I was completely stunned. Had Helene really said that sentence aloud, or had I simply imagined it
Leave Yurene? With her?
As the shock of her proposal died down. I realized that Ronald’s fiancee didn’t seem to be joking. Her expression was quite serious. The rosiness of her cheeks had faded and her lips were a solemn, thin line.
“I don’t understand,” I uttered for what felt like the millionth time, and after I glanced around us, I lowered my voice even further. “Helene, you’re betrothed to Ronald, Your wedding is scheduled in less than a month. Why would you leave?”
“Because I don’t want the wedding to happen,” she replied bluntly. “I don’t want to marry Ronald.”
My eyes nearly fell out of my skull and my lips turned into a frown. “I don’t get it. You seem like such a nice couple-”
“It’s nothing but a performance, Helene cut me off and then she shook her head. “I suppose I’m a better actress than 1 thought. It’s the only way I’ve been able to stay alive for so long, My life has depended on my ability to lie and fake complacency.”
After she took a long, deep breath, she took a long sip of her drink and then began to tell her story. She spoke at an incredibly fast speed and kept glancing at the window as she went on. It was apparent that she was making sure that her maid wasn’t going to walk in on our conversation, and with every glance, I felt anxiety swell within me.
What if we got caught?
What would happen to us?
Would we be punished for attempted treason?

Despite my fears, I managed to quell my thoughts and gave Helene my full attention.
She explained to me that she was from the South, She’d been captured by a Northerner while she was on a trip with her parents and two sisters ten years ago when she was only sixteen years old.

When Ronald found her three years ago, she had just killed her last master. He had been a twisted psycho and she couldn t bear his actions any longer. She was forced to take matters into her own hands and poisoned the man’s morning tea
After a moment of pause, she explained that the master was a Lord in Yurene, and one day, Ronald happened to visit him. When he’d arrived and noticed the dead master lying lifeless on the ground, Helene thought she would be executed. But Ronald seemed to have another plan for her.
“He made me an adoptive daughter of the lord,” she explained. “Messed around and forged some official paperwork that made me appear to be a blood relation of that wicked man. Since he’s the king’s brother, the matter was easy enough. He even covered up my former master’s death and had the coroner state that it was a heart attack that killed him.”
“Wow.” I uttered in shock and I shook my head slowly. Poor Helene. To have gone through so much I couldn’t imagine what it had been like to be a slave at such a young age. She’d endured so much.
After a moment, I leaned in closer. So, Ronald saved you?”
Helene’s smile grew sardonic. “I had thought so. Ronald seemed to be so nice back then. He was younger and much more handsome than the masters I’d once served. And he was prestigious, of course. What more could a captive wish for?”
She sighed. “I thought I was lucky. But soon, I knew luck had nothing to do with it. The reason Ronald spared my life and saved me was because he wanted to use me
