I'm going to change clothes in the maid's room later, of course the less I have on me, the better.

Rhines didn't speak, but he was shivering from the cold on the floor.

He glanced back at August who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, then turned and walked towards the door.

These two days are the days when Herbert is about to go to school. He is almost an adult, and the Sauk family will soon prepare a coming-of-age ceremony for the new head of the family.Even if a little thing is lost in the kitchen, it will not affect anything.

At the same time, during this period of time, the servants in the family had countless things to be busy with. When it came to Rhines, they paid much less attention.

Reines paused slightly when he landed outside the room, and then, like the group of cats he fed, he gently lifted the other slender bare foot and took the second step.

The door closed silently, and a pair of dark blue eyes slowly opened on the bed.

It's completely different from humans.

Those were a pair of eyes that glowed faintly in the dark.

August smiled. He seemed to think this matter was very interesting. He looked at the closed door and thought for a while.

His older brother, also his little Silvertail, ran away.

……

These three words seemed to have some magical power, which made him very happy.

August got up silently and got out of bed.

It's different from Rhines' careful cover-up.

Covering up all one's whereabouts and hiding them in the dark is simply the natural skill of the mermaids.

August does a great job without needing any frills.

He didn't go to the door, but to the window.

There are many people in the Sauk family, and creatures will leave their own scents wherever they go, as long as the stalker pays attention to it, they can easily detect it.

Now, Rhines came to the second floor.

August was patient.

If anyone can see this scene, they will want to laugh.

A child who looked only ten years old and was wrapped in bandages stood by the window, quietly looking at the moon outside the window like a great thinker in ancient times.

If the visitor is a good person, he will even step forward and pat August on the shoulder with great interest to make a joke——

Then, he will be frightened by the way the merman looks like now.

Black.

Scales, sharp enough to be judged only by the naked eye, began to grow from under the eyelids.

They are alive, so they are slowly opening and closing at a certain speed.

At the same time, August's hands also changed.

It doesn't fit the palm of a ten-year-old boy at all, but it doesn't prevent the sharp claws from reflecting a little blue-purple light under the moonlight.

The light that represents the readiness of the poison gland.

In fact, it is completely unnecessary, after all, the current Rhines has not been transformed, he is just a human being who knows nothing.

But the genes of Black Tail roared through the blood, rolling up endless violence and excitement.

This is instinct.

When August confirmed that Rhines had reached the first floor, he finally pushed open the window.

I will do nothing, He said in his heart.

I don't know if it's a promise to Rhines, or a warning to myself.

first floor—

Rhines tripped over the floor and almost fell on the cold ground.

He suddenly felt a little wronged, the child above was sleeping soundly in his room, but he had to go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for him the next day.

Then at night, August would sleep with him.

It wasn't a particularly important thing at first, but in the dark night, people will always become a little abnormal.

Rhines would not admit that he only now realized that he was a little afraid of the dark.

But... the corridor of Sauk's house is too long, and the lights are not lit, so you can't see anything.

He always felt that someone was following him.

The second floor didn't know which room it was, but there was a sudden noise.Rhines tensed up all over, and subconsciously pressed himself against the door.

After a while, nothing happened.

... Rhines tugged at the hem of his clothes in annoyance.

Fortunately no one saw it.

he thought.

And it is on the ceiling more than one meter high from Rhines.

August narrowed his dark blue eyes slightly, and smiled with satisfaction.

He lightly turned on the lamp that made the noise just now, and let it return to its original place by itself.

If you're so timid, why can't you be nice.

August thought without any guilt, he watched Rhines' physical tears from the shock just now, and silently followed Rhines' footsteps.

The place where the maid keeps her coat and hat is not far in front, it is a small room.

Because it is always used, it will not be locked all day.

Rhines carefully pushed open the door, facing him was a whole side of glass with curtains drawn.But there was more or less a gap between the two curtains.

In the reflection of the glass, a little dark blue light - fleeting.

……

Rhines was petrified.

He froze in place.

Am I wrong?he asked himself.

