make wishes upon me”She mumbled in a soft voice.
“What are you doing?”A cold voice jolted her out of her small meditation and moved back in fear.
Azazel.
“Master”She called for nothing and bowed.
Azazel cracked a little and sat beside her on the bare grass.
He was in simple attire and flat leather shoes.
He crossed his legs flexibly which Onida couldn’t do as she had huge laps and took her eyes away from him.
Azazel dismissed the guards and after they left, He looked up to the sky and took a deep breath before taking his eyes back.
His eyes held no emotions, and he wasn’t indifferent but somehow, he looked like he was losing his mind.
His hair wasn’t properly backed and he dressed differently in the most simple manner which is unlike him.
Azazel liked to dress to the extreme everywhere he went and this made him stand out among others.
Onida noticed it and gathered a little courage in her.
She couldn’t take her mind from what happened last night.
Even though it was explainable as he was deeply hurt, she couldn’t help but be curious.
What could have broken him so much that he couldn’t accommodate anyone into his dark life again?
“Master…”She called in a low voice laced with respect and he hummed without taking his eyes away from the grass and Onida gulped down nothing.
“Did you want to make a wish as the stars are just coming out?”
