[Sara nodded hesitantly, with a worried look on her face. She didn’t think her father would generously agree to her interacting with ordinary people—this can be seen from the fact that he asked the servants to follow them secretly today. Fortunately, these servants chose to help
Own.】
[Reluctantly saying goodbye to Adam, Sara and the servants quickly returned to the manor. "I'm going to see my father. You guys go back to the room and wait for me. And... thank you for your willingness to keep my secret. I will tell my father that I am here."
The room is too stuffy. Let’s go out for a walk.” Sarah thanked the servants and walked into the mansion with a few glances.]
[The servants stayed in the garden. The maid Irene breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at the servant Lu Li who was trying to excuse her. "Why...why do you want to help me?"]
"Why do you want to help me?" The baron's tone of voice was more personal.
The consequences of Lu Li's change in the plot began to emerge, and the question itself was a bit chilling upon reflection - it was weird, as if an evil spirit was asking questions through the Baron's mouth.
"Because I like you."
A cold and malicious aura seeped out from the void. Several exorcists sensed it in an instant and looked for the source vigilantly.
Petra looked at Lu Li thoughtfully.
["Because I like you." The servant Lu Li said softly. The maid Irene, who was unable to respond, stood blankly on the spot. She suddenly remembered that Lu Li had shown kindness to her several times and the secret gaze she felt while cleaning the room. Was it him?
...]
["Don't you blame me? I betrayed the eldest lady." Maid Irene lowered her head, her tone full of guilt. ]
The baron came to his senses and said according to the script: "Don't you blame me? I betrayed the eldest lady."
After waiting for a few seconds, the obscure ancient voice did not sound. Lu Li automatically answered: "No, if you want to blame it, Sarah will blame you."
The exorcists who searched for the aura to no avail were stunned. This answer was a bit too straightforward...
["Thank you, I..." The maid Irene, who was in a state of confusion, didn't know how to face the love of the servant Lu Li. She bowed deeply to the servant Lu Li and quickly ran into the mansion. 】
The baron did as he was told, but stumbled a bit when he stepped up the steps, and ran behind the door in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
The obscure ancient voice stopped ringing as the Baron left. It may have followed her, or the plot may have moved to "Sarah".
"What a bold move." David tiptoed and patted Lu Li on the shoulder and said with a smile. "I don't dare to take the initiative to...get its attention. Who knows what will happen."
Although the evil spirits no longer pay attention here, special words and behaviors will still attract the attention of the evil spirits, just like the scene where the evil spirits came on the night of the assessment.
"It will be very bad if the Baron's situation is not changed." Lu Li replied.
The fate of a baron who has betrayed his master and is just a maid can be imagined.
It was just morning, and Lu Li and others returned to the Baron's bedroom to wait.
The Baron was already in the room. He looked at Lu Li and moved away unnaturally, looking a bit like "Maid Irene".
After a while, "Sarah" returned to the bedroom, with palm prints on her face - this was not what the obscure ancient voice said, but what they "perceived".
This scene was difficult to explain with their common sense, but when Sara returned to the room, Lu Li and others suddenly realized when they looked at her: Sara had a slap mark on her face.
Lu Li once experienced a similar scene. When he returned to the ship where the dead souls were transported, he saw "all kinds of colors of darkness".
Next, the plot is narrated, metaphorically revealing to the "audience" what "Sarah" experienced at her father's place.
The palm prints on "Sarah's" face were not due to secretly going out, and the only people who knew about Adam were only a few servants. The reason for the injuries on her face was that she resisted the marriage arranged by "Viscount".
Marriage is a common thing among nobles. Sarah was arranged by her father to be betrothed to the heir of a big shot Earl a long time ago. Sarah knew about this, but she couldn't change anything. Although aristocratic families can have enough food and clothing,
But it’s hard to have true freedom——
Until Sarah met Adam during an outing, and the exchange of letters with this sunny boy made her know how colorful the world is. She has always been a bird imprisoned in a cage. She began to be unwilling to accept all this and resisted being arranged.
I want to break free from the constraints of my life.
If you temporarily ignore the name of the story and the dominance of the evil spirit, and just think about the story itself, this is just a very common love story in which a nobleman falls in love with a commoner.
Rather than saying that "Sarah" likes Adam, it is better to say that she likes the "freedom" that Adam symbolizes.
It can be expected from the following story that the relationship between "Sarah" and "Adam" was blocked by the Viscount. This obstruction just inspired Sarah to rebel and desperately want to be with Adam.
The only question is whether The Evil Dead intends to tell such a story.
The betrayal of "Maid Irene" was not known to "Sarah", and her attitude towards "Maid Irene" was still as a good friend as before. She also had more trust in Lu Li and others because of their confidentiality.
[The maid Irene distressedly applied a towel wrapped in ice cubes to the eldest lady's face, but Sara seemed not to care about the pain in her cheeks. She opened the jewelry box and grabbed the valuable jewelry, as if she didn't care.
stuffed into the hands of the maid Irene. "Irene, help me send these jewelry to Adam, let him sell them and prepare an expensive gift!"]
[The maid Irene did not understand Sarah's decision. She asked aloud, but received a wry smile from the eldest lady: "I want to leave the birdcage and have a look." Under Sarah's urging, the maid Irene left the bedroom, hesitated, and
She walked towards the head of the family's room.】
The baron walked out of the bedroom holding a pile of black outlines with the outlines of jewelry visible - these were originally her jewelry, but the moment "Sarah" touched them, these things were assimilated into the story.
[She doesn’t want to see the eldest lady sink like this anymore. How can that poor boy compare to the earl’s heir? No matter in terms of status or cultivation... The more the maid Irene thinks about it, the more she can’t understand it. But when she saw the owner of the house,
When she opened the door, a figure suddenly blocked her.】
[It was the servant Lu Li. The maid Irene looked at him in surprise, panic flashed across her eyes, and her eyes evaded: "Why are you blocking me?"]
The three exorcists in the bedroom looked at Lu Li at the same time.
Without saying a word, Lu Li turned around and rushed out of the room, chasing the baron.
["You'd better not do this." Servant Lu Li looked at her calmly, shook his head and said. 】
The dull sound of running on the blanket reached his ears. The baron turned around and saw a black line appearing above his head and a black mist descending. Lu Li ran in front of him, panting slightly and spoke.