That shape, what would it be... that appeared above his head?

From this moment on, the instinct that had been unresponsive for a long time finally came into play.

Rhines' mind went blank, and after a while, he took a step back, and then another step.

This is the door.

Rhines stared straight ahead, trembling with fear.

At one point, he looked up suddenly, even though there was no light in the corridor.But after the human eyeballs have adapted to the environment, especially tonight when the moon is bright, everything above his head can still be seen at a glance.

Nothing at all.

The stone wall chandeliers that have been used by the Sauk family for nearly a hundred years are carefully cleaned by servants every Christmas.

Other than that, nothing.

……

Rhines breathed a sigh of relief, he was really too nervous.

But it could also be the light outside the window, like fireflies or something.

Why did he suddenly feel that someone was following behind him?

This is so embarrassing.

The second young master of Suoke's family was a little ashamed, and immediately walked into the maid's cloakroom.

Even with moonlight, Rhines still couldn't see the size of the clothes.He randomly pulled out a maid skirt and put it on for himself.

After all, they are servants who are going to be shown to others. In this regard, the Sauk family is not too stingy, and the layers of black and white skirts are not very convenient for doing things.

Rhines zipped up the back zipper, straightened the hem of the skirt with both hands, and realized that he had taken the wrong thing when he touched the huge bow on the back waist.

This one should be put here to be used when Herbert holds a coming-of-age ceremony.

Rhines fumbled around his neck, looking for the nape zipper.

But he is a boy after all, no matter how slender he is, his shoulders are still wider than girls.

It was originally a perfectly fitted maid skirt. Considering the special nature of the banquet, the zipper was very concealed.

Reines searched for a long time before grabbing the bit of cold metal.

During this time, the door behind him opened slightly.

After thinking about it for a while, August knew what Rhines was going to do. Of course he heard the conversation between Rhines and Tina during the day.

That woman was one of the few humans who left a scent on Rhines.

If it weren't for her, all the communication with Rhines so far was for herself.

August would probably consider her the... 36th human he ate.

August was lying on the door, and now Rhines was facing the window sideways, even though his eyes would still reflect marks on it, Rhines didn't notice it.

Like a hunting snake, he leaned forward, his scaled elbows pressed against the wall, and his fingers controlled the groove of the door.August looked carefully at Rhines' calf and exposed arm.

The neckline of the skirt didn't go down very much, but it completely exposed the slender collarbone and snow-white neck.

That's August's favorite spot.

Perfect for being pressed against his canines.

It is suitable for any situation.

August actually doesn't appreciate human clothing very much.From his point of view, or from the point of view of the entire merman group, human beings are weak and ugly creatures.

So they can't expose their bodies to the dangerous sea water unscrupulously like the sharks.

But from the first time, from the scarlet suspender skirt, to the pure white or brown shirt, and now, the black and white maid skirt.

August loved it.

He seemed to remember that when he left the imperial capital, he passed by a shop that specialized in custom-made dresses.

In the glass showcase outside, stood a model wearing a light green dress.

August did not like the dress.

He just felt that the slightly exposed socks on the model's legs were very suitable to appear on Rhines' body.

He could already imagine how the stretchy fabric would show little marks on Rhines' legs, red marks, light pink.

Then he will cover up the circle of marks.

……

Rhines let go of his hand a little discouraged.

He can't pull it away.

The zipper seemed to be right with him, it couldn't be opened at all.

I don't know if it was stuck by the end of the thread. Anyway, for the current Rhines, he must find a pair of scissors to cut the skirt, otherwise, he has to wear this maid's dress to the kitchen.

None of the night maids wear dresses.

The bell tower in the distance suddenly rang eleven times.

Rhines was startled, is it already so late?

11:30 every night is the time when the gate is locked. At this time, the housekeeper will take the hounds to the yard to patrol around before going to bed.

The hounds are specially domesticated for hunting by their masters, and of course they can smell Rhines.

If the butler comes out...

Rhines closed his eyes as if giving up, turned and walked outside.

