Chapter 290: Not loving you is your lie!

Jian Yue was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that Chris would think of these things. Isn't this pure slander!

"I……"

Jian Yue originally wanted to ask Your Highness why you slandered others in broad daylight, but after meeting Chris's gaze, the words on his lips suddenly choked up because he saw hurt in Chris's eyes.

There was such a moment.

Jian Yue realized that he couldn't let it go on like this any longer. This relationship was bound to hurt Chris. Instead of dragging it on like this, it would be better to be more decisive.

then.

Jian Yue took a deep breath, raised his eyes, and asked, "Your Highness, I think that even if there is something going on between Ms. Martha and I, I think it should be allowed, right? I am a male servant and she is a maid. If we are together, even the Duke will bless us."

As expected, after he said this, Chris's face turned very bad.

Chris's handsome face showed some anger, and there was obvious anger in his eyes. He asked: "Who allowed you to fall in love with other servants with the master's permission?"

Jane Yue was prepared. He looked at Chris and said, "Your Highness, this is just my one-sided wishful thinking about Martha. I don't think you can blame her for this. If there is anything to blame, you can blame me."

This sentence simply blocked Chris's way.

The noble Lord had never been so angry before. He only heard the crisp sound of a vase falling to the ground in the room, and then Chris said in a somewhat cold voice: "Do you really think I dare not punish you?"

Jian Yue knew that he dared, and because he knew, he knew that this was a step that had to be taken until it was necessary. Jian Yue slowly walked to the ground, knelt down and said, "You are my master, and any punishment you give me is justified."

He knelt on the ground, clearly a gesture of admitting his guilt, but it made Chris even angrier.

Chris's hand was shaking as he pointed at Jian Yue. His eyes were as red as the brightest gemstones. He said, "You...you..."

He seemed so angry that he couldn't speak.

Jian Yue was a little nervous. He was wondering how angry Chris would be with him. But after experiencing something like this, Chris, who was very proud, probably wouldn't give him another chance, right?

Just thinking about it.

“I won’t allow it,” Chris said.

Jian Yue looked up at him in surprise. He didn't expect Chris to speak so directly. After thinking about it, Jian Yue simply asked directly: "Why?"

When my eyes met Chris's.

Jian Yue asked: "Why, Your Highness?"

Chris's expression returned to calm. He said, "You are my servant. You are going back to the capital with me. I do not allow you to find a lover and start a family in this town. You also said that you are my servant, so everything needs my permission and arrangement."

The noble prince never used his power to oppress others, and he had never used his power to oppress Jian Yue, but now, he did so.

Chris looked down at the person on the ground and said, "Is this reason enough? Break up with her immediately."

Jian Yue said, "Your Highness, of course I can obey your order. As your servant, I have no right to refuse. But even though I am your servant, I am still a human being. You can decide my behavior, but feelings are not something that can be severed at will. I think Your Highness can understand this."

Chris was easily annoyed. He looked at Jian Yue like a lion that was instantly angered, staring at him intently.

Jian Yue knew that some things could not be changed. If he made this decision, then this was the only way left for him. While there was still room for a turnaround and while Chris was not yet deeply involved in it, it would be best for them to turn back.

If it is too difficult to separate, if being together will bring destruction and danger to each other, he must end it, even if Chris will be sad, even if Chris will be in pain, but he just wants him to be alive.

Chris finally said, "Get out."

Jian Yue looked up at him.

"Get out." Chris's voice was a little low and hoarse. He was really angry. Jane Yue knew that he would not be like this if he was not angry.

Jian Yue was silent for a moment, then turned and left the room. When he walked out of the room, he felt his legs were a little weak. It wasn't because he was kneeling on the ground for a while, but he just felt that he had no strength in his whole body.

As he walked out of the corridor, he met the blond butler.

The blond butler looked at Jian Yue meaningfully, and then said, "Your Highness, we will take care of your dance tomorrow, so you just need to help with the chores."

He originally thought that Jian Yue should feel extremely ashamed and angry at this point.

Jian Yue said, "Really? Okay, okay, I will definitely do my best!"

Blond housekeeper: “…”

This guy is crazy.

Jian Yue really thought it was a good idea. After all, this way, Chris wouldn't be provoked, and he could also perform on his own at the dance and find the clues he needed. How could this not be killing two birds with one stone?

Walking back from the corridor, Jian Yue returned to his lounge.

