Chapter 144 Hello, I'm here to kill
"."
Eleanor sat quietly in front of the dressing mirror, holding up her long black hair with a numb expression, holding the comb Comb the hair from the root to the end, repeating this action back and forth, mechanical and monotonous.
Wearing an exquisite dress, she is dressed like an elegant and noble lady. If she appears at a banquet, she will definitely be the most eye-catching one.
And she will indeed attend a banquet tonight.
The expedition banquet from the Royal Paranormal Academy was held to celebrate the fourth-generation students who were about to go to the demon battlefield to perform their missions.
This is also the tradition of the college for hundreds of years.
Every night before leaving, the girls will put on gorgeous dresses, and the boys will put on their assigned military uniforms, and after the buffet, they will dance together on the dance floor.
After all, many of these people may unfortunately be buried in the demon battlefield in the future, and this may be the last time they see each other.
So, even after the decline of the Bart Leon family, Eleanor did not like such occasions, but she was not allowed to violate the college's system.
In order not to be expelled from the college, she no longer has the qualifications to be willful as before.
“Dong Dong Dong”
With a knock on the door, Eleanor returned to reality from her trance.
She was silent for a moment, then frowned: "Come in."
Fortunately, after the door was pushed open, Eleanor saw a maid with braids and freckles on her face. He walked quietly into her room.
Seeing this, she breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes were still dim: "Seline, why is it you?"
Hearing this, the maid put her finger to her lips: "Shh, Miss Eleanor, Keep your voice down, I came to find you secretly behind the maid's back."
Then she walked quickly to Eleanor.
Seeing that the master’s delicate and cute little face had become thinner, a hint of distress flashed in the eyes of the maid Serin.
She gently took the comb from Eleanor's hand, and while combing her hair, she whispered: "Miss Eleanor, I just received news over there that the Viscount Wilson family seems to be willing to help. You provide asylum. He once served as an adjutant under the Marquis, so he should be relatively credible.”
"Uncle Wilson?"
Hearing this name, Eleanor's eyes lit up slightly.
Because she is currently under strict surveillance by the Mosgra family, the servants and subordinates around her have basically changed to new faces. You don’t need to think about it to know that it is the work of those guys.
On weekdays, her behavior is hindered at every turn. She is not like the daughter of a noble family at all, but more like a prisoner without freedom.
Even any book she wants to buy must be inspected by the head maid Maria before she can read it.
He was afraid that she would connect with some of the connections left over from the past of Marquis Bartheleon.
Fortunately, today, her personal maid Serin, whom she had not seen for a long time, brought her good news.
“Did he say when?”
Eleanor subconsciously held the arm of the maid Celine, as if a drowning person grasped the last straw.
Right now, she is imprisoned in the Bart Leon Mansion, and her father who is unconscious in bed is the best hostage, so she does not dare to act rashly.
If Earl Wilson could take her out with her father, then at least the spark for a comeback would be preserved.
The maid Serin looked serious: "Tonight, after the dinner at the college is over, he will arrange for someone to stop your car halfway."
" As for Mr. Marquis, you don’t have to worry, Viscount Wilson said he has his own arrangements.”
Hearing this, Eleanor’s eyes flashed with excitement.
She has been imprisoned in the birdcage woven by the Mosgra family for so long that she has almost no hope of regaining her freedom.
Now that an old friend was finally willing to lend a helping hand, how could she not feel happy?
However, during the more than a year when the family was lonely, she gradually developed a certain character.
Things come together in secret.
Thinking of this, Eleanor took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
A moment later, when she opened her eyes again, her eyes had become dim again, as if everything had never happened.
"You go first, be careful, don't show any flaws and they will find out."
Half an hour later, Eleanor left the room after finishing dressing up, and temporarily separated from the maid Celine, and met two strange maids. "Accompanied" by her, she came to the head maid's room.
It was a master bedroom, much larger and more ornately decorated than Eleanor's room.
It almost tastes like rebelling against Tiangang.
When she walked in, the head maid Maria was already waiting in the room.
"You are late." The middle-aged maid with a cold expression looked at her pocket watch, "Keeping time is a virtue that nobles should have, but it seems that you do not have such qualities."
"Maybe it is. Bart Leon's family has a lax family tradition, so he has not taught you enough in the past. It’s really a very shameful thing.”
“But the future is still long. I will teach you about similar things in the future so that you will never forget them.”
He said. , she took back her pocket watch and looked at the delicate and beautiful girl with eyes like looking at objects.
Obviously she is just a head maid, but she looks a bit condescending at the moment.
