Nicole had a rare insomnia this night, because she learned some inside stories, so she thought about a lot of things.

Is Levi as murderous and cold-blooded as the outside world rumores?

The answer to the question Nicole didn't want to think about it, let alone accept it, in fact, Nicole knew that Levi was very good to her, but...

Turning over to look at the delicate bouquet of flowers on his dresser.

Is that really the case? ’

Flowers don't answer Nicole's question, but in fact, flowers themselves are an answer.

————————————————

The next day, Nicole had breakfast full of ambivalence, and then skipped the etiquette class as usual and wandered around the palace.

Except for Levi talking, Nicole doesn't usually eat with Rivi.

Nicole couldn't see the scenery around her, and before she knew it, when Nicole reacted, she found that she had come to a very deserted road.

'Here's this?' ’

Looking around, although there was no building that Nicole was familiar with, Nicole found the old residence of Levi, which was heavily guarded not far away, of course, Nicole didn't know these things at this time, but instinctively stepped forward to ask.

Nicole: "Well, here?" ”

Nicole's dress is special, so all the guards and maids in the palace basically know Nicole's identity.

So the guard who was questioned by Nicole looked at the squad leader and asked if he wanted to say anything.

The squad leader hesitated for a moment and decided to tell Nicole that it wasn't a secret anyway, and Nicole would know sooner or later.

"Princess Nicole, this is His Majesty's former residence."

Nicole: "Old home? So why are so many people here? ”

The squad leader hesitated again and then answered Nicole's question, "Because Your Majesty's mother is buried here." ”

'Mother? Buried here? ’

With a look of surprise, when Nicole wanted to ask why again, the squad leader said directly without waiting for Nicole to answer: "Your Majesty was assassinated three years ago, but Your Majesty's mother blocked the arrow for Your Majesty, and Your Majesty buried her mother here after she ascended the throne." ”

Saying that, the squad leader stretched out his hand and motioned Nicole to go to the door, and when Nicole walked to the main gate, the squad leader pointed to the main hall inside and said, "Your Majesty's mother's body is in the main hall, but the main hall has been sealed." ”

Nicole nodded, standing here, she not only saw the main hall, but also saw some familiar scenery, just when she wanted to go in and have a look, the squad leader stopped her.

Nicole: "?? ”

Squad leader: "Princess Nicole, Your Majesty has instructed that no one is allowed to enter here. ”

Although she wanted to ask why, Nicole knew that even if she asked these people, she probably wouldn't get an answer.

Nicole, who was not in a good mood, didn't bother to ask anything else, and after learning the way back, Nicole went back.

But on the way back, Nicole accidentally overheard the chatter of two maids who were resting.

Rookie maid: "Senior! You've been serving Your Majesty for so long, and I've heard that Your Majesty is a cold-blooded and cruel person, right?! Nicole subconsciously hid to the side and listened, although she couldn't see the maid's expression, but from her tone she could tell that she was very interested in it.

The maid, who was called the senior, said to the newcomer with a serious expression: "You just entered the palace, I don't know the situation, it's nothing, but there are some things I still have to remind you, these words are not allowed to be mentioned in the future." ”

Newcomer Maid: "Why?" ”

"Because Your Majesty doesn't like to hear these words, and let me tell you, Your Majesty is not only not a cold-blooded and cruel person, on the contrary, Your Majesty is very easy-going, as long as you don't make any big mistakes or taboos, Your Majesty will not care."

"Are you so sure, senior?"

The maid, known as the senpai, nodded very affirmatively.

"That's nature!"

This resonated with Nicole, because Levi was indeed quite easy-going during the time she knew.

The newcomer maid didn't bother with this issue when she saw her seniors like this, but asked about a very hot topic in the palace recently.

"Na senior, I heard that Princess Nicole has made a great contribution this time."

Hearing this, the senior nodded and said with a little emotion: "Yes, it has been so many years, and it is only the second time that I have seen His Majesty change his decision because of other people's words." ”

Newcomer Maid: "Is it rare?" ”

Senior: "Why is it rare? I've just said that's the second time! ”

The rookie maid and Nicole, who was eavesdropping, were interested at the same time.

"What about the first time?"

The senior first looked around and saw that there was no one before he lowered his voice and said, "The first time was when His Majesty wanted to kill the royal family to avenge his mother. At that time, Levi had no power in his hands, and Baldwin tried his best to dissuade him, so Levi could only endure it.

Saying that, the maid sighed: "Actually, Your Majesty used to be a very well-behaved and kind child, but after that incident, Your Majesty ascended the throne and then became like this." ”

Nicole didn't continue to listen and left silently, for the first time she clearly knew some of Levi's past, and knew some of what happened to Levi.

In fact, her heart is willing to accept Livi, but with her character, it is still a little difficult to accept Livi's past practices, so she has this contradictory state now.

Nicole's wanderings continued, and she came to the north flower bed of the palace again.

It was first brought here by Rivi, and she came here often after that, but here she didn't meet Levi more than three times.

But today, to her surprise, she met Levi in the small pavilion in the flower bed.

Levi: "Yo~"

Levi said hello very casually, but Nicole was a little flustered and said, "Well, why are you here?" "At this moment, even if the sky is clear and the flowers are blooming, Nicole has no intention of watching.

Hearing this, Neil, who was beside Livi, said, "Your Highness, your etiquette teacher has found Your Majesty!" ”

Not to mention the rest of the words, Nicole is also clear, and when she finds Rivi, she naturally sues her.

So her eyes immediately drifted to the side and pretended to look at the scenery, and Levi smiled when she saw this and said to Neil, "You go back first, I'll talk to Princess Nicole alone." ”

Neil immediately said respectfully, "Yes." ”

As he passed by Nicole, Neil whispered, "Your Majesty has been waiting for you here for two hours." Then Neil walked away quickly.

Hearing this, Nicole couldn't help but say to Levi, "Why do you have to wait here?" If you have something, just ask the guards to find me? Besides, what if I don't come? ”

Levi smiled and stretched out before saying, "If you don't come, I'll have to go find you." ”

Although Levi said so, Nicole inexplicably had the illusion that she was being eaten.

Levi, who didn't intend to continue dwelling on this topic, changed the subject.

"Don't talk about this, let's talk about you, I see you're not in a good mood today, what's going on?"

Nicole listened and said in disbelief, "Is it so obvious?" ”

Levi: "It's all written on my face." ”

Nicole is a person who can't hide her words, and her inner emotions can easily be expressed on her face.

Nicole rubbed her face when she heard this, and then sat down across from Levi in the pavilion without saying a word.

Levi didn't immediately ask anything, but waited for a while to see that Nicole didn't mean to speak before continuing: "It seems that it is not a trivial matter to make our lively Princess Nicole so depressed, let's talk about it, I will not shirk if I can help!" ”

Hearing this, Nicole suddenly had a bold idea.
