Chapter 571: Drifting
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lily’s POV:
Behind me was an unfamiliar female servant. Or rather, I was unfamiliar with all the members of the Silver Moon Pack, including the female servants. She was sent by my mother to follow me. There was no doubt about it, just in case I did something stupid that would affect her and her family’s future.
For example, right now, I just wanted to go to the garden to get some fresh air, but the unfamiliar servant immediately blocked my way and said respectfully and unquestionably, “It’s already very late. Miss, it’s better not to go out.”
“Did my mom tell you to do this?” I stared at her. “She didn’t tell me anything and then ordered everyone to watch me?”
The servant silently blocked the door. This was her answer.
I had no intention of making things difficult for a worker, so I turned around and left. This was a trick my mother often used. She knew exactly who I was resentful of, so she was happy to use all kinds of innocent people to make me submit. She was always at a disadvantage against me, but it was easy for her to use others.
Like my father, these two high-ranking figures could finally see some of the former husband and wife in this regard.
I felt a little hungry. The food at the communication station was terrible. There was only a dim emergency light in the kitchen. The servant on duty pretended not to see me at my signal.
????????????????????????????????.????????????
There was a fruit mix and a blueberry cake in the fridge. Bad luck. They were all fruits that I hated. But my hungriness urged me to eat something to neutralize my stomach acid, so I cut a large piece of cake and carefully removed the jam, barely filling my stomach.
After supper, I realized the servant was still watching me at the door. I felt very annoyed. She was like a shadow, constantly monitoring my every move under my mother’s instructions. No one liked being watched, especially me.
“I’m going to sleep,” I said dryly. “You don’t have to watch me anymore. I know the windows in my room are locked. There are palace guards everywhere outside the manor. I can’t go anywhere. It’s useless for you to watch me. Go and rest.”
“Madam is very worried about your safety. Tomorrow is the Moonlight Festival. She cherishes this opportunity to celebrate the festival with you,” said the servant, still sticking close.
I was about to go upstairs when I heard this. I asked her, “Cherish? Alright then, may I ask where my mother, who cherished me so much, is now? If I remember correctly, she disappeared the moment she returned to this manor, and my dear second brother had already rushed back to Silver Moon Manor from the military camp early to participate in tomorrow’s Moonlight Festival, right?”
The servant was silent. I scratched my head in frustration, knowing I shouldn’t interrogate an innocent woman.
” You should go back It’s very late. You need to rest,” I said and ran upstairs without looking back. “I’ll sleep well. At least I won’t run away tonight and embarrass my mother when she introduced my brother to His Majesty tomorrow.”
This manor belonged to the Silver Moon Family more than a hundred years ago, but I was very unfamiliar with this place. I didn’t know where the stairs were, where the corners were, where the living room was, or where the servants’ rooms were. This wasn’t my home. There was no home in the Silver Moon Pack. I had tried to search for it in the Shadow Pack, but the situation was the same as in the Silver Moon Pack’s.
I was an extra person. Maybe there was a bed here that belonged to me, but this bed could also belong to many guests. It didn’t have to be me.
I was a guest, and I understood all of this.
The bedding emitted a faint lavender fragrance. I lay down for a while and sneezed a few times.
I have a slight sinusitis, and the fragrance makes me sneeze uncontrollably. But it was too troublesome to get someone to change the bedding now, so I just have to endure it for the night.
Unknowingly, I fell asleep. When I woke again, the servant had already hung up the dress for today in the cloakroom.
I’d seen them hold carnivals or parades in human society under various names. People wore all kinds of strange clothes and celebrated happily. Perhaps the brains of intelligent creatures were similar, and the Moonlight Festival was no different from human festivals.
Werewolves dressed in gorgeous costumes they usually wouldn’t wear, sang and danced with relatives, friends, and strangers, watched performances, and celebrated until dawn. Then, in their peaceful lives, they looked forward to the arrival of the next Moonlight Festival.
It was a white dress that looked like it was woven from moonlight. A sparkling diamond necklace was hanging on the jewelry rack at the side. The teardrop-shaped diamond was embellished in the middle, like the tears of a valkyrie’s lover when she died of a broken heart.
The goddess’s servant was well-behaved and did not have any problems. Most girls liked to dress up as waiters or valkyrie on Moonlight Festival, waiting for their relatives or lovers to send them a bouquet of tender primrose.
The lovely yellow flowers represented blessings and hope during the Moonlight Festival.
“Miss Lily, the makeup artist, is here. Do you want me to dress you up now?”
The servant’s voice came from outside. It was not the same one from last night. I responded and put down the necklace. I began to think about how to deal with the boring social situation..
