nebula story

"I think this servant is very smart and sensible, why don't you ask Lord Baron to give it to my dog."

Looking at the distinguished guest in front of him in astonishment, Young Master Andy was a little dazed.

This man wants to take away his little servant as soon as he comes up. What does this mean?

Regardless of his father's stern gaze drifting over, Andy frowned, but couldn't help opening his mouth: "Dear Lord Earl, my servant is not only stupid, but also a little bit dumb. There are many people in the manor who are smarter and more sensible than him." As for the servant, you can choose a few more!"

As if finally waking up from the daze, Chesu looked dazedly at the young master beside him who was standing upright, and didn't know what happened for a while.But almost at the same time, his innate sense of unknown danger had already made him take a step back quietly, hiding his body behind the young master, just like any humble and timid servant, he lowered his eyelashes and avoided the road in front of him. His shadow-like, awl-like gaze.

Smiling slightly, ignoring Young Master Andy's words at all, Earl Wainwright only looked back at Baron Hall behind him: "My son doesn't seem to be willing to part with you?"

After a little hesitation, Baron Hall looked at the surprised and dissatisfied face of his always arrogant third son, knowing that Andy had always liked his little servant, so he could not help but smile cautiously: "Yes, Lord Earl, the pariah beside him It's true that my brain is not very bright, why don't I pick a few older ones to give to your son..."

Arrogantly intercepting his cautious words, Earl Wainwright raised his bald forehead and lowered his voice, but it was extraordinarily gloomy and clear in this well-dressed banquet: "No, I want this one. —I like younger ones."

Taking a step forward, he involuntarily caressed little Chesu's face with his cold fingers, lingering for a while before retracting.Dodging back in astonishment, little Chesu couldn't avoid his touch, her bright eyes suddenly widened.

Suddenly raising his arm quickly, he frowned and wiped his face with his sleeve that was touched just now!

There was a moment of gloom in Earl Wainwright's eyes, but Baron Hall was stunned after thinking about what he said just now: He, he likes it? !

Looking suspiciously at the beautiful face of the little servant next to his son with red lips and white teeth, Baron Hall's heart tightened, and he vaguely remembered some lewd rumors about the earl's private life among the nobles of the empire.

Hurriedly and quietly filling his face with a smile, Baron Hall nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, no problem, when you set off to go back in two days, I will ask this little servant to go with you .”

Wainwright smiled with satisfaction, and finally stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder: "My lord, I heard that the position of the quality inspection supervisor of the Royal Engineering Department has been vacant for several months. I think that the young master of your mansion has relevant qualifications." Yes, it seems that we need a referral opportunity, right?"

……

"Che'an, Che'an?" There was another knock on the door softly but hastily. This time standing at the door was still the chubby cook Shanli, but unlike just now with a smile on her face, the kind cook is now Eyes full of fear.

Pulling over to the little Chesu behind her, the fat cook almost burst into tears: "Che'an, it's bad, it's really bad!"

"Aunt Shanli, please speak slowly, what's the matter?" Walking over from the farm machine in surprise, he first pulled Xiao Chesu to make sure that there were no injuries or problems on his body, and then the strong middle-aged man asked.

"Just now in the front hall, your little Chesu somehow fell in love with the earl who is here as a guest this time, and asked to be his master's servant!" The fat cook hurriedly said, her hands restless. rubbing.

After pondering for a while, Che'an looked at his son, and little Chesu also looked up at him, and nodded uneasily.

"Well, it was a bit sudden, but is there anything worth worrying about?" He smiled wryly, "Our identities can indeed be sent around by the masters at will, we just need to re-register in the household registration management book Let's go."

Stamping her feet anxiously, Aunt Shanli looked at the ignorant little Chesu, pulled his father aside forcefully, whispered a few words in his ear, and then amplified her voice: "If I hadn't just overheard A few servants of the Earl's family were laughing and swearing outside, I never thought of that, that Lord Earl is simply a demon and a pervert!"

Standing there quietly, as if he was so shocked by Aunt Shanli's words that he couldn't think at all, the middle-aged man took a while to recover, and slowly turned back to look at his son.

Surprised by the dazed look in his father's eyes, little Chesu looked up at him in surprise, his clear eyes were full of puzzlement, he gently took his father's big rough hand, and he looked at the two adults suspiciously.

"Che'an? Che'an?" Shaking the sluggish middle-aged man eagerly, Aunt Shanli came up with an idea, "Hurry up, go beg the master overnight, and then ask little Chesu to go to the young master to beg, It might be useful if Master Andy and the master are crying and crying! He has always defended Xiao Chesu, and just now he contradicted the Earl over this in the hall. Now there is only one way to go, otherwise the next day Once it's over, not only will you father and son be forced to separate, but little Che will sue him..."

