Latest website: Castle Thistle.

In a palatial restaurant.

On the slender aristocratic dining table now, there are only the earl in the main seat, and the eldest lady, Liz, a little farther away.

Of course, as well as the sumptuous food on the table, and the number of maids on call on both sides of the wall.

Liz never felt that there was anything in such a dining scene before, after all, it was a daily habit.

But only in the last few days, in Liz's heart, for the first time, a feeling called "coldness" was born.

This eldest lady looked subconsciously at the seat opposite her at the noble long table.

A dress that is out of tune with the Castle of the Earl, even with a smile on her face, she can still tell from the hands she doesn't know where to put it, and the feet that sometimes come together under the dining table, sometimes separate, or every three or four seconds, Every six or seven seconds, his lips will be slightly pursed, and his eyes will look for the black wolf lying beside him, and he will gently stroke it with his hand.

In many small details, she was completely exposed to her nervousness at the moment. It can be said that one of Liz's greatest pleasures every time she eats is to observe the nervousness of the little **** the opposite side and see how she is. Only when you can make progress, you will no longer be so soft and weak.

On the contrary, as mentioned before, the little wolf cub, who is a summoned beast, is almost always by the side of the little girl, but it is much stronger than his summoner.

I don't know if it's because of being a monster of a higher bloodline, in short, this summoned beast named "Little Black" is not afraid of humans at all, and even said that it gives Liz the feeling that it is more like disdain for humans. , even for himself and his father.

By the way, it is not allowed to tell outsiders, especially Vivienne, but Liz feels that as a summoner, she has a flat chest, but the little wolf cub always likes to drill on the big sister, presumably this is also, why Vivi Ann always cares so much about the reason for that kind of thing.

What a nasty little monster!

Although the time spent with Vivian was not long, it was just a meal scene, and the beautiful memories that emerged in Liz's mind were one after another.

It can be said that it is more than what Liz has experienced here in the past ten years. No, it is just a blank sheet of paper, where can there be any experience?

Yes, it may be a bit unbelievable to say, but Vivienne is indeed the first person Liz can use the word "friend" to describe since she was a child.

How do you say that sentence, people are not afraid of the dark until they see the first ray of sunshine.

Liz is like that now.

When the good memories faded away, and when she appeared opposite her, there was no simple little girl from the countryside, and naturally it was even less likely that there would be that cute and snooze black wolf cub.

Right now, Liz could only see a luxurious and exquisite chair with an aristocratic appearance, but the person on the chair had long since disappeared.

"What's the matter, Liz, what's on your mind? Can you tell my father? I'm very willing to listen to my precious daughter's troubles."

Earl Sisle's voice sounded at this time, pulling Liz back to reality from some indescribable negative emotion.

"I'm fine with my father, I'm worried about my father." Liz replied quickly, using a very standard aristocratic speaking style.

And in the count's eyes, under the words of his daughter, a gloomy and cold color disappeared for a while.

Because the original Liz was not like him.

But since returning from the fund-raising dinner that day, although Liz pretended to inadvertently and asked herself some details about that day, how keen Earl Sisle was, he immediately noticed the abnormality of his daughter, at least he was the first Once from Liz's body, I felt a ... doubt about myself.

Although it was very light, Earl Sisle knew that when a crack appeared in the egg, no matter how small it was, it would become bigger and bigger over time.

but...

Humph...

"Liss, as I said, we don't have to be so polite among our family. No matter what, you must believe that your father will always be your most solid backing!"

The count smiled and walked to his daughter's place, stroking Liz's long blond hair.

"Well, father..."

Feeling his father's warm and firm palm, the familiar affection quickly filled the vacancy in Liz's heart.

She nodded, her tone obviously becoming a little closer again.

"Oh, one more thing."

"Liz, don't go out and leave the manor for a while." Before leaving the restaurant, the count finally turned his head and said to Liz.

Although it was a negotiating tone, there was still an unmistakable taste.

"Huh? Why, father?"

"Didn't you read today's newspaper? Liz, the commercial street where the explosion occurred before was burned down again last night, hey, I understand the city guards, they have just experienced such a big disaster, it must have been recently There will be a shortage of manpower, and even the security in the inner city has deteriorated, so Liz, please stay in the castle steadily during this time."

After a brief explanation, the Count left the restaurant without giving Liz a chance to speak again.

Where did it come from before?

Oh, yes, the chick in the egg will one day break out of the crack and see the outside world.

But what the chick won't know is that before she can truly see the outside world, there is a cage that is stronger than an egg shell waiting for it.

And the name of this cage is called Feeding Farm.

After the earl finished eating, Liz didn't want to eat anymore. She had no appetite and returned to her room in a hurry.

Asking for a newspaper from the servant, Liz glanced around and quickly read the "exploding" news her father mentioned at breakfast.

If it was put in the past, Liz would take a second look when she died, and put it aside, instead of reading it word by word as she is now, for fear of missing some information.

To ask why?

Simple.

As a participant in the personal experience of the "first explosion" in the commercial street, Liz knows that the explosion is related to that **** young man... Well, forget it, it's too troublesome to call four words every time, so I should just call it... . Call his name, white.

Just because of trouble, definitely not because of anything else!

Liz's thinking is actually the same as Teddy's. Both of them subconsciously think that the two explosions are still in the same place, so it is naturally the same person.

"Bai... What are you doing?" A muttered voice came from the eldest lady's boudoir.

And when Liz saw it, in the news in the newspaper, it was mentioned that the city guards official said that this incident involved the participation of the "treasure robbery group", and the other party, the conflicting forces were still investigating.

This made the eldest lady a little uneasy.

