There was no moonlight tonight, and the arc-shaped crescent moon only stayed in the sky for more than an hour before disappearing. But in fact, even when the moon is still in the sky today, the faint crimson light is not enough to illuminate the night sky.
At this time, only human beings can create their own things, and those different types of lights can solve the lighting problem.
Parker, the valet guarding the door of the manor, couldn't help but sneeze.
The count and his family are not at home today, but the manor is still brightly lit, and the male and female servants who cannot follow them are busy preparing for the return of the masters.
Parker does not need to be involved in these things today. His only task today is to guard the gate of the manor and tell the other servants when he discovers the carriage returned by the owners of the manor so that they can be prepared to welcome it.
When Mr. Butler left, he asked them not to be too casual in welcoming them, so as not to ruin Mr. Earl's good mood for the day, because the dinner Mr. Earl attended today was extremely important.
Parker didn't understand the logic between the two, but that didn't matter. He just had to follow the head butler's instructions.
He looked up at the deserted street and couldn't help shaking his body. He should have put on another coat, he couldn't help but think.
The weather in Feneport City in October has gradually turned cooler, and the temperature difference between day and night has gradually begun to increase. There is no doubt that the valet's uniform has become a bit thin for such weather.
But this is good, at least he doesn't have to worry about his livelihood.
He heard that many craftsmen this year, especially the former helpers and apprentices of the guild, were worried about how they would survive this winter because they were about to lose their jobs this fall. If you cannot find a job that is enough to support your family before winter, you can imagine how difficult this winter will be.
Parker looked up again toward the end of the street. There was still no one there. He sighed slightly. He didn't know how long this dinner would last and had to stay here and wait. Otherwise, if you miss it, it will be a trivial matter to be punished by Mr. Earl. Once you lose your job, you, like the group of craftsmen, will have to worry about this winter.
"Are you waiting for father and the others to come back?" A voice sounded next to him, which scared Parker so much that he couldn't help but tremble.
He subconsciously turned his gaze to the source of the sound, and saw a girl wearing a black corset dress standing in the shadow of the trees. He recognized this as Miss Agnes. She was dressed like this when she went out today.
"Miss?" Parker bowed quickly, feeling a little strange in his heart.
When did she come back? Where is the carriage? Why didn't you see it yourself?
A gust of wind blew by, and Parker couldn't help sneezing.
Parker blushed, looked embarrassed, and felt a little uneasy. He didn't have much contact with this young lady. After all, he was just an ordinary third-class male servant who had just joined the job. He wasn't very sure what kind of person this young lady was, and he was a little worried that his impolite actions would lead to reprimand.
"You can go and stay in your room first. Father and the others won't be back for a while." Miss Agnes frowned and looked at the street outside with a somewhat hollow gaze.
"But, but..." Parker wanted to say that the job the head butler had assigned him tonight was to stay here and wait for Mr. Earl's arrival, but he felt that he shouldn't say that, so he could only support it for the moment. He hesitated and couldn't say complete words.
"Forget it, come with me." Agnes turned around and walked inside without any hesitation. Parker gritted his teeth and followed.
Agnes went straight upstairs and walked to her small study.
"You stay at the door and don't allow anyone to come in and disturb me before I come out." Agnes ordered casually.
After thinking about it, she added: "If someone ignores your reminder, tell them that there will be consequences at their own risk. Do you understand?"
Parker nodded quickly, and Agnes walked into the study expressionlessly.
The sense of oppression on this young lady was so strong. After Agnes walked in, Parker couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
I don’t know what this young lady is doing alone.
Due to his status, he did not have the opportunity to come into contact with the owners of this manor. All his knowledge of these people came from the private whispers of the maids who were a little bit gossipy. He only heard that this young lady was a little weird and not very good. She likes to be served by many people, and will only allow servants other than her personal maid to help when she is tedious in dressing up before a ball or dinner.
Parker felt that this young lady was indeed a little weird. He did not see when this young lady entered the manor at all. The interval between his raising his head twice did not exceed one minute, and this young lady came to his side. .
Moreover, when he followed the young lady, he also noticed that there were some weird things about the young lady. He found that this lady... didn't seem to be wearing shoes, and there was a faint smell... that seemed to be blood?
Parker was horrified and didn't dare to think about it anymore. He just felt that the brightly lit manor suddenly became dark. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but he felt that his body seemed to be getting colder and colder.
He wandered around uneasily, neither daring to go in nor daring to leave.
He felt his heart pounding, and his five senses seemed to be getting sharper. He could hear Miss Agnes pulling the square table on one side of the room, and then he couldn't hear anything anymore.
After a while, the door behind him was opened. He was shocked and turned around quickly. Then he smelled a smell like chamomile hydrosol mixed with nut essential oil. Miss Agnes walked away holding a black notebook. out.
He looked through the opened door and saw that the square table originally placed on one side of the room was pulled to the middle of the study, and the vase on it was moved to the desk. It was clean and there was nothing on it.
"You can leave now. If you still want to guard the door of the manor, you'd better put on a coat before going out. I don't want anyone to say that the Pagani family treats their servants harshly." He heard Miss Agnes speak. said.
"Yes, yes, I understand, Miss Agnes." Parker nodded and bowed quickly.
Agnes frowned and walked straight to the other side of the corridor, ignoring Parker.
After Agnes left, Parker wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, quickly went downstairs, ran to the servant's room, took a coat, and ran outside the house, feeling much more at ease.
