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

Darren's face was hidden in the darkness, somewhat obscure and difficult to discern, making him look even more terrifying.

"But brother, how can I rescue you in this state?"

Ian stared at his face. Six years ago, he threw his brother into the sea with his own hands, and then watched with his own eyes as the witch used magic to turn his brother into something that was neither human nor ghost. Ian swallowed.

"Darren, I was wrong back then. I apologize to you. Your face was damaged by the witch's magic. Although the witch is dead now, the damage caused cannot be undone unless... unless someone uses magic to heal you."

He had lived for twenty-six years and had only seen the witch as a magician. Ian was sure that Darren's face could not be cured.

The most urgent task is to deceive this innocent and kind brother and rescue him.

"Witch, trust me and teach me magic. Darren, save me and I will heal your scars and never betray you again!" Ian prayed humbly. He would be burned at the stake after the music festival.

Anyone who has anything to do with the devil is unlucky and will bring disaster to the entire city. All the karma on his body must be burned away with fire on the day when the sun is at its brightest.

Darren looked confused, and after a while he smiled softly: "When I sit on the throne, I will naturally... send my brother out."

Ian just felt that his brother was a stranger. Such a gloomy voice in the dungeon made him feel cold all over.

He fell to the ground, growling in despair.

Darren left the dungeon with a sullen face.

When they went out, several soldiers were already drunk and lying together in a mess. When someone saw Darren, no one reacted.

Darren knew that with his father away and his brother captured, the once well-trained, rule-abiding and orderly army had long been replaced by Will's men.

It was because the Marquis Will did not rule strictly that he was expelled from the army by the king. It was only because of his blood relationship that his title was retained.

If the country fell into Will's hands, it would be annexed by other neighboring countries within a year.

Darren's figure disappeared into the darkness, walking towards the castle step by step.

The familiar environment made him feel a little sad for a moment. It was clearly his home, but he could only come back secretly.

Darren touched the parliament hall. The news spread throughout the city about how the eldest prince and the witch used black magic in the secret room to harm innocent girls, but the door of the secret room had been sealed forever.

Just as he was trying to figure out a way to deal with the door, a patrolling soldier noticed something was wrong and rushed in, shouting, "Who's there?!"

Ian turned around quickly and the soldier was startled by him. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ian rushed to the window and jumped down without thinking.

The height of the second floor was nearly ten meters, but he was very agile. He used the protruding window on the first floor to relieve the force, rolled after landing, and ran away.

Behind him came the shouts of soldiers and the sound of trumpets, "Catch him!"

The castle soon became chaotic. Darren relied on his familiarity with the palace to dodge everywhere and was not caught by the soldiers for a while.

It was impossible to get out, so he could only find a hiding place first. Darren's eyes were fixed on the library next to the castle.

.

Library.

Gu Zhen, who was secretly flipping through a book, heard the noise getting closer and closer. He thought he was discovered and dropped a book in shock.

The thick book fell to the ground with a dull sound, but Gu Zhen's attention was not on it. She discovered that there was another mystery behind the book.

A bulge can be vaguely seen, like some kind of mechanism.

Just as she was about to press the button, a figure flashed in from the doorway. Gu Zhen quickly extinguished the simple fire starter in her hand, and the library was instantly plunged into darkness.

Darren didn't notice that there was anyone inside, he just wanted to hide here.

The soldiers soon caught up with them. Gu Zhen had already heard footsteps. She couldn't see who was coming, but she was sure that the soldiers were not chasing her. But if this continued, she would be implicated sooner or later.

Gu Zhen had finally waited for an opportunity like the music festival to sneak into the palace. She didn't want to miss the chance, so after thinking for a few seconds, she decisively pressed the button.

The bookshelf suddenly made a dull turning sound. The movement was not loud, but as it shook, several books fell down. Gu Zhen felt the bookshelf quickly changed direction, and she was thrown off the ladder by the force.

Gu Zhen thought she was going to have a bad fall this time, but the pain she imagined did not come. She only heard a muffled groan.

The cushion under her butt was quite sturdy. Gu Zhen quickly got up and lit the fire. Seeing a brazier on the wall, she lit it.

The wall formed by the bookshelves fits tightly together and should not be visible from outside.

Gu Zhen saw that man still lying on the ground, and he looked familiar, so he squatted down and patted him: "Hey, are you okay?"

Darren shook his head. He was fine, he just needed to take a break. At this time, he also recognized Gu Zhen's voice.

Gu Zhen also recognized him.

"Charlie..."

"Miss Anna..."

The two spoke at the same time and shut up at the same time.

Since he was someone she knew, Gu Zhen helped him up: "Why are you here? Are you the one the soldiers outside want to arrest?"

Darren felt embarrassed and scratched his head: "I'm sorry Miss Anna, I got you into trouble, I just..."

"Don't try to fool me with the excuse that you came into the palace out of curiosity," Gu Zhen chuckled, "Are you here to steal something? I took you in out of kindness, but I don't want the entire manor to be implicated because of you."

Darren was so anxious that he coughed a few times before he recovered: "Miss Anna, I'm not a thief. I went back to the palace for something important. I didn't steal anything here!"

Gu Zhen stared into his eyes without dodging out of guilt. Judging from the feedback from the housekeeper during this period, this person was down-to-earth and hardworking, had a good temper, and was a strong learner. He was not a bad guy.

But why did he return to the palace?

"You are hiding something," Gu Zhen narrowed her eyes, "I'll give you a chance to confess, or I'll hand you over to the guards!"

Darren pursed his lips in embarrassment: "I didn't hide it on purpose, I was just afraid of getting involved in the manor and bringing disaster to you."

An idea suddenly flashed through Gu Zhen's mind. "You are 24 years old this year? I heard from the housekeeper that you used to make a living by fishing?"

"Are you the second prince Darren?!"

Darren looked at Gu Zhen in surprise: "Ms. Anna, you are so smart. Can you guess this?"

Gu Zhen crossed her arms and looked at him: "Are you going back to the palace to find evidence to prove your identity? But as far as I know, there is no effective way to make everyone recognize your identity unless you restore your original appearance."

Darren touched his uneven face and said, "I know there is no way, but I want to see my father and mother. It has been six years. I miss them very much."

"Ms. Anna, I didn't know who I was for the past six years. The people in the village called me a monster. When I regained my memory that night, I had only one thought in my mind: I wanted to come back and see them."

The second prince was really miserable, but Gu Zhen accurately grasped a piece of information: "When did you recover your memory?"

Darren mentioned a date, and Gu Zhen thought about it and realized it was the early morning after the dance.

She broke her glass slipper.

The magic spell cured the prince’s amnesia, but why didn’t it remove the scars on his face as well?
