My Corpse Husband (MGL series Book 1)

Chapter 13

"My Lord, It is my pleasure to be standing before you." Blythe bowed gracefully, showing ample amount of her chest with an alluring smile. Lord Knight was sitting in his chair regally in the meeting hall and was holding a cane. The cane he was holding looked different.

It was black and the top of the cane was holding a metal bird with its feathers out. The bird was holding a skull under its paws which gave the cane a very dangerous and powerful appearance.

Lord Knight gave an overall look to her. Though his eyes were looking predatorily, his words and actions were quite a mystery.

"Sure it is pretty pleasurable." One side of Lord Knight's mouth turned upwards into a smirk. "Are you here for any prominent reason, Miss Garrick?" Blythe blushed at the way her name rolled out the Lord's mouth.

He was interested in her and she could feel it. He was looking at her how a looter would look at the treasure and she was enjoying the Lord's attention on her.

"My father sent you a correspondence through me, My Lord. He was expecting me to help you regarding it." Blythe placed the scroll in the guard's hand and smiled at the Lord gracefully. The guard moved to the Lord and gave him the scroll. Lord Knight opened the scroll gazing pointedly at Blythe and read the content in the correspondence.

Yet again the Lord's mouth formed into a mysterious smile. "Absolutely I cannot fulfill my duties towards your town without your help. Your father is a clever person to send you here for help but dear, he is also witless to send you into my territory alone." The Lord scoffed in entertainment. He was enjoying at how the fate brought one of his prey into his hold so naturally.

He laughed at the entertaining play of events.

"My Lord?" Blythe blanched at the Lord's words. She knew that the Lord was too dangerous and mysterious to play with but she did not feel anything wrong with the Lord. She just felt him so mannish and dark.

"I have a very strong bone of justice, Miss Garrick. Once I receive something, I would take liberty to do complete justice to it; in this case – complete justice to that person." The Lord's words made her happy. He was thinking to make her his and she couldn't be happier that the Lord was getting affected by her beauty.

"Lyndon, show Miss Garrick to the visitor room in the eastern wing and assign Lucy at her service." The Lord ordered the butler who was standing at door folding his hands back in respect. Lyndon scurried away to the Lord in hurry and took the sachet that Blythe was holding, escorting her out of the room.

"Beware of keeping what you see in my terrain to yourself, Miss Garrick. I am called the evil for nothing." The Lord's nonchalant warning sent shivers through her spine.

If she mistook the Lord to be courteous then he was clearly showing how naïve she was in thinking so. There was something about the Lord that felt so frightening to Blythe. Definitely he was so remarkable and attracting but his eyes, his eyes held evil fantasies in them.

Blythe was taken to the large guest room that she would be staying in and to say she was amazed by the luxurious room is an understatement. It was a large room with a huge bed covered in golden silk sheets. There was a large feather hand fan which amazed her again. She was feeling like a queen to be in the mere room.

Her help, Lucy got all her clothes arranged in their designed place. Lucy helped Blythe change into fresh clothes and arranged warm bowl of water for washing her face. Once she was fresh, Lucy took her discarded clothes to wash them.

"So, what kind of person is the Lord?" Blythe pried to get knowledge about the mysterious Lord for his staff. She wanted to influence Lucy and use her to get information she needed.