It was getting dark at this moment. Jian Yue lay on the bed. He began to think about the information and records in the book, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he saw Chris's eyes. He could not forget that look. Perhaps few people had seen such a prince. In the eyes of everyone, Chris was a high-ranking noble. In fact, he was indeed out of reach.

It would be a lie to say he didn't feel anything when that person looked at him like that.

Jian Yue thought that he could actually hold on well, because this was the best ending for both of them. But when the moment calmed down, when the world was silent and only they were left, the slowly spreading pain seemed to begin gradually, like anesthesia that had passed its protective period. When the body began to react, he felt the slow pain, wave after wave, which made it impossible to adapt.

Jian Yue didn't sleep much that night.

But when the bell outside rang, he still got up on time.

In fact, it was not even daybreak yet, and all the servants in the room were about to get up. The maid shouted outside: "Get up quickly, lazy people. Today is the day when the Duke is hosting a ball. If you are slow, he will not let anyone off. For the sake of your lives, you must cheer up, otherwise..."

The maid smiled sinisterly.

Everyone was silent because they knew exactly what this meant.

Jian Yue stood at the back of the crowd and listened. Ji Xingle asked in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid when you hear this?"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Jian Yue said, "Do you think that even if you listen to the Duke, you will get something good?"

Ji Xingle: “…”

It seems to make sense.

The other taskers who were originally nervous were also afraid, but after accidentally hearing Jian Yue's words, everyone's faces went numb, not for anything else, but because... it really made sense!!

The audience in the live broadcast room were all amused by this reaction:

"Ahahahaha, Butler Wang, you're so damn relaxed."

"It has a miraculous effect not only on the audience, but also on the companions."

"The maid's threats were in vain."

Everyone was discussing it with great interest.

The maids have already started assigning tasks to the people. Jian Yue's assigned task is to welcome the guests who come to the manor. The reason is very simple. Although his appearance is not very handsome, it is acceptable and he has a handsome face.

Jian Yue himself actually doesn't care much.

It doesn't matter where we go, as long as it's convenient for him to observe.

The whole manor seemed lively with the ball, the flower garden was cleaned very neatly, the whole hall was cleaned up, and even the weather seemed to have become much better.

The invited guests came in one after another.

Jian Yue stood in front to greet the guests, accept the invitations, and confirm that they were invitations sent by the manor. While accepting the invitations, he observed the distinguished guests who came. In fact, most of them were local gentry and nobles from other towns.

He noticed that these nobles were accompanied by some very beautiful ladies.

"Give my regards to your Duke Black." The baron who handed him the invitation said with a smile, "This is my fifth time to come to this manor. Every time I come here, this town is so beautiful. To be honest, I love it here so much. Even my female companion is from this town!"

Jian Yue looked at the person beside him and saw a very beautiful girl, but she looked pale and fragile. Her skin was delicate and beautiful, but so pale that it seemed bloodless. At first glance, she looked like a beautiful doll.

"This is my female companion Mia." The baron said, "We have just met for a short time, but I like her very much. I think she is the best girl in the world. I will definitely propose to her."

Jian Yue bowed and said, "Good day, beautiful lady."

Jelica smiled at Jian Yue. The girl's eyes were a little empty, but her smile was still beautiful.

Of course, the Baron would not chat with a servant for too long. Perhaps his purpose was just to show off his beautiful wife to others. After all, he was a fat man who looked like he weighed a hundred pounds, which was not something to be proud of for a man who seemed to attach the most importance to the image of an aristocrat. However, his beautiful wife was able to save his face.

Jian Yue witnessed him and his men passing by her.

Mia was his target this time, and he didn't expect her to appear so quickly.

As they passed each other, Jian Yue leaned slightly, and a small stone flew towards him at a speed invisible to the naked eye. Mia made a small sound of pain.

Jian Yue supported the man in time: "Are you okay?"

Mia shook her head slowly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jian Yue whispered, "Your friend Margery's sister Martha asked me to say hello to you. She said you can tell me if you need anything."

Mia's body stiffened, then she nodded slightly.

Because the two people had only been together for a short time, no one could tell that they had communicated with each other.

Jian Yue was at the front and could see the venue not far away. In fact, the reason so many people came this time was not entirely because of the Duke's face, but because, in fact, these people probably all had other intentions.

because……

Everyone's attention is actually focused on just one person inside.

Lord Chris.

