[Comprehensive] The fairy tale time of adults

Everything is over, but everything has just begun.

That night, Lydia called in the skinny servant.

After experiencing the torment of the weird space, Lydia was so emaciated that she didn't even need to pretend.

In the eyes of the skinny servant, her sluggish state became another interpretation—Lydia went through a fierce psychological struggle and finally made a decision that pleased him.

Through observing Lydia during this period, the skinny servant has long seen that she is not a rigid person.Although she seems to be loyal to love, she will not be blinded by it.When she discovers the true face of Blue Beard and is faced with the choice of life and death, she obviously has only one choice.

The skinny servant had no doubts about Lydia's decision.After all, she only has one way to go, doesn't she?

Sure enough, Lydia and the skinny servant expressed their willingness to cooperate.She made a condition to the skinny servant: he must show enough sincerity.

The skinny servant is a cunning person, he readily agreed, but he didn't mention what he could give Lydia, but asked her to make an offer.

Naturally, Blue Beard's property need not be mentioned.

Lydia produced only a golden key, which was the key to the impenetrable room in the basement.Since Lydia came out of the weird space, the golden key somehow turned a mottled red as if stained with blood.

She threw the key to the servant and said, "This is also my sincerity. I went to that room, and because I was too frightened, I accidentally dropped the key on the floor of the room. After picking it up, it became like this It looks bad. I wiped and wiped it and washed it countless times, but I can't clean it. No matter what you do, before Bluebeard comes back, I want you to destroy it and give me a perfect key that is exactly the same .”

Lydia was not at all afraid that the skinny servant would turn against him at this moment. She took out the blood-stained key to give him the handle, implying that she could only stand in the same boat as them.

The skinny servant and Dick were so eager to get Bluebeard's property, they wanted her, and of course they wouldn't and couldn't do anything to her before Bluebeard came back.

They will only let her disappear quietly after their goal is achieved, just like Irene.

Lydia looked into the thin servant's eyes and threatened him with the words he once said: "You are a smart man, I put all my trust in you, I believe you will not let me down. Looking forward to our next cooperation. "

"Please rest assured and leave it to me, master." The skinny servant saluted Lydia very respectfully, and also changed her address wisely.

Years of wish is finally coming true!

After bidding farewell to Lydia, the skinny servant had countless treasures floating in his mind.He was like a hyena smelling carrion, his eyes blazing with greed.

He suppressed his excitement and went back to his room. The first thing he did was find out the spare key.He had all the spare keys in the castle, and Lydia's worries were easily solved by him.

Lydia was nothing more than a stray dog ​​to the skinny servant.It would be best if she could be domesticated into a domestic dog.But if she goes mad and bites, the skinny servant can make her disappear easily.

Everything is within his grasp.

Looking at the bloody key, the skinny servant sneered.Of course he will not destroy this key, he will hide it well for emergencies.

The next day, Lydia had just finished her breakfast when the skinny servant delivered the key.

He handled things very neatly, and he finished what she asked him to do after only one night.After putting away the golden key, Lydia praised the skinny servant with satisfaction.

"So, what should we do next?" Lydia asked the skinny servant with some urgency, what should she do with them.

"Don't worry, master. Dick will come over right away, and we'll discuss it together later." The skinny servant said calmly, "I'll go and prepare some drinks for you first."

Dick's arrival was well timed, just as the skinny servant had finished getting drinks ready.

The thin servant said that he was preparing a drink for Lydia, and there was more than one cup.Lydia sneered inwardly, but on the surface she pretended to ignore his arrogance.

"You're here." Lydia's attitude towards Dick was a little more intimate than before, and she managed it very well, neither flattering nor overly cold.

"I'm here, Lydia." Dick sat down beside her with a smile, and held her hand on the table as soon as he sat down, "I told you, don't worry about anything, and now this sentence is still the same will not change."

"Dick..." Lydia was a little moved, but pulled out the hand that Dick was holding.

Dick still smiled gently. He didn't mind Lydia's attitude. Judging from the current situation, after Bluebeard died, she would definitely fall into his arms soon.

