Victoria simply sat up straight, her tense brows and heartbeat beating, and her originally somewhat wandering thoughts became focused.

"and then……"

Caroline pushed up her glasses. The serious situation made her almost afraid to stop and report,

"The Red Moon Phantom Thief who likes to rob the nobles of the empire heard that he has joined Fenix's personal guard. Therefore, many refugees in the empire who have committed crimes have fled to Ibro. Now, if there are no reinforcements, at the border of the empire, Fenix Si’s army will completely occupy Ibrogo Province with overwhelming force.”

"Confederate forces are preparing to move in the northwest."

It's a tough battle, and the northwest is full of dangers.

"It's getting more and more difficult..."

Victoria let out a long sigh, looked gloomy, rubbed her head in annoyance, and asked,

"Have you found out the whereabouts of Grace?"

Caroline nodded, "Yes."

……

"Is it here?"

With the support of Nora, Grace stepped lightly on the beam of the carriage and got out of the car.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Nora responded and handed over the cane and umbrella used to relieve the pressure on her ankles.

Grace quietly took the cane, supported her body gracefully, and glanced across the wide square at the same time.

This is the place with the largest flow of people in the empire, Dapa Square on Pingmin Street.

It is better to say that the square is a large free trade market. A huge and carefully carved statue of the goddess is placed in the center of the square. The yellowish light under the night outlines the holy body of the statue.

Below this, Wells is praying with her hands clasped together, as if she is spreading her grace to every passerby.

At night, the civilians who trade dispersed, and the simple taverns with lights on the semicircular square became the most lively place.

The pungent smell of alcohol and the din of people drinking and drinking leaked from the light and shadow of the closed windows.

But there was only one store in particular that was strange.

The front door is lonely, with black cloth covering the glass of the display cabinet, the paint on the wooden door is peeling off, and the notice board hanging on the door is broken into two sections, and the handwriting is completely unclear. It is as weird as the residence of a witch. Therefore, drinkers rarely stop here.

really weird.

Grace couldn't help but take two steps closer to him.

Then the closed wooden door creaked, and a woman wearing a huge black cloak and veil pushed out of the door.

She held up a polished round crystal ball, and a clear and high-pitched female voice issued a warm invitation.

"Would you like to divine the future? The beautiful lady over there?"

Grace looked around. There were no other women around, so she was obviously talking to herself.

"Divining the future?"

The cloak shook slightly, and the woman seemed to be nodding.

"Yes, just place your palm on the crystal ball and that's it."

"No charge?"

The woman under the cloak smiled softly, and knocked on the door gently with her thin white hands, "Destined One, of course, there is no charge. If you don't believe it, you can come and try it first."

"Just put your hand on the crystal ball."

Of course Grace doesn't believe in fate, but she wants to understand the fantasy side of the world.

After all, there should be these in the magical world, right?

"can."

Grace rolled up her sleeves and slowly approached the slender fortune teller. As usual, she took off her black lace gloves and placed her white palms on the crystal ball.

The black brilliance floated, and the fortune teller lady pretended to be surprised and sighed,

"Ah, your Excellency seems to be dead, Miss Grace."

126.Wish

"Why do you want to go in and have a detailed chat?"

The fortune teller extended another cordial invitation.

Grace frowned warily.

What does Grace is dead mean?

How could she know her secret.

This fortune teller is not simple.

When people talk about unknowable secrets, they will subconsciously check whether there is someone behind them.

So did Grace, who looked back cautiously.

Under the yellowish street lights of the square with Nora, her eyes were full of confusion and shock, but she still stared at him without saying a word.

Grace slowly took out her hands, her calm voice blending into the cold winter wind,

"Miss Fortune Teller, you have recognized the wrong person, and why am I here even if I am dead? No need to joke anymore."

This world does have unnatural powers, and the facts seen by the fortune tellers are also true.

But now is not the time to observe the future, and Grace has no intention of getting started.

Miss Fortune Teller chuckled, "Sir, I will not expose your secrets. I am just waiting for the guidance of fate."

Her tone rose slightly, clearly seeing through Grace's deliberate disguise.

The woman wearing a black cloak in front of her clearly fit the stereotype of a fortune teller showing off in Grace's mind.

But unfortunately, Grace has never believed in fate in her life.

The fortune teller in front of her did not deceive anyone, so Grace just used an indifferent tone to distance herself.

"I don't believe in fate. I'm sorry, Miss Fortune Teller."

"is it?"

Even though Grace made remarks similar to rejection, Miss Fortune Teller did not feel any embarrassment.

