Fortunately, the bandaging task was not difficult.
Nora gently moved closer to the wound, dissolving the ointment with her warm breath.
The sensitive body seemed to turn red in an instant.
Nora looked at Grace with some confusion.
She closed her eyes, the muscles around her cheeks were tense, as if she was enduring something.
Nora calmly bandaged the wound and applied the fixing tape.
"That's enough, Your Highness."
After doing all this, Nora finally stepped back from the bed and stood up straight.
Grace stared at Nora with her red eyes and asked:
"Nora, I'm thinking about something. Your eyes turned red that day because you were cursed by the 'Soul Stealer', right?"
"Yes."
Grace asked as she quickly buttoned up her shirt to hide the skin exposed at the neckline.
"So why did you stop at the last minute? You should have killed me."
The sharp and clear eyes seemed like some kind of question.
Nora had nothing to explain, so she bent down again and explained,
"I'm very sorry about this, Your Highness."
"When the curse takes effect, people will lose their minds and attack others indiscriminately. It will only stop when they see bright red blood."
“Did you see blood…?”
Grace's eyes became serious. She pinched her chin with her slender index finger and fell into deep thought.
"When will your next attack occur?"
"I don't know. It could be the next second or tomorrow."
Nora reported the truth.
Curses would be easier to deal with if they had a pattern.
But it is doing unknown things at unknown times that is the curse.
"I see."
Grace narrowed her eyes slightly, and while she was thinking, she had already thought of the next way to crack the problem.
Grace's flushed cheeks revealed her pale weakness. She had been tortured to the point of being on the verge of death and unconscious...
"Your Highness, rest easy. It's snowing outside the window."
Nora couldn't help but open her mouth. She looked gloomily at the Witch's Window which was covered with a layer of hazy white frost.
The rustling snowflakes outside the window fall quietly to the earth, turning the black and gray world into pale white.
Snow in early spring is not a good sign.
Grace followed her gaze to the window and asked softly:
"Nora, do you like snow very much?"
Most people in the world have an indescribable yearning for beautiful things like snowflakes.
Grace thought that Nora should be no exception.
But Nora gave a surprising answer, "No."
"why?"
Nora seemed to have seen the future through the snow, "They are cruel, cruel without warmth."
"This is the fifth snowfall in the Empire this year. The cold snap in the spring is undoubtedly a nightmare for farmers who make a living from planting."
"So the reason you asked me to get an advance on my salary is also related to the snow?"
"That's clever, your highness. But there's nothing noteworthy about it."
Nora began to change the subject in a cold tone, her face also cold.
It seemed to have touched upon a part of Nora that she didn't want to be pried into...
How can two introverts become close?
Grace didn't know.
She also didn't know that if people are on the same wavelength, they will have an inescapable attraction.
Even without words, just a look can exchange sincere hearts.
What's more, the long-term details of life are like the gentle spring breeze and rain, which can subtly bring people closer together.
"Really? Nora..."
Grace was keenly aware of the change in mood. She snuggled into the bed like a cat and looked out the window from afar.
"Nora, while you are refining medicine, you can read some recipes or fairy tales. When the snow is rustling, it is time to listen to the stories and light the fireplace."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Nora obeyed the orders without hesitation, like a knight loyally guarding the princess.
She pulled out an unsigned novel from the bookshelf, "The Prince's Revenge", picked it up and sat on the desk, reading it to Grace in a soft voice as if she was reading at night.
"A long time ago, there was a lonely little prince. He was about to inherit the entire rich kingdom, but a giant dragon fell from the sky and destroyed the kingdom's majestic castle. The prince drew his sword and planned to stab the dragon with one sword..."
The air was quiet, the atmosphere flowing was just right, and the temperature in the room made people feel warm.
A snowy night, a fireplace, two people, and a story.
Nora looked at the figure lying on the bed and felt an unprecedented peace in her heart.
The quiet and gentle voice, like a lullaby, made the exhausted Grace fall into a drowsy dream...
As she felt her eyelids getting heavier, she wondered vaguely - should she use magic to secretly go see Afro tomorrow?
----------
I'm a bit stuck at the moment and wanted to speed up the Nora line.
But when I think about it, the good thing about the master-servant relationship is the contract and tacit understanding that are developed over a long period of time.
The secret inferiority complex and restraint were suddenly broken one day, and finally led to the rebellion of the superior.
And for his most trusted servant, the master who has committed a heinous act, the master who controls everything, the confusion and panic of being suddenly offended, as well as the helplessness of being overwhelmed, are also worth savoring.
