"Is that you, Grancy?"

The woman in the prison uniform stopped trembling, she turned her ears to listen, supported the wet and cold ground with her palms, stood up suddenly, grabbed the railing and looked out: "Na! It's you? Maxim? ”

"Great! You remember my voice! Of course it's me! I've come to see you! ”

Maxim hung kerosene lamps on the iron fence and let the light shine into the cage.

Apparently, the dungeon was a place of torture, and after only a few hours of detention, Lady Grancie's face had turned very pale, her lips were blue, her pale green eyes were swollen from crying, and her pupils were sharply constricted in the light.

The prince immediately realized his mistake: "Oh, I'm sorry! You've been in the dark for too long to stand the light, so I'm going to turn off the lights! ”

"Don't! Don't! Mrs. Grancy Steinerberg sobbed and pleaded:

"Don't extinguish the light! Please! Even if it is dazzling, I am willing, it is dark, cold and damp here, there is no hope in sight, I may not wait for the execution ground, I am already scared to death! ”

"Don't be afraid! Haven't I come? ”

Maxim's slender arm crossed the railing and stroked the tear-stained face of the other with a warm palm: "Suffered...... This is not the place to be! Please hold on one more time, okay? I'll try to get you out! ”

The prince inadvertently looked down and saw a broken bowl on the ground, the bowl was stained with some slimy gruel, exuding an unpleasant sour smell, and some disgusting scavenging maggots were gathering in the direction of the broken bowl.

Prince Maxim's face changed drastically: "Damn...... What the hell is this? This...... Is this the dinner they offer you? A bowl of gruel to talk about? ”

Ms. Grancy didn't answer his question directly, but the bitter expression and the glittering tears were already acquiescing.

Prince Maxim was furious, and he slammed the iron fence with his fist, making a loud noise:

"What the hell is going on? What about good hospice care? Where did the hot meals go? Shouldn't death row cells be provided with good meals? ”

Ms. Grancy shook her head: "The warden is like this, death row inmates can eat a few good meals before they go on the road,

But his jailers would not do the same, they detained all the good wine and meat for their own enjoyment, and only threw some cold porridge and sour rice for us death row inmates...... And it wasn't brought in, but thrown in. ”

"Damn the jailer! It's really indispensable! I'm going to settle accounts with them! Maxim's fingers opened and closed, and he tried to find traces of the hilt of the sword on his belt, and then remembered that he had gone out in disguise, without a sword.

He frantically searched for weapons, and with his fingers he pulled loose stones out of the wall, looking for a trace of the jailer.

Madame Grancy hurriedly grabbed the prince's shirt and persuaded:

"Don't! My dear! Don't!

Please don't get into trouble again! I know, you must have snuck in to see me without telling your Emperor Mother, right?

I'm very content to see you for the last time, don't let me make you guilty and punished for this cheap life, then I will die blindly! ”

Maxim tried to calm himself down: "It's going to be fine!" I swear! My dear Grancy, I will intercede for you with Her Majesty the Mother, she is the most fond of me, and will meet all my requests! ”

Ms. Grancy was ashamed and lowered her head: "I'm sorry...... I deceived your feelings, but you still want to save me......"

Prince Maxim, embracing his lover through the cold and rough iron fence, suddenly remembered something important and asked these questions that had tormented him for a long time:

"Dear Grancy, please, please be honest with me!

You...... Have you ever loved me?

I thought about three possibilities, was it just to complete your espionage mission, or did you fall in love with me in the first place, or both? ”

"It's the third type!" Without hesitation, Ms. Grancy replied, "My dear, I will tell you everything!" I swear every word I say next is true!

My Steinerberg family was originally a family of troubadours.

We are different from the people of the Solan Kingdom, my family is the aboriginal of the ancient Avon continent, and our ancestors can sing and dance, and carry ancient violins, whistles, bagpipes, six-hole wooden flutes, and Baoslan drums...... Singing ancient songs.

In the vast land of the Yawen Continent, the immortal artistic soul of our people is watered.

But the world is unpredictable, with the invasion of foreign tribes, our people are slowly conquered...... Assimilated...... And my family is still maintained to this day, a rare aboriginal pure bloodline, still maintaining the tradition of singing and dancing art.

Later, my parents were anxious to marry me off in order to support my three younger brothers, who were still very young and beautiful at that time, and they accepted a large bride price and married me into a wealthy family of Solan Rong.

A year later, I gave birth to a healthy and strong son, and everything seemed to be getting better, however,

Ill-fated.

After my first husband fell ill and died, I was forced to marry his brother, and then I caught up with the plague, and my second husband was gone, so I became a widow twice, and became an ominous person.

I was kicked out of the house by my in-laws, and my parents were ashamed of me and didn't recognize me as a daughter!

I'm wandering the streets alone, eating and sleeping in the open, as a weak woman, what can I do? It's hard to support yourself by performing your talents, because you will be robbed or even killed!

In order to survive, I even wanted to do some improper occupation and become a courtesan, but at that time I was already in my prime, I had experienced two births, and my face was gradually decaying, and even the worst place would not contain me.

Just when I was cornered and couldn't survive the next winter,

The intelligence department of the Kingdom of Solan began to recruit talented female agents, and I was selected in the first round of interviews.

I finally had an organization, an income, a place to live, and even though the dormitory was broken, at least I had a stove so I wouldn't freeze to death!

Then, my fate is out of my control, I began to be active in the intelligence warfare battlefield of various continents and countries, don't look at the spy industry, the desperate struggle of the agents is not much better than the soldiers on the battlefield! Every month, a colleague dies.

I successfully completed twelve missions and was still alive, so I was appreciated by my superiors.

Then, I was given a major mission to infiltrate the royal family of the Valstad Empire, the number one powerhouse of the Solan Kingdom, looking for opportunities to steal information or assassinate important targets.

On that night in Tadjavi, I appeared as a helper at the marquis dalí's wedding dinner, and after the banquet I followed your carriage to the tavern and caught your attention with my talent show.

You know what happened next, Maxim, and you took me to the palace and accepted me as a guest of honor.

In the days that followed, relying on your favor, I was always collecting information.

I've even imagined strangling you with a rope in your bed, how to assassinate your siblings, how I've tried to get rid of your demigod Emperor Mother with poison......

It wasn't until later that my will as an agent gradually wavered, because ...... I've committed the biggest taboo of a female spy – I'm really in love with you!

Maxim, what woman doesn't love a tall and handsome lad like you? Even though I know I don't deserve you!

I dare, no woman can resist the gaze of your lilac eyes! No!

And you treat me sincerely, and you don't treat me as a mistress, but you want to give me a rightful name, and even kneel down and propose to me!

It made me feel like I was on pins and needles, and my heart was full of guilt

When you were to me, you wanted to marry me, I knew that my spy career was completely over at that moment!

I swear! My love for you is real and pure! ”

After hearing this, Maxim smiled contentedly: "My dear, I really didn't see the wrong person, and it was not in vain that I risked sneaking into the dungeon!" That's what I want! ”

At this time, the warden's cough was heard in the distance of the underground tunnel, indicating that the officials of the Ministry of Intelligence were about to come to inspect it, and he had to leave quickly.

"Damn, how did it come so fast?"

Prince Maxim hugged and kissed his lover through the bar, and then waved goodbye to her:

"I must go, dear Grancy, I have never been so determined in my life! For your sake, I'm out of the way! ””