The red-haired man standing at the center of the misunderstanding was wearing a formal suit, which made him look tall and handsome. He held the wine glass and accepted the toast from the people around him with an elegant and carefree movement. He talked about flowers with a smile, and his cold profile seemed much softer. This man looked like this standing in the crowd. He seemed to have become the most natural leader. He knew how to communicate with anyone and he did it with ease.

Someone walked over. It was Miss Daly. Jane Yue knew that the Duke had always hoped that his daughter could marry the prince to consolidate the power and status of the Black family.

Miss Daly didn't know what she said, but Chris set his eyes on him.

The dance has begun.

From a distance, Chris looked over and his eyes fell on Mia, who had just finished talking to Jian Yue. Not sure if it was Jian Yue's illusion, the man frowned, then he turned his head and walked away with Miss Dali, and they entered the center of the dance.

Chris invited Miss Daly to dance the first dance.

You have to know that many people present wanted to get this right, because the first dance was of great significance, which represented his recognition of Miss Dali. Miss Dali was like a proud peacock. Her eyes swept across everyone, and then turned away like a beautiful butterfly.

As Jian Yue looked at Chris, her breathing tightened.

but……

The workers don’t even have time to feel sad.

Ji Xingle said, "It's time to serve the dishes."

Jian Yue: “…Okay!”

He turned and walked to the back, and when he brought the plate back, Jian Yue was looking for his target all over the place. His task was to walk around the place with the wine glass in his hand.

Just thinking about it.

There were some noises not far away. Jian Yue looked back and saw that the girl's skirt was stained. She looked around in panic. Jian Yue recognized that the back seemed to be Mia. He took the initiative to walk over and said, "Hello, do you need help?"

Mia nodded.

Jian Yue said: "I'll take you to the dressing room in the back."

Mia hurriedly followed, and Jian Yue looked at her somewhat ashamed face and said, "How did you get the wine spilled?"

Mia, who was following beside him, had a pale face with a somewhat stiff expression, but she still said, "I, I heard something."

Jian Yue asked: "If it's convenient, can you tell me about it?"

Mia thought about it, maybe she didn't have anyone to talk to, so she said, "I... I have a friend, she's from outside the town, she's a girl who's in charge of delivering nectar, I used to help my family sell nectar, and I'm very familiar with her, she's very kind to me, ever since I got the demon disease, she's always encouraged me, encouraged me to persevere, said I'll get better, she also said she'd come to the church to visit me, but she never came."

Jian Yue said: "What about now?"

Mia replied, "Just now when I heard them talking, they said that a girl who was delivering nectar died, so I..."

Jian Yue simply asked, "Do you know what the girl's name is?"

Mia replied, "Jerica."

Jian Yue said: "I can help you find out if you want to know."

Mia said happily, "Really? Oh, thank you so much."

Jian Yue smiled and said, "You're welcome. The dressing room is in front. Please go in and change your clothes."

Mia nodded.

Jian Yue turned around and went to another place, where he found Ji Xingle. Jian Yue said, "Can you ask Qi Yaya to go outside and find out the whereabouts of someone? I really need him now."

Chiaya has the ability to teleport, so it would be the best thing to let her go at this time.

Ji Xingle was just stunned for a moment, then said: "Okay, you go ahead."

Jian Yue immediately told Ji Xingle what the girl had just said to him. After hearing about this incident, Ji Xingle immediately took it seriously. He nodded and said, "Okay, leave it to me."

It would be much faster if two people acted separately.

In fact, it takes a lot of energy to inquire about this matter. Jian Yue originally thought it would take a long time. What he never expected was that Ji Xingle always failed to deliver at ordinary times, but was actually very reliable at critical moments.

After a while.

Jian Yue was still serving dishes when someone came back.

Ji Xingle found Jian Yue and said, "She is indeed dead. She went to the church but was rejected because she was just a low-level worker and lived outside the town. Therefore, the church did not allow her to visit people. But she died in the woods outside the church that night. It is said that when she was found..."

Pause.

Ji Xingle seemed a little reluctant.

Jian Yue guessed something, but still said, "Finish."

Ji Xingle took a deep breath and said, "When she was found, she was a bloody mess, with no intact skin on her body. They said she must have angered the devil and was punished by him."

Jian Yue wanted to laugh when he heard this: "Where do so many demons come from?"

Ji Xingle thought about the forest that night, shuddered, and said, "Actually, there are quite a lot."

