Chapter 177: Next
"Sir, I'm bringing back what you need." After entering the theater, the mercenary who had just returned from the underground dark street quickly came to Ketan and respectfully presented the bottle containing the blood of the elf.
"Thank you for your hard work, Bourne." Ketan took the bottle from the other party very politely, and then greeted him a few more words before asking the other party to go down to change his clothes first.
Then Kotan came to the table with a large number of unknown objects in front of the altar and opened the bottle and sniffed it. Then, he poured the bottle of blood with residual heat into a certain earthenware that was also simple on the surface and mixed it into various strange materials displayed on the table.
Just as Kottan was busy coordinating the bottle of blood, Kotell, who had been standing behind him silently, was obviously frightened by the scent of the vessel and had to stay away from the vicinity. At the same time, other members of the clan were busy with the final arrangements, and just as Kotell had just left the altar, two very dull but strong clan guards took out a female body in a gorgeous dress from the backstage on a stretcher.
"Anna..." Kohler suddenly rushed up excitedly, and without hesitation, reached out and held the seriously rotten palm on the corpse.
This happened for the third time Kohler saw this familiar but ugly corpse, but every time he saw him again, Kohler's mood always became increasingly uncontrollable desire and guilt.
Her name is Anna, and it was Kohler's own name for her, but unfortunately she didn't know that she had a new name, because when she was alive, this slave girl had no name, and even Kohler's attitude towards her was completely opposite.
She bought it back last year by Kohler's father, Earl Nass, while on a business trip in the Kingdom of Hamara. No, strictly speaking, it should be brought back. Earl Nasses did not regard him as a slave after seeing him accidentally. Not only did he not do anything out of order to him, he did not even have any arrogance based on his identity gap. He then spent a very high price to buy this "private toy" that originally belonged to him, and even paid some extra aristocratic favors.
The reason why Count Sass like this young slave girl is not that he has any thoughts about it. It is just that this slave girl looks very close to his late wife. Although the gap between the two still exists, if they do not pay attention to these details carefully, and their longing for their deceased wife, Count Sass will subconsciously regard him as his beloved Grace Obo, and Kohler's biological mother, no matter when and where he meets the other person, he will subconsciously regard him as his beloved Grace Obo, and Kohler's biological mother.
The purpose of Earl of Nassas bringing this slave girl home is only to relieve his longing for his deceased wife, and also to try to make some compensation for his child, Kohler, who is in a rebellious period. After all, although Kohler rebelled, he respected and loved his mother Grace very much, so after Grace's death, this also had a considerable impact on Kohler's character. In other words, Earl of Nassas believed that the reason why Kohler became so rebellious was because of the harm caused by Grace's death.
Earl of Nassus planned to make this girl who looked like Grace become Kohler's personal maid, and tried to use her face that was very similar to Grace to change Kohler's rebellious personality. However, there were other subtle reasons why the Earl decided like this. Because Kohler's rebellious and bad character caused the Earl's family to not be willing to be a personal servant by his master. After all, although all the servants in the Earl's family were civilians, they were also hired from the Duke and other senior nobles. These people have special identities and cannot be driven at will or rude to them. For this reason, they have no choice but to go to Kohler's Count.
Although Count Nasses' plan was very good, the reality was always unsatisfactory. Count Nasses' small plan failed at the beginning. When he first saw this slave girl, Kohler not only did not express his longing for his mother Grace, but suddenly became even more violent and angry. He even beat the other party roughly the day after the slave girl was led into the house by Count Nasses. The Count himself was not aware of this, because he left home on a business trip that night. By the time he learned about this, it was already half a year later, and the slave girl was dead by then.
The person who killed him was naturally not Kohler, but the cause of her death was directly related to Kohler. The slave girl was always rejected or even abused by Kohler since then, but the other party did not express dissatisfaction or hatred like an ordinary person. After all, she was a slave. She had received distorted education that went against many moral knowledge since she was a child. Therefore, after being abused by her master Kohler, she would only think that she was wrong. For this reason, no matter how Kohler abused the other party, she always maintained a distorted respect and love for the master.
This abnormality of the slave girl was crazy or helpless in the eyes of other servants, but in Kohler's eyes, he felt more and more upset. However, although the other party's face that looked similar to his mother did make Kohler feel restless, in fact, Kohler did not seem to be obsessed with the evil spirits. Except for the first time when he was rough with the slave girl, he just ignored the other party's existence indifferently.
The reason why Kohler disliked this slave girl was simply because the other party was a slave, and this slave had a face similar to his mother. So no matter whether Kohler was willing to accept it or not, whenever he saw the slave girl, he would subconsciously overlap her and her mother Grace's face. To put this alone, the Earl of Sass's little thoughts were successful, because Kohler did miss his mother when he saw this familiar and unfamiliar face and felt a little relieved. But it was also the master of this face that the more Kohler missed his mother, the more angry and dissatisfied the slave girl, so at the beginning, the irritable teenager was unable to suppress and fought against the slave girl.
