“...Yes, Miss Lia.”
For her, there was no benefit in continuing to delve into this problem.
As a retainer, her only duty was to solve Miss Lia's troubles.
So she quickly left and went inside the mansion to check on the other servants.
Once the afterimage had passed over the grassland, the surroundings fell silent once more.
Only a gentle breeze swept by, its rustling sound whispering in Lia's ear and softly ruffling her hair.
Enjoying the peace around her, Lia took a deep breath.
Now, nobody is watching her.
She tried to keep her slightly upturned lips, which were tinged with excitement, calm and suppress the smile that was welling up inside her.
His hands clenched together nervously, his mind filled with all sorts of ideas about how to greet Viktor again.
Although she had been prepared for a long time, when the moment actually arrived, Lia still found it hard to contain her excitement.
Viktor is finally coming back!
As if a heavy burden had been lifted, Lia felt a sense of relief.
She no longer had to bear the heavy burden of the entire family alone, nor did she need to continue hiding her emotions.
"I have to hurry over there, he might have been waiting for me for ages."
Realizing this, Lia hurried toward her room.
Upon entering the room, Lia locked the door behind her and turned to look at the treasure chest placed against the wall.
The treasure chest was wiped clean, and the gold bars inlaid on the edges made it look particularly solemn and luxurious.
Its red surface gleams brightly, as vibrant as a flame.
Taking a deep breath, Lia bent down and reached out to gently touch the golden clasp.
The moment her fingertips touched the golden lock, it unlocked itself.
The treasure chest opened on its own, and a cloud of red smoke slowly emerged, gently enveloping her.
call--
The smoke swirled in the room for a few seconds, like a crimson whirlwind, before quickly dissipating.
Then, the treasure chest slowly closed.
Lia also vanished without a trace along with the smoke.
...
As spring deepened, Liya slowly opened her eyes.
What unfolds before you is a lush, colorful garden.
The sprawling pothos entwines itself around almost the entire edge of the area, with clusters of brightly colored flowers creating a vibrant tapestry of colors.
Whenever Lia comes here, the garden always seems to grow even more lush.
It's as if magic is constantly adding life to this land.
Leah looked around when a familiar voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts:
"Woof!"
Following the sound, she saw a towering gate to hell.
It still twists and turns the pale steel, with orange flames constantly rising above it.
Even the goat's head burning with hellfire in the very center of the door frame remained as terrifying as ever, unchanged.
However, this fiery gate to hell seemed strangely out of place in this garden.
Beside the gates of hell, there was a magnificent, enormous doghouse.
The three-headed hellhound, its body wreathed in flames, was squatting there.
The three heads spewed out sharp, long steel tongues, making a hissing sound.
Although it looks terrifying, this scene still makes it appear somewhat dull.
Upon seeing her familiar dog, Lia smiled happily and called out:
"Little Ke!"
"Woof!"
The dog heard its name and started moving.
He quickly ran to Liya's side and then obediently sat down.
Lia slowed her pace and looked up at the massive three-headed dog.
Feeling the intense heat emanating from it, I couldn't help but smile helplessly.
Given the dog's enormous size, even if it sat obediently, Leah wouldn't be able to touch its head.
So she could only reach out and gently pat Cerberus's smooth, warm steel leg.
"Isn't being a gatekeeper boring?"
"Woof!"
Cerberus immediately responded to her in his characteristically enthusiastic tone.
I don't know what's going on lately.
It often sees a ghost carrying a scythe, who looks like he has been dead for a long time, who regularly guides some souls to the underworld.
Cerberus would also take the opportunity to play pranks on these new souls as a form of amusement.
Recently, it seems that the ghost with the scythe is really dead.
Cerberus hadn't seen that guy return with the dead for a long time.
This has caused the gates of hell to remain closed for a long time.
Although the ghost looked completely dead.
At this moment, its other two heads looked around in confusion, as if searching for someone.
Although Cerberus is a three-headed dog with the intelligence of three heads, it is still a dog.
Even though the man it fears most usually appears here when Lia comes, it's always the same man it's most afraid of.
But this time, the man with the crow did not appear.
Perhaps sensing its confusion, Lia asked softly with a hint of doubt:
"Has Victor not come out yet?"
"Ugh."
The three-headed dog responded in a low voice.
Similarly, this also puzzled Lia.
This doesn't make sense, does it?
According to the usual schedule, Viktor should have been released soon.
Moreover, real-world anomalies cannot be faked.
Who else but Victor could possess that kind of power?
A thought suddenly occurred to Lia:
"Could it really not be Victor?"
The thought sent a chill down her spine, and her face instantly turned pale.
