4 Evil eye flower (1/2)
”A-are...”
”...”
Within a minute from leaving his room Richard was facing the greatest crisis of his ghostly life.
With effort Richard calmed his bearings to look at the scene before him a black knight and a sword ready to send his ghostly head flying.
”...”
Just 5 seconds ago which felt like eternity to Richard. He was tracking the intruders silently while looking at the empty guest rooms. When he heard some yells and gasping from one of the doors in front of him until they went totally silent.
Slowly peeking from the side of open door Richard saw slender black knight stabbing her flaming black long sword into what looked like small red goblin on floor.
”Imps huh...”
Oh shit. Richard noticed his mistake as soon as he spoke just in time to see the black sword already resting on his ghostly neck.
*gulp*
”Umm... I'm Richard a ghost... nice to meet you.”
*Swishh...*
With an air cutting move the flaming black sword vanished from Richards neck.
”...”
Without speaking and showing any additional interest in Richard the black knight returned burning the three imps before walking away.
”Umm...”
So cool. Richard looked with longing eyes at the back of black knight as she vanished from his eyes.
Richard didn't find anything but ash remaining from the imps. While silently cleaning Richard had found answer to the mystery of ash piles suddenly appearing in rooms he had cleaned the day before.
” *Ping* You gained achievement! The 3 mystery of Bloody heart manors secrets uncovered ( The mysterious ash piles ) ”
Just kidding. Richard smiled happily while thinking about the black knight just now.
”Oh but what about my experience points...”
As Richard smile turned strained he decided to go ask Sandra about the black knight tomorrow.

”Mmm mm mmm mm...”
While gently humming to an lullaby her mother used to sing to Richard he cleaned from under guest room bed.
”Richard when you are done here can you go inform Ember that this week food has arrived. I need her to verify everything is good.”
Richard looked at the doors behind him and saw maid with dark green bob hair and lightly glowing warm green eyes looking at him with smile. The strange part of the girl was the blackish green plants growing all over her clothes.
”Yes right away.”
”...”
” I mean, yes miss Lilium.”
with satisfied nod Lilium turned away hurrying to other jobs she has to do as an head maid and mistresses direct maid servant. She had a lot of jobs and education of new servants being surely just one of them.
”Haa...”
With big sigh Richard looked at the empty hallway and the candles flaming with blue fire illuminating the unmoving statue of an 3 meter high monster devouring small imps upper torso.
”...”
While Richard looked at the monsters face the stony creatures eyes suddenly turned from the imp in its mouse to Richard.
”Ah!”
Without associating himself further with this statue Richard hurriedly started flying away from the statue while faintly hearing something resembling rumbling laughter from behind him.