There was a sudden shiver, and the fat cook finally shed tears and choked up in a low voice, "It is said that in the house of the old Earl, there are often beautiful untouchable boys who die tragically, and they are always buried quietly. Not a whole body could be found."

It was almost midnight, and from the only big tree in the courtyard that hadn't been felled, suddenly a night-frightened bird flew out, making an ominous and miserable cry.

In the gloomy shadow of the servant's room, the middle-aged man stood motionless, as if his spine had been crushed by the fate of being powerless to fight.

After a long while, his deep voice sounded slowly, trembling and cowardly: "Aunt Shanli, thank you for your kindness. But since the master has agreed to give away little Chesu in person, there is absolutely no possibility of taking back the order. —— Even if No matter how reluctant Master Andy is, does his father dare to go against the Earl's will?"

"But, but..." Aunt Shanli yelled at him anxiously, "Aren't you afraid to see your son being given to the Earl like this, you are not afraid—"

"Aunt Shanli, go and rest." A wry smile stopped her words, Che'an shook her head lightly, her body was hunched, looking a little cowardly, "This is the fate of our untouchables, whose turn it is, who has what What is the solution?"

After closing the door and hugging her son, Che'an didn't turn on the light again, even the dim original light in the servant's room never came on again.

In the darkness, a father and son, one big and one small, sat hugging each other. The sensible little Chesu didn't speak, but held his father's hand tightly—different from the cowardly words, that hand was always steady and strong. The cocoons of the slices were rough but warm, which finally made him feel at ease after he had been restless tonight.

After an unknown amount of time, he slowly put the little Chesu who had fallen asleep in his arms on the simple bed, and the man looked out the window at the dark night.

Even without any lights, the man's eyes are still astonishingly bright in the dark night, like the lonely starlight over the most remote Gobi Desert on the planet Rencel.

The morning sun rose like the morning sun, and the distinguished guests and masters in Hall Manor who had a late rest because of the banquet last night were all asleep, except for the servants and chefs who still had to get up early to serve them.

Prepared a hearty breakfast early, and waited until the sun was high, the voices of the whole manor gradually boiled, and the distinguished guests who came from afar showed no signs of getting up.Receiving a signal from the owner, Baron Hall, a servant mustered up his courage and knocked on the heavy oak door of the earl who seemed to be still sleeping.

The knock on the door rang for a long time, and there was no sign of answer.

Baron Hall, who was rewarded, hesitated for a while, feeling a strange uneasiness in his heart, and finally made the closed door open.After a short period of silence and shock, the two maids who walked in front of them were the first to let out sharp and terrifying screams. Then, the baron with a pale face also staggered out of the room, lying on the side of the door violently. Vomit!

——On the large carved walnut bed, the earl in his 50s opened his empty eyes and was bathed in a dark red sea of ​​blood. Except for a fatal blood hole in his chest, there was also a horrible lower body. Huge void.

The messy sheets had been stained red with blood, and against the remaining white silk pattern, it showed a bit of contrasting cruelty.

But more than ten minutes later, a group of royal police and several gendarmerie investigation elites who looked tense and heavily armed took control of the entire manor and began to search for clues of all crimes.

There are not many noble counts in the entire empire. The murder of a person of this status is enough to cause a sensation in the entire court. What's more, this kind of cruel and clever murder happened in the imperial city. Why is it not called a high position? Are the nobles at risk?

As the inspection and detection progressed, the faces of the leaders of the special case team of the Royal Police Department became more and more ugly.

The door was bolted from the inside, and the open window was the only possible way in and out for the gangster.

However, the camera facing the window of the VIP guest room outside the lawn was artificially destroyed in advance, and the strict and expensive security monitoring system of the manor was also invaded by some kind of powerful force last night, so that what the attendant in charge of monitoring saw all night It was a replacement holographic image that was implanted, and no suspicious traces could be found anywhere at the crime scene: the murderer obviously knew how to conceal and destroy fingerprints and footprints, and even the murder weapon was not thrown away casually. To be carried away calmly.

Judging from the degree of damage to the wound, it should be a dagger similar to an ordinary multi-purpose saber, and there is nothing worth noting. Apart from the clean and neat technique, the entire murder scene does not show any difference from other cases.

It didn't look like a sudden robbery or impromptu intention. It was obviously planned and arranged carefully. Judging from the skills of the perpetrators, they seemed to be professional killers or soldiers?
