What we love, we will always destroy on something.

—George R.R. Martin, Game of Thrones

Betty got her wish and waited until her fiancé, dear Delin.

Delin seemed smaller among boys of the same age, and he was a little taller in front of Betty, but it didn't matter, because he was very handsome, the priests thought it was a face kissed by God, and his green eyes revealed When she is angry, her long eyelashes are also very beautiful.

Betty liked Delin's face very much, beautiful like the gods she could only see in those old Greek paintings.

God, this man must be the favor you bestowed on me, Betty blushed and shyly followed Delin.

Delin just greeted Betty and followed the Duke of Ryanst into the study of the Duke of Kent.

Betty looked angrily at Delin ignoring her and entering the study, feeling a burst of anger in her heart.

Dear Dorin what is he doing? !He actually ignored his fiancée Betty, he didn't even invite me to a dance!

Betty was very sad, picked up her skirt and ran to the back garden.

"Hey, pretty lady, it's rude to run around with your skirts on. Do you need any help?" Standing in the garden was a tall and tall figure, wearing a black suit and two long black hats. Purple feathers.

Betty didn't expect that there were guests in the back garden, and they were members of the Ryanste family!God!She was ashamed!She will definitely be laughed at by the Ryanster family!Delin will know about it!She will be rejected by the Ryanste family as Mrs. Ryanste!

Betty's face was as pale as paper for a moment, and the black suit slowly turned around to look at Betty. Betty's heart fluttered. She stared blankly at the black suit with beautiful blue eyes. She was sure that it was an Apollo God's handsome face.

The black suit calmly looked at Betty in a daze, and Betty realized her faux pas. She turned her head in remorse, damn it, how could I lose my mind in front of men other than Delin.

The black suit bent down and handed the silk scarf to Betty: "You really don't need any help? Pretty lady."

"Betty! You are here!" Delin found Betty when she was about to take the silk scarf. Betty took a step back and smiled at the black suit: "I don't need any help now, thank you very much."

Betty quickly walked towards Delin with small steps. Delin glanced at Betty, confirmed that she was fine, and turned to look at the black suit.

The black suit just raised the corners of his mouth at Delin, smiled decently, turned and left.

"Derlin, is that someone from your family?" Betty asked cautiously.

"No, he doesn't have the medal of Ryan St. on his brooch." Delin asked Betty: "Isn't he from your castle?"

Very good!As long as it's not from the Ryanste family!Betty was overjoyed in her heart, and said indiscriminately: "It should be the new bartender today. My father seemed to tell me last night that our family is going to have a bartender."

In fact, Betty didn't know what a bartender was at all, so she just found an excuse to evade it. Whatever happened to him, as long as the scene of his gaffe just now wasn't seen by the Ryanste family, it didn't matter who he was from the castle.

Delin just glanced at Betty suspiciously, and without thinking too much, he took Betty on his arm and danced together on the dance floor.

Betty listened attentively to the compliments on how well they were so well-matched, and felt a sense of pride that no one was more worthy of Derlin than she was, and Derlin and she were the brightest couple on the dance floor.

Delin is always so rational and quiet, and Betty likes that he is always a gentleman and quiet, no matter what he hears, he will not change.But tonight, Delin always seems to be distracted. For example, Delin, who should be looking at her at this time, is looking elsewhere!Betty looked at Delin angrily, but Delin was still absent-minded.

"Delin, what happened?" Betty looked at Delin.

"What? Oh, sorry, I apologize for my rudeness, Betty." Delin looked at Betty apologetically.

Betty knew that she should be a lady now, and forgave him tolerantly. Men like women who are considerate, and doing this at this time can win Delin's favor even more. But Betty was still very angry, so she just insisted on dancing. Dancing did not respond to Delin.

Delin deeply apologized for this, and did not lose his mind.

After a dance, Betty felt even more sad. Delin at the banquet let her down so much. Why didn't Delin care so much about her? Was it because he wasn't good enough to please him?

God, why did I lose my composure just now? In front of my dear Delin, Betty walked to the French window remorsefully with a glass of wine.

The moon outside the window was shining with silver light, looking cold and bright, Betty felt that Delin was just like that moon, beautiful and indifferent.

Delin saw the handsome black suit in the garden again, and he watched the black suit slowly stepping towards him, his legs lined by the suit pants were straight and slender.

The black suit held champagne and lightly touched the wine glass in Delin's hand: "Your female partner looks distressed."

Delin still stood, looking towards Betty: "Thank you for reminding me."

The black suit smiled slyly: "Men are always like this. Once they are sure that this woman will not leave themselves, they will feel bored."

Delin looked at the black suit: "Maybe, she's just my sister. My name is Delin, what about you?"

"Jess, I'm sorry young master, I have to go." The black suit beckoned to Delin, and slowly walked towards the crowd.

Delin raised his wine glass and toasted Jess's distant figure, took a sip of the wine in the glass, put it on the maid's plate, and walked slowly towards Betty.

Betty took a sip of the wine in the glass, thinking about how to restore her image in front of Delin later.

"Betty." Delin stood behind Betty.

"Oh, Delin, I... I'm sorry I didn't respond to your apology just now." Betty lowered her head, and the blue gemstones on her beautiful sideburns were shining beautifully.

"Ah, it should be my fault. I lost my mind. Will you forgive me?"

"Of course!"

Betty was very happy, it turned out that Delin was not angry with her.Oh her derin was such a gentleman and so gentle to her.

Betty happily attended the dinner, and everyone stayed in Kent Castle.

