Free Web NovelChapter 186: Chapter 186: Shocked Loli, a Bratty Kid from the Sky
At that moment.
Bonnie had been sent by the head maid to deliver afternoon tea to Young Master Sam on the second floor.
She was carrying a tray of exquisite pastries.
She couldn’t help but swallow hard.
The silver dessert tray gleamed with a soft light. The aroma of macarons mingled with the fragrant steam of hot black tea, and a pure gold teaspoon clinked gently against the cup’s rim, producing a crisp, clear sound.
Even though her treatment as a maid was better than that of the other marriage candidates, it was still barely enough to sate her hunger.
Only the young masters and ladies of the manor were worthy of enjoying such exquisite refreshments.
Just as Bonnie entered the bedroom, fighting back the rumbling in her stomach, she found Sam sitting not far away, playing with his toys.
He had a head of fluffy, brown curly hair that looked like a tousled bird’s nest. Though he appeared to be fifteen or sixteen, his mannerisms were still incredibly childish. Only the ends of his eyebrows were arched high, giving him a somewhat provocative air.
The bedsheets and quilt, which had just been tidied up this morning.
All the other items in the bedroom.
Had been unceremoniously dumped on the floor by Sam.
He had absolutely no appreciation for the maid’s hard work.
And that wasn’t all.
A recently mangled titmouse, a pile of bones arranged like building blocks, a bowl of warm blood, and a nauseating, gory arm...
These were all his toys.
A putrid stench permeated the air.
Sam was fiddling with them tirelessly.
He poured the bowl of blood into the titmouse’s carcass, filling it to the brim. Then, he used a needle and thread to stitch the severed arm to the bird’s body. Finally, lifting the arm like a fishing rod, he flung the bizarre avian corpse out the window. freewebnovёl.ƈom
Soon, a male titmouse was drawn in.
It was the mate of the female titmouse he held.
"Success!"
Sam cheered, his figure blurring in a sudden flash of movement!
He snatched the male titmouse out of the air!
Heedless of its terrified struggles, Sam shoved the bird into his mouth, feathers and all. He bit off its head, sucked the blood from its body, and set the desiccated corpse aside as another addition to his collection.
No one could possibly guess what went on in the depths of his twisted mind.
Just as Bonnie’s face grew pale and her stomach churned...
"BANG!!"
Sam flung his homemade "fishing rod" at Bonnie!
It crashed right into the dessert tray.
With a loud CLATTER, Bonnie lost her grip. The pastries and tea all tumbled to the floor.
Her face went deathly pale, and she immediately moved to kneel and apologize.
But Sam just let out a bizarre cackle, his eyes darting about wildly. He seemed quite pleased with his prank.
"Haha, you idiot! You moron! Scared by a little thing like that!"
"Hey, you! Get over here and play with me!"
Bonnie breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed he wasn’t going to hold it against her.
Resigned, she could only approach with her head bowed. "Yes, Young Master Sam."
"Aren’t they great? My collection!"
Sam showed off his collection to Bonnie.
"They’re... they’re wonderful," Bonnie answered, forcing herself.
"Hey, what’s with that face!" Sam said, displeased. He wanted to see utter shock, not this forced expression. "Have you seen something even more amazing than my treasures?"
"Well—"
Cold sweat dripped from Bonnie’s temples.
’Honestly, isn’t this just a pile of garbage?’
’Only someone like Sam, who’s been cooped up in this manor for so long that his personality has become twisted, would think this stuff is impressive.’
’But I can’t say that!’
’Otherwise, with his personality, he’d definitely torture me to death!’
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Bonnie’s mind. She thought of Yun Zhenyue. Didn’t Yun Zhenyue have a lot of treasures? That cat of hers, Lily, would be enough to keep Sam entertained for a year.
’But wasn’t that cat supposed to be an Evil Star?’
’It’s hard to say who would be playing with whom.’
