Between people, if they are together, no matter what the nature is, there must be a need relationship. Once one of them is no longer needed, alienation is not far away. Charles has always thought this way. He, Feeney, and Sebastian have such a supply and demand relationship, but Melu is different.
Mei Lu will have everything, he can't think of anything to keep her completely.
However, the maid just smiled and didn't answer his question. She just stepped forward and squatted on the head of his bed, reaching out her hand and lovingly stroking his head.
"Master, let me sing you a lullaby. This time it's a new song. I just remembered it recently."
Recently... just remembered
Before Charles could ask a question, the ethereal singing of the girl had already sounded.
"So the little boy fell asleep peacefully
Sighing sparks sparkling in ashes
one, two
Emerge your countless lovely side faces
Thousands of dreams hang on the earth
In the night where silver pupils flicker
Bright you were born in the world
Even if hundreds of millions of years have turned countless wishes to dust
I will still keep praying
please give love to this child
Leaving hickey marks on the tightly held hands"
wait a minute...
Charles really wanted to interrupt, wanted to continue talking, he had many questions to ask Melu, but his consciousness gradually sank in the singing.
"I will still continue to pray, please give love to this child, and leave a hickey on the tightly held hands." The soothing singing finally stopped at this time, and the boy had already fallen into a deep sleep.
The maid squatted on the bedside and watched him tenderly. She reached out her hand again, gently parted the boy's bangs to reveal his smooth forehead, and stroked the center of the forehead twice with her soft fingers.
Soon, a golden gleam that only Mei Lu could see appeared from the young man's forehead, the light dissipated, and a golden hickey was imprinted on the young man's forehead. After the hickey appeared, it even faintly suppressed the devil's contract engraved in the boy's right eye.
The maid's finger touched the center of her eyebrows lightly, and her blue eyes saw such a scene through countless time and space - Shire in the parallel world met a person, that person's figure was blurred no matter how hard Melu tried, But she could see the interaction between that person and Charles. When the two parted, the vague figure bent down and gave the young man a forehead kiss. Since then, the golden hickey has been branded down.
"I found it." The maid murmured softly, retracted her fingers and looked at him quietly, "Master, you always say you don't believe in God, but this time, you are favored."
As if protesting her words, the sleepy teenager frowned, which drew a chuckle from the maid.
She stood up from the head of the bed, and bent over to press a kiss on the young man's forehead where the hickey was.
"You will be happy, sure."
Looking at the boy who raised his eyebrows again, the maid smiled and turned to leave.
The candles in the bedroom were extinguished one by one, and finally plunged into darkness.
Snapped!
Early in the morning, loud applause sounded in the hall of the mansion, and all the servants standing below fell silent.
Master Mei Lu disappeared, and she disappeared without a trace overnight. After searching to no avail, the young master slapped his deacon hard.
"You knew it a long time ago!" He glared at him fiercely, "You knew she would leave a long time ago, so you stopped all actions against her, right?"
Bearing the slap, the devil's expression remained unchanged. He just looked at the master who lost his composure and reminded him gently: "Are you sure you want to lose your temper on this occasion?"
Charles just woke up like a dream, glanced at the worried and flustered face below, gritted his teeth, turned and went to his study, and his deacon followed him very consciously.
When the two of them left, the servants were also in chaos.
"What should I do? Why did Master Melu leave suddenly!"
"I don't believe it! Why did she leave!"
"What happened, who can tell me what happened?"
No matter how confused Feeney and the others were, in the study, Charles sat on a chair and looked at Sebastian coldly. There was still an opened farewell letter on his desk.
"As for Ms. Mei Lu's identity, doesn't the young master really have no guesses about the identity of such a smart person?" That's what the deacon said.
The ability to be proficient in almost all skills, and many technologies that have obviously crossed the era, just like the time she performed the operation on Mrs. Hong, it has already shown that she is not simple, and...
"Inferior."
She was in a condescending posture among the dolls kneeling on the ground.
The answer is ready to come.
"Obviously mine..." Charles clenched his fists, "She clearly said that I am her everything."
"She did say so." Sebastian was very calm, "However, she never made promises like [will always be by your side] and [never leave you]."
"That is to say, when she voluntarily leaves the house and leaves you, you are no longer her master." The deacon slowly explained to the master, "Since you are not her master, it is only natural that you will not give everything, right? ?”
There was one sentence that he kept hidden, but the two of them knew it well—it wasn't like they made a contract to get the service of the devil at the cost of their souls.
Seeing Xin Xin on the table, Charles gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly, but the deacon just smiled slightly when he saw this.
"Master, didn't you always think about why such a capable maid like Mei Lu was displaced... Now, you should have the answer in your heart, right?"
The handsome demon whispered with a smile on his lips, but the young earl shrank his pupils.
Gentleness is true, loyalty is also true, and all the care and dedication so far have not been adulterated. Even the current Shire cannot refute that she is an angel. But once you really put your heart down and hug her, the end may not be happy and warm, on the contrary, it is very likely to fall into the cold abyss.