On the contrary, she held the crystal ball in one hand, and the other hand was exposed from the wide sleeves of her robe, and she made several gestures with a bluish light group in the air.

The five-pointed star array shone brighter and brighter, and the clear voice of the fortune teller was penetrating, and the gods were talking like some kind of prophecy from the sky.

"The dazzling Southern Cross rises in the night, leading the heroic spirits to be born in the frozen land of glaciers. The guidance I hear, the holy words I feel, the future I foresee..."

Countless shining lights converged into one place like magic, wonderfully foreshadowing the final outcome.

"Your Excellency... you should go to the northeastern part of the empire, where your destined person will be."

It's really like that.

"The...Destined Man from the Northeast?"

The flickering light and shadow flickered on Grace's cheek, and she couldn't help but ask,

"What is the use of a destined man?"

The fortune teller put the crystal ball in her hand into her wide sleeve robe, and her voice suddenly became deeper,

"Probably the person you've been dreaming about."

"The... person you miss day and night?"

Apart from that... woman, apart from a woman who is more persistent than death and difficult to let go, who else can there be?

"..."

Grace didn't speak, she lowered her head, not wanting to worry about Irene anymore.

It would make people sick, and at the same time, invisible pain would gradually fill every inch of the body.

"That's it for today... By the way, your magical talents related to ice and snow cannot be wasted."

The fortune teller, who was mysterious but seemed to have some real ability, waved goodbye.

"Bingxue's magical talent...? Wait!"

Grace realized something in a daze, grabbed the fortune teller's sleeve and planned to discuss it in detail.

But the green-white fingers and the black cloak were missed in the air, and the fortune teller lady closed the wooden door with a snap, cutting off all the noise and lights in the square and blending into the blackness of the night.

He couldn't even hold on to her sleeves.

Do you have magical talent?

It's weird...

Grace frowned her slender eyebrows and looked at the white palms in disbelief.

It is undeniable that the attention is completely attracted to the diviner.

Come and have a look next time.

At the same time, Nora stood quietly behind Grace and couldn’t help but frown.

Calamity Witch Lucia broke away from her previous frivolity and spoke seriously - "The fortune teller has a very familiar smell."

"What does familiar smell mean? Is it an old friend?"

Lucia's voice in her mind had never been so serious. She seemed to have turned into the legendary mysterious witch who could attract fire from the sky with every move she made.

"I don't know, but she has the power to predict the future, which is something only my origin can do."

"Help me investigate her."

Before he could think about the answer, Her Highness Grace's voice suddenly broke into his ears.

"Anna, go find a sign and paint, apply 'Try the potion one gold coin at a time', and exchange it for a hundred gold coins as well as paper and pen. I'll wait for you here."

The atmosphere revealed by Grace was a bit low.

"Okay." - Nora responded to two people's requests at the same time with one word.

……

Nora finished the task in a hurry, and Grace stood alone in the semicircular square.

Each time I go back, the galaxy becomes deeper.

Directly opposite the Statue of the Goddess in the Square is a huge copper bell tower, with a black metal hour hand already pointing to nine o'clock.

As the imperial capital of the Rhine Empire, Klein is not only the center of politics and economy, but also the center of entertainment. It is known as the city that never sleeps.

Therefore, even on a cold winter night, there are still many people who spontaneously take to the streets to have fun.

Dinner ended at nine o'clock, and night time officially fell. The bonfire under the goddess statue was lit according to tradition, and some vendors and stalls began to sell goods despite the winter wind.

The loud drunkenness, the crowds coming and going, and the raging flames made the winter seem less cold at this moment.

Grace sat down slowly on the bench next to the fortune telling shop, looking down at the unfamiliar world.

She is unfamiliar with everything and everyone, even though she has lived with her for nearly three weeks, and even though she has recognized the identity of the fifth princess.

The soul of Grace has always seemed like an outsider.

Alone, dragging his body through the world.

The street lamps lit by kerosene melted, and the bard playing the organ in front was surrounded by everyone. The laughter and noise had nothing to do with him.

On the left is a cake shop with a small storefront, but the cakes displayed in the window are very exquisite.

Fresh strawberries are covered with a layer of delicious frosting, and the bottom layer is decorated with buttercream, which is very appetizing.

If it were a naive child, he would definitely like it, right?

Grace thought in a daze that a young father and daughter happened to pass by the cake shop quietly.

The young father has a short beard and holds his daughter firmly with his right hand.

His back is slightly bent, and his clothes are not only thin but also heavily patched, making people question whether they can keep out the cold.
