View More*Lucinda's POVI woke up to find that Arthur had locked me up. I'm incredibly frustrated. Why would he lock me up like that?Dylan brought me breakfast, but I didn't eat it. I asked him to let me out because I wanted to go to my room to take a shower. Dylan said no and immediately left.At noon, Dylan brought me lunch. I still don't eat. Dylan advised me to enter the sentence. I threatened him that if he didn't let me go out, I wouldn't invite him to eat if I cooked delicious food or baked cakes in the future. Dylan was sorrowful but still couldn't let me go out. To Dylan, Arthur's orders were absolute.I angrily chased him out so I wouldn't have to listen to him nagging me not to make Arthur angry.I don't want that advice. I am furious. If Arthur stood in front of me, I would scold him.I waited for Arthur to return, so I questioned him. I imagined him and I having a big fight, but everything I imagined didn't happen. Arthur apologized to me.At first, I thought I was dizzy, so I he
My father spoke with pride because he held half an immortal heart.I coldly asked, "If you have half a witch's heart, why is Grandpa still dead?"My father looked at me disdainfully, "Half a witch's heart won't end the family's curse. If he let him use it, it would only prolong his life for a few years. Treasure cannot be wasted on someone about to die."My father was so greedy for power and strength that he didn't care about his relatives. I felt my heart grow colder."That witch is dead; even half a heart cannot turn into a complete heart. So what is the use of taking it?" I continued to ask."She won't die. Even though she only has half a heart left, it's still enough to help her regenerate. Every year, I send my subordinates to search for her to get the other half of my heart. As long as I have an immortal heart that completes me, I will be immortal."My father's eyes sparkled with ambition. It turns out his goal is to pursue immortality. For someone as ambitious and selfish as my
The elevator door opened, and what caught my eye was the sight of my uncle's whole body covering Lucinda. He bowed his head as if he was kissing her.I was as angry as a child whose beloved toy was taken away. I wanted to get that toy back, but my uncle wouldn't give in to me. His arrogant and arrogant look made me want to punch him in the face. Luckily, my mind was still alert, so I didn't do that crazy thing.Lucinda voiced her opinion. She wants to serve Charlie because he saved her. I want to ask, I have also helped her many times, why has she never been so enthusiastic towards me? I didn't ask because I'm not comfortable expressing my feelings.Under her earnest begging, I had to accept.After that, I sent someone to watch Lucinda and Charlie. The photos sent to me are increasingly diverse. They go for walks on the beach together, go to amusement parks, play fun games, go to bars, go shopping for the kitten she picked up, and so on.When she's with Charlie, she's even more lively
Arthur and I both suddenly looked towards him. Charlie was slowly standing up. His murderous eyes looked at Arthur's hand gripping my chin.Perhaps Arthur's push woke Charlie up somewhat, or Charlie's consciousness forced him to stand up and protect me.In just a blink of an eye, Charlie turned into a wolf and attacked Arthur. Arthur pushed me away. I staggered backward. When I opened my eyes again, I saw two wolves fighting each other. One black wolf is Arthur, and the other wolf is dark blue.They were so fast that I couldn't see clearly how they attacked each other, but I knew that they were all very strong because, after a few minutes, they all had bleeding wounds on their bodies.They messed up the room, making it look like a scrap yard. Their battlefield gradually spread out, but it seemed they were conscious of not hurting me, so I was not affected by the battle at all.I was worried but didn't know what to do. When I recovered, they were fighting each other in the fifth-floor
Before the situation got too bad, I spoke, "Can I speak my mind?"Two pairs of murderous eyes turned to me as soon as I finished speaking. They are silent; saying nothing means they allow me to speak. But their eyes carried a bit of expectation for me. It seems like they are waiting for me to say something that makes them happy.I swallowed my saliva and mustered up the courage to say Arthur."Arthur, you misunderstood Mr.Charlie. What happened in the elevator was just an accident. Mr.Charlie once saved me. I want to serve him while he is here to repay him."Arthur was not satisfied with what I said, but my pleading eyes made him choke the words of refusal in his throat.Arthur said hoarsely, "I'm protecting you, Lucinda. Even though he is my uncle, I don't allow him to make fun of you. Just because he saved you once, don't be willing to let him play with you like that.""Are not! He's not kidding me. He was very good to me. You see, he was willing to cover me with an umbrella in the