"What should I do?" Lydia asked Dick urgently, "I have been tormented these days, thinking of Bluebeard is like a sword hanging over my head, wanting my life all the time .”

Hearing this, Dick and the skinny servant looked at each other and laughed secretly in their hearts.

"You just need to do one very, very simple thing." Dick drank the fine wine on the table, "When the Duke comes back, hold a banquet in the name of celebrating his victory, just like last time the castle Don't invite those nobles like the banquet of the upper and lower. This matter can only be done by you, so that it will look very natural."

The skinny servant continued, "I'll give you a glass of poisoned wine, just let him drink it."

After listening, Lydia showed embarrassment.She struggled with her expression for a long time, drank the wine in her glass, and then said with difficulty: "Okay, I will try."

Dick said encouragingly: "You can do it."

The skinny servant filled the wine for the two of them, picked up his own wine glass on the table, and raised the glass to Lydia with a smile, everything was self-evident.

A few days later, Bluebeard arrived at the castle.

To celebrate his triumphant return, Lydia held a lively small banquet for him in the castle.She didn't invite outsiders, only Bluebeard's retainers and confidantes.

Bluebeard and Lydia briefly said a few words to the guests, letting them have fun, and then went aside to whisper.There were no outsiders present, and everyone gave understanding glances, eating and drinking on their own.

Servants shuttled through the castle, and they brought wine and delicacies one after another.The retainers either sat down at the banquet, or gathered together in twos and threes to chat with friends who had returned from the battlefield.

After winning the battle, the castle was filled with a relaxed atmosphere. People were eating and drinking, and it was very lively.

Only Dick and the skinny servant were nervous. They were watching Lydia and Bluebeard closely, waiting anxiously...

"What? What do you want to tell me?" Just now Lydia pulled the blue beard mysteriously, saying that she wanted to tell him a terrible thing.Blue Beard was very curious about what she had found.

Could it be the secret in the basement?No, if she had seen there, she would not be able to get along with him as usual, she should have been scared out of her wits long ago.

Bluebeard guessed happily.

"Dick and that scrawny servant are going to kill you." Lydia tugged at Bluebeard's clothes, and smiled in his ear as he bent down.

Blue Beard was stunned for a moment. There was no trace of anger on his face. Instead, he seemed to have heard a joke: "Oh? How did you know?"

"Yes, just keep that expression. They are looking at us now, don't let them notice." Lydia continued on her own regardless of what Bluebeard thought.

Lydia told Blue Beard the plan of Dick and the skinny servant in detail: from how Dick "seduces" her, to luring her to go to the basement, but she firmly refused, to the threat of the skinny servant...

Lydia clearly told Bluebeard one by one.

"The skinny servant also lied to me. He said that you killed your previous wives and put their bodies in the basement." Lydia curled her lips in disdain, "Do you really think you can fool me with such a silly lie? ? Although he acted very firmly, it is impossible for me to believe it, I only believe in you!"

After finishing speaking, Lydia looked at Blue Beard with sparkling eyes, like a puppy eager to get attention, caress and praise from its master.

Bluebeard looked at Lydia, although there was a smile on his face, his eyes were as cold and ruthless as a butcher.After a while, he raised his hand and stroked her head affectionately: "Prove it to me, Lydia."

"Yeah." Lydia nodded, smiled and waved to the skinny servant, "Give me two glasses of wine."

The skinny servant responded and handed the wine glass to Lydia, inadvertently touching the sleeve on her right hand.Lydia realized instantly, and she naturally handed the wine on her right hand to Bluebeard.

"It's too noisy here, let's go to a quieter place." Bluebeard took the wine with a smile, took a sip, and put his arms around her waist.

Lydia looked back at the skinny servant and Dick with a reassuring look, and left with Bluebeard.

When Lydia returned to the banquet, Bluebeard was no longer with her.She told the guests apologetically that Bluebeard had passed out because of his drunkenness and the exhaustion of days.

Dick was the first to say that he didn't mind: "The Duke has been working hard these days, let him sleep and don't disturb him." The guests also echoed, and the host was not there, so they played for a while and then dispersed.

