Ai Tina returned to the room with the help of the maid. She sat on a chair, next to which was the coffee table where the tea set was usually placed.
She collapsed in the chair, lying on her side on the coffee table, and the bone china tea set on the table was swept to the floor by Adina.
The maid quickly went to get a broom to clean up the porcelain fragments at the scene. While the maid was cleaning, Adina stood up behind the maid.
"I'm sorry." Adina thought to herself.
She picked up a wooden chair and hit the maid on the back of the head, and the maid fell to the ground fainting with a bang.
Adina simply knocked the maid unconscious and temporarily put her in the closet.
Adina took out the long rope from under the bed, tied it to the bed frame, and threw the other end out of the window.
A pair of shoes were placed casually under the window, creating the illusion that she was escaping through the window.
She dyed her hair black with ink and changed into the maid outfit she had prepared in advance.
Everything is ready, now all she needs to do is avoid being discovered.
She quietly walked out of the door and sneaked all the way to the rooftop. She lowered her head and walked past a team of patrolling guards as if nothing had happened. Everything seemed to be going according to her plan.
She walked up the long spiral staircase all the way to the top of the castle, and soon she came to the room that no one had ever approached.
Abel discovered that Adina had deliberately left the door open, pushed it open and found Adina in disguise. All this made Abel feel a little unnatural, but he still immediately sent people to search the castle, and pulled out the maid who had fainted in the closet and handed her over to the servants to take care of.
With his keen intuition, Abel sensed that Adina should still be in the castle, so he followed the smell of red wine on Adina's body.
When Abel reached the spiral staircase, his face changed drastically and he ran up quickly.
"No, no, no, don't open the door." Abel shouted hurriedly.
At this time, Adina was ready to insert the key into the keyhole and then turn the key to open the wooden door, but she heard Abel's panicked cry.
This made Adina, who was already a little panicked, even more flustered. In a panic, Adina lost her grip on the keys in her hand and they fell to the ground with a clang.
There was no window in front of this wooden door, and it was difficult to pick up the key in the dim light.
Adina was so frightened that her face turned pale. She squatted on the ground, groping with her hands for the key that she didn't know where she had dropped.
Abel walked out of the stairs, and the key fell in front of him. He picked up the key and walked to Aitina and said,
"I found you, Miss Adina."
Adina hid in the corner, not daring to make a sound. She just hoped that Abel could pretend not to see what she had done today.
Abel pulled Adina up from the ground, and then walked down from there step by step with Adina.
When they turned a corner, Abel excitedly said to the pale-faced Aitina, "Do you know that you almost killed yourself?"
Abel pushed Adina against the wall, grabbed her wrist, and leaned his body forward, giving her a sense of oppression.
"Do you know you will die?" Abel said angrily.
Adina quickly shook her head. Her previous behavior was like that of a madman, and she had never regained her rationality.
Looking back, she even felt that she had become cruel, for she had hurt an innocent maid.
"Mr. Abel, ever since I came to this castle, I have been having a nightmare. A strange and terrifying dream."
Adina said in panic.
Abel raised his index finger and placed it to Aitina's mouth.
"Don't talk about this topic anymore, understand? Remember, don't go in there!"
Adina blinked to show that she understood.
But the problem of mumbling has not been solved yet. Those crazy thoughts are just lurking in her mind.
And Hohen would be back in one day.
Abel took Adina back to her room.
Adina sat on the bed, and Abel moved a chair and sat opposite her.
Adina sat up straight and clasped her hands on her knees.
Abel ruffled his hair, not knowing where to start or what to say.
Abel took a deep breath and said slowly, "Tell me about your dream first."
Adina nodded and described everything in the dream word by word, including the crazy and evil mutterings.
Abel's expression changed from gloomy to bright, especially when he heard about the wooden coffin.
Abel stretched out his right hand and pointed at the ceiling, saying, "Your dream is right there."
This way of describing would not attract the attention of the technique and notify Hohen.
"If you open the door, you will become one of them." Abel said solemnly.
Aitina understood the deep meaning of Abel's words and was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. But she thought of a doubt, so she asked,
"Then why me? Why didn't Mr. Abel stop him when he knew this might happen?"
"I can't tell you. If I tell you, he'll know." Abel looked at Aitina sincerely and shook his head.
"Ms. Aitina, I need you to understand that I want freedom more than you do."
"I have endured for more than two hundred years. I have even surpassed the limits of human life. As you can see, I am still in my thirties. I have always wanted to leave him and gain true freedom, but he is too terrible. Do you understand?"
Abel said a long string of words that Aitina couldn't understand, but he still talked to himself.
"His evil is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. He even wants to get in touch with something more evil than himself, such as the gaze that appeared in your dream. And he needs six girls with special spiritual powers to accomplish this. I can't just watch six girls sacrifice in vain, so I participated in this game, and the last chips in my hand are my own life and you."
Although Adina could only half-understand Abel's words, she still chose to believe what Abel said.
"Mr. Abel, I can't understand everything you said, but I am willing to believe you. What should I do next?"
"Stay here, and when you grow up, you and I will be free. Then you just need to leave a note for your little lover to explain where you are going, understand?"
Abel said.
"It turns out that Mr. Abel has already thought about what I should do in the future. I really am doing this in vain." Aitina thought to herself.
Adina stood up and bowed to the butler Abel to express her gratitude, and at the same time felt guilty for what she had done today.
"Stay still and don't go up. If his ritual succeeds, we will have nowhere to go."
Abel said tiredly.
What happened today made him break out in a cold sweat.
"Oh? How come there is no way to go? Tell me."
