"Kids, just eat her!" Those were the words that filled Madison's ears in a split second.
Confusion was rampant because she couldn't dismantle her identity as a Gamma. That would get her killed.
However, if she remained silent to wait for the mutant wolves to eat her, then all of her efforts would have been in vain.
As the mutant wolves leaped through the air and spat out corrosive rotting saliva from the corners of their mouths, a flash of memory appeared. It was the moment she was in the basement with Prime Minister Douglas and the others.
"The maid selection for Majestic Castle is very strict, sir," said Madison at the time, who was no longer bound by the coal chains. "Only Omegas and Delta mixes are allowed. It's impossible to trick Delta who is on duty there. They have strong magic power in their fields."
"Have you forgotten that you are fighting under our rule, Madison?" asked Prime Minister Douglas with a gentle smile. "We have predicted everything. Therefore, we will do something for you so that you can pass the selection process."
The image blurred as Madison remembered that she drank a blue liquid that was placed in a glass vial. The memory was too painful, as painful as when it gave a reaction in her body. Her skin felt like it was being pulled tight and then burned, followed by a piercing pain sensation all over her body.
At that time, she thought it was just a trap, and then she would die. But this time she assumed that the yard of the Labor Management Castle would be her grave, because the mutant wolves were already two inches in front of her face, ready to pounce on her.
The corrosive saliva would injure her skin until it rotted. The decay would spread to all vital areas and then make her die before finally being eaten by the mutant wolves.
Her claws almost appeared because at that time she still wanted to stay alive. The possibility of her identity being exposed didn't matter now.
Fortunately, just before a mutant wolf's tip touched her skin, a sword drew its fiery power, causing the mutant wolves to retreat while grinning.
Their corrosive saliva splashed and hit the hem of Madison's dress. It at once caught fire and was hollow in no time.
"I'm not even done talking," said a Delta. He was Delta in charge of selecting today's aura. He was also the one who saved Madison from the mutant wolves.
"What do you mean?" another Delta asked. "Didn't you say that she was an intruder?"
"I told you that she was neither an Omega nor a Delta."
"It's just the same. If she's not one of them, then she's an intruder…"
"A human," interrupted the aura reader Delta. "She is a human being."
Everyone gasped, and so did Madison. Prime Minister Douglas said nothing about this. He only said that she would pass the selection.
"A human?" Delta attracted the mutant wolves by giving them several pieces of venison from the basket. His face looked disgusted as he studied Madison. "Why would a lowly human being dare to visit the area of the sacred werewolves? She shouldn't have done it. What are we going to do with her? Even she is too dirty to be used as animal feed. She also falsified her identity on the registration form."
"A human." All the tributes behind Madison whispered in disdain though a few of them looked up curiously.
Humans were believed to have become extinct millions of years ago. None of the werewolves found them except for a few who made it look cool because they found a rare species.
After all, the level of humans in this world was even lower than livestock. Their meat was considered unclean for consumption. They were categorized as parasitic creatures that needed to be eradicated. Therefore, seeing Madison who they thought was a human being naturally shocked everyone while giving horror in disgusted facial expressions.
"Maybe you've misjudged," said another Delta. "She can't be a human. They have long been extinct."
But the Delta aura reader insisted. "My judgment is never wrong. I have the divine ability of the Moon Goddess passed down from my ancestors. I can perceive the auras of all beings in this world, and she is a human. Now, what are we going to do with her?"
'A human?' Madison thought through clenched fists. 'If my aura is changed to that of a human then it means I will be killed for being considered a parasite. Is this just a trap by those prime ministers because I have become a hitman who threatens the credibility of their power?'
Madison comes close to doubting the prime ministers and chooses to withdraw from the mission. But fortunately, she was allowed to continue following the selection.
"All lowly creatures are allowed to participate in this selection. So, she still passes the criteria! And for falsification of identity, we understand it. I'm sure she did it because she needed a job."
That was what made her pass through various levels of the assessment until she became one of the participants who passed the selection.
Out of a total of around 10,000 participants, only 10 passed it. A sore comparison. All participants who passed were escorted to Majestic Castle.
Madison and nine other maids had now arrived at the Mourn Chasm, the most vicious in the world. They boarded a skeleton ship that could float through the fog and the chasm.
Their journey took half a day before they finally arrived at the Majestic Castle that stood across the Mourn Chasm.
