It is actually very simple to deceive a person.

When I first came to Mrs. Sander's house, when the middle-aged woman who should be called Aunt by Beth Fernley hugged me and cried "My poor niece" beautifully, I had no teacher. I learned how to pretend by myself.

The weak appearance is a great advantage. My eyes are red, and I only need to cry continuously, so I don't have to deal with those questions that I don't know the answer at all.So I was able to observe them and slowly learn the rules of those nobles.

I learned how to cheat -- from the first time I smiled at that woman.

If God says deceit is a sin, then it is as natural as breathing.

Mother said, Lilith, you were born to belong to the dark.

The reason why the so-called demeanor exists is that it does not touch the interests.Unscrupulous means to achieve the goal—perhaps any seemingly ordinary person around us has another side behind him that no one knows.And our understanding of others often stays at the superficial level, and the kindest people have once had the most evil thoughts.

Perhaps many people knew very well that the survivors who came to Odiris Manor were basically not completely clean.

In the same way, I have never considered myself a good person, nor can I say that I am kind.

With something to care about, it is impossible to let everything develop in an uncontrollable direction.If there is one thing in the world that must be done, then there is nothing that I cannot use, just like my mother used me back then——

I approach Marta on purpose.

Deliberately broke his foot in the Sacred Heart Hospital.

Deliberately discovered Joseph's identity.

Intentionally divulge.

As with magicians, trade-offs are a mindset.Accustomed to half-truths and half-false language, accustomed to hiding one's thoughts, every action is understated, but the planning is meticulous and mature bit by bit.I push every trivial detail to make everything develop in the direction I want.

From Ms. Nightingale reminding me of the identity of the photographer, my excellent memory reminded me of Beth Fenley's unfavorable fiancé, so I deliberately injured my foot in the game to test his attitude towards me, and "discovered" him step by step identity, and then make the marriage contract public.

After being let off by the regulators one after another, someone in the manor has become suspicious.And Marta sympathizes with the weak. When our conversation was eavesdropped, she must have pity and guilt, and spared no effort to defend me.

So of course, in the eyes of the survivors, I and the supervisor are ambiguous, but the supervisor thinks that I am wholeheartedly in love with Joseph... The layout has already been unfolded, and I have calculated everything, including love, just to achieve the ultimate goal.

The spider weaves a web and seems to have trapped itself in the center of the web, but it is the butterflies flying around that are finally caught by the web.

I want him to fall in love with me, either let me go, or never forget me.

I hid everything perfectly, just like my mother did back then—before everything happened, I didn't even know her plan or her plan.

Yet she failed.

As the soul messenger reminded me, if you want to resurrect the dead, you have to pay a huge price.The price the mother paid was her life, and she was finally able to reunite with the one she loved in hell.

And now, I'm about to fail too.

Sending the owl back to the eliminated prophet with a white face, the prophet thought I was also eliminated... It's really that my face is too ugly, but I can't laugh at all.

I don't even know how I said goodbye to the Prophet.

Sitting alone in the deserted garden for a long, long time, when he came back to his senses, it was already dark.

"Beth Fernley, why are you here?"

Miss Gardener came over and looked at me with concern: "Didn't you go to dinner? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Would you like to go and see Emily?"

I shook my head, Emma hesitated to speak: "But... your complexion is so bad, I saw you sitting here for a long time, what happened?"

My face became even paler. I looked at Emma, ​​opened my mouth, and finally asked what I've always wanted to ask: "Emma, ​​have you never thought of leaving the manor?"

"Leave? Why leave?"

Emma was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "The people Emma cares about the most are here, and outside... there is nothing for Emma to worry about. Beth Fernley, do you want to leave here? "

I didn't speak, Emma calmed down and looked at me for a while, then said: "But the supervisor can't leave the manor at will, Mr. Joseph loves you so much, Beth Fernley, do you really want to leave him?"

Compared with Jack's doubts, Emma seems to have always believed in my love with Joseph.

However, I can't tell how Joseph feels about me. Even if I can tell Jack that he loves me with confidence, in fact, my reason makes me unshakable.

"If it weren't for the status of fiancee, do you think he would pay attention to you?"

"...Do you think he really loves you?"

Jack's sarcasm hit the nail on the head. I clearly remember that Joseph was so indifferent before the marriage contract was made public, as if he didn't want to get in touch with me... But then he said he would give me a chance, and I believed it.He started acting like a perfect lover, doing what a fiancé should do, but I still remember the creepy painting, and the perfume was the catalyst, and it all made me realize something that was hidden under the tenderness ——This person is actually not as gentle and harmless as he appears on the surface.

does joseph love meI don't know, but since then, I've noticed his desire to possess me intentionally or unintentionally—maybe it's love, the love that belongs to the supervisor, like a beast that devours people, wishing to detain me in the prison that belongs to me. In his abyss.

