Chapter 0008

“Master Lucius, if we don’t start going after Ms. Agatha, then…” George spoke anxiously while he was standing behind Lucius. But before he could finish, Lucius vanished.

Violet was not prepared for the sudden change in the ground and thought she had stepped in a trap. But traps typically collapsed immediately, and her upper body was still above it. She was sinking too, but not at a fast pace. It was cold, and water instantly soaked her pants and reached her waist. She was standing in mud and water.

“Oh god! It’s a swamp!”

The alarms in Violet’s head started blaring when she realized what she had gotten herself into. Instantly, cold sweat began to roll down and coat her entire back. She struggled instinctively, but every time she moved, she sank even further. Even when she did not move, she still sank, just more slowly.

At the rate it was going, she would be completely submerged in the swamp and drown in less than thirty minutes.

Only then did Violet realize why there were no guards stationed at the castle walls and why the palace’s security was so lax.

The swamp was a natural barrier. No one was allowed in, and those who were inside could not leave.

Someone save her!

Violet’s heart began to race in fear, and she struggled once more, but the water had already reached her chest. She started to panic as she sank further. She began to move in a flurry and use her hands to pull herself up, but this only caused her to become even more trapped.

Suddenly, she noticed that someone was walking in her direction.

“Help me!” she yelled. Violet waved at the person. Her eyes welled up with tears, and her voice quivered.

However, the man came to a stop a meter from her. He never offered to lend a hand and just stood there as if he were casually watching a
