Be a matchmaker in an otome game

Chapter 222 There are many things that cannot be done after all

Azarez told Felissa about today's conversation with Vincent in a joking tone.

"Did he say that?" Felissa leaned on Azarez's shoulder, thoughtfully.

She remembered the plot of the original work. Although she didn't have much impression of Vincent's branch plot, she still knew about Vincent's character. He was a trouble-making boss and the illegitimate son of a certain noble.

, due to an unfortunate childhood experience, he wanted to take revenge on the entire aristocratic class, although in the end he definitely gave up revenge under the influence of the heroine.

But, is the influence of the heroine really that important?

Anyway, she doesn't think so. The heroine is at best a facilitator. If Vincent didn't have this idea in his heart, the ten heroines would be useless.

"What's wrong?" Azarez saw her lost in thought and couldn't help but frown, realizing that Felissa might be thinking about something beyond his control, "What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking that what Vincent said must be true." Felissa said her inner thoughts, but after meeting Azarez's eyes, she instinctively swallowed the rest of the words.

She suddenly felt guilty and looked away pretending to be nonchalant: "I think I can believe what he said."

In Azarez's opinion, it was Felissa who unfoundedly trusted a man against whom she was defensive, which made him feel threatened by his domain being coveted.

"Do you trust him?" His tone was soft, but Felissa heard the threat of "You should think about it before you answer."

Felicia raised her eyes and looked at him: "I don't trust him, but I want to believe the truth of his words, that's all."

This answer did not completely reassure Azarez. He stretched out his hand to hold Felissa into his arms: "He is very dangerous. You should not have more contact with him, understand."

Felissa nodded obediently: "I know." Needless to say, Azarez would not take the initiative to approach the male protagonist of the original work.

In fact, she didn't take this matter seriously. After all, she had never dealt with Vincent directly, and had only "heard" about him, so she quickly forgot about Vincent.

, continues to run her small grocery store.

The strange thing is that no maid has come in or out from the back door for several days. Felicia feels strange. Normally, even if no one comes to her place to buy things, the maid will go out for other necessary things, but these days

I didn't see any maid at the back door.

Could it be that... something happened?

Felissa folded the paper flowers in her hand carelessly and looked towards the back door of the city lord's mansion from time to time. As a result, she didn't see a single person until sunset.

She began to think about whether she should talk to Azarez and ask him to ask what happened to Vincent.

Just when she was about to close, a figure wearing a black cloak suddenly flashed into her store. She was startled and instinctively put her hand on the staff on her lower back.

After entering the store, the visitor took off his hood and revealed his face. Felissa was surprised. Looking at Karona's face, she immediately felt that something was wrong. She immediately helped Karona sit down and closed the door.

At the store door, he gave Karona a glass of water.

Something must have happened to come here so covertly. Felissa looked at Karona and asked softly: "What happened? You look very bad."

Karona made a vague sound with no meaning. Felissa didn't understand it at all and frowned: "What are you talking about? Don't rush and speak slowly."

Karona was also working hard to express what she wanted to say: "Save...save..."

Save... What to save... Felissa's expression suddenly changed: "Your tongue!"

If she had read correctly, Karona's tongue seemed to have been tampered with, and seemed to be embedded with something. It made it impossible for her to speak clearly. Felicia didn't know what it was, but the tongue was so soft.

The place... must be very painful.

Felissa took Karona's arm and pushed up her sleeves, exposing Karona's arm. Seeing the traces of ropes on it, Felissa couldn't help but feel dizzy.

dizzy.

She has been well protected since she was a child, but that doesn't mean she doesn't understand anything. After all, in the aristocratic circle, many things have been heard to some extent.

Karona is here to ask for help, Felissa is deeply aware of this.

"You come with me." Felissa pulled Karona, and she realized that she couldn't let Karona go back, otherwise Karona didn't know what kind of torture she would suffer.

But Karona shook her head, pointed at the city lord's palace, and pronounced the syllables "Ah...ah...".

Felissa guessed: "You want to go back?"

Karona nodded.

Go back, go back to that hellish place?

Maybe she didn't want to go back, but had to go back.

When people are alive, they have all kinds of last resorts.

Felicia put a hood on Karona and carefully sent her into the City Lord's Mansion through the back door. She did not leave in a hurry, but listened carefully to what was going on inside the City Lord's Mansion.

There was a scream from the throat, shrill and desperate.

Felissa couldn't bear to close her eyes. Her worst guess had happened. Someone had discovered Carona's escape. Carona might have been subjected to very extreme things, but she was standing just outside the door.

Outside, there was nothing that could be done to help her.

She had no choice but to watch Karona suffer such a thing, but there was nothing she could do.

Felissa turned around and ran home.

Today, Azarez was not at home as always. Felissa was not in the mood to do anything else. She sat on the sofa and waited for Azarez to come home.

She waited and waited until she fell asleep. She didn't wake up until Azarez returned home.

She glanced at the sky outside. It was very dark and she couldn't tell the time.

"What time is it?" she asked confusedly.

"It's two o'clock in the middle of the night," Azarez leaned over to pick her up and take her back to the room, "Why did she fall asleep here?"

"I'm waiting for you." Felissa managed to cheer up, and motioned to Azarez to put her down.

Azarez glanced at the restaurant and saw only cold pots and cold stoves without any trace of fire. He frowned: "You didn't eat anything?"

"Can't eat," Felissa shook her head. In order to prevent Azarez from focusing on whether she had eaten or not, she first changed the subject, "Carona came to see me today."

Why did she go to Felissa? Azarez frowned.

Felissa looked at Azarez's expression and understood something: "You know that, right?"

"What are you referring to?" Of course, Azarez would not admit it directly. It would be a self-inflicted mistake, so he waited for Felissa to explain clearly before he could think of how to answer.

"You know what happened to the maids in the city lord's palace, don't you?" Felissa already knew Azarez well enough, and his answer already represented affirmation.

Seeing that Felissa was a little excited, Azarez sold Vincent without hesitation: "Vincent told me something."

Sure enough... Felissa didn't know what to say. Azarez had always protected her, so he definitely didn't want to tell her these things. She couldn't blame Azarez, but she did blame Azarez in her heart.
