Helen was gone in the blink of an eye. Aurelia stayed in the corner quietly as she stroked the thin blanket on herself
and felt warmth gush into her heart.
She had often chatted with her nomad neighbors back in Melorian in the past.
The nomads loved fortune-telling and all things supernatural. They said that destiny and fate among people were
just that, something that was beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature.
Meeting for the first time, some people felt as if they were old friends, and some people felt annoyed by each
other.
It was just like how Aurelia felt about Carmella and Helene. She did not like Carmella even though she was a queen.
While Helene had wounded her, she subconsciously defended her—Princess Lene was only muddle-headed and did
not hurt others intentionally…
Aurelia sighed and was occupied with ways to escape.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCarmella had actually let her leave the palace, but just as she left the queen’s palace, she met Victoria coming over
with her people. She bowed according to the etiquette, but a handkerchief covered her mouth and nose the
moment she straightened up. Then she passed out.
By the time she regained consciousness, she was already in the west palace. She felt her pocket—it was empty
without anything.
Her phone must still be in the main hall palace, but this was the west palace.
Aurelia looked up. Although this was also a palace, it was not that different from a prison. There were guards on the
door, so secure that not even a fly could escape.
However, there were not many servants inside. The maids were scared of Helene having another episode, and no
one was willing to stay there. All of them kept watch outside.
Aurelia bit her lips, helpless. She did not know where Helene had gone either, and she was the only one in the
spacious hall. It felt inexplicably unnerving.
It was then some footsteps echoed.
Aurelia’s heart lurched before she saw a maid come in with a bowl of medicinal soup.
“You’re…” The maid was a little puzzled, but realization struck her as she recalled that everyone was saying
Princess Victoria had brought somebody over and left after throwing her here. “You’re Aurelia?”
“You know me?” Aurelia was astonished.
The maid snickered and looked at her disdainfully. “Who doesn’t? Mr. Harris is Princess Victoria’s compatible match,
but you ruined it!”
“You…”
“Don’t think you can stay idle since you’re here!” The maid shoved the bowl to Aurelia. “Give this to Princess Lene!”
Aurelia was angered and was going to fight back when she heard noises at the door.
“This is the medicine for Princess Lene? Show me!”
Aurelia ran over excitedly as if she had met her savior when she heard the voice.

“Mr. Irwin, can you take me out since you can come in? Please, I don’t want to keep staying here!”
…
Cordelia went to the master bedroom after she tucked Zuko in. Zephyr was already showered and lying in bed,
looking at her with anticipation evident in his sculpted face.
“Not today.” She smiled and stroked his face as an apology.
Zephyr paused and sighed before he recovered to a normal sitting position. He grabbed the by the bed he
had not finished to flip through it.
Why did it feel like it had not even been that many times this month, and her period was here again?
Cordelia lay next to him and snuggled him. Zephyr placed the book down to wrap his arms around her and press a
kiss on her forehead.
“I wonder how Aurelia’s doing now,” Cordelia said softly. “Neil must be so anxious.”
“I heard dad say that he met Aurelia when he went to do a checkup for Princess Lene today. She’s locked in the
west palace, likely Victoria’s doing.”
“Why didn’t my dad take her out?”
