18-The dungeon

Damon kept on pestering and teasing Grace.

Grace was really annoyed but she didn't dislike it.

*knock! knock!*

"My lady, may I please come in?"asked a maid

Grace said "yes."

Damon quickly turned into a small wolf

The girl who entered her room had green hair and hazel eyes, she was wearing a maid uniform. She bowed down before Grace and said"My lady, I'm sorry for not introducing myself earlier. My name is Mary, I am chosen by the duke to look after you."

Grace smiled and said"Mary, I'm going to be under your care."

Mary was caught by a surprise. The adorable kid was gone, a deadly beautiful lady remained.

Grace smiled made her eyes blind. The beauty was too deadly even for her heart and eyes.

Mary composed herself and said"My lady, it's time for lunch. The duke and duchess had called for you to come and eat in the dinning table."

Mary carefully dressed Grace up and she showed her the way to the dinning table.

Damon did not follow them, he didn't have any interest. He just wanted to sleep.

"My dear, you are finally here!"said her grandmother

Grace smiled brightly.

The whole dining hall became quiet, Grace was too breathtaking.

Grace saw her uncle Ron and aunty Isabel together. She saw them sitting together like newly weds.

"Yes, grandfather, grandmother, aunty and uncle I'm here."said Grace as she sat in the dining table

"Son, when do you plan to marry Isabel?"asked her grandmother to her uncle.

Ron smiled and replied"I'm going to marry her as soon as possible. The nearest date possible."

Grace teasingly asked"Grandfather and grandmother, why don't we just plan the wedding tomorrow? My aunty Isabel and uncle Ron has to give me baby siblings as fast as possible."

Ron and Isabel looked ashamed.

Her grandparents laughed.

The whole environment was peaceful.

Grace looked at her environment and couldn't help but be very thankful and grateful for what she received. The food she ate is so delicious and tasty. The clothes she wears is beautiful and comfortable. Without realising her tears began to fall.

Everyone looked worried.

"Grace is the food not to your liking? Why are you crying my dear?"asked her grandfather in concern.

Grace shook her head and said"I miss my brother, I miss him so much! I want to meet my brother but I don't even know where he went. I wonder if he is living well? Is he sleeping well? I'm really happy but what about him? Is my brother still suffering? I really miss him a lot."

Isabel went towards Grace and consoled her"My beautiful niece, you don't have to worry too much, I will do whatever to find him. If you don't mind, can you give me his description? Can you draw his portrait? I can asked all my relatives to look our for him."

Grace eyes sparkled and asked"Really?"

Isabel nodded her head.

Grace immediately began to use her magic to show her brother's image.

A handsome, otherworldly man with blonde hair and emerald eyes appeared in front of everyone. The man looked very gentle and kind.

Isabel gasped"How can this be possible? This man is he really your brother?"

Grace nodded her head.

Isabel sigh and said"Grace, if he is your brother than I am really sad to inform you that he is not in this world right now."

Grace looked shocked"No this cannot happen my brother cannot die."

"No Grace, I don't mean that your brother is dead. he is just not in this realm. He should be in the dungeon. That place only opens every 100,000 years. No one can leave that place until they spend 10 years in the dungeon or find their way out. The dungeon had opened a few years ago, now the entry to the gates should be closed already. So, even if we wanted to save him. We cannot enter the dungeon.

Grace, don't worry. He will not die that easily. I cannot explain to you everything but trust me he will not die. He is one of the strongest person I have ever met, he might not be as strong as you but he is not that far off. He is a genius. He went to that dungeon 5 years ago, we can only pray that he quickly finds the way."explained Isabel

After hearing Isabel's explanation, she was still worried but she believed in her aunt's words. So she chose to believe in her brother and wished him all the best from all of her heart.

Ron and her grandparents were also shocked to hear about this news from Isabel but they trust her judgement. They also prayed that her brother will be fine.