Before Dick left, Lydia gave him a meaningful look, and then smiled at the skinny servant.

She said with her lips: tomorrow morning, wait for my good news.

The two understood each other and returned home happily.

That night, Bluebeard didn't come home late, and Dick and the skinny servant tossed and turned, unable to sleep because of the excitement.Only Lydia got a good night's sleep.

After waking up refreshed, Lydia found that Bluebeard had returned to the bedroom at some point, and was sitting at the table eating a hearty breakfast.Seeing Lydia woke up, Bluebeard kindly beckoned her to come to eat too.

"Well done, Lydia." Bluebeard pushed Lydia's breakfast in front of her, "Come and have breakfast."

Lydia responded happily and sat down next to Bluebeard.

It seems that he has investigated Dick and the skinny servant and the plot to murder him, and has an answer in his mind.

Sure enough, when Lydia was about to finish her breakfast, Bluebeard said, "Wait a minute, tell Dick and the skinny servant to go to the study, and tell me I've been poisoned. Do you know what to do, Lidia?" Ya?"

"Yeah." Lydia nodded.

Bluebeard smiled and said, "Very good."

After Lydia's message was delivered, the skinny servant and Dick almost went to the study together.

"He has been poisoned and is in the bedroom." Lydia closed the door and said to Dick and the skinny servant, "What should I do next?"

The skinny servant and Dick were ecstatic. After a while, the skinny servant calmed down first.

He cleared his throat, and said the plan he had thought up a long time ago: "Leave the next thing to Dick. When Dick kills Bluebeard, everything here will be yours, my mistress."

Lydia didn't want Dick to kill someone, but she was also worried about his accident. She looked worried and looked at Dick: "But, Dick..."

Dick sensed Lydia's intentions, and in order to show Lydia how strong he was, he patted his chest and made a movement of raising a knife with his hands: "Don't worry, Lydia, don't worry."

"Well, I'm very relieved." Lydia smiled strangely. She looked towards the inner room of the study. Following her gaze, a tall man came out holding an axe.

Dick and the skinny servant were taken aback, and looked at Bluebeard in horror, never expecting that Lydia would betray "them".

"Get out, Lydia." Bluebeard said to Lydia while holding the axe, "The next scene will scare you."

"Okay." Lydia turned her head and left. When she walked past Dick and the skinny servant, the two realized it.

"Duke! Please don't be deceived by her, she deliberately framed me for all this!" The thin servant's voice was shrill, trying to defend himself.

"Framed you? For what?" Lydia shook her head puzzled, "Aren't you going to say that because I 'peeked' at the secrets of the basement, and you happened to see me, so you wanted to kill me?"

After speaking, Lydia looked at Blue Beard with a funny face.

Bluebeard cooperatively took out a blood-stained key, and stared at the thin servant viciously: "I found this in your room, it was well hidden, and it is as concealed as your ambition."

At this point, what did the skinny servant and Dick not understand?It turned out that Lydia had deeper thoughts than they thought, and she planned to get rid of them from the beginning.

But did she really think that she could live happily with Bluebeard?Sooner or later she too will go to hell!

Seeing that things were no longer turning around, Dick suddenly reached out to Lydia, intending to hold her hostage and threaten Bluebeard to gain a chance of life.

However, Bluebeard had already seen through Dick's actions. The moment he stretched out his hand, Bluebeard's ax had already been thrown at his arm.

Lydia went straight to the door, forgetting about Dick's screams, she closed the door softly, and left this hellish room.

After dealing with the betrayer, Bluebeard found Lydia in the studio with a pleasant smile.He flipped through her paintings and praised her painting skills.

"It's not as powerful as you said, I can only draw some landscapes." Lydia was embarrassed by the praise, her eyes swept over Blue Beard's fingers, his hands were clean, but looking carefully, the fingers There are still some blood stains hidden in the cracks that are difficult to clean up.

