312 Former Alterac Princess-to-Be
At one scene, Mick laughed. New Dagger, Qi, Zhong, Wen, Ao, Shou, Fa
"At least, my body is still under my control."
She walked a few steps, walked as if no one was around, and walked to a small delicate door in the room, and slammed it open. The secondary moonstone embedded in the door immediately emitted a bright and soft light, illuminating the entire inner room.
"Tsk......" Mick smacked his mouth.
"I say! Don't you understand any politeness? Illusia said angrily. She took a step forward, but immediately stopped again. Because she has understood that with her present state of soul, she can not hide anything?
"That's right! I used to treat you with too much respect. So now, I'm going to correct that. β
The inner room was Illusia's cloakroom.
It is said to be an inner room, but this room is really not small.
How could the Barov family, the top nobles of the Alterac Kingdom, treat their eldest daughter badly in terms of women's most important clothing. This cloakroom is almost as big as the room outside. Countless cupboards are hung with a dazzling variety of clothes, hats, shoes and socks.
Of course, when the Barov family was still in existence, every piece of clothing here was the most fashionable design of the time, made by the best craftsmen. And now......
Mick's hand gently ripped through a cobweb in front of her, teasing, "No one in the Spell Sect cares about you. β
Illusia pursed her lips with a gloomy face, and said nothing.
Mick walked straight past the clothes on either side of the doorway to the fitting room at the back of the room, and walked to the heavy curtain that had been dull and dusty, and pulled it hard.
"You!!" Ilucia couldn't hold back any longer, and cried out, "Presumptuous! β
Mick ignored it, just smiled at what was in front of him.
"Where's Alex?" She didn't look back, just held out her pale left hand to her side so that Illusia behind her could see the red flames that were pulsing in her hands.
The red flames magnified into infinite fear in Illusia's black pupils. Her soul couldn't help but blur for a moment, as if she was trembling.
Even without looking back, Mick knew Illusia's expression. Hearing that there was no satisfactory answer coming from behind her. She slowly withdrew her hand, calmly hanging over what was more important to Illusia than her life.
"Where's Alex?" Mick repeated word for word, while his hand went down again.
The flames danced, deftly swallowing their mischievous little tongues. It seems that it is only a glimmer of hope that it will be able to eat the delicious taste it wants.
"I ...... I'm telling you! β
Illusia's eyes were filled with resentment and despair, and though reluctantly, she had to say.
"Until then, I'm going to ask you why you know ......"
Everyone has something they value the most. Mick's most cherished thing is Alex. And Illusia, what she cherishes the most is the wedding dress in front of her that she will never be able to wear.
"Know what? Miss Illusia? Or is it Her Royal Highness the Former Prince-to-be of the Kingdom of Alterac? β
Mick calmly asked in front of the gorgeous and extremely beautiful wedding dress.
No matter in which country or era, the wedding dress is always a dream that a young girl dreams about......
When she didn't think that she could marry into the Barov family, the fact that the eldest daughter of the Barov family was chosen as the crown princess of the Alterac Kingdom was already a matter of telling the world. At that time, the Barov family did not hesitate to buy a dowry for their daughter in order to show the importance they attached to this glorious marriage, but it was the most talked-about topic from the princes and nobles to the common people.
Among them, the most famous is Miss Barov's wedding dress.
It is said that this wedding dress was specially made by the Barov family with a lot of connections to invite Dalaran's mage to make a white rune cloth, which was designed by the top artists. Twenty of the most ingenious embroiderers took half a year to complete. Leaving aside the preciousness of the white rune cloth - a single purple rune cloth of this kind is enough to cover a county's taxes for a year. Just the diamonds and pearls set on this wedding dress can buy a small city.
At that time, the most lamented thing by the girls in the chat of their girlfriends was that if I had a wedding dress like Miss Barov, I would be willing to marry an idiot and a pig's head!
Of course, such exclamations are often responded to - no kidding, if it weren't for marrying a prince, do you think you're entitled to wear such a wedding dress?