Kohler was not essentially a rebellious boy who could not be rescued. In fact, when Grace was still alive, Kohler was still a polite aristocratic child, and even had a more knowledgeable attitude than children of the same age. The Earl of Sass also had a high future for him. However, people's emotions were too susceptible to various factors. The sudden death of his mother and the indifference formed by his father's years of absence made this child with a bright future distorted and rebellious mood, which is also the main reason why Kohler became a playboy who was annoyed overnight.
But even though Kohler's heart has not deteriorated. At least for a while after the appearance of the slave girl, he gradually put aside his guard against him and felt a lot of guilt towards him. However, Kohler did not express his identity and face directly, and in the eyes of others, Kohler was still constantly bullying this very weak slave maid. However, although everyone understands it, no one is willing to go up and help the little maid. After all, she is a slave. It is already very good that the entire Earl family and even the servants keep watching him coldly. If this were to be elsewhere, it might be possible to oppress the humble slave maid together.
After coming to the Earl of Nass, this slave maid had her own name after more than a month. Although she had it before, it was also the name given to her by her previous master. After changing the master, she could only abandon the old name of the past. However, due to time, the Count of Nasses, who was busy serving the Duke, had no time to name her. At the same time, as the new nominal master, Kohler, who had always rejected her on the surface, naturally would not give her a name. For this reason, the slave maid was like a stray dog in the Earl's house. It was not until about two months before Kohler took the initiative to sign his name on the employment agreement and recognized the other party's status as his own maid. Of course, his identity would not be a slave but a free person as a civilian in the Principality.
Since then, Kohler has been a little gentler to the slave girl. After all, the maid's heartbreaking moral concepts and innocence are really stupid. It is difficult for Kohler to continue to abuse him, and the other person's face has also caused Kohler to feel guilty and self-blame in his heart to become increasingly serious. Kohler, who is desperate for face, can only keep his coldness on the surface but secretly take care of him more, and even secretly instruct other servants in the family to take some inconspicuous care of him.
The maid who was wronged but still silly expressed her innocent smile to Kohler did not realize Kohler's inner changes. She simply thought that she might have done a good job in the near future, so the master did not punish or hate him. For this reason, this maid from slave took the initiative to respond to Kohler that was not the same age as she should. Kohler did not hate the other party's changes. After all, it was more extreme in the aristocratic social circle outside. Although Kohler was still young, he had seen many types with his own eyes, but he could make this kind of contact full of desire so simple, and even a little funny. I'm afraid Kohler had only seen the little maid in front of him.
Since then, the relationship between the two has become much more subtle. Although they seem to get along well on the surface, they are still dreaming of the same bed and different dreams.
The maid's concept of magnanimity has been imprinted in her heart for a long time, and she still knows nothing about some of Kohler's apologetic hints and his closeness on the other hand. Because for her, Kohler would be happy and heal other aspects, especially anything about her. After all, she was just a banquet toy and a private slave trained to please guests. In this way, just two months did not allow her to change the distorted concepts that had been deposited over the past decade.
Earl Sass had a foresight about this. When he brought the other party back, he could have said that he should not force himself to make changes immediately. It would be enough to let it go. The Count's instructions were naturally in mind. Although she tried to accept some normal concepts during the more than two months she was here, she still maintained the distorted concepts that she dared not abandon at the moment. Therefore, she showed extreme panic and resistance when facing some overly enthusiastic contacts of Kohler. After all, she grew up under these concepts, and in these concepts, a slave as a toy is not allowed to have excessive intimate contact with his master, otherwise he would either be abandoned or destroyed. These terrible punishment maids had also seen them with her own eyes when she was young, so her reaction was so overexaggerated.
As a result, after the maid refused many times, Kohler, who had been in the mentality of a playboy, had been fascinated by the mind of a playboy. In order to punish the disobedient little maid, Kohler, directly found an excuse to transfer him to the positions at home for handling rough work. Of course, the maid's identity was still Kohler's personal maid, and the clothes were still very gorgeous maid outfits, so the members of the family also knew the inside story of this matter and did not take the blame for the little maid.
However, although the servants of the Earl's family knew, the people outside did not know it. In addition, the maid's daily work also had the job of leaving home to throw garbage. Although it was only ten meters away from the back door of the Earl's family to the place where the other party's garbage was specially designed, the poor little maid was targeted by the evil man on this mere ten meters road.
The other party was a relative of a small noble family, and was also a small leader of the city guard who managed this aristocratic residential area. He was also a somewhat distorted lustful person. The little maid was not outstanding in appearance, but the problem was that the other party looked too close to the countess. The little leader of the city guard was also fortunate to see the portrait of Mrs. Grace hanging in the Earl of Sass's house, but unfortunately, this guy with a somewhat perverted heart inexplicably fell in love with the late countess.
When Earl Nass came back with this maid who looked close to Grace, it was actually known to everyone in the aristocratic circle in the city. Later, when he heard that the little maid had been conservative, Kohler abused her, the other party had thought about whether to rescue her. However, this delusion was obviously unrealistic. After all, even if this person moved out his relatives, he was not qualified to contact the people of the Earl's family, even if he was a servant, he could not. Unless he could get outsiders to contact some servants in the aristocratic family with the approval of his master, except for those who were close attendants, he had to change his goals in dishearteningly.
