With the butler's guidance, the two quickly returned to the hall where the dance was held.
The atmosphere in the hall was still good, and the sharp scream did not affect the interest of this group of nobles.
Maybe everyone was calmed down by the duchess, or maybe everyone just regarded it as a minor incident.
Branton slid onto the dance floor, while the butler quickly came to the Duchess's side.
He bent down and turned his head and said something in the lady's ear.
The smile on the lady's face did not change. She raised a small fan to cover her mouth with her slender hand and whispered to the housekeeper. Finally, her eyes accurately found Branton who was dancing with other noble ladies, and her eyes were filled with tears. It's playful.
It didn't take long for the Duchess to announce the end of the ball, and the nobles left one after another in the darkness.
"Mr. Branton, please follow me." Seeing that the guests were almost gone, a valet finally came over.
His sister Alice stood alone and at a loss.
Brandon pointed at Alice and asked, "Where does my sister live?"
At this time, a middle-aged maid walked over quickly, and the male servant said, "Sir, don't worry, Marpel will take good care of Miss Alice."
Brandon nodded at Alice and left with the manservant.
The noisy castle fell silent, and people felt an inexplicable chill. Alice tightened her shawl, quickened her pace, and followed Marpel closely.
Soon, the two came to a guest room that had been prepared.
Marpel only said, "If you have any further instructions, please come find me." Then she turned around, closed the door, and retreated.
Alice stood at the door in a daze for a moment, then turned around and came to the wide open window. The cold wind blew in, and she looked out into the darkness in the distance. The green grass and flowers she saw before seemed to be the first floor of the castle. The gauze is to cover up the illusion of swallowing people at this time.
She stretched out her hand and closed the window tightly to isolate the frightening feeling. She turned her head and caught a glimpse of the bookshelf at the end of the bed. She was immediately attracted and couldn't help but walk over.
The valet led Branton to the room, knocked on the door, made a gesture to invite him in, and quietly left.
Branton looked blankly at the Duchess sitting on the bench by the window in the large bedroom.
He asked in surprise, "Aunt, why are you in my room?"
The lady picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then replied slowly, "My dear nephew, this is my bedroom."
Branton was at a loss for a moment and didn't understand the meaning of the duchess's move.
The lady patted the seat next to her and said, "Sit next to me and have a drink with me."
Her wrist shook slightly, and the red wine reflected its intoxicating color in the glass.
Branton swallowed a sip of saliva and relaxed immediately. What else is he afraid of in the game? Seize the opportunity and rush.
"I heard from the butler that you got lost in the castle earlier?"
"My aunt's castle is too big. It happened that I had a few too many drinks at the banquet, and my mind was a little confused. I took the wrong road and could never find my way back." Blanton looked at Chi Chi and Ji who were close by. The aggressive mature woman's face still answered perfectly.
"Oh? I thought you, Brandon, were so frightened by that cry that you couldn't find your way!" Those black eyes seemed to be able to see through all illusions, they were deep and charming, and people couldn't help but sink in.
"My aunt was joking, but the scream really startled me." He looked at the duchess sincerely and asked, "So, what happened to my aunt? How can I help you?"
Branton's heart was filled with longing. Could this be the secret hidden in the castle?
The lady chuckled lightly, raised her hand and patted the young man's face, looked out the window at the endless darkness, and said casually, "It's just a punishment for a disobedient insect. Young people, it's not good to be too curious."
After she finished speaking, she put down her wine glass and raised her hand to give a high-five. The manservant who had brought Branton earlier appeared.
The lady looked at Branton and said, "My dear nephew, I wish you a good sleep."
Branton knew that he was completely at a disadvantage in this round, so he left without any entanglement and left with the manservant.
Not long after he left, a man who looked similar to Branton came in through the hidden door in the bedroom.
But the man was sour when he spoke, "I thought Madam would keep him."
"Adair, he is my nephew..."
"Oh, I'm still your bodyguard."
…
"Adair, it's time for you to leave." He was kicked out just after enjoying a perfect time, but who can tell him where the girl who needs to be saved is?
Adair was a little dissatisfied. He was also a player. After entering the dungeon game, he stayed in a gorgeous room. The previous excitement had nothing to do with him. He only stayed there until late at night when the maid notified him to find his wife. .
He seemed to be the secret lover kept by the Duchess.
What's even more terrible is that the identity of this body is that of the Duke's bodyguard who was left to protect his wife while he was on an expedition? !
The expensive circle is simply in chaos.
He convinced himself that it was nothing, but it was thrown away after being used up.
So when can he find the girl and save her?
Adair had just been preparing to express his emotions, but Madam seemed to have changed. Her enthusiasm turned into cold. She said in a low and cold voice, "Adair, you have exceeded the rules! You should know that my favorite is Be obedient and get out!"
Adair seemed to see the astonishing bloodthirst in the lady's dark eyes, which scared him so much that he hurried back to wherever he came from!
Back in the original room, his heart was still beating fast.
After a while, he finally felt relieved and felt that he really shouldn't be so fragile.
But today was just the first day in the game dungeon, so there was no need to be so anxious. He should just take a nap first and then explore slowly.
Night can always hide most secrets.
Zhou Tang, who was in a cage in the corner of the castle, was holding the iron spoon she had hidden in her hand, hiding under the quilt, and rubbing the stone wall carefully.
But the slow efficiency gave her a headache. She wouldn't have to grind all night to get a reasonably useful weapon, right?
At this time, the beautiful girl with long legs came to her side silently. Zhou Tang felt something keenly. He turned over and hid the hand holding the spoon behind his back, pretending to be asleep.
The long legs didn't let her go, and woke her up from her false sleep with an elbow.
"Hey! I know you're not asleep! I heard it all!"
Zhou Tang suddenly turned over and put the not-so-sharp spoon against the chin of the long leg.
His long legs almost reached out from behind her and held her hand.
"Don't get excited!" Big Legs' mouth moved slightly, "I also hid a spoon, and I also want to leave here. Since we have the same purpose, let's work together."
