When Eve woke up, she smelled a scent of roses, light and sweet.

She sat up, the pale pink gauze around her and the expensive pearls that adorned it, making her sleepy eyes even more confused.

Where is this? Eve rubbed her eyes.

The door was quickly pushed open by Joanna from the outside, and as soon as she heard the report of the puppet guarding the door, she couldn't wait to come from the kitchen, "Are you awake?" Eve followed the source of the sound towards the door, and with a gentle wave of her hand, the balm accumulated in the silver basin quickly ignited a pale blue flame, illuminating the dim room.

When Jona lifted the veil, she saw Eve's misty eyes, slightly lowered, charming blue, more beautiful than the lake in Lanka, gently absorbing you and sinking into it, "What beautiful eyes." ”

Jona reached out and stroked back and forth around Eve's eye sockets, stroking and sighing, "I must make a doll in your likeness, with such beautiful eyes and hair." …… If I succeed, I will definitely become the best puppeteer in the Luoan Continent, because I can't find a second puppet that is so perfect. ”

Eve gets goosebumps all over her body from Jona's cold fingers...... A creepy feeling flooded over. It's as if the black magic was a little creature trembling under his scalpel waiting for the experiment.

She'd heard of puppeteers in the past, a not-so-popular branch of the Dark Mage. Puppeteers are particularly fond of women, especially unmarried girls between the ages of 13 and 18. They would take the girl and use the most brutal magic to strip off the girl's various organs, and then cast a spell to make a doll that looked exactly like the girl. The puppets can talk, run, jump, and even use black magic, similar to living people. The only difference is that their limbs and even their consciousness are manipulated by the puppeteer, and they are absolutely obedient to them. And most of the girls who are made into dolls have to become tools for the black magician to vent ** after experiencing extreme pain, and the end is miserable.

Eve looked at Jona's fingers in fear, and maybe she would soon □□ her own eyes, gouge out her blue eyes, and peel off her own skin little by little.

"Honey, what terrible thing are you thinking?" Jona noticed that Eve's expression was wrong, and her body was trembling, like a dead leaf in the early autumn breeze. She immediately explained, "You're thinking too much, I'm not that kind of puppeteer. They're just a bunch of bad old men who are immersed in black magic and can't extricate themselves, and even sell their souls. I'm a master puppeteer, and I can make a puppet out of leaves, trunks, and flowers, and then give them consciousness. So don't be afraid, I'm not going to gouge out your eyes and peel off your skin. ”

Eve was still a little worried, she didn't feel safe, so she looked around, trying to find Alan's figure.

"What are you looking for?" Jona followed the roll of Eve's eyes, and it was empty. She suddenly realized something, and a wicked smile hung on the corner of her mouth, "Are you looking for Alan?" ”

Eve, who had been poked in her thoughts, looked at Jona, nodded hesitantly after thinking. Jona's heart beat faster, and she was watched by these eyes......

Allen, that old zombie, actually has such a good good fortune.

"Miss Jona." A beautiful little girl pushed open the door, she had curly brown hair, black eyes, and was about 7 years old. The little girl, dressed in a pink maid outfit, walked up to Jona cheerfully, "Mr. Fern has prepared dinner, Mr. Allen is already seated, and they asked Emily to call you down for dinner." ”

"Already?" Jona happily stroked Emily's hair and said happily, "Thank you, Emily, go and tell Sù Fern that Eve and I will go down at once." ”

"Yes, Miss Jona." Emily apparently enjoyed Jona's touch, rubbed her palm twice, and ran out the door happily. The pink skirt swirls slightly, drawing a beautiful wavy line.

After hearing Alan's name, Eve's wariness of Jona was lowered slightly. Jona stood up and picked out a pale yellow dress from the closet behind her, with intricately patterned lace at the neckline and wrists.

"Alan is really not a considerate partner." Jona held the skirt as she gestured to Eve, who stood up, "How can he let you wear such a dirty little dress, with the collar and cuffs all stained with plaster, and the hem of the skirt crumpled, it's so bad." ”

"After all, he and Fern don't have women's clothing." Suddenly receiving Jona's great enthusiasm made Eve, who has been repeatedly indifferent to Alan these days, a little flattered.