Bluebeard laughed, and kissed Lydia's forehead happily. He stroked her hair and said softly, "Lydia, I have something to do tomorrow and I need to leave for a few days. This time is very short. , I promise to come back within four days. You have done a very good job this time, and I will give you a reward. When I am away, you can go and see the room in the basement."

Lydia was stunned for a moment, and she asked back: "You mean...the one that I was not allowed to see before?"

"Correct."

Lydia rested her head on Blue Beard's chest, and replied cheerfully: "I'm looking forward to it!" Her eyes were as dark as ink, filled with endless hatred and anger.

Blue Beard said that he had something to leave, but this time, he had nothing to do at all.

He just wanted to give Lydia plenty of time to go and see what was in the basement.

Bluebeard went to a hunting ground not far away, temporarily venting his uncontrollable bloodthirsty desire by hunting.He couldn't wait to know how Lydia would react after seeing the basement. He couldn't guess how this clever girl would respond, and he was extremely looking forward to what surprise Lydia would bring him.

When Bluebeard came back again, Lydia greeted her at the gate of the castle as usual.Her expression was still so enthusiastic, and there was no trace of fear.

"Have you seen the basement?" Blue Beard couldn't bear it anymore and asked curiously.

"Look, there's nothing there! You really lied to me on purpose!" Lydia raised her head unhappily, and thumped Bluebeard's chest vigorously.

"Impossible? How is it possible! You must have messed up the wrong room." Before Bluebeard left, he threw the dismembered corpses of Dick and the skinny servant into that room. How could there be nothing in it.

"There's nothing there. If you don't believe me, come and see it with me!" Lydia looked at Bluebeard dissatisfiedly, then turned her head and walked towards the basement.

Bluebeard was confused and followed closely behind Lydia.

When the two came to the basement, Lydia opened the door. She glanced inside first, then moved away, and gestured for Bluebeard to come and see.

Bluebeard glanced at Lydia suspiciously, then poked his head to look inside.All his attention was on the door, and he didn't even notice that a man appeared behind him and raised a hammer at him.

When Bluebeard woke up moaning, he subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch the back of his swollen head, but found that he was tied up.He was sitting in that familiar room in the basement, surrounded by corpses and bloodstains as usual, nothing at all like Lydia said.

Lydia slapped him sharply, bringing him back to sanity.Only then did Bluebeard realize that Lydia and two strange knights were standing in front of him.

"Welcome to hell." Lydia said coldly.

As Lydia expected, Blue Beard really knew about Irene's murder. He didn't take Irene to heart at all, and only regarded her as a toy.Irene's sincere love for him was just a boring thing for him.

At the end of his life, Lydia asked him if he regretted it, and Bluebeard just smiled and said he regretted not killing her.

Eventually, Irene's brother took his life.

What Bluebeard did shocked the whole kingdom, people condemned him one after another, and sympathized with the poor girls who were victimized.

But so what, Irene never came back.

When Bluebeard died, Lydia inherited his fortune.She divided these things among her family, Irene's brother, and Baker, and kept only a small part for herself.

She found Irene's body in a lake not far from the castle.She was drowned, with several boulders tied to her body, and sank to the bottom of the water.

She buried Irene and Bluebeard's wives, and threw the bodies of Dick and the emaciated servants into the wilderness to feed the beasts.

In addition, Lydia found that she lost the ability to enter the strange space.Baker said that this is Irene helping Lydia take away what she shouldn't get, and exchange her for a new life chance.

After hearing this, Lydia let out a long sigh.

After arranging everything, Lydia took her painting tools and embarked on a journey.

Lydia wanted to leave here and see a world she had never seen before.She believed that besides darkness, there must also be light here, a light as warm as Irene.

Before departure, there are two unexpected partners beside her--Irene's brother and Baker.

Irene's brother wanted to become Lydia's knight, and Baker... kept saying that he was her servant and he wanted to follow Lydia.

In desperation, Lydia could only take the two of them on the journey together.

The wind lifted Lydia's long hair, and the three of them walked side by side on the path in the field, and the chamomiles all over the mountains and plains were in full bloom.

The author has something to say: I am much better, thank you for your concern.
