She had only found out an hour and a half ago that there was a problem with the water
supply, so how had the maid prepared a milk bath for her so quickly?
A drinking fountain had been installed by the sink with a bucket of pure water for her to
use when she brushed her teeth and washed her face.
Moreover, now that the water supply was all shut off, not to mention washing, cooking
and drinking was a problem, but the castle didn't seem to cause any panic at all,
everything was in order.
This was not right.
Derila felt very suspicious, but she was reluctant to doubt William.
She thought that perhaps it was because they were used to being persecuted and
would always be ready to stock up and appear more calm when things happened.
Thinking about this, Derila couldn't help but feel a little pity, and quickly dispelled
her suspicions.
After washing and tidying up, Derila returned to her bedroom and picked up her
phone to check, Daemon still hadn't called back or sent her a message.
….
This night, it seemed very calm, but it was not.
In the middle of the night, the startling sound of thunder woke Derila up, she
squinted at the window, outside the lightning and thunder, the tree branches swayed,
like a demon with teeth and claws.
But she did not feel afraid, covering her ears, turning over and going back to sleep.
This sleep lasted until dawn.
Someone outside softly called out, "Ms.Feroma, Ms.Feroma!"
Derila was woken up, a little annoyed, hugging her pillow and responding lazily,
"What is it?"
"The results are out." the attendant replied cautiously.
Derila snapped her eyes open and got up from the bed, "Wait a minute."
She quickly rushed into the bathroom to wash up and change her clothes, casually
scratched her hair and opened the door to her room, "What's the situation?"
"No one's been at the main water source, but someone slipped into the storage room
and tried to destroy the evidence, we've arrested them."
"Take me to see." Derila followed his attendant to the basement.
William and a few of his cronies were interrogating a young boy who had fallen to his
knees, hands tied up and mouth taped shut, head bowed and shivering with fear.
"I thought you said that all the maids here were old and that the only young men were
your bodyguards?" Derila watched the boy carefully, "Who is he?"
"Ms.Feroma, he is the gardener Martin's nephew." The attendant replied, ""Because the
old horse was sick, he took the place of the old horse. He has been in the castle for
three months, and he looks quite honest. I didn't expect to be bribed…"
"Oooooooo……" Hearing these words, the boy opened his eyes wide in fear and kept
shaking his head, but his mouth was sealed and he couldn't speak at all.
Derila looked at the boy's clear eyes and didn't quite believe that he was the mole,
so he stepped forward and ripped the tape off the boy's mouth, "What do you want to
say?"
"@#$%……"
The boy spoke very anxiously for a while, but he was using a very strange dialect,
Derila couldn't understand a word of it, so he had to ask William, "What did he
say?"
William shook his head and looked at one of his personal attendants.
"He's still sophomoric, saying he was tricked into helping to transport those essential
oils into the castle." the attendant explained.
"He was only transporting essential oils? Who was the one who tipped him off?"
Derila asked.
"It was him too." The attendant answered immediately.
"That's not right." Derila was very puzzled, "He doesn't even speak of the official
language of Danontand, how is he going to give the news?"
"It's true that he doesn't speak the official language and can't read much, so he's using
his mobile phone to take pictures and pass on the news." The attendant took out an old
broken mobile phone and handed it to Derila, "Look, this is his mobile phone."
Derila had never been too fond of electronic products, the ones commonly used by
the public, she still knew the functions, this old phone, the text was also in the official
language of Danontand, she couldn't understand it at all.
The attendant opened the album and pulled out the photos for Derila to see, and
indeed there were many photos of the castle, including the one taken secretly when she
first arrived.
