Quick Wear: Who said soft girls have to be obedient! biu!

The witch got up from the ground, her body shaky. She raised her magic wand and waved it quickly a few times, ready to attack again.

Gu Zhen kicked off her high heels and ran away.

Balls of aggressive light bloomed behind her. If it weren't for Gu Zhen's agility, she would have been hit countless times.

The noise of the fight was so loud that the castle guards were attracted. Gu Zhen looked back and saw Prince Ian and a large group of people approaching the garden. Perhaps the witch said something, and Ian pointed in the direction she left. The guards held spears and shields and ran towards her quickly.

Gu Zhen quickly entered the castle.

The hall was filled with noise, but the prince was slow to come and start the dance, so the guests could only chat with their wine glasses in hand.

Gu Zhen slipped into the crowd.

The guards arrived quickly and looked around, but there were so many girls wearing golden dance dresses tonight that they couldn't find Gu Zhen for a while.

After a while, Ian also arrived. He placed his hand on the sword at his waist and patrolled the hall with his eyes narrowed.

Gu Zhen hid behind an earl, took off her hat, and quietly inserted the thorns into her bundled hair.

Ian only saw a silhouette's back. It was dark at night and he couldn't see the whole picture even with the help of the light. The witch was so weak that she had fled back to the secret room and couldn't come out to identify him.

He could only find it by intuition.

When His Royal Highness the Prince entered the ballroom, all the guests gathered around him unconsciously. Ian looked at the various dance dresses, and there were no less than twenty girls in golden yellow dresses alone.

Who on earth is it?

For some reason, an aloof little face, a face covered in blood, appeared in his mind.

Ian waved behind him, and the captain of the guard came forward with a tray with two pairs of shoes on it.

A pair of sparkling, exquisite and gorgeous crystal dancing shoes and a pair of ordinary golden high heels.

Gu Zhen shrank back.

"Ladies and gentlemen, a beautiful lady has lost her shoes, and now I want to find her." Ian pointed at the pair of yellow high heels and smiled gently and gentlemanly.

Catherine felt that the shoes looked familiar. They seemed to be the shoes her daughter Anna wore today. She looked around but couldn't find her daughter.

Catherine was a little excited.

But these shoes were bought in a store in the city and might not belong to her daughter. Catherine began to get anxious and was eager to find where her daughter was.

Gu Zhen was still hiding behind the fat earl, looking for a way to escape.

Just in front of her stood Ella, surrounded by rats and lizard servants.

Ella stood there in astonishment, unable to believe that the man she had such a pleasant conversation with that night was actually the prince.

She guessed belatedly that she had offended the prince that day, so the witch came to punish her today.

Ian also noticed Ella. He smiled and pointed, "Ms. Duke Charles, why are you not wearing shoes?"

All the guests' eyes were on Ella's bare feet, which were covered in dirt and blood.

Following her feet, they looked at the dance skirt, and finally exclaimed in unison: "What a beautiful lady."

Ella's steps were uncontrollable as she walked towards the prince step by step.

Ian picked up the pair of crystal shoes, not caring about Ella's appearance at the moment. He knelt on one knee, put Ella's feet on his knee, and gently put on her the pair of crystal shoes that symbolized her status as a prince consort.

It was a warm and romantic scene, and Korra's heart sank to the bottom.

Her feet were in pain. The crystal shoes seemed to be glued to her feet as soon as she put them on. The cold and hard touch caused her to feel excruciating pain in the wounds.

"Very suitable." Ian had already chosen the person, and now it was just a formality. He bent his head and kissed the back of Ella's foot. "Beautiful lady, please dance the first dance with me."

The audience was silent for a few seconds, but soon burst into warm applause.

Only then did Catherine recognize Ella. She looked around anxiously and finally found her daughter hiding behind an earl!

She rushed over and pulled Gu Zhen out: "Anna! Why does Ella have a dance dress to wear?! She is going to be the prince's wife, she will definitely take revenge on us!"

Gu Zhen didn't have time to pay attention to her. The guards were holding the pair of yellow high heels and checking one by one. All the ladies wearing yellow skirts could not escape the inspection.

She looked at the hem of Catherine's skirt. If the sizes of mother and daughter weren't so different, she would have borrowed Catherine's shoes to pass the inspection, but this was obviously not realistic now.

The guards are not stupid.

Gu Zhen decided to leave the dance hall. She must find an opportunity to kill the witch tonight, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

"Mom, I need to go to the bathroom. You...please be careful."

Catherine was confused and couldn't stop her hurried daughter, but she noticed that her daughter's feet were exposed under her skirt when she walked, and she was not wearing shoes.

She was shocked. Are those shoes really her daughter's?

Catherine shook her fan in panic. The prince still used the crystal shoes to choose his wife, so why did he ask the guards to search for the whereabouts of the owner of the high heels?

The guards looked unfriendly and were all rude.

It’s definitely not a good thing!

Sure enough, a guard spotted Gu Zhen who was trying to blend into the crowd and walk out.

"Catch her!" The captain of the guards waved his hand, "Try to minimize the commotion."

Gu Zhen looked back and immediately started running. At this time, many people had already joined the dance. They danced gracefully and kept changing their dance postures and exchanging movements.

Someone also took the initiative to invite Gu Zhen to dance. Gu Zhen kept changing dance partners while dancing, and soon she reached the entrance of the spiral staircase.

Gu Zhen bent down and squeezed under the arm of a tall man, then ran towards the parliament hall on the second floor.

The throne is there.

Her movement upstairs attracted Ian's attention. He grabbed Rilla's slender waist and pulled her close to him, whispering affectionately in Rilla's ear: "Dear, your sister Anna is very naughty and has caused me a lot of trouble."

Ella was turned around by him and found that Gu Zhen had gone upstairs.

Ian let go: "I'm going to catch this disobedient little thing. Miss Rilla, stay still. There will be a surprise waiting for you tonight."

After saying that, he left with a group of guards. After thinking about it, Rilla followed him.

At this time, Gu Zhen had just run to the second floor. In contrast to the hustle and bustle downstairs, the second floor was empty. The rooms on both sides of the long corridor were closed, but the council hall at the end had its door open, like a beast with its huge mouth open, waiting for its prey to fall into its trap.

Gu Zhen listened to the footsteps behind him, changed direction and continued running to the third floor.

The castle was very large, with many rooms. Gu Zhen walked barefoot on the carpet without making any noise. She pushed open a door at random, and with the moonlight coming in through the window, she could see that it was a torture room full of torture instruments.

All kinds of famous torture instruments from the Middle Ages are available here.

Coffin torture, human-shaped spiked iron frame, pointed stool, wicker man...

The smell of blood wafted into Gu Zhen's nose and he almost felt like vomiting.

The book mentioned that during the year when Ella and Ian battled wits and courage, many disgusting and erotic things happened in this room.

The prince is perverted and crazy, and has a morbid fascination with killing.

All the slaves he captured died tragically under various torture instruments.

Gu Zhen continued walking along the corridor, pushing open every door. The guards were still searching on the second floor. Ian probably thought she was going after the witch and was preparing to focus on checking the hiding place near the throne.

The rooms on the third floor are basically the private collections of His Royal Highness the Prince, which contain torture instruments and various armors and weapons.

There was only one room that made Gu Zhen's hair stand on end.
