Chapter 172: Shiryl
Dressed as a maid, Shiryl stood on the balcony on the third floor, leaning against the railing at the edge of the balcony, bathed in sunlight.
A few days ago, when Manik and Haytham left, they left her and eleven other slaves behind, and then they met the owner of the villa, Sean Morton, a well-known apprentice-level alchemist.
Of course, Shiryl knew how noble a probationary-level professional was, so as soon as she heard about it, she completely extinguished the idea of leaving.
After all, how could such a big man care about those dozens of gold coins? Even if her brother did scrape together the money with the help of a miracle, he probably wouldn't be able to save her from here.
What's more, compared to her current living conditions, maybe Marion, who is in the outside world, is the one who needs to be saved.
Shiryl pursed her lips and smiled suddenly.
In fact, even if she is given a chance to leave now, she will not leave, this kind of day when she only needs to do a little light chores every day, and she can eat and drink well without thinking about anything, she can't find it outside at all.
"What are you doing here?"
A cold voice sounded behind her, and Shiryl quickly turned around and bent slightly towards the comer.
"Good afternoon, Miss Scarlett, may I ask for any orders?"
Shiryl asked respectfully.
Standing in front of her at this moment was a young girl with an aristocratic temperament, her full name was Estelle Scarlett, and she was one of the owners of this place.
In the hearts of Shiryl and the other eleven slaves, the first on the list was naturally Sean, the great alchemist who was not often seen, but he was the highest-ranking being in this villa.
Secondly, there is the female elf named Celia, who is always by Sean's side.
Although she is also a slave, she is deeply favored by Sean, not to mention the twelve people of Shiryl, even in front of Estelle, Celia is also cold.
Perhaps in her eyes, except for the supreme master Sean, everyone else is a dispensable ornament.
……
"It's nothing, it's just a little boring."
Estelle glanced at Sheryl from beginning to end, then walked to her with a light step.
"Lord Sean has a lot of things to do every day, and I don't dare to disturb him, so I can only talk to you to relieve my boredom."
"By the way, I remember your name is Shiryl, right? I heard them say that you were once a local commoner in Hogger, how did you become a slave?"
Estelle stretched, the sun caressed her slender body, and the delicate face and noble temperament made Shiryl feel a little ashamed of herself.
"Hmm...... Yes, that ......."
Shiryl took a deep breath and began to recount her experience as Steele watched with interest.
……
……
"Well, I see, you and your brother are pitiful."
"But since you're here, your fate in the future is up to Lord Sean, and even if your brother saves up all the gold coins that can redeem you in the future, I'm afraid he won't be able to leave with you."
Time flies by as the two talk, and because of Shellyl's talent for storytelling, Estelle can't help but feel a little pity in her heart after listening to it.
"Of course, I can't rule out the possibility that Lord Sean will suddenly show kindness and let you regain your freedom, but ......
Estelle paused suddenly, and she looked at the lonely figure walking towards the villa in the distance, and had a strange premonition in her heart.
"Shiryl, do you know that person?"
Under Istelle's reminder, Shiryl, who was originally a little absent-minded, subconsciously looked in the direction where her arm was pointing.
The moment she saw the visitor's face, her pupils contracted violently, and Shiryl could easily identify him even from a distance.
It was her brother, the brother who would do everything in his power to free her from slavery.
……
……
Just as Shiryl cast her gaze, Marion looked up as well.
The eyes of the two met, Marion rubbed his eyes, and after confirming that he had not seen the wrong person, a look of ecstasy suddenly appeared on his face.
"It's okay, I'll get you out."
Marion thought silently in his mind, and then ran briskly in the direction of the villa.
In order to find out where Shiryl went, he had already paid a lot of price, and now, he must not give up halfway.
……
Before Marion could reach out and knock on the door, the door of the villa opened silently.
Shiryl stood straight by the door, looking at Marion with excited eyes, she didn't know how her brother found this place, but she must have wasted a lot of thought along the way.
"Sheryl...... Are you okay these days?"
Marion hesitated for a moment, and finally turned a thousand words into one sentence, and he looked at his sister carefully, for fear that she would be mistreated by her new master.
"She's fine, you don't need to worry about it."
Just as Shiryl opened her mouth slightly to say something, Estell, who was standing beside her, suddenly took a step forward with a blank face and stretched out her hand to stop in front of the two.
"It's an honor to serve Lord Sean, and life here is much better than outside, so if you're really thinking about your sister, don't think about taking her away."
Estelle sneered, "What's more, have you asked Shiryl's opinion?" Maybe it's all wishful thinking on your part, and she doesn't want to go with you at all?"
Estelle's words stabbed Marion in the face like a knife, and he opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't dare to say anything cruel here, so he could only look at Shiryl with a look of help, wanting to get the answer to the question just now.
"Yes...... Yes, I'm doing well here and don't want to leave at all."
"Brother, don't think about me all the time, let's take care of yourself more."
Shiryl hesitated for a moment, and finally closed her eyes and said this, she did not dare to continue to look at Marion, for fear of being stabbed by the other party's possible disappointment in the eyes.
"Hear me, stop being presumptuous, instead of continuing to pester here, you might as well use this energy to earn a little more gold."
Estelle said this in a mocking tone, and before Marion could come to her senses, she simply reached out and closed the door, completely separating the two of them.
Beside her, Shiryl fell to her knees with her face in her hands, silent tears streaming down her fingers, wetting the spotless floor tiles.
