Chapter 20: Karina

Karina held back her tears, she hadn't cried for a long time in years. When she was a child, she was a notoriously crybaby, because her father loved to drink, and he was drunk every day, and his alcohol was very poor. When she was drunk, she beat her mother in front of her at every turn.

Every time Karina cried and cried to protect her mother with her petite body, but what could she do with her weak body?

What about the royal family, they are just a destitute clan sent to Mangala City, with the name of a royal family, but they live a life that is inferior to most commoners. The little girl in the neighborhood is always far away from her, just because her kind mother often takes her to the vegetable market to pick up some rotten vegetables that others don't want. The little girls were very disgusted, saying that she was dirty and had big bugs in her stomach. She was so frightened that she didn't eat the rotten leaves she picked up on the street for a while. Later, when her mother found out about this, she smiled and did not explain, and in the future she would buy a small handful of good greens, and picked up a handful of rotten cabbage leaves, fried them separately, and put the fresh greens in front of little Karina, and ate the rotten cabbage leaves herself.

Karina cried and ran into her mother's arms and wept bitterly, knowing how many more clothes her mother had to wash in order to buy these copper coins for the greens.

Little Karina didn't have any nice clothes, and she didn't wear new clothes. Her clothes were merely "new" from rags that had been picked up and mended by her mother's dexterous hands. Every time she goes out, her clothes sewn from various rags always attract the ridicule of others. In the eyes of others, she is an ugly duckling.

Little Karina grew up with ridicule from others, violence from her father, and care from her mother.

The family's belongings were almost sold by the father, and the creditor moved everything he could, leaving only a large empty house. The biggest reason why this house was not mortgaged is because the house was given by the previous king. The other small items should be gone, and it can be said that they were stolen by some daring kittens and dogs. If this big house is gone, once the city lord knows about it, it will not only be Karina's family who will be connected to the king.

But little Karina didn't feel how unfortunate she was, she still had her mother to spoil and accompany her.

There were no nice clothes, but there was a mother who knitted for her by candlelight. Little Karina thought that the clothes her mother had sewn were much better than the fancy clothes sold on the street outside. The dependence on her mother made her know that she was not alone. She also has to work hard for her mother, and she must definitely be filial to her mother when she grows up.

However, nightmares don't know when they will hit people's heads. Nine-year-old Karina happily returned from reporting from Mangala College, and she was very excited, because the eldest sister who tested her said that she had the talent to become a warlock, not only was the tuition fee free, but she could also receive some living allowance every month, which would subsidize the family, and finally she would not have to live by her mother's hard work of sewing and mending for others.

But the moment she got home, she was blindfolded. She found her mother lying in the courtyard with a mountain of clothes next to her. Blood was still bubbling from her forehead, staining the clothes around her red.

When little Karina saw this, she cried and cried out to run to her mother's side. As a result, as soon as he took a step, his calf was weak and he fell directly to the ground. Not feeling the bleeding wound on her knee, she crawled and crawled on her tiny arms to her mother's side, looking at her haggard and pale face, and at that moment her mind went blank and she cried heartbreakingly.

How little Karina hoped that her father, who had disappeared for three months in order to avoid debts, could come back and take her mother to the hospital for treatment.

She cried out that she was willing to give everything she could, if only her mother could wake up.

Coincidentally, at this time, Reynold, the head of the Snow family, stepped into the door of Little Karina's house with a dull face of Arthur, and he took a fancy to Little Karina, who had a warlock talent and had a great war history, which was the most suitable person to be his daughter-in-law!

As soon as Reynolds entered the door, he heard the little girl's cry, and then saw the little Karina and the woman who fell to the ground next to her, her face sank, and she immediately arranged for her subordinates to carry the fainted little Karina and her mother to the nearby hospital for medical treatment.

Reynolds led Arthur out of the courtyard after them. Suddenly looking back at the dilapidated courtyard, Reynolds sighed in a low voice, then looked at Arthur, who had just reached his waist beside him, and then picked up his son and strode away......

Little Karina woke up, slowly opened her eyes red from crying, and what caught her eyes was the plain blue bed veil and the mahogany bed beams. A faint scent of sandalwood fills the body, beautiful, quiet, comfortable and serene. It was like lying in her mother's arms.

"Is this the Divine Realm?"

Little Karina looked at Qingsha blankly and muttered. All she remembered was that she seemed to faint next to her mother, and she had no idea what was going on.

"By the way, what about Mother? Mother!"

Little Karina screamed and lifted the beautiful and comfortable quilt on her body, only to find that the clothes on her body had also been changed, "This is ...... Silk?"

The panicked little Karina took a closer look at everything around her. The room was white and spacious, and she sat on a huge bed, which was soft and soft, as if it had been made of cotton from the futon. At the other end of the bed, there was a beautiful dressing table, and the large mirror on the dressing table was bright and transparent, which could clearly reflect her appearance, and even a strand of hair could be seen lightly, more clearly than with the water in the basin. There are all kinds of cosmetics near the mirror, and the floor-to-ceiling windows next to it are shielded from the sunlight by a blue bed veil, and the whole room is cleaned up, making people feel extremely warm when they look at it.

With a "squeak", the door opened, and little Karina trembled with fear, and hurriedly hid in the corner of the room to cast her eyes in the direction of the door.

"Hey, you're awake!"

A young woman in a luxurious dress pushed the door in, followed by a group of maids holding food boxes.

The young woman carried the light on her back, hazy in the sunlight, like a god.

Little Karina's eyes flickered, like two sparkling sapphires.

"What a beautiful pair of eyes, come, hungry, here's something to eat, come and eat, don't worry, it won't hurt you, come, come here"

Hearing the young woman's call, little Karina looked at the various foods that were slowly being laid out on a small square table, including various stir-fried vegetables, fragrant soups, and some white pastries that she couldn't name.

Xu was extremely hungry, smelling the smell of food, little Karina's eyes looked at the food on the table, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and still did not move.

Her mother had taught her not to eat anything from strangers.

The young woman did not know how hungry the little girl looked, and when she saw that the latter was still unmoved by the food, her bright eyes were full of approval.

"What an obedient and good boy," the young woman sighed to herself.

"It's all right, go eat, I'll take you to see your mother," the young woman said softly.