Treasure gang?

Could it be... Could it be because after Bai rescued himself, he was hated by the stolen treasure group, so he wanted to take revenge on him?

The more I think about it, the more I think it's possible.

Liz knows that Bai may be a very powerful mage, but no matter how powerful he is, he is only one person. Can he still be compared with the largest underground black force in Huodian City, the treasure thief group?

No, nothing will happen! ?

The outcome of the event?

Are there any casualties?

Bai, how is Bai?

The things that Liz paid the most attention to were definitely not found in ordinary newspaper news, which made the eldest young lady feel a little restless.

It was even said that in Liz's mind, an idea began to expand more and more.

She wants to go out.

Take a look at the location of the incident.

Try to find more clues, or, again... Be more direct, didn't Bai say that as long as she touches the contract on the souls of the two, it is equivalent to calling, no matter where she is, Bai will be the first Appeared in front of her for a while.

Although she seems, it seems, she has probably said something cruel, saying that she will never take the initiative to find Bai in her whole life.

But, this... this is an emergency, um, yes, that's right! Cruel words don't count!

The more I miss it, the more determined it is.

Even though her father warned her once at breakfast, Liz still decided that she was going out!

After the big deal, I will explain and apologize to my father.

In Liz's impression, no matter what mistakes she made, her father would tolerate her and never scolded or beat her.

Just do it!

Miss Liz has always been an activist.

But just as she was about to leave the room, Liz stood in front of the fitting mirror in the room, looking at her boring home clothes. After some hesitation, the eldest lady ran to the closet.

then.

After an hour and a half.

Hair accessories, gloves, dresses, and sleeves with slightly exposed shoulders.

The first three are all light and comfortable fabrics. The color matching uses the dark red that Liz likes as the base color, and is decorated with dark patterns. It is casual and dignified, and it is bright but not too eye-catching.

The sleeves are matched with black, not the tight-fitting type, but slightly larger, a little maid-style, but more delicate and loose, which not only brings a sense of intimacy, but also looks very classical and charming.

As for the over-the-knee stockings and boots, there is no need to mention the blush on the cheeks, let alone the eyeliner on the corners of the eyes, but why does it exude a very pleasant light fragrance after coming out? Woolen cloth? Oh, it turned out to be sprayed with perfume.

Why, before girls go out, don't they have to simply put on makeup.

Be fully prepared.

Liz got into action.

With her familiarity with the Castle of the Earl, she was completely able to do it, bypassing all the places where servants might pass by or be found, and Liz sneaked into one of the back doors that were not commonly used in the castle.

In order not to let her father find out and stop herself, Liz could only choose this method to sneak out of the castle first.

But just as Liz was about to reach out to open the door...

"Miss."

In vain.

Not far behind him, a sudden voice sounded from this remote back door.

Liz had just reached out, and the hand of the iron gate covered with vines immediately retracted like an electric shock.

Anyone who is suddenly called from behind will be shocked, right?

Especially when you're still doing the wrong thing.

Liz turned around abruptly, and then, the scene that made her limbs go cold again appeared in front of the girl.

Because, I saw a maid standing there at the place where she just passed by, and the maid was staring at her with a stunned face and a look without emotion. .

It gave Liz the feeling that the other party was not a living person, but... a dead thing and a puppet was watching her.

"Do...what are you doing?" Liz suppressed the panic in her heart.

She blamed this feeling, maybe it was only after she was discovered that she had done something bad.

"Miss, the Count has instructed that you are not allowed to leave the castle in the near future." The maid's cold voice sounded.

"What's your name and what position?" Liz asked suddenly.

"Miss, my name is Linna, and I'm the new deputy head maid."

"Hmph, so you know that you are a maid yourself? The deputy head maid is also a maid. I think you should have no right to interfere with my behavior, right?"

Miss Liz's aura was full, and under the majestic voice of dissatisfaction, if it was a normal maid, she would have to kneel on the ground long ago.

On the other hand, Linna, after bowing like an apology, said:

"If the eldest lady still insists, I will report all these to the count."

Ignore this Linna.

Liz went straight through the maid and returned to the castle.

In the corridor, the girl changed her appearance and began to frown, constantly recalling and thinking in her mind, how did that Lina appear.

It stands to reason that I have carefully confirmed the whole process, and no one found her at all, but Linna gave Liz the feeling that she had been following her secretly until she found out that her real purpose was to leave the castle. Suddenly appeared behind her.

not right...

Very wrong!

Especially Linna's expression and state at that time.

Liz felt a chill in her heart when she thought about it now.

no!

It can't be just that.

The girl pursed her lips. In order to find out the truth, she planned to do an experiment.

This time, she turned around to observe secretly, and waited until Linna went to the other end of the castle, which was the opposite of hers, while she was busy with other chores.

Liz reappeared at the back door of the previous castle.

And when she reached out to the iron fence.

"Miss."

The same time, the same place, and even the same cold limbs, no, more than the same, it is already cold.

Because the owner of the voice changed this time, when Liz turned around suddenly, there was another new maid behind her, but the face was new, but with the label of paralysis, the godless stared at her again. The eyes are exactly the same as Linna before!

Weird!

So...weird!

This time, Liz no longer communicated with the new maid~www.mtlnovel.com~ She pushed it away directly, and then sprinted back into the castle, her own room.

But what Liz didn't expect at all.

When she slammed the door shut with a "bang", she was gasping for breath with her head against the door.

"Miss."

From behind Liz, in her room.

A dark place in a dead end.

It came again, this Liz has heard it no less than a thousand times, but only today, it is these three words that the girl doesn't want to hear again.
