"I am so sorry, Prince. I'm not feeling well today, so I want to go back home soon. Next time, I will invite you to dinner to thank you for today." Alice politely lifted her skirt, and bowed slightly to say goodbye. “Remember to rest well. By the way, please extend my thanks to the Earl Weaver. I look forward to our next date with you.” Nelson Spence smiled softly, lifted Alice's small hand and kissed it gently. Immediately after, Katherine walked up to Alice from behind, bowed, and said sweetly: “It was a pleasure to talk with you today, my Prince. If there was a chance next time, Katherine would really like to talk with you about the topics you are interested in.” Nelson looked at the girl with a pure appearance and shiny black hair, softly expressing her admiration for him. He also smiled happily, saying: “Today is really interesting. Very few girls can make me feel as impressed as you did. The Earl Weaver is indeed very fortunate to have both a beautiful and attractive daug
Alice's carriage returned to the mansion quite late, and as soon as she arrived at the mansion, she noticed another carriage parked in the courtyard in front of the entrance. She recognized immediately that it was her mother's carriage the moment she laid eyes on it. Alice carefully got off the carriage and cheerfully went to find her mother. The butler bowed his head in greeting. “Miss Alice, welcome back.” “Has my mother returned? How long has she been back? Where is she now?” The butler replied: “My lady, the Marquise has just returned about a half an hour ago. She is currently in the workroom. She told me that when you come back, I will take you to rest.” Alice smiled and said: “I want to go see her. Please help me prepare some tea and cakes.” Hearing this, the butler hesitated to answer: “My lady… The Marquise is currently handling business and she is very busy. So I think you should rest first. You must be very tired today, too.” Today seemed to be another busy day for
The next morning, Alice was startled awake again in a state of panic:“Don't…Don't kill her! Ughh ... ah... Ahhh!!”That horrible dream was as clear as if she hadn't come back to life that day. Alice was still heavily haunted by the image of her mother being murdered by evil men. Those cold and callous faces were something Alice would never be able to forget. She had to definitely find them and make them pay this blood debt.Lily knocked on the door from outside:“Oh my god Miss Alice! Miss, did you hear what I said?! I’m Lily! What happened?! Please open the door for me, Miss Alice!!”Just as Lily was about to rush into the door herself, Alice opened it. Fortunately, Lily stopped in time, or else she would have rushed into Alice.“Miss!! I’m sorry... But are you okay? I heard the screams, so I was very worried. You locked the door from the inside again... Maybe there was a thief?! Where is he!!”Then Lily frantically rushed into the room to check the windows, under the bed and in the
After having breakfast, Alice asked her parents' permission to leave first. She needed to find a way to stop the nightmare that tormented her. Perhaps the herb shops run by Sirent could help her find some sort of tranquilizer.Lily helped her into the carriage and was about to return to her seat next to the driver when she was called back.“Lily, about today I went to the herb shop. Remember to tell everyone not to tell my parents. Especially my mother. I don't want to see her worry more about me.”“I understand, miss.”Not long after, the carriage entered Bing Street — the capital Lumière. The street was in the middle of the busy, noisy, bustling with traffic; large buildings close together with large eye-catching signs; or the flow of people dressed in colorful and luxurious costumes. This was where a large number of merchants and the middle-to-upper classes lived and played. Looking at the familiar, bustling street where Alice used to shop, walking around to every store big and sm
The man had chestnut brown hair that was neatly combed, revealing a wide forehead and warm dark brown eyes. His face is good-looking, when he smiles, he is really gentle and sweet, easily making women yell 'aw' shyly, especially the corner of his mouth when smiling will appear two very attractive dimples. The tall figure was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt inside. The collar was simply designed, and two special buttons were attached on both sides. Outside, he wore a dark blue vest with white brocade strips were sewn along the buttons that looked like fairy dust, scattered and eye-catching. The two sides of the vest's buttons were neatly closed, with a combination of small fashion chains connecting them, snugly hugging the waist. Combined with long trousers with parallel stripes and valuable shiny leather shoes, the man's well-proportioned figure stood out. Joseph lifted Alice's hand, kissed it lightly, and smiled. "We haven't seen each other for four days, but you already miss m
Alice returned, just in time to meet the servants carrying her luggage at the door. She let out a breath and fortunately came back in time, otherwise it would be too late. Alice got out of the carriage, walked up to her mother and said: "I'm sorry. Luckily, it arrived just in time. I thought we wouldn't leave until the afternoon." Irene stroked Alice's head. She replied: "It's okay Alice, I'm just making preparations in advance. When you come back, we'll leave at that time. So now, shall we go?!" "I'm ready." Alice and her mother got on the carriage again and headed to the northern front line. The journey from the Rothnor mansion to the army camp that was being held took more than a day. Alice's return was still quite early. With a little calculation, it could be reached by tomorrow evening. At that moment, Irene took out a piece of paper from the box in the carriage, slowly read it, and marked it. She stated: "Joseph is back. I don't know if you guys have met yet?" "I met an
After completing the reservation, Alice was escorted upstairs to the second floor to check in. Lily was also allowed to stay with Alice to take care of her injured ankle. Her mother's room was opposite, and the rest of them were on the same floor, close together. Make sure that they could immediately rush over to see the situation if something happened. Irene was relieved when the doctor came to check on Alice and determined that only her ankle was injured. "An unexpected incident happened, causing you to be injured and making travel inconvenient. Although the road to the army barracks is not too far away, I still don't feel secure about taking you with me." When Alice heard that, she was about to speak, but was interrupted by Irene: "No matter what you say, I won't be able to take you with me. Your father will definitely blame me for letting you get hurt. Besides, as you've heard, the war for the land has already begun. It's impossible to know what dangers await us there. So ple
The foothills of Dan Mountain, where a struggle was taking place between the north and south banks. After opening the tunnel wide enough to go through the foot of the young Dan mountain, the South Vietnamese army installed and designed the tunnel to avoid collapsing in the event of a great earthquake. Since then, they have built and gradually approached the wire mesh fence that the Northern army has prepared right next to the tunnel door."You should be prepared to take your skirts and run home to cry with the king! This thin, light-and-tear fence is nothing!""Yes! If you were afraid to withdraw now, we wouldn't consider it a disgrace. Because your northern army is as weak as women, and women should stay at home to cook and do laundry!"“Ha ha ha!”The southern army stood right at the fence, gloating and defaming one another. They liked to annoy their opponents because, for a long time, the Northern army always referred to the Southern troops as "loud empty barrels". "You fools! You
