Why do I have the lowest fighting ability among the whole family?

"Take her back to rest."

The Duchess remained silent on the road, sitting in the carriage quietly shaking her fan and not knowing what she was thinking.

When she arrived at the castle, she gave instructions to the maid, and then walked towards the stairs holding up her skirt.

"Sir." The maid was a little timid and didn't dare to speak. She saw Pei Shao standing still for a long time before she spoke tentatively.

"Want me to take you to your room?"

Pei Shao was waiting for her words.

To rest, she really didn't know where the room she should go to was.

She nodded, and the little maid breathed a sigh of relief and led her up the stairs.

After reaching the third floor, the little maid stopped. She pointed to the room at the end of the third floor, lowered her head and whispered: "Sir, your room has arrived."

"You go and rest first. If anything happens at night, I will wake you up."

The room is decorated in a typical Western style, with exquisite stone vaults and crystal chandeliers on the ceiling. Brightly colored tapestries and oil paintings hang on the walls. The large carved bed is placed in the corner. You can see the doorway when you look down from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the room. retro wrought iron gate.

Pei Shao breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as he took off the outer skirt and the inner skirt, he felt much lighter.

Looking at the mirror in the room and thinking of those strange barrages, she paused while taking off her clothes.

Then he quietly pulled the zipper up again.

She only took off her outer skirt and kept her inner clothes on.

After finding a more casual nightgown from the closet and putting it on, she felt a lot more relaxed.

The laces of the dress just now were so tight that she couldn't breathe.

The Duchess knocked on the mirror in her room and sighed.

The voice lost its feminine charm and became deeper again.

"You really disappoint me."

Pei Shao originally thought that she would not be able to sleep peacefully in this environment, but it was extremely rare that she felt sleepy just after lying down on the bed.

It wasn't until about four or five hours that she woke up.

A ray of light from outside could be seen through the crack in the door. After being woken up, she couldn't fall asleep. She silently calculated how much time was left for the task and simply sat up from the bed.

Hearing the rustling sounds coming from the room, the little maid who was keeping watch at the door hurriedly asked, "Sir, are you awake?"

Pei Shao gave a faint hum, sat up from the bed, turned on the light, and then said slowly: "What's going on outside?"

It's not yet five o'clock in the morning, and it's not even bright outside yet.

But the castle was in chaos.

"It's His Highness the Prince -" the little maid's voice was a little shrill. After saying this, she realized that she shouldn't have this attitude. She lowered her head and said calmly: "The Prince is searching the whole city for the girl who danced with him at the dinner..."

Just as he was talking, Pei Shao heard the sound of someone going up the stairs outside.

"Search on the order of His Highness the Prince! All girls of the right age are invited to come and try on this glass slipper."

The guard's voice was loud enough that Pei Shao could hear it clearly even in the room.

The little maid knocked on the door and asked anxiously, "Sir?"

The guard repeated it again with a cold face, his voice a little colder than before.

There was no movement in the house. The little maid was almost crying. The guard lost his patience. He stretched out his hand and roughly pushed the maid away, then kicked the door with his foot. At this time, Pei Shao also opened the door.

She is wearing a pure white nightgown with ruffles and lace. These fur balls are sewn on the neckline, and the ruffles on the cuffs and neckline look cute and cute.

Wearing white cotton socks on her feet, she stepped on the wooden floor. Probably because she had just woken up, her eyes were bleary and her voice had a nasal sound.

"what happened?"

The guard put down his foot that wanted to kick the door, and even his voice became much softer.

"According to His Highness the Prince's order, I will ask all the girls of the right age in the city to try on this glass slipper. As long as the girl can wear the crystal slipper, she will become a princess."

The guard said, taking down a glass slipper from the tray held by the person behind him.

Pei Shao looked at the glass slipper and his eyebrows jumped suddenly.

This glass slipper was on the foot of the girl in the sky blue tutu during the dinner today.

But no matter the size, color and workmanship of the shoes, they were exactly the same as the pair she changed into in the afternoon.

She really didn't expect that the search would lead here.

She bit her lip, her brain working rapidly, thinking of reasons to refuse. Before she could say anything, the Duchess came up with three young girls.

"These are my three daughters, let them try it out first." The duchess raised her chin, and the three girls took a step forward and walked to the guard.

The guard looked at the three people up and down, focusing on their feet, and then shook his head with some disappointment.

"Let's try it first." But he didn't say anything and respectfully handed the glass slipper forward.

The girl who looked to be the oldest took the shoe over excitedly, then sat aside and put it on her feet with force.

Unfortunately her feet were too big and couldn't fit into the shoes.

She was a little anxious and squeezed her toes into the shoes with such force that Pei Shao even heard a crisp bone cracking sound.

A cold sweat broke out on the girl's head.

But she still forced herself to stand up, held up the hem of her skirt and spun around in circles, showing off to her two younger sisters with some smugness: "How is it? I will be the princess from now on."

She was so immersed in her dream that she didn't pay any attention to the extremely ugly looks on her two sisters' faces.

Even the guards were full of surprise.

"Congratulations, Princess!"

The two sisters couldn't bear it anymore. They exchanged glances, then one grabbed the Duke's eldest daughter, and the other grabbed her and pulled the shoes off her feet.

Seeing the girl's weirdly twisted toes, the two sisters were immediately overjoyed. They pointed at her toes and shouted to the guard: "Look! These shoes are not suitable for her to wear! She is not a princess!"

The guard also changed his expression.

"Why don't you let me try next?" The second daughter smiled flatteringly, while the guard looked at the eldest daughter's toes with pity and nodded perfunctorily.

"Try it, whoever can wear this glass slipper will become a princess."

The second daughter was so happy that she grabbed the shoes and put them on her feet.

What she didn't see was a trace of imperceptible resentment and jealousy flashing through the eyes of the third sister standing aside.

Before the glass shoe even touched her toes, she seemed to have realized something. She rolled her eyes and put the shoe on the ground: "I have something to do. I'll come as soon as I can."

The guard nodded, let her put her shoes on the ground, and then went downstairs in a hurry.
