It turned out that, other than the bed, the room was empty.
My hands then brushed against a window. I wanted to open the window and find out what time it was based on the light outside, but the window didn’t budge. Apparently, there were wood planks nailing it shut.
I tried to smash the planks with my fist, but they were very solid.
After a few tries, I gave up and decided to look for a light switch. After groping around the room for a while, I found no switch.
Feeling a little depressed, I sat on the floor and tried to think.
I missed Rufus. He was probably anxious to see me. If this was all part of Geoffrey’s plan, I wondered how he would make things difficult for Rufus.
Especially now that the full moon night was coming, I was worried about Rufus’ condition.
Ever since we became a couple, I had spent every full moon night with him. Now, I couldn’t be there for him. I just hoped that the gift I had left to him would be useful.
I wouldn’t have acted so impulsively if I knew I was going to end up in here.
“Don’t worry, Sylvia. We’ll find a way out of this,” Yana comforted me softly.
I sighed, “It’s my fault Layla was captured, too. And I don’t know where they’re taking her.”
“Layla’s a strong she-wolf. She can protect herself. Just thank her when you see her again.” For whatever reason, Yana was exceptionally calm today. I felt like she had grown a lot and become my rock.
“You’re right. Thank Moon Goddess you’re with me, Yana,” I said sincerely.
“Don’t worry. I’ll always be here for you. I can defeat a vampire with one punch. I’m going to beat them all up.”
I was just about to praise her for her maturity, but to my surprise, she started acting childish again.
While listening to her nonsense, I got up from the floor and continued to fumble in the dark.
“Look for the door. I doubt this room is doorless,” Yana snorted sarcastically.
“I know. I’m looking for it.”
I felt the wall inch by inch. Finally, my fingers brushed against something.
“I found the door!” I told Yana excitedly.
But, of course, the door was locked.
I slammed on the door and tried to call for help. It didn’t matter who came; I just needed to figure out the current situation.
Sure enough, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside.
Then came the sound of keys jingling. It seemed that someone outside was looking for the key.
A few seconds later, I heard the key being inserted into the door.
I was so nervous that I took a few steps back and stood vigilantly, ready to spring into action.
With a sound of lock turning, I heard the door creak open. But all I saw was two glowing red pupils, nothing else.
I held my breath subconsciously and stared into this pair of eyes. Goose bumps formed all over my body when I realized that this pair of eyes seemed to have no whites, just pure redness.
Whoever it was seemed to be looking me up and down. Then she spoke in the voice of a middle-aged female.
“My master is still sleeping and dinner is still being prepared. It will start at eight o’clock sharp. Please wait patiently. Don’t make a sound, or else you’ll face unimaginable consequences if you wake my master up ahead of schedule.”
Sylvia’s POV
Although I didn’t quite understand the situation, I didn’t ask any questions. I just took note of what she said.
“My name’s Nicole. I’m the housekeeper here. If you need anything, just knock on the door gently. There’s no need to shout.”
“Oh, okay…” I replied in a low voice and observed Nicole quietly, although I could only see her red eyes in the dark.
It looked like Nicole didn’t mean to hurt me. She even talked to me with respect, as if she was entertaining a guest.
“Actually, I’m a little hungry now. Is there anything I can eat?” I asked softly, trying to test her attitude.
“Wait one moment.”
After saying that, Nicole disappeared behind the door and locked it. A few minutes later, she came back and handed me a plate.
“Eat this first. Dinner will be ready shortly.” As soon as I touched the edge of the plate, Nicole withdrew her hands abruptly, as if she was afraid that I would touch her.
I didn’t say anything. I just took the plate. The food was still warm, and I could smell that it was fried steak.
“Anything else?” Nicole asked politely.
I hesitated for a moment. “Where is the other shoe-wolf who was with me?”
“I don’t know. She is not a guest here and doesn’t deserve to step foot in this castle.” Nicole grew serious. I could tell from her tone of voice that I shouldn’t ask any more questions.
“Then…” Holding the plate of warm steak, I hesitated.
Nicole didn’t say a word. She waited patiently for me to continue.
“Could you stay with me until I finish this steak? I’m not used to eating alone,” I said matter-of-factly.
Nicole fell silent, as though she was rendered speechless.
But in the end, she stayed and accompanied me.
I sat on the floor face to face with her. She watched me eat, her unblinking red eyes staring straight at me.
