28. Grace never looked back once

every day?

Isn't this just a guide delivered to your doorstep?

Avro is such a little fool.

Grace raised her eyebrows slightly, "Okay."

But Grace's response was a different scene in Avro's eyes.

Grace is compromising.

So Afro is now planning to find flaws in Grace.

Then she was asked to copy the "History of the Goddess" ten times a day, and to go to churches, monasteries and orphanages to perform penance.

Well... Of course, Grace's life is now a lot like penance.

However, the key to the problem is that she must realize her fault.

In fact, Grace is not a bad person, but she sometimes goes crazy suddenly. It is normal for terminally ill patients to have psychological problems.

Avro decided to give her a chance, like a compassionate goddess.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Afro no longer wanted to say anything more to Grace.

She retreated to the piano seat in disgust, but when she looked out the window, the dark blue snowy night was still gloomy, but her inner irritability was reduced a lot.

Grace took out another thick book from the desk. Avro could only see her movements from the back, but he didn't know what book she was reading.

She ordered, "It's only seven o'clock now. After ten o'clock, we will go out together. You can do whatever you want in the bedroom now, including eating, bathing or hanging out."

Can I do whatever I want?

It's better to read a book.

Avro said "Hmm" and stood up. He walked lightly through the shelves of bookshelves, most of which were popular storybooks and geography-type science books.

She picked out a book at random, dragged a soft seat to her, and sat down thousands of miles away from Grace.

Avro originally wanted to turn his back to Grace, but he couldn't help but be curious and wanted to secretly look back at what she was doing.

So, she simply turned her chair around and looked at the back of Her Royal Highness.

If Her Royal Highness turns her head, she can immediately cover her cheeks with books.

But it's a pity that Grace never looked back from beginning to end.

……

Time turns leisurely in the ticking hands, and the sound of snow rustling outside the window brings peace and comfort in a distorted way.

In such a quiet environment, Grace finally had a suitable environment for reading.

The book she is reading now is called "History of the Development of the Llane Empire". It mainly describes the history of the development of the Llane Empire as a powerful empire that has been inherited for 800 years and has experienced several new declines.

Although it is a history of development, it uses a lot of words to praise the achievements of the real-life emperor Kevin the Great.

It is said that he came to power under the blessing of the goddess at the age of 16, destroyed the Ibro Principality at the age of 30, reformed the army and the nobility at the age of 40, and introduced superior crops, potatoes, to solve the food ration problem of the poor peasants.

And vigorously opened up sea and land trade routes.

Under his rule, the Lion Empire transformed from a first-rate power into the most powerful empire on the continent of Eris. The word "Great Emperor" is used in the book to describe his achievements.

Grace glanced curiously at the publication time at the back of the book, the holy year 701.

She didn’t know whether the merit was true, but Grace could infer that her father seemed to be particularly concerned about “reputation”.

According to the setting, she is obviously an unpopular princess, but she still owns such a gorgeous palace and countless jewelry.

Grace suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a human-shaped statue made of bright gold in front of the palace gate.

The statue is four meters high and gleaming with gold, exuding luxury and majesty even in the dark night.

The middle-aged man in the statue is majestic, wearing a jeweled crown on his head, holding a scepter in his left hand, sitting on the throne with his head lowered and meditatively, looking like an emperor who is occupying the world and establishing a grand hegemony.

When passing by, there happened to be a group of maids carefully cleaning and caring for the fallen snow on the statue.

Do you think this statue should be your father?Kevin?

People who have reached the pinnacle of power are even more eager to hear the heartfelt voices of surrender from others.

That’s why father Kevin cares so much about reputation, right?

The tips of Grace's ears twitched as she was thinking about it.

The faint sounds of the maids talking could be heard from the hall on the first floor of the palace.

Grace could only hear a general idea - "Huh? Okay, I understand, I will convey it to Her Royal Highness."

It should be someone from Victoria.

Sure enough, less than 3 minutes later, there was a knock on the door of the bedroom.

Grace turned around and ordered, "Come in."

She found Afro sitting opposite her back, frowning in an old-fashioned way, with a slumped face, as if he was very unhappy.

Why are you angry again?

Grace blinked at her expressionlessly, but she didn't appreciate it and turned her cheek to one side awkwardly.

Leather shoes were walking in small pieces on the cashmere blanket, and the delicate maid from before walked in front of Grace with steady steps.

With three-color ribbons and white hair and blue eyes, she is a personal maid.

Grace looked at it with Insight, and saw "Sarah" written in big blue letters after her name similar to the status bar.

Hmm...it turns out to be a child named Sarah.

The maid Sarah performed the standard palace salutation - this required kneeling on half of the body and placing her hands on her chest.

If you are a noble lady, you only need to bow and lift your skirt slightly, and young men only need to put your right hand on your chest and bow.