Ironic banter often comes true.
Before it was time to put on this dreamy wedding dress for a grand wedding, the first orc war broke out.
Before such a national crisis that threatens the survival of humanity, the date of the wedding was forced to be postponed.
However, unexpectedly, King Alterac was stunned by the ferocity of the orcs - he actually betrayed the alliance and defected to the orcs. After the defeat, the king was rightfully sanctioned by the other kings of the alliance. But if that's all there is to it, it's not the worst. Worse still, the king was robbed of his mind by hatred and anger. He betrayed the Union again. And this time, he died.
In the process, the crown prince of Alterac, who was plagued by internal and external troubles, had no intention of holding his own wedding. And the Barov family also expressed their understanding, without the slightest hint of urging.
The Barovs calculated very well. If the alliance forgives the crown prince, then wait until the crown prince makes a comeback. With the reign of Alterac in power, the Barov family will naturally have one more queen. And if the crown prince is also liquidated by the alliance, then the Barov family can also clear themselves and say that they have nothing to do with it.
Unfortunately, things are worse than they thought. Soon the crown prince also disappeared. He is said to have become the head of a rebel syndicate. In this regard, the Barov family said that they did not know anything about it and picked themselves cleanly. And in order to show their loyalty to the crown prince, they still declared that their daughter was willing to wait for her fiancΓ©'s return, and kept the marriage contract with loyalty.
But fools understand - this is just a way back for themselves from the Barovs. It's a pity for Miss Barov. Who would, who would dare to propose to a prospective queen who was engaged?
For the aristocracy, this is nothing more than sacrificing the lifelong happiness of a daughter - how can the individual be as important as the rise and fall of the family?
At least when Mick first joined the Barov family, she was sympathetic to her husband's sister. Of course, she was not unselfishly curious about the legendary wedding dress. But even as Illusia's brother and daughter-in-law, she hadn't seen it once. For Illusia never allowed anyone other than herself to touch it.
This shows how much Illusia cherished him.
But I didn't expect that I would feast my eyes on such a situation now...... Mick's sarcastic thoughts crossed his mind.
Because of the special craftsmanship of the rune cloth, this wedding dress is different from the dusty and faded clothes around it, and since it shines with a white and soft luster, it seems as if it has just been sent yesterday. The gems adorned with it reflect the star-like color in the light of the fire. Jewelled. Nothing more.
But Mick wasn't in the mood to appreciate that right now. Because, what she cherishes the most...... Maybe it's going to disappear from my hands.
The agitation of her mood was evident in the mastery of the magic in her hands. The tongue of fire moved slightly, and the eyes were stained with ......
"Nope! Alex he went to the treasure room!! Illusia could no longer contain the panic in her soul and screamed.
"You didn't lie to me?"
Illusia's soul passed through Mick's body, between Mick and the wedding dress. Even if you know it's futile. But she did it subconsciously.
"I told him! I told him his father was there, and he went. Illusia said with her eyes closed, her chest straightened out. Mother is still performing illusions, and I'm right in front of you, do you think Alex will run around? β
Mick pondered for a moment, then nodded. Without hesitation, he walked outside.
Illusia hurriedly turned back and carefully examined her wedding dress. She was relieved when she found that it had not been destroyed in the slightest. But more resentment was brewing deep in her eyes. She tilted her back to the back of her head, the corners of her mouth curled in a twisted arc.
She was miscalculated. I wanted to use Alex's whereabouts to humiliate this brother-in-law who she had always looked at. But I didn't expect that the current Mick actually lost the blind forbearance and retreat that he had before his life, and even threatened her fiercely in turn.
In Illusia, she was like an ant who had always been bullied by her feet, and suddenly she learned to resist and bit her. This was a completely unforgivable thing for her.
"But...... Do you think you were still useful in the past? Illusia chuckled, her voice cold.
