The hot breath hit the girl's cheek again, and this time Grace could clearly smell the strong smell of alcohol.

Victoria drank.

Judging from Victoria's slightly flushed cheeks and slightly out-of-focus pupils, she had drunk a lot.

For a princess like her who is very likely to become the heir to the crown prince, drinking alcohol at palace banquets is necessary.

But the strong alcohol still made Grace frown subconsciously.

At this time, she noticed with her peripheral vision that outside the door, there were doctors of all sizes wearing white palace doctor uniforms.

If it were simply that he was injured, he would probably send a second-rate doctor to see him at most.

The desk, which was often used for official business, was filled with colorful medicine bottles placed high and low.

The vertical clock placed on the left has a slender hand pointing to four in the morning. The stars outside the window are sparse and the night is late.

Who would she drink until four in the morning?

Victoria exhaled from her chest, quickly adjusted the expression on her face, touched Grace's head like a pet, and said softly:

"You are already receiving treatment from the imperial doctor. Shouldn't you be the one to worry about now?"

Who are you showing that expression to?

Grace resisted some inner impulse to tear this fake thing apart, and asked again as obediently as a rag doll,

"Sister Huang, I'm asking if her physical condition is okay?"

Victoria's eyebrows drooped slightly. She did not answer Grace's question, but took a deep breath and scolded with a gloomy face,

"Grace, do you know how bad your physical condition is now?"

"The imperial doctor said you..."

Victoria's delicate and slender eyebrows stood up, and she excitedly pointed at the doctor waiting outside the door.

She suddenly realized something and let out a long helpless sigh, "Oh, forget it..."

"Why would you be hurt like this as long as I disappear now?"

Her voice was low, and the emotions of loss and self-blame contained in it were obvious.

What a perfect performance!Grace couldn't help but applaud Victoria inwardly.

This time the illusion was obviously a premeditated assassination.

Just like the poisoned wine at the last banquet, it happened to be an assassination attempt on her, and Victoria happened to be away tonight.

And it happened that her carriage came back, but her people were not there.

Grace couldn't help but wonder, was this a play directed and acted by the imperial sister?

However, if she wanted to kill herself with her methods, she would only kill someone with a borrowed knife...

So who did it?

The current choice requires a strong dose of medicine.

Grace's eyes are bright. She will no longer believe any words under Victoria's face. She will pretend in the same way and fight back.

"It's okay, Sister Huang, actually I feel much better..."

Grace squeezed Victoria's hand, like a pitiful deer, and blinked in fear,

"Did the imperial doctor say that my current condition is very bad?"

"..."

Victoria was silent for two seconds. Her mood was indeed filled with a little joy at the moment of waking up, but it was soon filled with some kind of discomfort.

She leaned over again and gently touched the girl's cheek,

"It's okay. As long as you take your medicine, you'll be fine."

Grace only felt a sickening hypocrisy in this intimacy.

"Sister Huang...can I...move out from the palace?"

She coughed weakly, forced Liu Fufeng's body to stand up, and held the quilt to cover her body that was full of pain.

As expected, Victoria's face could no longer maintain gentleness and peace.

Is Grace going to escape from her control?

The corners of her mouth instantly drooped, the aura around her began to freeze, and her jewel-like red pupils became slightly gloomy.

"I'm scared of everything here, whether it's Brother Karta or my father, it's like living in a terrible hell. Every day, I worry that someone will take my life."

Grace's soft voice was trembling, and her acting skills were very good. You could almost see the glint of tears under the light of the chandelier.

Victoria couldn't help but gently put the princess into her arms, "Do you think it's not safe to be around the princess...?"

"No……"

Grace retorted dully, but to the girl's mind, such an awkward tone was equivalent to some kind of invisible blame.

"That's my problem."

"But it doesn't matter, Grace. Sister Huang will take you with me at all times this time. I will personally protect you every day. Wherever I am, you will be there."

If that's the case, then why did you hand that glass of poisonous wine to that kind and lovely child?

Grace's eyes were cold, her chin rested on the shoulder of the drunk woman, and she said in a pitiful voice:

"No... I'm just scared. I don't want to live this kind of life anymore."

"And we're getting married next September..."

"marry?"

Victoria's palm patting Grace's back suddenly stopped.

"Yes, it should be what my father said privately to the Argerich family yesterday."

The expression on Victoria's face could no longer hold on. She released the intimate embrace, looked at the girl's face seriously and made a promise,

"If you don't like Argerich, I will refuse it for you."

