However, unlike the girl's beautiful fantasy, the reality is cruel, and in just half a day, she was taught that even if a local chicken happens to fly on a branch, it is impossible to become a phoenix.

After that, the girl returned to her previous courtyard somewhat in a daze, she had nowhere else to go, she was the lady-in-waiting of His Highness, and even if she was told bluntly that staying with her would cause trouble, she could only come back here, because she did not know any other place.

There were only two people she knew in this royal palace, the prince and the queen, but the queen had a lot of chances, and the last time she went to see her, Asso saw that there were as many papers piled up on her desk as a hill, and there would be so much time to care for her.

In this way, the girl shrank alone in a corner of the prince's residence, and stayed like this for dozens of days. In these days, she had thought countless times about going over to the queen and explaining that she should simply quit this errand, this kind of palatial palace was really not suitable for a countryman like her, and the most she should stay in was the little leaky cabin in the town.

However, perhaps because unlike the bustle and noise of the rest of the palace, the Prince's courtyard was so quiet that it was hardly frequented for a few days, except for the heralds who had come to inform His Highness of the dinner.

And His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't always stay here. In the past few days, Asso has finally been able to observe this prince well. She didn't have anything else to do anyway, so in order not to disturb him, Aso always hid behind the window or door, and secretly watched the figure outside through a small gap.

Over the past few days, Asso has found that the prince's life is very regular.

Every morning I would get up before dawn, and after washing up and eating breakfast, I would start practicing swordsmanship in the yard until the afternoon, and then sometimes I would go out for a while, sometimes not.

When he wasn't going out, the prince was able to practice swordsmanship all day. There are no breaks in between. Seeing this with her own eyes shocked Asso, and she couldn't understand why the prince could do that, all day, without interruption, thousands of times to repeat that single sword-swinging motion.

The palm of his hand had been worn through the skin many times, and blood was oozing outward, staining the hilt of the wooden sword red, but even so, the boy never stopped, and kept swinging the air with the injured palm. Seeing Aso's heart fluttering.

Even the prince was only a nine-year-old boy, and when the rest of his peers were playing outside wantonly, why was he so diligent, locking himself in the silent courtyard, and repeating that action again and again even if he endured the pain?

What was sustaining him?

Gradually, Asso began to worry, and every time she saw the figure outside the window, she was tired and about to crumble, she always prayed in her heart.

But instead of praying that he would persevere, he would pass out quickly so that he could rush out and bandage his terrible wound.

It's just that she can't wait for such an opportunity, the power of the blood clan is not a joke, as long as the blood clan is willing to squeeze their potential, then as long as the blood is exhausted, they will definitely not fall. Of course, this state requires a lot of perseverance, and it is not something that ordinary people can do.

For several days, Asso did not say a word to the prince, and even carefully hid it, not allowing him to discover his existence. Of course, it's just what she thinks.

There is a special kitchen in the prince's courtyard, but the kitchen utensils inside are quite high-level magic items, and Asso can't use them at all. Fortunately, when the prince went out to eat every day, he always brought back an extra one when he returned, and stored it in the kitchen chest where the permanent ice spell was cast.

Asso knew that it was for himself, and although the prince could not see her figure, he obviously knew that she was here.

At first, Asso was embarrassed to get the food, after all, as a maid, not only could she not do anything, but she could only eat and drink for nothing.

But His Highness didn't seem to care about her attitude, even if the ice box was already full of food, he would still bring back one food per meal. The extra food was left on the outside of the box, and he continued to practice his sword as if he didn't care about anything here.

The climate in the city of Asbiro is warm and humid, and food exposed to the outside in this situation will quickly rot. And it is naturally impossible for the hungry Asso to watch the food go bad. Finally started to settle the food inside.

His Royal Highness has never forgotten her, and will bring her food back. This incident made Asso's heart a little excited, and his heart, which had been aching faintly, was not so painful, on the contrary, it was a little warm.

When there is only one other person in one's life, then there is no doubt that all attention will be unconsciously focused on him.

As time passed, Asso began to be dissatisfied with this state of covert observation. She wanted to be in touch with the boy, she wanted to talk to him, even if it was just a sentence or two.