However, Eleanor seemed not to hear anything and stood there without saying a word.
Seeing her look like this, Maid Maria could not help but frown: "Your style is more pure, rather than pretending to be mature, so I think your current hairstyle is a bit inappropriate. Suitable for today's dinner, it will show the unseemly side of the Bart Leon family."
"Do you think it should be changed?"
The middle-aged head maid said lightly.
Eleanor’s face was expressionless: “It’s up to you to decide.”
Seeing this, the middle-aged head maid nodded: "Come here."
After a while, two maids came over, brought her to the dressing mirror, and knitted her hard-working Her hair was parted and combed into a less eye-catching look according to Maid Maria's instructions.
Perhaps, its true intention is just to prevent the charming Eleanor from taking over the spotlight.
As for who is the master, it is naturally self-evident.
“Miss Eunice of the Mosgra family will also attend the dinner.” While watching the maid arranging Eleanor’s hair, the head maid Maria said lightly, “As one of the initiators of the dinner, She is also a socialite in Glostin. You should learn more from her in your words and deeds.”
"In addition, it is said that the fourth prince will also attend this dinner tonight to honor the students who are about to go off in the name of the royal family. At that time, you will accompany him in the last dance as a finale."
"Do you understand, Miss Eleanor?"
Although it was a question, there was something unquestionable in the words of the head maid Maria.
Ever since they were sent here by the Mosgra family, they have indirectly taken control of this mansion.
After all, the owner of the mansion, the Marquis Bartheleone, is unconscious at the moment and is a complete vegetable in need of care.
With such a weakness, they are not afraid that Eleanor will make any rebellious moves.
Hearing her words, Eleanor subconsciously covered the pinhole on her wrist with her sleeve, and a trace of anger appeared in her bright blue eyes.
Since the last conflict with Eunice, the demand for blood collection from the Fourth Prince has indeed increased, from one tube of blood to ten tubes.
But how could she be so stupid as to let others slaughter her like this?
Stop the transaction immediately.
However, the fourth prince seemed to be particularly interested in her, or the blood of the Bart Leon family.
So in order to force her to agree to the deal, all kinds of things were pressing on her during this period, and even the Grand Court had to restart the investigation of the Bart Leon family.
This also made Eleanor feel disheartened, and even thought that it would be good to die like this.
Fortunately, today, the maid Serin brought her the few good news recently.
“I got it.”
After a moment of silence, Eleanor whispered.
Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Maid Maria's eyes: "Miss Eleanor seems to be particularly obedient today. Did something good happen to her?"
Her words seemed meaningful. refer to.
Eleanor's heart tightened, but she pretended to be calm on the surface: "Anyway, this is what you want, isn't it?"
Maria, the maid, squinted her eyes and looked at her for a while, Then he nodded: "You are so sensible, our work will naturally be a lot easier." "Okay, a carriage has been prepared for you outside the door, you can set off."
As she spoke, she patted Eleanor on the shoulder.
Eleanor lifted up her skirt without saying a word, and slowly walked out of the Bart Leon mansion accompanied by Maria, the head maid.
Looking at the approaching carriage, recalling the news brought by the maid Celine before, Eleanor's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up slightly.
Soon.
Just tonight, I can break free from this damn prison and escape from the surveillance of the Mosgra family!
When the time comes, I will definitely...
As soon as this thought appeared in my mind, there was a sudden sound of glass breaking behind me.
Eleanor turned her head subconsciously and found a figure suddenly falling from the sky.
When their eyes met, she read the fear and despair in the other person's eyes.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the sound of a human body hitting the ground reached Eleanor's ears, and smoke and dust were faintly scattered around.
Then I saw a bright red color like paint, slowly flowing from the distorted body, and gradually spreading.
She stared blankly at the scene in front of her. Her originally blazing heart seemed to gradually stop beating, and the blood in her body was about to freeze into ice.
The maid Serin who was combing her hair just now turned into a warm corpse in the blink of an eye.
"Perhaps some disobedient maid can't bear the punishment." Maria's head maid's voice came to her ears erratically, as if the scene in front of her had been expected, "So, people can only learn to be obedient. Only then will we have a brighter future.”
“By the way, Miss Eleanor, this person seems to be one of you. My former personal maid was a liar. Out of consideration for you, I moved her away from you."
"You probably didn't believe her when you met her. A silly lie, right?”
Hearing this, tears appeared in the corners of Eleanor’s eyes, and her already empty eyes became even more desperate.
It turns out that everything I did has been under their surveillance for a long time.
You damn devils.
