Next, Shade and Oxenfurt did not act together with Prince William. The prince's purpose of coming to attend this lively banquet had been achieved, so he left early on the pretext of attending an important meeting tomorrow.
Shade watched as Oxenfurt and the groom, Mr. Enriquez, put the royal heir into the carriage at the gate of the manor. Then the two parted ways with the groom, Mr. Henriquez, and the burly man motioned to Shade to follow him.
Entering the interior of the building along the stone path on the central axis of the courtyard, in the banquet hall on the second floor, I happened to see the bride, Miss Mason, or Mrs. Enriquez, walking from the side door of the banquet hall to the remote corridor of the mansion.
"Follow her."
Stone Oxenfurt said, as if he knew this lady was here.
At this time, most of the guests were outside. There were only a few people in the banquet hall, and the corridor was even deserted. Both Shade and Oxenfurt slowed down, and then heard the bride on the other side of the corner of the corridor.
Miss Mason seemed to be talking to someone, and she was a little excited:
"I'm married! Yes, today is the wedding!"
Just by saying this, Shade had already thought of many stories, but he didn't think that Oxenfurt specifically asked him to come with him just to see this kind of thing.
The two of them peeked out from around the corner and glanced, and Shade raised his eyebrows. The person talking to Miss Mason was not a human being at all, but a transparent spirit body. He looked like a young man in his twenties, tall and tall.
Similar to Shade, but a little thinner.
The color of the spirit body is normal, and it is not very strong in terms of solidification. It is only because of obsession and strong emotions that it does not leave after death.
[There is some kind of malicious power in the soul, but it is too far away to be determined.]
"She" reminded softly.
Normal souls cannot be seen by normal people. But since the bride can see it, it means that this soul has a lot to do with her.
"Is this the soul you want me to see?"
Shade asked quietly to Stone Oxenfurt, but Miss Mason, who was so excited, didn't even notice that there was someone in the corner.
Sure enough, Stone Oxenfurt can also see the soul. This is not a very special ability. An ordinary person, Princess Agelina Cavendish, can also see some souls now. Otherwise, there have been so many ghost rumors from ancient times to the present.
, it all becomes false.
"Since I came to this manor, I have discovered that this soul is haunting Maggie Mason. There will be a good show."
Oxenfurt said, while the conversation on the other side continued.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
Miss Mason's tone was already a bit hysterical. Unfortunately, the communication between the soul and her was not through vibrating air to form sound, so Shade didn't know what the man's soul was expressing.
"I can't possibly let you do this. I'm already married. Yes, today is my wedding. And you are already dead. Leave. I'm sorry, but it's really impossible."
Miss Mason was still arguing fiercely. This lady's appearance was already very good, and today's bridal outfit made her the most beautiful woman present, but her excited expression at this time made her makeup look extraordinarily beautiful.
strangeness.
The soul ignored her, turned around and moved towards the wall, then passed directly through the wall to the courtyard of the manor.
"Oh, God!"
The bride, Miss Mason, immediately caught up with her skirt. Of course she couldn't go through the wall, nor could she climb through the window wearing her skirt at her wedding. So she ran to the other side of the corridor, trying to enter the garden directly from the back door of the house.
.
Shade and Oxenfurt also followed. Miss Mason's luck was pretty good. Although her panicked behavior of running into the courtyard made the guests a little confused, she still quickly found the man's soul.
At this time, the spirit is approaching the groom, Mr. Henriquez, who is talking to the guests, but the latter has no reaction to the appearance of the undead.
The soul, which was not powerful but definitely not weak, looked at him quietly, while Miss Mason was entangled by a group of ladies who suddenly appeared and could not get close for the time being.
Suddenly, an old lady holding a white-haired poodle passed by, so Soul walked towards the dog, and then suddenly made a threatening look.
"Woof woof woof!"
The barking was not loud, but the dog's eyes were a little red. It broke free from the rope around its neck, jumped onto the table nearby, opened its mouth and bit the groom's neck.
But fortunately, the dog was just a puppy. Although everyone was startled, Mr. Henriquez still ducked down to avoid the attack. Then the servants hurriedly subdued the crazy puppy and temporarily calmed it down.
Small commotion.
The bride, Miss Mason, was already in a hurry. She squeezed out from the surrounding ladies and walked quickly towards her husband. At this time, the soul floated to the side of the ladder. The servant on the ladder was trimming the tangle hanging on the tree.
Colorful ribbons together.
The spirit made a push gesture, and two seconds later, the ladder fell towards the groom without any warning. Amid people's panicked screams, the five or six friends around the groom not only did not run away, but helped hold the ladder together.
.
With so many people sharing the pressure, no one was injured. It was just that the servant who was on the ladder was so frightened that he apologized to the manor owner repeatedly, and the groom was generous enough not to care about his mistake, but instead cared about whether he was injured.
