Chapter 42 Nightmare and Abandonment

It was night, and Safi lay in bed and fell into boundless dreams.

She seems to have returned to the month when she was lost again, she carefully shrank herself in a corner, trying hard to open the lock in her hand for practice.

Can't open, can't open, can't open!

The thin wire in her hand seemed to be against her. She couldn't find the keyhole to open the lock, but the time was coming. If she didn't open the lock within the stipulated time, she would not only face beating today, but also Haven't eaten all day.

Safi was very anxious, but her childhood education told her that the more anxious she was, the more calm she had to be, because panic would only lead to self-destruction, so she forced herself to focus on the work in hand.

Sweat kept dripping from the corner of her forehead, but Safi remained focused. She had no choice but to fight for survival.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and when it was almost time, there was a "click" in the hand, which meant that the lock was opened!
Safi showed a relieved smile, which was proof that she could pass the day without disaster or pain.

Immediately, the environment around her changed rapidly, the originally dark and lightless cage suddenly lit up, and she also grew from an eight or nine-year-old child to an adult in an instant.

The only thing that remains the same is that she still holds a bunch of locks and a wire in her hands.

She realized something, turned around in a panic, and desperately hid the things in her hands behind her back.

"Father, mother..." She pursed her lips, with fear and fear in her eyes, she called out the names of the two people in front of her tremblingly, and couldn't help but back away.

The prime minister and the prime minister's wife looked at their daughter in disbelief. The prime minister's wife was shaken by the shock her daughter brought her, and could only lean weakly on her husband.

Safi wanted to explain, but just as she took a step forward, she heard the prime minister's wife screaming: "Don't come here, you demon!"

Safi's heart ached and she stood there at a loss. She wanted to explain, but she didn't know what she could explain, so she opened her mouth in vain, and squeezed out a moan from her throat.

The parents in front of her eyes were covered by the sudden thick fog. Safi was at a loss and chased forward a few steps, trying to keep her parents behind, but when she arrived at the place where her parents were standing just now, she found that there was nothing there. There was no one, no one at all. When she didn't know what to do, a voice called from behind: "Safi."

This voice... She turned around abruptly, and met a pair of ice-cold eyes.

"Your Highness..." she murmured, but her heart was extraordinarily calm, because she had already expected this to happen, but why, her chest still hurt so much, that she couldn't even breathe?
Is it because she is still wishing and fantasizing about being loved by His Royal Highness Fred?How could she be so blind to reality?

The eyes that have always been looking at Safi with a smile are like ice at this moment, indifferent and without the slightest emotion, which makes Safi's heart slowly, slowly, sink into the endless cold pool.

"I didn't expect you to be such a person." Every word Fred said was like a sharp knife, piercing her chest ruthlessly, piercing her heart full of holes. You have been your fiancée for ten years, are you humiliating me?"

"I didn't," Safi wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to explain, she lowered her head dejectedly, all thoughts were lost, "Forget it, Your Highness, it's all my fault, please break the engagement with Your Highness."

"Oh," Fred sneered, "Is that all? Shouldn't the prime minister's goddaughter Wufang give me an explanation?" He was furious, "It's a felony to deceive the royal family!"

This is what Safi is most afraid of happening. She is fine in whatever she wants, but her parents must not be involved. She knows how much her father has devoted so much for the kingdom. How can she let her father's efforts be destroyed?
She knelt down without hesitation, and wanted to beg Fred not to treat her father like this. She could bear all the punishment and all the blame alone, and her parents had done nothing wrong.

When she knelt down, the scene around her changed again, something hit her body, she looked down, it was a stone, and then, countless sundries hit her body overwhelmingly.

Safi raised her eyes and saw countless civilians surrounding her, all holding sundries in their hands, seeing her raised her head, someone shouted: "Demons, get out, get out of our country! "

"Get out!"

"Yes, get out!"

The cursing became louder and louder, one wave after another, accompanied by physical pain, Safi knelt there and crumbled.

She lowered her head and knelt there without saying a word, but she heard someone say: "If you raise a daughter like this, the prime minister must be a running dog of the demon clan, so you can't let him go!"

Such an illogical speech was echoed by hundreds of thousands of people, Safi raised her head in horror and screamed: "No—"

After all, her wailing was overwhelmed by the excited civilians. They didn't care about the truth at all, they just needed an outlet for their emotions.

Safi woke up from the heavy nightmare, her back was covered with cold sweat, she didn't disturb the maid, but sat up by herself, rubbing her chest and panting heavily.

Fred pushed her again and again and finally pushed her over the line.

She looked out the window at the sky that hadn't even brightened yet, and wept silently.

Everything in the dream is a reflection of her heart, but who can guarantee that all this will never happen?All she could do was cut off the possibility of these things happening.

It was time to leave, and she couldn't procrastinate any longer. When she helped His Highness settle the matter of the abandoned avenue, she would find an excuse to terminate the engagement, stay away from the capital, and never come back again.

This way, the parents are no longer involved.

In this way, there is no need to worry about being rejected by His Highness.

In this way, her conscience will probably be a little more stable.

Safi sat all night until dawn. When she heard footsteps in the corridor, she slid into bed and pretended to be asleep. When the maid knocked on the door, she pretended to just wake up and sat down. Get up: "Come in."

The maid came in to wash and dress her.

"Miss doesn't seem to be in a good mood?" A maid asked casually, "Did you not have a good rest last night?"

"No," Safi said indifferently, "Did Mom and Dad get up?"

She couldn't help asking about her parents, the nightmare gave her too much fear, and she wanted to make sure that her parents were still safe and sound by her side.

"It should be. Master and Madam both get up at this time." The maid was not sure, "I'll ask you about the others?"

"No need," Safi shook his head, "Prepare the pen and ink, I want to write something for His Royal Highness Fred."