A few people, including Rosabella, saw the image of Charlie and I walking side by side in the rain. Rosabella's eyes looked at me in a wrong way. I think she won't miss any opportunity to scold me.I was worried, petting the kitten and whispering, "What should I do?" They won't let me feed you. Maybe I'll have to find you a new home. Hopefully, they can let you stay until the rain stops."I sighed.Charlie spoke up, "Do you like raising cats?"I looked at him and smiled, "Not just cats; I like small and adorable animals. Later, when I leave here, I will buy a house and raise my favorite pets."I briefly remembered my past. One time, I was so fed up with making a living in the complicated human world that I decided to go into the forest and live in seclusion. I live in a small wooden house, but the summer and winter are cool. I became friends with the animals in that forest. Thanks to magic, I understand what they say.Sometimes, hunters come to that forest to hunt wild animals. I didn
It was already nine o'clock when Charlie and I returned to the villa. As soon as we entered the villa lobby, we met Arthur. Arthur walked over, his eyes briefly looking at me, but quickly turned to Charlie. He calls Charlie's uncle.Charlie nodded. They don't seem familiar.Dylan once told me that when Charlie was a teenager, he ran away from home because he didn't want to be set up by his family. I vaguely guessed that the time Charlie left home was the time he spent with me. Later, Charlie returns to the palace when Arthur is thirteen years old. Not long after Charlie returned, his father passed away. After his father's funeral, Charlie continued to run away from home.Therefore, Arthur and Charlie's uncle-nephew relationship has no affection at all. They were like two strangers bound by the blood that flowed through their bodies."I will borrow your servant while I am here. But no matter what?" Charlie asked.Arthur glanced at me, then said emotionlessly to Charlie, "I'm not sure m
My night shift hasn't ended yet, but I want to return to my room to change into new clothes. I felt like the clothes on my body were disgusting because Dante had touched them.My mood was low; my mind was confused, and every step became heavy. I felt it was tough to get to my room's front door. I was about to turn the doorknob when Dylan's voice rang out, returning me to my senses. I looked towards the end of the hallway. Arthur and Dylan stepped out of the elevator.I am still determining where they just returned from. Their shoes were muddy, and their coats were slightly soaked in rainwater.“How are you, Lucinda? Are you having some trouble?” Dylan panicked when he saw my face. He quickly ran to me.Arthur was also startled, but he wasn't as hasty as Dylan. He still had a cold attitude, but his steps were faster.I habitually replied, “I'm fine!”I wanted to smile, even if it was forced, but I couldn't. The corner of my mouth twitched a few times, but I couldn't lift it. I don't kn
Ms. Irene's funeral was solemnly held at Douglas Palace. According to the custom of the Douglas family, the dead will be cremated. After those rituals were completed, the funeral was still maintained because many guests had not yet come to pay their respects.Many people came to visit in the early days, and many stayed overnight. The palace servants were busy serving those strange guests.On the third day of the funeral, Rosabella again troubled me.Even though I am Arthur's servant, I have to do the same job as the other servants because there are not enough servants to serve the guests.I was still a little upset from my previous argument with Arthur, so I avoided him during this time. He was busy entertaining guests and didn't pay attention to me.I was caught by Rosabella while serving tea to the female guests. Rosabella was chatting with those guests. She took this opportunity to order me to do many things. Some examples are that she will ask me to get more sugar, then a few minu
Lucinda's POVToday is my eighteenth birthday. I'm not sure this is really the day I was born; on this day twelve years ago, I was brought to this Angel orphanage, and it has become my birthday every year. However, I'm still thrilled because, on my birthday, I can eat my favorite strawberry cake.I scooped a large piece of cake and put it in my mouth. The sweetness dissolved in my throat, multiplying my joy many times over."Are you done packing, Lucinda?" Lily asked me, but her eyes didn't leave my strawberry cake.I shared some cake with Lily; she is my good friend. I replied, "I have already arranged it!"Lily was satisfied eating the cake, and she asked again, "Aren't you worried? I heard rumors that people taken to that place often mysteriously disappear."I shrugged and said, "Those are just rumors. The director told me I would make a lot of money there. After five years, I can leave there with much money. Until then, I will come back here to visit you. Don't worry about me."Ab...
