Chapter 24: The Ringing Spirit of the Black Marsh (4)

Ashley's mouth grew and she trembled and stepped back. The same is true of Butos.

Blood dripped down the scissors little by little, like this "poignant" encounter.

At this time, Ashley didn't even have the strength to cover her eyes with her hands.

Butos trembled backwards, he knew very well that it was an accident, and that even if the sharp scissors came from the hand of the beautiful Ashley, he believed that she had no ill intentions, and that it was all his own bad luck.

Butos fell on his back, and the moment he fell, the moment it came into contact with the hard ground, the scissors were thrust a little deeper. The pain resounded through Butos's soul, and he could only dimly hear the sound of Siel with a group of servants, and Ashley's trembling cry......

Sleeping in the darkness and waking up in the darkness, Butos has gone through it many times.

Only this time, he almost didn't see the fresh sunlight again.

"That's what you did! Ashley!" the Duke of Ciel rebuked Ashley harshly, "If this spreads, you, my fourth daughter, will pay the price for your youth and impulsiveness!

Ashley covered her face and sobbed, "I'm sorry...... Father...... I don't care what the price, I just want to know ......"

Ashley's lips twitched, "Will he survive...... I don't want to carry other people's deaths......"

Siel's face was like an iron-blue anvil: "What do you think I'm talking about? The Duke's daughter willfully disobeys her father's will?or a twenty-year-old girl running through the streets with scissors?"

Ashley's clear eyes were hazy with tears once again.

"You've hurt his heart, and his breathing is failing," Siel clenched his fists, "but it's nothing to a duke. If you want to clear your name, Ashley. Then quickly take off this blood-stained dress and change into a prom dress. No one cares about this unfortunate death!"

"It's not a pity to die, no one cares?" Ashley was a little suspicious of what her father, who was both familiar and unfamiliar in front of her, had just said, "He is a young man, the same age as me, and the same respectable life......"

"It's your life, Duke's daughter, not this poor boy!"

"Father!"

"That's enough!" Siel had already given Ashley enough to heart, "You're too young, Ashley. Do you think it's just your own business? If you continue to be willful, the whole family will be affected by you!"

Siel turned around angrily and walked away with his back to Ashley.

Ashley's delicate and graceful face was filled with tears at the moment. In Noda's apartment, Ashley slowly shed her blood-stained clothes......

The exquisite gown is embellished with all kinds of luxurious materials, and the clear soul is also entangled in all kinds of vanity and ethereal......

"That reckless girl!" the existence of the Ringwraith is closely related to Butos's life. Even though it is hidden in the Black Ring, it can still feel the passage of its host's life and its own demise......

The Ringwraith cursed Ashley viciously. But what's the point of swearing?

The Ringwraith had to use his powers to heal Butoth's terrible injuries.

At this time, Butos was placed in a storage room in the Duke's house - in a very remote corner.

Black gas lingered around Butos, and little by little, it seeped into Butos's heart.

The blood stops, the heart becomes excited and active, and the pulse becomes stronger......

This seemingly rapid process took a long time, and by the time the Ringwraith had used all his strength and Butos woke up with exclamations, it was already late and Ashley's ball was about to begin.

"Ah...... I thought I was dead!" was sweat on Butos' forehead, and the fear of imminent death that he had experienced in his coma still occupied Butos's heart.

"This damn daredevil!" the wraith was tired, but it still had the strength to vent its frustration.

"Did you save me?

The Ringwraith replied viciously, "No one will take your life seriously!, except for me, and the stupid girl who almost killed you!"

A flash of pleasure flashed through Butos's heart: "What time is it?"

"It's the start of the prom, if you still want to seize the opportunity, and want to collect that stupid girl like a treasure, let's go!"

"Ahh

"Change your clothes!" reprimanded the wive, "unless you want to be kicked out!"

Butos was startled again, then smirked and rummaged through the storage closet.

Luckily, Butos found a garment worn by his servant, which should fit well, but unfortunately, the garment smelled of sweat and a sour smell lingered.

Butos was pleasantly surprised but a little helpless to change into this not very satisfactory dress, but in the process of changing clothes, Butos suddenly found that his "Tears of the Shark" was gone!

In the pocket of Butos's original clothes, only a scroll of maps, a small bag of coins, and a mysterious leaf remained.

The Ringwraith was already looking tired at this point, and it said slowly, "That greedy ghost of Siel took it......"

