Chapter 51 Dinner
The noble girl still had a delicate and friendly smile on her face, as if she had perfected her expression after tens of thousands of trainings.
She said to me happily: 'No one has come to our house for a long time. We can have a lot of fun today. Let's have a good meal first. Speaking of which, are you hungry too?'
Faced with her warm invitation, I simply couldn't find any reason to refuse. My stomach also made an untimely rumble at this moment, so I had no choice but to rub the back of my head and follow her into the villa.
'However,' the girl's friendly face that looked like a painting suddenly turned cold and sinister.
'Don't ever talk to anyone but me in my house. Do you understand?'
I was a little surprised and asked quickly: 'But in that case, I won't be able to ask your father for the way home.'
The girl's expression softened, and she begged me, 'I'm sorry, I lied to you...'
'Actually...my father doesn't even know how to get to the civilian area.'
She burst into tears, covered her face with her hands, and said in a vague voice: 'Because this is not Lanzas at all!'
I was even more confused. Although I was afraid of the black-haired woman, so I ran as fast as I could without looking at the road, but I didn't run out of the city.
When I told the girl about this doubt, she couldn't understand the situation. She could only say that maybe I was too afraid and left the city unknowingly without realizing it.
So when I took a closer look and asked where exactly this place was, she told me the terrifying fact exactly!
"This is the lost city of Atlan." She said with a little emotion, sighing: "In order to avoid the invasion war of the Eastern Lot Empire, our ancestors moved their families to this unknown place.
After thousands of years of reproduction, the city-state was re-established."
The surprise in my heart is beyond words. Even a child who has not attended school for a day will tell you that the Eastern Lot Empire has been destroyed for hundreds of years.
Fortunately, there was no mirror at the time, so I couldn't see my facial expression, but it must have been extremely horrified and distorted!
'You, you, you...you mean you have been hiding in this city for thousands of years to avoid war?!'
The girl looked at me with a vicissitude in her voice and murmured, 'Yes, after so long, I wonder which empire is ruling the outside world now? Is the war still going on?'
I really can't answer it. With my extremely poor knowledge, I only have a vague impression of the Eastern Lot Empire, let alone give her a detailed introduction to the various disputes on the continent.
But at this time, my heart felt a little calmer. It turned out that the people in this city had been out of touch with the outside world for thousands of years. No wonder everyone seemed to be talking in a daze, and the architectural style was different from what I usually see.
Although I don’t know when there was such a hidden city outside Lanzas, and how I came here by chance, my brain had lost most of my thinking ability at that time, and I couldn’t notice these details at all.
She took me into the villa, and the strange and weird atmosphere was even deeper. From the outside, the house gave people a gloomy feeling, but inside it was even more deserted and quiet, with no life at all.
There was a chill that penetrated my heart.
It was as lonely and terrifying as walking alone in the wasteland, unable to perceive anything rational.
'Anna, prepare a guest room and hot water for our guests, and then tell the kitchen to prepare the dinner. I want to entertain the guests.'
The girl's clear and pleasant voice sounded behind me, and I didn't understand who she was talking to.
I looked up suddenly and saw a dark shadow flashing across the steps of the second floor. Looking carefully, I saw that it was the scary black-haired woman who was chasing me just now!
Her blood-red eyes were set in her pale face, and she looked at me up and down with resentful and vicious eyes, which made me tremble and my legs were sore!!
'yes.'
The scary woman agreed dryly, turned her head towards the second floor as if she was floating, and before leaving, she glared at me with her dark and malicious eyes!
I have always adhered to the principle of not talking to other people. I waited until the woman's back disappeared and then tremblingly took the noble girl's hand and said: 'Where did this woman come from? She is not a human being!'
The girl gave me a strange look and reassured me, "Don't mind. Anna has stayed at my house for a long time and is a very reliable servant. Ever since her poor child died, she has become a little nervous and judgmental."
Her vision is not quite right, but she is a good person, don't worry!'
I was still a little frightened, so I held the girl's hand tightly. Only by leaning next to her could I feel a trace of humanity.
Soon, the dinner was ready. Sitting on the elegant and luxurious dining table, I clumsily used the expensive tableware of the upper class. Looking at the table full of luxurious and gorgeous food, I felt my appetite was whetted, even though there was a cold and sad person standing next to me.
The scary woman couldn't care less.
The girl raised her glass to me gracefully, and after following her in praying before the meal, I was allowed to take action.
They are indeed different from us who have been isolated for thousands of years. Even the god they believe in is not the Holy Heaven Supreme, but some kind of... secret god like Gon.
Without stopping, I ate several geese, drank several bottles of reserved red wine, and stuffed a lot of oysters and snails.
The food of this aristocrat is indeed different from ours. It is surprisingly bland and has no taste at all, just like eating paper.
However, the girl ate very enthusiastically. With a slight movement of her two rows of fine teeth, half of the leg of lamb disappeared. Her little cherry mouth opened slightly, and only the soup remained on the whole plate of bone-in steak.
The scary woman stood behind the girl, looking at me eerily. For a long time, she looked like a dead person, motionless, not even breathing, and her blood-red eyes moved without blinking, staring fixedly!
I gradually felt like I was sweating profusely, and even my appetite had mostly disappeared. I stared blankly at the woman who did not dare to eat anymore.
The meal was almost finished. The girl took a silk napkin and wiped her mouth. Her red lips seemed to have been filled with blood. Maybe it was because the steak was too tender.
‘Anna, where is the room you arranged for your guests?’ she asked the scary woman.
‘All the guest rooms are full, and there is no room for this gentleman.’ The scary woman looked at me sullenly and said coldly!
I was immediately dissatisfied. He said such things in front of the guests. Are you trying to drive me away?
'Well...' The girl tilted her head and said, 'There's nothing we can do about it. How about you sleep with me for one night?'
Looking at the pretty and lovely aristocratic girl, my blood was surging violently, my mouth was dry, and I was trembling a little, 'This...is this okay? You, your father?'
