The petite face of the ninth princess turned deathly pale with fear. She stammered, “You... what are you going to do?”“Isn’t it you like snakes, princess? I naturally had to give you a little gift to show my appreciation,” Emma chuckled.The ninth princess was too frightened to where she instinctively backed away.Luna Sandra sternly scolded, “Emma, have you gone mad?”Emma turned her head to glance at Luna Sandra, saying, “Mother, it’s quite windy here. You should rest and not let your old illness relapse.”Luna Sandra suppressed her anger, coldly saying, “Emma, you’re capricious and unruly. Don’t blame me for not warning you. The princess is highly respected—”Before she could finish her sentence, Qri brought over a bamboo tube, and Emma opened the lid. A large blossom snake “hissed” as it slithered out, its forked tongue flickering towards everyone.Emma smiled and reached out to grab the snake, which naturally wouldn’t let her hold it as she pleased. It hissed and its tail thrash
Edward looked at Emma and said, “Do you think I was right to kill them, don’t you?”This question had no simple answer.Emma had an enigmatic smile on her face, her lips remaining uncurled. Her voice was low, sounding like an icy wind, barely there yet piercing into the core of a person. “Your Highness, what do you think you lack compared to Alpha Jeffn?”Edward’s face didn’t change, but inside, it felt like a whirlwind was passing through him.Emma laughed, “Being a member of the Royal family, you carry the vulnerability of a woman, something that shouldn’t be found in the descendants of the Royal Lycans. I dare to say that if you continue like this, you will undoubtedly cannot raise your head in the future. Let alone talking about good friends and siblings, even if they are blood-related siblings, they should be eliminated without hesitation if they obstruct your path. This is how a king should act. You have been studying outside, learning about these arbitrary affections. You’ve fo
Emma said nothing. She already knew the outcome of this story. King Lycan had furiously condemned Luna Liliana to death and ordered the execution of Alpha Cipher’s entire family. Alpha Jeffn was sent to be raised by Omega Lena. Omega Lena and the Queen formed a close alliance, and Alpha Jeffn’s deep respect for the Queen stemmed from this connection. However, this part of history was deliberately concealed by Omega Lena. King Lycan had only informed the public that Luna Liliana had died of an illness, maintaining Alpha Jeffn’s image. In reality, the shrewd knew that Luna Liliana, with her humble background, giving birth to a royal heir, had drawn both admiration and jealousy, leading to a conspiracy against her.Emma smiled. “The one behind the scenes understands King Lycan’s mindset. He knew that King Lycan wanted to eliminate Alpha Cipher completely, so he provided a convenient reason.”Edward was taken aback.Emma’s voice remained calm and devoid of emotion. “Doesn’t Your Highness
She knew that the more noble a person was, the less likely he would say a word. Refusing someone like that would be like skinning a tiger, but when she rejected him, she didn’t feel afraid at all, because if Edward was angry because of his rejection. , then he will not have any promising future worth mentioning. Also, she wants to be an ally with Edward, not a submissive subordinate, and not the woman he loves. He has to get used to her way of speaking!Edward saw her stony face, was frightened, and suddenly let go of her hand.Emma quickly said: “I need to go back, I’m so sorry.” After speaking, he turned around and left, briefly and fluently.Edward bewilderedly watched her leave, feeling sad and lost, but he was not worried. There will be many opportunities to win her heart in the future, that’s for sure!Emma calculated in her heart, she did not expect Edward to make such a request. She was not sure if this came from his sincere love, or because he felt they could stand on the sam
Draco’s cool eyes turned away.Emma smiled, “No one in this world can oppress me, and if she wants me to come, then I have to go. I don’t care about the consequences.”A while later, Emma entered Luna Sandra’s room with a bright smile. A maid was massaging Luna Sandra’s feet, her left ear covered by the raised collar of her robe; her gaze vague and unfocused. Nanny Joie spoke gently, “The Third Miss is here.”It wasn’t until well over half a day later that Luna Sandra finally opened her eyes. She stared at Emma for a moment, then smiled slowly. “Emma has arrived, I see.”Emma smiled brightly, “Indeed, Mother. I’m here to assist as per your instructions.”Luna Sandra uttered a single word, “Good. It’s time for a meal.”Nanny Joie had already instructed the servants to set up the dining table, and Luna Sandra looked at Emma. With a friendly tone, Emma stepped forward to help her.In the presence of all the servants and nannies in the room, the two appeared very affectionate, almost like
Watching everyone hurriedly carry Luna Sandra, who was groaning in pain, into the room, Emma smiled as she stepped out of the door, feeling the bright sunlight on her face and in a great mood. Qri was worried, saying, “Miss...”Emma turned around and said, “What’s wrong? Are you worried?”Last time, she had even dared to commit murder at the pool. Now, there was nothing to be afraid of, and Qri was only concerned that Luna Sandra wouldn’t give up her intentions.Emma smiled and said, “Even if I carefully serve her, do you think she won’t cause trouble for me?”Qri thought it over and agreed. If Luna Sandra had received a lesson this time, she would likely remain quiet for a while. However, the next day, Nanny Joie arrived and said, “Madam said that the careful nursing of the Duchess is beyond the fourth young lady’s capabilities. It would be better to entrust it to the fourth young lady, but the Duchess had already come to take care of it. If she does nothing, then I will take care of
The others dared not show their teeth and obediently left the room. When there was no one else left in the kitchen, Emma smiled and said, “Qri, you cook the soup.”“Yes, ma’am.” Qri placed the cleaned astragalus roots into the pot, added water, and simmered them. Holding a fire fan, she sighed, “Miss, you’re absolutely right. If we let the maids cook, there might be some commotion. It’s better for us to handle it ourselves.”Emma smiled but didn’t respond.Luther stepped up to help Qri, and together they prepared the soup much faster than before.After a while, the soup was ready. Qri used a white porcelain bowl with delicate lotus patterns and a top rim to ladle the soup into it. She placed it on a tray and then said, “Miss, it’s ready.”Emma turned her head to glance at Carol. Carol nodded, and Emma’s smile deepened.Nanny Joie, on the other side, had already heard the news and was standing at the door, waiting for Emma. A few hours ago, the maids had informed the third young lady t
Emma watched Luna Sandra’s expressions from beginning to end, with her face appearing as though she were watching a play. She then loudly asked Nanny Joie, “Nanny Joie, do you dare to swear that everything you just said is the truth? That I bribed you, and furthermore, that you poisoned mother’s soup?”Nanny Joie knelt straight and said, “Yes, I dare to do so. I’m willing to let His Lordship and Madam decide.”“You’ve always said I bribed you, and you’ve accepted the money. Why have you changed your mind?” Emma pressed.Nanny Joie had prepared for this moment, so she responded quickly, “It’s because this morning, Madam told me about the time when you were still living at your birth mother’s home. I followed Madam into this household after marrying into the family, but hearing you mention the past event made me feel ashamed. I remembered the old instructions from Beta Jason and Luna Lucca that I had wronged Madam in the past. I obeyed Duchess before because I was foolish, but now I’ve
