Chapter 10: The Mysterious Diary
"Why, are you surprised?" After telling the astonishing past, Lou Dien regained her old coldness, as if it had nothing to do with her.
Picking up the spoon that had fallen to the ground, Carlo stared at Lou Dien, who continued to concentrate on her meal, looking at her indifferent appearance, always feeling that this was not the real her, because she was the first to prompt herself to leave their sisters. Of course, Atheni had been nice to him until now, but when she tried to use herself to stimulate Lucien, Carlo's heart was uneasy.
"Yes, I was surprised. Actually, that day, the night I came to your castle, I saw it in the tower, and I saw Ashini whipping you, I didn't know how she used to treat you, but now, I finally understand the reason why she hates you. But why did she choose me to put me between you?" wondered Carlo.
Lucien glanced at Carlo and did not answer until she had finished the food in front of her, and then she said, "Thirteen years ago, I was ten years old, and Arsini was seven, and after her mother died, her uncle took her away so that she would not be further stimulated. When she came back at the age of ten, I was thirteen years old, and in her absence, there was a boy who accompanied me through three sad years, and that boy felt exactly like you. ”
The boy was Lou Dioen's lover, Carlo judged so, because at this moment Lou Juan's gaze softened when looking at her, and even her indifferent expression softened, and Carlo understood why Radian never stared at herself.
"What happened to the boy. Carlo asked, but he guessed that the boy might not end up well.
"When Ashini returned, she found him, told him of his hatred for me, and gave him the choice of either staying against her or leaving with a bag of gold. The boy did not have the courage to stay, and a few days later, the boy of thirteen or fourteen was found in the suburbs, when he was already a corpse. Not only was he cowardly, but he was not smart enough to forget how dangerous it was to carry a bag of gold alone. ”
"Dead, could it be Ashini ......"
"It's not her, it's the robbers, it's none of her business. Lou Dien interrupted Carlo with a sad expression.
"At that time, you must have been very sad. ”
"Yes, it's sad, it's the saddest I've had since my mother died. Raising his hand to wipe away the tears that were about to fall, Lu Lian suddenly regained her original mask and continued: "Okay, you've listened to the story, I think you should know your situation, and the rest depends on your own choice." With that, Lu Li'an got up and left the restaurant.
"Wait a minute......"
Carlo ignored Lucien's cries and walked out of the room quickly, leaving Carlo alone. If everything Lucien said was true, then Ahini did have a reason to resent Lucian, and she was also involved in it because of the boy in the story, and was a tool for Arsini to take revenge on Lucien, so Lucian reminded herself to let her go.
But Carlo also didn't understand, Lou Dien stayed with Atheini with such a feeling, since Ahini took away her lover, did she also have a grudge against Atheini, and what happened to Lu Dien's father and mother, he had never met them, and he had never heard anyone mention them.
Just then, Anna knocked on the door and entered, holding a clean spoon in her hand, apparently ordered by Lou Diean.
"Miss Anna. Carlo stopped, turned and walked over to the old servant.
"What's the matter, Mr. Reynolds. Anna turned in displeasure, and Carlo could sense her hostility towards her.
"May I ask which side you are on between Miss Ahini and Miss Lou Ann?"
Anna was stunned when she heard this, and suddenly her expression softened: "I can't have my own position, I just hope that the two of them don't hurt each other, so, Mr. Renault, please don't expand the wounds between them anymore, they are just two poor kindergarten teachers licking each other's wounds." Then he ignored Carlo and turned to leave the room.
What did Anna's words mean by the young teachers licking each other's wounds, and why didn't she and Luanna make it clear when they asked? With these questions, tonight was destined to be another sleepless night for Carlo.
After the meal, Carlo returned to the room alone and muttered quietly, only to find that the clothes boxes in the room were gone, but there was an extra suitcase and his leather bag put together, and when he opened it, sure enough, several new clothes were lying quietly inside, and the damaged clothes he had changed into were also washed and put inside.
Closing the box, Carlo put the box and the bag away, but suddenly felt that there was something wrong, he put down the box, picked up his bag with both hands, checked it, and felt that the bag was much heavier than before for some reason. Confused, Carlo carefully opened the purse and poured out the contents.
The bag had originally contained something of its own, with many strange props, an atlas that looked like a boat, a hard gray stone engraved with strange runes, a letter, and a silver sapphire crystal pendant embedded with cracks, but at this time there was an extra book with a black leather bag cover.
Carlo clearly remembered that there was no book in the bag, and when he opened the book, he found that the first page had a few words written on it, but he did not recognize the words, and none of the back pages were handwritten, the book looked like it had been hidden for a long time, the pages had been yellowed, and the second half of the book was blank.
"No, wait. Carlo suddenly thought of something, and from a new look, he found that although he couldn't read the text on it, judging from the format of the article, it could be a diary, but whose original owner was it, and who put it in his backpack?
Come to think of it, there might be only one thing Carlo could guess. Today he had only left the room during dinner, and had spoken a lot to Lucian at that time. Then Lou Tien left the dining room before he did, so it is likely that the diary was quietly entered after the servant had finished his salute and put it in, and its owner was probably Ashine.
It's a pity that although he can communicate with the people of the Eastern Continent, he can't read the words here. And he couldn't ask Lu Li'an directly, Lu Li'an quietly hid this diary in his bag, obviously for a purpose, otherwise she could hand it over to herself, then, he couldn't ask her intentions directly.
Now Carlo felt like he had been given a mysterious box that made him mad with curiosity, but he didn't have the key to the box, and his heart itched and uncomfortable. So, when he got up the next day, his face was pale and unrefreshed.