He was still barefoot, and he could clearly feel every step he took when he landed on the ground.

Don't be afraid... Those servants usually do this, and you can too.

August is still waiting for me.

At some point, the child who was sleeping on his bed actually became a support for Rhines.

He was really alone for too long.

What's more, Rhines knew that August couldn't stay by his side for too long, so it didn't matter if he relied a little bit.

Behind him, the terrifying species that once existed under the deep sea followed him silently.

For the mermen, it is almost impossible for them to have insufficient food, and August's thinking has been relatively slow recently.

So, until he followed Rhines down to the first floor, he didn't understand what his little silver tail was going to do.

Although objectively and subjectively it didn't match, at the beginning, August really thought that Rhines was going to run away.

Rhines was afraid of him, which August easily noticed.

But fear is not an uncommon thing for them.

But now, when he was following Rhines, watching his little silver tail actually looking for food, an indescribable numbness suddenly surged up in his chest, at the position of his heart.

...He wanted to take Rhines back immediately, right now.

How strange, this is clearly a completely unfamiliar emotional response.

It even manifested itself physically as injury or poisoning, but August didn't even have the slightest thought of stopping to check the changes in his body.

Or he can check, but he will check slowly after Rhines followed him back to the deep sea.

-------------------------------------

The kitchen was also bleak, and the maid who was watching the night here didn't intend to do any superficial work at all, so she extinguished all the candles loudly, and slept soundly in a chair alone.

Rhines felt that if she hadn't been afraid that sleeping in the room might be reported by the maid in the same room, she wouldn't have stayed in the kitchen at all.

But that's okay, he was a little relieved.

The complicated hem of the dress rubbed against the cupboard next to it. Reines hurriedly stretched out his hands to embrace them, then carefully walked around the long table in the middle and walked towards the innermost cupboard where food was stored.

It should be there, he thought.

At this moment, Rhines had no idea that there was actually a plate on the ground.

Unprepared, he stepped on it.

The creamy cream squeezed out from between the toes, filling the space between the soles of the feet and the porcelain plate.

And it's slippery.

Rhines almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, he immediately supported the long table in the middle.

But at the same time, there was a crisp sound of knocking dishes and the ground, echoing back and forth in the empty kitchen where no one else should exist.

August smiled.

He likes the way Rhines is panicking now, completely in need of his help.

So just a second before the maid frowned as if she was about to wake up, August silently opened her mouth and let out a sound wave that humans couldn't detect.

Reines only felt a little pain in his head, he slightly raised his brows, and nervously raised his head to look at the maid,

Fortunately, she slept soundly.

Rhines' delicate Adam's apple rolled slightly. He had actually calculated many times in his mind how he would fail this time, but when he actually did it, he knew that this matter was really not suitable for him.

It's like a cat who is spoiled by its owner at home, and there is no way to fight like stray wild cats.

August on the wall behind him laughed silently.

You see, how could I let him go to someone else?

Rhines is so clumsy and weak, if the person beside him is not me, how can I protect him?

Just like being under the deep sea countless times, Silvertail always resists being confined in a small area, but in fact, if you let it out, there will be so many sea monsters outside, so many brutal sharks like him people.

It won't take long for the escaped Silvertail to be recaptured.

Of course the merman could smell Silvertail's aura that belonged to a competitor.

Cleaning is the first choice.

The ocean is always full of water.

But no matter what kind of creature it is, it doesn't like the feeling of salty sea water pouring into the deepest part.

But there is no way, everyone is very angry. It is almost impossible for the mermaids to be a gentleman in this matter.

Sometimes, Silver Tail would even take other people's eggs and break into another mermaid's territory ignorantly.

The predators bared their fangs in the depths, and only warm tears could completely dissipate their anger.

August looked at Rhines below.

Look at his waist tucked into the skirt.

Rhines can't stand that.

Although I might cover his eyes and pretend to be another mermaid to punish Rhines for all his occasional small mistakes.

But in this regard, it is impossible for him to give up Rhines to others.
