There is a perfect saint around, no matter it is true or not, it is very tiring. I understand the people around Princess Elise too much.

For a salted fish, what is the scariest thing?

It's not the crumb boss who wants to hang street lamps, and it's not the unreasonable KPI, but the perfect colleagues around you.In the words of Mr. Lu Xun, just standing there can show your "littleness".

Who would like to be hung up and beaten every day on the high ground of morality, being rendered useless by the foil!Saints have always been enshrined in shrines, while human beings have always lived on the soil.

It's a very vulgar truth, but it's very true, so sometimes, exposing one's own little flaws can actually integrate into the group faster.

What's more, according to Lucas's instinct, Elise is probably a false saint.

What, you say Lucas is jealous?Haha, I laughed so hard, he is the only one who needs to be jealous?

"If Princess Elise has been a disguise since she was a child, then who will know her true face?" I asked, "To whom can she show her true nature unscrupulously? Trusted relatives and friends? No, like her Such people, the closer they are to the people they care about, the less they dare to show a single flaw in front of them."

"It must be someone she can control and even erase at any time, but since she wants to vent, that person must be very close." I followed Lucas' line of sight and looked out the window.

There were a few court ladies carrying things.

"Whether it's Manan or Polita, the personal maids of the royal family and the guards in the palace are all from the background of minor nobles, no, no, she will not take this risk, even if she can use an accident to prevaricate, but she will never allow the people around her People have 'misfortunes' that happen and don't allow their image to be questioned in the slightest."

I looked at Lucas: "Think carefully, is there anyone beside Princess Alice who has a low status, but stayed for a long time, and was finally transferred away without a sound, and there was no news."

Lucas closed his eyes and nodded: "Yes, I remember."

"That happened five or six years ago. There was a little cook's daughter who offended Mrs. Wang, and was almost kicked out of the palace by Mrs. Wang, who was born in a famous family but had a bad temper. It happened that Mrs. Wang was there and rescued the girl. I will keep her by my side. But because of her identity, she is not qualified to be the princess's personal maid, so she is responsible for arranging Sister Wang's shoes."

In addition to a few maids of noble origin, members of the royal family also have a series of servants with various names, from maids who specialize in cleaning shoes, managing spring, summer, autumn and winter clothes, and arranging various hats, to those who cut steaks, pour wine, The servants responsible for serving bread, etc., it is estimated that there is a service team of dozens of people.

I am sick of this, but royal families and great nobles of all countries act like this.

"Sister Wang doesn't have any personal hobbies. In other words, her hobbies are also for people to admire and praise, but with one exception, she likes beautiful shoes. She has hundreds of pairs of shoes. Who knows, I never look at them anyway. She wore the same pair of shoes twice."

"Uh, I remember that you don't wear royal clothes for the second time."

"It was a formal occasion, and I don't even care about formal occasions. She even wears different shoes in the morning, afternoon and evening, and even changes to a more suitable pair when she accompanies her mother to embroider."

... I knew that every mentally abnormal person will eventually have an outlet.

"The girl worked as a 'shoe maid' for two years. Until three years ago, after Sister Wang got engaged, she also reached the age of marriage. Sister Wang also prepared a generous dowry for her and asked her mother to take her Go back and get married."

"I'll just say it straight, Lucas, why do you remember it so clearly? Don't you know every maid of Princess Elise like the back of your hand?" If he said yes, then the little prince is quite perverted, although he originally I like gossip.

Lucas twitched the corners of his mouth, and said helplessly, "I'm fine, what are you doing to stare at the maid next to my sister?"

I shrugged my shoulders, and said seriously: "You know people, you know your face, but you don't know your heart, Your Highness."

"...I remember her because one day I sneaked out of the palace to play, and when I sneaked back at night, I heard her crying in the corner of the garden where there was no one, shaking while crying, about three years ago, I asked What's wrong with her, she said she missed her younger siblings at home, so I didn't think much about it."

"Her name seems to be, um, Anna. Looking back now, the way Sister Wang spoke recently is indeed very similar to Anna in the past. Because she was very thin, her nose would run when the wind blows, so there will be a slight sound at the end of her speech." nasal sound."

