In a dim, cold dungeon, Edith curled up and clung herself to the corner, praying silently to the Lord of the Highest. She knew that she might not be able to get out alive anymore, so she could only use this method to pray for the blessing of her mother and sister. I hope they can still live safely after losing themselves.
She lived in a disconnected family, and when she was six years old, her father disappeared, leaving only her mother, her, and her two-year-old sister. So as the eldest daughter in the family, she shouldered many things that adults should do early.
One morning more than half a month ago, a well-dressed middle-aged man approached her, hoping that she would be able to pretend to be a girl with a slight resemblance to hers, and was willing to pay an unimaginable honorarium for it. Although she was smart enough to be aware of the strangeness of this matter, it was precisely at that time that the family's livelihood was becoming more and more difficult, and her mother happened to be seriously ill a few days ago, so even though she knew that it might be dangerous, she still agreed to it.
What she never expected was that she still underestimated the danger of this matter. In the ten days after she agreed to this, she felt that she was almost in an absurd and strange dream.
In this dream, she went from hell to heaven, and then fell from heaven to the abyss.
Initially, she was taken out of the sin area and into a lavish mansion. There, she is received by a handsome blonde boy who tells her that she is going to attend Bradley College in the next few years to play a young girl named "Phile" until the real Miss Phil returns.
Seriously, she couldn't believe her ears at the time. As a sinner, that Miss Phil was able to enter the medical department of the Higher School, which seemed like a big joke in the past. And according to the boy's claim, it is actually very simple to pretend to be that magical young lady, as long as you are expressionless forever......
If it weren't for the fact that the young man's expression was extremely serious, and that a sinner like herself had no value in being deceived by him, she would have thought that this was a hoax at all.
And after that, she seemed to be living in a paradise that she could only look up to in the past, and became a princess in a fairy tale.
There had never been a day when she could have imagined herself wearing a gorgeous princess dress.
There had never been a day when she could imagine that she could eat the sumptuous food that the commoners enjoyed.
There was never a day when she could believe that she could study at the academy like a child.
It was like a gift from the Most High Lord, and she wanted to weep happily every day. However, in the midst of this happiness, she felt a faint sense of trepidation, knowing that this should not be something she could have, and that the more grace she enjoyed now, the heavier the sins she would have to bear in the future.
And as if to confirm the premonition in her heart, five days ago, a team of hideous soldiers came to the academy, wounded the mentor who wanted to protect her, and took her out of heaven and into this abyss of no day.
And it was only then that she finally knew what kind of identity the girl she played named Fei'er had.
She was truly a princess, the daughter of Khan Parks, the world-famous Grand Duke of the Northern Regions.
The group wanted to catch her and use her to force the Grand Duke to submit, and he, an impostor, seemed to be a victim of the struggle between them.
She was scared, she was really scared.
Because of this story she had imagined, she had been tense every day for the past few days, and had forced a blank look, lest they would find out that they were nothing more than an impostor, and then pour all their anger on their heads.
But she knew that it wouldn't last long, because the big people who knew she was an imposter wouldn't care about her, and maybe one day, she would be taken to the Grand Duke's mansion to confront the Grand Duke of the Northern Regions. So in the end, the end that awaits her will be miserable.
She'd heard stories like this.
When the wicked man thought that he had caught the princess and threatened the king, the king suddenly laughed and made the real princess come out and admire the stunned look of the wicked.
At the end of the story, the king protects his daughter, but what about the "stand-in"?
They are nothing more than the backdrop of a happy story, a vital yet dispensable existence.
Everyone has seen the happy ending, and who will notice this little flaw?
Edith quietly wept in prayer, she was just a girl who seemed strong but was actually vulnerable. was obviously terrified and in extreme pain, but he had to pretend to be expressionless, and only dared to cry without making a sound in such a deserted night.
However, at this moment, the stone slab in the distance of the dungeon suddenly came through the sound of "clucking", as if someone was about to come down from it, so frightened that the girl quickly wiped her tears and pretended to be expressionless again.
What time is it, why is someone coming again? A few hours ago, wasn't someone already delivering food, is the last day finally coming?
Thinking of this, Edith suddenly felt a shiver all over her body. She closed her eyes, bit her lip, and quickly shrunk her body again, pretending to be asleep.
In the darkness, the girl felt a vague figure slowly approach, and at the same time, she seemed to hear a very soft sound of drawing her sword.
Did they find out that I was an imposter and let people kill me?
As soon as the thought came to her, she was so frightened that she hurriedly opened her eyes. And at that moment, a silver sword light in front of her eyes suddenly turned into a crystal clear silk thread, swaying through the void, as if in an instant, cutting off something in this dungeon.
"Who are you?"
Edith exclaimed in fright, because behind the sword light, she had already faintly seen a black figure in a trench coat and hood slowly approaching her.
"Shhhh The black figure half-knelt down in front of her, and in the gentlest voice he could make, he chuckled and said, "I am here to save you, 'Your Highness the Princess.'" (To be continued.) )
