After lying down, Lou Sha leaned close to Tianmiao’s ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Tianmiao, don’t be afraid. I could have been a Baron, but something went wrong. Tomorrow, I will request to see Duke Andophin, and ask her to let the two of us go. I will offer all of my family’s assets."
Tianmiao turned his head to look at Lou Sha. In the dark night, he saw Lou Sha’s clear eyes. Tianmiao smiled and whispered, "Okay."
In fact, in the original world, Lou Sha quickly realized her situation and made this wise decision. The next day she went to see Duke Andophin. As for the assets of a Baron’s title, Andophin was tempted. After all, who would dislike having more money? Lou Sha used her assets to barter for freedom because she knew that even if she got out, she wouldn’t be able to keep her assets. It would be better to use them to escape her current predicament, and she could also thwart those insane relatives, killing two birds with one stone.
Lou Sha almost succeeded, but one person said something that changed Andophin’s mind. Instead, she threw Lou Sha into that game.
Yes, the game.
Every year, Duke Andophin purchased young girls for the purpose of the game.
Castle Escape Hunt.
In the eerie, terrifying castle filled with traps, she divided the purchased girls into several teams and released them into the castle. Besides the various traps in the castle, there were roaming bloodthirsty knights. These knights, armed with lethal weapons, hunted these girls, and for every girl’s head they obtained, they received a reward of ten Gold Coins. Of course, the girls could also fight back and kill these roaming bloodthirsty knights.
Finding the exit and escaping outside the castle successfully? No! It’s not that simple. Each time, only two people could escape, which meant these two had to kill the other girls to truly escape.
Sometimes, when Andophin felt excited, she would bring her strong housekeeper to personally hunt the girls. She greatly enjoyed the thrilling bloodthirsty feeling. This bloody and thrilling activity attracted the interest of many nobles. As a result, Andophin began selling expensive tickets for these nobles to come and watch. Most of this money was given to the King.
The King’s special attitude toward Andophin was partly because this woman was breathtakingly beautiful, and partly because she brought him a large amount of income each year.
And the one who changed Andophin’s mind was the King. When Lou Sha approached Andophin to talk about the matter, the King was behind a veil, overhearing everything. He stopped Andophin’s promise and had Lou Sha taken away and thrown into the game.
Andophin asked for the reason, and the King laughed: "It’s always been lowly female slaves, but this time a noble lady is participating; I believe everyone will be more interested. This time the ticket price can be increased."
Andophin felt it was somewhat inappropriate but couldn’t defy the King’s order, so she threw Lou Sha into the game. Compared to the King, who only sought thrill, Andophin thought further. This time, a Baron’s daughter was thrown into the game; next time, will an Earl’s or a Duke’s daughter be thrown in? What about next time? Will it be the Earl and Duke themselves?
...
Lou Sha gently comforted Tianmiao: "You sleep, I will protect you."
Tianmiao closed his eyes and softly said, "Goodnight."
Sweet little girl, I really appreciate your intention. Tianmiao’s mouth curled slightly, and he fell asleep.
