Princess' personal painter

"It can't be wiped off." Nancy said in a low voice, "A few times before, when there were patterns on the wall, they couldn't be wiped off no matter how much they were wiped off, but they would disappear after a while."

That is, these are also "masterpieces" of magic?

At this moment, Eileen was wearing the "Whispers of Vercetti" as usual. She tried to release her spirit, quietly staring at the spots in front of her for a while, then suddenly asked: "Nancy Miss, do you know what the other party's purpose is?"

"Purpose?" Nancy hesitated for a moment, then asked back in a low voice, "If this kind of thing is all man-made, what's the use of it other than scaring me?"

"If it can't be resolved, will Miss Nancy still live in this room?"

Nancy was taken aback for a moment before she said helplessly, "I don't know...there is probably nowhere else to go except here."

Staying here for a while didn't yield much, so Irene and Nancy continued to walk in.This house is not big, except for the space on the first floor used to operate the dessert shop, there are only three bedrooms and a utility room on the second floor, but because Nancy lives alone, the space is very open.

When she arrived on the second floor, Eunika had already searched all four rooms without authorization, but she still didn't find anything abnormal, nor did she find any clues.The three of them looked at each other, and saw Nancy's uneasy expression, and said, "If you just leave like this, 'it' will still come out!"

"Do you want to wait until night?" Erin asked.

"His Royal Highness said that we will stay here for one night." Eunika nodded and said, "If that kid likes to scare people, he will always be unable to restrain himself and come out again. I hope that someone will not be scared by then. It's better if it's broken."

It is self-evident who the "someone" in Unica's mouth refers to.Realizing that she was underestimated, Eileen snorted softly, ignored the maid who was diametrically opposed to her, turned to Nancy, and said angrily: "Sister Nancy, don't worry, if 'it' still If you plan to come out to scare people, the target must be me... Anyway, I look the most timid, right!"

Since she planned to spend the night here, Nancy tidied up the two vacant rooms a little bit and used them as the bedrooms of Irene and Eunika.They left the palace after dinner, but the waiting time was always a bit difficult. When it was almost nightfall, Nancy ran to the workshop on the first floor again, planning to make a midnight snack for the two of them.

Eileen, who was staying in the room on the second floor, went to the window and opened the curtain, only to see that the sky outside was about to completely darken, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street.Suddenly realizing that she was in a "haunted" room, Eileen couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive.

Speaking of which, Miss Nancy lived alone for so many days, which is really amazing.

While in a daze, Nancy's shout suddenly came from downstairs, and Irene couldn't help but panic.The moment she turned around, her heart twitched violently, completely terrified——

The field of vision in front of her was completely shrouded in darkness, just like the scene that appeared on the wall downstairs just now, countless pairs of blood-red eyes opened in the darkness, peeping in coldly.At the same time, there seemed to be a sound like a bat flapping its wings in her ears, and it was drowned out "thumping". She could almost feel the heat coming from the air, and her body felt like falling into an ice cellar for a moment.

Hallucinations?vision?

Cold sweat broke out for a moment, and Erin had no time to think, she closed her eyes almost subconsciously, stretched out her hand, trying to "erase" the "illusion" in front of her.

The auditory hallucinations in the ear disappeared, and there was a soft "Huh" from the front.

This voice made Erin slightly stunned.Just when she was about to open her eyes to see, she suddenly felt a pain in her head, and her consciousness fell into a daze...

Chapter 5 Meeting "Sister" and the Wall of Spells Again

...It's really a death before the master.

Before losing consciousness, such a sentence floated in her mind.

But then, she heard a crisp bell.There was a sudden pain in her forehead, she instinctively crouched down holding her head, and complained tearfully: "You, why do you like to hit my head so much?"

"The idiot sister was plotted against again, it's really useless!"

The girl's voice came from above, and Irene raised her head, and saw under the blue sky, the bell on the chest of the familiar girl in Chinese dress was still swaying, and she was looking at it with an expression of hatred. come over.Only then did she realize that she was in the depths of her consciousness, and Erin retorted angrily: "But you haven't come out to help me, it's useless at all, it's obviously you, right?"

"I told you a long time ago that I have to deceive the 'Incandescent Star' that I am carrying. It has been so long, and you still haven't acted." The girl in Chinese clothes rolled her eyes, and then He reached out and tapped the girl's forehead, and chattered, "After so many years, you are the only one who can communicate with me, do you know how bored I am...Hmph, it's all because of that teacher-obsessed man Guy, I don’t know how to lock me up without authorization, but I accidentally took the lunch box, which made me bored for hundreds of years. If it weren’t for your appearance, I would have thought our family would be extinct… "

Speaking of emotion, the girl in Chinese clothes suddenly noticed that the girl squatting there below had blushed for some reason, and the atmosphere was a bit subtle for a moment——The girl in Chinese clothes was stunned for half a second, blushing, clutching her skirt and stepping back several times Stepping forward, he shouted: "Idiot, idiot...you're still thinking wildly at this hour!"

Erin quickly shook her head and realized: "I didn't see anything!"

