"Trust? Am I?" Leya asked in surprise. She unconsciously looked at Fei not far away. The latter seemed to ignore her at all.

"Yes, because of this work, you are the most suitable person. It should be said that this is also the work assigned by the master." Metal ball said. "So I hope you can agree." It has noticed the hesitation in Leya's eyes. "As for Miss Fei, she will cooperate with you to complete the work."

"Cooperate?..." Leya looked at Fei again. Of course, Fei's expression did not change at all. She didn't even seem to hear the conversation between Leya and Carrie at all. Her eyes were only looking in front of her, her mouth kept moving. "What the hell is it?" She has lost the ability to understand the line of fate, so what else can she do?

"That's right, there are about a dozen girls locked up on the lower floor of the castle." Carrie - that is, the metal ball - said in a gentle and calm tone. "They are all female slaves, and they were given to the masters. In fact, their intention was to let the masters enjoy their bodies and blood at will, but the master does not want to hurt them at the moment. However, for other reasons, the master cannot just let them leave directly. So he can only temporarily lock them up in the lower floor of the castle."

"However, something unexpected happened. A few days ago, a few days before the master came back, one of them had self-harm with a sharp weapon. If it hadn't been discovered early, she would have died like this. So the master thought that if he continued to imprison like this, such things might have increased. He didn't want to see this kind of thing continue to happen, so I hope you can solve this problem."

"Then...what can I do? How can I do it?"

"You have to be responsible for managing them..." Carrie replied. "This kind of thing happens because they have been locked up for too long. Due to long-term imprisonment, they lack communication with the outside world, so their anxiety and fear are ultimately unbearable. They seek relief from death and pain in an abnormal mental state. In order not to happen again, the master believes that they must be released and that they can communicate with others."

"Management? But I..." She had never held any position, and in fact, she had never done any job except divination. Leya looked at Fei again, but the latter still ignored her.

"Please don't think it's hard. In fact, everything will be very simple. It's just that you... lead them to do something ordinary. Some things that are suitable for groups to do together... Well, I think learning is good."

"study?"

"Well, learn to read and write common languages. But other things are OK, such as organizing and cleaning."

Although reading and writing are not rare skills, it is easy to learn. In fact, few people among the civilians can read and write. Even among the nobles, a considerable number of people cannot read or write. From this point of view, those girls should also be of this type.

"But I... can't." Leya had just recovered her vision, and of course she couldn't read a word.

"Then it's just a chance to learn together. You know, reading and writing are indispensable skills as a hostess."

A very crisp sound was made not far away. Leya couldn't help looking in the direction of the sound, but what she saw was Fei putting the wine glass on the table, but the force was too strong, causing the cup to break.

"Is there any problem?" Carrie ignored Fei and continued to ask.

"I think I can give it a try. But, I can ask, how does the Duke want to treat those girls?"

"Actually, he just wants to close them for a few years and send them away." Carrie replied. "He has his own reasons for doing this. Since you agree, I will send you there after you finish the meal. You can learn about the situation a little first."

For some reason, Leya intuitively knew that this "learning" plan was not Carrie's casual proposal.

"If you want to learn reading and writing, you should need a teacher, right? Who will be responsible for teaching?"

"Of course it's me." This time, Fei replied in a cold voice. "It's so pitiful. I finally got my eyes but I was still blind." Although she answered, her eyes didn't look over. "I even need a female orangutan that came out of the jungle to be responsible for teaching."

This woman was still holding a grudge... Lea swallowed hard, and she felt a numbness on her spine. Did she curse too much last night? But at that time, she was really angry and didn't care about how good she should be.

Thinking of Fei's actions before, she felt scared again. This woman might have found a chance to take revenge.

Carrie's "send" is the real "send". Leya put her hand on the metal ball, and she immediately felt her steps floating, and she felt weightless as if she was falling from the air. She lowered her head and found that she had floated up, as if she had lost weight. The metal ball looked round and closed, but there was a sticky force from nowhere on it, sticking to her hands. Because her body was suspended and she lost weight, she was easily carried to the air to fly.

The last time Leya touched it, she didn't feel anything other than metal. So she judged that this metal ball called "Carley" could control this sticky force at will.

Although this feeling is wonderful, it does not make people feel uneasy. Because Carrie's suspension height is very low, it only barely reaches the point where she lets Leya's feet off the ground.