Although she had been told that following him would cause him trouble, after all this time, Asso felt that maybe this was not the case.

For what she saw was that the prince, like her, was living alone.

Of course, he is much better than himself, he has a mother who loves him, and he is a prince, and no one dares to bully him. But...... It's lonely after all, right......

Aso had thought many times that even if she was alone, she could live on her own, and a quiet place would be more suitable for her, and in a sense, this was not wrong. However, in the dead of night, even she always wants to find someone to talk to, and wants to have someone to trust.

So, is the prince just like her? Are there times when you need to be accompanied......

Asso didn't know, but if following him all the time would cause him trouble, would it be okay not to follow him and only show up when he needed to?

With this thought, Asso began to gradually walk out of the door, hiding behind the pillars, behind the escalators, behind the stones, and little by little approaching the boy.

It's just that she can't overcome her psychological fear, and every time she musters up the courage to talk to him, she retreats in the end.

Until one day, even Asso herself didn't remember that it was the first day she had come to the palace, and she finally made up her mind on this day to talk. I even thought about what I wanted to say, probably thanking Yunyun for the food that had come these days, and Yunyun for causing him trouble.

It's just that the prince happened to be out on this day, and after hesitating, Aso finally chose to follow him out of the courtyard.

It's a pity that the young man's feet are too fast, and Asuo who doesn't have any cultivation can catch up at all, and as soon as she walked out of the gate, she couldn't see His Highness at all.

Asso looked left and right, her surroundings were completely unfamiliar, and she hurriedly took out the ring that the queen had given her. As a few days ago, Aso followed the guidance of the ring all the way, and it stands to reason that she could find His Royal Highness the Prince as long as she followed this path, but this time she was not so lucky.

While on the road, despite her repeated caution, she was eventually discovered.

She was caught by three boys, about the same age as His Highness, and Aso immediately recognized them as the same people who had greeted His Highness in the corridor a few days earlier.

Other words...... Are they friends of His Highness?

"Hey, look, I've caught an ugly monster, haha!"

"Wow, really, that's ugly!"

"Where is this ugly monster, it's clearly a real monster!"

……

The three of you said everything I said without any scruples.

At this time, Aso can truly realize that there is a big difference between nobles and nobles, and nobles like His Royal Highness and Her Majesty the Queen will never say such things, and they can maintain their own demeanor towards everyone. However, like the three nobles in front of her, they will only act ceremoniously when facing other nobles, and once they face their subordinates or servants, their true nature will be immediately revealed.

Aso struggled to escape, but the man kept tugging at her by the collar.

These people are awakened people, and they can't break free with the strength of a little girl alone. And she can't take some radical behaviors such as biting and kicking, otherwise if she hurts them, she will really be finished. Asso still understands this.

So at this time, she could only endure it silently, hoping that these people would let her go if they felt bored.

"This curse is called 'Remnant Face', right, hey, Mu Su, is it okay for you to hold her like this? It is rumored that those who encounter this curse will also become infected and their hands will rot! ”

"Huh? Really? It's disgusting! ”

At this point, the man who grabbed Asuo's collar suddenly became disgusted and threw Asso out. At the same time, he hurriedly shook his hands, as if he wanted to shake off something.

"Ahh

Asso was hurt by the fall, and couldn't help but scream.

A few people didn't care about this at all, and they all looked at Asso with a dissatisfied face at this time, and the boy at the head of them asked arrogantly: "Look at you wearing a maid suit, it should be a maid, hey, let me ask you, which maid are you?" ”

"Huh? I, I'm ......"

Asso was stunned and wanted to answer, but soon realized something and hurriedly shut up.

"Hey, what do I ask you? Are you deaf? ”

The boy asked several times, but Asso still covered his mouth and refused to say anything, which immediately made the boy's face unbearable.

"I ...... I can't say ......"

"You guy, you're just a maid, and you dare to disobey me?"

"Smack!"

The boy slapped the girl in the face, the power of the Awakened is definitely not weak even for a child, and after this slap, the girl's face instantly turned red.
