nameless country

The male servant also left, and there were only a dozen people eating, and everyone put down their knives and forks in unison.

Silence, candles flickering.In the castle during the day, the curtains block all the light outside.

The mayor's daughter, Sybil, knocked on the table, and then walked up to William, "Why does Lord Viscount know you?" At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to William.

William was still sitting on the chair, "I met in the forest once when I was lost." After speaking, he looked at Sybil.

"Then what happened yesterday, why were you the last one down?" Sibil continued, a little aggressively.

"How could William know." Howard, the sunny and handsome young man who first took the girl to dance, interjected, "I think we should discuss where the others have gone."

"Who would have dreamed of those people? I will be the eighth bride of the Viscount. Maybe the Viscount didn't bring those people to the castle." Sibil walked back to her seat, her skirt fluttered up and down her waist, and her high-heeled shoes Also lift it up and put it down again.

"Then how do we meet Lord Viscount?" Howard fiddled with his watch, "Let's talk about your thoughts."

"I think Lord Viscount will summon us, just wait with peace of mind." A somewhat timid girl who was holding the corner of her skirt raised her head slightly and looked at Howard.

"You're right." Howard smiled at her, "It's very possible."

The girl blushed slightly, and clenched her skirt even tighter.

"I think we can get the valet to tell us something else—by whatever means," said a thin boy with gold-rimmed spectacles. "We can start here."

"Great, William, tell me your opinion." Howard turned his head to William.

William was about to answer when a voice suddenly shrilled

"Howard, don't put on your high-spirited look, as if all of us should listen to you." Sybil knocked on the table. "Who doesn't know how your family's status came about?", "Ah, do you want to show off your power here?"

"We are discussing the issue, Miss Sybil, and you can also ask for your opinion." Howard slowly raised his head.

"Keep your great opinions. I don't believe you have any good intentions. You should think about yourself." After speaking, Sibil turned her head upstairs and returned to her room.

The lunch broke up unhappy, and after Miss Sybil left, some people followed her one after another.

The last ones left at the table were William and Howard.

"Thank you, Howard, for helping me untie Miss Sybil today." William pulled away the chair next to Howard.

"I'd love to be your friend." Howard looked around, making sure no one approached William.He lowered his voice, "In this castle, I only trust you, William. Everyone is dazzled by the viscount, except us—I can see that the viscount's eyes don't have the kind of bewildered eyes Love."

"Oh, but didn't you just want to please the viscount before? Be the first to stand up and dance." William still moved his head lightly.

"Miss Sybil said before, I believe you have heard of it." William was provoked when he heard this.

"My family's fortune was not bright. I was just an ordinary businessman, earning a little money." Howard's tone became a little higher here, "Six years ago, my sister married Viscount Howard. I will never forget my sister The look of joy on his face when he was chosen as the viscount's wife, and our family has gradually prospered by relying on the viscount's generous dowry and this relationship." Howard's expression was shrouded in a shadow at this time, "But, I There was no more news of my sister, not even a single letter. I waited and waited and asked my father: my father said that my sister lived too well in the castle and did not want to come back; I asked my mother: my mother said that my sister was lost in the forest I won’t come back if I can’t find my way back.”, “I don’t believe that my sister just disappeared from this world without a sound.” Howard showed a look of hatred on his face, “It must have been done by the Viscount .I want to find my sister, even her bones."

"Can you help me?" Howard looked at William.

William saw love and hatred intertwined in Howard's eyes, "Love for my sister and hatred for the Earl." William knew that it was dangerous to agree to a stranger's request at this time, but he was stabbed by the love in Howard's eyes. It hurt, he thought of someone who was his relative—"If that person knew that I was dead, would he put all his eggs in one basket and give up his life to look for me like Howard?" His heart was no longer what it used to be Cold and hard, then trust him.

"If there is anything I can help, I will help you." William replied to Howard.

"Can you help me find the darkroom of this castle? I suspect someone is locked up elsewhere." Howard handed a strange-looking bug to William. Put this there, and this little thing will probe and come back. One more person is faster than me looking around by myself."

"It's amazing." William held the little thing carefully.

Howard said, "Of course, thanks to the witch's magic."

William now has a headache when he hears about witches, "Oh, thanks witch."

Holding the ant-like creature in their hands, the two men clinked each other as if toasting, "It's great, someone is with me." William thought to himself, with a faint expression on his face and even a little dullness.Howard turned into that sunny boy again, and it was difficult for William to connect his current appearance with the gloomy boy just now.Their images are too different, but William has a little recognition in his heart. People are always so attached to the things they care about that they have completely different attitudes.Who is my love blooming for?Who knows what I look like?Outsiders don't know, and outsiders are not allowed to know.People who are close can laugh, make trouble, scold and be crazy, but those who are not close see only the mask.

At this time, he suddenly saw the way Kargus looked at him, like cornflowers soaked in the sea.When the siren-like charming blue tail flicked up and down, there was a moment of pearly brilliance, so pure and so childish.Then there was him standing in the hall with an ebony scepter and smiling lightly, as if he had been sewn with an airtight mask.

"How could I think of him." William shook his head, and he carefully put the octopus that Howard gave him in a small pocket and hung it around his waist. "Maybe I should take a look around."

He went up the stairs to his room, rang the bell, and immediately the old footman appeared at the door.

"Can you take me around the castle this afternoon?"

"it is good."
