This house was not huge.
However, Alex followed Dave’s phantom and walked toward a regular wall. But, then, he knew that there was something else hidden here.
Whoosh. A shadow flashed.
Alex followed him and disappeared together into the wall. When he blinked again, he saw an ancient, desolated and quiet space in a cave-dwelling. The space was not large, and its size was just about half of the room outside. It was empty without any daily necessities and only in the most central position…
A coffin was placed. It was a glittering golden coffin.
Alex was slightly stunned when he saw the scene inside, but he saw a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy and circulation of tenuous runic luster on the ground where the coffin was placed.
“Senior, this is…”
Alex had some kind of guess as he looked at Dave’s phantom. Although a coffin separated it, he could still sense the life aura from the inside.
A living person was lying inside the coffin.
***
At the same time, Hermione and Ynes were still standing in the corner of that house, motionless, outside the cave-dwelling.
Dave had only released the confinement spell that he had cast on Alex earlier, so there was no change for the two women.
Hermione said, “Ynes Larkin when you rejected the engagement with my senior and turned to engage with Donovan Orlando back then, did you ever think that you would be in such a state today?”
If her master’s husband forced her to kneel before Ynes to wash her feet, would she be able to refuse him?
It seemed that she would not be able to refuse him, especially under Neela’s intervention. Even if she was reluctant, she could only act accordingly.
Seeing the change in Hermione’s expression, Ynes sneered. “What about it? Are you afraid? So, you better know your place and don’t force me to do something out of line. Otherwise, you won’t end well.”
Hermione sneered. “Do you think I’m afraid of you? Perhaps you’ve never seen my master’s appearance. She’s a thousand times, ten thousand times prettier than you. A woman like you is simply no match for even her pinkie. Moreover, my master has given birth to four children for my master’s husband. You… Go and daydream! You should be worried the most about what Donovan Orlando will do to you and also your Yorkshire Palace.”
Ynes was distressed once she thought of such a possibility.
The grand elder and Winona would definitely exaggerate the incident that occurred tonight and tell her master. Furthermore, the people of the Sun Shrine would go there and denounce her for her crimes. Therefore, even if her master wanted to defend her, she would not have sufficient reasons to do so.
