Chapter 130: Monsters
Sasha helped Lilian braid her hair and said cautiously: "By the way, Miss, Master Herschel said that you don't have to receive guests today, so you can have a good rest today." β
"Huh? Why, aren't there still guests who come to mourn my father today? Lilian asked, puzzled.
"Actually, ...... last night"
"Ahem!"
Sasha was interrupted by Ennie's coughing before she could finish her sentence.
"Miss." Ennie said: "The lord is afraid that you are too tired, you can rest well today, anyway, the important guests almost all came yesterday, and there should not be many guests today." β
"Ah, yes, yes." Sasha also helped: "Miss, the master's kindness, you should accept the love of your elders, and rest today." β
"Well, well......"
Although Lilian felt a little strange, since it was her uncle's kindness, she didn't refuse much, in fact, she also felt that it was very tiring to see those guests she didn't know, and she had to keep her demeanor at all times.
"Well, in that case, you won't go near the cemetery for the time being, it's easy to bump into the guests who come to mourn." Ennie said.
Hearing the word cemetery, Lilian's brain felt like it had been pricked by a needle, and several fragments suddenly flashed through her mind. Lilien pressed her temples in pain, her legs staggering and unsteady.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Sasha hurriedly held Liliam.
Ennie also hurried up to check on Lilyam's condition with concern.
After a few moments, however, Lilian's expression returned to her senses, but her eyes were a little glazed.
"Miss, are you alright? Do you want to call a priest? Ennie asked.
"Huh?" Lilian stared at Ennie for two seconds before she said, "No, no, I'm fine, it's just that I had a little insomnia last night, so I was a little dizzy, thank you." β
Sasha and Ennie looked at each other.
"In this way, we understand your feelings, Miss, everyone is sad about the master, but Miss you must pay attention to your body." Sasha said.
"Thanks, Sasha, I'll take note." Lilian said softly, "You guys go out first, since I don't have to entertain guests today, I want to take a break." β
"Okay, then let's go, Miss, you have a good rest."
Ennie and Sasha walked out with sympathy on their faces.
After the two left, the room fell silent again.
Lilien sat down on the bed, and the expression she had had on the face of the maids had disappeared, and she was flushed from her neck to the base of her ears, and her face was twisted as if she had eaten too sweet sugar.
(What was just-just?) Is it a dream? But how could it feel so real, Mr. Xu Shuo ......)
Just now, Liliam recalled a few fragments, albeit just a few extremely short, broken fragments, but there was something very remarkable in them.
Lilion threw herself face down on the bed, pulling one hand over the pillow and pressing it tightly against her head, holding her head and swinging her feet up and down.
(Ahhh Or is it reality? If it is realistic, how will I face Mr. Xu Shuo in the future? If it's a dream, why do I have such a dream? Isn't this a spring dream?! )
Liliam took the pillow in her arms and rolled on the bed.
After rolling for a while, he stopped again, hugged the pillow and fell into deep thought.
(however, if it is a dream, the touch...... οΌ
Liliam stared at the pillow in her arms for two seconds, then closed her eyes and slowly imprinted her lips.
After going on like this for more than a dozen seconds, Lilian's eyes widened.
(No, what am I doing?!) οΌ
Lilion blushed and tossed the pillow aside, then patted her cheek hard.
(Don't be cranky, Lilian!) You're engaged, you're engaged to Mr. Brown! οΌ
At the thought of Bron, the heart that had been excited slowly fell silent.
Lilion sighed and sat back up, thinking hard about what had happened.
(What happened last night?) I remember when the dinner was over, I was about to go back to my room, and then ...... Strange, when did I go back to my room to change into my pajamas, and when did I fall asleep? What happened to Mr. Xu Shuo and me? Why do I have the memory of kissing Mr. Xu Shuo...... οΌ
Thinking of Xu Shuo, Lilian fell face down on the bed again.
This time, though, she quickly got back up again.
(You can't get an answer to your dreams, so let's go to the scene and see it!) οΌ
In Lilian's memory, the place where she kissed Xu Shuo was dark and dark, but for some reason she could see the surrounding scene, she remembered that it was next to a flower garden. The flower garden seemed to be near the cemetery, which is why Ennie remembered something when she mentioned the cemetery.
So, Lilien decided to go to the cemetery, and when she went out, she walked in the direction of the cemetery, keeping an eye on her surroundings to avoid bumping into any guestsβshe didn't want to be stopped by anyone at this point.
But when she actually arrived at the cemetery, the scene in front of her made Lilian stunned.
"What the hell is this ......"