Butos's eyebrows suddenly twisted into a ridge: "That's what you left me! Old Butos, tell me, where did he take it?"

"I'll leave it to you? ah, yes...... yes," the Ringwraith almost came to his senses, "I think he must be trying to please someone with this rare thing, and if you go to the ball soon, maybe it's still too late." ”

Butos rolled up his sleeves and strode out of the storage room angrily: "I must get back what belongs to me!"

The Ringwraith was already a little overwhelmed, and it felt very tired from using this extremely expensive sorcery for two days in a row. The Ringwraith didn't think that Butos could reassure him at the ball, but he was so tired that he fell asleep before he could tell him......

In the ballroom, the Marquis de Pojosal and his proudest son had arrived.

The Marquis of Borrosal greeted the Duke of Siel warmly, and introduced Siel and Ashley to his son, Kdom, a slightly bloated but good-looking young man.

Ashley lowered her head, and the heavy thoughts seemed to be written on her beautiful face.

Siel, Bojosar, and others sat down in their seats in turn. The distinguished guests also took their seats.

In the center of the ballroom, the singers began to perform for a good deed.

"Hahaha, noble Duke Ciel, your fourth daughter is much more beautiful than she imagined!" said Borossal both flattering and telling the truth.

However, Siel did not tell the truth at all: "Your son is also better than all the boys, the Marquis de Borrosal." ”

The two of them laughed fakely.

Kdom's gaze was like fire. The undisguised look in her eyes made Ashley feel disgusted and blush.

"Hmm...... Miss Ashley doesn't seem to be in a good mood?" asked Kerdom with a smile.

Ashley nodded slightly, she didn't want to talk to Kdom, and not just because Kdom's size was bloated for her.

"I've heard my father mention your name many times......" Kdom tried to find the topic.

But once again, Ashley didn't answer.

Ashley was surprised to find that in a corner of the ballroom, there was a face she was slightly familiar with.

"Is that him? he's obviously badly injured......" Ashley's shock was needless to say. Because she thought that Butos would not live long......

Ashley still had some suspicions, but when Butos's eyes met her own blue eyes, they disappeared completely.

"It's him! it's him!" Ashley almost cried out in excitement.

Kedom watched Ashley's actions and wondered: could Ashley be so happy to see a servant, and why was she always bored when she saw her slave?

Ashley tried her best to restrain her inner joy and left her seat as gracefully as she could. After receiving her father's temporary approval, Ashley walked slowly towards the outside of the ballroom, and as she walked gracefully, she gave a look to Butos, who was not far away.

At this moment, Butos looked into Ashley's eyes, and there was no longer a trace of uneasiness and panic in his heart, perhaps at this time, the courage in the blood of the adventurer family Butos was released.

However...... After all, Butos had never tasted love, and even the blood of Butos could not make him blush in the slightest under Ashley's gaze.

Outside the ballroom door, Ashley walked towards Butos in surprise.

Butos, on the other hand, was worried that the smell of sweat on his clothes would be smelled by Ashley, so he stepped back little by little.

"Why are you avoiding me?" Ashley frowned slightly, with a very apologetic expression, but the corners of her mouth were still slightly raised: "I don't have scissors in my hand." ”

"I, I'm ......" Butos had to stop: "This dress stinks, but it's not mine, I found it in the locker, I couldn't find a better one." ”

Ashley laughed "poof": "How did you recover so quickly, I thought you ......"

"I'm much stronger than anyone thinks...... Butos doesn't know what he's talking about.

In front of this beautiful girl, Butos was as flustered as a frightened horse.

"What's your name?" Ashley's big eyes flickered.

"Butos, Hildori Butos. ”

"Well, Mr. Butos, I'm embarrassed, but I beg you to help me. Ashley begged. Although Ashley still had many questions about Butos at the moment, she still chose to care about the big things about her fate first.

Butos felt like his heart was about to melt at this point.

"Please, honorable Miss Ashley. ”

Ashley frowned, "My father is going to betroth me to the son of that marquis tonight." I really can't imagine what kind of life I'll be like if I marry that nerd...... So, I beg you, Butos, to help me figure it out......"

Butos was silent, he was trying to figure out a way.

Ashley also began to think with her head down......

Suddenly, Ashley seemed to have an idea, she gestured to Butos, and then leaned into Butos's ear: "I beg you to give me a kiss, Mr. Butos." ”
