Had Aurelia really left then?
“Alexander, since we’re at this point, I might as well let you know.” Carmella heaved a long sigh. “I do want to pair
your sister up with Neil, and I hope Aurelia’s able to leave Southeast Aciatic on her own accord, but the girl didn’t
agree to it. I can’t possibly force her, can I?
“Don’t worry. I know what I should and shouldn’t do. It’s not worth it to offend the Harris family over Aurelia!”
Alexander looked skeptical but nodded.
Carmella waved a hand to dismiss him, and her brows knitted into a frown after she calmed down.
Where had Aurelia gone? Did she run into someone else after she left her place?
Carmella’s heart pounded as a name flashed in her mind.
“Call for Princess Victoria!” she asked loudly.

Aurelia curled up in the corner of the wall. The only feeling this place gave her was cold.
White walls, white room, a white rug, and even the window frames were white. This was like a world of ice.
Southeast Aciatic was a sweltering summer, but she was trembling here.
The woman on the bed slowly sat up and watched her with a curious gaze. A while later, the woman copied her and
hugged her arms around curled-up knees to sit there like a ball.
Aurelia took a deep breath. Terror consumed her like hundreds and thousands of worms. The woman probably did
not recognize her anymore, but she could recognize the woman.
It was the woman who had charged out on the day of Cordelia and Zephyr’s wedding. It was the woman who had
stabbed a fork in her wrist!
Aurelia backed down as much as she could until her back hit the wall, and cold numbness spread through her limbs.
“Hey…” Helene made a hoarse sound from her throat.
Aurelia was helpless as she looked back fearfully. Helene watched her dumbly for some time before she suddenly
got up to fetch a blanket and stumbled toward her.
“Ah, don’t come over!” Aurelia cried and instinctively hugged her head with her hands, closing her eyes.
It was as if Helene did not hear her. She draped the blanket over her and piled it on her back.
Aurelia trembled, and her mind went blank. It was after a long time that she heard a voice as if it came from the
sky. “It’s not cold now… It’s not cold anymore…”
Aurelia froze. She looked up slowly and was greeted by the woman’s pale but beautiful face smiling at her.
“It’s not cold now. It’s not cold now…
“Wear this, and it’s not cold anymore…”
Aurelia was puzzled. The woman had gone crazy that day, but she knew to care for her today. Knowing that it would

“Hello.” She tried to communicate with the woman. “I’m Aurelia Chilton. You… You’re Princess Lene?”
Helene smiled and trained her unfocused gaze on Aurelia’s hair. She pointed at it, then at her own hair, fell in a
daze for a bit, and grinned even wider.
“Hair! Same… hair!”
Aurelia smiled as well.
Both of them had the same long chestnut-colored hair. It was just that Aurelia’s was lustrous and smooth, but
Helene’s was like hay like her slowly withering life.
“I heard you’re the king’s younger sister, so you’re the princess?” Aurelia looked around with her big eyes. “This
palace is gorgeous, but the color sends chills to one.
“Do you like white a lot?” Aurelia chuckled. “What a coincidence, me too! But I’ve always worn the nomads’ long
dresses in the past. Their clothes are super colorful. I didn’t have a chance to wear white.”
Helene listened, not showing if she understood or not. Her eyes suddenly brightened when she heard Aurelia’s last
sentence.
“Wear white?” She gave it a thought and sprang up, cracking a grin.
