Prisoner of Mystery Sequence

There was no moonlight tonight, and the arcing crescent moon only lingered in the sky for a little over an hour before disappearing.But in fact, even when the moon is still in the sky today, the faint crimson light is not enough to illuminate the night sky, but the stars appear very bright.

At this time, only the creation of human beings, those different types of lights can solve the lighting problem.

The servant Parker who was guarding the gate of the manor couldn't help but sneezed.

The Earl's family was not at home today, but the manor was still brightly lit, and the male and female servants who could not follow them were busy preparing for the master's return.

Parker didn't need to be involved in these matters today. His only task today was to guard the gate of the manor, and when he found the carriage returned by the owners of the manor, he would inform the other servants in time, so that they were ready to welcome them.

When Mr. Steward left, they asked them not to be too casual, so as not to spoil Mr. Earl's good mood for the day, because the dinner Mr. Earl attended today was extremely important.

Parker couldn't understand the logic between the two, but it didn't matter, he just needed to follow the butler's arrangement.

He looked up at the deserted street, and couldn't help shaking his body, he should put on another coat, he couldn't help thinking.

The weather in Feneport City in October has gradually turned cooler, and the temperature difference between day and night has gradually begun to increase. There is no doubt that the uniform of the servants has become a bit flimsy for such weather.

But this is already considered good, at least he doesn't have to worry about his own livelihood.

He heard that many craftsmen this year, especially the former helpers and apprentices of the guild, were worried about how they would spend this winter, because they were about to lose their jobs this autumn.If you can't find a job that is enough to support your family before winter, you can imagine how hard this winter will be.

Parker looked up again to the end of the street, which was still empty.He sighed a little, he didn't know how long the dinner party would last, so he had to stay here and wait.Otherwise, if he missed it, it would be a trivial matter to be punished by Mr. Earl. Once he lost his job, he, like those craftsmen, would have to worry about this winter.

"Are you waiting for father and the others to come back?" A voice sounded from the side, which made Parker tremble uncontrollably.

He subconsciously turned his gaze to the source of the sound, and saw a girl in a black tunic dress standing under the shadow of the trees. He recognized that it was Miss Agnes, and she was dressed like this when she went out today.

"Miss?" Parker hurriedly bowed, feeling a little strange in his heart.

when did she come backWhere is the carriage?Why didn't I see it myself?

A gust of wind blew past, and Parker couldn't help sneezing.

Parker blushed with embarrassment, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.He basically had no contact with this lady, after all, he was just an ordinary third-class male servant who had just joined the job.He didn't know what kind of person this lady was, and he was a little worried that his rude behavior would attract reprimand.

"You can stay in the room first, father and the others won't be back for a while." Miss Agnes frowned, looking at the street outside with a somewhat empty gaze.

"But, but..." Parker wanted to say that the job that the butler arranged for him tonight was to stay here and wait for the arrival of Mr. Earl, but he felt that he shouldn't say that. Hemmed and hawed, unable to say a complete sentence.

"Forget it, come with me." Agnes turned around and walked in without any room for words. Parker gritted his teeth and followed.

Agnes went straight upstairs to her little study.

"Stay at the door, and don't allow anyone to come in and disturb me until I come out." Agnes ordered casually.

After thinking about it, she added, "If someone ignores your reminder, tell them that they will be at their own risk. Do you understand?"

Parker nodded quickly, and Agnes walked into the study expressionlessly.

The sense of oppression on this young lady was so strong, after Agnes walked in, Parker couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I don't know what this lady is going to do alone.

His position does not allow him to get in touch with the owners of the manor. All his knowledge of these people comes from the private whispers of the maids who are a little bit talkative. He only heard that this lady is a bit weird, not very She likes to serve many people, and only allows servants other than her personal maid to help when it is tedious to groom before a ball or dinner.

Parker felt that this lady was indeed a little weird. He didn't see when this lady came into the manor at all. The interval between his two raising his head did not exceed 1 minute, and this lady came to him. .

Moreover, when he followed the young lady, he also noticed that there were still some strange things about the young lady.He found that this lady...doesn't seem to be wearing shoes, and there is some...smell of blood on her body?

Parker was startled and didn't dare to think about it anymore. He just felt that the brightly lit manor suddenly became dark. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect. He felt that his body seemed to be getting colder and colder.

He lingered in the same place a little uneasy, neither daring to go in nor to leave.

He felt his heart pounding, and his five senses seemed to become more acute, and he could hear Miss Agnes pulling the side table in the room, and then he couldn't hear anything anymore.

After a while, the door behind him was opened, he was startled, turned around quickly, and then smelled something like chamomile hydrosol mixed with nut essential oils, Miss Agnes walked away with a black notebook out.

Through the opened door, he saw that the square table that was originally placed on the side of the room was pulled to the middle of the study, and the vase on it was moved to the desk. It was so clean that there was nothing on it.

"You can leave now. If you still want to guard the gate of the manor, you'd better wear a coat before going out. I don't want anyone to say that the Pagani family treats their servants harshly." He heard Miss Agnes speak Said.

"Yes, yes, I understand, Miss Agnes." Parker quickly nodded and bowed in response.

Agnes frowned, and walked straight to the other side of the corridor, ignoring Parker.

After Agnes left, Parker wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, quickly went downstairs, ran to the servant's room, took a coat, and ran outside the house, feeling a lot more at ease.