The cemetery's doors have been torn down, the walls have become tattered, and there are scattered dirt and destroyed flower beds everywhere, and dozens of maids and housekeepers are cleaning up the ruined cemetery, including Sasha and Ennie.
When the servants saw Liliane, they all showed panicked expressions, and Sasha and Ennie were the worst.
"Miss, Miss, why are you here?" Ennie put down her work and trotted to Lilian, with an uneasy expression on her face, "Miss, go back and rest, if you let Lord Herschel know that you are here, he will scold us." β
"What's going on? Ennie, why did the cemetery become like this? Lilian asked anxiously.
"This ......"
"What about my father's grave? Is my father okay? β
Lilian tried to head into the cemetery, but Ennie stopped her.
"Miss, don't go in, it's already ...... inside"
"Get out of the way!"
Lilian violently pushed Ennie away and broke into the cemetery under the uneasy eyes of the servants.
When she saw the pit that had been dug open, a strange feeling came over Lilian's heart, and in addition to anger and sadness, there was also a natural pleasure.
Several images flashed through my mind, and memories surfaced little by little like foam.
"Why...... Is it? β
Lilien looked down at her hands tremblingly, and it was only then that she noticed that there was still a small amount of sand between her fingers.
"Miss!" Ennie's voice rang out not far away.
Lilion panicked as she hid her hands behind her back and looked at Ennie as she walked towards her.
"I'm sorry, Miss, Lord Herschel doesn't want you to be upset, so let's hide it from you......" Ennie said apologetically.
Lilion stared blankly at Ennie, unable to say a word.
Ennie thought that Lilian had been hit too hard, so she showed such an expression, so she said more cautiously: "But, since you still saw it, let me tell you what is going on, please be mentally prepared." β
ββ¦β¦ Mentally prepared? β
"Yes, actually, the housekeeper who made the night patrol last night saw the people who destroyed the cemetery."
Lilian's heart contracted suddenly.
"See, see?"
"Yes, but honestly, that guy isn't human......"
Ennie turned around and beckoned to a butler with a bandage on his head, "Milan, come here!" β
Hearing Ennie's call, the butler with his head bandaged on his head ran over.
When Milan arrived, Ennie said to him, "Milan, tell the eldest lady about last night." β
Milan glanced at the eldest lady, and immediately pressed her head with a bitter face, "I'm really sorry, eldest miss, for letting you see this, but I'm helpless." Last night I was supposed to be on patrol at night, and when I was patrolling the neighborhood, I heard a strange noise, and I wanted to come and see what was going on, and then I ran into that monster! β
"Monster ......"
Lilian's hand behind her slowly clenched into a fist, and she subconsciously hid her fingers in her palm.
"Yes! I can't believe it, I don't know where it came from, it's a monster with disgusting scales all over its body, and its eyes are still glowing with terrible light, as if it still has long fangs, It looks like it's more than two meters tall, it's a very incredible monster! Milan danced and gestured.
"Evil... Is it disgusting? Lilien's eyes darkened a little as she lowered her head.
"Huh? Well, disgusting and horrible! Then he said, I wanted to run, but I thought that I couldn't let that monster hurt the lord and the lady! So I fought it, and at first I was on par with the monster, and then I took the opportunity to kick it down, and it didn't move, and I thought it was knocked out by me, but it was pretended, and I was stunned by a punch in the head while I wasn't looking, and it knocked me out, this cunning monster! When I woke up, the cemetery was already like this...... Alas, damn monster, I spent a silver coin just to bandage my head! β
Milan said and glanced at Lilian, seeing that the latter did not react, and continued with some embarrassment:
"However, don't worry, Miss, although we have let it run away for the time being, we have already reported this matter to the guard, and Lord Alamo said that he will definitely send someone to catch this hateful monster, and he will not let it go unpunished! When we catch it, let's peel its scales and cook its flesh, so that the monster will not die well! β
Milan spoke vigorously, and only Ennie noticed that Lilian's face was getting more and more ugly.
"Miss, are you okay?" Ennie worriedly put her hand on Lilian's shoulder.
"Don't touch me!" Lilion slapped Ennie's hand away vigorously.
The sudden scolding made Ennie and Milan a little dazed, and the two looked at Lilian at a loss.
Under the gaze of the two, Lilien suddenly felt very frightened, and tears fell without warning, so she hurriedly covered her face, passed between the two, and ran away from the cemetery.
"Miss, where are you going-"
No matter how Ennie shouted behind her, she didn't look back.
Liliam knew there was no turning back.
