Allyce was forced to turn away.
She heard Severo’s cold voice sound behind her: “Get up.
Allyce pursed her lips and hesitated, but did not turn to speak further.
She could feel the anger Severo had been holding in his heart for the past few days, and though he hid it well, she had spent a lot of time with him and it wasn’t hard to find out.
Severo had never been kind to anyone but her.
He also thought that Tajo’s recent actions were chilling and that if Severo was in a bad mood, a fight would be a good way to bring him out.
With that in mind, Allyce stepped aside and decided to leave him alone.
She sat there for a while before Severo approached, her clothes slightly dishevelled.
Allyce got up and smoothed his clothes while advising him: “OK, stop getting angry and don’t get into random fights again.
“Hmm.” Severus replied faintly, his gaze resting on her unblinkingly.
Allyce felt a little uncomfortable at the look on his face and asked, “Is that bodyguard OK?
Severo said with a look of disinterest: “Yes, he’s still alive”.
As to whether he was crippled or not, he could not be sure.
Allyce tilted her head slightly and looked behind Severo, just in time to see two bodyguards holding the battered escort.
Seeing Allyce watching, the bodyguards stopped dead in their tracks.
Severo also turned his head and said, “Is he dead? Do you need to take him back?”
And with that he dragged Allyce along.
Allyce looked back with some concern: “Is that bodyguard all right?
“Yes.”
Severo stopped suddenly in his tracks and turned his head to look at her, his dark eyes were so deep that they seemed to have an ink that could not be melted.
When Allyce saw him looking at her like that, she was momentarily taken aback and asked: “What’s wrong?
Only then did Severo speak: “It’s about J. You’re the grandson-in-law of the Solares family, you don’t have to worry about the death of a bodyguard or have any compassion, OK?
“What do you mean?”
“Just do as I say.
Allyce was about to ask something else when Severo was already pulling her forward.
She looked at Severo’s tall back with an inexplicable heaviness, the Severo she had just been at that moment made her feel a little strange.
…
Allyce and Severo had eaten out before returning to Solares Castle.
It was nine o’clock when they returned.
Saul, again, was already waiting for them at the door.
Saul’s manner was as respectful as ever: “Master Severo, Miss Delahoz, Monsieur le Comte awaits you for dinner”.
Allyce sniffed and couldn’t help but turn her head to lock eyes with Severo.
What murky idea had occurred to Tajo again, he thought a little gloomily?
“Oh, we’ve already eaten.” Severo spoke nonchalantly.
Saul seemed to have expected this answer from Severo and said: “The Count has been waiting for an hour, so even if young master Severo has eaten, please come forward.
Severo didn’t know what had occurred to him, but he turned his head to look at Allyce and said, “You are tired after a long day’s play, so go to your room and rest.
Allyce wanted to say more, but Severo was already pushing her inside.
Saul saw this and said: “Miss Delahoz she …”.
“My wife is tired and needs rest, is it your turn to interrupt?” Severo turned his head and looked at Saul, gagging him with those words alone.
He lowered his head and stopped talking.
Once again, Allyce realised that at Solares Castle the servants were just that, servants.
“Go, wait for the return. Severus bowed his head and kissed her, gave her these words and took Saul away.
…
In the dining room, Tajo sat at the head table, his face stoic and unsure of what he was thinking.
Saul approached and whispered beside him: “Count, the young master Severus is here.
His words brought Tajo’s thoughts back.
“Where’s Allyce?” Tajo asked more when he turned his head and saw that Severo was alone.
“She’s tired and I let her rest first.” Severo said, casually pulling out a chair and taking the first seat under Tajo.
Without waiting for Tajo to say anything, Severo added, “Say what you want, I’m going back to rest when you’re done, it’s been a tiring few days of fun.”
Severo leaned back lazily in his chair and looked at Tajo with indifference and a hint of urgency on his face.
Tajo’s face sank slightly at this, and he told Saul and the other servants to leave before speaking sternly: “What are you doing today, why did you hit the bodyguard? Do you know that the bodyguard has been crippled by you?
“The bodyguards you sent to protect me, they disobeyed me, so I can’t teach them a lesson?” Severus said nonchalantly.
Tajo snorted coldly and said: “Hmph, you’re not teaching him a lesson, you’re obviously holding a grudge against me and taking it out on him!
“That’s the kind of thing you just know, it goes without saying.” Severo glanced at him and sounded impatient: “I’ll be back if there’s nothing else.
“You …”
“I’m leaving.
Severo said, and got up and walked out the door.
He hadn’t gone far when he heard the sound of Tajo hitting something behind him.
The corners of Severo’s mouth turned up in an arc of contempt, as Tajo was pressing hard, to see who would have the last laugh.
…
The next day, it was clear to Allyce that the maids who looked after them had become very afraid of them.
Apart from necessary contact, the maids avoided them as much as possible.
Allyce was puzzled.
“What’s wrong with all of them? They seem to be afraid of us,” Allyce asked Severo when she found the opportunity.
Severo was playing a game on his phone and took the time to look at her when he heard what she said: “Who knows? People are like that around here, you don’t care about them”.
When he finished and saw that Allyce was still looking puzzled, he added: “Come and play the game, we’ll team up and go together”.
Allyce: “…”
She felt that Severo had become increasingly inactive since he arrived at Solares Castle, either taking her for walks or staying at home with her to play.
It was as if he didn’t care about anything else.
“What’s with the daze?”
Severo saw that she hadn’t moved, and after glancing at her, he took out his phone, opened the game and plugged it in, before pushing it in.
The game was the same one Severo had played before, it had been officially launched and was well received, he himself seemed to like it and used to play a couple of games when he had nothing else to do, occasionally taking Allyce with him.
Allyce picked up the phone and still couldn’t resist asking him: “Do you have any plans?
Severo said: “When the party organised by grandfather is over, I will go to work at the company”.
