For Rosalía Nino Renteria, until this moment, she had no idea how it all happened.
Before this night, she was only 19 years old and was called the most beautiful woman in Quinn. At the same time, she was the youngest daughter of the head of the Renteria family and the most shining pearl of the entire family, at least among those who did not think that aristocratic blood was such.
The necessary conditions for judgment appear to be this.
From the time she can remember, her world has been filled with beautiful gardens, luxurious palaces, exquisite food, different clothes every day, grand balls and the adulation of men and women surrounding her.
She never knew what hard work was, nor what pain was.
Therefore, she has always believed that the world is like this, and the people living outside the high walls generally live like this.
If nothing unexpected happens, she will have a husband with a respected status and noble bloodline in the future, and she will continue to live as she does now, giving birth to one or two children, and then take care of them and grow up to become a qualified noble.
But all this was torn to pieces on this night after the heavy rain.
Where did it all begin?
She couldn't seem to remember clearly. Her memory was still about the warm quilt and the soft big bed. However, now she was tightly held by her head maid, wearing a thin white nightgown and running with bare feet.
In the dark corridor.
On both sides of the corridor are the half-length portraits of the family's ancestors. I don't know why, but these portraits, which were so familiar in the past and could even call out each person's name, seem to be grinning ferociously at this moment.
"Miss! Hurry up! This way!"
Rosalia almost lost the ability to think, and just let the maid Kaia lead her away.
Kaia has been with Rosalia since she was a child, serving and protecting her. It can be said that she is the closest and most trusted person besides her parents. Moreover, she is not only very skilled, but also very good at tea and cooking. She is often beaten by Rosalia.
Call it the Almighty Maid.
At this time, Kaia, who was very agile, was not hindered by the maid's dress at all. She almost dragged Rosalia, who was in a daze, around several forks in a row. The servants who should have been everywhere were nowhere to be seen. They could only occasionally be seen.
Blood splatters were seen on the wall.
After running a few hundred meters more, Kaia stopped and looked at a door behind her glasses, then pushed it open and took Rosalia in.
She knows all the secret escape routes, but the enemy is very scary, so she must choose the safest one.
This is a storage room filled with sundries and even a slightly damaged double bed.
Because there was no light, Kaia could only fumble forward with Rosalía. She relied on her memory to reach the broken double bed. The secret door was on the wall opposite the bed. As long as she entered there, she could take the elevator.
Arriving at a secret vehicle parking spot, she can take Rosalia away.
But Renteria is destined to be doomed. She knows what those enemies are. They are forces that mortals cannot resist. The only thing she can do is to keep Rosalia.
After so many years of getting along, the relationship between her and Rosalia has become almost like a family member. Even if Rosalia is no longer a young lady, she will take care of her for the rest of her life. This is her promise to Rosalia's late mother.
oath.
"Miss, we will be safe soon."
Kaia whispered something, but received no response from Rosalia, and the little hand in her palm was so cold at this time, so she could only sigh softly.
She knew that such an impact was too strong for a hothouse flower like Rosalia, but everything had already happened, and she hoped that Rosalia could get out of such a shadow in the future.
Suddenly, Kaia, who was fumbling for the secret door trigger, seemed to hear something, her face suddenly turned aside, and then she quickly dragged Rosalia under the double bed.
At this time, Rosalia is still almost in a state of fugue——
Where did it all begin?
Then, she remembered.
The whole palace seemed to be shaking, and then everything was shrouded in darkness.
She was woken up from the bed in a panic by the maids, and walked through the halls and corridors before realizing she was awake. Then she heard the frightened screams of the servants and the gunshots and screams of the guards.
She suddenly woke up and immediately went to find her family, her father, her brother, her aunt...
In the chaos, she finally reunited with her panicked relatives, but her father immediately asked someone to escort her to a secret escape tunnel. At this time, she did not even understand what happened.
Just when she asked her father what happened, she heard the deep voice——
Scream, we are coming for you
Her eldest brother, who was also the heir to the family, was the first to react and pulled out his pistol, but in the next second he was dragged into the darkness by something terrifying.
After that, her only memories were of screams, blood and chaos, all echoing in the cold, blank, blood-stained red marble palace.
But at this moment, that deep voice awakened her memory again,
"Where are you, beautiful little girl?"
The creaking sound of the door being slowly pushed open was like a devil's weird laugh, so sharp it seemed like it could cut Rosalia's ears.
The girl began to sob in extreme panic, and Kaia immediately covered her mouth with her hands, reducing the sound to imperceptible moans and whimpering.
"Your father is looking for you, little girl~"
The other party's footsteps were approaching step by step, and the whisper was almost a whisper. Rosalia clenched her little hands and blocked her ears, desperate to make the sound disappear, desperate to prevent the lightning-clad killer from hearing it.
But those words still came through, seeming to echo in her skull.
"If you are too naughty, I will get angry——"
Suddenly, the sound stopped, and then the footsteps slowly faded away, and the other party seemed to have left.
But Kaia didn’t dare to be careless at all, because that was not an ordinary person, it was the Emperor’s Angel of Death. As for why the family provoked such a trial, Kaia actually had some guesses. She didn’t do what Renteria did.
Completely ignorant, but the style of these death angels is too terrifying.
After waiting with bated breath for a long time, until the door closed again, she breathed a sigh of relief, put down her hand covering Rosalia's mouth, and whispered:
"Sorry, miss, it was an emergency just now. If you are discovered -"
The next second, the entire double bed was violently opened.
"Oh~"
Amid the weird laughter, the two girls raised their heads in horror.
It was a giant woven from the darkness, wearing armor painted in midnight blue with some silver-gray stripes on it. The front of the helmet was shaped into a beast-like shape similar to a short wolf, and the goggles shot out a beam.
There was a dark red light, and the golden Death Angel badge decorated in front of the huge breastplate was engraved with faint lightning patterns, which was a little cruel in the sacredness. At the same time, there was a red flower as bright as blood in his left hand.
