#219 - Section 219
The warm breath brushed against Belle's ear, instantly turning it red, the blush spreading down her neck.
Belle turned her head, their faces inches apart, she could even feel Rhode's breath.
Rhode's eyes were filled with desire, while Belle's held a hint of panic and anticipation.
"Put your hair up."
"The, the rain is stopping soon, I need to go home."
Belle's voice was dry and awkward, but she half-heartedly allowed the large hands to do as they pleased.
She felt as if she had lost all strength, unable to resist.
After a moment, Belle resignedly began to slowly put her hair up, glancing at Rhode with a charming look before starting her 'meal'.
Outside the castle, the storm raged.
Inside the castle, the solid wood table creaked as if it were about to fall apart.
An hour later, the storm subsided.
The noise inside the castle gradually disappeared as well.
Rhode held the sleeping Belle in his arms and placed her on a clean, large bed.
He looked at the woman with a contented expression, covered her with a blanket, and turned to leave.
"That's not very noble of you."
Just as he walked out of the door, the Beast's deep voice came from beside him.
"You can talk?"
Rhode glanced at the Beast, his eyes showing some surprise, then said in a nonchalant tone.
"I thought you were mute."
"What? Jealous?"
Rhode's lips curled slightly, looking at the Beast with interest.
He had probably already guessed that this woman named Belle was the key to helping this Beast Baron resolve the curse on his body, as told in the story of Beauty and the Beast.
Although these two people had never met, it was inevitable that they might fall in love at first sight under the pull of the story's plotline.
Upon hearing this, the Beast looked puzzled and said.
"Why would I be jealous?"
It looked at Rhode with a bewildered expression, snorted softly, and turned to leave.
Rhode raised an eyebrow slightly at this. From the Beast's expression and reaction, he could tell that this guy really wasn't jealous.
That was strange.
Could it be that his appearance had affected the original story's development?
Rhode shook his head, too lazy to think more about it. After all, in his opinion, it didn't matter whether it affected the story's development or not.
Anyway, in his eyes, Belle was already his new toy.
Did it matter what the Beast thought?
He could only endure it even if he had objections.
A servant had no right to resist.
Rhode followed the Beast to a room.
The Beast opened the door, and Rhode curiously glanced inside.
He saw red curtains swaying gently in the breeze, and the decorations were full of feminine style.
The floor was clean and tidy, and a broom was sweeping the room in an orderly manner. It was clear that this place was inhabited.
Hearing Rhode's movement behind him, the Beast turned to look at Rhode, frowning and saying in an unfriendly tone.
"What are you doing here?"
Rhode said frankly.
"I want to ask you something."
Then, he looked into the room and asked with confusion.
"Is this your mother's room?"
Hearing this, the Beast narrowed his eyes, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes, and he growled in a low voice.
"This is my room!"
He didn't expect this rough Beast to have the heart of a mature woman.
Rhode shook his head and walked into the room.
Seeing this, the Beast frowned even more, his face clearly showing displeasure.
But thinking about his current status as this guy's servant, he could only endure the discomfort in his heart and dare not easily act out.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Rhode didn't speak, but instead carefully looked around the room.
He saw many dresses neatly hung on the hangers, jewelry and hair accessories arranged in an orderly manner in the drawers, and a delicate mirror for makeup. Obviously, these were all women's items.
Moreover, these items were so well preserved, they must be things left behind by the Beast's wife after her death as a memento.
He didn't expect this guy to be so devoted.
He was much better than those lewd nobles he had seen before.
Rhode looked at a hanging painting on the wall, which depicted an elegant and haughty woman.
Although it was just an oil painting, it could make people truly feel that amazing beauty.
Rhode turned his head in surprise and looked at the Beast, asking.
"Is this your wife?"
The Beast was silent for a moment, finally unable to hold back his emotions and roared in a low voice.
"This is my portrait!"
"Your portrait?"
Rhode's eyes widened, and he looked at the portrait again in disbelief.
In the painting was a female noble in a red dress, her face as delicate as a sculpture, her skin as white as snow, exuding a noble luster.
Her long black hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, shimmering with a charming light.
Her eyebrows were slender and beautiful, like two curved willow leaves, and the slightly upturned corners of her eyes carried a natural arrogance and charm.
Beneath her straight nose, her delicate red lips were slightly raised, as if smiling, exuding an irresistible charm.
Her figure was even more perfect, her full breasts bulging under the red dress, her slender waist was so small that it seemed as if it could be grasped with one hand, and her slender, straight legs were faintly visible under the skirt, adding a bit of mysterious temptation.
Every gesture revealed an elegant temperament, as if the whole world was at her feet.
Rhode looked at the Beast with an incredulous expression.
The portrait above was actually this Beast?
No, no, something must be wrong.
As he spoke, he rubbed his temples, trying to sort out his chaotic thoughts.
He reached out and interrupted the Beast's angry growl, and asked again in disbelief.
"Is this really you?"
The Beast didn't speak, just snorted coldly and said coldly.
"Leave my room!"
Rhode gave her a strange look, turned and left the bedroom with a heart full of doubts.
If this woman was really what the Beast originally looked like, wouldn't the story of Beauty and the Beast be a mess?
The Beast was a beautiful woman, then she met a beautiful girl, and the two women fell in love and lifted the curse on her body.
A beautiful love story instantly turned into a lesbian story.
"It's a bit of a mess."
Rhode's mind was in a state of chaos. The development of this story's plot was a bit unscientific.
Although he felt that the development of this story was not quite right, it seemed to be good.
A beautiful baron was much more pleasing to the eye than a rough man.
What's more, this woman had now become his servant.
A female noble in a maid outfit, just thinking about that scene was quite exciting.
But the premise was that this woman had to break the curse and turn back into a human.
He had no interest in the Beast. Thinking of this, Rhode couldn't help but have a headache.
The easiest way to break the curse was to communicate deeply, but facing the appearance of a beast, it was really difficult for him to bring himself to do it.
If the curse was allowed to break itself, the process would be too slow. He had to think of a way.
Rhode shook his head, putting this troublesome matter behind him. The most important thing now was to move the castle.
Rhode cast a spell to put all the furniture and the Beast into a coma.
Then, he used the power of the earth to slowly lift the entire castle.
The Yama Sword appeared in his hand, and with a single slash, the land connected to the bottom of the castle was instantly severed.
With a thought, he took the entire castle into his personal space.
Rhode spread his wings and disappeared directly into the sky.
Not long after Rhode disappeared, a mighty team of knights appeared around the castle.
The leading knight captain frowned as he looked at the empty ground in front of him and turned to ask the knight next to him.
"Where is the castle you spoke of?"
The knight looked blank and stuttered.
"It was clearly here before!"
He had indeed been here before and accidentally discovered a castle.
Inside the castle were various precious gems and treasures, but hidden inside was a terrifying beast. He was so frightened that he ran back in a panic to report.
Bringing these knights here was to snatch the treasure.
But now, such a large castle had disappeared out of thin air.
The knight captain snorted coldly and kicked the knight to the ground.
"You dare to lie to me!"
The knight wanted to explain, but the knight captain had already raised his sword and killed him.
The knight captain looked at the knights around him, who were as quiet as cicadas in winter and dared not resist, and snorted coldly.
"This guy must be from Verly. He tricked us here because he didn't want us to find Miss Belle."
He liked Belle. Everyone in the barony knew that.
Belle was missing, and he brought people to search for her. At the same time, another knight captain, who was also his nemesis, Verly, was also searching.
The baron promised to marry his daughter to whoever found her first.
