The not-so-spacious space in the cage was occupied by thorns and vines.
Josh had to use the bars of the cage to climb up.
Move sideways quickly to avoid the vines.
The slender figure nimbly dodged the vines on the ground in the small cage.
But no matter how flexible it is, it can't withstand the continuous attacks.
Josh's physical energy was rapidly depleting.
She struggled to hang on the bars of the cage to avoid the attack of the vines, but because she was too slow, a gash was cut on her arm.
The vines wrapped around her slender ankles, seeming to drag her underground.
Josh grabbed the railing with quick eyes and hands, and his ankle was tightly entangled with thorns and vines, pulling up and down.
At her ankles, thorn barbs pricked her skin, and blood flowed to the ground drop by drop, splashing with blood.
"Well..." The person on the bed suddenly turned over, as if he was disturbed by the slightest movement.
The vine quickly retracted into the ground and disappeared.
Josh fell to the floor, wincing in pain.
She quickly climbed onto the cushion next to her and sat down, looking at the wound on her foot.
"I haven't caught anyone yet, but the little guy fell into my cage by himself." The man's voice was a little hoarse, as if he had just woken up.
Josh looked up, but her eyes were completely dark, as if something was deliberately preventing her from seeing the other person's face clearly.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to intrude on your territory." Josh said.
The man walked over to the cage and unlocked it.
Josh put the knife behind him warily and watched as the man with a dark face came in, leaned over to pick her up and put her on the sofa outside.
It doesn't look like there's any harm in it.
Josh looked at him calmly.
This NPC looked like one she had seen in the study before, and his voice was very similar.
She asked tentatively: "Have we met in the study?"
The other party didn't answer her, he just held her ankle forcefully and applied medicine to her.
Josh wanted to say something else, but the other party suddenly interrupted her: "How did you get in?"
Josh said truthfully: "I accidentally fell into a tunnel and slipped in."
The man smiled, "Which room did you go to?"
"Which one?" Josh looked at the black shadow in front of him: "Do you mean the toy room?"
The black shadow didn't say anything else. He just rang the bell on the bedside and told her, "Don't go near that room again next time."
Soon a maid was summoned.
The maids had strange expressions, like fear and awe. After coming in, they picked up Josh and left.
Josh was sent back to his room, and someone thoughtfully brought fresh food.
Does this mean that it’s okay if she doesn’t go to the restaurant for lunch?
That man seems to be a very key figure.
The maid soon brought another bowl of fresh red soup, which smelled of rich roses and mixed with a subtle smell of blood.
Josh frowned slightly: "What is this?"
The maid said respectfully: "It's rose juice. Apply this to the wound and it will heal soon."
What else did Josh want to say, but they had already retreated, as if they were afraid that Josh would ask anything else.
The corners of her mouth twitched slightly and she looked at the contents of the bowl suspiciously.
The man didn't seem to have much ill will towards her.
She thought for a moment and without hesitation, poured rose juice on the wound.
A cool touch came from the wound, and her wound healed quickly.
This was the first time she had seen such a magical thing.
But considering that this is in the copy, it is not surprising.
She got out of bed and moved, but no one felt any discomfort at the wound.
It seems that she is quite lucky, and it can be said that she has gained a lot in the morning.
She increased the chef's favorability, obtained the prince's diary, unlocked the prince's tragic childhood, and also came into contact with the mysterious NPC.
She had a hunch that that NPC must be very important.
All of this seemed to go too smoothly for her.
I don't know if it's her illusion, but I always feel that this copy is favoring her intentionally or unintentionally, and everything goes very smoothly.
She got up and went out, checking in with Thomas to change rooms.
She killed three people in the morning, and she could just change rooms.
When she arrived at Thomas' office, she saw no one. She asked a maid and was told that Thomas was leading people to weed in the yard.
She quickly walked to the yard and saw people weeding and pulling out the thorns and roses with great fanfare.
There was a fire nearby, and the maids were burning the thorns that had been pulled out.
There was a strong wind in the sky, whirring loudly, and Josh could vaguely hear the screams of the vines.
She walked to Thomas: "Mr. Thomas."
When Thomas saw that it was her, his attitude became more respectful: "Miss Josh."
Josh was a little surprised by his unusual attitude, but asked calmly: "Why do we need to weed suddenly? Aren't these thorns and roses beautiful in the courtyard?"
Thomas smiled respectfully: "It's His Highness's order, saying that these thorns can easily scratch people, so it's better not to plant them."
As soon as he finished speaking, the flames from the fire next to him suddenly flew up, like some kind of feeble struggle.
Thomas quickly pushed Josh aside: "Stand over, don't get burned by the flames."
He spoke warmly, but when his eyes glanced at the flames beside him, his eyes were as cold as ice.
The flames instantly became much calmer.
Josh looked at these calmly and suddenly smiled: "Well, His Highness's order is more important. I'm just here to change rooms. This is the room key."
Thomas took the key from her hand and smiled: "You have been the first one to change rooms for several days in a row. You have done a good job. I will change you to a high-end bedroom now. After that, you don't have to talk to anyone else." Now that you’ve switched rooms, you’ll have full access to the bedroom.”
Josh took a look at the key in his hand: "This is... the room on the fourth floor?"
Thomas smiled and nodded.
Josh narrowed his eyes: "I remember that the room on the fourth floor is occupied by His Highness, right?"
Thomas smiled calmly: "Of course it's not just that. Some new VIP rooms have been opened recently. Only guests who perform well can get the right to live on the fourth floor."
Obviously, the other party was determined to move her to the fourth floor.
Josh accepted the key with a smile: "Okay, thank you Mr. Thomas."
In other words, from today on, she doesn't need to change rooms anymore.
"That's not fair!" A woman's sharp voice suddenly sounded next to her.
Josh thought another female ghost had come out in broad daylight, but turned around and saw Mina standing behind her.
"Miss Mina." Josh smiled politely.
Both teams of twins were wiped out, and she and Mina were the only two little girls left alive in all the teams.
Mina was so angry that she ran over and asked: "Why can Josh sleep in the room on the fourth floor but we can only sleep in those haunted rooms? Do you know that since I came to this castle, I haven't slept well for almost a day?" Yes! The dark circles under my eyes are so heavy that it feels like I was punched twice!"
Josh asked strangely: "Why don't you sleep?" (End of Chapter)