"That's right." After Jona's strokes, she felt that the dress was very suitable, so she handed the dress to Eve, "You try it first, I'll wait for you outside." With that, Jona took the door and went out.

Eve took a deep breath and kept persuading herself that if she came, she would be safe. So she slowly took off the pink dress on her body, changed into the clean long dress that Jona gave her, and then tidied up the collar, cuffs and skirt, and opened the door to go out.

When Jona saw Eve open the door, it was as if she had found a new doll model, and she said to Eve with great joy, "Eve, I have several dresses there, all suitable for you." Later, let's try again? ”

"Isn't this too much trouble?" Eve was quite uncomfortable with Jona's acquaintance.

Qiao Na only thought about the prototype of her new doll, and shook her head again and again, "It's not troublesome at all, the clothes of a girl's house are as important as the face." Each one has to be suitable for oneself, so that it does not waste both face and clothes. ”

Eve nodded, and Jona was clearly pleased that she had broken through the bottleneck of doll design so easily.

They walked through the long, velvet blanket hallway. Window-like frames were dug into the walls on either side, and silver bowls were placed on them, and white grease burned in them.

Noticing Eve's curious gaze, Jona explained, "It's a kind of whale's cream, a few shallow layers in a bowl, it can burn for a full year, not only does it not smell strange, but it also has a light and sweet aroma, which is much more convenient than a candle." ”

"So, are you...... The owner of Shandarburg? Eve asked.

"Well, yes." Jona said, "This castle was destroyed after the battle between the Blood Clan and the Holy See, and it is full of resentful spirits. Not many people will live in it, and it is almost abandoned. After the Battle of Nadis, my ancestors bought the castle from the Holy See for very little money, and passed it down from generation to generation. When my father inherited Shandelburg, he gave it to me as a birthday present. ”

Eve is a little hard to imagine, completely different from the lifeless on Alan's body, Jona is so lively, why is she also a black magician? Moreover, from the point of view of inheriting Shandelberg, Jona should be a young lady of a noble family.

"Speaking of which, how did you and Ellen meet?" Jona didn't know what Eve was thinking, but she was curious about the love life of this sexual, cold, and indifferent relative. After all, in the past, she once thought that Eren would die alone in the castle with Desi and Crick.

"Hmm......" Eve thought of Alan, a little embarrassed, "he, he saved me in the first place." ”

Tsk tsk.

Jona opened her eyes, full of gossip, "So, is the hero saving the beauty?" ”

Being poked at the beginning of the careful thought, Eve's cheeks flushed slightly, and Jona still chased after her, "So, do you want to make a personal promise to Alan?" ”

Eve was stunned by her blunt question, they Otto...... Is it all so straightforward?

Look at Eve's hesitant and embarrassed appearance. Jona suddenly understood a little, and began to spontaneously fall in love with Eve's beauty at first sight, so she saved people with unprecedented kindness, and Eve was unwilling to marry him for this, so he forcibly took her back to Otto to get married!

No wonder Allen, who has always been known for not saving people when he sees death, can save people, and he is still a woman.

Jona suddenly realized that she felt that she should help a group of relatives who had beaten bachelors for many years, so she took Eve's hand, and looked like Alan's mother, "Don't look at Alan's cold face, he is so old that he has never even been in love once." At his age, children learn to shoot archery and ride horses, and he talks to women only a handful of times a year. So Alan doesn't know how to be considerate, and he doesn't understand the amorous feelings, but since he likes you, he will slowly change for you. ”

In response to Eve's incredulous gaze, Jona continued, "There is a great dark wizard in history, Marcy Kirton, who once said that love makes people crazy and sinking, death can be resurrected, life is like death, unpredictable. ”

Although she didn't know who Marcy Cotton was, Jona's words were like throwing a basket of rocks on calm water.

Eve lowered her head and thought carefully about how she got along with Alan, but felt that no matter how she looked, Eren didn't look like she liked her.

They walked down the hallway to the spiral escalator, where Alan and Fern were sitting at the table, looking at Alan's cold side face, looking impatiently at the plate, but still couldn't help but throb slightly.
