Chapter Nineteen: Hold Her

"Well..." After a long wait, the ghost maid opened her eyes, looked at the pink ceiling transformed by Nelia, and suddenly sat up.

"You woke up, you were scared by yourself for a long time." As the gentle female voice sounded, the ghost maid turned her head and looked at Nelia, sitting in a chair holding the book with a charming smile on her face. The beauty and gentleness became the first impression of the ghost maid for Nelia.

The ghost maid, who suddenly remembered something, pulled open the quilt. After seeing his spiritual tail again, a gloom appeared on his face again. His lost balance body was about to faint again. Nelia, who took action in time, covered the ghost maid's eyes.

"Calm down, relax, don't think about anything, listen to me."

While comforting, Nelia sat behind the ghost maid, letting the other party's back lean against her, then put her mouth in the ghost maid's ear and said, "Listen, it's all right, at least you keep your consciousness now, and this result is not bad."

Listening to Nelia's words, the ghost maid nodded slightly, and her body trembling slowed down.

"Very good, my name is Nelia. Can you tell me your name?"

"Evelyn..."

"Evelyn, try to accept myself now. I will let go of my hand and let you continue to see your legs clearly. If you really can't accept it, you can close your eyes again."

After Nelia said that, she slowly moved away her hand covering Evelyn. Evelyn, who opened her eyes, looked at her legs, and her body began to tremble again.

Nelia, who felt that she was almost the same, covered Evelyn's eyes again, reached out and pulled the quilt to cover Evelyn's lower body. It was still unreliable to accept that he was dead and turned into a ghost, and Nelia needed guidance.

Recalling Bucott's comments when he was drinking before, Nelia already knew that spiritual bodies had taste. The difference was physicalization or spiritualization. She reached out to pick up her tea cup on the table, and the steaming black tea inside might help.

"Come on, drink something, don't think about those things." Nelia said, letting go of her hand covering Evelyn's eyes, and then handed the teacup to Evelyn's mouth.

Seeing Evelyn lifting her hands and taking the teacup and sending it to her mouth, Nelia shifted her butt and sat next to Evelyn, and asked softly: "Is it delicious?"

"Well..." Evelyn replied.

"So what are you still worried about now? Are there any changes in your body besides your legs? Need to be afraid of being like this?" Nelia said, taking the teacup, put it on the table, picking up the teapot and pouring tea into the cup again.

“…”

Evelyn looked at the quilt silently, she was still immersed in the news that she was dead, recalling the situation when she hid in the tower, only remembering that she was getting more and more sleepy, until she woke up and curled up in the corner.

The difference was that there was no movement outside the door and it mustered up the courage to go out, but in the end I was dead, and when I hid, I just wanted to live...

"Oh... OK, okay, don't think so much. Are you alive in another way now? Just look at it and just pretend that you have been imposed with some magic, but you can fly without legs, otherwise how have you lived in the past few thousand years?"

After Nelia said that, Evelyn looked at Nelia with an incredible expression. The surprise in her eyes told Nelia that she had no idea that she had spent thousands of years.

"You might not know, right?" Nelia asked.

"I... I just felt sleepy, and then I fell asleep. When I woke up, I saw you, Nelia." Evelyn replied in horror.

"Then you have to be mentally prepared, because this country has completely perished and is buried deep underground. Now you see the sunshine outside the window or the magic sun I created with magic." Nelia said earnestly.

"How could this happen... I'm going out to see it." Evelyn said, lifting the quilt and floating past Nelia, flying straight to the door of the room.

After unscrewing the door handle and opening the door, she saw a dilapidated stone brick corridor, a stone brick floor that had been dusty for a long time, and a severely weathered candlestick.

Put his hands on his chest, and his body floated back two steps, looking at the scene outside the room in confusion, and then hitting Nelia.

Looking back at Nelia's rigorous expression, she knew Nelia was not lying. As the maid of the palace, she was very clear about the aisle of the palace, especially the decorations outside the door that could hardly be seen in the prototype, which made her more clear that this was an ornament outside the king's dormitory.

"Come on, I'll take you out for a look." Nelia said, reaching out and inviting Evelyn to leave the room together.

Putting his hand on Nelia's hand, the warm body temperature passed to Evelyn along Nelia's palm. A different sense of security reached Evelyn's heart. He glanced at Nelia's side face and suddenly had a hint of blush on his face.

"Then let's go." Nelia said, holding Evelyn's hand and walking out of the room. The light ball in front of her illuminating the corridor ahead.

The two walked along the corridor toward the bottom of the castle. The abandoned armor and weapons on both sides of the aisle were seriously corroded. Most of the prototypes that had been corroded for thousands of years were no longer visible. Only some parts could be identified as armor.

Walking to a hall, Evelyn stopped and turned to look at the dilapidated wooden door.

"What's wrong? Do you want to go in and take a look?" Nelia asked back.

After a brief silence, Evelyn responded: "Yes."

Nelia then turned around and pushed the broken door with one hand. The rusty metal door shaft made a "creak" sound. With the sound of metal breaking, the wooden door in the hall collapsed down.

A loud noise echoed in the hall, and what came into view was severely decaying waste wood, but this place was particularly important for Evelyn.

Looking at the abandoned hall, tears appeared in my eyes. It was hard to remember the scene of the maid's rest hall in the past. Everyone in the maid group drank tea and chatted here, discussing how that looked. Another maid was proposed by the castle soldiers.

A reflection in the hall attracted Evelyn's gaze, then let go of Nelia and floated over. Among the piles of broken fabrics, Evelyn saw metal objects that were still reflective under the lighting technique.

A gold-collared emblem inlaid with rubies picked up the collared emblem in the worn clothes. The originally attached red satin tie had become rags and fell to the ground.

"Captain maid... are everyone... gone..." Holding the remaining collar badge with both hands, tears in Evelyn's eyes flooded out of her eyes. The faint sobbing made Nelia walk to Evelyn with some heartache, and put her hand on Evelyn's shoulder and said, "Is it okay?"
