As the Dinner continued , Marco still couldn't find a way to talk to the mystery man . As he looked at the maids , he noticed that some of them had a bruise on the wrists . It was probably because of changing these drapes he thought - These monsters .
As everyone started getting up after the Dinner , he saw the man go discreetly over a hollow shadow . Before he could take a glance over which room he was going to , the mother suddenly looked at him and blocked his view by smiling at her face up front.
"What has you so interested dear...?" she said while clenching the gown she wore as her red lipsticks tinted and aligned to the question .
"Oh... Uh Nothing.. I was just wondering about that person, Um at the end of the table ?" and the mother gave the most vile look as she said , "Oh Well i must warn you beforehand dear , He is just some traveler . Don't kindle with him , it makes Ralph very mad " .
And she left to whatever witch lair she had arose from . Marco was still in awe and doubt and as he wanted to get out fast , he decided to pay the man a visit.
As the Night sat on the Palace , Marco had some investigations to do for himself . He got out of bed and looked through the Hallway for any person and then headed straight for the shadow corridor .
It was dark and gloomy and definitely cold as he walked with no slippers making zero to no noise . As he entered the hallway , he saw three doors so he opened the first one and saw the storage unit and he started to hear some huffing noises and moaning of some sort .
I mean nobody would be doing something nasty .... right? . He thought to himself as he went towards the second room , which had all the noises conjured . As he opened the Door his eyes were shook at the sight that he saw .
It was a maid still in her outfit and she was tied to the bedframes as she moaned heavily with sweat dripping of her head as a man with ginger hair was fucking her form front . As the sounds were clearly coming from this room , The man looked at him in aggression as if Marco had interrupted a tiger while he was feasting on the food . Literally .
As oblivious Marco was , he closed the door in utter shock as he moved forward with horror in his face . The last door arrived , Marco slightly bended over to the door while avoiding creaking on it as he listened inside . A thing he should've done earlier and he didn't hear anything .
So he opened the door and saw the man siting on the others ide of the bed and his head slightly on the mantle as he leaned towards it . Marco went upfront and saw the man crying to himself .
What could have possibly had happened to him that he was crying and as he moved forward towards him , he noticed in that split second - He had a knife .