"Miss Fei, come with me." Carrie floated to Fei's side and said. After Fei finished eating, she sat there without moving. Now when she heard Carrie's request, she reluctantly placed her hand on the metal ball. However, she deliberately placed her hand farthest from Leya's hand.

"Okay, I'll take you there." Carrie said, and began to float quickly.

"Wait a minute, why do you have to go through this way?" Leya asked. She remembered seeing a downward staircase, but she had never been there.

"Because it is impossible to enter with two feet." Fei replied this time, but when she was talking, she did not look at Leya. "That place is a maze. If you want to go in alone, no matter how you turn, you will turn back to the exit."

Although Fei said that, Leya didn't feel anything too complicated along the way. There were indeed intersections that looked very similar. The first intersection was right and the second intersection left. With just two turns, they arrived at the next floor.

The situation on the next floor was far less bad than expected. Leya originally thought she would see a dungeon, but in fact she saw a whole row of dormitories. There was a room outside with the door open, and the room could be seen spacious and bright, with all kinds of basic furniture.

"Why are there such a place?" Leya asked.

"The design itself has to consider this need," Carrie replied. "After all, this is a castle where the lord lives. Seeing that the room in front does not exist, the self-harm girl is there."

At this time, Leya and Fei had been put down. Leya walked over and immediately found that the door of the room was closed from the outside. It was a lock with a simple structure but could not be opened from the inside. In fact, this was like a prison cell.

"Please don't open it, her mood is very unstable and I don't know what will happen." Carrie reminded.

Leya hesitated for a moment, but finally opened the door with great force.

In the room was a girl with disheveled hair, with her hair as light golden as Leya. She was not old, about one or two years older than Leya, but her eyes were filled with a kind of confusing madness. The girl was not wearing shackles on her hands and feet, but there was a brass collar on her neck - that was the proof of slaves.

In the human world, slaves are already rare, but they do not mean they are gone. War, crime, politics/struggle will also produce a small number of slaves, which are generally owned by the state. However, some nobles also own private slaves.

The girl stared at the person who opened the door, and the madness in her eyes faded away little by little. "Leya?" she said softly, as if she was worried that she had recognized the wrong person. But immediately she confirmed that she was not wrong. "Leya? Why are you?" she asked loudly.

Leya recognized the voice. She had heard the voice and maybe even spoke to her when she was sent over with other girls. But her eyes were still invisible, so this was the first time she saw the other person. And she didn't remember the other person's name anymore.

"It's really you?" The girl walked towards the door. When she reached the door, she saw Fei wearing blood-red armor.

"Is it you?" Her expression became very complicated. "Are you coming to kill me? Do the vampire want to eat me?" Her voice became sharp. "You vampire lackey..."

"Wait a minute!" Leya stepped forward and hugged the other person. "Don't be afraid, no one will hurt you. Don't be afraid. The vampire will not come back if he leaves."

The other party was shocked, and suddenly, she began to cry. Although she should be older than Leya, she snuggled in Leya's arms and cried at this moment.

Leya helped her out of the room. "Carrie, can you open all the rooms?"

The metal ball floated all the way. Although it had no hands, it could freely manipulate the strange stickiness, so it was convenient to open the door. Soon, everyone walked out of the room. They gathered together, but didn't know what was going on. But everyone knew that Fei was a vampire servant, so they all cowarded and gathered at a far distance from Fei.

"Everyone." Lea stood in front of everyone, plucked up the courage, and said loudly. "I have something to tell everyone."

This was the first time she did such a thing. She felt her feet trembling clearly, and Fei was looking at her from behind coldly.

"I know everyone is scared, afraid that they will not know when they will be taken away by vampires. But if everyone wants to leave here alive, there is a chance, the only chance." She looked at everyone. "The vampires want a group of maids to clean the castle. If everyone accepts this job, at least we will be of some use to him. They will not be like this, and they will be sucked by him at any time."

She knew she was lying, but her face did not feel ashamed or hot because of lying. She only felt sweating from the tension on her back.

"Vampires are not interested in girls over seventeen years old. If we can be more useful, we can hold on for a few years and leave here alive." She remembers such rumors, and it is precisely because of such rumors that they were given to vampires.
