The lights in the hall were dim, the firewood in the fireplace was burning brightly, and there was a slight popping sound from time to time.
The beauty dressed in white was sitting on the sofa with a fox fur cloak, a small ball, and a furry collar that made her face even more delicate.
She was startled by the sudden sound behind her and looked back in a hurry.
I saw a thin figure standing in the shadow of the stairs not far behind her.
It was her fiancé, Duke Adams.
Yu Tangzhi put down the teacup and stood up. The bright pearl earrings in his ears were swinging in the air, reflecting the orange light.
"Good evening, Duke."
The young man in the shadow was dazzled by the light, and his lead-grey eyes narrowed slightly.
"Good evening, Miss Yu."
Adams stepped out of the shadows, his thin figure gradually becoming clearer.
The two are similar in age, but Adams has already turned gray early, with a cyan color in his cold white skin, and a faint air of death lingering in his handsome face.
He wore a well-cut camel silk cotton single-breasted vest and an ivory white silk shirt, but he looked thin because of his extremely thin figure.
The young man's dark pupils reflected the girl's beautiful face, and he looked at her silently.
"The snowstorm is coming soon. It's hard to travel and travel. Thank you for your hard work."
Yu Tangzhi had been observing him silently since he appeared. The sweet and indifferent smile had been welded to his face, and he replied with a slight smile:
"You're welcome, Duke. Ever since I received your letter, my father asked me to leave immediately, hoping to complete the engagement as soon as possible."
Adams also smiled. He walked closer slowly and said with unclear meaning:
"Thank you for your support."
After speaking, he suddenly coughed.
The boy's chest was like a broken bellows, whirring. He deftly took out a handkerchief from his chest pocket and covered his mouth.
Yu Tangzhi was frightened by his shocking cough.
The girl raised her eyebrows slightly, secretly frightened, but there was a look of concern on her face.
Adams suddenly felt a gentle tap on his back. He raised his head and ran into the girl's amber eyes, who were looking at him worriedly.
The young man's light gray eyes were lifeless, tired and old.
Yu Tangzhi didn't notice his eyes, but was shocked by his slightly lower body temperature and skinny back.
It seems that he is really seriously ill and will not die soon.
At this time, Vincent walked forward quietly, his tall figure bowed slightly, and said respectfully:
"Master, the time is up. It's time for you to go back to your room and rest."
As soon as he finished speaking, the heavy and simple wall clock in the castle rang.
Ten o'clock, ten o'clock in the evening.
Adams stopped coughing, put the handkerchief back into his pocket, and said to the girl:
"It's late at night, so please go to bed early."
After the two said good night to each other, Adams went back to his room alone.
The hall fell silent for a moment, with only the whining wind outside the window and the slight crackle of firewood in the fireplace.
Vincent changed out of his outer coat and was now wearing a straight black tuxedo. He was tall, had long legs, wide shoulders and narrow waist.
There was always a smile on his perfect face, his blue eyes looked at the slim girl in front of the sofa, and said:
"Miss, your room is ready. I will take you there."
"Excuse me."
The two of them stepped onto the wooden stairs one after the other.
However, Yu Tangzhi noticed the wording of his previous words to Adams.
It's time to go back to your room.
He seemed to be driving Adams back to his room to rest.
Yu Tangzhi changed his mind and looked up at the man's back, thinking about how to phrase it as he walked.
Unconsciously, Vincent, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
The girl was distracted and bumped into the man's back without paying attention.
"Hey~"
Yu Tangzhi rubbed his sore nose, his eyelids were flushed with tears.
"Why did you stop suddenly?"
Vincent turned around and saw her pitiful little appearance, and said with a smile in his eyes:
"Sorry, it is my fault."
He pushed open the innermost door on the third floor and continued:
"Your room has arrived."
Yu Tangzhi walked in, and with the light of the candlestick on the table, she was shocked by the furnishings in the room.
The room is large, with a large bed in the middle, covered with layers of soft cushions, which looks very comfortable.
The tulle bed curtain hangs from the top to cover it, which is very carefully decorated.
But that's not the point.
Yu Tangzhi's pupils were shocked as he looked at the fiery red roses surrounding the room.
"What's going on with these flowers?"
This is too weird. Where did the rose flowers come from in the middle of winter?
A smile flashed in the eyes of the deacon behind him, and he said calmly:
"These roses are from the Duke's collection and are specially prepared for you."
"Do you like it?"
Unbelieving, Yu Tangzhi leaned over and touched the fiery red petals, and found that they were actually fresh flowers.
"Oh my god..."
The tall and handsome deacon watched her silently from behind the girl.
Yu Tangzhi wore an off-white skirt, which outlined her slender waist. Her neck is slender and graceful, her black hair is neatly tucked behind her ears, and pearl earrings hang from her lustrous earlobes.
She only had to stand there quietly, and the warm and brilliant roses would no longer be able to compete with them.
Even though he had seen countless beauties, Vincent couldn't help but sigh:
"it's beautiful."
The man's voice was low and magnetic, adding a hint of hoarseness at this time.
It was like a weak current flowing through the fragile and sensitive auricle.
Yu Tangzhi couldn't help but touched his little ears with his hands, and agreed with difficulty:
"It is indeed beautiful. Thank you Duke for your kindness."
Vincent didn't point it out, but the smile on his lips deepened.
"My dear lady,"
"Salzburg has regulations that you cannot open the door and walk around at will between midnight and six o'clock the next morning."
"Please be sure to rest early."
"Eh?"
Yu Tangzhi was a little surprised and asked curiously:
"What will happen if you open the door and go out after midnight?"
The man lowered his eyes, his long and thick eyelashes covering the darkness under his eyes.
"If it were you -"
"They'll probably be dragged to any corner and filled up."
Yu Tangzhi:!!!
Tongzi Jiumin, this is actually an 18+ game? ! (frightened face)
8019:...Nonsense, we are a serious horror decryption game! (Guilty)
The little girl's face turned red and white.
The hollow lace veil hanging from the top hat could not hide her twinkling eyes and fluttering eyelashes.
Vincent admired her expression with evil intentions, and finally said:
"Of course I'm joking."
"The Duke's illness requires rest, so this rule is in place."
Only then did Yu Tangzhi realize that he had just been tricked by the paper man. He blushed with embarrassment and said:
"The deacon is really funny."
Vincent's azure pupils became more intense in color, and faint silver complex patterns flashed past.
He smiled lightly and leaned down, placing a soft kiss on the girl's forehead through the gauze.
"Have sweet dreams."
