Chapter 19: Hold her
"Hmm......" After a long wait, the ghost maid opened her eyes, looked at the ceiling that had been transformed pink by Nellia, and sat up suddenly.
"You're awake, you've been stunned by yourself for a long time." As the gentle female voice sounded, the ghost maid turned her head to look at Nelia, sitting in a chair holding a book with a charming smile on her face, beautiful and gentle became the ghost maid's first impression of Nelia.
The ghost maid, who suddenly remembered something, pulled open the quilt, and after seeing her ghost-like tail again, a haze appeared on her face again, and her unbalanced body was about to pass out again, and Nelia, who shot in time, covered the ghost maid's eyes.
"Calm down, relax, don't think about anything, listen to me."
Nelia sat down behind the ghost maid while comforting, so that the other party's back was against her, and then put her mouth to the ghost maid's ear and said, "Listen, it's all good, at least you are conscious now, this result is not bad." ”
Listening to Nelia's words, the ghost maid nodded slightly, and the trembling of her body eased.
"Very well, my name is Nellia, can you tell me your name?"
"Aveline......
"Aveline, try to accept who you are, I'll let go of your hand and let you continue to see your legs, and if you can't accept it, you close your eyes again."
After Nelia finished speaking, she slowly removed her hand covering Aveline, and when she opened her eyes, Aveline looked at her legs, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably again.
Nelia covered Aveline's eyes again, reaching out and pulling the quilt over the lower half of Aveline's body, and it was still unreliable for him to accept that he was dead and a ghost, and that Nelia needed guidance.
Thinking back to Bukot's comments when he drank before, Nelia already knew that spirits had a sense of taste, and the difference was between materialization and spiritualization, and reaching for her teacup on the table, the steaming black tea in it might be able to help.
"Come on, drink something, don't think about those things." Neria said as she let go of the hand covering Aveline's eyes, then passed the teacup to Aveline's mouth.
Seeing Aveline raise her hands and take the teacup to her lips, Nelia moved her ass and sat down next to Aveline, and asked softly, "Is it delicious?" ”
"Hmm......" Aveline replied.
"So what are you worried about right now? Have there been any changes in your body other than your legs? Need to be afraid of being like this? Nellia said, taking the teacup, placing it on the table, picking up the teapot and pouring tea back into the cup.
“……”
Aveline looked at the quilt in silence, still basking in the news that she was dead, remembering how she had been hiding in the tower, only remembering that she was getting more and more sleepy, until she woke up and had been huddled in a corner.
There was no movement outside the door before he mustered up the courage to go out, but in the end he was already dead, and he hid just to live......
"Alas...... Okay, okay, don't think so much, aren't you just living in a different way now? Look at it a little, just think that you have been exerted some kind of magic, you have no legs but you can fly, otherwise how have you spent these thousands of years. ”
After Nellia finished speaking, Aveline looked at Nellia with a look of disbelief, and the look of surprise in her eyes told her that she had no idea that thousands of years had passed.
"You don't know, do you?" Nelia asked.
"I ...... I just felt sleepy, and then I fell asleep, and when I woke up, it was you, Nelia. Aveline replied in horror.
"Then you have to be a little mentally prepared, because this country has completely perished, and it is buried deep in the ground, and you now see the sunlight outside the window is still the magic sun I made with magic." Nelia said earnestly.
"How so...... I'm going to go out and have a look. Aveline said, lifting the covers and drifting past Nelia towards the door of her room.
When she unscrewed the doorknob and opened the door, she saw a dilapidated stone-brick hallway, a dusty stone-brick floor, and a badly weathered candlestick.
With his hands on his chest, he took two steps backwards, staring at the scene outside the room in confusion, and then bumped into Nelia's.
Looking back at Nelia's stern expression, she knew that Nelia was not lying, and as a maid in the palace, she knew very well about the corridors of the palace, especially the decorations outside the door that could barely see the prototype, which made her even more aware that this was the decoration outside the king's bedroom.
"Come on, I'll take you out to have a look." Nelia held out her hand as she spoke, inviting Aveline to leave the room with her.
Putting his hand on Nelia's hand, the warm body temperature passed down Nelia's palm to Aveline, and a different sense of security reached Aveline's heart, and she glanced at Nelia's side face, and suddenly there was a hint of blush on her face.
"Then let's go." Nelia said, taking Aveline's hand and walking out of the room, the illumination orb in front of her illuminating the hallway ahead.
The two of them walked down the hallway towards the bottom of the castle, where the abandoned armor and weapons on both sides of the aisle were so badly corroded that most of the prototypes had been rendered dead over thousands of years, and only some parts could be identified as armor.
Walking to a large hall, Aveline stopped, looking back at the crumbling wooden door.
"What's wrong? Want to go inside and check it out? Nelia asked, looking back.
Aveline responded after a brief silence: "Hmm"
Nelia then turned around and pushed the broken door with one hand, the rusty metal shaft creaked, and the wooden door of the hall collapsed with a metal crack.
A loud noise echoed through the hall, and the rotting wood came into view, but this place was especially important to Aveline.
Looking at this abandoned hall, a trace of tears appeared in his eyes, and it was difficult to think of the scene of the maid's rest hall in the past, where everyone from the maid group drank tea and chatted, discussing how it looked, and that maid was proposed to by the soldiers of the castle.
A reflection in the hall caught Aveline's gaze, then let go of Nelia and floated over, and in the pile of torn fabric, Aveline saw metal objects that were still reflective in the light.
A gold collar emblem inlaid with rubies, picked up the collar crest from the worn clothes, and the red satin tie that had been attached to it had become rags and fell to the ground.
"The Maid Chief...... Everyone...... Are they all gone......" Holding the rest of the collar emblem with both hands, the tears in Aveline's eyes overflowed her eyes, and the faint sobbing sound made Nelia walk to Aveline's side with some heartache, reached out and put her hand on Aveline's shoulder and said, "Are you alright?" ”
Aveline turned her head to look at Nelia, her tearful face, and her expression of not crying made Nelia slightly stunned, and there was only one thought in her mind...... Hold her.
