Kelly slowly crouched down and re-read the words on the tombstone.

Yes, September 30, 1886, is indeed today.

Could it be that a lady named Erin died today, and a tombstone was erected immediately, and who was the "owner" on the tombstone, Veronica?

And there is also a problem with this date of birth, August 7, 1864. If this is the case, the deceased has just celebrated his 22nd birthday, but the tombstone says that the cause of death was old age and died peacefully.

After going through so much, Kelly's first reaction was not to suspect that the epitaph was wrong, but that for some reason, the two mutually exclusive facts happened at the same time.

"Young man, what are you doing here?"

Kelly hurriedly jumped forward, distancing herself from the owner of the voice, and turned her body to face the source of the voice.

The old woman with whom she had a relationship was standing behind her, as silent as the last time she had appeared.

Kelly asked rhetorically:

"What are you doing here?"

The old woman smiled kindly and shook her head:

"Didn't I ask you, did you see your master? ”

Kelly kept her mouth shut.

The old woman sighed:

"I know you may be afraid, but the master is nothing to fear, she's just a poor and pathetic girl. ”

Kelly asks:

"Are you Veronica's most loyal servant, Lady Irene?"

Erin Bertie nodded slightly:

"Scared, you're not a new maid, are you?"

Kelly tried to explain, but Erin interrupted her.

The old woman coughed lightly:

"There is no need to call me Madame, though I may not live as long as you do, but the aging and decay of my mind is indisputable, and I am indeed an old man. ”

Kelly asked:

"Can you tell me what's going on?"

There was a hint of sadness in Erin's eyes:

"Of course, but the longer you stay, the less likely you are to escape from here, but even if you succeed in escaping now, the butler won't let you go. ”

kelly says:

"Please don't worry about my safety. ”

Erin nodded, signaling that she understood.

The old woman looked at her tombstone:

"If you guessed my name, you must have guessed that I'm dead. ”

Kelly hummed with difficulty.

Erin showed a wistful look:

"I don't know much, I'm an orphan, I grew up in the Gawain family, and I've always been accused of being Lord Veronica's maid.

"When I was a child, I was not sensible, so they asked me to play with His Highness. ”

Kelly notices that Erin, who is stuck in memory, refers to Veronica as Her Highness rather than as Master.

"It was probably the happiest time of my life, I played hide and seek with His Highness, playing the game of playing princess, but it was funny, we didn't expect at the time that His Highness was actually a princess himself. ”

A happy smile spread across Erin's face, but soon the smile disappeared without a trace.

"But soon, I don't know what happened, it seems that His Highness passed some kind of test, and her mother did not appear in front of His Highness, and His Majesty did not smile and hug his daughter, but looked at her with cold eyes, as if His Highness was a commodity of high value.

"I also stayed away from His Highness, and they arranged for me to live in an empty room, and after a while, I returned to His Highness's side again, but no longer as a childhood friend, but as a servant who was not allowed to communicate with His Highness.

"I was amazed to find that I was much taller than His Highness, and not only that, but His Highness Veronica looked at me as if I were a stranger.

"Since then, I have gradually realized a terrible truth, that is, in the eyes of the young lady, I am no longer a friend of her age, but a caring big sister.

"As you might guess, I grew up and aged fast.

"In fact, since moving to this cage, the steward has not known where to find a steady stream of servants, and they are all aging as fast as I am, even faster than I am, and all the dead servants are buried here.

"But Her Highness Veronica's heart is extremely kind, she is completely ignorant of everything, and not only that, but she is forbidden to communicate and contact with anyone, and I don't know if Her Highness has a mind that matches her age.

"Listen to my advice, and go away now, and it is better to leave England by train with his family to-morrow, Lord Gaianti does not know what he is doing, but once he is back in the castle, nothing here can escape his eyes. ”

Kelly nodded:

"I will leave as soon as possible. ”

Erin said helplessly:

"I hope you can listen to it, I only know so much, the reason and truth of all this, I can't get access to a little maid. ”

Kelly said sincerely:

"Really appreciate your help. ”

The girl didn't mention running away.

Erin trembled and walked to the tombstone:

"Okay, I'm dead this morning, I really can't let go of Your Highness and just go back and take a few looks, if, I mean if, you really want to change all this, a little bit want to save Your Highness.

"Your best bet is to get out of here, but if you really don't want to leave so easily, then I implore you to save Your Highness.

"This tower has a basement, but this level is completely cut off from concrete and masonry, maybe after you have escaped from this place for countless years, you will return here with a real hero when you are sure, and go to the underground space that only ghosts can enter, and maybe there is a truth that can reveal everything. ”

Kelly replied:

"Maybe I'll be able to check it out right now. ”

Erin shook her head and said:

"Didn't I say it, the underground space doesn't have any entrance, it's cut off by a meter of dirt......"

Kelly lifted her right leg.

When her right leg hit the ground, she was already a few meters away, as if Kelly was the Miss Ghost.

Erin looked at Kelly's eyes lit up:

"You are also a wizard, I beg you to have mercy and save Veronica, she does not deserve to be treated like this......"

Kelly helped the old man who wanted to kneel:

"I don't know if I'm a wizard or not, but I'll go check it out, and if I can, I'll take her out of this cage with me, I swear. ”

The old woman was so overjoyed that she burst into tears:

"Thank you, Miss Wizard, no, Lord Wizard. ”

Kelly hugged the old man and said ashamedly:

"I'm just doing what I can. ”

After calming the old man's emotions, Kelly asked for the detailed address of the underground space.

Erin watched as Kelly vanished into thin air after running a few weirdly angled curves.

The old woman watched with anticipation and worry in the direction in which the girl had disappeared, and kept praying for Kelly and Victoria.

But she didn't pray for herself, because there was no need, and she knew very well what would happen to the soul who trespassed into Gairanti's private space.
