This house was not huge.
However, Alex followed Daveâs phantom and walked toward a regular wall. But, then, he knew that
there was something else hidden here.
Whoosh. A shadow flashed.
Alex followed him and disappeared together into the wall. When he blinked again, he saw an ancient,
desolated and quiet space in a cave-dwelling. The space was not large, and its size was just about half
of the room outside. It was empty without any daily necessities and only in the most central positionâ¦
A coffin was placed. It was a glittering golden coffin.
Alex was slightly stunned when he saw the scene inside, but he saw a faint fluctuation of spiritual
energy and circulation of tenuous runic luster on the ground where the coffin was placed.
âSenior, this isâ¦â
Alex had some kind of guess as he looked at Daveâs phantom. Although a coffin separated it, he could
still sense the life aura from the inside.
A living person was lying inside the coffin.
***
At the same time, Hermione and Ynes were still standing in the corner of that house, motionless,
outside the cave-dwelling.
Dave had only released the confinement spell that he had cast on Alex earlier, so there was no change
for the two women.
Hermione said, âYnes Larkin when you rejected the engagement with my senior and turned to engage
with Donovan Orlando back then, did you ever think that you would be in such a state today?â
Ynes sneered. âYour senior is dead, but thatâs his own business. It has nothing to do with me.â
Hermione said, âYou really made yourself scarce by treating it as a matter none of your concern. But,
then, itâs also your own business that youâve fallen into such a plight and become a lowly b*tch that
everyone detests. It has nothing to do with my masterâs husband⦠Hah, perhaps you were the one
who seduced my masterâs husband!â
Ynes laughed. âWhatâs so good about him? Heâs scum, a brute. So, would I seduce him? Was I out of
my mind? Or was I possessed by the Devil?â
Hermione sneered. âItâd be the best in this way. Let me tell you. My master is a goddess. You better
donât shower him with unreciprocated love. Heâs fooling around with you at best. Even if youâre the Holy
Maiden of Yorkshire Palace, you arenât worthy to wash his feet. Moreover, youâre notorious and
worthless.â
Ynes was infuriated!
âYour masterâs husband, right? Believe me, Iâd seduce your masterâs husband for real and make him
fall into my hands so that you would call me madam and kneel before me to wash my feet every day.â
âYouâ¦â
Hermione was wide-eyed. Once she recalled that Alex had even stolen Ynesâ bra, she thought he
might be interested in Ynes. If she really did that and even succeeded, wouldnât she be full of misery?
If her masterâs husband forced her to kneel before Ynes to wash her feet, would she be able to refuse
him?
It seemed that she would not be able to refuse him, especially under Neelaâs intervention. Even if she
was reluctant, she could only act accordingly.
Seeing the change in Hermioneâs expression, Ynes sneered. âWhat about it? Are you afraid? So, you
better know your place and donât force me to do something out of line. Otherwise, you wonât end well.â
Hermione sneered. âDo you think Iâm afraid of you? Perhaps youâve never seen my masterâs
appearance. Sheâs a thousand times, ten thousand times prettier than you. A woman like you is simply
no match for even her pinkie. Moreover, my master has given birth to four children for my masterâs
husband. You⦠Go and daydream! You should be worried the most about what Donovan Orlando will
do to you and also your Yorkshire Palace.â
Ynes was distressed once she thought of such a possibility.
The grand elder and Winona would definitely exaggerate the incident that occurred tonight and tell her
master. Furthermore, the people of the Sun Shrine would go there and denounce her for her crimes.
Therefore, even if her master wanted to defend her, she would not have sufficient reasons to do so.
