The distorted and morbid expression of the "Nine-Fingered" thief was like a demon from hell who had come to collect debts, and even the companions and gangster leaders next to him felt frightened, and their hearts couldn't help but shudder.

"Okay, okay!You're, you've had enough~!Have you finished stomping, go get down to business~ Take someone to find out where the other nosy chick lives!" Gregory was a little frightened for a while, but his boss didn't give it for nothing, so he pretended to give himself courage loudly and scolded his subordinates.

The nine-fingered thug glanced around at the other veteran people around him, and saw that the other accomplices were all flashing their eyes unnaturally, and when they saw that they didn't dare to look at him directly, he breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction: Lao Tzu is deliberately trying to stand up. Otherwise, if you lose a finger, you will suffer a loss, and if you are looked down upon behind your back in the future, then how can you get mixed up on the road!?

......

In the vault beneath Archduke Edmund Dundees' Castle.

The place of the covenant with Timoses had been set, and the time was imminent.

The Duchess and Duchess also put on a final show for the decisive battle between Shadow and Timothy.

"In a few days~ you will be victorious!" Archduke Edmund Dundees poured his wine and raised his glass to the shadow.

The shadow hurriedly lowered the mouth of the glass and respectfully touched the silver wine lord with the other party.

"Do you remember the way home when you left home when you were young?" asked Archduke Edmund Dundees casually as he poured his wine.

"I've heard that ~ puppies that were taken away just after birth can find a place of birth just by smell. The shadow hesitated carefully, looked at the ground and said, "I used to think about finding someone back home all the time...... And it is sure to be found. ”

The two men kept drinking and chatting cup after cup.

"Actually......" The Duke held his glass, shook the green wine, and inexplicably said something incomprehensible to others: "I am also waiting to return to a place that should belong to me." ”

"Isn't this castle the Duke's home?" the shadow asked curiously, as he was a little confused for a while.

"People don't end up the same......" The Duke didn't explain in depth, but just said vaguely and perfunctoryly.

Drinking is over.

The shadow was about to leave, stopped at the last moment by the duke.

When the shadow looked back, he saw the other party waving his sleeve robe and pointing ahead and saying firmly: "Victory!"

The young shadow was silent, just bowed again before leaving.

......

Night.

The shadow duke and duchess, whose real name is "Dust", returned to the room as usual to dress up as husband and wife.

The slaves and maids who made the beds and folded the quilts and prepared the bedding utensils all bowed respectfully and retreated.

In this time when no one is around.

Suddenly, the shadow confided in a self-deprecating voice: "I know! I can't win tomorrow." ”

"Actually~ when you grow up, you have many opportunities to refuse, or you can run away!Why? You have always been so obedient, willing to do these things?" Madame's expression was full of sympathy, doubt, and a trace of compassion and weak struggle.

"Because of you!" Shadow's words made Madame's heart tremble, and she turned her head suddenly, her eyes widened, and she looked at him and continued: "When I was a child, it was because they forced me! When I grew up, when I met you, I had a thought! As long as you want to do something, I am willing to do it for you." ”

The moment he said this.

Indeed, the shadow thought to himself, "Oh." What the hell can I do if I escape! This is not the one I am familiar with, a world where I can climb up with the help of a stable system and unspoken rules by relying on being sleek and sophisticated, good at interpersonal communication, and knowing how to exchange interests! This is a feudal society from which I was born by blood. Scold. How can a rich lady like you understand. Lao Tzu used to be an official who worked hard to climb up at the bottom, how could he really be willing to 'escape from the Duke's Mansion in embarrassment', and then start from a poor ordinary people. In the past, I was just a dispensable pawn. But after the Duke was wounded, I knew the opportunity I had been waiting for. I said to myself, don't forget the hardships I have endured and the face I have lost over the years, and I must seize this opportunity to get ahead! I will definitely do whatever it takes and do my best to seize it......

The two looked at each other for a long time.

"Tomorrow's War, I'm just a decoy. Facing Lady Shellise's pure eyes, the shadow had a hint of unnaturalness in her heart, and then she turned her gaze away from the opportunity to speak: "No one cares whether a shadow lives or dies. ”

"I care!" Lady Shellis, who had unconsciously fallen into the whirlpool of feelings, suddenly couldn't help blurting out.

This made the struggling shadow happy in her heart, and looked back at her eyes that shone with some kind of light.

Shellis looked at by the wolf-like aggressive eyes, as if she was naked, and her head was bowed with a flickering weak look.

"Tonight...... It's your last night here!" said the Marquise, with a sad and embarrassed expression.

"It's... Ah......h

Looking at Shellis's sincere expression, this time-traveler seems to see what has been lost in modern society - his long-lost humanity.

For a moment.

He felt a little guilty for using this pure feeling.

I doubted whether I should take advantage of the situation, and I didn't make a more intimate move for a long time.

After a brief hesitation.

The time and courage have passed.

The shadow turned his head and felt the movement in the dark passage behind the wall, with his keen perception of a 10th-order martial artist, he could naturally feel that there was no usual peeping gaze there for the time being, but after a lot of thought in his heart, he still got out of bed and bowed to his wife and said, "Madam...... Thanks a lot. Then he walked out of the duchess's bedroom.

But.

Although the Duchess lay down calmly on the surface, she thought that because of her husband's plan and the imminent death of the shadow tomorrow, she tossed and turned under the silky and silky bedding, and her heart was uneasy.

But some complicated emotions boiled in her heart, and she couldn't hold back her inexplicable impulses, only wearing a gauzy translucent pearl-colored silk pajamas, and walking through the screen of the outer bedroom with her slender feet as smooth as pink jade.

On the wall of the hall is a portrait of the Duke about six feet above the ground, with two holes peeking out of the eyes.

A pair of amber pupils appeared behind the peephole like a silent ghost, secretly monitoring everything in the room.

The lady came to the side hall where the shadow was on the floor, but instead of seeing the shadow sleeping on the floor, she was curled up by the wall not far away, and looked miserable and lonely around the air death lamp that reflected a faint light on the ground.

Shellise felt an urge that resembled motherly love, and immediately slowly crouched down, reaching out and gently stroking his jet-black bun.