"I think love is like this~"

Emma looked at me seriously and innocently: "Only people who are tired will choose to let go, but we will not be tired."

She bent her eyes: "If the person I love is an island, then I will be an eternal ocean."

"Beth Fenley, do you know that if the supervisor lets go of the survivors in his game, he will be punished."

I returned to the room in a daze, my mind was so confused that I had a headache, and many pictures flashed through my mind.

Joseph said lightly: "I have seen Beth Fernley."

Emma looked at me innocently and as a matter of course: "This is what our love is like~"

Ms. Nightingale smiled slightly: "We don't plan to take any measures."

I finally know why Emma has failed to pass the final game so far. It's not that the other supervisors don't give face to the factory manager, but...the survivors will be punished if they deliberately let go of the survivors.

So Ms. Nightingale didn't stop me, because it seemed that I was playing tricks, but someone paid the price silently.

How many times has Joseph let me go?

Everything is just a scam, since you already know that I am not Beth Fenli, why do you still cooperate with me?

My mind was chaotic, with different emotions mixed together, which could not be calmed down for a long time. I remembered Joseph's last kiss: "...It will be over soon."

An overwhelming sense of powerlessness surrounded me, and I sank on the bed, not even knowing if I should feel hopeless.For the first time, I felt like I had nowhere to run.

The long chime of the bell echoed in the manor at midnight, heralding the arrival of a new day.

I slowly regained my senses, walked to the window and opened the curtains, looked at the manor shrouded in mist forever, and suddenly remembered that many years ago, the day my mother left, I ran into the morning mist, as if I ran into another world. A person's lifeline.

"To Miss Beth Fernley Yeager:

Maybe you are wondering what kind of prank the letter is for, but I have to say, I know your secret - I don't want to say it, but you know what I mean - xxxx Year 11 On March 13, the passenger ship Seagull.

Now you should know that I am not lying.You can suspect, speculate, investigate my identity, but it won't help.If you want to know what is going on, I sincerely invite you to visit Odiris Manor.

Signed: Mysterious Man

ps: Here, you will get the safe place you want. "

I lied. From November 11th to 10th, 14, a heavy fog occurred in the British waters, causing the passenger ship to crash into an iceberg... It was not only Viscount Yeager who died in that shipwreck, but also the young Beth Fenley Yeager and even most of the servants in the Yeager family.

As I said to Marta, there is no one in Yegel's house.That trip originally hoped to confirm the marriage contract as soon as possible to save the family's decline, but instead ruined the last heir of the Yegel family.

I took out the card I wrote before, and the question I asked already has the answer——

"Is the supervisor of the last game the photographer?"

"Yes."

The previous speculation has become a reality. The owner of the manor is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, so how could he give up this good show.

I looked at the cards on the table silently, so... the bet with Jack was useless.

Jack owed me a request, which was one of the remedies I had planned, maybe I could get Jack to trip Joseph... but I thought about it for a long time, but I gave up.

The rule of Odiris Manor is that survivors who fail in the last game can choose to escape.

No one knows that I am the fool that the magician said.I bet my life, I use love as a bargaining chip, and I take advantage of everyone, just because I don't want to wait any longer without hope.

I've had enough of living in someone else's life, traveling through time, and losing everything.

The day before my mother left, she put the inverted cross necklace that she wore close to my neck on my neck.Maybe she never thought of failure, or maybe, she actually understands everything.

Some things don't persist when you see hope, but only when you persist will you see hope.

I didn't dream that night.

The author has something to say: Do you really think the heroine is weak?In fact, everyone is played by her between applause≧﹏≦

Seeing the confused look on the faces of everyone in the comments in the last chapter, I saw that some people guessed what kind of demon the heroine is, and the second personality is exaggerated_(:з」∠)_ Actually, there are many hints in front of it. For example, to give an obvious example, the heroine recalled that when she was a child, she "often walked home alone in the woods at night, accompanied by crows and owls." Is this something that happens to nobles?And I don’t know if everyone has noticed, but Joseph has never called the heroine “Beth Fenley”, not even in mental activities!I made a game that I couldn't lose, but I was caught off guard by Joseph~ It should be here :)

The heroine's hidden traits revealed:

[Winning Hearts] Lilith is sensitive, thoughtful, sociable, and survivors with the ability to save people are very happy to rescue Lilith, and the time to save Lilith from the carnival chair is reduced by 10%.
