Seeing that the dirty glass slippers were about to touch her feet, Pei Shao immediately shouted sharply: "Stop!"

The guard raised his head, with a modest smile on his face, but his tone was irreverent: "Sir, this is an order from His Highness, you cannot disobey it."

As he spoke, he knelt down and lifted Pei Shao's feet up.

Pei Shao's brain was working rapidly, and he suddenly had an idea when he glanced at the Duchess beside him.

The Duchess was still standing in the corner, watching the farce with an expressionless face, not giving a single glance to the three girls huddled aside, as if they were not her children.

"She is the girl tonight!" Pei Shao pointed at the duchess with a firm tone, but his nervous palms were sweating.

"I saw a glass slipper exactly like this one from her house during the day! If you don't believe me, you can search for it."

She took off her glass slippers before attending the dinner party.

This must indeed still be in the Duchess's dressing room.

After entering the secret realm this time, Pei Shao felt that the duchess was different from the last time she saw her.

I just don’t know if he is also a disciple who came to the secret realm...

And tonight’s mysterious Cinderella.

The guard paused and immediately looked up at the Duchess.

He was keenly aware of a hint of guilt in the Duchess's eyes.

After just a brief thought, the guard decided to give up on Pei Shao, who looked young and had no resemblance to tonight's Cinderella. He immediately stood up and looked at the Duchess with a polite tone: "Madam, please allow me to search. one time."

The Duchess raised her chin, with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.

"you dare!"

"Madam, you should know that this belongs to His Highness the Prince..."

Before the guard finished speaking, someone outside shouted loudly: "The princess has been found! The princess has been found!"

The guard immediately regained his composure and bowed politely towards the duchess.

"Sorry to bother you, madam, please allow me to apologize, but you also know that this is an order from His Highness the Prince."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand back, and the guards he brought immediately filed out neatly.

Even the three daughters who were covering their wounds looked unwilling and poked their heads out to see who the princess was.

"You should rest first." The Duchess turned around and said expressionlessly: "I will take a few of them to treat their wounds first."

Pei Shao didn't really want to communicate too much with the duchess, so he responded perfunctorily and closed the door.

She didn't open the window in the house until she confirmed that calm had returned to the corridor outside.

Peeking out from the window, she could just see the scene outside the castle. Different from the quietness of the castle, although it was not yet bright, people were still everywhere talking loudly outside, and a few vague words floated into her ears.

Dinner party...His Royal Highness...Cinderella...Princess...

There was a maid keeping vigil outside the room. After counting down the countdown in his mind to the end of the mission, Pei Shao immediately made a decisive decision.

It’s hard to come to a secret realm, so of course you can’t just sit here and wait for death.

No matter what, you have to complete the tasks and get the rewards.

She lifted up the sheets on the bed, found scissors from the room, and cut it into strips.

The room she lives in is on the third floor, and she doesn't need a long rope. As long as she can touch the ground, she can find an opportunity to run out of the castle.

It wasn't until the sheets were torn into four strips and then connected one after another that the lengths were about the same.

Afraid of being discovered by the duchess, Pei Shao decided to make a quick decision. After tying the sheet tightly to the window lattice, he gritted his teeth and crawled down the sheet. She didn't dare to make any movement, but the rope made of sheets was not very stable. She climbed to about the second floor, when a gust of wind blew, causing her and the rope to sway violently.

Seeing that her body was about to hit the open window of a room on the second floor, Pei Shao gritted his teeth, aimed at the position below, then closed his eyes and jumped down.

But unexpected.

There was no sharp pain from falling to the ground, and she fell into a warm embrace.

Pei Shao opened his eyes in surprise, and then met a pair of light amber eyes.

Looking at the familiar face in front of her, she was stunned for a long time before she found her voice.

"Azalea?!"

Azaria held her in her arms and made a hissing gesture to Pei Shao.

"Don't make any sound, someone is coming." He whispered in Pei Shao's ear, then put her on the ground and led her in another direction.

Meeting Azaria, the first person she met in this world, was like meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

Pei Shao felt like he had a lot to say, but now was obviously not a good time to speak.

Azaria led her to avoid the night guards and went out through a small door in the corner of the castle.

It wasn't until he returned to the town that Pei Shao asked, "Why are you there?"

Azaria returned to her taciturn state.

"I thought you might need me," he said.

"His Royal Highness has found tonight's princess. She may go on a parade after dawn...along the town. Do you want to take a look?"

Pei Shao nodded, looked up at Azaria, and said with gratitude: "Azalea, thank you."

Azaria said nothing. He turned his head to avoid Pei Shao's gaze, but his face turned red unconsciously in the darkness.

Pei Shao nodded, thinking about what would happen next.

The eldest brother became the second prince, but he didn't look in good health.

So I don’t know if I can meet him tonight.

And Lu Yan and Yu Jiaojiao...

Pei Shao sighed, secretly thinking that he was really a little greedy.

It was a good thing to meet Bai Qing'an. She had no reason to expect to meet Lu Yan and Yu Jiaojiao again.

"...Do you want to go back with me and take a rest?" Azaria struggled in her heart for a long time before tentatively asking.

Facing Pei Shao's puzzled gaze, he hurriedly explained: "I left the hound where I live. It can't live without me, and it's too early now..."

Pei Shao looked up at the dark sky and nodded.

Azaria's eyes widened as if in disbelief.

But he quickly nodded and led the way, while Pei Shao followed silently.

Azaria's temporary residence was a two-story building. She followed Azaria quietly and walked up the wooden stairs.

The stairs were probably in disrepair, and they creaked when you stepped on them, especially in the dark environment.

Azaria was walking in front, and when she heard the movement of Pei Shao following behind, the tips of her ears turned red unconsciously.
