Chapter Twenty-Four: Princess Rose
In Julian's room, the personnel arrived one after another, and among the many people, only Christine was missing.
"Where's Christine?" asked Julian.
A strange atmosphere descended on this room in an instant.
Eventually, Rosalind stepped up and said, "I threw her in the kitchen to do chores." β
"Ahh β
"But this incident started because of Christine, young master. "The enemy of the so-called enemy is a friend, and Charlotte joined Rosalind's queue without even thinking about it.
"Charlotte, are you my Charlotte?" Julian didn't expect Charlotte to disobey her will and help Rosalind.
But Charlotte was also worried about the young master's safety, so she said this. Charlotte said pitifully.
Julian decided to ignore Charlotte, "Edgar, bring Christine to my room." β
Edgar, who received the order, hurriedly exited the room, because he had a premonition that a new storm was coming, otherwise how could Sebas and Baal look at him with envy.
"Julian, how are you unhappy with my decision? Christine is Charles's ex-fiancΓ©e, and the direct cause of this incident is because of her, and I didn't hang her, it's already for your sake. β
"But Christine is my person, no matter what you do with her, it's my freedom, it's not your turn to be an outsider to express your opinion. β
"I'm your sister. β
"How's that going? The one who slept with Christine was me, not you. β
"It hurts! it hurts! Charlotte, you tap. Charlotte stretched out her hand to the weakness of Julian's abdomen, and pinched it gently, and Julian burst into tears.
After Christine was thrown into the kitchen by Rosalind, because she had been favored by Julian, for the kitchen handyman, she fell from the clouds to the dirt, and naturally she was inevitably ostracized, isolated, and ridiculed, and engaged in the heaviest work, and her hands, which were originally slender and white and radiated a pearlescent sheen, were now rough and dull.
But fortunately, she is Julian's woman, although Julian is unconscious, but as long as he still has a breath, the servants naturally do not dare to do anything too excessive. How witty, how sarcastic, Julian, whom she lodes, who weaved beautiful clothes for her, and whose beloved Charr pushed her into hell, is the same Julian, who still shelters her when she sleeps.
Christine was only a fifteen-year-old girl after all, she grew up in a simple town, even though she understood that Charles was risking her life for herself, and she had no reason to resent him, but she couldn't stop complaining about Charles's foolishness in her heart. Instead of saving her, Charles pushed her into an even worse situation.
Rosalind said that if Julian couldn't wake up, she would bury him. Christine had never been so eager for Julian's awakening.
Christine's task today is to chop a hundred pieces of firewood, even at home, she is loved by her parents, she has never done such a coolie, but after cutting a dozen of them, her arms are so sore that she can't help but cry, but she is not a fairy tale princess, tears cannot be turned into diamonds, and there is no gentle prince to save her from suffering.
"Miss Christine. β
Hearing someone shouting her name, Christine quickly wiped the tears on her cheeks, looked up and followed the source of the voice, it was a handsome knight with blonde hair, it was Knight Edgar, when Christine was in trouble, Edgar came several times and helped her, without Edgar's help, Christine's situation in the kitchen would have been even more miserable.
"Are you crying?"
"No, it's just that the dust accidentally got into my eyes when I was chopping wood just now. Christine didn't want people to discover the weakness in her heart, so she hurriedly denied it.
"It's too much to let a thin girl do such a heavy job. I'm going to teach them a good lesson. Edgar, the knight of justice, looked indignant.
"No, Edgar. Christine refused Edgar's help, because even if Edgar helped her this time, what would happen after that? What would happen if Edgar walked back? Christine would be ostracized even more by the crowd, because in their eyes she had seduced Julian and put him in danger, and now she had seduced the handsome knight to help her. If Edgar doesn't have the power to help her escape from here, then Christine's situation won't change.
"Follow me. β
"Edgar, I can't go anywhere, I'm a kitchen handyman, and I can't leave my post without permission. β
"You don't have to do that anymore. β
"Why?" Christine couldn't quite understand Edgar's words.
"Because, Lord Count is awake, and she wants to see you. β
Christine was taken by Edgar to Julian's room, and it was as Edgar had said, when Julian woke up, he saw Christine come in and whispered her name.
"Christine, come here, come to me. β
Although Christine was always thinking about Julian's awakening, when she really faced Julian, she was afraid, because she was a sinner, you were a sinner, everyone said so. Moreover, Rosalind and Charlotte were right next to Julian, and the vicious curses still lingered in their ears.
Seeing Christine's worries, Julian spoke: "Don't be afraid of Christine, I won't hurt you, but I will protect you, I've come back, no one can hurt you." β
Christine paced forward, her heels falling to the ground as heavy as a hammer hitting an anvil with each step, and her pale brown eyes tinged with a faint mist.
Julian took Christine's hands and stroked them gently: "I am your gentle prince, and you are my rose princess, don't shed tears, don't be afraid, the prince will not abandon the princess." β
Christine's tears couldn't stop falling.
"The love of a prince and princess needs to go through a trial of suffering, a test given by the gods. Laugh, Christine, the prince doesn't need dazzling diamonds, just a beautiful face after the blooming of the rose. β
Christine whimpered and cried, and Julian reached out to wipe the tears from her cheeks, and said, "The princess's dress should be colorful and colorful, her body exudes a natural fragrance, and the birds build nests on the branches, so that the maid can become a princess again." β
Christine was still wearing rough overalls, which were stained with oil.
Christine was a young girl, a girl who loved beauty, and she blushed all at once, but Julian smiled but was so kind, like the warm sunshine of early spring, Julian instructed the servant to lead Christine to change into a beautiful dress.
"This is my princess, and she deserves to have the most beautiful dress in the world. β
After Christine left the room, Rosalind asked, "Julian, why are you so gentle with her?"
"Christine is a blank slate. β
"Bad taste. β
