"I didn't expect to be locked up in this house for seven years before the mission actually started." Yechen sat on the rattan chair on the balcony on the second floor, looking at the gorgeous sunset, and muttered softly.

After weighing the pros and cons, Yechen finally chose to accept the "optional" mission assigned to her by this seventh space. After entering the mission world through the Lightforge Gate, she arrived at a manor house in Cheshire, northwest England, England, and was not able to get out.

Phyllis Kate, who is Yechen in this mission, belongs to a Chinese wizarding family in the United Kingdom that has been inherited for hundreds of years. The Kate family migrated to Britain hundreds of years ago. It stands to reason that Chinese Americans tend to attach great importance to history, and the ancestral house contains notes written by family members of previous generations, which record in detail many historical events that they have experienced or heard, which are authentic and credible. But how did the Kate family come to England, and why did they make a family migration, and why did they move across the oceans...... This information that is important to the family is not recorded.

For whatever reason, the Kate family came to England. As ethnic Chinese, they have been ostracized and repressed. Eventually, the Kate family chose to settle in remote Cheshire, away from the wizarding quarters, away from the hustle and bustle, and away from the hustle and bustle, where they ran a farm and fisher, living a quiet and peaceful life.

In 1689, when the International Secrecy Act came into effect, wizards from all over the world went into secrecy, and wizards were separated from ordinary people. However, the influence between the two, especially the influence of ordinary people on the wizarding world, cannot be eliminated at all, especially in terms of thought, the influence is even more subtle but far-reaching and extensive.

Therefore, after World War II, various currents of thought surged, and the wizarding world was also greatly affected. Although from the perspective of modern civilization, the wizarding world still retains too many old "feudal" ideas, but it is much better than before. For the Kate family, the biggest impact was that they strengthened their ties with the English wizards, no longer on the periphery, but into them.

This change has brought no small benefits to the family's development, but it has more disadvantages, at least for Phyllis - her parents are involved in the riots that the Dark Lord has set off. As a minority, the Kate family undoubtedly joined Dumbledore's loving and inclusive Order of the Phoenix.

In that chaotic and dangerous era, in order to protect their only daughter, they used the power of the bloodline to set a protective spell: no creature with a soul could enter the ancestral home of the Kate family, which is where Yechen is now located, Kate Manor; At the same time, their daughter Phyllis is also restricted by this powerful spell and cannot get out.

The only exception is the house-elf Amy, who they leave to their daughter, a house-elf who will never betray her master, who takes care of the little master's daily life.

There was a knock on the door, and Amy's slightly sharp soft voice came from outside the door: "Master, can I come in?" ”

Phyllis (later referred to by Yechen's name in this quest, "Phyllis") took her back gaze and said, "Come in." ”

A female house-elf, only half a meter tall, with large bead-like bulging eyes and large ears, walked in with a tray of brewed black tea.

The average house-elf can only wear tattered pillowcases, and for their group, being given clothes by their owners means being abandoned, and the abandoned house-elves have lost the meaning of survival.

But Phyllis really can't get used to the house-elf who takes care of her own life, so she wears a tattered and dirty pillowcase, which is really ...... It's so unseemly.

Confined to the house, Phyllis, who has nothing to do, begins to try to transform Amy. At first, let her get used to wearing socks, and make sure that the white socks are clean and tidy, and change and clean them every day. Then, on the grounds that it is "uncomfortable to look at", ask Amy to change the pillowcase she has been wearing to make it a little more "designed". First the waist is cinches, then the waist is cinched to widen the hem...... Changing it, I changed a pillowcase into a dress.

Amy expressed her uneasiness about this, because the "pillowcase" was no different from the dress, but Phyllis said in a firm tone that she should not think too much about it, this was a "pillowcase", and asked her to make a few more "pillowcases".

House-elves can't disobey their master's orders in the first place, no matter how ridiculous, stupid, or even ...... No matter how dangerous it is, they will strictly abide by it. Phyllis tested Amy's bottom line again and again, and then carefully broke it, which was not a problem for her. It only took two years for Phyllis to get Amy used to wearing clean, dress-like "pillowcases" and white cotton socks, and to keep them neat and tidy at all times.

It does look a lot more comfortable.

Amy walked into the balcony with a tray, put the black tea on the small round table made of peach wood, and asked, "Master, what do you want to eat tonight?" ”

"It's my eighteenth birthday in three days, isn't it?" Yechen picked up the black tea and asked.

Amy was slightly stunned and replied truthfully, "Yes." ”

"I remember saying it in the documents my parents left behind." Phyllis tried to keep her tone as calm as she could, "After my eighteenth birthday, I'll be able to get out of here?" ”

"Yes." Amy hesitated, but said, "No matter where I am, my task is to take care of my master's life. ”

Phyllis smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a person without measure, you know." ”

Yes, Amy certainly knew, that Phyllis had been locked up in this manor for seven years. For seven years, Phyllis did not show a trace of irritability and impatience, everything was normal, eerily normal.

For this reason, Amy often feels terrified. To tell the truth, she would rather the little master smash some furniture and vent her boredom that has been locked up for several years, and she even prepared a cheap bone china tea set, but ...... Years have passed, and not even a single piece of the bone china tea set has been broken.

Amy doesn't know what the little master's psychological state is, but it's definitely not normal - it can't be normal, normal people have been locked up for so long, and it doesn't take a little psychological condition to call it abnormal.

Seeing that Phyllis's eighteenth birthday is approaching, after coming into contact with the spell bondage, Amy is very worried that her mind that has been restrained for seven years will completely fly and do something irrational.

Amy didn't want to stop Phyllis, on the contrary, she very much wanted the little master to indulge, she just wanted to be by her master's side, so that she would not be harmed by any danger, not by others, and not by herself.