"Your Highness Grace, there is news from the Third Princess and Your Majesty, saying that there is a dinner with Ambassador Cardin today. It is an important matter. I will come to see you another day."

Grace is not unusual.

Emperor Kevin really doesn't like himself, the fifth princess, at all.

As a father, if he loves his daughter, he will care about her health as soon as possible.

As an emperor who values ​​reputation very important, he will definitely come to see himself as soon as possible and establish the persona of a good father.

However, the disgust for Grace defeated all of this.

Fortunately, he still maintained the face of the royal family and gave the fifth princess the dignity she deserved.

There are a lot of treasures and rewards.

However, now that the news has come, it means that you can go out now.

"understood."

Grace stood up, turned to Afro, who was pretending to read a book, and invited,

"Miss Afro, let's go for a walk in the Royal Garden."

29.The person you trust most

The snow is still falling, the winter night is cold, and the moving wind is like a sharp blade scraping across the cheek, stinging it red and painful.

The howling wind and snow in the sky clearly and vividly interpreted the ruthlessness of nature, and soon the world became pale and silent.

All the low grass and trees in the Imperial Garden are covered with a layer of white snow, the clear lake is frozen, and the squeezing sound of the snow under your feet is particularly clear.

In this night when every breath turned into misty white smoke, Avro held an umbrella behind him and followed step by step.

"Why only bring an umbrella? It's so crowded."

She suddenly asked such strange words.

Grace turned around, her thick coat spinning, and she almost fell into Avro's arms.

Gray made a muffled sound, and took a step back, somewhat unaccustomed to it, to distance the two of them.

Then, she raised her eyes to meet Avro's puzzled eyes and answered,

"You are tall, so you are suitable for holding an umbrella."

Judging from the height of the two of them, Avro is indeed six to seven centimeters taller than Grace, and she is indeed more suitable for holding an umbrella.

"..."

Avro was silent.

So you are too lazy to hold an umbrella?

He is not her servant, so why do he do slave work for her?

Grace couldn't remember how many times Avro frowned in disgust today.

Anyway, there is only a little life left, so just bear with it.

Avro thought she would refuse, but Grace glanced at the hand holding the umbrella handle and said shockingly:

"If you don't mind hitting your head, I can also hold an umbrella."

Measuring the height between the two simply by sight, Avro was finally convinced that if he asked Her Royal Highness to hold an umbrella, he would get completely soaked in his mink clothes.

"never mind."

Avro shook his head, and finally held up the umbrella handle and looked at the palace with twinkling lights in the distance.

On a snowy night, the emperor's palace in the distance is brightly lit like a sleepless city in the sky. Snowflakes float by one by one. The gorgeousness contrasts with the loneliness at this time, making the atmosphere under the umbrella particularly ethereal.

Standing side by side with someone, Avro couldn't help but ask,

"So, how long are you going to hang around here?"

Grace no longer looked into Avro's eyes, but began to linger in the pure white royal garden.

The grass and trees at high and low levels are outlined with beautiful pure white silhouettes by snowflakes, and the extreme tranquility washes the heart like a paradise.

It makes people feel relaxed.

"No idle person would wander around on a snowy night because it's cold."

"Her Royal Highness, the Third Princess, was able to find me at the first time, and naturally knew that we were in the Royal Garden at the first time. All we have to do now is wait for her."

Avro remained skeptical of Grace's illogical statement.

"Are you so sure that she will come to give you the key to the dungeon?"

Grace stretched out her hand and caught a piece of cold snowflake. While watching it slowly melting in her hand, she said,

"Victoria was very strange at the beginning, although she did seem like a good sister. But her attitude towards me after I was poisoned was very subtle."

"She didn't even question my recovery after being poisoned, and she didn't even question why I was running around."

"Victoria is a strong candidate to seize the throne. Someone who can reach such a position is not that simple. Her purpose from the beginning to the end should be for this, and she will never fail to come."

"In case you don't come, let's enjoy the snow."

Grace said, turning her head to look at Afro, her eyes shining brightly and she praised,

"The snow scene is beautiful today."

The beautiful blood pupils are particularly eye-catching in the snowy sky, just like a gorgeous red rose. However, it is a pity that this rose will wither and decay soon.

Snowflakes were falling on the umbrella, and it stood under the snowy sky. The atmosphere now was very peaceful.

Avro doesn't understand the royal struggle at all, but...

The way Her Royal Highness has no expectations for other people's feelings is a bit...

She was obviously going to die, but no one wanted to tell her.

Avro happened to catch a glimpse of some crystal snowflakes on one side of Her Royal Highness's coat, and she tilted her umbrella slightly.

Caring for the sick out of good intentions.

Then she wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say, so she sighed.

Finally, I held my umbrella and pulled the leaves of the evergreen tree with some twisting, watching it tremble and shake off the snow particles.
