For The Glory Of Sitia Empire

Chapter 9



Chapter 9

Roosevelt was about to follow Eleanor, who rushed out of the living room. But was stopped by Lennox's' indifferent tone.

Lennox: "Roosevelt.... tell your sister that the one she saw was Everly ".

Roosevelt doubtfully said:" how can your highness be sure?".

' that stupid zombie, I told her to find some suspicious things, not suspicious people!!!! I already know that bitch is trying to escape, I was planning to gouge her eyes later. but most importantly zombie girl hadn't brought my candies yet!! '

Lennox:" I just do. Also, since she is awake I would like to have a nice chat with the five of you gathered ".

The strange smile Lennox formed, made Roosevelt's heart uncomfortable.

' Does he think that the culprit is one of us?!!'

However, Roosevelt could not do anything but bow in obedience. He exited the room for ten minutes, leaving Ajiad alone with Lennox, then returned with Adelaide and Eleanor, not long has passed and Bertha returned with the servants.

Once a certain maid stepped in, Lennox's gaze focused on her. The maid looked normal, her high was the average for women, her beauty was in the average standers, her body build looked ordinary.

In other words, she was unsuspicious.

unsuspicious in a suspicious way, suspecting someone unsuspicious might seem ridiculous, however, this very maid is suspicious because she is 100% unsuspicious. No one can hit the middle of human standards to this extent.

' could that hussy be..... Welfmores' rat!'

Thanks to Lennox's' tough face muscles, his real expression didn't show on his face. Instead, his smirk that lasted for few seconds was enough for the Alphonsus to know that they were about to be fucked up.

'Now that I have the scenario, I need to choose the actors..... how about igniting a little flame'

Lennox scanned the people who were swallowing their nervous saliva. He said with a solemn tone:" I will put it simply, one of you guys, the family members, is responsible for the death of mister McMillan".

He Leisurely took a sip of his tea, before completing: "do you have someone in mind?".

********

Half an hour before.

After Everly left the living room, she started to search for the kitchen. She got lost at the mansion couple of times before finding her way into it.

A maid noticed Everly who was hesitating whether or not she should go in. The maid walked closer to the little girl, looking at Everly's attire her heart jumped in excitement.

She clapped her hands, lowered her torso to be on the same level as Everly, then said cheerfully:" what do you want dear?".

Everly avoided the maids' gaze and kept staring at the floor, she said fidgeting:" may I have some candies, miss?".

Before, when Lennox and Everly both arrived at the mansion. Everyone was too terrified of that so-called crown prince, thus no one was able to focus on who he was with. Now, seeing a little cutie-pie girl wandering in the mansion asking for candies, can only mean that she came here 'cause of the festival.

The maid warped her arms around Everly, like a giant wild bear hugging a weasel, she rubbed her cheek on the Everly's.

The maid said with high energy: "ooooww~ you are so~ cute, you even have a dinky sword".

She turned in the direction of her colleagues and shouted enthusiastically: "hey guys, a little knight ghost knocked on our doors!!".

"Already?!!".

"Where, where. let me see!".

"I thought we are not celebrating, due to the masters' death".

"Oow~ she looks gorgeous ".

" more like a real knight than a ghost knight".

dozen of people gathered around her, some patting, some kissing, some hugging, and some squeezing her cheeks. She was tortured in various ways. However, Everly knew that after people do such things, she would usually get something in return.

And as expected Everly received a basket full of sweet things.

Now that she had laid her hands on gems, it's time to explore the mansion. Everly passed a few doors when she suddenly remembered.

'When we were at the entrance, mister Rossy (Roosevelt) said that everyone at the house was there. But I am sure I saw someone from the window.....I will check it out'

She hanged the basket on her forearm and jumped out of the closest window to her.

Outside, the darkness has already started to mix up with the pale tint of orange. The small delighting lights shining all around the town.

Everly climbed to the window above her. She supported herself on the stool, while her legs were swinging down.

On the other side of the window, the curtain was half shut. And from the space lifted, a dark-blond-haired woman could be seen. She looked in a hurry, 'cause she was messily warping her bag.

'Is she leaving somewhere? Should I go and say bye-bye?'

Everly raised her legs and sat on the stool, she tried to open the window but it did not move.

' is it stuck?'

She put more strength on her hands and accidentally broke the window pane. The glass shattered, wind blew in and the red curtain danced at a passionate pace.

" kyaaaaaa "

The woman screamed in fear, she threw the clothes in her hands and took two steps back while staring at Everly fearfully. When Everly stepped into the room the woman immediately ran out of the room.

'Did I scare her?!!'

That woman's reaction made Everly somehow depressed. Everly had always been loved and cared about. Being feared or hated is something new, and she did not like these feelings.

Now that she had forgotten what she was originally doing, Everly turned to the window to return back to Lennox. However, the scene of the town appeared again in front of her eyes.

Before she came to the palace with Jennings, Everly used to live in a small peaceful town like this. Everyone was lively, kind and cheerful, she enjoyed every day there.

Everly murmured in a Distressing tone:" master....I miss you".

She made up her mind and jumped out of the broken window towards the town.