After watching Eleanor board the carriage in despair, the head maid Maria looked away and, accompanied by the maids, returned to the mansion.
Right now, it seems that Eleanor Bartelion’s resistance has been completely shattered.
At least, it will be impossible to rekindle fighting spirit in a short time.
In this case, the last obstacle to the entire Bart Leon family will no longer exist.
It can be regarded as a perfect completion of the task assigned to him by the family.
Thinking of this, the head maid Maria showed a smile on her lips.
At present, except for the unconscious Marquis Barthelion, Eleanor was the only one left in the entire mansion.
The eldest son has long been killed in the battlefield, and although the widow is missing at the moment, she still has the bloodline to legally inherit the title of Bart Leon, which is always a hidden danger.
The Mosgra family is probably already sending people to search.
But Glostin is too big, and there won't be any results for a while.
Fortunately, that is not something that Maid Maria should consider.
All she has to do is to keep the mansion in her hands at all times and wait for orders from the Mosgra family.
Thinking of this, the head maid Maria suddenly stopped and whispered to the maid accompanying her: "Is there any news about the second son who was exiled to the border?"
" No, they are probably dead.”
Hearing this, Maid Maria nodded.
After a while, a servant came over and asked for instructions: "Maid maid, dinner is ready. Do you want to eat now?"
"Yes."
A few minutes later , she appeared in the dining room of Bart Leon's mansion, sitting alone at the main seat.
Looking at the food being served to the table one after another, against the backdrop of the candlelight, she actually felt somewhat powerful at this moment, as if she had truly become the master of the family.
Even if not, so what?
Even the once most favored daughter of the Bart Leon family must bow before her.
This is the pleasure that power brings.
Maria, the head maid, thought in a good mood.
Just as she was gradually immersed in the wonderful atmosphere of the dinner, a sudden change happened.
"Bang!"
With a loud noise, the door of the mansion that was originally closed was suddenly kicked open.
She subconsciously stood up, left the restaurant, and looked towards the door following the sound.
I saw a group of rough-looking servants with border ancestry pouring into the Bart Leon mansion aggressively and lining up in the hall, as if they were waiting for some respected figure to arrive. .
"Who are you? This is Bart Leon's territory. You are not qualified to break in without the permission of the owner!"
While signaling with her eyes to her subordinates to notify the guards of the manor to come to the rescue, the head maid Maria showed the majesty of a superior and spoke loudly.
However, these people ignored her, not even blinking an eye.
A moment later, the sound of unhurried footsteps sounded from the door.
It seems that the real owner has arrived.
The head maid Maria couldn't help but frown, wanting to see who was this blind person who dared to offend the Mosgra family, which was currently at the height of their power in the imperial capital.
No matter who it is, they will definitely want the other person to look good.
Thinking about this, she immediately looked up.
But then, Maid Maria’s expression froze on her face.
The young man with black hair and blue eyes walked in against the light. He was obviously smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes at all. He seemed to be surrounded by a violent snowstorm.
“Is it you?”
Her voice was filled with shock.
After all, she had just heard from the servant not long ago that the second son of the Bart Leon family had probably died at the border.
But not long after, he actually appeared in front of her alive.
It all seemed like a dream.
Recalling all the grievances between him and the Mosgra family, it seemed that they were all caused by Miss Irina and the second son.
For some reason, looking at the other party's expression, Maria, the head maid, suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.
“I haven’t been back for more than a year, so there are some new faces at home.” The young man dusted off the dust on his shoulders, “Hello, my name is Lynn Bartley, and I am the current member of this family. The only reasonable and legal heir, you can call me Master, or you can call me Master Lin En."
Trouble is coming.
Maid Maria suppressed the messy thoughts in her heart and took a deep breath.
"Sorry, I didn't receive a notice from Master Lin En that he was going home." Her voice was very calm, "So before entering, please show something that can prove your identity to avoid causing trouble. Some unnecessary misunderstandings.”
It wasn't that she was deliberately making things difficult, but that she had already sent someone to notify the Mosgra family. It was best to wait for time for someone to come over.
She did not have the authority to deal with Lin En, so she had no choice but to make this decision.
However, Maid Maria seemed to have misjudged one thing.
Hearing her words, Linn sighed for some reason.
"Being polite first and then fighting is really not suitable for me. Forget it, let's not deal with these nonsense." He shook his head and motioned to the border attendants, "Kill them all. No, let's arrest them first. ”
"Then help me ask where Eleanor is now."
(ps: It's the end of the month, family members, remember to give monthly tickets!)
Please give me monthly tickets! ! !