Miss Mason finally came over at this time, and when she and her husband stood together, the undead did not attack again, otherwise Miss Mason might be accidentally injured.
But despite this, the undead itself has still undergone some changes. Its own malice will make the soul show different states, and it has tried to hurt people many times, giving the originally normal spirit a touch of strange green color. This is
It is a typical precursor to evil spirit transformation, and once this process is started, it is basically irreversible.
However, this sign of becoming an evil spirit also allowed Shade to see something more. This soul had already been contaminated, and his degeneration was inevitable.
Of all the people present, except for Shade and Stone Oxenfurt, only the bride, Miss Mason, could see the strange changes in the soul. She did not have Shade's knowledge, but at least she could feel that something was wrong. The exquisite makeup showed
Seeing the panic on her face, she nervously grabbed her husband's arm, and then excused herself to feel unwell, and returned to the mansion with the groom.
As for the soul, of course it still follows them.
"Is this what you asked me to see?"
Shade and Stone Oxenfurt stood in the crowd, watching the two men and one ghost leave along the garden path. Oxenfurt asked Shade:
"Would you like to make a bet with me on what the ending of this story will be?"
Shade shook his head:
"You said it yourself, you can always win. Although I have defeated you three times, I don't want to take the risk of increasing my losses by betting again. Besides, what I hate most is gambling."
Thinking of Shade's superb Rhodes card skills and superb card shuffling techniques, Oxenfurt showed a sarcastic smile on his face, but at least he did not laugh out loud:
"I think you should know the illusion of invisibility, so please cast the illusion for us."
The groom, Mr. Henriquez, helped his wife, who claimed to be dizzy, back to the mansion. He met many guests who greeted and congratulated them on the way, but he did not stop and sent his wife directly back to the master bedroom on the third floor.
In order to celebrate the wedding, this room was also decorated. Although the manor has been old, the entire room has been renovated, and a photo of the two of them was placed on the bedside table.
Miss Mason was helped to bed, and Mr. Enriquez asked the servants to bring hot tea. But there must be a host present at this banquet, so he still thought about going downstairs to entertain the guests. But he knew that there was an unknown person at the moment.
Miss Mason, who was staring at Mr. Enriquez with a kind soul, did not dare to let her husband leave alone at this time, so she covered her forehead and said with a slight panic:
"Can you stay with me for a while? I'm still a little dizzy."
"Of course. Is the cold wind tonight too biting? Oh, it's all my fault. I shouldn't insist on opening outdoor venues."
Mr. Henriquez said with concern and sat beside the bed. The servants retreated after seeing this. Of course, the room that seemed to only have two people was actually occupied by four people and a ghost, Shade and Mr. Oxenfurt.
He had already entered the door and was standing at the door looking at them.
The couple, who were completely unaware of this, held each other's hands, and Mr. Enriquez showed a soft smile:
"We finally got married. After so many things, we finally came to this day. We will go a long way together in the future."
He kissed his wife on the forehead, which made Miss Mason even more nervous. The wandering undead became more and more restless because of Henriquez's actions.
Miss Mason obviously wanted to remind her husband not to do such intimate things now, but she didn't know how to say it. Enriquez obviously misunderstood his wife's meaning, so he hugged her gently and tried to change her.
Further kissing, then pushed away by an even more panicked Miss Mason:
"Oh, sorry, I'm not feeling well."
She lowered her head as she spoke, but Mr. Henriquez didn't care. Instead, he took the initiative to express his apology. He asked Miss Mason to lie down on the bed, then held her hand, and began to think about life after marriage:
"We will live in this manor for many years in the future. Maybe after the wedding, we will need to completely renovate the house."
"Just do what you want."
Miss Mason watched the undead nervously from the corner of her eye.
"Especially the other rooms on the third floor. When we have children in the future, we will need to prepare separate baby rooms and mother-infant rooms. Oh, and there is also a smoking room. If you have children, you can't smoke casually in the house."
Mr. Enriquez seems to have already seen those bright futures:
"How many nurseries should we decorate first? Maggie, I plan to have two children, preferably a boy and a girl. Of course, we can't force this. God will bless us according to our destiny. What about you? How many do you like?
A child?”
The undead was becoming more and more unstable because of these words. Miss Mason swallowed and grabbed the quilt with white-knuckles. It seemed that she was looking at the curtain of the four-poster bed that was shaking for some reason, but in fact she was watching the undead take another step.
The change:
"I have a headache and I don't want to discuss these issues now."
"Sorry, sorry, I forgot again. During the wedding in the afternoon, I promised to take care of you for the rest of my life."
Mr. Henriquez said kindly, looking at his wife with tender eyes.