Jian Yue said: "Don't you think this description sounds familiar?"

Ji Xingle's body froze. After thinking for a while, his voice became a little stiff: "It seems that this way of death is the same as those taskers who died in our manor. What do you mean?"

Jian Yue nodded and said, "It's better not to tell Mia about this for now. I'm afraid she can't bear it..."

Just saying.

The sound of pearls and jade breaking on the ground came from not far away.

Jian Yue and Ji Xingle turned around and found a person standing in the corridor not far away. It was Mia who had changed her clothes. It was actually quite strange. In fact, with Jian Yue's hearing, he should have been able to detect it quickly. It was just that the shock and heartache brought to him by this incident was too great. After all, it was the life of an innocent girl.

I didn't expect that I would ignore the people in the corridor because of this.

Mia's eyes were red, and before Jian Yue could think of a way to remedy the situation, the girl came over quickly and asked, "What happened? Is she really dead?"

Jian Yue was silent for a moment and glanced at Ji Xingle.

Mia was in a state of agitation. She rushed over and asked loudly, "Why did she die?"

In order to prevent her from getting hurt, Jian Yue still pulled her back. Since he already knew about it, it would be useless to cover it up. Jian Yue simply asked, "Can you tell me how you recovered from your demonic disease?"

Mia was stunned for a moment, then she said, "I... I was very ill at the time, and was later sent to the bishop's clinic. I was given medicine soaked in holy water, and when I woke up, the demon disease was cured, and my original scars faded. The bishop told me that the holy water was very precious, and it was all donated by Baron Code to the church so that I could be saved. I, I didn't want to disappoint the Baron's kindness, so I contacted him and became his female companion."

As soon as Jian Yue heard it, he knew there was something strange about it. How could holy water be so magical that it was even more powerful than plastic surgery?

"Why did she die?" Mia said in some pain: "My disease has been cured, I thought she would also know the news, but why did she die?"

Jian Yue remembered that he was in a room in the church and saw a room full of things that looked like human skin hanging on the wall of the church. He was silent for a moment and then said, "If you are really curious, maybe you can find a way to go back to the church and go back to the room where you were treated in the past to have a look."

Mia was stunned.

She looked at Jian Yue almost in disbelief.

This is a smart girl, or rather, she is one of the few girls in this town who can think quickly and react quickly. Her lips trembled as she said, "You mean... no... this is impossible..."

Jian Yue looked at her calmly without saying anything.

Mia was shaking all over. She asked, "Why? Why would they do this?"

Jian Yue said: "Maybe they also have their own purposes."

In fact, the more Jane told Mia this, the more he felt that he was trapped in this manor and didn't know when he would have the chance to get out. He couldn't even guarantee that he would have the time and opportunity to meet Mia again, so he could tell her the truth.

But what I never expected was.

Maybe it was because the girl who died tragically was too important to Mia.

Mia cried so hard that her whole body was shaking. Then, Jian Yue found that something was wrong with her. Her eyes slowly changed color to a blood red.

"I want to avenge her." Mia said, "I want to kill him."

Jian Yue didn't even have time to stop her, because Mia suddenly burst out with tremendous power, which was definitely not the power that an ordinary person should have. She ran towards the dance hall in front, and even picked up a silver steak knife from the dining table and rushed towards the bishop not far away.

People around screamed.

Someone immediately tried to stop Mia, but Mia was very strong and could not be stopped by the people around her. She even became furious because of the attempt to stop her. When she was about to be grabbed, she stabbed the church guards who were trying to stop her with the knife in her hand and then rushed towards the bishop!

Jian Yue looked over.

The person communicating in front of the bishop is Prince Chris!

Chris looked back at the person who suddenly rushed over, because Mia was so fast, and in order to avoid being stopped, Mia almost chopped anyone in front of her, and Chris standing in front of her would undoubtedly be the target of attack. She had lost her mind at this moment, and no one knew where the knife would fall, and whether it would be fatal, and there was no medicine for regret in this world.

The person who was closer to Mia at the moment was Jian Yue who was running behind her.

Chris saw that when the woman rushed towards him with a knife, a figure suddenly appeared behind him. He had been unable to catch up with the girl, but when he found that the girl was about to reach him, his eyes widened, and then he burst into amazing speed. At the moment when the knife was about to fall, he hugged Chris tightly in his arms: "Xiaoyu!"
