Chapter 205: The Marquis
Before stepping into the castle, Benjamin's most repeated warning was "do not accept any invitations".
Esther always remembered.
Her gaze shifted from the young man's outstretched hand to his face, "Where's your glasses?"
Benjamin withdrew his hand and nodded his temples with a wry smile: "My eyesight was fine, because the glasses were destroyed in the battle, so I put them away."
After saying this, his dissatisfied eyes fell on the bat, and even people could hear the disgust between the words: "After all, there are always some pathetic beings who can't recognize their own abilities."
Esther's right hand flipped up suddenly, and there was a heavy compass in her hand, and she quickly glanced at the hands that began to spin.
There is only one lone one.
Benjamin looked at her strange behavior and said nothing, and when Esther's gaze turned back to him, he just smiled at her and shook his head silently.
Esther grabbed it with her backhand, stole the compass again, and put it away, "Just to make sure it's safe for a moment."
"Shall we go, then? Trust me, you're safe with me."
Before Benjamin could reach out to Esther again, the bat squeaked again, and even propped itself up with its intact wings, and pounced fiercely at Benjamin's feet.
Benjamin made a light turn, out of the way, and moved closer to Esther's side.
After a pounce, the bat lay weakly on the ground, screaming weaker and weaker, and finally hung its head weakly, except for a slight heaval of its body to make it clear that it was still breathing.
Esther didn't look at the bat again, but stared at Benjamin's position, slowly took a step back, two steps, and reopened the distance between the two: "Your glasses are broken? You don't have spare glasses that you can change?"
Benjamin stared at her quietly for two seconds, then reached into his arms and pulled out a pair of distorted frames, the lenses of his right eye completely detached, and the lenses of his left eye were half shattered, and the remaining lenses were full of cracks.
Benjamin shook the glasses at Esther, "You saw that, right? I didn't lie to you, don't you want to trust your companion?"
The smell of lies.
The moment Esther realized this, she stepped back quickly, clinging to the wall at the edge of the rooftop, touching the dusty stone bricks: "I believe Benjamin, but not impostors."
"Benjamin" laughed, but his smile was more genuine than the real Benjamin: "If you jump, you will be caught by the garden, and I will not interfere."
"Garden?" Esther was able to keep her composure until the other party actually made a move, and she didn't mind taking advantage of the opportunity to learn more about the castle, which would also delay some time.
As Benjamin planned, she is the bait, and the presence of Benjamin in front of her is most likely the owner of this castle. Only in this way can we explain why the "Benjamin" in front of Esther's eyes looks quite normal, and in this strange castle, only the Marquis himself can put on a disguise and try to send an "invitation" to Esther.
"Benjamin" chuckled and shook his head at Esther, "You can see both the real and the illusory, and this is a very peculiar quality, unique even among my guests. Aren't you curious, why......
The ends of the golden-brown hair gradually turned jet black and automatically coiled up on the top of the head, and a red rose with thorns sprouted from it, tying up the silky strands. The figure shrank slowly, the scarlet under the eyes covered the rest of the color, the original Wenxiu's appearance became delicate and soft, and the black slender eyelashes swept, making the smile even sweeter.
The crimson moonlight flowed beside her, weaving into layers of gothic-breasted black gowns with skirts, her white shoulders *** outside, wrapped in a beautiful crimson gauze shawl, and a necklace inlaid with huge garnet-colored gems hung around her neck.
The young and beautiful lady had long black lace gloves in her hands, which she held in front of her
The glasses gradually dissolved and branched out, turning into a mass of bright red roses.
"Why did my garden end up eating the castle and making it like this?" The lady lowered her head and put her nose next to the rose, her eyes were very sad, and she looked very pitiful.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a wall behind her, Esther would only take another step back, and the other party's weakness in demeanor would only make Esther detect a more obvious trap.
But it was impossible to be silent any longer, Esther's intuition had no premonition of danger, but she did not dare to relax, but recalled what Benjamin had said earlier.
Esther tried to be as polite as she could with the lady who had just pretended to be Jamin: "Are you the Marquis of Kailar?"
Kaylar laughed, and she tiptoed on the empty rooftop several times, and the heels under her skirt did not affect her movements at all. She must have been very skillful in her dancing moves, which came to Esther's mind, and she noticed that Kellar had become more cautious and did not use this movement to close the distance between the two.
