Lilly took a step forward and opened the curtain...
Pablo, looking up at the ceiling of the cave, heard the sound of the curtain and warned, "Lilly, don't touch it. The restraint can harm people, it will..."
"Huh?"
Pablo turned his head to look, only to realize that Lilly had vanished!
His words trailed off, and his heart tightened.
"Lilly!"
The cowardly ghost stood before the bead curtain, his expression filled with surprise.
"Master Belmont, Lilly has entered," the timid ghost murmured.
Pablo's immediate response was, "That's impossible! Any restriction would have a backlash, unless..."
In that moment, he froze.
Unless... this restriction recognizes her.
Could it be that...
Impossible...
…
As Lilly opened the bead curtain, her surroundings blurred, and she found herself standing inside the room!
She paused for a moment.
Didn't Master say that restraints would harm people?
Hmm? Is this restraint harmless?
Lilly glanced back instinctively and saw what was happening outside the room.
Master and Michael are talking.
Feeling reassured, Lilly turned her attention back to the room.
"Wow... Master, this room is so pretty," Lilly exclaimed.
Lilly stood in awe of the grandeur and beauty of the room. In the center, there was a pavilion-like structure that served as a bed. The "gazebo" had no roof but was adorned with pink and white gauze curtains that fluttered delicately in the breeze.
Within the palace, there was also a flowering tree. Lilly had encountered it before, both inside and outside the cave. The ethereal palace added a touch of enchantment to the surroundings.
Arrangements were made around the flower tree, including a bath with a shimmering aura floating above it. Tables were set up for tea, and soft chairs, resembling clouds, were placed on the other side. Lilly even felt a strange familiarity with the cloud-like sofa, as if she had sat on it before, and she could almost imagine its softness and texture.
Shaking her head to clear her mind, Lilly shifted her attention to the rest of the room.
A dressing table stood between the bed curtains and the flower tree, adorned with various items. Neat rows of jewelry were displayed, exuding an air of luxury and elegance, yet maintaining a subtle and royal style. Numerous drawers lined the dresser, catching Lilly's gaze.
"Messing with someone else's belongings without their permission is bad," Lilly muttered, her conscience reminding her of the impropriety of her actions. "I'm sorry, pretty girl... I'm sorry for messing with your belongings."
Despite her words, Lilly's hands continued to explore the drawers. She understood that what she was doing was wrong, akin to stealing. However, her father lay unconscious outside, and in a desperate situation, she felt compelled to borrow these items for a moment.
