Star Maid System

Chapter 492 Basement

Although she figured it out, Anna was still a little depressed.After all, it is still a bit unacceptable to fail the strategy.

When Anna returned to the manor, Yves and Dolin were waiting at the door, and seeing their dignified expressions, Anna couldn't help but shudder.

"Brother Yves, brother Dorling..."

Anna cried out with some difficulty, feeling a little guilty in her heart.

Seeing Anna's uneasy look, Yves couldn't help softening his expression.

"Anna, don't be so naughty in the future."

"Yeah, what if we run around like this and get eaten by wolves!" Dolin said sarcastically.

Anna ignored Dorin's sarcasm, nodded to Ive, and said obediently:
"I know Brother Yves!" Anna was quite moved, but fortunately Yves is still normal so far.

"I heard that you met a wolf in the woods?" Eve took Anna into the house and asked worriedly as he walked.

Anna nodded, and said, "I rode Angelia and ran by the river, and when I got to the waterfall, the wolf chased it out..." Anna said, shivering with fear, and couldn't help pulling Grabbing Ive's clothes, he said, "Brother Yves, why are there wolves in the woods? It's too scary!" Anna asked knowingly, the appearance of the wolf must have something to do with Dolin, but she pretended not to know Well, Dorin will definitely not tell Eve about the fact that he used wolves to scare her, so there is nothing wrong with her asking this question.

Dolin glared at Anna viciously from a position where Eve couldn't see, but Anna ignored him directly.

"Anna is not afraid. I will have someone clean up the woods. Don't go in the woods anytime soon, you know?" Ive was a little worried, but he did not forget to comfort Anna.

"Yes, I see." Anna nodded again.

After asking the private doctor to examine Anna, and seeing that Anna was not seriously injured, Yves let Anna go.Anna's dinner was settled in her room, and Claude, who was in charge of taking care of her, remained expressionless throughout.

Anna had long been used to his expressionless face, but seeing that he was so indifferent to her being chased by wolves, she couldn't help but feel even more unhappy.

She was angry and didn't talk to Claude, but Claude didn't seem to notice it, and he was still doing his own work in peace, without being affected at all, and Anna couldn't help but feel even more depressed.

"Today, you are not allowed to sleep in my room." Anna said very coldly after sleeping on her own bed.She tried her best to suppress her anger, so that there was no ups and downs in her tone.

"Yes, Miss Anna." Claude agreed readily, as if he didn't feel anything wrong.

Anna was even angrier.

Claude went out as she wished, but Anna was not happy at all. She tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, and even felt a little tight in the chest and short of breath.

"Claude!"

After being angry for a long time on the bed, Anna finally called out to Claude, but she didn't get a response from Claude.

Anna: "..."

Could it be that Claude has fallen asleep?
Anna was angry, but it was good for him to fall asleep so quickly. It was too much for her to be alone on the bed and unable to fall asleep!
Anna lifted the bed angrily, jumped off the bed, and directly opened the door leading to the entrance.

However, after opening the door, she did not see Claude who was supposed to be sleeping in the hallway...

Claude is not here!
Anna couldn't help feeling flustered, where would Claude go?

Anna immediately slapped her head, how could she forget that Dorin has been trying to find trouble with Claude, and this happened again today, she shouldn't let Claude leave her room.Anna thought, becoming more and more annoyed.In a hurry, she ran out in her pajamas.

She is still very familiar with the structure of this manor. She suspected that there was a secret passage leading to the outside world in the manor. She explored everywhere in her spare time. She knew that there was a prison in the basement of the manor that had not been completely abandoned. When exploring the basement, she was caught by Claude after only taking a peek, but she saw what was there with just one glance.In one cell, a man dressed as a servant was hung by iron chains, covered in blood... If the servant who made a mistake was to be punished, it could only be in that basement.

Anna hasn't dared to go near there since that basement adventure.At the thought of going over now, she couldn't help shivering.She hurried back to her room and put on a cloak for herself, then tremblingly walked to the basement with a portable lamp.

The manor was very quiet at night, only Anna was walking in the corridor, and the shadow behind her was drawn long by the light, like dragging the shadow of an evil ghost.Anna didn't dare to look back at all, but she couldn't help trembling as she walked forward.

"Not afraid, not afraid, it's just a basement, and there are no ghosts in it, so what are you afraid of, not afraid, not afraid!"

Anna silently pumped herself up in her heart, and finally walked to the entrance of the basement.

However, the basement was also very quiet, and Anna didn't hear any movement from below.

Anna couldn't help hesitating a bit. Could it be that she guessed wrong, Claude was not captured and punished by Dorin, but instead found a place for drinking?

This possibility does not seem impossible, but Claude is so dedicated and rigid, it seems impossible for this to happen to him.

After a little hesitation, Anna opened the door leading to the basement.

The door was not locked, and Anna pushed it open easily.After the door opened, a stone staircase spiraling downward appeared. Dim small lights were lit on both sides of the stone staircase, illuminating the stone staircase even more deeply.

Anna had already been here once, knowing that there would be no danger on the stone stairs, so she went straight down.

And the closer you get to the underground prison, the brighter the lights become.

Anna's steps were very light, for fear of being heard by the people below, if there were really people below.

When she reached the bottom of the stone stairs, Anna hid behind the wall and peeked in, but she didn't see anyone there.

This cell was a little different from the first time she saw it, it seemed to have been tidied up, and the attendant who was hung last time seemed to have left long ago.

Just when Anna was about to leave, she suddenly heard a cough.

Anna froze, it seems that there are still people down there!
Anna was a little scared. She couldn't tell if it belonged to Claude just by the sound of coughing, but she didn't rule out the possibility. Anna hesitated for a while, but decided to go inside to have a look.

Anna took a deep breath, and then was choked by the turbid air in the prison. She tried her best not to cough, but almost choked back tears.