"Get down from all of you and follow me!" A werewolf from the Gamma clan picked them up. He was wearing a formal dress in red and gray. A gold badge was on the left chest. It was pretty much the same as the one on the Alpha that Madison killed.
All participants dismounted and followed the instructions. The gigantic skull ship transporting them had retreated in constant motion until it finally disappeared behind the thick fog.
The Majestic Castle looked majestic as well as terrifying. But that was precisely its charm. The tall gate creaked slightly, mutant tendrils that could bite you at any moment, green grass stretched like a giant carpet, and a castle that looked darker than night. However, you could see how much power was stored within it just by glancing at it.
It was already dusk. The participants lined up in a vacant area on the castle grounds. They got a division of tasks.
Most of them were placed in the antiquities maintenance section while Madison was stationed in the Main Castle, where the Supreme Lycan was located.
"Maya, follow me!" said Gamma, who called Madison by her pseudonym.
They passed through the relatively somber and dark path of the maids. But because of expert maintenance, the path still looked comfortable to walk.
They arrived at a very magnificent room with a door made of gold. Aromatherapy candles and two guards in the form of Lycan statues were placed in front of it. Madison was asked to come in and complete her first task.
"I read your documents, and you turned out to be a human. I purposely gave you this assignment because all of your test scores were very good. Don't let me down or you will end up on the execution stake!" The Gamma left after making that threat.
No maid could survive as well as Madison amid the Gammas' cruelty, because she was one of them.
She entered the Supreme Lycan's room. Inside were thousands of aromatherapy candles to help him breathe and also relax.
A magnificent room with a variety of extraordinary architecture. A large bed with pillows and sheets made of gold. On top of it laid a Lycan who looked very pale and old. In both hands appeared claws that were very sharp and sometimes emitted fire.
"This is my first assignment," said Madison as she looked at the Supreme Lycan. "I have to bathe him carefully. It's an easy job, but with this task, I'll have a hard time discovering the Crown Prince's secret. What should I do?"
She was pacing up and down. The lowly maid dress swayed as her body moved. Not long after her steps stopped because she remembered something.
"I can absorb the powers of other werewolves. Even though some power will kill me if I absorb a bit from Supreme Lycan, maybe I will find something." She nodded confidently. "Sometimes that power gives some memories of the owner. It will be very useful."
She had already made a decision. With that conviction, she stepped forward to hold the Supreme Lycan's shriveled hand. Her heart froze in the middle of her attempts to absorb his strength.
But dammit…
BAM!
The door to the room was slammed. Madison's frozen heart finally heated up in shock. She almost turned her head to know who had come. But in an instant, her body had been dragged and hit the wall when her neck was strangled by a man.
He looked tall with jet and shiny hair. Eyes clear but deadly. A cold and domineering aura that suffocated her without him even doing anything. Then most importantly, a crown perched on his head.
"Crown Prince!" Madison stammered.
"Crown Prince!" Madison said, stammering, feeling her burn and pain neck.
This was not the ordinary neck strangling, but it was the one of Crown Prince Lycan who was famous for his supernatural powers. The rumors said that only by looking at his eyes, an enemy could die.
Fears ambushed Madison. She didn't want to die. But damn it! She couldn't even speak of anything else. The good looks of the Crown Prince were seen fading as she almost fainted.
"What are you doing? Do you want to hurt my father? Why did you touch his hand like that? "
"N-O!" She hissed hard. "Let me go ... cough!" Her lungs felt shrinking. Soon she must die, until finally ...
"My Lord!" Someone screamed from the door. He was a Gamma who had taken Madison to Supreme Lycan's room. Seeing the chaos caused by a maid he had just delivered had given him an invisible heart attack.
Blood slightly came out of the corner of his lips when he tried to crawl to stop Crown Prince Wald and his terrible strength. "My Lord, let her go! She is His Highness's maid. " His voice was almost softer than the wind. He could die if Crown Prince Wald did not withdraw the divine power that came out of his body.
"What did you say?" asked Crown Prince Wald. His pupils widened with a few very burned sparks. "She is my father's new maid?"
"Right, My Lord," Gamma prostrated under the legs of the Crown Prince. "She just arrived today. Please release her! " When he glanced at Madison, his face turned complicated because he saw her already panting and almost fainted. That was better than she died right then and there.
