"Mademoiselle," the valet knocked on Sophia's door, "Viscount Ernest's family has sent someone to visit you. ”

"I don't see. ”

The manservant sighed helplessly, Sophia had been like this for the past two days, refusing to see anyone at all, even not eating, and these servants had no choice but to let Sophia lock herself in the room.

He turned around and looked helplessly at the maid sent by Ernest. "I'm sorry, Miss is in a bad mood right now, I think you should come back in a few days. ”

Ramrem glanced at the manservant with his unemotional eyes, and the cold look sent chills down his spine, as if he had been blown by the biting cold wind of winter.

"Can you please let me go?" the cold tone barely looked like a question, as if he was just making a statement, "Got in the way." ”

The short sentence had an unusually oppressive force, and the manservant couldn't resist the indifferent momentum of Ramrem's body at all, and unconsciously took a few steps back.

With a slight movement, the round-toed shoes made a crisp sound on the floor, but the next moment, the small feet rose high, drove the skirt of the maid's outfit, and kicked it against the door. Under the frightened gaze of the man, the mahogany door was kicked open by the slender Ramrem, and it was the first time that the door was opened after Sophia locked herself in the room.

"It's rude. ”

There was no apology in the maid's weak voice, and she walked straight to the house.

"Wait, wait......" After being stunned for a moment, the manservant reacted and hurriedly tried to stop Ramrem.

"Huh?" Ramrem turned his head slightly, and just the corner of his eye scared the manservant forward, "Anything else?"

"That ......" the valet swallowed, unable to spit out at all.

"Please go outside and keep watch. ”

"Huh?" the manservant froze again, not understanding what Ramrem meant.

"Please go outside and keep watch. ”

"This ...... But I ......"

"Stay outside and keep watch. ”

Ramrem's increasingly cold gaze forced the manservant to retreat, and after some consideration, he still didn't think that his body would be stronger than the mahogany door, so he had to honestly follow Ramrem's instructions to retreat.

"A little farther away. ”

This time the valet learned to be obedient, and he immediately took a few steps back.

"A little farther away. ”

In the face of Ramrem's cold order, the manservant's head was almost big, and it was the first time he had seen such a maid with the temper of the eldest lady, and the worst thing was that the maid with the temper of the eldest lady could kick open the door.

It wasn't until the valet had withdrawn from the distance of about twenty meters that Ramrem was satisfied, and she went into the room and closed the door with her. Ramrem paused before the door closed, revealing a strand of her black hair through the crack in the door.

"Please don't eavesdrop. ”

With a bang, the door was slammed shut.

Ramrem's strange behavior made the manservant very concerned, and he was eager to hear what this unusual maid would say to the young lady. But in the end, he couldn't muster the courage, after all, he didn't want to test what Ramrem's kick would feel like on him.

Walking into Sophia's room, Ramrem's eyes were almost a mess, with a pillow in the doorway, and all kinds of furniture lying on the floor in the corner, as if it had been swept by a storm.

Even Victoria's room was better than this.

Ramrem thought silently to himself, and then slowly walked towards the bed with the silk tent hanging on it.

Sophia sat on the edge of the bed and stared coldly at Ramrem as she walked by. She had seen the knock on the door just now, but she wasn't as afraid of Ramrem as the valet, or rather, because of the pent-up depression in her heart, she was hardly afraid of anything now.

"It's expensive. Sophia's expression was completely different from her usual gentle appearance, her eyes staring at Ramrem with insomnia. "After all, it was lent to us by the royal family, and if it is broken, it will be difficult for my brother to explain it. ”

Sophia's face was almost hysterical, but her tone was unusually calm, and she couldn't hear the feeling of madness at all. But maybe that's the calm before the storm.

And Ramrem, who was standing in front of her, was equally calm and indifferent, although he said this, there were still some differences between the two people. Sophia's coldness is due to the fact that she is trying her best to suppress the anger that needs to gush in her heart, and Ramrem's indifference is due to nature, in other words, the more cold and calm Sophia appears in front of Ramrem, the more it highlights the storm in her heart.

"It was rude just now," Ramrem lifted the hem of his skirt and bowed slightly to Sophia, "but this is a helpless move, if I don't do this, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk in front of you like I am now." ”

"Hmph—" Sophia snorted, her eyes sharpened, "but why do I have to see you? Give me a reason, give me a reason not to kick you out now." ”

"I have come to fetch you at the behest of Mr. Ernest, your father. ”

"Go back!" Ramrem's words touched Sophia's tense nerves, and she no longer kept her composure, and suddenly shouted angrily, "Where are you going back? It's not me who left, it's him! Only where my brother is is my place of refuge, and he is no longer worthy of calling himself my brother and my father!"

Ramrem was not frightened by Sophia's sudden attack, she had expected it before she walked into the room.

"Then you don't want to see your mother and sister? ”

Hearing Ramrem mention her mother and sister, Sophia's face couldn't help but show a hint of hesitation and struggle, and it was clear that Lady Jane and Victoria still had a lot of weight in her heart. It's just that these weights can't be compared with Swain's status in Sophia's heart, and soon, she got rid of that momentary hesitation, and her eyes became firm again.