Betty was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep. Her Delin was sleeping in the room next to her!Mammy frowned and said to Betty: "Hey, my angel, you shouldn't be so excited before going to bed. A lady should close her eyes quietly at this time."

Betty thought that Mammy would definitely watch her fall asleep peacefully, and now she couldn't show any special excitement, she could only close her eyes and fall asleep peacefully as Mammy said.

After making sure that Betty was asleep, Mammy left gently holding the candle, and then slowly closed the tall door.

Betty opened her eyes almost instantly, she was so excited, how could she be able to fall asleep, oh my god, is her Delin so excited that she can't fall asleep, oh my god, she really wants to sing a song.

But Betty couldn't sing, so she could only quietly stand up and walk to the window, a black shadow wearing a silver mask stood in front of her bookshelf, Betty stared in surprise and fear: "Who are you?!"

The black mist covered the silver moon, Delin couldn't sleep for some reason, just sat at the table and looked out the window.

"Master, are you going to sleep?" The deacon asked standing aside.

"Yeah." Delin asked the deacon to change his clothes, lay on the bed and watched the deacon go away.

Early the next morning, everyone woke up to the scream of the maid, and Betty disappeared!

The castle of Kent was in such a panic that the Duke of Kent got up in the morning wearing his brooch awry.Delin stood in Betty's room looking for clues carefully.

The maids were busy delivering water to Mrs. Kent's smelling salts, and the ladies whose heart couldn't bear it put their hands on their heads one after another, pretending to faint.

Betty, who was in the next room last night, has been very quiet, wait, "Who opened this window?" Delin asked.

"This window was still closed before I left." Mammy was so frightened that her hands were shaking all the time, and it seemed that she would faint in a second.

Delin walked to the window and looked out the window. Betty's room was only on the second floor of the castle, with the back garden below.

Delin suddenly asked: "Jess, is there a new bartender Jess in your castle?"

The Duke of Kent's complexion was extremely bad: "No, there is no new bartender in our castle, and there is no servant named Jess."

Delin frowned, why did Betty lie to him last night, was she threatened by Jess?

"Last night, Betty was in the back garden with a guy named Jess in a black suit, and Betty said he was the new bartender at the castle, and it didn't look like any of you knew him. Well, who was last night Ever seen a handsome man in a suit with a purple feather on his hat?" Delin asked everyone behind him.

A young lady timidly stepped forward, a member of the Ryanste family, Delin's cousin Dai Jia: "Last night, I seemed to have danced with the gentleman you described."

Because that gentleman was so handsome, everyone thought he was a distant relative of the Ryanster family or the Kent family.

"And after the dance?"

"He said goodbye to me and walked towards the back garden."

Delin looked at the footprints on the window sill, it seemed that someone entered Betty's room from here and went out from here.

Under everyone's surprised eyes, Delin rolled down the window and landed in the back garden.

"Derlin! It's too rude!" Duke Ryanst accused Delin.

"Oh, my God, my God!" Mrs. Ryan was so surprised that she was about to faint.

Some young ladies thought that Delin looked very cool, with a slight blush on his face.

Delin didn't care about the people upstairs. He looked at the roses on the ground. Kent Castle had always only planted white camellias. There could be no red roses. It seemed that someone brought them here specially.

Delin picked up the rose and found that there was a delicate little card under the rose, which said in Latin: "I will dedicate this beautiful angel to God."

With an extremely ugly face, Delin said to the worried people upstairs: "It's Ben who specializes in attacking beautiful young people and children."

There was a sudden silence upstairs, and then there was the sound of Mrs. Kent fainting from grief, some fainted ladies and maids looking for smelling salts.

The Duke of Kent thumped the window sill with his hands: "Damn Ben! Delin, Duke Ryanst, can you help catch him together? I must throw this beast into the oil pan and tell him to suffer taste!"

"Don't worry, we will." The Duke of Ryanstead supported the Duke of Kent.

Delin looked down at the card in his hand, and looked around for possible clues.

But in the back garden, except for the rose and the exquisite bronzing card, there is nothing extra, it looks the same as usual.

Delin lowered his head and thought, the Duke of Kent and the Duke of Ryanst also came down: "How is it? Did you find anything new?"

"No."

Duke Ryanst bent down and rubbed Delin's head: "It's okay, leave it to us, the police officer and Mr. Detective will be here soon."

"No, I was thinking, Ben likes beautiful young people and children very much. After Betty disappeared, I should be the most beautiful young man in the castle. He noticed me last night and talked to me."

The Duke of Ryanstead and the Duke of Kent realized what Delin was going to do, and they looked at Delin with panicked faces: "No! My God! What are you thinking! We will never let you take risks! You today You must leave the castle at night!"

"But, I can save Betty! Betty will be killed by Ben if she is not found after tonight! Ben will only keep his prey for one day until he finds a new one!"

"That's not okay! If Ben can't find the prey, he may keep Betty, but if you are also caught, you can't save Betty! You are harming her!" The Duke of Ryanst looked very angry, his chest Breathing heavily up and down.

"I can do it, trust me, father!" Delin looked at Duke Ryanst seriously.

"No, we can't promise you to take risks! We will find out where Ben is hiding right away!" The Duke of Kent promised Durin seriously.

Delin lowered his head and said nothing.

Angrily, the Duke of Ryanst called for the deacon to immediately prepare a carriage and send Delin out of the castle to take refuge in the manor in the west.

"There will be absolutely no demon Ben there, and you will be safe." Duke Ryanst looked at Delin in the carriage.