After all, angels will only show up temporarily to help human beings, and most of the time, the object of her lifelong service will always be her god.
"Sebastian." He took a deep breath, and after a while, Charles finally controlled his emotions and called the deacon's name.
"I am here."
"I order you, and only you, absolutely not to allow betrayal, and not to leave my side!" From today on, he will never become weak because of anyone again.
When the young man said these words, his eyes became cold and decisive again. He didn't have so much time to be sad and angry for anyone's departure. He still had a lot to do, just like the reminder given to him at the end of this letter , How to test that suspicious Queen's deacon is the key point... Yes, he still has a lot to do.
"Yes, my lord."
The deacon in black bowed his shoulders and bowed his head in salute, the corners of his lips were slightly parted at an angle that the master could not see.
Yes, that's right, sir.
Abandon all weakness and hope, and only rely on him to move on, proudly, aloofly, step by step into the abyss.
He will always be by his side and watch such a figure until the very end.
...
Corpse world.
Seireitei, a settlement of great nobles, a house of dead wood.
This is a large courtyard with a large area, with many houses and many servants, and various gardens are interspersed in it, showing the style of a master with rich heritage. Among them, in a courtyard where the direct descendants lived, a burst of violent female coughing sounded continuously from the main house of the courtyard.
"Fei Zhen, your body is just in good shape, why did you run to Liuhun Street again when you were disobedient?" A man's complaint followed, the tone said to be reprimand, but more worried and distressed.
"I'm sorry... ahem, Lord Byakuya... but, ahem, I still can't help but want to find her..." The weak female voice responded weakly, "When I think about Rukia... ahem, I'm still suffering there, I Just... cough cough cough cough!"
"Crimson!"
When there was some confusion in the closed room, there was a knock on the door outside: "Master, madam, I have brought the medicine."
"Hurry up and send it in!" Kuchiki Byakuya said immediately.
The shoji door was pulled open immediately, and a girl kneeling outside the door with a tray lowered her head and brought in the medicine, and then skillfully poured out the medicine juice. When she walked over with the medicine bowl on her knees, Bai Zai also instinctively got out of the way position, watching the maid professionally lift up the patient and pour the medicine into her.
After drinking the medicine, Kuchiki Feizhen's cough finally got better, at least it wasn't so severe.
And Kuchiki Byakuya, the head of the four great nobles in the world of corpses and souls, and the twenty-eighth generation head of the Kuchiki family looked at the maid who was taking care of his wife in a complicated way. The girl was wearing a lavender kimono and an apron, golden Like other maids, her long hair was coiled up for the convenience of work, but such an old-fashioned dress did not conceal her exquisite beauty. At this time, the girl was carefully helping his wife tuck the corners of the quilt.
The reason why Bai Zai felt complicated was nothing else. This girl named Mei Lu was the maid brought back by his wife after searching for her sister in Liuhun Street but failed.
That time, Feizhen was disobedient and sneaked away to look for her sister, but she fell ill halfway. If it wasn't for Meilu who rescued her halfway, it would have been a disaster. The wife was grateful for the life-saving grace, so she took her out of Ruhun Street and lived in Seireitei, where only nobles and gods of death are qualified to stay, and served as her personal maid.
It has been three months now.
"Master Patriarch!" Someone outside the house shouted again, "Master Yinling has something to discuss with you."
When he heard that his grandfather had summoned him, Bai Zai hesitated for a moment, then looked at his wife.
"Please don't worry, I'm much better now." Lying on the bed, Fei Zhen comforted her husband with a smile, "It's important, you should go to Lord Yin Ling."
Feizhen is not an aristocrat, but a commoner in Ruhun Street. When they fell in love and got married, many people in the family objected, but Kuchiki Byakuya still faced all the blame for his wife and did not hesitate to break the rules to marry him into the family. In the future, he can no longer do things as he wants, and he must follow the rules in every move.
Bai Zai left, only Fei Zhen and Mei Lu stayed in the house.
"Ma'am, it took three months to recuperate your body, and you were disobedient and directly defeated." While packing up the medicine bowl, the maid seemed to say something casually.
The housewife who was sleeping in the bed shrank back guiltily: "I'm sorry Meilu...cough cough, I have wasted all your hard work for three months."
"My hard work is nothing." Putting the packed tray aside, the blond-haired, blue-eyed maid sat on the side, looking at her worriedly, "I'm just afraid that Madam's health will continue to deteriorate, so Not only will I be sad, but the Patriarch will also be sad."
"I know, but..." Kuchiki Feima lowered his eyelids, his face was full of sadness. This was her crime back then, and the crime of abandoning her infant sister to escape has been tormenting her all the time.
"Since you can't let it go like this." The maid leaned over, took her hand that was unconsciously clenched tightly on the corner of the quilt, and looked at her seriously, "Let me go out and search for you, your sister, Lu Qi Miss Ya."
