Escape in the interstellar game world

Chapter 39 The Return
In a small village in the territory of Duke Evari.

"Mother! I don't want to go to Evari Castle and work as a maid for the Duchess! It's spread throughout the village that the Duchess is a witch. She will kill me and take my blood to make her younger."

But one person stood up and said, "Mom, my sister doesn't want to go! I'll go! We don't have much food at home."

The girl who was called sister exclaimed, "Are you crazy?! People will die wherever you go. Aunt Luna said that the witch will suck all the blood out of you, and even your bones will not be spared. It will become flower fertilizer and support those flowers.”

But the man said, "If you stay at home, you will starve to death due to lack of food. Why not trade my life for a chance for my family to survive?"

When the old woman heard what her child said, she couldn't help but step forward and hug her second daughter, her voice choked with sobs, "No, Winnie! Your father will make money."

Winnie shook her head firmly and said, "Mother, let me go! I believe that the owner of the castle will treat us better under these rumors. I will send you a letter every month to tell you the current situation."

No matter how much the old woman could say no, it was a fact that her family was poor and could not afford to eat.

Winnie was sitting alone in a simple and short room. She was the Baroness in the dungeon of "Seven Days of Survival Game". It had been seven days since she came to this dungeon, but she had not received any game tasks, nor had she found any players.

In the past seven days, she had been tortured by hunger and poverty. She had thought about using extraordinary means to kill herself. Unexpectedly, not only did she fail to return to the personal space given by the game, but she returned to this node again.

There's a big problem with the game!She might be trapped in the game.

This realization made her panic.

In the past three or four days, rumors had been flying all over the sky, and she was keenly aware of the strangeness. Originally, her family had always wanted her sister to work as a maid in the castle, and her sister readily agreed. Her thoughts were so confused that she had no intention of going into the muddy water. .

But now because of this rumor, her sister is shrinking back, but she wants to seize this opportunity to leave the dungeon.

The next day, the carriage from the castle arrived as promised, and it was Winnie who was picked up!

When parting, the old woman and her eldest daughter took turns hugging Winnie tightly and recounting their many reluctances.

Branton leaned in front of the window sill of the guest room and could see the green grass and mountains in the distance. The scenery was picturesque, but Branton was not in the mood to appreciate it.

He stretched out his palm and plucked his fingers. It was already the eighth day, but he was as clueless as a headless fly.

No matter how he tried to establish a good relationship with the servants in the castle, the servants' mouths were shut tightly like clams, and they didn't say a word.

Everything Alice and Adair brought seemed short-lived.

In this picturesque corner, a light carriage slowly drove in. Winnie stuck half her head out of the car window and looked at the elegant castle in front of her in surprise.

Marpel, who was waiting at the door, took several newcomers to meet Yuna, the maid in charge.

Yuna looked at the four young girls who had been added in front of her, and there were ripples in her heart, but...she lowered her face, reprimanded the girls, and told the rules in the castle in a cold voice.

The Duchess swept everything off the table as if to vent her anger, and asked with cold eyes, "What did you say?!"

The housekeeper glanced at Nance and said bravely, "There are rumors around here that there is a witch in Evari Castle, who specializes in kidnapping the surrounding girls..."

Madam's head was clear, "It must be Adair and Alice who did it!" She turned to look at Nance, "Why haven't they been found yet?"

Faced with Madam's extremely oppressive eyes, Nance said in a deep voice without changing his expression, "Madam, Duke Lain arrived in Kalai City two days ago. Our people have already discovered that Adair and others finally stayed in Kalai. City, but they completely lost track of them yesterday." Madam frowned slightly, "Why is he here? What is he doing in Kalai City?!"

Nance said calmly, "In Kalai City, only Duke Lain can cover the sky with one hand and erase the traces of Adair and others. This shows that Adair has surrendered to Duke Lain."

The lady asked in confusion, "My good niece didn't go to my sister?"

Nance shook his head, "No, Mrs. Gumenet's life is as usual."

Attending aristocratic banquets, strolling through the streets... ordinary and boring.

He thought for a moment and then said, "Madam, we should inform His Highness the Duke of this matter."

The lady's eyes widened, her face was ferocious, and she was full of exhaustion, "You don't need to teach me how to do things! You all get out of here..."

Nance and the housekeeper turned around and left without further persuasion.

But outside the door, Nance stopped the butler, "The butler can ask Mr. Branton to comfort the lady and write a letter to inform the Duke that the matter cannot be delayed. The Duke of Rhine is coming and the rumors are getting worse! The consequences are not something we can bear. of."

The housekeeper was also a little helpless and said, "We can only wait until Madam is in a good mood before we talk."

There was a knock on the room door.

With nothing to do, Brandon suddenly felt shocked, tidied up his appearance and opened the door.

is the housekeeper.

The butler invited, "Mr. Branton, Madam is in a bad mood today, which has seriously affected her health. Please go and comfort Madam."

Branton paused, pretending to be casual and asked, "Did something happen to my aunt? I'd better avoid mentioning it as much as possible."

The butler avoided the important issues and said, "Suddenly there were many rumors outside the castle that maliciously slandered the Madam. The rumors accused the Madam of treating the common people in her territory badly, taking in many slaves, and living an excessively luxurious life... But these rumors were spread by the Duke's political enemies."

Branton frowned slightly, anger flashed on his handsome face, "How could this political enemy trample on my aunt like this?"

The housekeeper sighed and said, "Madam doesn't want the Duke to be troubled by this matter, but both glory and loss will be ruined. How can the Duke ignore Madam! Please sir, please advise Madam not to keep these rumors in her heart, so as not to affect her health." , it’s better to leave it to the Duke.”

Branton patted his chest and promised that he would persuade his aunt.

The butler led Branton to the lady's bedroom, and talked a lot about the relationship between the Duke and the Lady along the way.

It happened that Mapel was taking four new young maids to learn the general route in the castle after being ordered by Yuna.

When the two parties met, something flashed through Branton's mind. He asked without thinking, "Are there new people in the castle? I don't think I have ever seen such a young girl in the castle."

Winnie was a little confused. This man looked very noble, but the words he said made people tremble. The four new girls who came in had also heard the rumors to some extent, and their faces suddenly turned pale and they were at a loss.

Mapel respectfully waited for the housekeeper and Branton to pass by before lecturing, "This is the housekeeper and Madam's nephew, Mr. Branton! Don't think of anything else. Madam hates people who don't understand the rules the most."
