Not a Witch

Mrs. Mera was stunned for a moment, and then slowly returned to her seat, but her hands were twisted uneasily and her head was lowered.

"I am very sad to hear this news. Lord Angus is a kind person, why did this happen to me." Her voice was broken and seemed very uncomfortable.

"My condolences." Then Lorraine Hill waited for Mrs. Mera to slowly ease her good mood.

After a while, Mrs. Mela stopped sobbing in a low voice, wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and then slowly raised her head, her eyes were a little red and swollen.

Roland Hill saw her slowly calm down before continuing to speak.

"Although Lord Angus is gone, he asked me to take care of you and your children before he died. Please rest assured."

"Thank you, Miss Lacey. I...I don't know how to repay this kindness...just say whatever you want."

"I don't have any requirements, I just want to see your child today." Roland Hill stated the main purpose of the day.

"Okay, wait a minute, Dill is upstairs, I'll call him."

"Don't be so troublesome, let's go together. It just happened that I came here for the first time, and I am still very interested in the layout here." Roland Hill shook his head, showing a kind smile, and then stood up from the sofa.

"Okay...Okay, you come with me." Mrs. Mela hesitated, and then walked in front with Loren Hill.

This building has 3 floors, the second floor is the bedroom, and the third floor is the attic connected to the roof, which is used to store the sundries.The floors in the house are all made of marble, and the doors, handrails, and furniture are all made of mahogany.

Passing through the corridor on the second floor, at the end of the door, Mrs. Mela took out a key and opened the door. A 10-year-old child was in the room. He was on the ground, painting with colorful paint, beside him. There are also many colorful building blocks scattered on the ground.

When the child saw the door open, he raised his head and was very happy when he saw Mrs. Mela. He took the painting to Mrs. Mela as if it was a treasure, and showed it to Mrs. Mela.

"Mom, I drew it, does it look good?" The child was a little happy when he saw his mother suddenly appear.

On the thick white paper, a little man was painted like graffiti, with exaggerated hair smeared with yellow paint, and his mouth was painted with light red paint. The corners of his mouth were cracked, and he seemed to be smiling.As a whole, it can only be seen that this is a person. Various paints are piled up on the paper, which looks very messy.

"I made you laugh. Miss Lacey." Mrs. Mela stepped forward and hurriedly pulled the child over, and the painting was casually thrown aside.

"It's nothing." Roland Hill walked over to pick up the painting and asked the child.

"Who's on the picture, Dill?"

"It's mom."

"Why is mom's hair yellow?"

"Because I want my mother to be like the sun, take me out...and to laugh, my mother rarely smiles at me..." The child's voice was a little low.

Listening to the child's words, Mrs. Meera was a little shy and wanted to stop it, but she was not good at speaking in person.

Lorraine Hill didn't mean to joke. Looking at the child in front of him, he was pulled by his mother. He was not tall, and his clothes were clean. His big eyes looked straight at her with curiosity in his eyes. and admiration.

"Come, come to my sister's side." Roland Hill crouched down, clapped his hands, and looked at the child with a smile on his face.

Mrs. Mera had to let go of her hand when she saw it, and let the child walk over by herself.

Loren Hill touched Dill's head and blinked to check the child's condition.

In general, he is still relatively healthy, his eyebrows are a bit like his mother, softer, not as angular as Angus.

Then there was another chat, and after a while, Roland Hill took out the gift box for the children's snacks and invited them to move to the headquarters of the Karites Chamber of Commerce, because it was safer there.

However, Mrs. Mela refused, and it was not easy for Loren Hill to persuade them all the time. Before leaving, she said that she would come to see them after a while.

After putting on the black hooded robe again and boarding the carriage, Roland Hill slowly thought about the process of this meeting.

"Serez, how did Mr. Angus meet Mrs. Mera?"

"It was at a banquet 10 years ago. At that time, the master's career began to flourish. He often participated in banquets of various parties. One time he was drunk, and Miss Meera happened to be a member of the banquet. She was a certain young lady. The merchant's daughter."

"So the drunk master had a relationship with Miss Meera, and then Miss Meera's father wanted to send her over to be a side room in order to please the master. Although the master agreed, but in order to make up for the guilt in his heart, he gave it to Mei. There are many benefits to pulling my father."

"After a while, Mela's father became more and more greedy, opened his mouth more and more, and even threatened the master to stab the matter out if he didn't agree."

