Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 522 Reality is cruel
However, unlike the girl's beautiful fantasy, the reality is cruel. In just half a day, I taught her that it is impossible for a native chicken to become a phoenix even if it happens to fly on a branch.

Afterwards, the girl returned to the previous courtyard in a daze, she had no other place to go, she was His Highness's maid, even if she was told bluntly that staying with her would cause trouble, she could only come back here, Because she doesn't know anywhere else at all.

In this large royal palace, there are only two people she knows, that is, the prince and the queen, but the queen is always busy. When he went to find her last time, Asuo saw that there were as many documents piled up on her desk as a hill , there will be so much time to take care of her.

In this way, the girl huddled alone in a corner of the prince's residence, and stayed like this for dozens of days.During these days, she had thought about going to the queen countless times to explain to the Queen that she should just quit the job. This kind of magnificent palace is really not suitable for a countryman like her to live in. The place she should stay most is the one in the small town. Some airy cabins.

It's just that maybe because it's different from the hustle and bustle of other places in the palace, this courtyard of the prince is very quiet. In a few days, except for the herald who came to inform His Highness to attend the dinner, almost no one visited here.

And His Royal Highness doesn't always stay here.In the past few days, Asuo was finally able to take a good look at the prince.Anyway, she had nothing else to do. In order not to disturb him, Asuo always hid behind the window or the door, secretly watching the figure outside through a small gap.

Over the past few days, Asuo found that the prince's life was very regular.

I get up before dawn every morning, wash up and eat breakfast, and then start practicing swordsmanship in the yard until the afternoon, and then sometimes go out for a while, sometimes not.

When not going out, the prince can just practice swordsmanship for a whole day.There are no breaks in between.Witnessing this incident with her own eyes made Asuo feel extremely shocked. She didn't understand why the prince could do that, uninterruptedly, repeating that movement of swinging the sword thousands of times throughout the day.

The skin on his palm was worn out countless times, and blood oozes out wantonly, staining the hilt of the wooden sword red, but even so, the young man did not stop, and kept waving the wounded palm Hit the air.Seeing Asuo was a little terrified.

Even a prince is just a nine-year-old boy. Why is he able to work so hard when other people of his age are playing outside? Repeat that action over and over again?
What is supporting him?
Gradually, Asuo began to worry, and every time she saw the figure outside the window who was tired and about to collapse, she always prayed in her heart.

But instead of praying for him to persevere, he prayed that he would faint quickly so that he could rush out to bandage his tragic wound.

It's just that she can't wait for such an opportunity. The blood power of the blood clan is not just for fun. As long as the blood clan people are willing to squeeze their potential, then as long as the blood is exhausted, they will never fall down.Of course, this state requires a lot of perseverance, which is not something ordinary people can do.

After a few days, Asuo didn't speak a word to the prince, and even kept hiding carefully, without letting him discover his existence.Of course, this is just her own opinion.

There is a special kitchen in the prince's courtyard, but the kitchen utensils inside are quite advanced magic props, and Asuo can't use them at all.Fortunately, when the prince went out to eat every day, he always brought an extra copy back when he came back, and then stored it in a box in the kitchen that had been cast with a permanent ice spell.

Asuo knew that it was for him. Although the prince couldn't see her figure, he obviously knew that she was here.

At the beginning, Asuo was embarrassed to take the food. After all, as a maid, not only could he not do anything, but he could only eat and drink for nothing.

But His Highness didn't seem to care about her attitude, even though the ice box was full of food, he would still bring back a fixed portion of food for each meal.The extra food was placed outside the box, and then continued to practice swords, as if he didn't care about things here at all.

Asbiro's climate is warm and humid, and food exposed to the outside will quickly rot under such conditions.Asuo, who was hungry, naturally couldn't watch the food go bad.Finally started to tackle the food inside.

His Highness has never forgotten her, and will bring her back food specially.This incident cheered up Asuo's heart, and his heart, which had been aching, didn't hurt so much anymore, on the contrary, it was still warm.

When there is only one other person in a person's life, there is no doubt that the attention will be unconsciously focused on him.

As time went by, Ah Suo began to be dissatisfied with this state of secretly observing.She wanted to get in touch with the boy, and wanted to talk to him, even if it was just a few words.

