"Teacher, someone wants to see you."

Cinderella's eyes drooped slightly, and she whispered to the teacher who was resting cross-legged.

I don't know if it's her delusion, but the aura around the teacher seems to have changed in an instant, and then quickly retracted.

"Who is it?"

The cold voice was ethereal, as if it sounded directly in Cinderella's head.

"The person who came said he was from the Arendelle family."

The teacher pondered for a while, and then spoke out unhurriedly.

"I see, let the Arendelle family in."

After receiving an accurate response, Cinderella opened the door and invited the handmaidens of the Arendelle family in.

Then she quietly exited the room so that she could discuss things with her teacher.

Cinderella stood quietly outside the door, her fingers touching the glasses she was wearing a few times, but she flinched with some hesitation.

She was very curious about the sudden visit from the Arendelle family.

But thinking of the teacher's strength, he finally stopped his actions after a few thoughts.

It's just that Cinderella couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Originally, I was also rejecting the mystery at the beginning, and I made all kinds of restrictions.

But now, there is a kind of eagerness to try after breaking the ban, and I want to try everything I see.

Is this a fall......

After a few moments, the maid bowed down and exited the teacher's room.

Seeing that the girl's eyes were on him, he bowed his head and saluted her.

Seeing this, Cinderella also subconsciously returned the salute, and when she saw the maid costume on her body, she couldn't help but fall into a brief daunting.

She thought about the time when she was treated as a servant by her stepmother and two sisters.

It's just that in her personal opinion, these are not good or bad.

There is neither nostalgia nor much disgust.

The only concern is how much change you have saved.

Thinking of this, Cinderella suddenly couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.

After all, judging from her current situation, it is far better than her previous time.

The house he lived in was a small detached house that was extremely elegant and exquisite, and the people who came and went were all aristocrats at the top of society.

As for money, there is no need to worry.

There is a teacher here, even if you need sky-high items.

She can also get it back for zero dollars.

Cinderella has seen this a few times with her own eyes, and she has some basic understanding of the teacher's character.

This kind of extravagant life has been regarded as a transformation from hell to heaven for her, who was originally hard.

If the two sisters knew that an important figure in the ducal family was willing to salute them as a sign of respect, I am afraid that their eyes would directly show endless envy and jealousy.

After all, it's something they've always dreamed of.

You may even want to replace yourself.

If I wasn't the one who was forced to go with the teacher......

Cinderella's thought suddenly occurred to her, and she couldn't help but smile dumbly.

What are you thinking, since these things have already happened, there is no reason to change them.

She was the one who was coerced by the teacher to follow, and she could never go back to the old time.

Looking at the back of the maid in the bright sunlight and retreating into the shade of the tree, Cinderella's eyes flickered.

She raised her right hand and stretched out her slender fingertips.

The fingers are slender and feminine, like a beautiful work of art, and you can't find fault with them.

Cinderella sticks out of the shadow of the eaves and touches the splendor outside.

Under the sun's rays, the skin is fair and soft, white and flawless.

It seems to be the purity of ivory, reflecting a hazy halo.

A little bit of the temperature belonging to the scorching sun trembled through the fingertips, as if it had been hooked into the body and drilled into the atrium.

This bit of temperature brought a rare comfort to Cinderella.

The eyes hidden behind the lenses are also a little blurry.

She seemed to see a very familiar figure in the hazy light and shadow.

The fingertips couldn't help but stretch longer, and the wrist seemed to hook it when it turned.

"Squeak-"

The sound of the wooden door opening and closing came from the body, like a nail, nailed to the hazy center in front of him.

"Cinderella."

Then the calm voice fell like a hammer, shattering it severely.

Cinderella's gaze gradually regained focus, and the hazy light and shadow in front of her slowly became clearer.

Take back the channel from the outside world.

Her gaze froze for a moment, and then regained a deep calm.

"Teacher."

Cinderella turned around and shouted with her head bowed respectfully.

"Is there anything you need me to do?"

"Not really."

The teacher's figure walked up to Cinderella's side, her eyes wrapped in a white silk scarf, but she seemed to be able to observe the outside environment.

"What a bright sunshine, like life in full bloom."

The robe on his body outlined a rounded curve, with a ribbon tied at the waist and a striking curve underneath.

The teacher sighed slightly, then turned to look at Cinderella.

The invisible gaze smeared slightly over her, and after a moment he reached out and removed her glasses, hooking her hair behind her ear.

Cinderella, who had lost the cover of her glasses, revealed a beautiful face.

A few strands of hair fell haphazardly, adding a bit of confusion to the golden eyes.

It's just that now the glass-like golden boy seems to be covered with a layer of gray mist, and his face is calm and waveless.

"Are you really like your mother......"

When Cinderella heard her mother, her depressed face suddenly seemed to break the ice, bringing a hint of life.

Seeing this, the corners of the teacher's mouth were slightly hooked, revealing an incomprehensible smile.

"I really don't know how she is willing to commit to that ordinary man, obviously there are infinite possibilities......"

Her tone seemed like a sigh, but Cinderella's instincts didn't.

"By the way, did you know that tonight is a banquet for Duke Arendelle's family?"

Cinderella nodded, she had heard it many times in this part of the North.

Although it was nominally a banquet for the Arendelle family, it was actually a gathering of nobles from most of the North.

So this adds another layer of meaning to the banquet.

"The duke invited us to a banquet, probably to deter others,"

The teacher whispered casually.

"I promised, so you get ready tonight."

"Anyway, have you ever attended a nobleman's banquet? I remember that your family didn't seem to be very good. ”

"You can also go and increase your knowledge, lest you have never seen any scenes and be confused by these foreign objects."

The teacher said to himself, reaching out and pulling Cinderella's clothes, although the workmanship was much more exquisite, but it still couldn't compare with the clothes of those nobles.

