Chapter 496 The Mysterious Housekeeper


    Sylvia''s POV:


    Although I didn''t quite understand the situation, I didn''t ask any questions. I just took note of what


    she said.

    "My name''s Nicole. I''m the housekeeper here. If you need anything, just knock on the door gently.


    There''s no need to shout."


    "Oh, okay..." I replied in a low voice and observed Nicole quietly, although I could only see her red


    eyes in the dark.


    It looked like Nicole didn''t mean to hurt me. She even talked to me with respect, as if she was


    entertaining a guest.


    "Actually, I''m a little hungry now. Is there anything I can eat?" I asked softly, trying to test her


    attitude.


    "Wait one moment."


    After saying that, Nicole disappeared behind the door and locked it. A few minutester, she came


    back and handed me a te.


    "Eat this first. Dinner will be ready shortly." As soon as I touched the edge of the te, Nicole


    withdrew her hands abruptly, as if she was afraid that I would touch her.


    I didn''t say anything. I just took the te. The food was still warm, and I could smell that it was fried


    steak.


    "Anything else?" Nicole asked politely.


    I hesitated for a moment. "Where is the other she-wolf who was with me?"


    "I don''t know. She is not a guest here and doesn''t deserve to step foot in this castle." Nicole grew


    serious. I could tell from her tone of voice that I shouldn''t ask any more questions.


    "Then..." Holding the te of warm steak, I hesitated.


    Nicole didn''t say a word. She waited patiently for me to continue.


    "Could you stay with me until I finish this steak? I''m not used to eating alone," I said matter-of-factly.


    Nicole fell silent, as though she was rendered speechless.


    But in the end, she stayed and apanied me.


    I sat on the floor face to face with her. She watched me eat, her unblinking red eyes staring straight


    at me.


    I didn''t mind. I took a bite of the steak and chewed it thoughtfully. In between mouthfuls, I would ask


    her some questions, trying to glean some information from her. "I get the feeling that this castle is


    huge. This room alone is too big for me."


    "Yes," Nicole replied perfunctorily.


    I sighed internally. She should''ve been called a "secret-keeper" instead of a housekeeper.


    "Does your master usually sleep for so long every day?" I ventured.


    "It depends."


    "Who else lives in this castle besides your master?"


    "You will find out at dinner."


    "I see..."


    "You''re done eating, right? I should go now." Nicole interrupted me and stood up, intending to leave.


    I put down the te and followed her. "I''m not used to this darkness. Can you turn on the light for


    me?"


    "I''m afraid no light is allowed to be turned on before eight o''clock in the evening," Nicole said without


    looking back.


    "Oh, I see," I stopped walking dejectedly.


    The door, which was about to be closed, stopped. In the darkness, I could tell that Nicole was deep


    in thought.


    "Wait a while. I''ll get you a candle and some matches," she finallypromised.


    "Thank you!" My eyes lit up happily.


    Vampires'' had exceptional night vision since they lived in darkness. But werewolves were different.


    We were blind without light.


    Soon, Nicole brought me a candle and a box of matches. "I''m making an exception for you. Please


    don''t make any trouble before dinner. Just stay here." "Okay!" I smiled at her sweetly.
