Chapter 2: Secrets in the Night
"She~She's ......"
"She is my sister, her name is Lu Ann, Lu Ann Che, but she is my half-brother, born to a maid, and now she is my personal guard, why do you like her. Ashini teased.
"No, no, it's just that she's always behind us, how did she keep up. Carlo was surprised.
"Isn't that weird, as a good martial artist, it's nothing to her. You say you're traveling with your companions, but now it seems that either your companions aren't skilled or you're lying. After wiping the dust from her face, the girl turned to stare at Carlo and said in a paused tone.
"But forget it, I'm just a stranger to you, and whether you lie or not, it's forgivable. Since you have nowhere else to go, why don't you be my attendant, and I'll give you a good glimpse of the reality of the world. Although Carlo did not know what the girl was talking about in the real world, he knew that the slender and delicate face of the girl Atheni was particularly charming in the sun, and the spread of her blonde hair added a softness to her. It was difficult for Carlo to put the girl who lifted him around like a rag doll with the figure of Lord Ashini.
"But, then, Ashini, I have to go back to my companions, or they will be worried. ”
"And who are your companions?"
"Well, I don't know much about them, they all happened after I lost my memory. Carlo continued to lie.
"I see, since you don't know them in the first place, and you don't know how to find them, it's better to stay here, anyway, it's the same for you who have amnesia, I might try to find a way to get you back to your memory. The girl continued.
"No, there's no need to recover your memory. When Carlo heard that he had helped him recover his memory, he panicked.
"Well, what did you say?" the girl turned to look at Carlo in surprise, making him nervous.
"Well, I mean, my companions have tried many things before, but to no avail, so I've given up, and I don't have to bother with you. ”
"Well, I don't care, but in that case, you agree to stay. ”
"Well, sort of. Carlo said helplessly, he could see that although he didn't know what the girl lord Ashini had in mind, he was like a stray dog that had been picked up, and he was tethered by this master.
"Okay, in that case, Lu Li'an, take my new retinue to the room to rest, you can treat him as a guest for the time being, I still have something to deal with. With that, Atheni entered the castle, leaving only Carlo with a sleek back, and all the servants left with her, leaving only the brown-haired warrior Lou Dien in armor.
"Your name is Renault, right, come with me. When Arsini disappeared behind the door, Lucien walked up to Carlo, spoke with a blank face, and then turned and entered the castle.
"Ah, wait. Carlo's call was not answered, and he had no choice but to follow quickly, and also entered the castle.
The castle of the girl lord is not large, including the front hall, the middle garden and the residence only occupy an area of a few hundred square meters, the servant's residence is on the left, the right side is the martial arts practice ground, and in addition, there are two towers on the left and right. Loucien did not take Carlo to the servant's quarters on the left, and after introducing the general structure of the castle, she did not say a word until she took Carlo to the tower on the right, opened the wooden door of one of the rooms, and suddenly said, "This is your room." ”
"Thank you. Glancing cautiously at the expressionless beauty warrior, Carlo thanked him.
Watching Carlo enter his bedroom, Lu Li'an hesitated, but finally opened her mouth and said, "You, your name is Renault, I don't know what she is thinking, but you'd better get out of here as soon as possible." With that, he turned and went down the stairs, and when Carlo turned around, he saw only a lonely back.
"Wait a minute, what do you mean by that. Naturally, she meant Athenie, but Carlo didn't understand why she was admonishing him like this, so she went out to ask, but Loucian went downstairs without pausing as if she hadn't heard.
"Well, Miss Lou Ann, please wait a moment for what you just said. Carlo chased a few more steps, but Lou Dien had already disappeared into the stairs, leaving Carlo in confusion.
"Also, don't walk around at night, someone will bring you dinner. Lucien's last words echoed through the deserted staircase.
Back in his room, Carlo was increasingly confused about the current situation due to the lack of information, but he was keenly aware that the relationship between the girl lord Ashini and her sister Lou Dien was probably not just not harmonious, and he himself did not know why he had become the sandwich between them. Because he saw that every time Ashini finished talking to him, he would glance at Lucian and observe her expression, which meant that all of Ashini's actions were probably aimed at provoking Lucian, which made Carlo feel very uneasy.
In the evening, as Lou Tien had said, a maid brought Carlo a simple dinner, and he wanted to take this opportunity to ask about the castle, especially about her master, Arsini, but the old maid, who was in her forties, kept a cold face like Lou Dioen. Finally, when he was leaving, he added: "You'd better not be caught between the two sisters." ”
The old servant's tone was cold when he said this, and even Carlo felt creepy, and even the servant said this, and Carlo suddenly felt that his situation had become delicate.
At night, lying on a simple and comfortable bed, Carlo couldn't sleep, leaving Youlan had made Carlo feel very uncomfortable, and now in this strange castle, he was even more uneasy. However, the starry sky outside the window was so bright that he unconsciously climbed to the top of the tower. When he reached the top of the building, he found a sky bridge, and then he remembered that during the day he did see that the two towers of the castle were connected by a sky bridge, but he did not know if the other tower was also a guest room.
Walking to the middle of the bridge and listening to the breeze blowing in his ears, although it made Carlo feel a little cold, looking at the same starry sky in a strange place made Carlo feel a little comforted.
Just as Carlo was soothing his nervousness, suddenly a strange sound sounded from his left side, that is, the tower on the left, which sounded like a "pop" slapping sound. This made his heart skip a beat, and he suddenly remembered Lu Yuan'an's instructions, "Don't walk around at night." ”
So, he wanted to go back to his room, but after a few steps, Carlo stopped. Curious, frightened, flustered, nervous, and in a state of uncertainty that he himself was not sure of, Carlo turned and walked quietly, step by step, to the tower on the left.
As he walked, the sound became clearer and clearer, and if he hadn't come to the skybridge at the top of the tower, Carlo would never have found it, and perhaps it was for this reason that Carlo chose to find out.
Entering the staircase of the tower on the left, Carlo felt a layer of dust on the wall, and the staircase was pitch black due to the lack of torches, not as bright as the right tower, which made him even more frightened, as if no one had come. Could it be that the voice is imprisoned in the tower on the left, and if so, will the one who lives in the tower on the right be imprisoned as well?
Thinking of this, Carlo still plucked up his courage and continued to walk inside, and gradually, the voice became clearer and clearer. However, during the descent from the stairs, Carlo did not touch any spider silk, and it seemed that the place was just not cleaned very often, but it was not that no one came.
About two floors down, Carlo finally saw a glimmer of light, a dilapidated wooden door, and the light was shining through the crack in the wooden door. At the same time, Carlo heard the girl's muffled voice coming from inside the wooden door. Carefully approaching the wooden door, Carlo was finally able to peek into the secret through the crack in the door, the first thing he saw was a girl's body with his back to him, **, and the girl's back was full of red whip marks, a leather whip was constantly dancing, and the snapping sound was made by this whip. Carlo couldn't see the face of the whipped man, but he recognized the beautiful brown hair, and it was Lou Nian.