"I remember the day after she met me, Sister Wang casually mentioned something during breakfast, saying that she would let the shoe maid next to her go home on vacation for three days."

At first glance, these words are indeed quite normal, but once you think about the true face behind Princess Elise, this story is a bit chilling.

If Alice is really so gentle and considerate, why didn't Anna directly ask the princess for a holiday?Why did she hide in a place where no one was crying and trembling secretly?

What was even more frightening was that Lucas asked casually, and the next day, Alice put him back, and even mentioned it during the meal, did she say it specifically to her younger brother?Then how did she know that Lucas met Elise at night and talked about going home?

Lucas is the envoy of the Eight Rings. Could it be possible that Alice could send someone to follow him?Since she didn't follow Lucas, she must have pressed Anna. Princess Alice's desire to control has reached such a level that she even needs to know who the shoe maid said to?

Thinking about it is horrifying and suffocating. Jarno has never treated me like that. He is still an evil god.

"Anna's mother is the cook in the palace, so is she still there?"

"It should be there, but I don't go to the kitchen very much... If I go, the whole palace will know about it in 10 minutes."

Alright, I understand, let me go by myself, the seed of injustice is actually myself.

However, looking at Lucas' poor little face, which was still pale, I didn't say anything.Anyway, as long as the keyword "rabbit" is not triggered, there shouldn't be a big problem, and Anna doesn't look aggressive at all.

The kitchen of the royal palace is very large, filled with all kinds of ingredients and semi-finished products. In addition to supplying royal family members and noble people, the cooks are also responsible for eating and drinking for everyone else, but the two kitchens are separated.

The big kitchen belongs only to the owner of the Rose Palace, and the narrow small kitchen is crowded with three or four middle-aged women, who are busy in front of the steaming cauldron, cooking meals for all the servants of the Rose Palace.

Among them is Anna's mother, a woman in her 40s, but she looks like an old woman in her 60s and [-]s, her straw-yellow hair is dyed white, her hands are muscular, but the wrinkles on her face are loose and collapsed, like raw stuffing. The crust of the pie.

She repeatedly wiped her hands on the apron, revealing the flattering and stiff smile that ordinary people have when they face dignitaries: "What does this master want?"

In the name of Lucas, I took Anna's mother out. The palace garden is well-maintained, with blooming roses and green grass. There are fountains and lakes not far away. You can faintly see a few white peacocks taking a leisurely walk. .

"I'm Joseph Jonas, madam. I want to ask about Anna's situation. I heard that she went home and got married. How is she doing now?" I thought for a while and added, "His Royal Highness Lucas Tian suddenly thought of her, and said that there was a relationship before."

Anna's mother's expression became even more rigid. She continued to wipe her hands on the apron, repeatedly, and her old palms turned red. She replied in a low voice and respectful voice: "His Royal Highness still remembers Anna, this is really, this is really..."

Her shallow vocabulary made her unable to find any words to describe it. I watched her quietly, waiting for her to finish speaking.

"But Anna is too unfortunate. She died of illness more than a month after she got married. Her Royal Highness even sent someone to visit her. Unfortunately, she still couldn't hold on. She is really too unfortunate, and we are too unfortunate."

I feel that the person opposite is like a version of Xianglin's wife from another world, repeating the same sentence over and over again.

"I'm sorry, please express your condolences," I bowed earnestly, "but please recall, before Anna's illness and death, was there anything unusual?"

Anna's mother became suspicious: "Why do you ask such a question, master, what happened?" Although she is uneducated, it does not mean that she is a fool. This woman with rich experience in life at the bottom is actually more sensitive than most people. .

I hesitated for a moment, but chose to believe her.

Over the years, my Undead Brotherhood has dealt with the poor in the West District a lot. There are indeed many cunning people at the bottom. It is often said that the poor are not trustworthy and they have no spirit of contract.

