Chapter 224: The Age of Discovery (47)
When Ye Qing was still struggling with how to speak to Anne, someone knocked on the door: "Miss Iris, please follow me to the garden, Duke Morales is waiting for you." ”
She glanced at Juan, who immediately stood up: "I'll go with you." ”
"Are you sure?" Ye raised his eyebrows lightly.
Juan apparently hesitated, but he walked over to her anyway.
The maid outside the door didn't say anything when she saw Juan with her, and then the maid took the two to the garden.
The garden is between the small building at the back and the main fort in the middle, and walking in the green wall nearly two meters high is like walking into a labyrinth, with clusters of flowers at every turn.
Ye Qing's gaze fell on one of the clusters of wind purple letters, which she had seen on the windowsill of Princess Anne's room in the main castle last night.
Who cleans her room often?
Who sends her flowers every day?
A person who has been dead for more than 50 years, who still misses her?
Ye Qing continued to walk, Juan followed behind her, and took two steps or so to glance around.
The two were brought into the stone pavilion, surrounded by bright flowers, and there was no Duke Morales in the stone pavilion, only a woman in her twenties, and in front of her was kneeling a young girl, who buried her face on the ground, and her whole body was trembling.
Farona looked at the girl at her feet: "Hurry up, if you are like this, others will think that I bullied you." ”
"Fangsi said the wrong thing, please forgive Madame." The girl's body trembled even more.
Farona didn't answer the girl's words, she looked up at the people who had walked into the stone pavilion.
Farona's gaze fell on Ye Qing, who was also looking at her.
The woman in front of Ye Qing's eyes was the daughter of the Luna family, who married the seventy-one-year-old Duke Morales at the age of sixteen and gave birth to a son Seth the following year.
I don't know if it's a genetic problem with the Morales family, there are always not many heirs, Princess Anne's father only has two children, she and Robert, and Robert only has one son, Osram, and the current Duke of Morales, Osram, he has three children, the eldest daughter Rolley, the youngest son Seth, and Nico is his illegitimate son.
Osram's original wife gave birth to Rolley, who died a few years ago and only married the daughter of the Luna family after his death.
When Farona was delicate, she had a maturity, stability and meticulousness that did not belong to her age.
The maid pointed at Ye Qing and said, "Madam, she is Iris sent by Lord Alpha last night. ”
"A rare face indeed, where are you from?"
"Huaxia."
"What?"
The maid reprimanded Ye Qing: "You can't talk to Madame so casually!" ”
"It's okay." Farona shook her head at the maid, got up, and walked around Ye Qing as if looking at a commodity for sale, she continued: "Lord Alpha is very caring, and he can always send the Duke people and things he likes, especially beautiful women, which really saves me a lot of heart. ”
"Flence, Iris, come with me, and I'll take you to meet Seth."
Ye Qing didn't know which direction the plot was developing, but the girl kneeling on the ground was like being struck by lightning, and she trembled suddenly.
The girl stumbled and said, "Madam, I am not qualified to see Lord Seth. ”
"He's just a kid, where are the adults?" Farona smiled, she looked at Juan beside Ye Qing: "This is also your partner?" Come along. ”
Fancy couldn't stand up, so two maids set her up and followed them out of the garden.
Farona took several of them to the basement of the main castle, the stone stairs went down layer after layer, Fang Si couldn't help but start sobbing, Ye Qing didn't know what was waiting for them in front of her, but judging from the girl's reaction, it was definitely not a good thing.
Before they reached the bottom, a heart-rending scream reached the ears of several people.
The girl was already frightened, Juan was sweating profusely, Ye Qing glanced back at him, and found that he had shaken into a little prince of the square breakdance.
The closer he got to the bottom, the calmer Ye Qing became.
She felt something unusual.
There were a dozen people in the basement, all standing by the wall, their eyes falling on the iron cage.
There was a large space under their feet, half of the sea, half of the platform was a cut above the oceanarium, similar to the facilities in the ashore, and a large iron fence was laid above the space, and three soldiers pulled the iron chain together to pull the iron fence up, and someone threw a goat that had just been killed but was not dead.
With a "bang", the iron fence was lowered heavily.
The goat tried to stand up, but the more it struggled, the more blood came out of its neck.
For a moment, the entire basement smelled of blood.
"Bobby—" the boy shouted softly.
"Your breakfast is ready, Bobby, come out!"
"Poppy—"
Before the boy could shout a third time, a black shadow suddenly rushed out of the water, and before everyone could blink, the black shadow had swept away the goat!
"Bobby was in a bad mood today, I didn't even get to see it." The boy looked at the person next to him: "Go and prepare something else, Bobby will get tired of eating these every day!" ”
Farona took the last step down the stairs and walked over to the boy: "Seth." ”
"Oh, Mother!" Seth kissed the back of Farona's hand, "You're also coming to see Bobby?" ”
"I brought a gift to Poppy."
"What gift?" Seth's eyes were full of novelty.
"Look."
Farona turned sideways, revealing Ye Qing and Juan behind her, and the maid threw the girl to the ground, the girl was still unconscious, but her hands were clenched into fists.
"Three people? Oh, you're so smart! Mother, Poppy will be very happy! Seth clapped his hands for joy, and he commanded, "Go find three more men, two men and one woman." There are six people in total, one man and one woman at a time, let them draw lots to decide the order of entry, and Bobby can play all morning! Oh, it's fun to think about! ”
After Seth finished speaking, Ye Qing saw that the girl on the ground was pale, and she had already let go of her hands, and then looked at Juan, Ye Qing moved her face again.
She smelled a smell of urine......
Half an hour later, there were two more men and a woman in the basement.
The unconscious girl was woken up, she couldn't stand up, the soldiers had to tie her to the iron bar, Juan was so frightened that her pants were wet, Seth stared at his crotch for a while, laughed, Ye Qing also lowered her head, her shoulders trembled.
The other three were so frightened that they couldn't say a word.
"You work in pairs, you with him." Seth pointed to the maiden and Juan.
"Come, the one who draws the red rope goes first, and the one who draws the black rope goes in last."
The girl fainted again, and Juan pulled his hand several times before pulling out a rope, and when he looked down, he began to gasp for breath - he had a red rope in his hand.
"Ye ......" Juan turned his head to look at Ye Qing.
"What did you say?" Seth called out to Juan, "Shorty, don't you want to play with Bobbi?" ”
"I, I, I......" Juan couldn't even shake his head.
His legs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Throw them both in!"
