chapter 8

Even when closed, she could still discern a weird horrid smell, also as of lately she notice that the castle staff was busy moving all type of weird medicinal herbs and many other kinds of plants and flora into the castle, and recently there also has been ordering that some of these floras were in need to be delivered into Leonard room.

"Maybe he's sick…" she thought "Or maybe he's trying to create poison..wait if that's the case then won't I be a guinea pig for his poison?!"

Soon her imagination began to run wild.

She then knocks on the door before slowly pushed it open.

Inside the room was dark, revealing on the light of a fire within the stove which was placed neatly in one corner of the room near the now blocked window.

In the middle of the room was a table, on top of it were a glass jar filled with an unknown black liquid and behind the table was Leonard himself.

Again the dreadfulness washed over Claire once again.

"Ahhhh! He's going to use me as a guinea pig after all!"

She cried bitter tear on the inside but doesn't dare to show it on the outside.

"Come, sit down." Leonard, her to sit on the opposite side of him.

"Alright...Claire do you know why I specifically called you here?" He asked.

She shakes her head.

"Whatever you up, certainly isn't something good at all!" she thoughted.

He then pushed the jar that contained the black liquid toward her.

"I want you to apply this on to your face," he commanded.

"I'm doom...so doom...mom before I die I just want to tell you that I love you." she weeps bitterly on the inside but forced to maintain that poker face.

She took the jar and then removed the lid.

She used her finger and dipped it into the liquid.

A weird sensation immediately coated her finger.

The liquid texture could only be described as disgusting, it moving her finger through mud, the sensation was cold.

She bitted her lips hard before bringing the finger coated with the "Mud" on to her face.

She began to wipe and spread it over her cheek.

Unexpectedly after a few seconds, the "Mud" began to absorb into her skin and leaving no traced on the outside, the same applied to her finger as well.

However, she notices that the skin on her finger, the one that touched the "Mud" seen to be a lot of fairer than the area that wasn't touching.

"How do you like my special skin care product?" Leonard smiled deviously at her.

"Eh?" that is all she could mutter out of her mouth.
