Translator: 549690339
Liz clearly remembered that she had carefully hidden such an important handkerchief in the deepest drawer of the wardrobe. Even if she wanted to find it herself, she would have to spend a lot of effort.
But…
This handkerchief stained with her blood had appeared in the maid’s basket. Furthermore, Liz’s extremely strong observation skills had noticed that the handkerchief was located at the bottom of the basket.
This meant that it was…The maid first put the clothes in, followed by the other clothes!
so…
The deputy head maid was looking for this handkerchief!
Liz came to this conclusion immediately.
Then, he continued down.
How did the other party know that this handkerchief was on him? He even
knew where she had hidden her her <br> <br> After all, there were no traces of rummaging in the house, which meant that the other party had reached his target in one go.
On the other hand, why would a new Deputy Head Maid take this handkerchief? Did she know the meaning of this handkerchief? Or could it be…
Who was the person who instructed her to do so? And the person who instructed her to do so could not enter and exit her room at will…
Shua!
It was clearly noon outside the window, but the young girl in the room was pale and bloodless.
Liz didn’t dare to think any further.
When rationality and emotion clashed violently, the confusion, pain, and confusion that it brought were tormenting Liz at all times.
In such a situation, the body would take defensive measures to prevent the brain from collapsing. However, when it came to humans…
Escape.
For the first time, Liz did not even change her clothes or remove her makeup. She lifted the blanket on the bed and covered herself completely.
The white handkerchief, which she had thought was very important, was now casually thrown away. She didn’t know where it had fallen outside the bed.
Liz had no mother since she was young. It was said that she died during childbirth.
Her only relative was her father.
But now.
Even her only family member had become so unfamiliar that Liz could not recognize her at all.
Her body was curled up in the blanket.
Darkness enveloped Liz.
Along with the darkness, there was also a sense of loneliness that came from the depths of her heart. It was like a tidal wave that wanted to drown her.
“Vivian…A-Alina…
The young girl used the mosquito’s voice to chant. The name of the person who could help her resist the sense of loneliness was not only the little girl, but even the name of the little servant girl appeared in Lissy’s mouth.
Of course, the other man would not be able to escape either.
If it had been before the fund-raising dinner, perhaps this name would have started with a certain “Da” syllable.
But now…
. Bai…”
The Earl’s Castle was heavily guarded, not to mention the floor where she and her father lived. Liz did not believe that Bai could sneak in at all. This was also why Liz insisted on going out and summoning Bai Yisheng.
But how should he put it? When people were helpless, they hoped for a miracle to happen, especially girls.
When she was young, Liz was like other girls her age. She loved reading novels.
But the difference was that other girls would hold their breath and be extremely worried when they saw the princess in fairy tales being bullied by bad people. However, Liz never did that.
She had been smart since she was young and knew that the princess would be fine no matter how dangerous she was. After all, there would always be a brave and intelligent knight who would save her from the hands of the monster.
So, she…Could it be the “princess” in fairy tales?
Liz poked her head out from under the blanket.
He stared at the room.
Because if it was really as Bai’s words said, as long as she called out to him, then no matter where she was, Bai would always be able to find her and ring in her ears. That cheap ” Yo, beautiful lady ” greeting that made her want to hit someone.
One minute…Five minutes…Fifteen minutes…One hour…
The answer was obvious.
She, Liz, was not a princess from a fairy tale.
Because at the very least, the most important thing for a princess was that she…No, he didn’t.
Sleepiness hit him.
Perhaps it was because he had consumed too much mental energy.
When he came to this conclusion, his tense nerves could no longer hold on.
Liz’s eyelids began to twitch.
Before she completely closed up and her consciousness disappeared, the last thought in Liz’s mind was…
She had clearly wrapped the blanket tightly around her body.
But why…
Still so cold?
In the Earl’s study.
“Did she leave the room and try to go out?”
” No. After chasing me away, I waited outside the door of the young miss for two hours. At first, when I left, the young miss’s heart rate and breathing were still rising rapidly. However, after an hour, it gradually slowed down until it was very uniform. I think there is a high chance that the young miss has fallen asleep. ”
Lina reported to Count Sisre in a mechanical tone.
The Earl sneered after hearing that.
“My daughter has really grown up. She’s starting to side with outsiders. I heard that Liz even changed her clothes and put on makeup? What was he doing sneaking out? A date with a little lover? Humph…”
The earl seemed to be talking to the maid, but he also seemed to be talking to himself.
After a long while, he spoke again.
“I asked you to search her room for anything suspicious, such as letters with someone. Did you find anything?”
Count Sisl had a strong intuition that even though he had a reason for his plan to fail, there must be someone behind Liz who was secretly adding fuel to the fire and guiding her daughter.
However, the Earl did not know how the other party had managed to create a crack in his daughter’s heart, despite the image of a father that he had painstakingly cultivated for so many years.
“There is a Count, but when I left, the Eldest Miss accidentally discovered it. She deliberately blocked my view and secretly took it back.
Lina’s words were still calm, but the Earl’s eyes lit up. He didn’t expect to find a
clue so soon.
“Tell me, what did you find in Liz’s room? ”
The Earl urged, his face filled with curiosity.
But soon, his expression froze on the spot as if he had been petrified.
It’s a handkerchief.’
“A handkerchief stained with the blood of the young miss in the center. “Lina added.
“It’s time to wake up, miss…’
It was as if a familiar voice was calling him.
However, when the girl wanted to capture him, it was like a dream, disappearing without a trace.
He did not know how long he had slept.
When Liz opened her eyes in a daze, the originally bright room was now pitch-black.
They all arrived… Was it night time?
Oh no!
Was it almost dinnertime?
Dinner meant that she would see her father again and vice head maid Lina. Liz had no idea what would happen to her in her current state.
To make matters worse, Liz felt a wave of soreness all over her body. This should be the result of sleeping without changing into pajamas, right?
Moreover, her face was also very uncomfortable. There was a slippery feeling.
After all, she hadn’t even removed her makeup.
If she went to see her father like this, Liz wouldn’t even have a chance to explain herself.
so…
What time is it now?
She had to get out of bed, take a shower, and change her clothes.
He thought to himself.
Hence, he decided to do it.
The girl turned her head.
Liz first had to confirm the time, so she had to look at the clock on the wall.
But in the darkness.
The moment the girl turned her head, what appeared in her vision was not a clock.
Instead…
A face, a human face.
The middle-aged man’s face.
Count Sisre.
Father.
In the darkness, he sat by the bed and stared at her. She slept on the bed in the pitch-black room. She did not know how long he had been in this position.
Liz’s brain, which had just woken up from her sleep, felt as if it had been pierced by an ice thorn.
She opened her mouth.
The young girl realized that she couldn’t make a sound.
The fear that seemed to have taken physical form spread from the soles of her feet to every corner of her body through her blood. Liz’s eyelids twitched wildly, and her heart felt like it was about to explode.
After experiencing goosebumps all over her body, Liz was like a drowning person. She finally surfaced and could breathe.
“Father…Father…”
Together with the sound, the sense of smell and touch came back.
Liz realized that she still couldn’t move. It turned out that the soreness she had felt when she had just woken up wasn’t her clothes, but the shackles and ropes that had firmly secured her to the bed.
It turned out that the slippery feeling on her face was not because she had not removed her makeup, but…
Slime.
It was the kind of mucus that would flow down the corners of a man-eating monster’s mouth when it saw its prey waiting to be slaughtered..