"I told Wilton first. That good brother of mine...... Did he think of me? Hum...... But wouldn't that be great? This Barov family, every one and every one of them is damned!! β
Illusia's illusory arm passed through her glittering wedding dress. Standing in the center of the wedding dress, she once again looked at it contentedly. It was as if the wedding dress was really worn on her at the moment.
Crazy laughter echoed through the inner chamber.
The laughter was heard clearly even by Mick, who had already walked down the hallway. She frowned slightly, and there was a hint of foreboding in her heart. But she forcibly restrained herself from thinking about it. To distract herself from her sense of foreboding, she was distracted and remembered something else.
The familiar path under her feet allowed her to find the right direction almost without much thought. This is also where she has lived for many years.
If it weren't for the orc war, the Mick family, which was just a third-rate nobleman, would definitely not be able to climb the Barov family. However, after the two orc wars, the vitality of the Alterac Kingdom, which was sanctioned by the Alliance, was greatly damaged, and as the top nobles of the Alterac Kingdom, the Barov family did not act in a low-key manner, that is, it was a death.
The Mick family itself is not well-known, and marrying them is not only low-key. And there is another tangible benefit for the Barov family - that is, the Mick family once served the Iron Horse Brotherhood. In the two orc wars, the Iron Horse Brotherhood played a great role and was very good in the alliance. Of course, in the end, it was decided that the marriage would fall on Mick's head because there was one other point. That is, there is a supposedly great astrologer who made a prophecy that was crucial to Alex, the son of the Barov family, after the woman of the right age in the Gram family. Although the family is always more important than the individual. But the status of the eldest son is also the most important existence in any family, so after hearing that prophecy, the Barov family decisively married this unknown eldest daughter-in-law, and really fell through the countless glasses of the alliance.
Without it, this marriage is too low in other nobles.
Even Mick himself thinks. She was really dreaming that she was smashed by a pie falling from the sky to have such an unexpected marriage.
Mick cherishes this hard-won marriage. She knew that she was lowly, so she walked on thin ice at the Barov house. Almost all of the Barov family looked down on her, but when she officially became the eldest daughter-in-law of the Barov family, she was the second most noble woman in the Barov family - the first honored was of course Mrs. Barov - Alex's mother.
Such an identity, although she can't stop the contempt and contempt of the people behind her, but at least on the surface, they will never dare to give her a face anymore Mick understands in her heart, but as long as she is on the face, she doesn't care what others say about her behind her back. Because what made her feel extremely satisfied and happy was her husband Alex, who respected her from the bottom of his heart, and did not look down on her at all because of her background. For him, Mick felt that everything was worth it.
Even in the face of the only aunt who humiliated her face-to-face, Illusia, she felt that there was nothing unbearable. What's more, she also understands Illusia's situation, and she sympathizes with this frustrated woman in her heart.
However, as time went on, the escalation of the embarrassment and humiliation of this beautiful and eccentric young lady doubled, and even the most sympathy was smoothed out. The rest is just a habitual concession made by the husband in the face.
Of course, her forbearance is not without reciprocation - her husband loves her more and more, her in-laws are doubly kind to her, and her uncle is even more on her side when she arrives. And other relatives and subordinates were also respectful to her after discovering that she had completely won the hearts of the head of the family and others, and even the rumors behind her were much less.
There's nothing Mick dislikes. What she has to face is just a person's dilemma. And what she got was a reward that was beyond her best imagination.
She thought that her life would be spent so peacefully and successfully, but she didn't expect that one person's madness could also put an entire family in a situation from which she could never recover. (To be continued.) )

The recent update is less stable because the author now lives at his in-laws' house to take care of the children. The old man doesn't quite understand what the code word is...... If you sit in front of the computer, you will have an opinion. And my subscription is also very low, so I don't have the confidence to talk to them. So, the code word time is much less all of a sudden. But I'll try to find time for more.
After all, I am really reluctant to write the article until now, and there are people who have been insisting. I won't give up for your sake. Well...... I hope you don't give up on me and this article!
