It started to drizzle outside the window, and the weather became gloomy. Ming Xi had already turned to the last page of the book in her hand. She raised her head and glanced at the dark green wall opposite. On the black wall clock, the golden numbers showed that it was already half past five in the afternoon.
He will be back in one hour.
Ming Xi put down the book in her hand and before she got up, the waitress brought a glass of warm milk, "Queen, please use it!"
"Thank you!" Ming Xi held the milk and looked up at the young waitress, "I told you, don't call me that again."
"I'm sorry, the king has ordered us, we must do it." The waitress lowered her head, not daring to look at her.
"I want to go for a walk in the garden." Ming Xi smiled slightly.
"Yes!" The waitress immediately picked up the black thin velvet robe and put it on Ming Xi. The climate here is colder, ten degrees lower than the temperature in Haicheng. It is still hot in summer in Haicheng, but here, it seems
It's already autumn.
Walking out of the room, from the corridor to the stairs and then to the living room, there is a waitress in black standing every three meters. When Ming Xi walks in front of them, their waists will bend at 60 degrees, waiting for Ming Xi to leave.
Will straighten up.
This dark kingdom is like the royal family in ancient times, feudal and servile. Although Mingxi can't stand it, she can't change everything.
Holding a black umbrella, smelling the faint fragrance of flowers, and walking in the huge garden are one of Mingxi's pleasures here. Her world has gradually become narrower. Apart from playing the piano, listening to music, and watching home theaters, she can only
You can't even take a walk here, or even leave this castle.
After seven days here, Mingxi is still not used to it. Apart from this dark old castle, there is only the back garden where Mingxi can go. It is like a huge cage. Although it is exquisite and thoughtful, it is still a cage.
No matter where she goes, there is a maid waiting with her. Someone is observing her every move and preparing everything she needs at any time.
This ancient castle is called Shengtian Castle, and it is the palace of the king. Only Mingxi and the king live there, and more than a hundred maids and servants serve them wholeheartedly.
Ming Xi would often play the piano and play melodious and romantic classical music in the main hall on the first floor. Whenever this happened, the waitresses would have an unprecedented faint smile on their faces. This was a feeling they had never experienced before.
Shengtian Castle has the breath of life and the breath of spring because of the existence of Mingxi.
Not far from the Holy Sky Castle is the Dark Night Headquarters. Standing in the garden, you can overlook the silver-gray castle in the morning and evening, standing majestic, aloof and cold.
The high city wall surrounded the castle, like a circle drawn as a prison, enclosing them in a confinement. The city wall was covered with thorny vines and purple-black flowers, which was extremely strange.
Although it was less than a kilometer away, Saint-Tian Castle looked much normal. Although they were all the same gray color, at least the flowers in the garden were of normal colors and exuded a fresh fragrance.
Every early morning, Mingxi could hear a burst of neat and orderly shouting. Those heroic but slightly childish voices all came from the throats of children. Mingxi could probably guess that they were new people trained in the dark night, all of whom were still in the future.
A future killer who turns sixteen.
Zunwang leaves early and comes back late every day, just like a normal office worker, but Mingxi knows that what he does is not normal at all.
She seemed to be able to smell a vague smell of blood in the air. At midnight, she was often awakened by nightmares. It seemed that the castle was haunted by the ghost of a wasted death...
"Stop!" A shout suddenly came, interrupting Ming Xi's thoughts. Before she could recover, a small black figure jumped in from outside the courtyard wall and rushed towards Ming Xi...
Ming Xi retreated in shock, and the two waitresses immediately protected her. After a few moves with the figure, they were repelled by the other party. Before Ming Xi could react, a cold object was pressed against her neck.
"Don't move, or I'll kill you!"
With proficient English and a cold but childish voice, Ming Xi tilted her neck carefully, lowered her eyes, and looked to her side. This black boy who was half shorter than herself had curly hair, dark skin, and bright but piercing eyes.
.
"Who are you?" Ming Xi was not panicked, she was just curious, how could a child come here? Is he the killer that Dark Night is training? Why did he come here?
"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that you must help me get out of here, otherwise, your throat will be cut by me." The boy bared his teeth and looked fierce.
"How dare you speak to the queen like this." Leng Qin jumped in from outside the courtyard, with four tall black men behind him.
"It turns out that you are the queen, so it will be easier." The boy smiled proudly, and pressed the knife in his hand harder on Ming Xi's neck.
Ming Xi raised her eyebrows and glared at Leng Qin. She knew that Leng Qin had clearly exposed her identity on purpose, so that the boy would never let go of her as a precious hostage.
"Heiying, you dared to escape from the training base because you couldn't stand the strict training. Do you know that this is a capital crime?" Leng Qin slowly moved forward.
"What kind of training is that? It's obviously extreme abuse. If I stay here any longer, I'll either die or go crazy. I might as well try my best and find a chance to sneak out." The black boy said angrily, "Let me leave quickly, otherwise I will
Kill the queen."
Ming Xi was shocked, how could An Ye be so cruel? Treat these underage children like this?
"Damn it, it was An Ye who took you in when you were desperate. Now we are training you severely just to increase your abilities, but you are so ungrateful." Leng Qin shouted loudly.
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and drive a car to let me go, otherwise I will kill her..." Black Shadow was already a little anxious, because everyone heard the sound of a car not far away, and the king was back.
"Don't be impulsive. If you don't want to stay here, I'll tell the king and ask him to let you go, okay?" Ming Xi persuaded her gently.
"Do you think I'm a fool? The king is extremely cruel, and he would be so easy to talk to and let me go?" Heiying's knife used force again, and a shallow small gash had been made on Mingxi's neck.
"He will, he will agree. You are still young and you still have a bright future. Don't be impulsive. Let me go first and be obedient..." Ming Xi continued to persuade.
"You treat me like a child? Do you think..." Before Heiying finished speaking, his body suddenly froze, and a figure rushed over like lightning and snatched the knife from his hand.
Before Ming Xi could react, the shadow fell to the ground.
Ming Xi turned around and saw that the black shadow's throat had been pierced by a slender iron rod, and blood was flowing surgingly. The person who did it was actually the gardener's mother-in-law, who was nearly seventy years old, with a thin body and a waxy complexion.
