“What is true?” lia asked while wiping away her tears, Audrey nodded.

“Actually, Miss Veronika asked us one village to hold Miss Audrey in the village. So that she can get close to the Crown Prince and get engaged to him.”

“What else did Veronika say?”

Lia shaking. “I don't know everything, but I accidentally heard Miss Veronika ask the waiter to put something into Crown Prince's drink.”

“Something?” murmuring Audrey, Lia nodded slowly.

“I've said everything I know, will you really keep your promise?”

Audrey smiling. “Iya, I will keep my promise.” Audrey's smile was replaced by a flat face, she stood up and directly pierced Lia's neck with a dagger. The shocked Lia instantly fell down with blood spurting and made Audrey's face exposed to blood, the girl stared coldly at the girl lying on the ground with little awareness left.

“You want safety, right? I gave it to him, like this. You don't have to go back to the village or receive any torture from Veronika.” Audrey squatting. “And again, take this in return for having dared to hold me.”

“No-na's.. A-udre-y.” Lia closed her eyes, Audrey stood up. He walked towards White and Black while wiping the blood on his face with a handkerchief.

“You guys are so greedy, let's go. We're gonna get out of this wilderness.” Audrey stared at the two small animals staring at her with her head tilted and blood in their mouths, Audrey crouched down to make the two jump up into her arms.

Audrey smiled faintly. “We will help Xavier, we must not let him fall into the trap Veronika.” He closed his eyes and sighed, the sounds of the night animals around seemed to disappear and made a calming silent atmosphere. 'Laura, help me. Only you know about the forest and Veronika, even though this has nothing to do with it. But help me get out of this forest, and I promise. I will make Veronika tormented until she wants her death, you can also if you want to torture her with your own hands.'

Audrey opened her eyes, in front of her were green glowing footprints. He smiled faintly and stepped in the direction of those footprints.

Not for half an hour, Audrey arrived at the border between the forest and the city. There, the footprints slowly disappeared with an aura that flew into the sky and disappeared. 'Thank you Laura, I will definitely keep my promise.' Audrey confidently stepped over and over the border, her face so flat that it could not be deciphered.

“What do you mean?? It's been over a month and you still haven't found Audrey's whereabouts!?” mike asked, clutching the collar of a residence guard.

“I'm sorry, Young Master. Me and the other bodyguards have searched everywhere, but we couldn't find any trace of Young Miss. We also can't enter the demon lord's territory.”

Mike strangled the bodyguard's neck. “If tomorrow there is still no trace of anything, you will all run out!” He immediately threw the guard down to hit the wall.

With all his might, the bodyguard bent his knees. “Good, Your Highness.” He stood up and walked away staggered.

Not long after the bodyguard's departure, a servant walked in in a hurry and bowed respectfully. “Young Master, Miss Audrey. Miss Audrey is back at the residence!!” the waiter said, Mike was shocked. He turned around and ran in as fast as he could.

“Audrey!!” Mike walked in, in front of the house door. A beautiful girl with blood on her dress and a trace of blood on her face stood still at the mouth of the door.

Audrey smiled faintly. “I'm fine, Brother.”

“Where have you been?” Mike led Audrey and sat her down on the couch. “Servant, bring a basin of warm water and also cloth here!”

Audrey placed the two small animals in her arms, she stared around the residence. Nothing changes there, everything stays the same.

“Why did you get blood? And why are these two little animals with you?” mike asked as he dipped the cloth in the basin and squeezed it, then cleaned the blood on Audrey's face. “You're not hurt, are you? Did that demon lord do something to you?”

Audrey just kept quiet, she didn't move at all. His gaze was fixed on the table in front of him. “What, Xavier engaged to someone else?”

The question from Audrey made Mike pause for a moment, he was silent for a few seconds before sighing. “Because of you who suddenly disappeared, the emperor so choose another girl to become His Majesty's new fiancee.”

Audrey was silent, her mind in the fog. He smiled wryly. “What Xavier agreed to just like that?”

Mike looked at Audrey's face before sighing. “Kakak don't know, but from what you heard. Xavier briefly escaped from the palace when His Imperial Majesty told him about it.”

'Why did he run away? Doesn't she want to get engaged to Veronika? Why did he agree in the end? Is he really desperate to find me? Did he really just think of me as his partner?' Audrey sighed, she glanced at the two small animals that were sound asleep beside her. 'What should I do? Why am I not willing to hear she's engaged to another girl? Why does my heart hurt so much?'

“But isn't that great, you don't want to get engaged to the Crown Prince from the beginning either.”

Audrey put away Mike's hand that was busy cleaning up the trail of blood, she carried Black and White then stood up and stared at Mike. “I want to go to the room, I don't want to be disturbed. So don't go into my room.” Audrey walked into her room with a mind that wandered everywhere.

ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ

Audrey carefully placed Black and White on her bed, she smiled faintly and walked towards her closet. Audrey stretched out her hands and took out a green-colored dress, she walked towards the bathroom while blabbing indistinctly.

Fifteen minutes passed. Audrey finally came out of the bathroom with the dress she was carrying, she sat at the dressing table and combed her hair.

Audrey smiled faintly while watching her appearance. “Perfect, this is better than my outfit a few minutes ago.”

The smile on Audrey's face changed to a grin. “As per my promise, Laura. I will definitely make Veronika suffer, therefore.” Audrey leaned back and looked up at the ceiling of her room. “I need your help for some things to come.”

The sound of knocking on the door made Audrey turn her head, she sighed. “What's up?”

There was no answer, but the door just kept knocking and making him annoyed at once furious. Audrey stood up and walked towards the door, she opened the door of her room and prepared to nag but someone immediately hugged her tightly until Audrey fell silent.