"Originally, the master was still thinking of love and forbearance at all times. After that time, he sent someone directly to do it. Mrs. Mela's father almost went bankrupt, and finally settled down, and Mrs. Mela was caught in the middle. She asked the master on behalf of her father before. There are many benefits, and I have always been very uneasy in my heart, and later I was a little afraid of the master."

"This way..." Roland Hill listened to the narration of Butler Ceres, and always felt that there was still some vagueness in it.

Why did Mrs Mera feel more panic than sadness when she heard the news from Angus.Why did Mrs. Mela keep Dill in the room and locked it, she was worried or abusive.Why when she heard Loren Hill invited her to live in the headquarters, her first reaction was to refuse without any hesitation.

Mrs. Mera should have something hidden in her heart. There may be another secret relationship between her and Angus. Roland Hill sipped her tea, but she was thinking about how to find out the truth.

After a while, she didn't speak.

"Cerez, can you arrange for someone to inquire about Mrs. Mela's past acquaintances? I want to know her ten years ago, before contacting Angus, and the situation before and after that incident."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult, Miss, after all, ten years have passed."

"Even ten years, many things will still leave traces, you should send someone to investigate."

"Okay, Miss Lacey."

After returning to the headquarters mansion, Lorraine Hill dealt with some business affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, and then at night, after dinner, she sat on a chair on the balcony and rested, watching the night view of the stars and lights in the sky, and the evening breeze. Blow on for a hint of coolness.

The head maid Chelsea gently pushed open the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony and walked over.

"Miss, did you call me?"

"Yes, I want to ask you to do something." She paused for a while, watching the lights of thousands of homes in the distance, and the wind slowly blowing through the woods outside the balcony.

"The confidant who sent the letter secretly investigated the housekeeper Ceres and all the subordinates he had come into contact with in the past few days, and then reported it to me. You came to Karites first, and there should be a lot of people you can trust."

Roland Hill turned his head and looked at the maid's long, supple hair fluttering slowly in the night wind.

Chapter 55 Natural Sequence 3

Chelsea was a little surprised when she heard the eldest lady's order, but her face remained calm. She pushed her eyes on the bridge of her nose and replied.

"It's going to take a while, ma'am, because there's a lot of overlap between the people I trust and the people he trusts."

"Well, be careful, there should be other people behind Ceres supporting him."

"Yes, thank you for your reminder." Then the head maid withdrew.

Roland Hill continued to sit on this small balcony, watching the beautiful night view of the harbor city. The quiet moonlight was reflected on the sea. With the undulations of the waves, the moonlight became broken, sparkling and rippling in the field of vision.She could even hear the sound of the sea lapping the beach from afar, the soothing sound of the water, like a soft sleep.

Serres was Angus' housekeeper and had been by his side for nearly ten years.In his early years, he was an aristocratic officer of the West Wind and went to the battlefield.It was a war between Xifeng and the northern barbarians. It was not large in scale. Only some nobles in the northern part of the kingdom participated. Although Xifeng won, he also lost a lot, so that his own weakness was exposed, and he could no longer completely suppress the chaotic forces in the territory.

Later, the nobles in the north shrank in an all-round way, only concerned with the castles and cities where they were located, and did not care about some marginal villages.This also led to bandits running rampant, and mercenaries became popular in the north.

At that time, after Ceres retired, because he was not the eldest son and had no inheritance rights, he worked as a mercenary for a while, and happened to meet Angus who came to West Wind to do business.The two have many similar experiences. They were both born from a West-style nobleman, and both were the unlucky second sons of their families. They both experienced many ups and downs. Later, Angus invited Serres to be his deputy, and finally he slowly became a card. Great butler of Lites.He was also one of the people Angus trusted most during his lifetime.

It's hard to imagine that such a person would betray, but Roland Hill did sense that something was wrong with the housekeeper.

First of all, when Mrs. Mela opened the door and saw Serres, she said 'you' and then changed her name to 'you'. At that time, Mela recognized Serres for the first time, and there was even some tone in her tone. Fear, and later changed his mind.

Secondly, when Mrs. Mera smashed the teacup, and he stepped forward to pick up the pieces, his eyes and expressions were not so kind. At that time, he was facing Roland Hill. Maybe he thought that such a girl could not see, but in fact, Roland Hill Er noticed this from the reflection in Mrs. Mera's pupils.

Finally, when Lorraine Hill asked Ceres to investigate what happened ten years ago, his first reaction was to refuse. Although it was a euphemistic reminder, he may not have realized it himself. This was the first time he refuted the girl's instruction. , and this behavior should not occur in a good housekeeper.