The girl in Chinese clothes said angrily: "But you are clearly thinking about what color it is!"

"It's because I didn't see it that I wondered what color it is!" Erin stood up, and the vigilant eyes of the girl in Chinese clothes hurt her very much. In the awkward atmosphere, she whispered, "Obviously they are all living things." Are you hundreds of years old? Are you still shy?"

"You're more perverted, aren't you?" the girl in the fancy dress retorted, "I already think I'm a boy, but I still like to pretend to be innocent and cute like a little girl. What's more, I secretly take advantage of others!"

Erin was stunned for a moment, but was speechless for a while.

Seeing the girl's pale face, the girl in Chinese clothes was a little panicked, she looked away awkwardly, and whispered: "What's so important about this? Anyway, you are my relatives, there is nothing wrong with that. ..."

Dear... This is such a distant word...

Irene bit her lip, decided to avoid the question, and changed the subject, "You know how I passed out just now, right?"

The girl in Chinese clothes nodded: "It's a kind of illusion. It was just used to scare people, but you seemed to resist, and that guy knocked you out."

Well, it's smooth... how smooth is it?

Erin's face darkened, and she cut to the point and asked, "So, you can help catch that little brat, right?"

The girl in Chinese clothes nodded: "Thanks to that guy's attack on you, I found out how she hid. I'll tell you now, come over."

"Hey, why do you want me to come closer?" Seeing the smile of the beautifully dressed girl, Erin felt an ominous premonition in her heart.

……

Pain, pain, pain...

I just felt pain in my hand as if it had been burned by a fire.

When I endured the severe pain and opened my eyes, Irene was greeted by Miss Nancy's frightened expression and the expressionless face of the silver-haired maid beside her.Seeing Erin's waking up, Nancy was obviously relieved, and Eunika also moved her eyelashes imperceptibly.

Irene suddenly felt that compared to the little devil-like girl in gorgeous clothes who called herself "sister", this maid who expressed her emotions frankly was much more pleasing to the eye.

She raised her right hand to her eyes in pain. At this time, there was still a sharp pain in the palm of this hand, and there was nothing unusual on the surface.

Lend me your power... what the hell is it!

Irene's pale face was noticed by Nancy, and she asked with concern: "Miss Irene, I'm really sorry for getting you involved, is there any discomfort?"

"Were you attacked just now? What happened?" Eunika asked lightly.

"I'm fine." Erin shook her head. She tried her best to support her body from the bed, took a deep breath, and said to the two, "I know where the troublemaker is hiding!"

Eunika was stunned for a moment, her eyes showed surprise: "You know?"

Irene nodded vigorously, and repeated what the girl in the fancy dress told her: "Actually, the prisoner is not in this room, but he has a way to freely enter and exit this room, and he can escape in ways we can't think of at any time."

Eunika stared at Erin thoughtfully, but didn't answer for a while.

This ambiguous look made Irene a little apprehensive, until she got out of bed and walked in front of the speckled wall, she could still feel the real look behind her, and her scalp tingled.

"When you see the culprit later, I'll trouble Eunika to catch him."

Saying that, Erin bit the bullet, and put the painfully painful right hand on the wall.

Please, please, must succeed!Eileen said silently in her heart.

The moment the palm touched the wall, all the bloody spots on the wall trembled as if they had come to life.With Nancy's involuntary "ah", those bloody spots swirled and were absorbed by the touch of Irene's palm.

In just a short while, all the spots on the wall disappeared.At this time, Irene's right hand, which had absorbed all the spots, was already stained blood red, looking extremely terrifying.

At this time, the pain in her hand was more severe, and a slight sweat appeared on Erin's forehead, but she still endured it, and pressed her palm against the wall without saying a word.But I saw circles of ripples began to appear on the wall, trying to contend with the power of the magic power in Irene's palm, but they didn't last long after all.

Not long after, there was only a slight "bang" sound as if something was broken, and the wall in front of the three of them turned into something like a "water curtain". Through the flowing translucent wall, one could faintly see what was behind them. standing alone.It wasn't until this moment that the person behind the wall realized that something was wrong. After staring blankly at the three of them for half a second, he let out an exclamation of "Yeah" and crawled to the side with his head in his arms.

"Want to run?" Eunika caught up without thinking.

This is Erin's last memory of that night. In the next moment, she passed out due to mental and physical exhaustion. Before she lost consciousness, she couldn't help complaining...

Hey, why am I the only one who suffers so much?

Chapter 6 "Natural Witch" Jacqueline

Therefore, because Irene unfortunately fell into a coma again, the next day, when she woke up in the room where she usually slept in the palace, she was in a state of being confused about what happened yesterday.

When I met Unika after waking up, Erin questioned her because she was curious about how yesterday's incident ended, but unexpectedly, the maid lady's expression became rather strange, and she avoided Erin's question without saying a word.Afterwards, Irene went to ask Sisyana again, and seeing the embarrassment on the princess's face, she shook her head and said, "This matter is much more troublesome than imagined..."

"Huh?" Erin asked puzzled, "Didn't the troublemaker be caught by Eunika?"

