The Transmigrated Novelist - Chapter 261
Despite the service that she was receiving, the woman didn’t seem content in the least. In fact, she looked extremely angry and dissatisfied.
“Where the hell has that bastard hidden that slu*t?”
Even though she said those words under breath, the woman under her who was licking her private garden was able to hear, but she didn’t stop her work in the least.
She wasn’t the only one to have heard those words though, as Roy and Amelia heard her words too, which made their suspicions about this place even firmer.
While Roy managed to keep his calm in this situation, Amelia’s heart started beating faster and faster, as she finally had a sound lead on her mother’s tracks.
Her sudden excitement clearly affected the camouflage on her body but fortunately, the woman sipping on her tea had greater worries than looking around her and wasn’t able to notice anything.
On the other hand, Roy grabbed Amelia’s hand and looked her right on the eyes, as his face clearly expressed only one thing,
‘Calm down, we can’t blow our cover now!’
Amelia understood that as well, and with his help managed to take her heartbeat under control once again, while waiting for something else.
Unfortunately, that was everything the woman said, who displeased with the service she was receiving, she actually took her teat cup and hit the woman below her with it,
“You damn waste, you hurt me with your teeth! Do your job properly if you don’t want to die!”
‘Bangggg…, Clanggg…’
The cup hit the woman below right on the center of her forehead, cutting the woman’s forehead and drawing even a little bit of blood, and then fell on the floor cracking.
The victim could only look at her Madam in surprise, startle, and pain as she didn’t dare to blame her Madam for whatever had happened.
If she dared to do something like that, she would end up in a much worse situation than this. It was certainly going to be much more painful as well.
‘Slaaappppp~! Slapppppp~!’
Why the hell are you looking at me like that, you dirty swine! Are you tired of living!?”
Even though the poor victim wasn’t showing any sign of anger or even emotion besides the pain on her face, the Madam seemed to be extremely angry at her.
The truth was that she didn’t really care about the way the slave looked at her, or what she thought about her, she only wanted a target to release her frustration that had built up lately.
After experiencing that man’s treatment, she had been completely changed, and she couldn’t enjoy any intimate contact like before anymore.
Her life had certainly become much more difficult and unhappy as she had lost one of the few things that kept her happy and satisfied.
Roy didn’t need to look at her for long to understand what was wrong with her, and decided to give her his full treatment later, but right now he had something much more important to take care of.
Completely ignoring the scene in front of him, Roy awaited for the Madam to throw the slave out of the room, and immediately followed behind her to get outside of the room.
In order to find the location of Lady Fiona, but also to prepare for any possible change in the situation, he had to make sure that he had full knowledge of the area and the structure of the building.
Most of the rooms were empty, and a few of them were occupied by Count Reik’s other wives and lovers, that he would visit whenever he was bored.
In this world, whoever had the strength and money could do whatever they wanted without caring much about public opinion, rights, or justice.
A few of them were beauties, and a few were even younger than one would have thought or considered, but this entered the Count’s references, and no one really cared about it.
As long as someone didn’t have enough strength, wealth, and disposition to make a normal living, they would be forced through many means to end up in such situations and positions.
This didn’t mean that all of them were the same though, as many of them were pressured and forced to come and take this position.
After all, a strong, arrogant, and selfish man would do whatever he could to reach his goals and obsessions.
At first, Roy was a bit taken aback and startled by this situation, but slowly he got used to it, and by now it didn’t make much impression on him.
It was a new normal to him and this world. Something that he wouldn’t be able to change even if he became the top figure of this new continent and planet.
Not to mention that right now he had a much different purpose and goal for being here, as he slowly started making his way below the building.
No matter which age and era people would always try to hide everything in the belly of dirt below their feet, and this Count Reik shouldn’t be much different.
With those thoughts in mind, Roy and Amelia reached the lowest level being the basement of the Mansion, but still, they found nothing.
They found the entrance to Count Reik’s underground base, but that shouldn’t be where Lady Fiona was kept.
After all, if Lady Fiona was there, the Madam would have already found her and reported her presence to whoever she wanted to give that news to.
For that reason, Roy started looking more around the place, for a second safe place. A place that even the Madam shouldn’t know about.
He looked all over the place, but there seemed to be nothing new. Even underground there didn’t seem to be anything extra.
This place seemed to be a dead end!
‘Schliiinnnggggg~!’
No matter how much he didn’t like it, there was nothing he could do about it. Just as he and Amelia were thinking to leave the place, the sound of a cracking metallic gate sounded behind them.
They immediately turned their heads towards the direction, only to see the full wall of the west side, which seemed to be something similar to a Family Altar drop down and reveal an opening.
The reason why they had found no sign of that opening before was because the actual opening wasn’t below, but above.
This Count Reik seemed to be extremely intelligent. He had actually blocked a part of his Mansion from inside and created a pocket on the corner.
As the ‘elevator’ stone thing was lowering down, Count Reik appeared on their sight, with a clear depraved, and angry look on his face.
Even the clothes on his lower body seemed to be a bit crooked, which Roy was forced to hide by hugging and robbing Amelia’s lips, not allowing her to pay attention to the gut.
He had to do that otherwise, they would be discovered and there was no way this was going to end up well.
Amelia clearly understood that there was something wrong with the situation, but since she didn’t see anything, her emotional state wasn’t agitated as much it would have.
Roy didn’t lose time before taking her in his arms and immediately jumping on the elevator before Count Reik could fall down as he didn’t want to lose this chance.
He didn’t know whether there would be a trap formation at the entrance or not, but he guessed that if there were traces of a formation there, then this place would be easily discovered.
The illusion information was already a big risk in this part of the wall, which made it look like it was deeper than it looked, so it should be safe in that regard.
Heaven seemed to be on his side, as even when he jumped on the elevator there was no alarm, or formation activated, as he waited for Count Reik to go down and then allow the elevator to pull them up.
Things were actually going much smoother than he thought, as in a short time he and Amelia were actually being pulled up with the elevator.
It was only when they reached the second floor that Roy understood that things wouldn’t be as simple as he had thought.
While Count Reik didn’t seem to have created many traps about the elevator, the path above was riddled with all kinds of traps and weapons.
It truly made even Roy’s heartbeat tremble in fear for a moment, as he looked at all the traps in front of him, capable of cutting through even a Rank 5 Warrior.
There were all kinds of magic attacks, sharp weapons, and even colorful poisons on their path, making everyone think they were actually climbing hell.
Of course, Roy was thinking of dodging and avoiding all the deadly traps no matter what, but just as he was about to move, Amelia actually stopped him with a sign.
Roy was clearly surprised by Amelia’s actions and reaction, but he still decided to trust her. If he had learned one thing about this beauty, was that her instincts, and senses were sharper than his.
Well, considering her father that made a lot of sense, despite hurting Roy’s pride more than a little. What man would be willing to accept that he was weaker than his woman in what had to be his field of expertise.
Still, since he was raised with the culture of his old home, he was able to accept that fact for the meantime, despite swearing that it would change in the future.
It was only when…
