Chapter 75: The oriole is behind and "Vifiya" is crying
Snow fell from the sky as usual, landing on the tower of the Marquis of Casely's Palace. No matter how the people inside changed, the castle still stood silently.
In an inconspicuous corner, weeds were buried under the snow.
Vaholian looked at the map in his right hand. The door shown on it was exactly the same as the old door in front of him.
His eyes moved indifferently back and forth between the two, hesitating whether to go in and take a look.
Not long ago, Gavin went to the wine cellar for regular inspection and found a secret compartment inside, in which was an old small wooden box.
After Gavin presented this thing to him, he discovered that there was actually a map inside, a map of an underground passage in the Marquis's mansion.
Is there such a place in the Marquis's Mansion?
He should have sent someone to investigate directly, or asked Gavin to accompany him, but he had never heard of the underground passage in this map.
Does the Marquis know about this hidden passage? Every underground passage in this castle has its own use, so what about this one?
For some unknown reason, Vaholian decided to come alone.
He slightly tightened his grip on the long sword hanging at his waist, and without hesitation, he pushed the door open and walked in.
It was not as shabby as he had imagined. Instead, there were rows of torches lighting the way forward.
The traces of people everywhere made him a little alert, and he walked forward along the passage.
The further he walked inside, the more surprised he was. As the heir to the Marquis, he had never heard of such a large underground space.
Walking through the winding dark passage step by step, a moist breath mixed with the smell of rust hit his face. Valhorian gripped the sword at his waist with an expressionless face.
He slowed down his pace, but saw a familiar figure not far away after turning the corner.
He, who usually didn't like to show his expression, had a flash of surprise in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared. Even though he wanted to deny it, his brain was certain that the man crawling on the ground in a miserable state was his father, the current Marquis of Kesley.
There was an underground hall in front of him. The dense scratches on the stone pillars, the cracks on the ground, the small stones lying quietly in between, and the blood all told Vaholian that there had been a battle here.
He did not step forward immediately, but instead looked around the underground hall calmly.
He was too reckless just now. If the other party in the battle was still here, he might have been targeted.
His gaze fell on the seriously injured Marquis. Vaholian's fingertips moved slightly. The Marquis, who used to be meticulous even with his hair, now looked like... a dead dog.
This was the most appropriate description Vaholian had found.
This underground space holds secrets.
The first thing that came to Vaholian's mind was that the Marquis had become like this by no means caused by any external force, and the murderer was most likely inside the Marquis's mansion.
Who could it be?
Many faces flashed through his mind.
He first suspected his brother and sister. It couldn't be Stellan. Vifia? Although she seemed a little dishonest recently, what she did was harmless. In short, he didn't think a rich girl who had been controlled by the Marquis's Mansion for many years could do such a thing.
The Heihefu siblings? They didn't need to do that during this time.
He denied them one by one, and finally there was only one possibility left, that just as he was unaware of this underground space, the Marquis had brought in someone he didn't know about.
For example, that unidentified Rujin?
Will the other side of the battle still be here?
Just as he was hesitating, the Marquis, who had been trying his best to crawl, suddenly raised his head and met his eyes.
The Marquis was obviously stunned for a moment, and he anxiously slapped his bloody hands covered with sand.
The surroundings were quiet, with only the Marquis's "ho ho" breathing.
Only a moment later, Vaholian was ready to attack at any time and headed in the direction of the Marquis.
Surprisingly, he was not attacked.
He lowered his eyes indifferently, staring at the Marquis who seemed to be crawling at his feet.
A strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
He squatted down and asked softly, "Father, is there anyone else here?"
"Ho ho." This was the only sound that answered him. His vocal cords were obviously injured. The Marquis' face suddenly turned to the side, which meant denial.
He calmly asked, "Is the man who attacked my father still in the Marquis's Mansion?" After saying that, he gripped the hilt of his sword tightly to prevent someone from really being here ready to attack him at any time.
The Marquis didn't even have the energy to nod or shake his head, but his palms were still subconsciously slapping the ground.
Vaholian looked around to make sure the Marquis was not lying, and he stared at him quietly for a long time.
As time passed, the Marquis, who had regained some strength, grabbed his feet, as if urging him to take him out quickly.
"Yes." Vaholian replied softly, and just as he always obeyed the Marquis, he stood up.
The Marquis did not wait for him to help him up, but instead heard the sound of a sword being unsheathed.
Cold, extreme cold, cold without any warmth at all, was the Marquis's final feeling.
He should know better about this child whom he personally taught.
Blood dripped from the tip of the sword, and Valhorian's amber eyes reflected the marquis's death.
It turns out that the Marquis is so weak.
He could save the Marquis and then slowly strip him of his power, but he was worried that if the Marquis suddenly got better, everything he had in his hands would fly away.
He was no longer curious about anything else here and turned to leave.
The Marquis invited a wolf into his house and reaped the consequences. He was killed here, and he had never left his study since Jotina's funeral that morning.
What does the Marquis’ death have to do with him?
As his son and heir, he would thoroughly investigate the cause of his death and catch the murderer.
Comfort his wronged soul.
