Chapter 213: The Daring Third Princess

When the third princess questioned the girl about her home, some of the kneeling people couldn't help but shudder with fright.

Not only were these two going to be ruined for being insolent, but the third princess didn't even plan to let their families go! It looked like the domineering and unreasonable reputation of the third princess wasn't exaggerated at all.

Cecilia gulped 'nervously' as she stared at the purple-haired girl. "W-We're from the southern forbidden city, princess."

The third princess didn't look too surprised. "Ah No wonder you are so insolent. A bunch of foreign barbarians, huh? Just lead me to the place you're staying at, this princess shall give you the opportunity to serve her today."

Cecilia bit her lip 'indignantly' but looked like she didn't dare to retort.

Of course, to Evelyn, it looked like she was trying to appear coquettish. She almost rolled her eyes. 'Miss, are you wronged, or trying to hook people?!'

The two of them could only helplessly get up and lead the princess up to their room.Updated chapters at novelhall.com

Fortunately, no one around dared to observe the situation too closely, for fear of offending the princess, otherwise their flaws would have been easily exposed.

The third princess motioned for the royal guards to stay outside, and had the 'scared and reluctant' Cecilia close the door.

The patrons of the inn finally heaved a sigh of relief once the princess disappeared from their sights.

Although most of them thought that the two girls who were bound to be humiliated by the third princess were unlikely to survive the ordeal, they neither had the strength nor will to affect the situation. After all, trying to save the beauty couldn't be considered worth it at all if they couldn't even reap the rewards afterwards. This wasn't some ruffian they could fight and scare away!

"Luckily, I survived"

Compared to the arrogant and aloof third princess she saw in Evelyn's ceremony all those years ago, this looked like a completely different person!

The pink-haired girl felt her lips twitch in both helplessness and amusement, but decided not to correct her addressing term, it didn't matter much to her anyway.

After using the eternal ripple to confirm that no one was spying on them, she nodded. "Why did you come here alone? Where's the puppet prince?"

Of course, it wasn't that she cared about him, but with his brain-dead state, it was far too risky to leave him unsupervised. If the royal family discovered his abnormality, it wouldn't bode well for either of them.

The third princess shivered, but she had no choice but to admit the truth under the pink-haired girl's imploring gaze. "I-I had to dispose of him, my Queen. That pompous brother of mine would never have missed the fencing trials in the palace, but the puppet could no longer boast or show off his talents m-my father was bound to get suspicious."

Evelyn frowned as she thought about it. "And how did you dispose of him? No one got suspicious?"

Whether he was favored or not, how could the death of a prince be considered a trivial matter? With the Emperor's control over the palace, Evelyn didn't believe it would be easy to fool him at all.

The purple-haired girl shuddered as she bowed her head lower, almost kowtowing in front of the younger girl. "F-Forgive me for making the decision on my own, my Queen!"

Evelyn sighed. "Just tell me how you did it first."

There was an audible gulping sound as the third princess looked up at her nervously. "I-I separated from him and informed father emperor that he had been very gloomy recently, and seemed to be plotting something, a-and then"

Her hands clenched at the hem of her ornate green dress as the purple-haired girl bit her lip. "L-Later... I-I had him sneak into the Emperor's bedchamber, a-and try to kill him!"

Evelyn couldn't help but take a deep breath in surprise. 'She really has the guts!'
