Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 2125

Baby Zetty was a little stunned. What on earth did she look like right now that the villagers did not even recognize her?

The man in a black wolf mask looked at Baby Zetty suspiciously. "Are you not from around here?"

Baby Zetty shrieked out inwardly.

It would not be good if the villagers recognized her as Boye's apprentice, but it would undoubtedly be even worse if the villagers could not recognize her at all.

After all, it was strange for an old foreign lady to appear at this sort of place.

Baby Zetty could only bite the bullet and spit out a lie a s she switched to an unrelated topic. "Have you people seen my granddaughter? She's tall, slender, and very pretty. One would even say that she's gentle and kind too... We live way over there...." She pointed toward the distant mountains with her finger.

The villagers showed a somewhat astonished expression.

Among the villagers, there was a child who looked about 15 to 16 years old. He looked relatively thin, yet his eyes were as dark as the night sky. He was looking at Baby Zetty with a bright gaze. When Baby Zetty was trying to sell her story, the boy's jewel-like eyes showed a somewhat invisible smile.

He suddenly stood up and walked up to Baby Zetty in a panic. He held onto her arm and said, "Granny, how did you even come down the mountain? Does Uncle know that you came here?" Baby Zetty was startled.

She could not recover her senses as she looked at the bright and handsome boy.

When did she have such a big grandson?

The boy pinched her arm and Baby Zetty quickly came back to her senses. She was suddenly huffing from anger and lifted her wooden stick in her hand to hit the boy while scolding him, "Where the hell have you been, Lil Lou? Granny has been looking for you for a long time! You ran away from home so long ago. Don't you know the way home?!"

The boy was actually a local and his mother had died giving birth to him, so he had been brought up by his father who was also from around here. It was said that his father was particularly scholarly, so the young man had received a proper education. Unfortunately, the boy's father passed away not too long ago.

The villagers did not suspect anything when the young man acknowledged Baby Zetty as his grandmother. After all, no one had ever seen the boy's mother's relatives.

When these masked men saw how old Baby Zetty was, coupled with the young man recognizing her as his relative, they no longer doubted that she was the Boyes' descendant.

Just like that, Baby Zetty was allowed to live in the concentration camp.

It was up until one day, the masked men brought a medical practitioner over to conduct physical examinations on everyone. Truthfully, it was to investigate whether or not these villagers were in disguise. Those who passed the examination would be released and could regain their freedom.

When it was Baby Zetty's turn, someone told the doctor, "This person is highly suspicious, so do a thorough examination."

The doctor used a prop to make a small cut on Baby Zetty's skin and saw a trace of blood oozing out. He said, "Well, she's not wearing a skin mask."

Then, he checked her bones' age and concluded, "The age of her bones is around 80 years old."

Baby Zetty felt as if she was about to faint.

"80 years old?"

She was merely a young 17-year-old girl at the prime of her youth, yet she had grown old to this extent. Baby Zetty felt that she was carrying a mountain on her shoulders, and she knew she had to find a way to restore her appearance as soon as possible. Otherwise, she not only faced the risk of getting killed by these people but there was also a chance for her to die of old age naturally. 1

Once the doctor came to this conclusion, the masked men who had been suspicious of Baby Zetty's identity were finally more relieved.

Since then, they were no longer as vigilant about her as well.

On a certain dark and windy night, Baby Zetty sneaked back into the castle's ruins when these masked men were not paying attention. She secretly extracted her precious books and the relics before deciding to leave Serpent Land that night.

Just as she was about to flee through the village's entrance, a hand was suddenly placed on her shoulder. Baby Zetty turned her head in surprise and saw her 'grandson' looking at her with a smile.
