Journey to Seek Past Reincarnations: Crisis

The next day, I saw the girl from yesterday, and I was relieved. It seems that Sanatesi didn't do anything to her. I took the initiative to chat with her, and found out that her name was Anna, and she lived in a nearby village. Because her family was too poor, she came to work at the Countess's house.

I quickly got acquainted with those maids, but I never heard about Dora. Could it be that she has been locked up? Or is it not here at all? It seems that we still have to explore the castle at night when we have the opportunity. However, I don't want to meet that thousand-year-old fairy again. Although he is handsome, I am a human being, and I don't want to become a vampire like him who lives by sucking blood. Oh, just thinking about it makes my hair stand on end.

Master Seth disappeared after breakfast early in the morning. Naturally, I still have to do what a maid should do, obediently go to Seth's room to clean. As soon as you enter the room, a feeling of oppression hits your face, and the dim light makes you feel depressed. I walked to the window sill and opened the velvet curtains, the sunlight filled the whole room, warm and bright, how nice it is. However, there seemed to be something missing in the room. I looked at the typical baroque garden under the castle, where the bright and seductive roses and rosettes were like a blooming red ocean. So I hurried downstairs, picked a large bunch of red roses, and put them in the white crystal vase in his room.

Sunshine, flowers, his room looks much more comfortable now. Just as I was fiddling with the flowers carefully, I heard an angry voice behind me: "Who allowed you to do this!" Before I could turn around, I saw a white figure rushing over quickly, grabbing the flower with one hand. The roses were thrown out of the window sill.

It was Seth, his usual calm purple eyes were mixed with a trace of complex expressions, not only anger, but also seemed to have many inexplicable emotions.

"You're bleeding..." I said looking at the blood from the rose thorns. Perhaps because of too much force, several spikes penetrated deeply into his palm.

"It's okay, you go out." He returned to his usual cold expression.

"Idiot, you have a thorn in your palm. If you don't remove it in time, you will get inflamed, you know? Don't lose your temper now!" I grabbed his hand and helped him pull out the thorn .

A trace of surprise flashed across his face, and he wanted to withdraw his hand, but I tried hard and gave him another look. He looked at me, but didn't protest anymore.

"Don't move, it will be fine soon." I finally pulled out the last thorn and wiped his hands with clean water. Why does he hate roses so much? Could it be that he pulls the curtains all day just because he doesn't want to see them? these flowers? Why? These are the most beautiful and reddest roses I have ever seen, wait a minute, the most beautiful and reddest? Thinking of the tragedy in this castle, a chill surged in my heart, and a terrifying thought flashed through my mind, could it be that these roses are covered with...

"Hidden." He suddenly called my name.

"What?"

"Do you think these roses are beautiful?"

"It's beautiful."

"Know why I don't like it?"

"I think it's not that the young master doesn't like roses, but he doesn't like what it reminds you of." I blurted out.

His pupils shrank suddenly, and he stared at me firmly. After a while, he suddenly said: "Go out, and draw the curtains for me by the way."

I pulled up the curtain and looked at Seth, his whole body was shrouded in dim light, as if he had also turned into a statue in the castle. This boy must know something...

In the blink of an eye, I have been here for three or four days. Apart from working, there seems to be nothing unusual these days. The countess didn't seem to pay attention to me anymore, and that Sanatus didn't appear again, and everything seemed to be peaceful. In the middle of the night, I also went to find the source of the horror legend, but I still had no clue.

Occasionally, I told Torko a fairy tale by Andersen, but the unintentional behavior resulted in another job now, telling Torko a story every night before going to bed, until he fell asleep .

"...Finally, the ugly duckling finally found that he has become a white swan, praise and pride have replaced the past inferiority and ridicule."

"Yin, the ugly duckling is so pitiful." Little Torko looked at me innocently with wide blue eyes.

"Well, but it still got happiness in the end, didn't it?" I smiled and pulled the quilt for him, and said, "It's time to sleep. If you behave well, I will tell you a story tomorrow."

He blinked again and said, "Yin, can you give me a goodnight kiss?"

Ah, this kid, I froze for a moment, there seemed to be a glimmer of expectation in his eyes. Maybe, he just wants to seek a little warmth. Thinking of this, I lowered my head, kissed him lightly on the forehead, and said, "Good night."