But most of the time, I would rather deal with them than push glasses with the nobles at a banquet, because at least the poor will directly show their knives to rob you and lie to you, instead of smiling on the surface, but behind their backs. I want to push you into the abyss of eternal doom, and there will be no chance to get up in this life.

"When Anna was serving Princess Alice, she was not very happy, right?" I looked into the eyes of the old woman calmly, "You also know that Prince Lucas is a person favored by all gods, and he himself He is a powerful sorcerer, and the reason why he thinks of Anna is because...he found out that a catastrophe may have happened to Anna."

The cook's eyes were blank and empty, and she never looked directly at me, and every fold of her face was trembling.

"How could it be? This is really unfortunate. My Anna was involved in a disaster. My Anna is really unfortunate."

"Madam, if the catastrophe is not resolved, the souls of the dead will never rest in peace. Their resentment will devour everything until it consumes their own soul. You often go to church, and you should have heard the priest of Xinghai Church say these things."

In the promotion of evil gods and catastrophe events, the major orthodox churches can be said to spare no effort.

"Mr. Jonas," the mother looked up, looking at me with numb and sad eyes, "Is Mr. Carl at the port one of your subordinates?"

Well, she knows the brown bear spirit?

I hesitated for a moment, finally nodded, and said helplessly: "He is quite rough, but there is no malice."

"No, that's not the case. Mr. Carl rescued us. He has been helping people in the West End all these years. Although I work in the palace, I originally came from the West End. I have three younger sisters and a younger brother there. They have a lot of kids too."

The cook seemed to want to smile, but she couldn't make this expression: "If the calamity is resolved, will the undead be released and return to the embrace of the Lord?"

Uh, actually no, after the catastrophe event is over, the residual power of the soul that caused the event will be sucked into the catastrophe item, and finally sealed by the church, or used by mages to ascend the ring and eat it, or become a catastrophe after eating people. Demon, but the Demon of Misfortune is not the same person after all.

Like in the case of the Baron Bode in the High Mountain Territory, only a very small part of them were temporarily trapped by the altar of the evil god.

"At least she won't be trapped in eternal hopeless pain and resentment."

"...Alright, then my Anna won't cry anymore."

"That was the day before leaving the palace. Anna told me that she saw a stone wall in the palace with some strange things painted on it. She made a wish on the stone wall and died a month after returning home. gone."

"I should have known, when she was working for the princess, she was never happy, she cried a few times. She also took home a pair of red shoes at one point, saying the princess gave her, but she never through."

"My eyes are not very good, and I should be kicked out of the palace in a few years, but my nose is good, and I can smell the blood on those shoes. Anna is always hurt, but I never I asked her who hurt her."

The woman cried and covered her face in shame: "Maybe I knew who it was from the beginning, but I thought that if I didn't ask, I could pretend that this matter didn't exist, and I could change from a low-level cook's daughter to Shoe maid of the princess, how lucky my Anna is, how lucky she is..."

I didn't know what to say and finally just handed the old woman a handkerchief.

Anna died, this is a definite thing, so whoever played the fake princess, it can never be human, and it should not be undead, but Anna did come back.

The first sentence of Chapter 7 of the holy scriptures——God said that whoever hurts you without reason will be reciprocated to him; whoever hurts innocent people will be repaid by him in equal measure. This is the sin you deserve.

Anna didn't know how, but probably it was the stone wall, and the wish she made came true.Homogeneous revenge, equal exchange, so Anna became Princess Alice, and Princess Alice became a rabbit wearing red shoes.

The only thing that didn't make sense was that the rabbit was more aggressive than the non-human Anna.

The bewildered Bishop Clough, the nobles, and even Lucas himself were all because of the cognitive distortion inherent in the "rabbit".Is this a side effect of Stonewall, or is there something else?

Anyway, I don't dare to offend that "rabbit", I don't want to be hunted down by Bishop Clough of the eighth ring!

If only I could find that stone wall.

The Rose Palace is so huge and luxurious, there are so many unknown rooms and corridors, how can I find them?What's more, the stone wall itself may be a disaster item, which only appears in front of specific people.

...In this way, they fell into a complete deadlock.
