Jueye is the daughter of a declining powerful family. However, the powerful person who supported the family died at the hands of a being named Sero. In order to maintain their status and aristocratic status, the family sent her to the palace to become a maid.

, studying with the young King of Snakes, and at the same time serving as a sounding board to connect the inside and outside of China Unicom.

Although the King of Snakes has long since fallen, and now it is the Archons who hold power, at least in the eyes of the nobles, the King is still noble.

Even these old nobles still hope that the king can return to power and lead them to rise again.

The family hopes that Jue Ye can become the lover of the King of Snakes, but Jue Ye doesn't seem to want this.

She didn't hate the young and handsome King of Snakes, but she did hate the feeling of being arranged, or the identity of her lover.

She spent a period of time in the palace with such complicated emotions.

She shuttles through the palace every day, occasionally coming to the palace wall and peeking outside from a high place.

But it wasn't until recently that she suddenly felt something was wrong.

On top of the palace wall.

Jueye pointed to the river and boats in the distance and asked his companions: "Did you see it?"

The companion didn't know: "What did you see?"

Jueye was very strange: "Didn't you see that the river outside is motionless most of the time? How can the water not move? And those boats are also very strange. They are always parked there. They only come in the evening every day.

It moved for a while, then stopped again after a while.”

The companion didn't know how to answer: "Oh, it seems so."

Jueye asked: "Don't you think it's strange?"

The companion just asked: "You have never asked these questions before?"

Jue Ye said: "Didn't I just discover it recently?"

Seeing that it was getting dark, the companion immediately pulled Jue Ye down.

"Hurry up, we're going to start serving dinner to the king."

This was Jueye's daily task. Jueye walked down the city wall full of doubts, but still prepared the dinner as the other party said. In fact, she was not the one to prepare it. She just delivered the dinner to the king on time.

After getting the dinner, she was still thinking about what happened before.

Normally, she would take the shortest path, but today she took another path in a daze.

There was some noise at the palace gate. There seemed to be a group of people asking to see the King of Snakes, but they were stopped by the soldiers outside the gate. These soldiers were arranged by the ruling office.

"Let us in."

"How can you prevent us from meeting His Majesty? This is betrayal. Are you still the King's subjects?"

"The king of snakes is the master of this country."

Jueye raised his head and looked at those people curiously.

However, when he saw those people, his pupils were shocked.

Because, she found that these people had no faces.

And some people can only see the side face. When he turns over, the other side of his face is also blank.

These people with no faces or only half faces were talking mechanically and swinging their arms, and the guards were also blocking them with stiff movements, as if they were playing a puppet show.

"ah?"

In an instant, the food box and silver plate in Jue Ye's hand fell down with a scream.

This immediately attracted the attention of those people, causing everyone to look at Jue Ye at the same time.

Faceless and soulless eyes looked at Jue Ye, which frightened Jue Ye.

Jue Ye even heard their whispers.

"Why are you here?"

"It shouldn't be here."

"Why are you here?"

"..."

It seemed that everyone was very surprised.

It seems that he is surprised that a character who does not belong to this scene has appeared on this stage.

Jue Ye was so frightened that he ran away like crazy and ran back quickly.

She ran back tremblingly, told her companions who were already standing at the door of the palace what she had just seen, and recounted her experience in shock.

"I just...I just saw..."

"On the other side of the palace gate, the people there have no faces, or only have half a face..."

"me……"

But her companion nodded indifferently and just told her.

"We should go in, we can't let the king wait for us."

After listening, Jue Ye could only close his mouth.

But the things in her hands had been knocked over, so she panicked and walked inside empty-handed.

While she was thinking about what had just happened, she wondered whether she would be punished later.

However, when she entered, she saw her fellow maid placing something on an empty seat on the long table, then saluting respectfully and addressing the other person respectfully.

After seeing that she was a little slower, she shouted to Jue Ye.

"Hurry up, Jue Ye."

"Bring over what you are holding, hurry up!"

Standing in front of the empty long table, Jue Ye felt creepy and his body was so cold that he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

The other party seemed unable to see that the seat was empty, as if there was someone sitting in the invisible air.

The other party also seemed unable to see that Jue Ye's hands were empty, and it seemed that in the other's eyes she was still holding the food box.

She looked at her companion and asked, "Where is the king?"

But the companion replied: "Where is the king?"

But looking in the direction the other party said, Jue Ye couldn't see anything.

She didn't understand whether she was crazy or the companion in front of her was crazy.

At night, Jue Ye turned over and over thinking.

"Why, why is it so strange?"

"Why do those people have no face?"

"king!"

"By the way, why is the king missing? Why can't I see the king?"

"Hey, what does Wang look like? He seems very good-looking, but why is he so good-looking?"

She came here when she was still young, so she should be very familiar with Wang's life.

But why did she feel like she had never met Wang before and couldn't even remember his appearance?

Jue Ye rolled over and got up, becoming even more panicked.

“So, it’s not that there’s a problem now, but there was a problem a long, long time ago?”

"Why?"

"Why didn't I notice it before?"

the next day.

Jue Ye decided to find the King of Snakes.

Jue Yeman searched everywhere in the palace, but still could not find the king. At the same time, he also discovered more strange things.

She saw that many of the books on the bookshelves had no words. She saw that when the door of some hidden rooms was opened, there was a wall inside. She also followed a person who came to visit, but she found that the person walked out of the palace.

The door disappeared into the air.

She determined that the king might not be in the palace, and he might have escaped.

The missing king, a strange world, no people with mechanical and stiff faces.

She felt.

Perhaps Wang was also a person who discovered that all this was abnormal like her, so he ran away.

If you leave here or find the king, will you know the secret behind everything?

Next.

Jueye mustered up her courage and prepared to rush out of the palace gate, but when she left, she was stopped by the guards at the palace gate.
