Christina's uncle, a gentleman she considered elegant and unhurried, inadvertently knocked over the glass of water in front of him.

It seemed that because of the look between her and the housekeeper, the housekeeper's eyes passed through her uncle's side several times, and his uncle also became nervous.

Clear water quickly spread across the table.

Everyone in the family cast their eyes on him.

Including Christina.

It wasn't anything, but she didn't expect her uncle to make such a mistake.

What she didn't expect was.

The uncle's face instantly turned pale.

In his panic, he stood up from the chair, almost as an instinctive reaction, bowed his head deeply to the brown-haired and green-eyed butler, and apologized repeatedly with a trembling voice:

"I'm very sorry. Please forgive my carelessness."

His attitude was not like an apology to a servant, but more like a sincere fear when facing an elder with extremely high authority.

Christina's eyes widened, and the air in the entire restaurant seemed to freeze.

She looked at the other family members in shock.

but.

No one in her family said anything, their expressions were complicated.

"Mr. Rocky, I'm really sorry!"

The uncle quickly knelt on the ground and tremblingly confessed to Butler Lodge.

"it does not matter."

The butler just smiled gently, knelt down and helped his uncle up, quickly cleared the table, put a napkin on him and asked him to continue eating.

"have a good meal."

Although his voice was not loud, it conveyed an irresistible majesty that made the uncle seem to want to obey his instructions involuntarily.

Then, I saw a happy smile on my uncle's face, and he sat back in his seat and began to eat, just like a child encouraged by the teacher.

The butler with brown hair and green eyes just retreated to the wall again.

"...?!!"

At this moment, Christina felt unprecedented panic and confusion.

It was obviously noon in summer, but she felt chilled all over, and her back tensed subconsciously.

what on earth is it?

The entire dining room was filled with a strange atmosphere, as if it was not the home she was familiar with, but some evil presence had come, polluting this warm home, turning Count Baptiste's house into the evil god's dinner plate.

Nothing seemed right, but the rest of the family didn't think there was anything wrong with the uncle and the housekeeper, and they were still enjoying their lunch happily.

The restaurant was so quiet that Christina couldn't sit still.

At best, her family seems to have been deeply purified, gained true peace, and found faith. At worst, it seems that their mental state has completely changed!

She even suspected that all of her family had become cultists!

When Christina looked towards the wall again.

The butler with brown hair and green eyes stood back to his original position, waiting for everyone's orders. He was like a puppet master behind the curtain, silently smiling as he watched his dolls stage a family dinner drama.

Christina didn't dare to say anything.

I just suppressed the timidity in my heart, tried to think on the bright side, and accepted the facts.

At least this is the center of Huadu Parrieux.

If someone openly entered their count's house to commit murder, I'm afraid the entire Huadu security would be compromised.

The clock on the wall read just before one o'clock in the afternoon.

Count Baptiste's family had finished lunch.

As usual, everyone gradually left the dining room and went about their own business.

The family members dispersed at this moment, making Christina feel like normal again, and her heartbeat slowed down.

The butler named Rocky also started his work, directing the afternoon work of the servants in the house.

Although Christina feels that the danger is not that great anymore.

But she always felt that something was wrong with this home.

The weird feeling I had at lunch just now is not without problems at all! !

Just thinking about those emerald green eyes that were a bit eerie gave her goosebumps.

On the first floor of the mansion, Christina walked as if nothing had happened, glancing at her father and mother who were still sitting in the dining room.

They were chatting after dinner with Lodge Butler.

Christina couldn't hear what exactly they were talking about.

However, his father would smile with joy at Butler Lodge, as if he had found a soulmate, and his mother's cheeks would turn slightly red because of his compliments.

After a while, Butler Rocky walked out of the dining room.

Her brother Kyle found a housekeeper again.

"Mr. Lodge, do you have time this afternoon?"

"of course."

"Then I'll make an appointment with you."

"No problem, let me see the work schedule."

Christina watched in disbelief as the housekeeper and her brother walked past and headed to the second floor.

Even his brother, who had always been a playboy, became like a gentleman, treating him respectfully and calling him teacher.

The elder brother followed the housekeeper like a student and a professor, chatting about academic topics as they walked.

She thought to herself that she hadn't been back for just a month!

Then, the younger sister and her cousins ​​gathered around Rocky again, clamoring for him to play with them.

Rocky started coaxing everyone again.

far away.

"How many days has Mr. Rocky McCarthy been at work?"

Christina quickly waved to call the maid in the living room, looked at the back of the housekeeper in the distance and asked.

"Three days."

The green-haired demon maid bowed slightly and responded,

"Two and a half days to be precise? Mr. Lodge was brought back by Master Kyle at noon the day before yesterday."

The serving demon maid looked at the clock and added.

""

Christina's scalp felt numb as if she had seen an evil god.

It happened that at this time, Butler Rocky turned around.

It seemed that all this was seen by Butler Rocky, as there seemed to be eyes on his back.

The butler's gaze came over and met Christina's eyes.

Christina quickly lowered her head to hide her trembling eyes.

"Master Kyle, please excuse me."

Butler Lodge and the blond young earl next to him apologized, and at the same time touched the heads of his younger brothers and sisters.

"No problem, go ahead."

Master Kyle patted Butler Lodge's arm casually.

So the housekeeper walked towards Christina in the living room.

"Miss Christina, are you okay?"

Butler Rocky walked down the wide steps on the second floor and came to the living room to ask Christina and the maid.

"fine."

Christina looked at the housekeeper warily and said.

She subconsciously constructed magic that could counter mental attacks in advance.

"Miss Christina, first of all, I am not a spiritual mage."

Butler Rocky smiled helplessly,

"If you think I am suspected of using magic in my house, you can take your family members for a checkup. I will not stop you."

he said slightly sadly.

"..."

Christina was slightly embarrassed when she was discovered to have magic in her body.

After all, she had gone to school and had some understanding of spiritual magic.

If you want to achieve true mental control, it is a million times more difficult than simply controlling the body with your mind.

Moreover, this kind of mind-control magic is not only of extremely high rank and grade, but also has strict prerequisites. If it is activated in the residential area of ​​​​Huadu Parrieux, it will definitely trigger a surveillance barrier reaction.

Her family also has a protective barrier passed down from her ancestors.

It's really not very possible.

"Then Miss Christina, if you have any instructions, feel free to contact me at any time. Of course, my working hours are from 8 am to 5 pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. 1 to 2 pm is my rest time."

The butler said politely, bidding farewell to Christina and the maid.

For a long time, Christina still stood in the living room.
