cross

It would be ridiculous to say that there is love between Joseph and I.

After careful calculation, I only met him a few times, the reason was only a few times he let me go, I went to thank him once, and there was no more interaction.We didn't even talk for a few rounds. He and I both knew that I didn't envy him, and he... Maybe I was just a survivor who took the name of his fiancee to him.

When the blue eyes stare at me, they are always so calm, so calm that there is no ripple...

This is the first time I have met such a person who will not move me a little because of my appearance.

On the contrary, I was amazed by those eyes.Before I met him, the most moving beauty I had ever seen in my life came from my mother, she was a black rose rooted in the heart, delicate, beautiful and seductive.Now I see another kind of beauty, like the glass statues of the gods' favorites from above the clouds, like faces carved as if they would glow, beautiful even if they are dead.

"If your right eyes cause you to fall, gouge it out and throw it away. It's better to lose the unity of the whole body than to throw the whole body into hell."

Whisper softly.

"Um, what did you say?" Marta didn't hear me clearly, but I managed to attract her attention by whispering the photographer's name.

"It's him."

"What is he?"

I grip Marta's hand tightly.

"...the person you asked just now."

"I just asked..." Marta suddenly stopped.

She looked at me in disbelief, as if the machine was stuck, and it took a long time before she barely digested the news.

"Beth Fenley, this...is too unbelievable!" Marta said with difficulty.

I smiled wryly, and tightly grasped Marta's wrist, I couldn't feel how much force I used: "... Those people before didn't want to know why I was let go by the supervisor? That's why."

"I dare not let other people know about it."

Marta patted herself on the face: "Let me calm down...so it is like this," she repeated twice: "so it was like this...but you just said...retire the engagement?" She raised her voice.

"Aren't you married by the family? This kind of engagement is not easy to cancel, right?" Marta finally calmed down.

"Not necessarily." I let go of Marta's hand as hard as I could, and said wearily: "...There is no one in Yegel's house."

Marta froze again.

"As I said before, this marriage was originally a high-profile affair... I don't know if my grandfather will let this marriage contract be settled successfully. After my father passed away, I was just an orphan girl... So I went to the manor, thinking that I might live up to this one. We got married, but we never thought that fate would happen by coincidence.”

"So I can decide my own marriage, as long as he wants..." I looked out the window, my eyes were a little empty: "I can call off the engagement."

Marta was silent for a while, she didn't understand the circles of nobles, so she said cautiously: "Are you really going to divorce..." Then she sighed deeply: "Yes, this is Ottilie Smith Manor."

Yes, this is Odiris Manor.

Survivors here, no matter how involuntary they are, there is nothing they can do.

All the helplessness gathered in this sigh.Everyone is a moon and has a dark side, and no one knows what he can do to escape.

I thought Marta would say something more, such as supervisors and survivors... But she just patted my hand comfortingly, and the air in the room gradually became silent. In such silence, there was a little noise outside the door It becomes obvious.

"Who is there!"

Marta was extremely vigilant, and before I could react, she got up decisively and chased me out.

I was the only one left in the room.

I got out of bed and drew the curtains, it was getting late.Tonight there is no moon, not even stars, and the dark sky is like thick ink soaked in water, and it is difficult to see the outline of a little cloud.The Odiris Manor at night is like a silent monster lying prone quietly. The black shadows of trees and sculptures are like the forest where wizards and witches live in every magical story. I can't wait to drag all the creatures that pass by into hell.

The window in front of me turned into a transparent mirror under the contrast of light and shadow, and I saw a phantom of a girl standing in front of me, wearing pajamas, with a contrasting pale face under long black hair half hidden in the darkness, like a ghost.

"Sink with me."

I saw the girl in the mirror slowly opening her lips to me, whispering softly, the corners of her light-colored mouth raised slightly, and she calmed down in an instant.

Darkness may reveal a person's original appearance.Because people always like to hide their inner secrets inside, and keep a dark place in their hearts, where all sins and greedy desires are accommodated.

Darkness encompasses everything.

I'm not afraid of the dark—maybe I was when I was very young, but my mother said, don't be afraid.

I am really not afraid.

His fingers slowly ran across the purple eyes.

My mother said, your eyes, your face, and the blood flowing on your body all come from darkness.

So do not be afraid, and there is no need to panic.

Fear comes from the unknown, death is just a destination, this is not the end, and I will never die here.

I looked out of the window and thought expressionlessly, I must get out from here.

... It's going to be windy, I thought.

When Marta came back, I was already lying on the bed again, quietly waiting for the result of the chase.

She looked a little frustrated: "Damn, I didn't find anyone... I'm sorry, Beth Fernley."

Probably because I have vented my emotions, even after hearing the bad news, I was not too disappointed.

I'm being targeted... No matter who it is, in short, under the appearance of harmony in the manor, there are just a group of people with different thoughts-including myself.

"The other party may have come prepared." Marta said angrily, "It's as disgusting as a mouse in the gutter to eavesdrop on other people's privacy and secretly plan for oneself."

He comforted me and said: "There will be no games for the next few days, so you should have a good rest first, and lock the door at night... They don't dare to go too far."

"Just tell me if there is anything."

I nodded, and Marta left, and smiled at me when she walked to the door and closed it: "Good night."

"Good night."

I said softly.Sitting alone in the dark with the lights off, I couldn't help laughing.

I am indeed my mother's daughter.

The author has something to say: The English translations of the two sentences in this chapter are:

1. If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away.I would rather lose one part of my body than have my whole body thrown into hell. (from the Bible)

2. Fall with me.

Maybe you can see the inconsistent performance of the heroine... For example, she is a devout believer on the surface, but in fact she often calls Satan :)

Seeing other people's articles are full of development, but mine is full of undercurrents... I want to add drama to Yue Meiren!

I mentioned earlier that I would give a hint if I guessed the second layer. After thinking about it, you may not be able to guess it :) So I changed it to guessing the second layer foreshadowing, and I guessed it right away!The second key clue "secret"!Now give the third layer of prompts - the key word "power of time"!
