Grand Duke Moville, his mind was in turmoil.
The old hand gently placed on the scepter beside him, and the big palm touched the top of the scepter, the exquisitely carved scaly snake head. The thumb gently stroked the scaly snake and the gray vertical pupil eyes.
Wen Xinya unexpectedly glanced at the vertical pupils of the scaly snake. When her eyes met those vertical pupils, Wen Xinya's whole body seemed to be stared at by something, cold, eerie, vicious, cold-blooded, and ruthless...
She was completely immersed in a negative emotion and kept shivering.
Is this the legendary majesty of vertical pupils
It can make people feel fear of being stared at, succumb to the aura of vertical pupils, lose the ability to think, lose all ability to move, and become prey to be slaughtered at will.
Si Yiyan held her hand and smiled softly, "The scepter of Grand Duke Moville is the symbol of authority of the Moville family. Have you seen the vertical pupils of the scaly snake? The pupils in the eyes are made of a kind of crystal stone that is unique to Europe. Looking at it will make people feel terrified. This kind of crystal stone grows mostly in dark places. It is a special substance produced by the burning of phosphorus fire. After special processing, it forms a crystal stone. This kind of technology is only available in the Moville family."
Si Yiyan must have noticed her abnormality, so he talked about the origin of the scaly snake's vertical pupils as if he was chatting with her.
Wen Xinya calmed down a little and looked towards the scaly snake's eyes. As expected, she saw the gray crystal eyes. She couldn't help but laugh: "It's really magical. This is the first time I've heard of a crystal that can make people feel fearful. No wonder I felt short of breath and full of negative emotions when I looked at it just now."
Phosphorus stone also has a very popular superstitious name, which is ghost fire. It mainly appears in dark burial grounds. To put it bluntly, it mainly appears in places where there are dead people. This crystal stone is the substance produced by the burning of phosphorus fire. No wonder it gives people such a bad feeling.
The Moville family used this crystal stone to emphasize their authority and power. She really didn't know what to say. She just felt that this method was somewhat charlatan-like. She heard that in the mythology of Western countries, the God of Light also liked to use the same method to show his power.
They are all the same charlatans.
Grand Duke Moville's expression was slightly stiff, and there was an ambiguous look on his old face: "Rex is indeed knowledgeable and well-informed. He even knows such a little secret of our Moville family clearly."
This matter was unknown to many nobles in Country E. How did Rex know about it? Could it be that Lucifer's power was strong enough to infiltrate the Duke of Moville's Mansion
Moville's mind was in turmoil, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
Si Yiyan smiled faintly and said, "It's just that I was very interested in this kind of crystal stone before, so I studied it a bit. I can't say I'm knowledgeable."
Wen Xinya's gaze was still fixed on the scaly snake's eyes. Now that she knew the reason, she had overcome her fear. Although the pair of vertical pupils looked scary, they did not scare Wen Xinya. It was indeed a trick.
Wen Xinya reached out to pick up the teacup. Si Yiyan's eyes sank slightly. Seeing her somewhat unnatural movements, he reached out and held her hand, gently lifting it up. The wide sleeve on her arm revealed the horrifying scar.
Even Grand Duke Moville was startled, and a bad premonition spread in his heart. Although the wound was only about ten centimeters to one decimeter long, it was obviously a whip mark. It was impossible for her to hurt herself. Considering her horse racing with Aurora, it was easy to guess that the injury must be related to Aurora.
Aurora is in trouble.
"How did you get hurt?" His words were filled with a strong sense of danger, and his voice was full of irresistible tones.
His eyes were fixed on the wound on her forearm. Her delicate skin was countless times better than that of a well-maintained woman. This was a direct result of a bloodstain that was almost one finger long and one finger wide. It was even more shocking. The outer flesh was already broken, revealing bloody and blurry flesh. The bleeding had stopped, but the skin around it was red and swollen. Her forearm was originally slender, and at first glance, it looked as if the entire forearm was swollen, which was very scary.
He had always taken good care of her, and her skin was naturally sensitive. Even the smallest injury would become very serious if not handled carefully, so even when they were in love, he tried his best not to damage her skin.
Moreover, she was very delicate. Whenever she got a bruise on her body, she would frown and cry out in pain to him with tears in her eyes. Despite such a serious injury, she remained silent and endured until now, without even a trace of unnaturalness on her face, so he didn't even notice it.
Grand Duke Moville said quickly: "I didn't expect Miss Bella to be injured in the Duke's Mansion. It was our Duke's Mansion that neglected her. I will ask the doctor to come and check on Miss Bella." After that, he quickly instructed the maid beside him.
Si Yiyan ignored it. Grand Duke Moville held her hand tightly and asked, "How did you get hurt?"
Wen Xinya knew that Si Yiyan was really angry, and hurriedly said, "I was accidentally injured when I was competing with Miss Aurora just now." Looking at Si Yiyan's constantly changing eyes, like ink splashing on a painting, changing from light gray to dark gray, light black, dark black, and ink black, she added, "My injury is not that serious. Miss Aurora's injury is more serious than mine. She fell off her horse and sprained her foot."
What I mean is, I didn’t suffer any loss!
But Si Yiyan was still very unhappy, and looked at her with his lips tightly pursed.
"Impossible! I was the one who taught Aurora how to ride. How could she fall off her horse? How badly is she injured?" Grand Duke Moville's face suddenly darkened. It was just a horse race, but both parties were injured. Aurora even fell off her horse. He couldn't believe that there was no trick involved.
Aurora's riding skills have always been excellent, and the horse "Snow White" was given to Aurora by him. It was not only docile, but also had excellent speed. How could she fall off the horse? This must have something to do with Miss Bella.
Wen Xinya seemed to be frightened by Grand Duke Moville. She huddled in Si Yiyan's arms and trembled: "I... I don't know what happened to Aurora's horse. It refused to run and was a little irritable. The flaming horse I rode overtook Miss Aurora and reached the finish line first. Then I don't know what happened, she fell off the horse." She licked her dry lips and continued: "Although Miss Aurora fell off the horse, she was not really injured. She just twisted her foot. It's not serious."
Then, as if she was really scared, she rubbed Si Yiyan's chest and said, "If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have agreed when Miss Aurora insisted on dragging me to compete in horse racing. If Aurora is really hurt, I will be really guilty."