"No, the Argerich family are all very nice, and Miss Avro saved me..."

Grace shook her head, her eyebrows lowered, and her face showed a real anxious look.

"How is she doing? I'm worried..."

Avro?

Maybe it's some kind of special emotion at work.

People who used to have all their eyes on you will feel an unspeakable discomfort when they turn their attention to others after losing their memory.

Avro had already woken up at two o'clock. Even though she was limping in bed, she still wanted to see her royal sister...

Avro's strange emotions caused discomfort beyond Victoria's imagination.

As if she was jealous of something being taken away from her, Victoria ordered the maid to pin Avro down on the bed.

The patient must rest well.

"This is not something that the imperial sister needs to be concerned about. I have already hired a royal doctor for her. Your injury is much more serious than hers."

She put her hands on Grace's shoulders, covered the girl with a quilt gently and carefully, and said the most decisive words in the gentlest voice.

"So, Grace, don't worry, the princess will take you with her every day from now on."

——Yes, after this, the imperial sister will still be his imperial sister. Nothing has happened between them, it will be the same as before.

Grace blinked happily on the bed, "Really?"

"real."

Victoria made her promise, which couldn't be better news for Grace.

Next, I will get closer to Victoria, see all her weaknesses and fears, and then defeat her without hesitation.

69. Avro, help me go to the toilet

When the girl fell, her blood was the same color as roses, and her eyes were bright red and beautiful.

Avro will never be able to look directly at such bright red again.

And the drop of red splashed on the forehead was like a drop of hot hot paint, burning and corroding the skin.

Avro knew that he had never seen it wrong. Grace's nature was as clean and clear as her eyes.

but……

This cleanliness at the moment of life and death made the body, which was originally heavy and unable to move an inch, become erratic as if it had fallen from the clouds into the darkest abyss.

His face was horribly pale. Avro was half-supported on the ground, unable to move at all. It was as if he had lost his soul. His pupils, lips, and limbs were constantly trembling in the coldness of death.

My heart felt empty, my whole body felt cold, and I felt like vomiting.

Broken crystals, cold dolls, and dangerous dream-like illusions, like broken glass suddenly cracking.

All dangers disappeared, and the world returned to peace, as if it were a dream.

Outside the window, the cold moon under the clouds compassionately gave half of the moonlight to the world.

There were no kerosene lamps or magic sources of light in Victoria's palace.

In the pitch-black room, the only thing that illuminated the cold darkness was the glowing butter lamp tilted on the ground.

The dark yellow light seeping from the transparent glass outlines a dark shadow on the outline of the girl lying on the ground.

Her Royal Highness’ cheek, which had no idea what sunlight was, was covered with layers of dripping blood.

Her clean and transparent eyes were now closed tightly, as if she had lost consciousness, and her thin body was motionless, leaving Avro with only an unbearable and maddening silence.

"Hahaha……"

Afro gasped for air after being pulled away from the bloody rain. At this moment, she finally realized what had happened.

Avro had never been so anxious. She got up from the ground and stumbled towards Her Royal Highness.

A heartbreaking pain shot through his body, and he was completely drowned in the overriding worry.

The hands that could be closed safely when praying were now trembling violently.

Her Highness Grace's body has already reached its limit!

Now - to save myself, I jumped down from the tall building in the fantasy world!

How long can someone as frail as her live?

Feeling the fragility of life intuitively for the first time, Avro didn't even dare to use magic to explore Grace's vitality.

She is afraid.

The girl who was afraid of seeing the snow melted in the sun like the snow.

Avro half squatted down, breathing intermittently and trembling. His left leg was weak because at the moment of bending, he half-knelt on the ground with a thud.

She raised her arms like crazy and continued to cast healing magic on Grace.

Please, Grace, please, Goddess!

My heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly by someone's palms, making me feel uncomfortable and panicked.

A clear tear flowed quietly on the cheek under the moonlight.

She carefully put her slender index finger tremblingly in front of the girl's delicate nose.

The weak, shallow breathing is like a faint signal in the storm, which may be disconnected at any time.

Great!Great!

Avro has never felt so lucky, and his originally dead heart became alive with this meager breath.

Thank you, Goddess, Your Royal Highness is still alive.

The empty feeling of losing everything was mostly relieved at this moment.

But now Afro's nervous heart is not enough to let go.

Her Royal Highness's physical condition is still very dangerous, so she must call someone as soon as possible.