He closed his eyes and smiled contentedly, with a pure and transparent smile, "Yin, I will kiss you goodnight every day from now on."

Such a smile touched my heart. It seems that not long ago, there was a boy who smiled at me like this...

"Okay." I replied without thinking.

Seeing him falling asleep, I just got up, and just turned around, but saw a tall figure standing by the door, I couldn't help being startled. Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Seth. He stared at Xiaotuo with a gentle face, and there was a rare tenderness in his eyes.

"He likes your story very much." He whispered, and his tone was rare and pleasant.

"It's just that stories are stories after all, and reality is cruel. One day, he will understand this." Seth said coldly, changing the subject quickly.

"Then I don't agree with it. Even if the reality is cruel, even if the setbacks and pains in life are inevitable, you must learn to step on them. Only in this way can the ugly duckling become a white swan, isn't it? "I looked into his eyes and said.

His violet eyes darkened, he turned and left without saying anything.

Seeing him leave, I was about to go back. As soon as I walked out of Xiaotuo's room, I saw the fat butler walking over quickly and said, "Yin, you are indeed here. The countess asked you to go there immediately to help her take a bath." .”

My heart skipped a beat suddenly, and the horrible scene of the Countess bathing in blood immediately appeared in my mind. No, no way, this Countess wants to bleed me so soon?

However, maybe this way we can know her secret place...

I nodded and followed the fat butler.

After passing through the spacious hall, the fat butler asked me to wait for her here. I looked around and saw that the hall was empty and the silence was frightening. Under the dim light, my own shadow was stretched and reflected on the wall, swaying and showing a bit of weirdness. Imagining what might happen later, my palms were slightly sweating...

Suddenly there were two more shadows on the wall. The butler led the countess slowly. She had already changed into a simple red robe, red like blood.

"Your Excellency the Countess." I saluted her.

She nodded, smiling like a flower, with a pair of beautiful eyes fixed on my face and neck, her eyes were very excited, so excited that it made people shudder.

I think she is excited to try new blood?

I clenched my hands tightly, and my heart seemed to be beating faster and faster.

She gestured to the butler, who nodded and walked a few steps forward. Just as I was about to wait for her next move, a cold voice came from behind me.

"Mother, where are you taking my maid so late?" I turned around in surprise, and Seth stood behind us expressionlessly.

"Oh, that's right, I just want her to serve me in the bath." The countess smiled calmly.

"Mother, have you forgotten, she is my maid." Seth took a step forward, still staring at his wife.

"Master Seth, I'm free now. If Ma'am needs me, I think it's okay." Although I am a little grateful for his presence here, but at the same time I really want to know the countess's secret place, so I really don't want to. This is messed up.

A flash of anger flashed in his eyes, he walked over quickly, grabbed my wrist, and said, "When will you interrupt me here! Come here!" Pulled over.

"Mother, she hasn't finished her work yet, I think you're going to find someone else tonight." He said while squeezing my wrist fiercely. It hurts so much, I can't see how strong he is.

"If that's the case, forget it." A hint of disappointment flashed in the countess' eyes, but there was still an elegant smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Mother, good night." He also saluted gracefully, pulled me around and left.

"Can you let me go, my hand hurts." I complained, trying to break his hand away.

He didn't pay attention to me either, he kept pulling me into his room, closed the door behind his back, and threw me heavily to the ground. "Ouch, you won't be gentle!" I rubbed the important part that hurt from the fall, and glared at him.

"You will sleep here tonight." He suddenly said this.

"Huh?" The corner of my mouth twitched again, sleeping here? Please, I'm very good at thinking wildly...

"Why?"

"Don't ask why, I am your master, this is an order, you just need to obey it. From now on, you must be within my sight at all times, and be there whenever I am called, understand?" Although his tone was very It's cold, but I feel a little warmth. Maybe he did this to protect me.

"Understood, then, where do I sleep?" I smiled and said.

He glanced at me, a slight smile flashed in his purple eyes, pointed to the ground, and said, "Of course it's here." Seeing my unhappy face, he said again: "Or, Go to bed, sleep with me, if you like, I don't mind."

"I'd better sleep on the floor." I quickly made a wise choice.

As if he knew the answer a long time ago, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and he walked towards his bed.

Tonight, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to fall asleep...
