I will not die a Villainess's death Chapter 93 93: Hushing Some Mouths [Pt2]

She had never seen Sorias bloodthirsty before but she imagined his eyes to be like this if she ever did.

And even the poor maid seed to be taken aback by the sudden rush of emotions that were aid her way. Elysia could see her body shudder at the sudden feelings of eyes that were looking her up and down.

"I-I didn't hear anything. Excuse , I should go now."

The maid hurried to get away but she was not able to take a lot of steps when the chandelier broke off and fell on top of her head. It happened so suddenly that no one was able to say anything.

Even the maids who were looking from afar seed taken aback by the suddenness of what happened before chaos erupted around the room.

'Sorias did that on purpose. I don't know how but I am sure he was behind this attack.'

The self-satisfied smirk on Sorias's face could not be attributed to anything but having gotten away with murder in broad daylight. A better person would have turned Sorias in for such a feat but not Elysia.

She was not going to say anything if she was not required to. Sorias was too precious to her to get him in trouble.

'Besides, I am not normally normal as well. The maid would have died by my hands if she did not die right now. She would have ended up dead today anyway. It's just better for us that this happens way sooner than it should have.'

The only person Elysia felt sorry for was Enma. The poor kid looked like he was facing a crisis.

'Did he realize what Sorias did? Should I be worried about him opening his mouth as well?'

Emma might be in their party right now but he was all but a stranger to Elysia. And even she was not kind enough to let such a big risk exist in front of her eyes.

"I did not see anything and I won't tell you either. But if you tried to take down then I will take you down with ."

Enma sounded 100% serious when he said that. A normal person would have disregarded a kid's talk but not Elysia. She knew what she was capable of doing at that age so she was not going to disregard anyone else as well.

"You better sleep with one eye open tonight. I am not in a good mood and cannot guarantee your safety tonight. Who knows….maybe you will get a secret visitor tonight."

Now Elysia could tell that Sorias was joking around. His mood looked much better after killing soone and Elysia could not help but shake her head at that notion.

How the hell did soone like Sorias end up in a human settlent? He was not good for anyone's heart.

"I understand, alright. You don't need to threaten twice. I will keep my mouth shut."

Enma backed down as well, his eyes looking at Sorias in a scared manner. He seed to have finally realized that Sorias was not a person he could tangle with carelessly.

At the sa ti, the commotion in the hallway seed to be reaching its peak. It was bad enough to even get the servants talking and that finally dragged out Baron Pheron in the open.

"Oh god, what happened here? Who is this servant and why is she lying here like this? You should get this place cleaned up before you sully our guests' moods. Lady Dirac, I am sorry you had to see such an unbearable sight. I will have it all cleaned up in no ti."

Lord Baron had no compassion at all toward his dead employee. In fact, he did not even rember who his employee was

'To even forsake soone so loyal to him. How big of an idiot was this person?'

The more Elysia found out about Baron Pheron, the more she disliked him as a person. She could even go as far as to say that he was the most unlikable person she had t this far. And Elysia had t her fair share of assholes.

Sohow, this one person was ranked the highest on her already high list.

"H-How did this happen? W-Was it my f-fault? B-Because I wished her to no longer be here? Did this happen because of ?"

Lady Pheros looked to be the most shocked one. Her eyes were wide and unseeing.

She was not even paying attention to her two kids who were peaking into the corridor with curious eyes.

"Lady Pheros, pull yourself together. Accidents like these happen once in a while and no one can account for them. It is no one's fault that this happened."

Elysia quickly reassure the lady before she could have a heart attack. The lie felt heavy on her tongue but Elysia forced herself to say that anyway.

And it worked like a charm. Lady Pheros finally seed to be calming down after hearing Elysia's words. Her breath was still coming out loud and irregular but it was no longer in the dangerous category.

It was only once she stabilized that Elysia felt confident to leave her alone and follow the maid that was leading them to their room.

This had kind of happened all of a sudden but it had placed the whole house into alert mode.

Elysia knew that it was not Soria's fault that things ended up happening that way but now they had to be even more careful than before.

'But still, for a master to even forget the face of his maid that easily. Just how is that even possible?'

Elysia did not understand what went on inside Baron Pheros's head. Nor did she want to know what happened back there now.

"I'm sorry for causing this ss. I will be sure to be more discrete next ti."

Sorias apologized with a sad face. He seed to be beating himself over what happened back there but think like these were common.

"Don't be. We managed to wrap it all under the guise of an accident so it is good for us. Just be careful next ti."

"Oh god, there's going to be the next ti? Why are you both like this?"

Enma sounded and looked like he was about to have a stroke. His face was pale and lifeless as he stared ahead.

He was the only one who seed to be feeling so kind of uneasiness about what they had done. But he had enough of a head on his shoulder to keep his comnts to himself.

"There is going to be a second, third, and likely a fourth ti as well. Which attempt would you want your life to be?"

Enma went paler at Sorias's words. He quickly looked away with a, 'no need, I'm good.'

Elysia knew she should not find this situation funny but it still dragged a laugh out of her mouth in response.

And then it was ti for dinner. It was as uncomfortable as the first round of introductions had been. But this ti, Elysia made sure she was sitting as far away as Baron Pheros as possible.

He did not insist for Elysia to co near him, nor did he engage in the endless chatter that most nobles ended up doing during eating hours.

No, he was the example of a prim and proper noble with his face impassive.

And then the night fell and it was ti to start investigating the manor. Everyone else was sleeping so that ant that the mansion itself was quiet and abandoned at this ti of the night.

The night staff looked alert but Elysia had too much experience sneaking around for them to even notice her. They walked past her without even giving them a second look.

She was sure that Sorias was looking around the mansion as well but the one she was worried about was Enma.

Knowing how scared and lonely the kid was, it was unlikely for him to venture out all on his own. He would be a sitting duck for any attack.

'And he should be scared as well. Sorias did make a threat to kill him but I know he won't.'

Elysia quickly ducked back into the hallway she had originated from as soon as she noticed the shadow heading her way.

The security in the mansion seed to have been tightened after the accident that happened before and Elysia tip-towed around carefully.

For now, she had decided to follow the specs of weird energy she had felt when she first stepped inside the Pheros castle.

It was a vague feeling of discomfort that lead her further into the castle and she began to notice so irregularities in the staff around her.

For so reason, they were moving around in fixed patterns of the mont. No one walked too far or too close to their chosen route.

Elysia had even walked past one or two maids accidentally and then held her breath but they seed to not even have noticed her mont.

These maids looked more like dolls than humans which Elysia found suspicious.

But they felt like humans and they had magic like humans so it was difficult for Elysia to imagine what was going on without drawing hard conclusions.

Again, the conclusions she drew were not sothing she could take at face value. Calling these servants 'human-doll' would have implications Elysia was not ready to make yet.

'And then there is the whole situation about having to inform the royal family about this situation. I kind of doesn't want to bother Adam with it.'

That and Elysia still found it hard to think of either Adam or Eve without being reminded of what happened between them. Her body heated up and her face flad as she rembered how she had been played like a flute that night.

'A-Anyway, let's not bother then unless I have to. I can still investigate this situation on my own.'

Elysia thought as she followed after the maid's route. There was nothing suspicious about this maid but Elysia still decided to follow after her.

And then she ended up in front of a wall with the maid nowhere in sight. She had lost her way so easily and now she did not know where she was.

Footsteps could be heard heading her way and Elysia pressed herself against the wall…

…only for it to split open and she fell behind the illusion.
