"Thank you, Sister Huang, I like it very much."

Grace did so, her cold body close to the woman who was like a snake and scorpion. The rich perfume on her body filled her nostrils, and now it became extremely smelly.

Putting her head on Victoria's shoulders, Grace closed her eyes in disgust.

"Okay, okay, you must wear the things that the imperial sister gives you anytime and anywhere. You can't take them off."

The hypocrisy continued. Victoria pushed Grace away with a few perfunctory words like coaxing a child, raised her red lips slightly, and said:

"I asked for the church's blessing from above to be able to protect you."

The emphasis of the words fell on "anytime and anywhere". When Victoria spoke, those scarlet eyes that seemed to be stained with blood stared straight at her.

It fills up some kind of invisible oppression.

This is Victoria's expectation.

"I know, I won't take it off."

Grace simply responded and glanced down at the exquisitely crafted bracelet.

Hao Bai's wrist looks even more slender against the background of metal and gemstones, and is as easily broken as a crabapple branch, adding a bit of subtle beauty.

The flowing luster made Grace always feel that this was not a good thing.

"Huh? Very well behaved."

Victoria nodded with satisfaction, she smiled as bright and charming as a rose,

"Have you eaten or showered? You probably haven't washed and eaten well these past few days, right? Do you want to go with the imperial sister?"

"Of course."

The meek Grace replied.

……

Grace did not have the opportunity to test Victoria by telling her memories about the day of the poisoned wine.

But she was not too anxious, because she was locked in Victoria's palace, like a canary with broken wings.

She couldn't explore the rooms in Victoria's palace because she was followed by a group of maids wherever she went.

They said yes - "In order to ensure the safety of Your Highness the Fifth Princess, we must do this."

But Grace knew that it was just surveillance under a different name.

There is no chance of fulfilling the agreement with Mr. Donner to appear at Francis' engagement party.

However, the news that the fifth princess has been found will soon spread throughout the palace, and if it leaks out of the palace, it cannot be regarded as a broken promise.

So Grace isn't worried.

Day and night rotate, the moon sets and the sun rises. After a whole night, the light snow outside the window has also melted.

In the early morning, a little bit of residual snow fell on the branches of evergreen trees, but even in such cold weather, the tough trees also sprouted some tender green buds.

Grace leaned against the window with her head half-supported, her eyes firmly fixed on the marble-paved avenue.

Victoria has never been so anxiously looking forward to being able to go out and meet people...

Only after Victoria goes out will he have the opportunity to find a site for mass production of the magic drink "Cola".

As for how to deal with Victoria, that will happen later.

What we have to do now is to escape from the sealed Victoria Palace.

"Meow……"

The cat with soft fur was lying on its side on the big goose down bed without restraint. It proudly raised its paws and licked the snow-white fur gracefully.

The leisurely posture seems like it is the owner of the entire room.

Grace followed the name of the previous pet of the fifth princess and named it Bell.

Although he has had pets before, this time it seemed like a mutual repulsion between territorial cats, and Bell didn't like him.

Every time he sees himself, he always scratches with his claws.

When Grace was sick, she would occasionally walk across the bed with her slender white tail wagging proudly.

This kind of cat... a fool would probably like it very much.

Grace felt a little annoyed when she thought of the man's bright eyes and slimy appearance.

She watched the cat grit its teeth angrily, then delicately touched her collarbone, and made up her mind.

Give it to that guy to raise sometime.

The sound of horse hooves tapping on the marble slab sounded, and Grace's eyes immediately shifted from the cat to the window sill.

From a distance, she saw Victoria dressed like a night rose on the avenue, stepping onto the carriage with the support of her maid.

It seems... ready to go out?

Grace's eyes lit up. The opportunity she had been waiting for finally came.

"Snapped!"

The groom raised his long whip to urge the horse, and the luxurious carriage representing the royal family set foot on the long road.

Grace kept watching as the glittering carriage turned into a tiny dot on the ground.

Finally, she stood up excitedly, her red eyes suddenly became alive, and she loudly called her former personal maid,

"Anna! Prepare the carriage. I want to visit the Rhodes Welfare Institution. I miss Carol and the others."

……

Sunday, as the last day of creation by God, does not require nuns to lead prayers in the church.

Therefore, Afro's alternative in the past was to go to the Rhodes Welfare Institute in the West End of San Francisco and see those cute children.

Taking care of children is not a job, but a true love.