So I slowed down the pace a little bit.
117. Put the front part into the cup and stir-fry the back part
"Your Highness Grace, if you go to see Miss Aphrodite, you can use illusion for the time being."
Nora's voice came from her ears, and Grace hurriedly withdrew her gaze from the church.
The Church of St. Walter was the tallest building in the vicinity, so Grace could see the tall triangular spire even from four blocks away.
Koda Casino is located in the commercial district, where the streets are much more luxurious than the civilian streets.
The pedestrians passing by are well-dressed, the roads are wide, exquisite carriages are passing by, and the shops on the street are also full of the luxurious style of the old Rhine aristocracy.
"No. Now it's time to get down to business."
Grace turned around neatly, and her wide cloak swayed in the air.
The girl looked up at the three-meter-high pure white marble building in front of her.
Koda Casino is no longer the magnificent it once was.
There were only a few guards at the entrance of the casino, leaning against the wall and chatting boredly.
Its door was open, and the intricately carved exterior was surrounded by a black seal representing a warning, as well as a large "Closed for Rectification" sign.
The fourth floor, which was originally used for VIPs to rest, was blackened and dilapidated in the fire.
"Anna."
Grace turned to look at Nora.
In order to cooperate with Grace's actions, Nora deliberately changed into a winter maid outfit, as if Nora was born for the maid outfit.
The black and white lace fits perfectly on the girl's delicate body.
There was still a coldness on his expressionless face that no one could fathom, and he had a nonchalant feeling that seemed like he could accomplish anything perfectly and effortlessly.
"I'm here."
Nora folded her hands in front of her stomach, pretending to listen attentively.
Grace tucked her cloak in and ordered confidently,
"When the time comes, no matter what happens, you only need to follow my orders and use illusions. Do you understand?"
Thinking back to Her Highness Grace's plan, Nora nodded, "Yes, Miss Aisha."
Elsa and Anna were the disguise names agreed upon by the two. The purpose of coming to Koda Casino this time was to blackmail, so of course it was impossible for them to use their real names.
Grace's knowledge of the Koda Casino only existed from the information provided by Caroline.
The casino owner, Donald Upton, 42 years old, is a branch of the Donald family. He has no noble title and has three children, two boys and one girl.
This is just the information on the surface. The real casinos are controlled by powerful nobles who own family crests.
The casino is closed and there are fewer gold coins in his pocket. Donald Upton must be under tremendous pressure from his boss behind him, so he must be extremely anxious now.
Where there are emotions there are flaws.
"Hold the umbrella, Anna."
Grace curled her lips slightly, and she saw her own outfit on the shiny, translucent gold wall, as if she was looking in a mirror.
The gorgeous dress is pure black like a witch, and the drooping black gauze skirt is inlaid with sequins, and when you walk in it, it looks like a starry sky in the night sky.
Because of the illusion, Grace's appearance was completely different from her original appearance.
The fiery red hair is like a burning flame, the golden eyes are deep, and the charming and amorous appearance reveals fascinating danger all the time.
With a snap, a white umbrella opened, and the sunlight coming down from the sky was slightly blocked.
Grace hooked the black seal with her cane and walked gracefully up the steps.
She stopped in front of the three-meter-high casino gate and smiled at a shorter guard outside the gate.
"Mr. Knight, please tell our boss, Mr. Upton Donner, that the savior he has been waiting for has arrived."
The voice is slightly frivolous.
Of course, this is to distinguish it from Grace's usual coldness.
As the security guard of such a large casino, observing people's words and expressions is an essential skill.
The eyes of the two guards met in the air.
The tall young security guard, wearing a red and black guard uniform and a black soft hat, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Grace's clothes carefully.
Grace's gorgeous clothes and elegant manners did not at all look like someone who came here to cause trouble or to cheat.
The young guard hesitated for a moment, then nodded and smiled politely.
"Please wait a moment."
Then he whispered something to his companion, turned around and went in to report.
……
"Donald, you bought that woman a gem worth five thousand gold coins. Don't think I don't know. I don't care how many lovers you have, but tell her not to take a penny of the money."
When the wife slammed the door and left after the quarrel, she almost roared and left these words.
Casino owner Donald Upton has been having a rough time lately.
Not only that, there was also a bizarre explosion at the casino.
To be honest, the magic explosion was already outrageous enough, and the missing person turned out to be the fifth princess.
