Chapter 511: Basement
Although Ichi figured it out, Anna was still a little depressed. After all, it's still a bit hard to accept that the strategy fails.
When Anna returned to the manor, Yves and Dorin, both waiting at the door, and seeing their solemn expressions, Anna couldn't help but chuckle in her heart.
"Brother Yves, Brother Dorin......"
Anna exclaimed with some difficulty, and her heart couldn't help but feel a little weak.
Seeing Anna's anxious appearance, Yves couldn't help but soften her expression.
"Anna, don't be so naughty in the future. ”
"yes, what if you run around like this and get eaten by wolves!" said Dorin sarcastically.
Ignoring Dorin's sarcasm, Anna nodded to Yves and said obediently:
"I know Brother Yves!" Anna was quite moved, but fortunately Yves was still normal.
"I heard you met a wolf in the woods?" Yves asked worriedly as he walked into the house with Anna inside.
Anna nodded and said, "I rode Angelia to the river, and when I ran to the waterfall, the wolf chased after me......," Anna said, shuddering a little with fear, and couldn't help but grab Yves's clothes, and said: "Brother Yve, why are there wolves in the woods, it's terrible!" Anna asked knowingly, the appearance of the wolf must have something to do with Dorin, but she pretended not to know, Dolin would definitely not tell Yves about him scaring her with a wolf, so there was no problem with her asking this question at all.
Dorin glared viciously at Anna from a position that Yves couldn't see, and Anna ignored him.
"Anna is not afraid, I will have someone go and clean up the woods, don't go to the woods recently, you know?" Yves was a little worried, but he didn't forget to reassure Anna.
"Well, got it. Anna nodded again.
After having her personal doctor examine Anna, Yves let her go after seeing that Anna was not too seriously injured. Anna's dinner was served in her room, and Claude, who was in charge of her care, was expressionless the whole time.
Anna had long been accustomed to his expressionless face, but seeing that he was so cold about her being chased by wolves, she couldn't help but feel even more unhappy.
She was angry and didn't talk to Claude, but Claude didn't seem to be aware of it, and continued to do his job without being affected in the slightest, and Anna couldn't help but be even more depressed.
"Today, you are not allowed to sleep in my room. Anna said unusually coldly as she slept into her bed. She struggled to contain her anger, so that there was no ebb and flow in her tone.
"Yes, Miss Anna. Claude agreed cheerfully, and didn't seem to feel anything wrong.
Anna was even angrier.
Claude went out as she wished, but Anna was not at all happy, she could not sleep after tossing and turning, and even felt a little tightness in her chest and shortness of breath.
"Claude!"
After being angry in bed for a long time, Anna finally opened her mouth to call Claude, however, she did not get a response from Claude.
Anna: "......"
Could it be that Claude is already asleep?
Anna was angry, he was good, he fell asleep so quickly, she couldn't sleep in bed alone, it was just too much!
Anna flipped out of the bed in a fit of rage, jumped out of it, and opened the door to the entrance.
However, when she opened the door, she didn't see Claude, who was supposed to be sleeping in the hallway......
Claude is not here!
Anna couldn't help but panic, where would Claude go?
Anna slapped her head suddenly, how could she have forgotten that Dorin had been trying to trouble Claude, and that there was such an incident today, and she shouldn't have let Claude leave her room. Anna thought, growing more and more annoyed. In a hurry, she ran out in her pajamas.
She was still familiar with the structure of the manor, and had suspected that there was a secret passage to the outside world, and she had wandered around idlely, and she knew that there was a prison in the basement of the manor that had not been completely deserted, and she had only peeked into the basement before being captured by Claude, but at a glance she saw what was there. In one cell, a man dressed in squire clothes was hung from a wire and covered in blood...... If the squire who made a mistake was to be punished, it could only be in that basement.
Anna hadn't dared to go near it since that basement expedition. The thought of the present being over made her shudder. She hurried back to her room and put a cloak on herself, and then trembled and walked to the basement with a hand-lamp.
At night, the manor was very quiet, and Anna was the only one walking in the corridor, and the shadow behind her was stretched by the light, like the shadow of a demon dragging it. Anna didn't dare to look back at all, but she couldn't help but tremble as she moved forward.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's just a basement, and there are no ghosts in it, what are you afraid of, don't be afraid!"
Anna silently cheered herself up in her heart, and finally reached the entrance of the basement.
However, the basement was quiet, and Anna didn't hear anything coming from underneath.
Anna couldn't help but hesitate a little, could she guess wrong, Claude was not taken away by Dorin and punished, but found a place to drink by himself?
It didn't seem impossible, but Claude was so devoted and so rigid that it seemed unlikely that it would happen to him.
After a moment's hesitation, Anna opened the door to the basement.
The door was unlocked, and Anna easily pushed it open. When the door opened, a stone staircase swirled downward, and dim lights lit on both sides of the staircase, illuminating the staircase even deeper.
Anna had already been here once, and knowing that there would be no danger on the stone staircase, she went straight down.
And the closer you get to the underground prison, the brighter the lights become.
Anna's steps were light, for fear of being heard by the people below, if there really was someone below.
When she reached the bottom of the stone staircase, Anna was hiding behind the wall and peeking in, but she didn't see anyone there.
This cell was a little different from the first time she saw it, it seemed to have been cleaned up, and the squire who had been hung last time seemed to have long since left.
Just as Anna was about to leave, she suddenly heard a cough.
Anna is in the air, it seems that there are still people down there!
Anna was a little scared, just the sound of coughing, she couldn't tell if it was Claude or not, but she didn't rule out this possibility, Anna hesitated a little, but decided to go inside to see.
Anna took a deep breath and choked on the turbidity of her prison, and she tried to hold back her cough, but she almost held back tears.