In the eyes of those young and innocent children, Avro can see the cleanest and purest light in the world, as well as the best future and hope.

Even if you just see a smile on their face, you will feel a sense of clarity that your heart has been cleansed.

Because this winter was too harsh, the garden in the orphanage was in ruins, with several dry branches about to wither.

Avro crossed his hands and leaned against the ancient tree with all its fallen leaves.

Opposite her was little Carol, who had dry hair and a slightly yellow complexion.

She tugged at her cotton-padded jacket, rubbed her toes restlessly on the frozen soil, pursed her lips stubbornly, and said nothing.

Avro took a deep breath, and Chunliang's face frowned seriously for the first time. Even so, the aura was not that strong.

But with a softness like water.

She stared into Carol's eyes and asked like a dean,

"Caro, did you—did you sneak out over the wall yesterday?"

158. Afro: She must have a deep love for me

After graduating from the nuns' college, Avro liked to stay in the orphanage during the prime time of her life from the age of 16 to [-].

This is not out of faith, but simply because I like to be with children.

The children's smiles are the same existence as the light of Purdue, full of new hope and innocence like spring.

As an orphanage affiliated with St. Valery West Church, Rhodes Welfare Home adopts a unique support method that is unique to the Holy See of Rhine.

That is the naming system, that is, believers who are unable to adopt orphans can support them through naming and let the orphanage raise them.

Avro did not choose the naming system, but donated all her labor money as a nun to the welfare home.

Well... because for those children, no matter which one is named, the child who is not selected will inevitably feel sad and disappointed.

The world has abandoned them once and cannot abandon them a second time.

Avro is willing to give his love selflessly, but occasionally... he also finds being a little bit annoying.

For example, while sneaking out of the dog hole in the orphanage, he accidentally trampled to death the precious ivy vine that was Dean Granters' favorite.

Of course, trampling on plants is only a trivial matter, the most important thing is sneaking out.

very dangerous.

Although slavery has been abolished in the empire, there is still a dirty business of buying and selling people.

They are still young and cannot distinguish right from wrong. If they are taken away, the consequences will be disastrous...

So this time, Carol must be educated well!

Carol lowered her head, clutching her slightly yellowed cotton-padded jacket, and hummed awkwardly a few times in a childish voice, and finally she only dared to say in a low voice:

"No, Miss Sister...I don't."

His voice was weak, his eyes were evasive, and he was so out of breath that he was lying.

"Lying is wrong."

Avro's holy voice sounds like some kind of church judgment once it's taken seriously.

Carol shook her head and said in an almost inaudible voice,

"I really didn't lie..."

Although children are innocent, they do not understand everything.

As human cubs, they have extremely strong learning abilities and are naturally able to imitate human evil.

Avro calmed down. She no longer pressed Carol with a downward-looking posture, but squatted down halfway.

Her slender index fingers pointed at the goddess portrait hanging on the wall in the distance, and she asked gently,

"Look at the goddess, tell me again, why did you sneak out? Are there people or things in the orphanage that you don't like? Or has someone bullied you?"

"..."

Carol pursed her lips stubbornly, unwilling to speak even though she could almost hang a soy sauce bottle on her lips.

"never mind."

Avro sighed unbearably. She put her hands on Carol's shoulders and taught softly,

"If one day you encounter a moment when you have to lie to the goddess, I hope your reasons are worth it."

"I……"

Carol's eyes were still evasive, but they were already a little loose.

Have the opportunity!

Avro's eyes lit up slightly, waiting expectantly for Carol's answer.

"Carol!!"

But a clear child's voice interrupted the atmosphere between the two of them.

Avro frowned slightly and looked under the carved stone pillar on the left.

A short and immature figure was waving to this side with all his strength.

Brown curly hair, slightly dark eyes and small freckles covering his face.

Hmm...it seems to be Carol's good friend, Persid.

On her thin face, her sparse eyebrows curved into crescents. She shouted excitedly to Carol,

"The big sister riding the golden carriage is here again!! This time, hurry up and grab the butter bun! It will be too late when you arrive later."

Carol looked at Afro in astonishment, her cautious eyes flickering like a pitiful deer.

Avro had no choice but sighed, nodded and said, "Go ahead."

At this time, the tension on Carol's face dissipated a little, and she showed a cute smile again. The ten-year-old child ran towards her good friend like a jumping frog.

"What about you? Why don't you grab some yourself?"

"Me? I just wanted to inform you and forgot about it."

"How stupid!"
