After Lily returned to the Palace of Silver and Tin, she began to confirm what she would bring with her on her trip tomorrow.
She hummed softly and checked her luggage again and again lively.
In fact, compared to Aiwass, Lily is the one who is more excited about the trip. She is really looking forward to this trip.
She has never left the Isle of Glass since she was born - before joining the Moriarty family, she lived in Lloyd's Ward; and then she went to the White Queen.
Even before Aiwass took her to the Palace of Silver and Tin and asked Isabel for an admission spot on her behalf... Lily had not left Moriarty Manor for several years, let alone the White Queen and the Isle of Glass.
It's not that Aiwass didn't give her a day off.
It's because Lily will use her rare vacation to read and enrich herself.
——However, this is not because Lily doesn't like going out.
On the one hand, it's because she doesn't have much free time, and she longs to read; and the reason why she wants to read is because she instinctively doesn't want to spend the rest of her life as an ignorant maid.
From this point of view, it also proves that the insatiable blood of Drost is indeed flowing in Lily's body.
On the other hand... it's because Lily doesn't want to leave Aiwass for too long.
Precisely because she has read a lot of books, she has more knowledge than other servants. Therefore, she knows that most girls who serve as personal maids will not be as lucky as herself.
There are regular holidays, a generous salary, being allowed to read the master's books, and sometimes having meals together when there are no outsiders, and the master he serves is also young, smart, handsome and gentle...
Lily knew she was lucky.
So she didn't want to miss out on this luck.
So even if it's a holiday, she doesn't want to leave Moriarty Manor. What if Aiwass happens to need her for something on the day she's on vacation? What if Aiwass needs her for something on the day she's not at home?
What should I do if something goes wrong? If someone else took care of Aiwass at that time, would he no longer be Aiwass's personal maid when he came back?
After all, in Avalon, the real big shots are generally not worthy of personal maids.
Like the kind of family heirs, they have almost always had valets since childhood.
They are stronger and more powerful, can help carry heavy objects, and can also protect their owners. Growing up together, they are even closer than real brothers. They play together no matter where they go. They can serve as coachmen and bodyguards.
, chef, assistant, secretary... This is more free than a personal maid who needs to maintain beauty and dignity.
At that time, Edward had not yet joined the Inspectorate, so he could still inherit the Moriarty family. Therefore, Mr. James was the male servant for Edward and the maid for Aiwass.
After that, Edward joined the Inspectorate. According to Avalon's rules, after joining the Inspectorate, you can't touch the family business - this is to prevent using power for personal gain. After all, the main job of the Inspectors is to monitor each knight.
family.
In other words.
Lily knew that from that moment on, the first heir to the Moriarty family was Aiwass.
As a male head of the house, he brings a personal maid... According to the book Lily read, this would be laughed at by people of the same level in public social situations in Avalon. This is basically like saying "I haven't grown up yet."
"I'm old and need a maid to take care of me", or admitting that I have no relationship with the opposite sex, and that I don't have a lover who is decent enough and good enough to be recognized by the elders in the family.
There are nearly a hundred knight families in Avalon on the Glass Island alone, and the total number of family heads with maids is just over ten. And the impression they give people is that they are basically gentle and weak types.
——From the moment she learned about this, Lily has been very anxious. She was very afraid that as long as she went out, she would no longer be Master Aiwass's maid when she came back, and she might even be kicked out of Mori.
The Arti family, because they are no longer useful...
If she had just joined the Moriarty family a few years ago, she might have been happy because that meant she was free.
But now she is no longer naive, and has gradually understood many things - she is alone, with no family, no support, where can she go? Is it like what is written in the book, marrying a person she has never met?
Should I be the wife of a businessman or a scholar who I don’t even love?
She doesn't even have parents.
Without parents, it means there is no home.
And Mr. James and Aiwass, who were so kind to her, were her family members. Mr. Edward was always stiff and silent, and Miss Yulia was gentle and kind. They were both kind and good people.
It only takes one time to separate from her family. Lily is always afraid of being left behind again.
That's why Lily never dared to go out for vacation; that's why Lily paid attention to maintaining her beauty and etiquette, thirsting for knowledge, and showing loyalty. The root cause of all these impulses was that she lurked deep in her heart, and even she didn't have any insight into it.
The fear of arriving.
Just like cats and dogs that have been abandoned once, they will become very well-behaved when they are picked up and raised again.
——As long as we can stay together.
Lily was really happy when Aiwass shared the opportunity to step into the extraordinary path.
This means that she will become more useful. It also means that Aiwass also values her and does not regard her as a burden that needs to be replaced and makes him less decent.
Now, Aiwass even takes her with him when traveling...
Does this mean that she has become useful? She will not be abandoned again...
After confirming this, the fear in her heart was diluted. The shadow was like a tea brick brewed by hot water, turning into warm, bright and floral-scented water.
After feeling at ease, she subconsciously began to crave for more.
As Lily packed her luggage, she began to feel the desire in her heart gradually amplified.
I want to monopolize the young master, I want to love him, I want to love him hard.
Want to...eat him. Want to suck his blood, chew his flesh and blood...
As she fantasized in her mind, her pupils gradually turned scarlet. Her breathing gradually became heavier, her heartbeat became more intense, and her heartbeat became so loud that it resounded in her ears.
"……Huh?"
Lily paused suddenly, and her eyes widened slightly in surprise.
Her strength to adapt to the path suddenly calmed her down.
"Why……"
She was surprised that she suddenly started thinking wildly.
At this moment, Lily suddenly felt a slight abnormality coming from the room.
She followed the vague impulse in her heart and walked over.
I discovered that it was the birdcage that the young master had placed on his desk during the day.
There was supposed to be a book inside the birdcage. It was "Morning Crow Tantra" that the young master read a few days ago. When the young master read the book, his clothes were burned off, and his hair grew longer after that.
--but.
Lily's eyes suddenly opened wide, and her heart palpitated for a moment: "The book...is missing?"
I saw that the book in the birdcage disappeared and turned into a big snow-white rabbit.
The rabbit's scarlet eyes stared at her motionlessly, making Lily feel a little uneasy.
But what really worried her was that the young master's tantra book was missing.
"Damn it, how could it be..."
Lily walked over subconsciously, wanting to check if the rabbit had sat the book under her butt.
But when she got close to the rabbit, a hallucination suddenly appeared in front of her eyes——
She saw the birdcage suddenly open and the rabbit jump out.
The world around her instantly turned into a snowy scene - she was no longer in the room, but appeared in the deep snowy night.
The rabbit glanced at her in front, and then ran forward.
"do not run!"
Lily's heart was filled with intense irritation and overwhelming anger, and her rationality disappeared without a trace.
She didn't realize how unusual this snowy night was, but subconsciously chased after her: "Come back quickly!"
