Chapter 123 I'll Help You (9)
However, Tata just jumped onto the table, then lay down beside the white rabbit, yawned with his mouth wide open, and continued to sleep.
System Starry Eyes: Wow wow wow wow! So cute, so cute!
The system kept taking screenshots, and I thought: If Tata were in the orc world, he would probably be a beautiful boy.
On the other side, Neve was doing a handstand in the corner, bored.
She had great core strength, and her entire back was pressed against the wall, with her hands supporting her body.
Neve thought that she should be comforting Shancai's Hua Ze Lei now, instead of waiting for Sidse to wake up in this room like a shrew.
But when she thought about Carlos not letting her go out, Neve felt a little tired.
Knock knock knock—there were short, quick knocks on the door.
Neve turned her head to look at the door, then rolled over and stood firmly on the ground. She walked to the door and opened it directly.
Standing outside the door was a girl in a white dress with a nervous look on her face.
Neve remembered that the girl was one of the women there that morning.
"Please... help me." The girl looked at Neve with pleading eyes.
There were chaotic footsteps coming from the other end of the corridor, and Neve quickly pulled her in.
After a while, there was another knock on the door.
Neve opened the door calmly, and it was Carlos.
"Ms. Neve, have you seen a girl in a white dress?" Carlos asked politely.
Neve asked him calmly, "I saw her run away from there. What happened to this girl?"
Carlos glanced behind Neve and found no suspicious figures. Then he said, "She is a new blood slave. She was disobedient and escaped when we were not paying attention."
"I hope Miss Neve is telling the truth." Carlos's last sentence had a deeper meaning.
Neve raised her eyebrows slightly. "Sir, are you doubting me? If you don't believe me, you can come in and search."
Carlos didn't expect Neve to have such a bad temper. This was really not what a lady should do.
"No, that's not what I meant. Miss Neve, we can't enter the women's room at will. It's disrespectful to you. Please forgive my rudeness just now, Miss Neve." Carlos took into account Sidse's special care for Neve, so he chose not to conflict with Neve.
After Carlos left, Neve closed the door and locked it.
Neve walked to the closet and opened the door. She whispered, "It's okay."
A girl with a nervous look on her face came out of the closet. She looked very thin and short. Neve was a head taller than her.
"Are you okay? What happened?" Neve took the person to sit on the bed.
The girl couldn't help but cover her face with her hands, her voice choked, "I don't want to stay here..."
Seeing her emotions starting to stir, Neve pursed her lips and held her in her arms, just like her mother Sorina did every time she cried, holding her in her arms and gently patting her back.
After a while, the girl's crying gradually stopped.
"My name is Ellie. I was sold to this place by my father." Ellie said softly. She looked at the tear marks on Neve's shoulder a little embarrassedly. "I'm sorry, Miss. I stained your clothes."
Niv didn't care about this. She asked, "Are all the girls in this town sold here?"
Ellie hesitated and said, "No, only children from poor families like me would be sold to this place."
"However, some people here came here voluntarily. They said that it is the supreme honor to donate their blood for His Royal Highness the Earl." Ellie thought about when she was brought to this place. Her father said that there were already five children in the family, and she was the weakest in the family, so she could only make money in this way.
The girls here receive ten silver coins as salary every month. That's ten silver coins! The average family can only earn about five silver coins a month. Some can even only earn copper coins.
But Ellie didn't know that she would get a salary every month.
She only knew that she was worth only five silver coins.
Neve looked at Ellie who lowered her head. She held Ellie's hands with both of her hands and asked, "Is it painful?"
Ellie looked up at her, tears welling in her blue eyes. "I don't know. I only know that this place is terrible. The girl who came with me has died from an infectious disease. I'm afraid I will die here. I don't want to be a blood slave."
"Okay, I'll help you escape." Neve's voice was firm. She smiled, stood up, and opened the half-open window completely.
Vampires can't move during the day, so this is her only chance.
Neve looked at the layout under the window, calculating the best place to stay in her mind.
She knew that Ellie was not the only girl here who didn't want to be a blood slave, but she didn't have the ability to rescue these people under Carlos's nose.
Ellie stared at Neve standing in front of the window. She seemed to be glowing, like an angel. If there were angels in this world, they would definitely look like Neve.
Neve carried Ellie on her back and told her to hold on to herself.
Having loved climbing trees since childhood, Neveu's fingers had a strong grip. She carefully climbed down the pipe. It was noon, the sun was blazing, and the streets were deserted.
Neve took Ellie away from the building and she randomly chose a direction.
"Ellie, have you decided where you are going to live next?" Niv suddenly realized this problem.
In this world, if Ellie does not have the protection of an adult, even if she escapes, she will probably be caught by someone else and sold to another place.
Ellie got off Neve's back and shook her head. "There's no place for me in this family anymore. I don't know where to go."
"Yes, Miss Neve, even if you help her, where can she go?" Carlos' voice suddenly sounded from the side.
Neve was stunned, then looked to the right.
Carlos was wearing a smart suit, with a hint of sarcasm on his face, and behind him were several strong maids.
"Please go back, Miss Neve, and—Ellie." Carlos said in an unquestionable tone, "I don't think Miss Neve would want us to use force."
Ellie pursed her lips. She stood beside Neve and noticed that her face turned cold. She gently held Neve's hand and said, "Ms. Neve, it's okay. I'm already homeless. Thank you for taking me out. Thank you for letting me feel the warm sunshine for the last time."
Even though it was the hottest sunlight, Cornivre could not feel any warmth at all.
She heard Ellie's voice and subconsciously looked down at her.
Although Ellie was smiling, tears were running down the corners of her eyes.
In the end, Neve was taken back, and Ellie was taken away by the maids.
"Please, Mr. Carlos, don't make things too difficult for Ellie. She's just too scared." Neve's tone softened. She looked at Carlos standing at the door. At least she hoped that Ellie would not be severely punished.
Carlos smiled slightly, "Of course, as Miss Neve wishes, Ellie will only receive the punishment she deserves."
"By the way, Miss Neve, let me remind you. Your understanding of the world is like a shallow puddle after a brief rain shower, without depth or insight." Carlos smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "You should allow for different ways of living and don't interfere too much in things you can't change. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences."
After the maid nailed the window shut, Carlos left with his men and locked the door of Neve's room from the outside.
Neve stood there, she clenched her hands hanging at her sides, her eyes dim and unclear.
Carlos' words kept echoing in her ears, and Neve slammed her fist on the desk in anger.
A shallow mark was left on the hard tabletop.
Carlos was mocking her for overestimating her own abilities, for being vulgar and brainless.
Just like this escape, in Carlos' eyes it was just playing house.
Niv felt that he only had such power because of the vampires behind him.
Neve walked to the bed and sat down. She couldn't help rubbing her eyebrows.
Her understanding of the world is indeed shallow. She has lived on a farm since she was a child and has lived a free and easy life.
Even when she heard her father's vampire stories, she thought they were just fictional stories to trick children.
It wasn't until Neve actually saw a vampire that she discovered there was another side to this world.
Vampires are powerful and have long lifespans, and they need to suck fresh blood to replenish their bodies.
Her power alone was like a piece of thin paper in front of the vampire. The other party could kill her easily, as easy as drinking water.
Thinking of Sidse, Neve admitted that she was obsessed with Sidse.
After all, it is difficult to find a good-looking young man in a small town.
Neve sighed and slammed herself down on the bed.
She didn't know yet what Sidse would do to her.