"Young Master Sam, I actually know someone, she works here in the manor too, and she has a number of treasures that could rival yours..." Bonnie said, deliberately changing the subject.
"Hmm? You’d better not be lying to me!"
Sam’s brows knitted together, his arched eyebrows taking on a threatening look.
"It’s true! I swear on my life—"
Bonnie explained hurriedly.
"She has a strange cat, one with no eyes. She has a lot of dolls, too. I once saw a panda doll that seemed to be alive... she often keeps it on her shoulder..."
Hearing this, Sam’s interest was piqued.
A look of wonder filled his eyes. These things sounded even better than his own treasures. He couldn’t contain himself and was about to demand Bonnie take him to this person.
But then...
...he heard Bonnie’s hesitant voice.
"It’s just... she and Miss Loli seem to have become friends. Would it be wrong to take her things?"
"Hmph!"
Sam grew irritated at the mere mention of Loli’s name.
Even though she was his sister, he utterly despised her!
’It was because of her that their father always said he was a bully who picked on the weak and neglected his duties. But as the son of a Marquis, wasn’t he supposed to be more noble than everyone else?’
Seeing Sam’s irritated expression, Bonnie knew she had made the right gamble.
’She had just seen Loli and Yun Zhenyue talking in the garden earlier.’
’And she knew that every time Loli was mentioned, Sam would look disgusted.’
’Provoking him like this would only fuel his rebellious streak.’
"Tell her to go to the cellar. Say I need to see her about something."
With only those words, Sam left the room.
Bonnie’s heart pounded in her chest. She had finally escaped the jaws of death.
’Too bad for Yun Zhenyue, though.’
She rationalized to herself.
’It’s not my fault. Who told Yun Zhenyue to show off like that?’
’If she hadn’t, I wouldn’t have become so jealous.’
...
Seeing this, the viewers from Dragon Country were utterly disgusted.
[Damn, what is wrong with her? When did Yun Zhenyue ever do anything to her?]
[Stirring up shit for no reason? What a bitch!]
[Jesus, she can’t handle her own job as a maid, so she screws over another marriage candidate. That woman is rotten to the core.]
[I’m never watching a show from the Corruption Country again.]
...
In response to this, the people of the Corruption Country were completely unfazed.
After all, their country had always subscribed to the "survival of the fittest" philosophy.
The blood of pillagers and killers flowed in their veins; they were no different from bandits.
Bonnie’s quick thinking earned cheers from many citizens of the Corruption Country.
[She’s just trying to survive. There’s nothing wrong with that.] freewebnøvel.coɱ
[Miss Bonnie is so clever! She must possess a noble bloodline, one far more suited for survival than the tainted blood of that woman from Dragon Country.]
[It’s not like she brought it up on purpose. Young Master Sam asked a question, and Bonnie was just being loyal by answering him.]
...
At that moment.
Loli had returned to the garden.
As they had agreed, she was to teach Yun Zhenyue proper etiquette and help her control the roses. In return, Yun Zhenyue would provide her with lemon tea.
But after waiting for quite some time, Loli couldn’t find any sign of Yun Zhenyue.
She hesitated for a moment before stopping a passing maid to inquire.
Only then did she learn that Yun Zhenyue had been summoned to the cellar by Sam.
"How could that be?"
Loli panicked instantly!
’She knew her brother’s personality all too well.’
’He was purely vile!’
’To call him a beast would be an insult to beasts.’
’Could this be because of me?’
’Sam wants to kill Yun Zhenyue.’
As Loli rushed toward the cellar in a corner of the manor grounds, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine!
It felt as if something was coming.
She looked up!
HUMMM!
Loli stared in stunned disbelief.
"What is..."
Her pupils constricted as she froze in place.
She was staring at a paper airplane wobbling through the sky. It appeared to be drawn with delicate brushstrokes and was carrying several people. It seemed to be moving too fast and was now out of control!
Accompanied by a series of screams!
Several figures tumbled from the sky!
