After Mi Jin Niang got out of the oil painting, she didn't sit down. Instead, she held the chair closest to the oil painting with her hand and almost squatted on the ground. She leaned against the back of the chair to cover her whole body.
Not only that, from the exposed black hair, the Mystic Gold Lady seemed to be … trembling?
Angor was a little confused, but he did not know what was going on. "You're the Mystic Lady?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mi Jin Niang suddenly screamed and flew out from behind the chair.
Angor instinctively raised his guard, but what the Mystic Lady did next stunned him. Instead of attacking him, the Mystic Lady jumped into the air and circled around like a headless fly. In the end, she hid behind the crystal chandelier and shivered.
Angor did not know what to say.
Angor did not know what was going on. He should be the one feeling nervous. Why was the Mystic Lady acting worse than him? Moreover, the Mystic Gold Lady not only looked nervous, but also a little scared and evasive.
Angor's head was full of question marks. Did they just flip their roles?
Seeing Angor's frown, the Mad Scientist spoke up, "Mister Shava, please forgive the Mystic Lady's rudeness."
Angor looked away from the chandelier and looked at the book floating on the table.
"She didn't mean it. She's just …" The Mad Scientist paused.
The Mad Scientist's tone was exactly the same as what happened outside the castle. It seemed the Mad Scientist could not bring himself to finish the sentence.
Angor did not know how to react. He kept calm and picked up a knife on the table and played with it casually. Then, he said softly, "I thought that since you've prepared a banquet, you should be fully prepared. But … "
Angor did not finish his words so that the Mad Scientist and the Mystic Lady could fill in the blanks.
Angor did not know what Mad Man was thinking, but his eyes kept changing. In the end, he made up his mind and said, "Myrtle didn't do it on purpose. She was just … a little shy, that's all."
Shy?
Angor was puzzled. He thought there would be something more to the answer, but the answer was "shyness".
Angor did not believe it at all. According to Leavis, the Mystic Lady was a terrifying madwoman. According to Reeves' description, this kind of horror was cold-blooded, cruel, and completely different from the dark values. Because of this, Angor had always been on high alert after entering the castle, because he knew he was about to face a terrifying madman.
Angor didn't believe it at all when Mad Scientist told him that Mystic Lady was shy.
Angor did not know what to say. He did not know whether to nod or shake his head. In the end, he could only smile and remain silent.
On the other hand, since the Mad Scientist had already revealed the truth of Mi Jin Niang's "shyness", he no longer hid it and continued, "Because of this, even though Mi Jin Niang wanted to personally host the welcoming banquet, she was too embarrassed to face Her Excellency Shava. In the end, she placed me on the table and had me replace her to welcome Her Excellency Shava."
"But Myrtle really wanted to meet Her Excellency Shava. That's why she hid in the painting …"
The madman sounded sincere, but Angor still didn't believe him.
"I see." Angor was enlightened. He did not want to expose the Mad Scientist's lie, so he decided to give the Mad Scientist a way out.
Angor looked at the Mystic Lady on the chandelier. "Being shy isn't a bad thing. It's kind of cute."
The mystic lady hiding on the chandelier muttered in a low voice, "Cute? "Cute? Really?"
Angor did not express his thoughts, but he still smiled and nodded. "Of course."
Angor did not want to continue the topic. Instead, he changed the topic. "By the way, I want to see you and ask you some questions. How about you come down and talk? "
The Mystic Lady hesitated for a long time before she slowly floated down from the chandelier.
However, Myrtle still looked uneasy when she landed on the ground. She chose to sit on a seat further away from Angor and extinguished the candlestick in front of her. Only a vague outline of her figure could be seen. It seemed that covering her face with her hair was not enough. She had to be completely immersed in the darkness to give her a sense of security.
Angor did not say anything. This was the Mystic Lady's territory. If she wanted to put on a show, so be it.
When the Mystic Lady sat down, Angor cleared his throat and tried to think of a way to ask her why she brought him to the spirit garden.
Before he could ask, the Mystic Lady's faint voice came from the darkness. "… Take a seat first."
Angor was surprised. It was not because of the content of the words. It was because the Mystic Lady's voice reminded him of the voice he heard when he first found the Transmission Mushroom.
He was almost certain that the woman who talked to the Mad Scientist and kept singing "Tearing Moonlight" was the Mystic Lady.
According to the Transmission Mushroom, the Mystic Lady was trying to express her guilt by singing "Tearing Moonlight". What was this guilt?
Angor did not care about it now. He only thought about it for a moment. Instead, he focused on the Mystic Lady's words.
Take a seat first?
Who did she mean? Was it the Mad Scientist?
The Mad Scientist suddenly spoke, "I almost forgot about it if the Mystic Lady didn't remind me. Esteemed Shava, your seat is right here."
The Mad Scientist pointed at the end of the long table, where the main seat was.
Angor squinted and looked at the Mystic Lady sitting in the guest seat. He realized something.
"Does it matter where I sit? Besides, I'm just a guest. " Angor was implying that Mystic Lady was sitting in the guest seat, so how could he, a guest, sit in the main seat?
The Mad Scientist quickly shook his head. "No, it's not like that. Mystic Lady prepared the banquet, but there are many guests here. Even Mister Nuka is here. We can't just sit like usual."
"According to the order of Moonlight's Favor, Shava should be sitting in the main seat. Otherwise, when Lord Nuka arrives and sees our rude arrangements, he will definitely fly into a rage. "
Angor sighed in his mind after hearing Madman's words.
His premonition was right.
He noticed that more than one table had food and tableware on it, so he paid more attention to it. When the Mystic Lady asked him to take the main seat, he immediately had a hunch that he and the Mystic Lady were not the only guests, right? As expected, the Mad Scientist immediately confirmed his premonition.