The bat on the ground trembled, burying its head under its wings, and even rubbing its claws against the ground, clutching at the gaps between the stone bricks, trying to move its body to the edge of the roof.
It was clear that it was more afraid of Kaylar on the other side than Esther.
Kylar stopped, and her rose-like skirt fell silent again, and her smile was so quiet and gentle that no one could see anything unusual, except that the red eyes, as if hiding the crimson moonlight, made Esther feel evil.
Kaylal's slender fingers twisted around the edge of the red rose and looked at Esther on the other side, "Do you like roses?" Would you like to give you one?"
"Thanks, but no, I'm pollen allergic." Esther is unequivocal.
Kylar looked down and bit down on a petal, gently tearing it off, and in the process, Esther saw Kylar's sharp teeth, which made her feel a chill again.
The other party is at least the extraordinary person of Sequence Three, Esther has no confidence to deal with it head-on, she also took out the compass just now for a moment, hoping that Benjamin can detect it and understand her reminders and warnings.
It would have been better if he had seized the time to achieve his goal, at least Esther didn't feel much hostility from the Marquis of Kailar, but ......
Esther looked at the beautiful Bloodclan across from her, and Kaylar was biting at the petals, chewing them carefully before swallowing them. Esther really didn't expect the Marquis to be a lady.
After eating a few petals, Kylar looked up at Esther again, and Kylar's curious and pure eyes made the girlish innocence in her even more obvious: "What is a pollen allergy?"
"It makes me uncomfortable to be near the flowers," Esther replied with a non-smiling smile as she hooked the corners of her mouth.
"It's pitiful," said Kylar, with a look of pity, "it's sad that someone can't appreciate the beauty of flowers."
Asther didn't know how to respond, just smirked and nodded, and then the scene was at a stalemate again, and Kaylar kept looking at Esther with the same look of a poor worm.
This made Esther feel very uncomfortable, she didn't know why Kylar was here, but the other party really didn't have any intention of attacking, Esther recalled the conversation between the two in her mind, which was probably in line with Benjamin's "polite exchange"?
Kellar chuckled suddenly, and she stood on her tiptoes again, striding and spinning back and forth again, as if an invisible dance partner was being pulled by her. Every time Kylar leaned over, got up, and took small steps, her skirt rose and fell back and forth, allowing her skirt to sway like a blooming black rose on the desolate platform.
The crimson veil on her shoulders lifted as she danced, and seemed to capture the best parts of the moonlight, brushing her cheeks and kissing her smile as she danced.
Even if all the weirdness of this castle is this, Esther has to admit that Kailar is indeed beautiful, from her dancing to her appearance, she is intoxicatingly beautiful, full of feminine charm and unique appeal, but it also makes Esther tremble.
Why is Benjamin so slow!? She didn't want to do it again
dragged this marquis, she looked too normal, this is the most chilling place!
Esther's left hand was still holding the torch, and the five fingers of her right hand were open and closed, all the way up slightly in front of her. Until Benjamin responds, it seems that she can only continue to be a spectator of the Marquis of Kelar.
As Esther pondered, she suddenly sensed that something was approaching her.
The bat was already crawling to Esther's feet, as if trying to cover it with Esther's shoes. It could see that Kiral was deliberately keeping his distance, so he wanted to get closer to Esther, seeking a little security.
Kaylar's dance steps stopped again, ending with a split downward press, and strands of black hair hung down her forehead, making Kaylar's face even more seductive.
When her eyes fell on her with longing and appeal, Esther did not hesitate to preemptively, and before Kylar could say anything, Asther clapped vigorously, and her mouth was full of "good" and "beautiful", and she almost began to whistle.
Esther's series of praises poured out like a repeater, and this "enthusiasm" directly made Kylar stunned in place.
Kylar slowly withdrew her outstretched arm, and she kept turning the roses in her hands, looking at Esther with a strange gaze.
Esther concluded with a hearty "Dancing great", and when she saw that Kylar had lost the desire to communicate, she simply shut her mouth.
The rooftop fell silent for a while, and although it was embarrassing, Esther always felt that it was better than the other party to continue to invite her.
Anyway, she dances well in Kwakelal, so she won't be considered rude, right?