This was taken from others at will, and she has been wearing it until now.

"Cinderella, you should change your clothes, too."

In the face of the teacher's words, Cinderella, like a puppet, did not say anything, but was silent.

"Wait a minute, let someone measure it for you, see if there is a suitable dress, I don't want to be told that I have wronged my students......"

Soon Cinderella vanished into the spot, and she had already gone to pick out her own dress for tonight.

The teacher looked up at the blue sky, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared, and the temperament of holiness and charm on his body seemed to be replaced by another strange aura.

"Cinderella, I hope you don't make the same choice as her, go down the path she chose......"

……

Inside the Chamber of Secrets.

"Whew, whew."

Duke Arendelle struggled to straighten up, then struggled to get up.

His hair had turned a scorched white, as if it was going to fall out at any moment.

Leaning on his cane, he walked a few steps, his figure seemed to be shaky, and then he was assisted by the maid standing on the side.

"Master, I'll help you."

Looking at the duke who used to sit on one side and kill other races who did not dare to cross the border, that majestic figure has now turned into a thin and thin appearance.

The maid's eyes moved slightly, revealing a slight sigh.

Time has so much power to torture a person like this.

"Ahem, you don't need it."

Duke Arendelle waved his hand and asked the maid to step aside.

Looking at the stubborn master, the maid could only retreat helplessly to the side as instructed.

But he still kept an eye on him, and his body was ready to step forward at any time.

"Whew, what time is it now?"

Duke Arendelle adjusted his breath before slowly asking.

"Back to my lord, it's 6:54 p.m."

The maid always remembered the time, and it could be said that it was more accurate than the mechanical clocks outside, and there was almost no difference.

"Is it all this time?"

Duke Arendelle was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect time to pass so quickly.

Then he smiled bitterly, has the shadow of death almost worn out his perception of time?

"How's the banquet going?"

After Duke Arendelle closed his eyes and calmed his emotions, Fang asked the maid.

"Back to my lord, the banquet was handled by Miss Elsi, and there were almost no mistakes."

The maid's voice was a little more praised, after all, she was Elsie's assistant, and she saw everything in her eyes the whole time. ，

So naturally know the ability of this young lady.

Because this is no longer just a family banquet, it involves many nobles.

How to deal with it is a huge trouble.

But Elsie handled it perfectly, and it was almost impossible to find fault with it.

"Hahaha, worthy of my granddaughter."

Duke Arendelle was also very happy to hear this, which meant that he was more comfortable with the family in the hands of Elsi.

"Yes, Miss Elsie is very clever and talented, and has completely inherited the advantages of her master."

The maid rarely showed a smile, and hardly spared her words of praise.

The Duke nodded in satisfaction, and then instructed the maid to help Elsie with the opening ceremony.

She was embarrassed by this.

"Master, why don't I stay by your side, you have to trust Miss Elsy's abilities."

"I believe it, and I believe it very much."

"But this banquet is to put Elsie in the spotlight, and I'm going to announce at the banquet that I'm going to pass on the position of the head of the family to her, so there's no room for error, you know? You go to her side first. ”

"Sir, but ......"

The maid looked at the figure in front of her and hesitated for a moment.

"But what is it?"

"Don't you even listen to me? Or are you worried about my surprise?! ”

Duke Arendelle turned around, even though his eyes were old, but he still couldn't hide the fierce coldness inside.

At the same time, a breath unique to Huiyue was released on his body, showing the terrifying power.

"I'm the Radiant Moon Warlock, the Duke of the Empire!"

"Who can hurt me but death? What kind of accident can happen! ”

The maid's face turned pale, and then she bowed her head and left the room.

Duke Arendelle snorted coldly, then closed his eyes to regulate some of the chaotic aura on his body.

He needs to be ready for his appearance, as this may well be his last appearance.

It was only a short time after closing his eyes and pranayama that the door of the secret room opened again.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Duke Arendelle asked with a frown.

"Is there anything else you have to do when you come back? Elsie is about to play, what are you doing here without waiting next to her? ”

The words echoed through the chamber, but no answer from the maid came.

The echo faded, and Duke Arendelle finally sensed that something was wrong.

For the footsteps of the comer were heavy and hurried, and they were not the footsteps of the maids.

He opened his eyes, and the momentum on his body was released without any scruples.

Then, as he turned around, out of the corner of his eye, Duke Arendelle saw something glowing with a cold light falling at him.

A cold feeling suddenly swept over the whole body.

His figure flickered subconsciously, and then layer after layer of protective shield covered his whole body.

It's just that at the moment when the mysterious factor surged, the thing that was thrown at him seemed to be caused by this to cause some kind of change.

Then a very strange aura emanated from the surface of the thing.

Then they are connected to each other's breath and pull each other.

The mysterious factor in Duke Arendelle's body was suddenly affected by this.

If this state had been placed in the past, it would have been nothing but confusion.

But now, with his current condition, his momentum suddenly withered, and his flashes were forcibly interrupted.

Thankfully, the shield had already been formed, and it was all around Duke Arendelle.

Before he could catch his breath, the thing actually pierced through the layers of shields and plunged directly into his body!

The Duke looked down at his abdomen, a blank look on his face.

At this moment, he finally saw the whole picture of this thing.

It was a small knife, except that an upright idol had replaced the hilt.

"It's ......"

Before he could think of anything, the idol suddenly shone with a misty light, flickering like breathing.

Duke Arendelle felt that all the power in his body was surging towards his abdomen, and then it was strangely absorbed.

He fell to his knees in agony, cold sweat professing from him.

Trying to raise his head to look at the visitor, his face was reluctant and incredulous.

"Ah...... Miscellaneous...... ......"
