Butterfly

Ran Xueyi stopped walking forward when she saw a figure blending in the darkness from the left corridor. It was the man from earlier, the Earl, who was spiraled in mystery. 

Because she was standing several steps away from and a full-face mask covered his face, she didn't know whether the man also saw her as he stood there for a long time. 

Ran Xueyi was the first to surrender and turned to continue her steps, sighing deeply. 

But as she was about to take a step forward, the figure in the darkness moved with grace like a falcon flying through sky with elegance. He was walking towards her. 

Of course, Ran Xueyi wouldn't delude herself into thinking that he was walking towards her, really. Maybe he was just on his way to the banquet hall where others guests were in, just like her. 

"Should we wait for him?" the maid's eyes were bright as she asked this. Obviously, she wanted to walk alongside that man.
