Chapter 7: Escape at Night
Escape. After these two words popped up in Lilith's mind for the first time, she could no longer hold it back.
After Lilith's suddenly heated brain cooled down, she found that she had climbed out of the outer wall of Shelley's house through the tree next to the second floor...
Uh - so what next?
Most people in the town went to bed early. It was only about nine o'clock at night, and the streets of the town were already dark and quiet. Lilith stood in the back alley of Shelley's house holding the hem of her skirt, not knowing where to go next. Before she awakened her memory, she was just a little girl who only knew how to play every day and knew nothing about the world outside Shelley Town.
"What am I doing... I don't have any money or food with me. Even if I go to the forest, I can only hide there for a few days." Lilith regretted that in her previous life, she spent all day watching short videos on her phone. Why didn't she read more about survival in the wild?
The moon tonight was only a tiny tusk, and the moonlight was not very bright. She looked at the path that began to fade into darkness a few meters away, swallowed her saliva, and the desire to back out in her heart became louder and louder.
"...Although time is short, I should still make long-term plans." Lilith muttered to herself, trying to find reasons for herself. Looking at the towering wall, there were no trees on this side, so she had to turn around and walk towards the front door. "I have to bring enough money and prepare some food that can be easily stored in the summer. Then-"
"Da-da-da" the crisp sound of horse hooves rang out in the silent night, and Lilith looked up in surprise.
In the inky night, a group of armored men and horses quietly appeared in the town. They marched in silence and order, guarding a rather luxurious carriage. The lights in their hands emitted a faint but warm light. The little lights swayed in the darkness, as if they were dancing fires in the darkness.
Lilith's pupils shrank. That outfit... was a knight! Her heartbeat was like a drum beating in her chest. Could it be that the people from the Church of Light arrived early? !
Lilith's face turned pale. She subconsciously wanted to retreat back into the dark alley, but just as she took a step back -
"Who's there?"
Even though her head was covered with armor, the knight closest to her in the team immediately noticed the movement and turned around with his lantern. The few people closest to him in the team immediately put their hands on their swords and turned their horses around.
Lilith was instantly surrounded by several people's horses.
The knight with the lantern slowly approached, the sound of horse hooves was particularly clear in the silence. He approached Lilith, bent over and shone the light of the lantern on her, examining her carefully.
"Why are you running around outside so late at night, little girl?" An adult man's muffled voice came from inside the armor.
"I, I..." Lilith stuttered in despair. Why was it so fast? The pastor of the church said that he had just sent a letter to the reception officer of the High Court last month. Lilith predicted that they would take at least a week to arrive.
"Oh my God, Lilith! Why did you get outside--" Mary's low roar came from the front.
Lilith looked up in a daze. It turned out that someone at the front of the team had knocked on the door of the Shelley family courtyard. The candles in the house gradually lit up, lighting up each window in turn. Mary was standing at the door in her clothes, looking at her with a look of shock and anger.
"What's wrong with you?!" Mary rushed over and grabbed Lilith's arm and dragged her towards the door, feeling embarrassed under the gaze of the crowd. "You're climbing trees and climbing over walls in the middle of the night. I told you to behave yourself these few days! You're a noble lady!"
Lilith staggered two steps before catching up with Mary. She looked at the front of the team. The gate that looked warm on ordinary days now seemed like the gate of hell opened for her. The crowd in front was dim and unclear in the flickering candlelight, but they all turned towards her, as if they were soul-catchers who came to greet her on her journey.
There is no time - Lilith closed her eyes in despair.
"Mary!" She grabbed Mary and stopped. She couldn't help but tear up when she opened her mouth again. "Mary, thank you for taking care of me these years..." Her courtroom was ahead. If she didn't say it now, she didn't know if she would have another chance to thank Mary for her hard work over the years.
Mary looked puzzled. "What are you doing? Don't think I won't teach you a lesson just because guests are here. You want to coax me with a few sweet words, you..."
"Is this Miss Lilith?" A voice came from the front, coming from a middle-aged man with red hair and dressed very formally.
Lilith closed her mouth and looked over quietly without saying a word. The sword that had been hanging over her head seemed to have already put its tip against Lilith's neck. The hairs on her body almost stood up. She didn't know how capable this priest was, whether he could see her problem at a glance. She also didn't know if she still had a chance to escape...
"My last name is Hoffman. I am the butler and valet of your father, Viscount Freyr. Please just call me Hoffman, young lady." The red-haired man placed his right hand on his chest very formally and bowed.
"----ha??!"
After being stunned for five seconds, Lilith, who was still immersed in the atmosphere of waiting to die, uttered the loudest exclamation of the day.
After all this time, I recognized the wrong person! !
