Chapter 262 "The Secret Sequel of the Night Rabbit"
After Lily returned to the Temple of Silver and Tin, she began to confirm what she would bring for tomorrow's trip.
She hummed softly and checked her luggage repeatedly and lively.
In fact, compared with Aiwass, Lily was the one who was more excited about the trip. She was really looking forward to this trip.
She had never left Glass Island since she was born - before entering the Moriarty family, she lived in Lloyd's District; and then she went to White Queen District.
Even before Aiwass took her to the Temple of Silver and Tin to ask Isabel for a place for her to enter school... Lily had not left Moriarty Manor for several years, let alone White Queen District and Glass Island.
It's not that Aiwass didn't give her a holiday.
It's because Lily would use her rare holiday to read and enrich herself.
- However, this is not because Lily doesn't like going out.
On the one hand, it's because she doesn't have much free time, and she is eager to read; and the reason she wants to read is because she instinctively doesn't want to spend the rest of her life as an ignorant maid.
From this point of view, it also proves that Lily does have the insatiable blood of Droste flowing in her body.
On the other hand... it is because Lily does not want to leave Aiwas for too long.
It is precisely because she has read a lot of books that she has more knowledge than other servants. Therefore, she knows that girls who usually serve as personal maids will not be as lucky as herself.
There are regular holidays, generous wages, being allowed to read the master's books, sometimes eating together when there are no outsiders, and the master she serves is also so young, smart, handsome and gentle...
Lily knows that she is lucky.
Therefore, she does not want to miss this kind of luck.
So even on vacation, she is reluctant to leave Moriarty Manor. What if Aiwas happens to need her on the day she is on vacation? What if Aiwas has an accident on the day she is not at home? If someone else takes care of Aiwas at that time, will she no longer be Aiwas's personal maid when she comes back?
After all, in Avalon, real big men are generally not worthy of personal maids.
For example, the heirs of the family almost all have close male servants from childhood.
They are stronger and more powerful, can help carry heavy objects, and can protect the master. They grew up together, and are even closer than brothers, and they play together wherever they go. They can be coachmen, bodyguards, cooks, assistants, secretaries... This is more free than the close maids who need to maintain beauty and decency.
Edward had not joined the Inspectorate at that time, so he could still inherit the Moriarty family. So Mr. James was the male servant for Edward and the maid for Aiwas.
After that, Edward joined the Inspectorate. According to the rules of Avalon, after joining the Inspectorate, you can't touch the family business-this is to prevent abuse of power for personal gain. After all, the main job of the inspectors is to monitor the various knight families.
In other words.
Lily knew that from then on, the first heir of the Moriarty family was Aiwas.
As a male head of a family, he brought a personal maid with him... According to the books Lily read, this would be laughed at by people of the same level in public social occasions in Avalon. This is basically like saying "I haven't grown up yet and need a maid to take care of me", or admitting that I don't have the opposite sex, and I don't have a lover who is decent enough, excellent enough, and recognized by the elders in my family.
There are nearly a hundred knight families in Avalon on Glass Island alone, and there are only a little over ten heads of families with maids. And the impression they give people is basically the type that tends to be gentle and weak.
——Since she knew this, Lily has been very anxious. She was very afraid that as long as she went out, she would no longer be Master Aiwas's maid when she came back, and she might even be kicked out of the Moriarty family because she was no longer useful...
If it was the first few years after she joined the Moriarty family, she might be happy. Because that means she is free.
But now she is no longer naive, and has gradually understood a lot of things-she is alone outside, without a family, without support, where can she go? Is it like what is written in the book, marrying someone you have never seen and do not love, and becoming the wife of a businessman or scholar?
She does not even have parents.
Without parents, there is no home.
And Mr. James and Aiwass, who are so good to her, are her family. Mr. Edward is always old-fashioned and silent, Miss Yulia is gentle and kind, they are all kind and good people.
It only takes one time to be separated from family. Lily is always afraid of being abandoned again.
So Lily never dares to go out for vacation; that is why Lily pays attention to maintaining her beauty and etiquette, thirsting for knowledge, and showing loyalty. The root cause of all these impulses is the fear hidden deep in her heart that she does not even perceive.
Just like cats and dogs that have been abandoned once, they will become very obedient when they are picked up and raised again.
- As long as they can stay together, it will be fine.
When Lily was shared with Aiwass the opportunity to step into the extraordinary path, she was really happy.
This means that she will become more useful. It also means that Aiwass values her equally and does not regard her as a burden that needs to be replaced and makes him less decent.
Now, Aiwass even takes her with him when traveling...
Does this mean that she has become useful? I won't be abandoned again...
After confirming this, the fear in her heart was diluted. The shadow was like a tea brick brewed by hot water, turning into warm, bright and floral-scented water.
After feeling at ease, she subconsciously began to crave for more.
As Lily packed her luggage, she began to feel the desire in her heart gradually amplified.
I want to monopolize the young master, I want to love him, I want to love him hard.
Want to...eat him. I want to suck his blood and chew his flesh and blood...
As she fantasized in her mind, her pupils gradually turned scarlet. Breathing gradually became heavier, and the heartbeat became more intense, and the heartbeat became so loud that it resounded in the ears.
"……Huh?"
Lily paused suddenly, and her eyes widened slightly in surprise.
Her strength to adapt to the path suddenly calmed her down.
"Why……"
She was surprised that her thoughts suddenly began to wander.
At this moment, Lily suddenly felt a slight abnormality coming from the room.
She followed the vague impulse in her heart and walked over.
I found that it was the birdcage that the young master had placed on his desk during the day.
Inside the birdcage was supposed to be a book. It was the "Morning Crow Tantra" that the young master read a few days ago. When the young master was reading this book, his clothes were burned off and his hair grew longer.
--but.
Lily's eyes suddenly opened wide, and her heart palpitated for a moment: "The book...is missing?"
I saw that the book in the birdcage disappeared and turned into a big snow-white rabbit.
The rabbit's scarlet eyes stared at her motionlessly, making Lily feel a little uneasy.
But what really worried her was that the young master's tantra book was missing.
"Damn it, how could..."
Lily walked over subconsciously, wanting to check if the rabbit had sat the book under her butt.
But when she got close to the rabbit, a hallucination suddenly appeared in front of her eyes——
She saw the birdcage suddenly open and the rabbit jump out.
The world around her instantly turned into a snowy scene - she was no longer in the room, but appeared in the deep snowy night.
The rabbit glanced at her in front, and then ran forward.
"do not run!"
Lily's heart surged with intense irritation and overwhelming anger, and her rationality disappeared.
She didn't realize how unusual this snowy night was, but subconsciously chased after him: "Come back quickly!"
