Chapter 417: We must establish a good relationship with the red-eyed dwarf After Ranran opened his mouth to test the water, the distinguished owner of the castle, Count Armand, did not show any change on his handsome face, not even the curve of his mouth corners changed at the old servant knew that he was angry. The old servant's keenness was well-known far and wide, otherwise Armand, who loved beautiful things, would not have endured the visual discomfort and taken him in as a servant. Armand said calmly, "Don't you think it's funny that she mistook you for me?" The old servant bent down in panic, and the twisting blocks of color disappeared from Ranran's sight. Time goes back to one minute ago. Ranran was shocked when she heard about the side quest. She opened her eyes wide. At that time, a cold wind was rising, and clusters of roses were trembling in the wind, looking delicate and pitiful. Armand, who observed all this, thought that Elizabeth felt cold, so he asked the old servant to push her back to her room. Unexpectedly, Ranran opened his mouth to test her. In Armand's opinion, it was very stupid for Ranran to mistake the ugly old servant Afu for himself. After all, even if you lose most of your vision, you can always recognize a person's height. The old servant was hunched over, and even when he was standing, he was only the same height as Elizabeth who was sitting in a wheelchair, and Armand... Because of his tall stature, Elizabeth could not see him. She could only see his waist, which was tightly wrapped in the black suit, and his hands.
No matter how beautiful something is, once it is associated with stupidity, it no longer appears beautiful. In order to avoid venting his anger on others, the old servant spoke in a sincere voice. "Please forgive poor Miss Elizabeth, Master. Not only has she lost her eyesight, but she has also not had much contact with you. You are a strange presence to her in the castle." "I think that even if she regains her sight, she won't be able to recognize your face, not to mention that she looks so miserable now." Armand looked at Ranran's confused face and sneered, "A strange existence... Wasn't she the one who begged me so hard back then? Now I am a stranger to her?" The old servant prostrated himself on the ground, "Please calm down, my master." "Miss Elizabeth's home has been burned down in the fire. Although life in the castle is good, it is not a place that makes her feel at ease." "She is like a flower plucked from a branch. Even if you take her home, put her in a vase, give her enough sunlight and rain, and take good care of her, she will wither day by day." The old servant seemed to sigh, "Miss Elizabeth is so pitiful." Armand was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Afu, you seem to be talking a lot today." The old servant blinked his confused red eyes. If his master had not suddenly become interested in speaking, he would never have said these things. The master was usually taciturn, and it was very rare for him to be so interested in a person or a thing as he was today, which made him excited. He would go fly a few laps in the woods at night. Armand: "Are you on good terms with her? Why are you speaking for her?" The old servant said truthfully: "Compared to the master's friends, Miss Elizabeth is really an easy-going person. Apart from needing to be alone often so that she can cry better, she has never made more demands on the servants in the castle." "May the flower-eater protect her." Armand laughed in an ambiguous tone. "Speaking of Melris and the others, how are the preparations for the dinner going?" Old servant: "Eve has always been trustworthy in preparing banquets. I believe nothing will go wrong." "That's good."
Armand took a last look at Ranran, and the feeling of being abandoned by the whole world appeared on her face again, and the itchy feeling on her fingertips became more and more intense. How long had it been since he last felt this way? Five hundred years ago? When he first saw puppies in the human world? The clumsy appearance of the puppy and the constant "weeping" sounds it made as if it was treated extremely unfairly surprised Armand, who had not yet grown up at the time. It turns out that there are such creatures in the world that can evoke his emotions effortlessly. At that time, he did not understand the meaning of cute and pitiful. Just like him now, he only felt his fingers itchy, as if he wanted to pinch something hard; at the same time, his heart itched, as if he wanted to destroy something completely! Armand twisted the bone ring on his pale and slender index finger expressionlessly. This was his subconscious habit when he was lost in thought. "The wind is strong. Send Elizabeth back." The old servant responded in a low voice, and there was no more sound in the cold wind, only the dark red roses swaying helplessly on the branches. Ranran didn't get any feedback after she opened her mouth to test the water. Only the color blocks in her vision were changing regularly. Ranran guessed that she should be moving. The flames of the fire swept through Elizabeth's lower body. She not only lost the sense of touch below the waist, but also the ability to move. So now she is sitting in a wheelchair and someone is pushing her from behind. "Where are you going?" Ran Ran opened her mouth again to test the waters. Her current situation was too passive and only by taking the initiative could she change the status quo. When she spoke, she did not forget her character, a helpless and sickly person. No matter what she said, she was weak and timid without any confidence. Soon, the color blocks in front of Ranran stopped changing, and the person behind her stopped. What followed was a sea of black that entered her field of vision, and at her eye level, two spots of scarlet were flashing. Is this... a person? A dwarf with red eyes and dressed in black? The red-eyed dwarf took off his black gloves, revealing his pale skin, and began to gesture with his thin fingers very close to her eyes. Only in this way could Elizabeth barely see some details. Ran Ran opened her eyes wide and tried to identify him. She vaguely saw that the man put his hands together and then slowly fell to one side... Then the man leaned his head with two red eyes on the back of his hands. Sleep? Rest? Ran Ran asked uncertainly, "Are we going to the room?" The red-eyed dwarf gave Ranran a thumbs up, and his cool fingertips almost touched her cheek. Ran Ran began to wonder, is this person in front of her really a human? He clearly has no human body temperature at all, just like a corpse... Ran Ran was immediately confused by the background of the Flower Eater's Cave. In Shen Dinghai's words... Where did this get her to? No matter what, the most urgent task is to complete side quest 1 as soon as possible to restore hearing. This reward is quite exciting to Ranran. After all, no one would be on guard against a deaf person when talking. As long as she works hard, she will be able to obtain a lot of information, and then the passive situation will be easily resolved. Although the old servant and Armand were wearing gloves of completely different shapes, in Ranran's eyes they were both the same black block. Thus, an unpleasant misunderstanding arose. Ranran successfully confused Ah Fu, the castle's butler with red eyes and a hunched body who pushed her back to the room, with Count Armand, the tall, handsome and respected owner of the castle who had wiped her tears before. Ranran was thinking: The red-eyed dwarf is quite friendly. He doesn't mind that she can't hear or see. Instead, he takes good care of her, a disabled person.
He was the first person she met in the castle, assuming he was actually a human being. She must establish a good relationship with this red-eyed dwarf...