After leaving Mrs. Mela's residence, Lorraine Hill asked him to investigate the past ten years ago. This is actually a test. If he doesn't know the truth, out of instinct, he should ask around for ten years. related people and events.

But if he already knew the truth, in order to continue to hide it, he would deliberately avoid some people and things, and instead act unnaturally.And these points he avoided would in turn remind Roland Hill.So no matter what he does, he will expose part of the truth.

Roland Hill sat quietly on the wooden chair, and unconsciously tapped the teacup in his hand with his fingertips. Slight ripples appeared on the amber liquid, and at the same time, there was a subtle and crisp sound.

When did I become so scheming, she was suddenly thinking about this issue, and she was a little scared and contradictory.

People are growing up slowly, and after experiencing many things, it is difficult to maintain the innocence and simplicity of children, because the reality is complex, cruel, and full of accidents.

She understands this. In that age of information explosion, the stories that a young adult has seen, heard, and even experienced are unimaginable by people in this world, with all kinds of strange plots, and the intrigue of countless characters. Strange cases of all kinds of suspenseful reasoning.

Maybe outsiders can't understand Serres' behavior, but Roland Hill has prepared twenty logical and reasonable reasons and plots for him in his head, what ethical revenge, what hatred for love, what ten Years latent and so on.So much so that she was not surprised by what was wrong with Serres, and even a little curious.

What kind of distortions will there be in the heart of this excellent and resolute butler?

Traveling on the road called life for too long, the prosperous scenery and ups and downs along the way, it is easy for people to gradually forget the original intention when they started.

But when Roland Hill found that he used some tactics without a teacher, he also felt a kind of alertness.scheming can be used as a temporary means and method, but blindly playing tricks will make people lose the courage to fight to the death, as well as the initial persistence and dreams in their hearts.

At the end of the day, due to the situation, it is understandable to use strategies. The weaker you are, the more you have to learn wisdom and planning.But with the slow growth of oneself, this kind of behavior is gradually internalized into an instinct, always wanting to take shortcuts in everything and always want to achieve efficiency beyond ordinary people.When I see dull work and things, I don’t want to do it. I always measure whether it is cost-effective to do one thing, as if the whole life can be calculated.

It is undeniable that this is also a kind of power, but what is it for?Self-proclaimed smart, for the sake of profit, regardless of the bottom line, but as everyone knows, he has long forgotten the original intention when he started.When you put your most precious dreams on the scales, you are already committing a crime.

After drinking the cold tea slowly, Roland Hill decided to stop thinking about these intrigues for the time being. She didn't like to speculate on the complicated hearts of others, and she was more willing to do some practical things, so she went back to the room and closed the door and told The maids, she will rest early tonight, and then begin to perfect and practice her own transcendental sequence.

No matter how many intrigues and tricks the other party has, she will respond to all changes with no change, and overcome all methods with one force. Strength is the constant truth of the world.

The light of emeralds seemed to flicker in the transparent light blue pupils. Roland Hill's natural sequence had long since stabilized, but he had been focusing on the demon sequence some time ago, and he had not settled down during the journey, but today finally Take the time to advance to Natural Sequence 3.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, an emerald green gem is like a bud waiting to bloom, with brilliance constantly flowing on it. As the girl concentrates, countless manas slowly float up from the sea of ​​consciousness, in a spiral shape, wrapping around it. , slowly integrate into it, constantly fill in and reinforce the structure, and begin to outline new lines and veins.

In the dark bedroom, bursts of emerald green fluorescence appeared on the girl's body. The hair that had been dyed golden by the extraordinary potion began to recover to silver, and then dyed with a faint fluorescence, turning into a cyan between blue and green.

The bouquets on the dressing table also began to grow rapidly under this burst of fluorescence. The vines and buds protruded from the bottle and spread to the ceiling along the dressing mirror.

One, two, three.... more and more vines spread all over the ceiling until it was completely covered, and then along the wall, covering the wardrobe, bed, wooden chair, table, etc.These vines regarded Roland Hill as the sun in the dark, all the leaves were facing her, and the bursts of fluorescence emanating from the girl seemed to have some kind of magical power, giving these plants endless energy and stimulation.

When Roland Hill finished his promotion and opened his eyes, he was greeted with a scene like a fairy tale.

Emerald green plants filled the whole bedroom, the green branches and leaves stretched quietly, and flowers protruded and bloomed among the green leaves.These flowers are blue, light red, and bright yellow. The stamens in the flowers have a natural sequence of magic, which emits a faint light in the bedroom at night, like a small night light, which illuminates the bedroom and looks peaceful and harmonious. .