The basement hall fell into deathly silence again.
Not far away, Kaharun, who witnessed all this, couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!" He removed the invisibility magic and said, "Your house is even more wonderful than mine."
Vifiya stared quietly at the Marquis's miserable condition.
As expected of a child raised by the Marquis, Vaholian understood as always that no hidden dangers should be left behind, even if that person was his father.
His decision was within Vifiya's expectations, and his arrival was also her deliberate arrangement.
There was indeed a secret compartment in the wine cellar that was not easy to find, and there was indeed a small wooden box inside, but the things inside had long disappeared.
She asked Arnold to secretly put in a map with this passage on it.
Gavin will discover this secret compartment just like he did in many previous lives, except that there was nothing in the small wooden box before.
He is loyal to Vaholian and will definitely hand over the small wooden box to Vaholian as soon as possible.
As the heir to the Marquisate, Vaholian must understand that every passage in the castle has its own meaning.
He has always attached great importance to his status. If there is a passage that he doesn't know about, either someone is deliberately hiding it from him, or it is a passage that has not been used for a long time. Perhaps this passage can help him at a critical moment.
How can such a channel be known to so many people?
Therefore, Vaholian will definitely come in person.
Vifiya did not move, and he did not disappoint her.
The charge of patricide.
That's enough.
This time, will [Vifiya] like the Marquis's ending?
Could she see it? Once again, she avenged the Marquis for herself and for herself.
Little [Vifiya], covered in blood, was determined to run out of the basement at all costs. Was this the day she was looking forward to, this kind of day, similar to the day she had imagined and wanted?
Hot tears unexpectedly flowed down her slightly cold cheeks. She seemed a little dazed. Her fingertips touched it lightly, and the wet liquid almost burned her.
What followed was the overwhelming pain and despair from the depths of Vifiya's memory, which surged through Vifiya's limbs, gripped her heart, and wailed in her mind.
At the same time, a softer emotion gradually healed all the wounds. Vifiya was no longer in pain, and she was no longer desperate.
But these tears fell even more violently.
It was [Vefiya] crying.
[Vefiya] wanted to laugh, so Vifiya laughed out loud.
But she was clearly smiling, but her eyes were so sad.
Kaharun looked at her quietly, looking at her strange expression. She cried so sadly and laughed so happily. For the first time, he saw the rich emotions that belonged to Vifiya in her eyes.
Pain... hatred... sadness... nostalgia...
Since you are in pain, since you hate, since you have a sad attitude towards everything, why should you miss it?
Kaharun turned his face away, slightly sideways to avoid looking at her, letting her sort out her feelings alone. He didn't understand and didn't intend to ask. It was pointless.
This is her life, her emotions, and Kaharun has always known best what to intervene in and what not to intervene in.
[Vefiya]'s emotions are responding to Vifiya. Does this mean that [Vefiya] has not really disappeared? At least no one here can answer Vifiya's questions, and she cannot get an answer.
Hiding in the dark, Marin stared expressionlessly at Vifiya as she cried and laughed, laughed and cried again. She frowned slightly, not knowing what she was thinking of.
She didn't appear until Vifiya returned to her normal state.
"Wow, Miss!" Marlene covered her mouth and ran over quickly, her face full of surprise. "Guess what I saw? Oh my God! Master Vaholian, he actually... he actually..."
The moment her eyes met Vifiya's, Marlene stopped talking. Her smile faded, and she quickly smiled again, "Miss, you used me."
All of Vifiya's emotions faded away, and Vifiya did not seem to have lost her composure just now. She looked at Marlene with a smile and did not deny it.
"You are my mother's."
Marlene followed Vifiya's steps, staring at her back. Suddenly, she exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, Miss, you're really smart!"
Vifiya turned around, her eyes calm. "Marin, whether Mother asked you to monitor whether I'm fulfilling my cooperation or to attack me at a critical moment, or to become a witness I might need later, you wouldn't refuse, right?"
It wasn't a question, it was an affirmation, she knew she wouldn't refuse.
Marlene smiled meaningfully: "Of course, Miss."
Because the order Yotina gave her also came with another clause: if Vifia Kesley fulfilled the terms of the deal between the two parties well, she should protect her and agree to her conditions when necessary as a bonus for the cooperation.
——
The snow at night fell like a drizzle.
Vifiya was about to get into bed to summarize everything that had happened today.
A magic circle appeared in her room very quickly and then disappeared.
Kaharun stepped out of the teleportation array.
Seeing this, Vifiya casually put on a piece of clothing and walked over. He was not the kind of person who would be so rude to enter her room at this time. She asked with a little confusion: "Kaharun, what's wrong?"
"Sorry to bother you at this time." Kaharun said softly, then smiled with amusement, "I thought you might need this."
Vifiya followed his outstretched hand and saw the object clearly in the night light.
Just as she looked up to ask, she saw a magic circle appear next to Kaharun, and Isidore, whom she hadn't seen for a while, walked out of it.
His silver eyes brightened the moment he saw her, but dimmed instantly when he saw the magic power on her body. However, he did not blame her. He always knew that she would always make such a choice.
Even now, he seemed unable to help her.