"Did you forget my instructions?" Snapped Crown Prince Wald, and jerked Madison so she fell on the floor. The aura of his face suddenly became very dark. His royal robes fluttered and threw Madison away. Strangely, a wound was scraped on her cheek because of the tip of it. "I want you to recruit competent and completely clean maids."
"Does she make a mistake, My Lord?"
Madison was still lying weakly. However, when Crown Prince Wald glanced at her, she suddenly felt a painful electric sting all over her body. She immediately sat down while bowing her head, trying to beg for forgiveness. "I have held His Majesty's hand," She admitted. Her eyes were filled with tears. Amid that pain, she glanced at Supreme Lycan who was lying in a coma. Instantly she remembered the massacre that had befallen her family a few tens of thousands of years ago. And all of that was an order from Supreme Lycan.
Hate, revenge, anger, disappointment. Everything just popped up right away, when she finally ran into her death.
Her chest seemed to tremble. Her anger, which was always in a cage, now almost rebelled. Especially when she then saw Crown Prince Wald. The hatred was mounting.
"Tell me why you did that, Maid!" Crown Prince Wald snapped at her while interrupting her reverie.
Her sanity was back and she knew that this was not the time to take revenge. The Lycan family was too strong for her to defeat at this time. And if she was rash then she would not get anything except only death.
'I will crawl under your feet for now,' she thought. 'But soon you will die in my hand.'
Now she prostrated at his feet. "I got the task to bathe His Majesty, My Lord. That's why I touched his hand because I had to clean it. "
After hearing that, the Crown Prince of Wald turned in a very fast movement to a Gamma in front of him. Anger exploded behind silence.
The Gamma shook his head and prostrated many times. His neck could have broken if he kept doing it. "Forgive me, My Lord. I have not explained her task in detail. There are still some tasks that I have to complete, so I am careless. Forgive me, My Lord. "
"Do you know the consequences if my father was touched for too long?" Crown Prince Wald growled.
Madison narrowed her eyes when she heard that. She believed there was a secret that she didn't know. And that might help her to kill the crown prince in the future. 'The secret of a father might also apply to his son.' She nodded confidently.
Crown Prince Wald almost spoke again. But he didn't continue it. Instead, he walked out upset. Before that, he had given an order, "Don't let her be around my father's room again forever!" And the door slammed hard.
Madison collapsed with no remaining courage. Even her esophagus felt dry. The worst part was that she got a slog from Gamma.
"Do you intend to work? Why did you touch His Highness' hands? Your job is just bathing him instead of touching him! Dirty creatures like you shouldn't be here. Never mind, you better just be executed." He almost left after making such a one-sided decision.
Madison, who was surprised, immediately lifted her body and held his legs. Now she begged one thing that he hated the most in her life. "Don't kill me, sir! Please! I need this job. I need to eat and live. Out there ... "She swallowed harshly. "Out there my life is always threatened. There are a lot of wild animals that want to eat me. "
"Your flesh is too rotten for anyone anywhere!" The Gamma kicked her and walked away.
After diving into it, her sad face turned dark. The murderer's soul rose without warning. "If I can't be in this castle because of you, then you have to die."
She took out her claws. The rush sound like a sword filled the room. Her round and innocent eyes were now red. Fangs appeared from the corner of her mouth. After that, she ran to pounce on the Gamma.
He almost screamed but she covered his mouth cleverly. Within seconds he died. But before that, he goggled because he saw that he would finally die at the hands of a lowly servant like Madison.
"You ..." He said, stammering with a moony face.
"I'm not a dirty creature," she said furiously. "And I am the murderer here." She jerked his body after he died.
When his soul came out, she caught several white granules and swallowed them. They were his power which now belonged to her.
She used it to burn his body into ash and was not left.
"If only I could take the strength of everyone I killed, then I would have become the most powerful creature at the moment. Unfortunately, only a few Werewolves have synchronous power with my body. "
After the Gamma had disappeared and died, she began to move and walk to investigate Crown Prince Wald. At least she must find where he is now.
But on the way, she met another Gamma.
"What are you doing here? Aren't you on duty in His Majesty's room? Where is your tutor? "
Madison looked down, looking for several reasons.
Before finding a single, he had narrowed his eyes. "Why are you silent? Where is he? .... Did something bad happen? "
