Elizabeth stared at a certain pattern on the wall, forcing herself not to think about anything, but to focus on that pattern.Taking a deep breath and then calming down was the biggest lesson she learned from getting along with Aunt Catherine.

Never get angry.

She turned her head to look at Mr. Riddle, who seemed unhappy, maintaining the attitude she had maintained for many years, with her chin slightly raised in his direction, but she didn't actually look at him.

"I have some things to deal with next, Mr. Riddle may not be convenient to be there." Elizabeth said this in a steady voice, she knew that Tom Riddle was not a person who would let it go, if he left easily, he should be there when she came back Said no welcome and left.

"Why did Tom leave? He is an essential person in the manor!" Aunt Catherine's speech was always so unexpected, and Elizabeth reaffirmed that it was because of her years of concessions and indulgences that made things so bad.

Aunt Catherine had even forgotten that if it wasn't for the loophole in the manor's magic contract, without the authorization of the wizard, she would not even be able to enter the manor, let alone let anyone else enter the manor.

Elizabeth didn't care what Aunt Catherine said, just like Catherine's attitude towards her for many years.She just continued to order Tom to leave: "I think Mr. Riddle should have enough self-knowledge?"

Coco can't hurt wizards, in the good old days in America, Elizabeth rarely even needed to use a wand, and this wasn't the time for them to be three years old.Even with dozens of alchemy artifacts, Elizabeth did not want to conflict with Tom, who was now a powerful adult wizard.

Elizabeth could only hope that he would leave on his own, gentlemanly and sensible.

Not getting the attention she wanted, Catherine began to cry angrily. She leaned on the wall in a graceful posture, and slowly fell to the ground and wept.Catherine is always beautiful when she cries.But Elizabeth still ignored her. It was an old trick, and she even knew that she would start counting her worries and sacrifices for Hanselton next.

But to her surprise, Tom, who had always been very close to Aunt Catherine, also looked at Catherine coldly, without any intention of helping or comforting her.His eyes were indifferent, there was no difference between looking at a weeping woman and looking at the splendens on the lawn. This was his usual attitude. Elizabeth knew that when he was in school, he looked at those students who were not as good as him.

What a hypocrite.

Elizabeth felt that Tom had no intention of leaving, so she turned and left the ominous and bloody room.

She walked through the corridor with heavy steps, and stopped in front of the magic secret room in the corridor on the third floor.After tapping the grapes on the portrait with a wand, a doorway appeared on the wall only for her to pass through.It was so dark that it was impossible to see what was inside from the outside.

Elizabeth walked in without hesitation.Tom, who followed Elizabeth unhurriedly, only saw Elizabeth's robe disappear behind the magic door, and the wall returned to normal in the blink of an eye.

Tom is not in a hurry, trespassing on an ancient wizarding family's secret room, the end may not be what he would like to see, but he has always been a patient person. Ever since he knew Ms. Catherine, he was very much looking forward to reuniting with Elizabeth.

Hanselton's Chamber of Secrets is an empty rotunda, except for the portraits of ancestors on the curved walls, the magic circle drawn by alchemy on the ground, and the weird murals painted on the ceiling, there is nothing.When Elizabeth came in, the fluorescent stones inlaid on the floor lit up one by one.After a while, the whole hall was brightly lit.

It was extremely quiet, Elizabeth didn't speak, and the portraits on the wall seemed to be just ordinary Muggle portraits, not to mention the voice, and she didn't even move her eyes.This is the second time Elizabeth has entered the secret room that symbolizes Hansenton's highest power. The first time she was here, she used a magic circle to capture the magic power in the blood of her dead relatives, and became a wizard and Hansendon's protector.

It was a painful experience, but at least at that time she could tell herself that she was enduring the pain to protect her blood relatives.

Elizabeth thought that when she entered here, she would confront the portraits, maybe yell, and cut and burn the paintings with ancestral thoughts but no ancestral emotions, and they made a mess of everything.

But no, Elizabeth found herself here just to do the right thing.She stood silently in the center of the magic circle in the hall, using the authority of the patriarch to restrain the entire manor.

She ordered the house-elves on the manor to gather all Hanseltons under the age of six and send them to her private home in America.The grown-up Squibs in the manor give them a forget-it-all to bring their memories back to their infancy.The portraits are all chained and will fall into a deep sleep with the house-elf who fulfilled the order.

Elizabeth was sweating all over, sitting on the ground with exhaustion. Except that the manor could still enter and exit freely, it was no different from a closed manor. A manor without elves to take care of it would always end up covered in dust due to negligent care , and then annihilates.

She should have done this a long time ago, no one can force others to sacrifice, it is her fault.

When Elizabeth walked out of the secret room, it was already very dark. In the past, there were elves taking care of her. At this time, the manor should be brightly lit, but the elves have been forced to fall into a deep sleep. Now Elizabeth doesn't even want to use a fluorescent flashing power use.

At this time, the lights in the manor were all on, and there was no feeling in the darkness. In fact, since she walked out of the secret room, Tom Riddle was not far from her.

He looked at her quietly.

At this moment, there was a thumping sound on the stairs. It was Catherine, who was wearing make-up and her shoes had fallen off.

"Merlin, what have you done!" Catherine finally abandoned her usual delicate voice and yelled at Elizabeth.

"Stop you." Elizabeth looked at Catherine's slightly protruding belly, and raised her eyebrows clearly. The rules of Hansendon Manor always have a strong tolerance for young blood.Pregnant so can't accept nothing, and can't be brought to the US.

Catherine suddenly calmed down when she heard Elizabeth's words. She slowly straightened her little hair, her eyes were empty,

"If I am the one with the magic power, the Hanselton family will regain the glory of their ancestors in my hands. You ruined the glory of Hanselton." After speaking, she suddenly stared at Elizabeth with hatred and grinned.

"Is that what you say to prevent it?"

After Catherine finished speaking, she cut her own throat with the magic dagger she carried with her.

Elizabeth was powerless and could not stop it, but Tom, who had always been close to Catherine, also watched Catherine's suicide act coldly.

Catherine has always had the habit of threatening Elizabeth with suicide, but she didn't expect that Elizabeth would not have time to stop her this time, and Tom was so unfeeling.She probably didn't even realize what a stupid mistake it was, so she stopped thinking.

But at this time, Tom walked up to Elizabeth, still smiling maliciously, and asked,

"Excuse me, Elizabeth, will you marry me?"
