　　"Sorry." Lin Yuxing didn't expect to get this answer, and immediately looked at the housekeeper guiltily.

　　Bertram's hand stroking the rose paused, "Why do you want to apologize, madam?"

　　"It's not your fault."

　　His expression was dull, as if he was remembering unpleasant memories.

　　Lin Yuxing didn't dare to say anything anymore, so she could only follow him cautiously, glancing at the butler's face secretly with his eyes, like a child who made a mistake.

　　Any expression on the face is clearly visible, just like a piece of white paper, waiting for anyone to smear it on.

　　Bertram cut off the rose with a click, his eyes inexplicable, "Madam, do you know the meaning of white roses?"

　　What is the meaning of white roses?

　　Lin Yuxing didn't expect that he would suddenly ask questions and turned his head to look. The housekeeper was looking at the sea of white roses in trance, and upon closer inspection, his expression seemed a little sarcastic.

　　Lin Yuxing blinked and looked again. The butler behaved elegantly and looked calm. It seemed like it was just an illusion.

　　Did you see it wrong?

　　He was confused and read the answer given by 008.

　　"The flowers of the white rose are snow-white, just like a simple girl who is not familiar with the world, so it symbolizes purity, innocence, and sanctity." ①

　　"At the same time, it symbolizes simple, innocent, and flawless first love." ①

　　Lin Yuxing paused suddenly, realizing that something was wrong, Pondering over the words in his mouth.

　　Bertram over there chuckled, his voice was gorgeous and elegant, more like a nobleman than the butler of the castle.

　　"Is it pure and innocent first love? Madam is right."

　　Bertram pruned the white roses slowly, and each rose passed through his hands and became a perfect work of art -

　　and those that were not perfect were discarded.

　　Lin Yuxing looked at the abandoned rose and felt inexplicably sad. He found an excuse and hurried back to the castle.

　　He didn't notice that the butler behind him raised his head and stared at his back.

　　A long while.

　　Bertram looked at the rose on his fingertips and said with regret, "What a pity, such a beautiful rose."

　　Lin Yuxing walked towards the castle.

　　He hadn't figured out the situation in the castle yet, so he didn't want to go to a place with many servants first, so he went straight upstairs.

　　This castle covers a large area, and there are basically no servants from the third floor onwards. The top floor is a small attic, locked by an ornate iron door with carved railings.

　　Lin Yuxing tried to push it, but it couldn't be opened. Instead, his white fingertips were stained with a layer of dust.

　　[It seems that no one has been here for a long time, but there is still such a place in the castle. 】
