Morna : Goddess Of Death 29 Trap Within A Trap

Mary, Roma, Lily and Rose bowed in front of me while carefully masking their expression I smiled at them trying to bring them to ease but instead a flash of fear came to their faces. At that time Rose the chief maid could only imagine a smile on tiger's face while smiling at poor Bambi.

Morna folded her hand over her lap and asked in the mild tone " I want to know all the things that happened in underworld while I was in other dimension Rose replied instantly " My lady their were many speculation on your success and some rumours were seen in between that you have failed the test"

"And what was the public reaction" asked Morna, Lily came forward and replied

" My lady no one dared to say any negative speculation about you, even if someone said a word they were sent to two level below them by Overlord ".

As she finished her report Morna looked at Roma and asked her to comb her hair, which was interesting as her dress, hair and makeup was Rose and Lily's duty and Roma dealt with room cleanliness and wardrobe maintenance whereas Mary worked as guard of her chamber. So, this duty was like a promotion for her

Rose and Lily being working in underworld far longer than other two knew that what master decide they should never object as their worth can easily be seen by their loyalty whereas Roma was gloating inside as she combed Morna's hair when she noticed shining Amethyst on her neck which made her movement to jerk causing pain in Morna's scalp when she apologized Morna asked Rose to do the combing as her mission was complete and she could smell disloyalty from her pore which made her disgusted.

Rose was calm as ever there was no happiness neither excitement was seen for regaining her job which pleased Morna as she liked her maid inclined to her needs, not their own self importance, after a while she let them go when she saw Mary place some incense in her room when she asked her about it she replied " this is provided from Overlord's palace and Roma gave me this to put it in your room, my Lady"

Morna smirked this was what she knew about will happen when she noticed Roma observing her amethyst while combing her hairs. A conversation flashed in her eyes when she came back from her test doctors told Overlord that nails on Lucas hands were tinged by deadly poison but her body did not give any reaction to that, which indicates her body continence was made to resist all form of poison whether ingested or through smell, So, she let Roma trap herself with her sticky fingers into the trap she crafted.

After one hour she heard disturbance outside her chamber where Roma asked Mary to let her sleep outside her chamber because she was not feeling sleepy, So she could guard her door properly which the latter accepted as Morna could only roll her eyes when she pretended to sleep.

After one hour a slight creek was heard when she entered her chamber walked to her bed Morna maintained her posture, when she worked as a.s.sa.s.sin under her Gramp's instructions first thing she learnt was stillness and immobility.

when she felt probing touch on her neck and amethyst was pulled out slowly, if it had been an original amethyst it would have been impossible to remove it from the chain but when stupidity comes awareness goes, so she let them follow her to the doom like a bagpiper.

Level 2 of h.e.l.l

Excouncilman Roark's Courtyard

Myra stood at her window gazing at Overlord palace, it was so huge it could be seen from anywhere and any level of h.e.l.l for good soul it was protective shield whereas for bad, cruel souls it was Overlord's gloating letting them feel fear inside their soul

A servant came inside the courtyard hidden inside a cloak asking to meet Lady Myra earlier if not ordered by the Lady herself they would have arrested him but prewarned they let the person inside "Lady Myra this is the small token of my fealty towards you and Lord Roark this is the soul stone given to Morna but I stole it for you this has Overlord's essence stored inside it without it she can't marry Overlord and will become Target of shame, please accept the gift"

All Myra heard was essence of Overlord she held the soul stone in her hand cradled it like a child and put it over her neck, while an evil smile flashed on her face, Now Morna let's see who will marry Overlord finally it's time to take revenge, she glanced at the maid and smiled at her calmly " you have helped me today I will do as promised from now on you are my father's mistress and in one year you will be promoted to chief wife but tomorrow you need to be with Morna to keep an eye on her".
