"Miss, please don't run away anymore," Julie begged with tears streaming down her face, "The master said that every time you run, he will kill someone. Beck was beaten to death yesterday, right by the door, his blood spilled all over..." Julie cried pitifully, like a pear blossom bathed in rain.
Even beautiful women, when they cry, it tugs at one's heartstrings.
A sharp pain pierced Qiao Xia's ears. Did that boy die last night?
Because of her escape?
Why?
"Miss, please save me, I don't want to die," Julie sobbed, "I was sold to the castle when I was fourteen, and I save money every day to leave. I still want to try to make money, to live, I don't want to die, Miss, please save me."
Qiao Xia laughed coldly, "The one you should be asking for help is your master, not me, I'm a prisoner too."
Why was she caught and not allowed to run away? If she did, Nikola would kill someone. Was he a homicidal maniac?
