Kelly slowly knelt down and read the words on the tombstone again.

Yes, September 30, 1886, is indeed today.

Could it be that a lady named Irene died today, and a tombstone was immediately erected, and who was the "owner" mentioned on the tombstone, Veronica? The "goddess" refers to the one enshrined in the church

Object?

There is also a problem with this date of birth, August 7, 1864. If this is the case, the deceased had just celebrated his 22nd birthday, but the tombstone said that the cause of his death was old age and he died peacefully.

After experiencing so much, Kelly's first reaction was not to suspect that the epitaph was wrong, but that for some reason, these two mutually exclusive facts happened at the same time.

"Young man, what are you doing here?"

Kelly jumped forward quickly, distanced herself from the owner of the voice, and at the same time turned her body to face the source of the voice.

The old woman who had a close relationship with her was standing behind her, as silently as the last time she appeared.

Kelly asked:

"What are you doing here again?"

The old woman smiled kindly and shook her head:

"I'm not asking you, have you met the master? How do you feel?"

Kelly shut her mouth tightly.

The old woman sighed:

"I know you may be scared, but the master is actually not worth fearing. She is just a pitiful and simple girl."

Kelly asked:

"Are you Ms. Irene, Veronica's most loyal servant?"

Eileen Bertie nodded slightly:

"Scared? You're not a new maid, are you?"

Kelly wanted to explain, but Erin interrupted her.

The old woman coughed lightly:

"There is no need to call me ma'am. Although I may not live much longer than you, the aging and decay of my mind is indisputable. I am indeed an old man."

Kelly asked:

"Can you tell me what happened?"

A trace of sadness appeared in Eileen's eyes:

"Of course you can, but the longer you stay, the less likely you are to escape from here. But even if you succeed in escaping now, the housekeeper will not let you go."

Kelly said:

"Please don't worry about my safety."

Erin nodded, indicating that she understood.

The old woman looked at her tombstone:

"Since you guessed my name, you should also guess that I am dead."

Kelly sighed with difficulty.

Eileen showed a thoughtful look:

"I don't know much. I am an orphan. I have been adopted by the Gawain family since I was a child. I have always been accused of becoming Lord Veronica's maid.

"When I was young, I was still ignorant, so they asked me to play with His Highness."

Kelly noticed that Erin, who was lost in memories, called Veronica "Your Highness" instead of "Master".

"That was probably the happiest time in my life. His Highness and I played hide and seek together and played the game of pretending to be a princess. But interestingly speaking, we didn't expect that at that time, His Highness was actually a princess herself."

Speaking of this, Irene's face was filled with a happy smile, but soon this smile disappeared without a trace.

"But soon, I don't know what happened. It seemed that His Highness passed some kind of test. Her mother no longer appeared in front of His Highness. The Prince no longer smiled and hugged his daughter, but looked at her with cold eyes.

He looked at her as if His Highness was a valuable commodity.

"I also stayed away from His Highness. They arranged for me to live in an empty room. After a while, I returned to His Highness again, but no longer as a childhood friend, but as a childhood friend.

He is a servant who is not allowed to communicate with His Highness.

"I was surprised to find that I was much taller than His Highness. Not only that, Your Highness Veronica looked at me as if I was a stranger.

"Since then, I have gradually realized a terrifying truth, that is, in the eyes of the young lady, I am no longer a good friend of the same age as her, but a caring big sister.

"You should have guessed that I grow up very fast and age very fast.

"In fact, since moving to this prison, the housekeeper has never known where to find a steady stream of servants, and they all age quickly like me, even faster than me. All the dead servants are buried in

Got here.

"But Your Highness Veronica has an extremely kind heart. She is completely unaware of everything. Not only that, she is also prohibited from communicating and contacting anyone. I don't know if Your Highness has the mind to match her age.

"It's better to listen to my advice and fly away as soon as possible. It's best to take the train with your family and leave England tomorrow. Lord Galanti doesn't know what he is doing, but once he returns to the castle, everything here will escape.

Not out of his eyes."

Kelly nodded:

"I will leave as soon as possible."

Eileen said helplessly:

"I hope you can listen. I only know this much. The reasons and truth of all this are impossible for my little maid to get in touch with."

Kelly said sincerely:

"Really appreciate your help."

The girl didn't mention running away.

Erin walked tremblingly to the tombstone:

"Let's do it for the best. I died this morning. I really couldn't let go of His Highness, so I went back and took a few glances. If, I mean if, you really want to change everything and want to save His Highness a little bit.

"Your best choice is to leave here, but if you really don't want to leave so simply, then I implore you to save His Highness.

"This high tower has a basement, but this floor is completely isolated by cement and masonry. Maybe after you escape from here for countless years, you will return here with a real hero when you are confident. Only ghosts can go to that floor.

Enter the underground space and take a look, maybe there is a truth hidden there that can reveal everything."

Kelly replied:

"Maybe I can go take a look now."

Eileen shook her head and said:

"Didn't I say that there is no entrance to the underground space, and it is isolated by a meter of soil..."

Kelly raised her right leg.

When her right leg landed, she had already appeared several meters away, as if Kelly was the ghost lady.

Erin's eyes lit up when she looked at Kelly:

"Are you also a wizard? I beg you to show mercy and save Her Highness Veronica! She should not be treated like this..."

Kelly supported the old man who wanted to kneel down:

"I don't know if I am a wizard, but I will go and find out. If I can, I will definitely take her to escape from this prison, I swear."

The old woman was so happy that she shed tears:

"Thank you, Miss Wizard, no, Lord Wizard."

Kelly supported the old man and said shyly:

"I'm just doing my best."

After calming down the old man, Kelly asked for the detailed address of the underground space.

Erin watched with her own eyes as Kelly ran out of several weird curves and then disappeared into the air.

The old woman looked at the direction where the girl disappeared with expectation and worry, and kept praying for Kelly and Victoria.
