Chapter 43 (1/2)
The agattilins' hallway runs through the garden in the courtyard, with stone pillars carved with shells and mermaids visible in the bright moonlight.
After following the housekeeper to leave the party hall, the surrounding environment became quiet, and only the noise and music in the distant banquet could be heard occasionally.
The young housekeeper walked in front, holding a black iron lantern in his hand. The orange light reflected the road under his feet, and his face was in the shadow of the light.
”It's Miss Lacey's first visit to the agattings' house. In fact, Lord Angus used to stay here a lot. You don't have to be too restrained.”
”Well, it's my first time here. I'll be familiar with it later.”
Looking at the bright full moon in the sky, the girl occasionally scanned the gradually quiet and dark courtyard and asked.
”Is the jerinkda study far from here?”
”It's just around the corner. The master likes to work in a quiet place. I'm sorry to invite you so late.”
He explained naturally, but the pace did not stop.
Lorraine Hill looked at the housekeeper's back, sighed, and continued to follow.
Dong Dong——
The door of the dark red lacquer wood was knocked, and the light scattered in the room could be seen from the crack of the door.
”Come in, please.”
Squeak——
As the door opens, you can see a middle-aged man sitting in front of his desk. There is a small table and sofa in the room. There is a small night light, snacks and fruit on the small table. There are also a few candle lights on the walls of the room, which reflect the light in the room.
”Miss Lacey, please have a seat.”
Jack got up from his seat and invited Lorraine hill to sit on the sofa next to the small table. Then he sat on the sofa opposite.
Then Owen, the housekeeper, brought two more drinks and put them on the small table. He stepped back from the room and closed the door.
”Miss Lacey, maybe it's strange to call her that. I prefer to call her niece, because Angus and I have been good friends for many years, just like brothers.”
”It doesn't matter. You are my father's good friend. It doesn't matter if you call me that.” Lorraine hill, Lacey, holding the drink in her hand, replied.
”I'm very sad about your father's sudden death, and I have a lot of questions.”
”I know it's rude, but as a good friend of his life, I really want to know the process of the attack at that time.”
”But you can ask.”
”Where was Lacey's niece attacked?”
”It's on the west wind's way to Vilga...” and then lorenthal restored the process of the attack according to what he saw at that time.
”So, before he died, did he transfer all his property to you?”
”Yes.”
”Was there anyone else present?”
”The housekeeper, seres, and the maid chief, Chelsea, were also present The girl looked at the slightly red fruit wine in her hand and answered slowly.
”In this way, Chelsea are also present...” the middle-aged man's expression seems to be some sigh and sigh.
”Uncle jellink, you seem to have a lot of puzzles.”
He took the fruit wine before he got up, drank it, and then said.
”Yes, I don't understand. Chelsea betrayed Angus With that, the glass in his hand fell down and smashed with a bang.
The door of the room was violently opened, and a dozen guards in robes and armor rushed in, armed with long guns and crossbows, encircling Lorraine hill.
More than ten sharp spears were aimed at the girl in the blue skirt, and the blade of the spear reflected the cold light in the candlelight. Six crossbowmen stood behind jerinke and raised the crossbow to aim at the girl with a dreamy face. There was magic on the black matte crossbow, but it didn't start.