"If that's all you want to say, then you can go back now. Sophia pointed to the door and said, "I'm doing well here, so I don't have to worry about you." ”

"It wasn't like that before. As soon as Sophia's words fell, Ramrem suddenly spoke, "You have changed a lot during this time, and now you have inexplicably more hatred for Mr. Ernest than when you visited Madame before, and this hatred has been extended to Madame and Miss Victoria. Originally, I didn't want to ask more out of politeness, but I still can't do it if I don't understand the reason. ”

As she spoke, Ramrem shook her head, her indifferent eyes stared at Sophia so tightly that she was a little nervous in this state.

"I didn't see Mr. Swain when I came today, is there something happened to him that caused you to be like this?"

"What does this have to do with you!" the maid's pressing steps drove Sophia almost to the edge of the cliff, and she could no longer care about politeness, and shouted to Ramrem in the meanest and furious tone, "You are just a maid, but you talk to me like this, haven't you learned etiquette? Get me out, now!"

In the face of Sophia's roar, Ramrem did not waver, and she quickly stepped forward and grabbed Sophia's hand to get the vase on the bedside table.

"You'd better calm down," Ramrem gripped Sophia's wrist tightly, how could Sophia, who had always been delicate and quiet, be her opponent, "I can't have a good conversation with you like this, if you want me to let you go, please calm down and listen to what I say." ”

Held hostage by a ruthless maid like this, Sophia tried to resist several times to no avail, and finally had to give in.

Seeing that Sophia had finally settled down, Ramrem slowly let go of his hand, took a step back, and kept a distance of one meter from Sophia.

"I suppose that because Mr. Swain suddenly did not come back for a long time without giving any reason, and did not even leave any news for you, you must be very worried and anxious now, right?"

Hearing Ramrem mention this again, Sophia almost subconsciously wanted to speak, but when she saw Ramrem's slightly raised hand, she puffed out her mouth again and held back her words.

"I'm sure you trust Mr. Swing very much, and no, the adjective 'tenth' may not fully express your trust in Mr. Swing. However, because you are so dependent on Mr. Swain, you will fall into confusion and crankiness without him, and the more you trust, the greater the impact of this thought on you, because you are afraid, and once the maximum trust is betrayed, the maximum amount of pain will be withdrawn, and that feeling of darkness and pain is enough to make life worse than death. ”

Sophia's gaze at Ramrem gradually changed from hostility to surprise, and then she had doubts, she didn't understand why Ramrem knew so much about the matter between her and her brother, obviously she was just a maid of Viscount Ernest's family, and she had only met once, why did this person feel so strange to herself, as if she knew herself better than the people around her.

Ramrem kept an eye on Sophia's expression, and seeing the last of the confusion on Sophia's face, Ramrem knew that she had succeeded in calming down the girl who was on the verge of falling into madness.

"Do you want to know Mr. Swain's current situation?" she said abruptly, and said a question that made Sophia's heart tremble.

"Do you know where the elder brother is now?" Sophia immediately asked, although Baron Deniz said that Swain was out before, but since the old baron did not return and there was no news of Swain, Sophia can still detect that these servants around her are actually trying their best to hide something, and it is precisely because of this that she will fall into her own cranky thoughts even more.

"I can't say I know everything, but I only know a little. ”

Sophia was not discouraged by the maid's words, she looked at Ramrem earnestly, the hostility just now was completely gone, and her tone was much softer, slowly returning to her original appearance.

"Anyway, please tell me quickly, I can't stand the time when my brother is not around. ”

Ramrem stared at Sophia, this cold gaze did not dampen Sophia's eagerness at all, and the fire burning in Sophia's eyes even Ramrem couldn't help but be a little moved.

"Mr. Swain, while on his way to a gathering of the Metternich family, was arrested by the men of the Ministry of the Interior. ”

"Oh my God!" Sophia couldn't help but cover her mouth and almost get up, she hadn't eaten for two days, and her weak body was almost fainting when she heard such bad news after the outburst just now.

Ramrem grabbed Sophia's waist with a quick hand to prevent her from falling to the ground.

"How is my brother now, and why are the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs arresting him?" Sophia clutched Ramrem's clothes, tears welling up in her eyes and a heavy cry in her voice.

"The exact reason is not clear, but it should not be too serious, and when His Majesty Nicholas I passed away, Baron Deniz was allowed to visit the Ministry of the Interior, so it is possible that Mr. Swing will only be kept in the Ministry of the Interior in the name of assisting in the investigation, rather than formally arrested. ”

Ramrem's words made Sophia breathe a sigh of relief, and she immediately got up, ignoring her staggering steps, and was in a hurry to go out.

"Where are you going?"

"Of course, I'm going to the Ministry of the Interior, and I'm going to see my brother right away. Now Sophia finally knew what the servants had been trying to hide from her, and she couldn't stand sitting in her room any longer.

As she walked to the door, Sophia suddenly remembered something.

Manfred Schneider, that-mouthed liar, is also a man from the Ministry of the Interior!

Her gaze, which had just eased, suddenly became dangerous again.