"The prisoner was caught, but there is no way to deal with it." Sisyana said with a wry smile, "Speaking of which, her identity is quite special..."

Quite special?Could it be that there is an existence in Alice and this princess that Her Royal Highness dare not mess with?

Irene opened her curious eyes, but she heard Sisyana explain: "Her grandfather is Ruolin's 'King Guardian' lord. I heard that lord dotes on this granddaughter very much...so, even if the little guy After doing such an excessive thing, I can't decide to punish her."

Wakabayashi's "King Guardian"?

Erin remembered that Ruolin has a strong man who basically can't hide from the world, and he was included in the current "top ten people" on the mainland.It is said that he is more than 100 years old now, and few people have seen him. He will only show up when Wakabayashi is in danger. He is also known as Wakabayashi's "King Guardian".

The Wakabayashi Kingdom, located in the middle of the mainland, the land of the Four Wars, has hardly been involved in wars in the past 100 years, but still maintains its status as a powerful country. There is a considerable part of the reason. The state was quite afraid and did not dare to act rashly against Ruolin.

"His granddaughter, why do you want to cause trouble for Miss Nancy?" Irene couldn't help asking.

Sisyana said helplessly: "Maybe I'm jealous... This is also something that bothers me. I don't know if I should tell Brother Wang..."

It's rare to see Sisyana also have troubles, and Irene came to her senses after being slightly stunned: "That is to say, she was jealous of Nancy because of her admiration for His Royal Highness, and deliberately created something for her. Trouble?"

"Well, that's right." Sisyana nodded and continued, "What's more troublesome is that Miss Jacqueline's identity is very special... Originally, if Miss Jacqueline really liked her, and then If your majesty proposes to promise his granddaughter to the king, the father will definitely consider it carefully. However, since she is a 'natural witch', it is impossible to marry into the royal family in terms of status."

"A natural born witch?" Eileen recalled yesterday's "ghost bumping" experience, and asked with lingering fear, "Why can't she marry into the royal family?"

"Because of the church, in many people's minds, 'witch' is almost synonymous with treachery and evil, and there are many prejudices against it. If a member of the royal family combines with a recognized witch, not only the people will not understand , Ruolin will inevitably be punished by the Holy See." Sisyana paused, then said hesitantly, "However, there is another more important reason."

"What is it?" Erin asked.

Sisyana looked confused, and said softly: "Perhaps, the 'witch' is really a cursed existence. It is very dangerous for a person who becomes a witch to marry a man. If the union is forced, The man died young because of his unbearable health, such cases have happened many times in history... Moreover, due to her physical condition, the witch herself is unable to bear offspring, and cannot pass on the family line for the man."

Irene was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Miss Jacqueline, was she born a witch?"

"Yes." Sisyana nodded, "It is said that before giving birth to her, Jacqueline's mother was betrayed by a male nobleman, and she was born out of strong resentment, and she died miserably shortly after giving birth. Before she died, all the resentment in her heart was grafted onto her daughter, which caused Jacqueline to unfortunately transform into a witch at birth."

"That's it." Irene was a little emotional for a moment, and said softly, "It sounds a little pitiful."

But Sisyana patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't think too much, this Miss Jacqueline has a very naughty character, and no one dares to do anything to her. I have always Avoid her. You ruined her good deed this time, but be careful that she comes to seek revenge from you!"

"I'm not afraid." Irene said confidently, then she thought of something and asked again, "Yes, Miss Nancy, what should we do now?"

Sisyana smiled wryly and said, "What else can I do? Let's take refuge in the palace for a few days, and when Jacqueline is willing to calm down, let her go back... This is the only way to deal with this matter. "

Thinking of how hard it was for her to "show her talents" yesterday, but she passed out without even seeing the real master, Irene felt a little reconciled, and tried to say, "Where is Miss Jacqueline? What? I want to meet her, is that okay?"

On the other hand, maybe it was because of his sudden interest in "Witches"?

"Hey, what are you looking for with her?" Sisyana blinked.

Irene's cheeks were slightly red, and she said hesitantly: "Miss Jacqueline must have something to do with this kind of thing... I want to try, can I enlighten her or something..."

After finishing speaking, Irene quietly raised her eyes to look at Sisyana, only to see the other party burst out laughing, and joked: "I have explained so much to you, you are not scared at all! I I have to remind you, Jacquiline's "brilliant deeds" are countless, to persuade her or something, but even I am not willing to try things, if you insist on going to her, there is a great probability that... , ask, suffer, eat, oh!"

Irene gave the girl a weak look back, took a deep breath, and said, "If you have identified something of value, even if there are many difficulties, you should try to take a step forward."

"When will my sister be able to say such beautiful words?" Sisyana asked with her head tilted.

Erin replied angrily: "I learned this from my sister... Didn't you say similar things last time in Insterburg? I remember it clearly!"

"Okay, okay, I know what my sister thinks!" Sisyana said in a tone like coaxing a child, "Let Eunika take you to find her later, that piece of 'incandescent starlight' 'I'll leave it to you for self-defense. Anyway, come on!"
