Tanmei Fairy Tales

Several days passed after that, and I was always hiding in the library and turning the pages, avoiding Mr. DeVry's concerned and sad eyes.

One day, I heard the court's final verdict on Mr. DeVry amidst the sighing whispers of the old housekeeper and the manor maid.After extorting a "facilitating payment" from him severely, Mr. De Fury was finally charged with "attempting to moles his minor adopted son" and sentenced to [-] days' imprisonment, effective immediately.

I rushed to the gate of the manor, and once again, I had no choice but to watch those people take my protector away.It turns out that this world is so insane that reverses black and white. Those who hit me with thick wooden sticks, insult me, and pee on me will not be punished, but an innocent good man like Mr. DeVry will suffered unwarranted framing.

"Di———!" I choked my throat and shouted with all my strength, my vocal cords seemed to be trembling and about to break.I was really useless, at the last moment of parting, I wanted to call out his name, but I could only yell out this dilapidated roar, like a trembling and broken thorn in the wind.

Mr DeVry wept too.He struggled desperately, wanting to rush over and hug me again, but those unreasonable people caught him, dragged him, and stuffed him into the police car.Mr. Duffery has long lost the chicness he had when we first met him. His windbreaker was torn, his hair was messy, and his eyes were red and swollen, as if he hadn't slept for many nights.Even when he was forced to disappear with the car, a maroon leather shoe was left in a state of embarrassment on the ground.

I scrambled and ran over, grabbed the leather shoe in my hand, his body temperature was still on it, but my beloved was gone.The people in the manor formed a circle and watched this scene. After Duffery left, they only looked at me with coldness and disgust. I seemed to hear countless voices at the same time: It's all you, why don't you Get out, you've got Mr. DeVry locked up, you've got us all about to lose our jobs...it's you, it's you, it's you, it's you...

Sure enough, when I stumbled to my feet and walked out in a daze, no one spoke, and no one stopped me. They wished they could drive me, the god of plague, as far away as possible, as far away as possible...

Now, where can I go?

Of course, if there is a place in this world that can be called "home" that can accommodate me, it is the small nest where I grew up and the small house where Kathy and I lived.I haven't been back for a long time, how is Kathy doing now?These days, I have been so busy worrying about De Fury that I almost forgot that my dear adoptive mother is still suffering outside.

She once said that sending me to Duffery Manor was the only way, but she didn't expect that things would develop to such a degree.Fortunately, Mr. De Fury will be released soon. I hope that my departure can take all his bad luck away.Goodbye, good man.

No, I have to go back and see Kathy quickly.I cheered myself up and couldn't help speeding up my pace.

But within a few steps, I heard someone calling my name from a long distance: "Hello—Shelette—"

Looking around, I saw a young man running towards me out of breath, about the same age as me, maybe a little older than me.He ran up to me, patted me on the shoulder with a smile, and said familiarly: "Hey, I have found you. Ms. Casey asked me to pick you up. Come with me."
