Chapter 24: The Lover
With the butler leading the way, the two soon returned to the hall where the ball was held.
The atmosphere in the hall was still good, and the shrill cry did not affect the interest of the group of nobles.
Perhaps the crowd was appeased by the Duchess, or perhaps the crowd was just a small episode.
Blanton slid onto the dance floor, and the butler hurried to the Duchess's side.
He bent down and tilted his head to say something in Madame's ear.
The smile on Madame's face did not change, and her slender hand raised a small fan to block her mouth, and whispered to the butler, and finally her eyes were precise to find Blanton, who was dancing with other noble ladies, and her eyes were full of playfulness.
It was not long before the Duchess declared the ball over, and the nobles left in the night.
"Mr. Blanton, please follow me." Seeing that the guests were almost gone, a manservant finally came.
His sister Alice stood alone, a little overwhelmed.
Blanton pointed at Alice and asked, "Where does my sister live?" ”
At this time, a middle-aged maid walked over quickly, and the manservant said, "Don't worry, sir, Marpel will take care of Miss Alice." ”
Blanton nodded at Alice and left with the valet.
The hustle and bustle of the castle fell silent, and inexplicably made people feel the coldness, Alice tightened the shawl on her body, quickened her steps, and followed Marpel closely.
Soon, the two of them came to a room that had been prepared for a long time.
Marpel only said, "If the young lady still has orders, come and look for me." Then he turned and closed the door, and withdrew.
Alice stood in the doorway for a moment, then turned around and came to the wide open window, the cold wind poured in, and it was dark in the distance, like the green grass and flowers seen before, as if a veil of castle was to cover up the illusion of swallowing people at this time.
She reached out and closed the window tightly to block out the frightening feeling, and when she glanced at the bookshelf at the end of the bed, she was immediately attracted and walked over.
The manservant led Blanton to the room, knocked on the door, made a gesture to invite in, and quietly withdrew.
Burranton looked blankly at the Duchess sitting on a bench by the window in the large bedroom.
He asked in surprise, "Auntie, why are you in my room?" ”
Madame took a sip of her glass, and then replied slowly, "My dear nephew, this is my bedroom. ”
Blanton was at a loss for a moment, not understanding the Duchess's intentions.
Madame patted the place next to her and said, "Sit next to me and have a drink with me." ”
Her wrist shook slightly, and the burgundy wine reflected the intoxicating color in the glass.
Blanton swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then relaxed, what else would he not dare to do in the game? Seize the opportunity and rush is over.
"Hear from the butler that you got lost in the castle earlier?"
"Auntie's castle is too big, and I just drank a few more drinks at the banquet, and my mind was a little confused, and I took the wrong path, and I couldn't find the way back." Blanton looked at the face of the approaching, aggressively mature woman, and the answer was still watery.
"Oh? I thought you were too scared to find the north by that scream! "Those black eyes seem to be able to see through all illusions, deep and charming, and people can't help but sink in.
"My aunt laughed, but the cry did startle me." He looked at the Duchess sincerely and asked, "So, what happened to my aunt?" How can I help you? ”
Blanton's heart was filled with longing, could this be the secret hidden by the castle?
Madame chuckled, raised her hand and patted the young face, looked out the window at the endless darkness, and said nonchalantly, "It's just to punish a disobedient bug." Young people, it's not okay to be too curious. ”
After she finished speaking, she put down her wine glass, raised her hand and high-fived, and the manservant who had led Berlanton appeared earlier.
Madame looked at Blanton, "My good nephew, may you sleep well." ”
Blanton knew that he was completely at a disadvantage in this game, so he didn't dwell on it, and decisively left with the manservant.
Not long after he left, a man of similar appearance to Burlanton entered through the hidden door in his bedroom.
It's just that as soon as the man opened his mouth, he was full of sourness, "I thought Madame would keep him." ”
"Adele, he's my nephew..."
"Oh, I'm still your guard."
…
"Adele, it's time for you to leave." He had just had a perfect time before he was kicked out of the house, but who could tell him where the girl he needed to save was?
Adel was a little dissatisfied, he was also a player, and after entering the dungeon game, he had been staying in a gorgeous room, and the previous excitement had nothing to do with him, and it was only late at night that the maid informed him to come to Madame.
He seems to be the Duchess's secret lover.
What's even worse is that the identity of this body is the guard left by the duke who is fighting abroad to protect his wife?!
It's just a mess in your circle.
He convinces himself that it's nothing, but he runs out and throws it away.
So when will he be able to find the girl and save her?
Adair was just about to express her emotions, but Madame seemed to have changed into a different person, her enthusiasm turned into cold as frost, she said in a low and cold voice, "Adele, you are overstepping!" You should know that what I like the most is that you are obedient and get out! ”
Adel seemed to see an astonishing bloodthirsty intent in his lady's dark eyes, and he was so frightened that he hurried to where he came from, and where to go back!
Back in the original room, his heart was still beating fast.
It took him a while for him to come to his senses, and he felt that he really shouldn't be so vulnerable.
But today is only the first day of the game dungeon, so don't be so anxious, he'd better sleep first and then explore slowly.
The night always hides most of the secrets.
Zhou Tang, who was in a cage in the corner of the castle, held the iron spoon hidden by her tightly in her hand, hid in the quilt, and carefully rubbed the stone wall.
But the slow efficiency gives her a bit of a headache, she won't have to grind all night to get a good weapon, right?
At this time, the long-legged beautiful girl came to her side silently, Zhou Tang keenly felt something, turned her body and hid the hand holding the spoon under her back, pretending to be asleep.
The long legs didn't let her go, and woke her up with an elbow.
"Hey! I know you didn't sleep! I hear it all! ”
Zhou Tang suddenly flipped and put the spoon that was not too sharp against the chin of his long legs.
The long legs almost reached out and grabbed her hand between the front and back of her.
"Don't get excited!" The long-legged mouth moved slightly, "I also hid a spoon, I want to get out of here too, since we have the same purpose, why don't we work together." ”