Although she had been told that following him would cause him trouble, after this period of time, Ah Suo felt that maybe this was not the case.

Because what she saw was that the prince, like her, was living alone.

Of course, he is much better than himself, with a mother who loves him, and he is a prince, no one dares to bully him.But...after all, I'm lonely...

Asuo had thought many times that even if she was alone, a quiet place would be more suitable for her. In a sense, this was true.However, whenever the night is quiet, even she always wants to talk to someone, and wants to be accompanied by someone she can trust.

So, is the prince the same as her?Is there a time when you need to accompany...

Asuo didn't know, but since following him all the time would cause him trouble, wouldn't it be fine if he didn't follow him and only showed up when he needed it?

With such thoughts in mind, Asuo began to gradually walk out of the door, hiding behind the pillars, behind the escalator, and behind the stones, approaching the boy bit by bit.

However, she was always unable to overcome her psychological fear, and every time she mustered up the courage to speak to him, she flinched in the end.

Until one day, even Asuo herself didn't remember that this was the first few days since she came to the palace. On this day, she finally made up her mind to have a conversation.I even thought about what to say, probably thank you for the food these days, and Yunyun for causing him trouble.

It's just that the prince happened to be out that day, and after much hesitation, Asuo finally chose to follow him out of the courtyard.

It's a pity that the young man's footsteps are too fast, and it is impossible for Asuo, who has no cultivation base, to catch up. As soon as she left the gate, she could not see His Highness at all.

Asuo looked around, seeing that the surroundings were completely unfamiliar, she hurriedly took out the ring that the queen gave her.Just like a few days ago, Asuo followed the guidance of the ring to pursue it. Logically speaking, as long as she followed this path, she could find His Royal Highness, but this time she was not so lucky.

While on the road, although she had been careful, she was finally discovered.

Those who caught her were three boys, who were about the same age as His Highness, and Asuo immediately recognized that these people were the ones who greeted His Highness in the corridor a few days ago.

In other words... are they friends of His Highness?

"Hey, look, I caught an ugly monster, haha!"

"Wow, really, this is too ugly!"

"This is not an ugly monster, it is clearly a real monster!"

……

The three of you spoke without any scruples.

At this time, Asuo can truly realize that there is a big difference between nobles and nobles. Nobles like His Highness and Her Majesty the Queen will never say such things. They can maintain their demeanor towards everyone .However, like the three nobles in front of her, they only behave politely when facing other nobles. Once they face servants or servants, their true nature will be exposed immediately.

Asuo hurriedly struggled to escape, but the man kept grabbing her by the collar.

These people are awakened ones after all, and she can't break free with the strength of a little girl like her.And she can't take some aggressive actions such as biting, kicking, etc., otherwise if she hurts them, she will really be finished.Asuo still understood this.

So at this time, she could only endure in silence, hoping that these people would let her go if they felt bored.

"This curse is called 'remnant face', right? Hey, Musu, is it okay for you to hold her like this? It is rumored that people who encounter this curse will also be infected, and their hands will rot!"

"Hey? Really? It's disgusting!"

Hearing this, the man who grabbed Asuo's collar suddenly became disgusted and threw Asuo out.At the same time, he hurriedly shook his hand, as if he was about to shake off something dirty.

"what!"

Asuo was in pain from being thrown, and couldn't help screaming out.

The few people didn't care about this at all, and they all looked at Asuo with dissatisfaction at this time, and the boy in the head asked arrogantly: "Seeing that you are wearing a maid uniform, you should be a maid, hey, let me ask you, Which maid are you from?"

"Huh? I, I am..."

Asuo was stunned, and wanted to answer, but soon realized something, and hurriedly shut up.

"Hey, what can I ask you? Are you deaf?"

The boy asked several times, but Asuo still covered his mouth and refused to say anything, which immediately made the boy feel uncomfortable.

"I... I can't say..."

"You guy, you are obviously just a maid, yet you dare to disobey my words?"

"Snapped!"

The boy slapped the girl on the face. The strength of the awakened person is definitely not weak even for a child. With this slap, the girl's face turned red in an instant.