The Earl's private family will naturally not leak it casually. However, when the little head of the city guard accidentally saw the little maid who threw garbage out, he suddenly ignited the fire of desire in his heart again. After all, he had contacted many nobles. As a personal servant, he actually did the job of a inferior servant, which only means that this person was out of favor. Of course, under normal circumstances, the servant who was transferred from the personal servant would naturally choose to be fired, but the little maid had a special status. She was a slave and was almost unlikely to be fired, and there was no place to be fired. For this reason, she could only be thrown into the kind of work of tiring liver work.
Of course, this little leader naturally would not know that although he had already thrown away the little maid on the surface, Kohler had never abandoned her in her mind. During this period, he even thoughtfully created an identity document for her to participate in some entourage education in the principality. That kind of place is not something that ordinary people can enter. Except for the people from Duke Michel, almost all children from the middle and lower aristocrats in the public will squeeze in and study, because as long as they come out of it, they will be immediately assigned to work in the upper aristocrats' homes, and the benefits in all aspects are no less than awarding and awarding titles. Also, in order to better have a better future life with the little maid, Kohler also prepared a name for her, waiting for everything to be ready to return to normal again.
On the night a few months ago, that was the night when the little maid entered the Earl's house for three months, Kohler was excited to return at home with the authorized documents and the identity certificate with his name written on it, because at this time he had made all preparations. No matter how he apologized and tolerated him, or his promises and invitations, Kohler had practiced privately countless times during this period, and in order to prevent him from having any previous overreactions, Kohler also instructed several servants at home to fan the flames for the little maid during this period, so that he could change his ideas as soon as possible and accept the favor of Master Kohler.
Everything seemed so beautiful, but Kohler waited at home until late at night without seeing the little maid coming out.
The servants at home felt bad when they found out that the little maid had not returned before the evening. Because of this, even private soldiers in the family were sent out to search for people all over the streets. This incident was a bit sensational at that time. After all, this was the private soldiers of the nobles who were looking for people all over the city with weapons. This naturally alarmed the attention of the Lion Guard and Ye Xiao. At the same time, it was with their secret help that Kohler, who had bloodshot eyes, saw the body of the little maid who was humiliated to death in the early morning.
Kohler still cannot forget how desperate he felt when he touched the dirty and cold cheeks of the little maid with his own hands. However, he also remembered that the last time he felt this way was when his mother Grace died. Unconsciously, this slave girl who was disliked and even hated by him from the beginning had quietly become an indispensable part of Kohler's life. At least he realized this at that time, and it was too late.
It was already three days later when Kohler came back to his senses. The little maid who had not had time to get his name had been buried, and Kohler had never visited her tomb since that day. Because Kohler was very scared, he thought he was not worthy of seeing her again. At the same time, because he realized the stimulation of losing his love, Kohler, who had just changed, became even more violent again. It was during this period that the name of the infamous Earl of Nassas was also well-known throughout the city. However, few people would care about why this psychologically distorted playboy suddenly changed. The few people who knew the truth naturally chose to turn a blind eye to Kohler's series of evil deeds, which naturally included Hugo and Cassius, and even Abigail, who was regarded by outsiders as Kohler's natural enemies.
Kohler still can't forget his last face with the little maid. When his hands touched each other's cheeks, he still remembered the touch. Just like now, Kohler's eyes were filled with tears and touching the cheeks frozen in fear and despair on the rotten little maid's corpse. Not only did he not feel any discomfort, but he was inexplicably affectionate. Even Abigail, who was peeping under his head, subconsciously knew what the inexplicable corpse was after seeing Kohler's performance.
After looking at Abigail who was covering her mouth with tears for some reason, Erica was curious but had been silent for a long time. Although she had guessed some possibilities, she did not intend to be distracted at this time. Because she now needs to calibrate the camera lens perspective at all times to record the entire content of the entire ceremony scene, her lens naturally did not stay in this touching scene for too long, but then turned the lens to point it at a bloody spike cage that was moved out of the background.
There was a prisoner who was not human or ghost in the cage, and from the other party's appearance, Erica could feel that this torture was full of revenge. At the same time, at the moment the cage was lifted out, almost everyone present looked over there, and even Kohler, who was reuniting with the corpse, glared at the cage with a distorted face.
The prisoner who was locked in a cage and suffered miserable torture was the small leader of the city guard. After that night, the other party naturally did not escape the pursuit of the Ye Owl and the Lion Guard. However, since the incident itself was a public security case, the two major organizations did not use private transactions and left it directly to the municipal department, and they stopped paying attention. The prisoner also disappeared from the prison after being sentenced, and no one would be willing to pay attention to the whereabouts of the death row prisoner, because insiders knew that the person who brought him away was this young master Kohler.
"Do you still live well?" Kohler walked to the edge of the cage with expressionless face overlooking the prisoner who couldn't even straighten his waist. "Tonight, you will pay for her life, and I will meet her again."
