Tianjin people will never lose SAN

Chapter 82 Deer and Mask
The old butler closed the door of the rehearsal room, tucked the wooden box containing the mirror under his arm, and walked calmly into the depths of the manor.

He walked slowly and carefully. The things in the wooden box were too important. They were related to the love, hatred and hatred of three generations of the Ship family. He would never allow himself to be harmed.

The deeper you go into the manor, the fewer guests there are.

This is normal, as the front hall is where guests come to have fun, and there are some places they can't get into even if they want to.

He did not stop to turn on the lights along the way, because more than 40 years of life made him extremely familiar with every inch of the manor. He also did not stop to greet the gatekeepers hiding in the dark. Everyone in the manor knew him and respected him, and no one asked where he was going or what he was doing.

All this was thanks to Ken's grandfather Steerforth. At that time, Ken was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was recommended to the Ship family as a gardener.

At that time, Ship Manor was even larger than it is now and was built in a small town around the Sabines Forest.

Master Steerforth was a few years older than herself at the time, but he was already a prominent figure in Caldershire. He was handsome, came from a prominent family, and was very popular in the school in Newlund. All the girls in Caldershire were crazy about him.

The old butler walking in the corridor sighed softly, and an illusory smile appeared on his face, as if the afterglow brought to him by Master Steerforth's brilliant youth had not yet faded.

One day, Master Steerforth came back late and I opened the door for him. I don't know how, but from then on I became his personal attendant. Oh, it was such an honor. Every day, a silly boy with muddy hands could go in and out of those upper-class places that he had never dared to think about.

Although Master Steerforth is extremely charming, he also has some minor flaws. But so what? There is no perfect person in this world, and he is not a saint in the canon of saints.

He likes to chase the best things and enjoy the excitement, but he will easily get bored after a while.

At that time, he was obsessed with an opera actress named Medeas. Although she had just debuted and could only perform on some small stages, all the managers who had seen her performance said that she would definitely be a future star in the musical theater world.

And Master Steerforth wanted to pick this brightest morning star. He had all kinds of tricks, and I did a lot of running errands for him at that time. It was really interesting. The old butler stood in the corridor for more than ten seconds and was also amused by his own madness at that time.

The end result was that Master Steerforth dominated the front page of Caldershire that week.

"The eldest son of the Heep family, the young talent Steerforth and the rising star Medeas, a match made in heaven that only exists in fairy tales"

Yes, he succeeded, just like in the past, anything that interested him would never escape his grasp.

The wedding day was extremely lively. He was the coachman at the wedding, and celebrities from all over Caldershire came to congratulate him. At the wedding, Steerforth also announced a major news.

Medeas will not retire, and the Ship family will continue to spend a lot of money to support her acting career.

Sounds good, right? I thought so at the time. The old housekeeper walked past a windowsill and gently picked up a fallen petal. The petal had begun to wither as soon as it left the bud.

What a pity! Beautiful things can never stay in the moment of blooming. Sooner or later they will decay and wither.

I don't know when after their marriage, their relationship began to take a sharp turn for the worse. In fact, the housekeeper had foreseen this. Master Steerforth might not love anyone, but the feeling of competing for and possessing beautiful things.

Just two years after his marriage, he found new pleasures.

But this time he already had a wife. Medeas cried every day. She watched her husband bring different women into the manor every night, but she could do nothing.

From then on, drama became her only support, and only on the stage could she be free from her neurotic doubts.

The old butler used the key to unlock a heavy iron door, which was where he stored the ritual items for the young master. Mystic scholar, hey, this was probably the reason why the two had a big fight and finally broke up.

The old butler leaned over and touched a smooth skull on the shelf with his hand, his eyes full of fear and nostalgia.

He was also terrified when he first found out about it. After seeing those horrifying things, he finally figured out where the Ship family's inexhaustible wealth came from.

But he soon calmed down. What did it matter? Master Steerforth would never use these horrible things on himself.

I am on his side, the most reliable and loyal servant.

Maybe before that, I was an honest person with a conscience, but so what? Most people in this world still divide people into insiders and outsiders, not good people and bad people.

I am just one of the countless people in the world, and everything I do is understandable.

From then on, he drove a carriage with Master Steerforth to travel around. For more than a year, Mosesad left his romantic deeds everywhere. He seemed unable to stop. The more he conquered, the more unsatisfied he became. The more unsatisfied he became, the more he looked for unattainable goals.

Finally, two years later, I brought him back to the starting point, Calder County.

But...something happened that was unexpected to both Master Steerforth and himself: Medeas had an affair.

They thought they had done it perfectly, but they underestimated the power of the Ship family. They had many friends who were mystics, and those guys were very evil. Ordinary people's little secrets couldn't be kept secret for long.

Even the person Medeas cheated with was a mystic.

Master Steerforth had just returned to the manor for three days when the information about Medeas and that man was placed on his desk.

I still remember that it was a sunny day, but the young master's hands were shaking, not only because the other party was just an ugly monster who dared not show his face, a bug who could not stand the light, but also because Medeas actually gave birth to a child for him!

This was a great humiliation, absolutely a great humiliation for the Ship family. The young master smashed the crystal antler statue on the table to pieces.

It was a birthday present his mother gave him when he was 18.

He didn't care about Medeas as a person. He cared about his own dignity that was trampled underfoot and the honor of the Ship family that could not be tarnished.

So, one day when Medeas was performing, he cleverly used a little forbidden magic and easily caught the adulterer hiding behind the scenes.

Master Steerforth had thrown down the gauntlet, a duel between occultists, a commonplace one.

It’s just…if chaos is the innate potential of all mystics, then what happened after the fight was simply a bloody storm of chaotic madness.
