Chapter 228 Persuasion

"I haven't had a good night's sleep in a long time," Karona crossed her legs and looked at Felissa with a relaxed smile, "Although it's only been two hours...but I mean it from the bottom of my heart.

Thank u."

It has been a day since the hypnosis. They went back after seeing Mary's situation yesterday. The next day, Felissa came to the City Lord's Mansion alone because Azarez had other things to do.

Karona is already waiting for her at the City Lord's Mansion.

Felissa looked up and down at Karona and saw that her mental condition had obviously improved, the dark blue under her eyes had become lighter, and her overall complexion had improved a lot.

"Did you only sleep for two hours?" Felissa frowned slightly, "It was less than I thought."

She originally thought that this hypnosis would allow the maids to sleep for about five or six hours, but it turned out to be only two hours?

"It's just me," Karona smiled lightly, "The others slept well, but I had something on my mind."

It seems that Karona is a little more thoughtful than the others, maybe she already knows something.

"Actually, this method only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. If used too much, it will gradually lose its effect." Felissa looked at Karona seriously, "Can you share what you are worried about in your heart?"

Although Karona didn't speak, her face showed a bit of rejection. It didn't seem like something she could tell outsiders, but Felissa could guess some of it.

No matter what, those things were indeed a bit unspeakable. Felissa understood the reason why she didn't tell them. Telling them again would be equivalent to opening the wound. Karona was not ready to face the pain.

"Sorry...I didn't want to say..." Karona mumbled an apology.

"It's okay," Felissa comforted her, "but you have to think about what to do in the future, otherwise this matter will always bother you."

Not everyone can open up to a psychiatrist or counselor at the first meeting. It takes time for doctors and patients to establish a trusting relationship. Currently, the trust between Felissa and Karona is not enough.

Felissa also didn't provide enough courage for Karona.

"But I don't know what to do," Karona said with a wry smile, "Everyone... depends on me, but what should I... do?"

Confusion is often accompanied by anxiety. Anxiety is not terrible. What is terrible is that after the anxiety, there is still no way out.

Felissa reached out and held Karona's hand, and said word by word: "No matter what you encounter, the most important thing is to survive. As long as you live, good things will happen."

Will good things happen as long as you live... Karona thought of the girl who jumped off the building and died: "But if you die, you can avoid more harm."

When she suffered such pain, she wished she could die, but she did not have the courage after all.

"Death is far easier than survival," Felissa praised her, "You worked very hard."

Felissa remembered the way Karona came to ask for help. She was so miserable that she felt like she was going to die the next moment, but she still chose to live. This was already a very difficult thing.

"I just think that if I die, other girls may not survive, so I don't dare to die," Karona took a deep breath and smiled bitterly, "I don't know why it turned out like this.

Many people didn't like me in the past, and I was just an existence dependent on others."

Felissa knew that Karona's background was not high among the nobility, and she needed to please higher-level nobility to gain a foothold in exchange for resources that higher-level nobility did not want.

If Felissa hadn't fallen in love with Safi and then entered Fred's circle, she might have been forced to live like this. Even if she didn't want to please other nobles, she would still have to endure their treatment of her.

There is no way to bully the nobles. This is the current situation of the nobles. Even if the current situation has cut off so many nobles, this situation still exists.

But when everyone loses their aristocratic status and is in the same position, the high-level nobles are useless, because they are used to it, never encounter setbacks, and their psychological endurance is very low. On the contrary, it is Karona, because

His strong character stood out immediately, making Vincent look at him in a new light.

"No matter what happens with that kind of thing," Felissa said, "You are safe now. Master Vincent will protect you and will not let others hurt you again."

"I'm very grateful to him for that," Karona sighed. "The past few months were like a nightmare."

And they still don't know if they have left the nightmare. Just staying in this place always reminds them of what happened here.

Others, too, although they had gained a moment of peace, were carefully avoiding the past. In fact, everyone was still in a depressive atmosphere.

"So," Felissa put forward her opinion, which was also the main purpose of her visit today, "do you want to consider changing to a different place?"

She had said hello to Vincent in advance, and asked the victim to keep wandering around the place where she was violated, and it would be strange for him to leave. Vincent had other considerations, so he agreed.

Karona was stunned: "Change the place, but where can we go?"

They had no other place to go in this city. The important thing was that they didn't have any savings, and they were afraid that if they went out and Cress found out, they would be tortured even more.

"Sir Vincent has already spotted a location. It's in the countryside. No one will know you. You can stay there with peace of mind."

The countryside? In their eyes in the past, the countryside meant backwardness, filth, and lowliness, but now they say they want to send them to the countryside?

There was a flash of resistance in Karona's heart, but this resistance soon disappeared.

Do they have any other choice? Besides, what position do they have to be picky about the countryside now? They... are no longer nobles a long time ago.

"Then what do you want me to do?" Karona asked softly.

After experiencing so much, they have long lost the innocence of believing whatever others said, and trusting others has led to their current ending.

What's more, that was Vincent's arrangement.

Carona didn't tell Felissa that that day Vincent opened the door to her room and walked slowly to the bed. Carona struggled to resist, but she heard Vincent say coldly: "Don't move.

, I’m not interested in you.”

Karona raised her head with difficulty and met Vincent's eyes.

They were a pair of cold, emotionless eyes that didn't even treat her as a human being.

This look scared her, but it reassured her that at least Vincent wouldn't do anything to her.

Vincent said: "If you want to gain peace, you must be honest and obedient. Do you understand?"

Karona nodded quickly without much hesitation. She wanted to be freed from this hell so much, even if what she had to face next might be another hell.
