After the banquet, April said goodbye to her relatives and friends in the group, lifted her skirt and got into the carriage, and under the stars in the sky, the golden palace was gradually left behind, and it was lost for a while.

After the carriage circled around the palace a few times, the coachman murmured in a low voice, the air vibrated and the space distorted slightly, and the carriage disappeared with the magic shock caused by the teleportation.

In an instant, the carriage moved to the palace where April lived.

Anna and Anne were waiting for her at the door.

Anna held out her hand, and Aprile got out of the car with Anna's hand and walked into the palace.

After changing her dress, April sat on the sofa and chatted with her nurse Anna and her maid Anne about the banquet.

"I met a lot of interesting people at the banquet, and they were all very friendly."

"That's great," Anna smiled and looked at Aprily kindly, "It's great that you're happy." ”

"I met a beautiful maiden, such a beautiful person, more beautiful and cute than all my dolls. The pink hair is soft like a cloud, and the eyes of the same color are reminiscent of flowers and butterflies. ”

Aprile held her face with her hands and said, "I really want to have a chance to see you again, but unfortunately I don't know where that young lady came from."

April frowned slightly, "She's walking so fast, she's already gone before I can talk." ”

Anna said, "I seem to know which young lady His Highness is talking about, and my brother also met her at the banquet, is it a young lady named Mary?" The Little Duke of Margaret danced with her for the whole feast. ”

"I think I heard someone call her by this name, what kind of person is that young lady?" April asked curiously.

Anna shook her head, "I don't know very well, I only know that it is the child of the Margaret family, and it should be the first time to appear in the social circle of the imperial capital." ”

She rarely left the palace after becoming April's maid, and learned about the social world from her family. The elder brother was amazed by Mary's appearance, but he only thought it was a rare beauty, and he didn't care very much. I want to know who she is, but I can't find more information, so I don't want to go deeper.

"Well," Anna thought for a moment, "to be able to enter the banquet as the lady of the little Duke Margaret and appear in the social world in this way, and there should be news about her soon." ”

"Not to mention anything else, just by monopolizing the dream lover of thousands of girls, the beautiful boy Edward, for a whole banquet, countless young ladies who love the little duke will go crazy to dig up that girl's identity." Anna smiled.

"Anna, is the little duke really so lovable" I seem to have heard Anna say before, is it a standard "Prince Charming"?

"Countless maidens are mad about it," said Anna, "and is blonde and blue-eyed, handsome, and gentle, and no one who sees him does not dislike him." ”

"Does Anna like him too?"

"Of course, it's hard not to have a crush on someone who is so perfect." Anna replied with a smile, "However, I have only met him once, and I can tell what kind of person he is, when he was still young, and that child was eye-catching since he was a child." ”

"Well," April nodded, "I hope to find out who she is soon, and I'm really looking forward to seeing her again." ”

"Goodbye," Anne listened quietly to their conversation, "and you are loved by the world. ”

"Everything will be as you wish."

April knew that Anne would help her, and with the speed of the social world, it was too slow to reach Anna, who had not shown up in the social world for a long time.

But Anne is different from Anna, not just more than 20 years more than Anna.

April believed in Anne's intelligence network inside and outside the palace, she used to listen to Anne talk about all kinds of things, all over the world, questions can always be answered, and she always knows about secret things. Anne can tell a thing or two about the social world in the palace.

She was in the palace, and there were very few people around her who could help her, so she could only choose the one who was able to find news about Mary.

You may not get any news, but you can't do nothing.

She couldn't sleep at all in bed at night, and ran out into the garden in the middle of the night.

The members of the group are also a bunch of people who are not asleep, they are all using the power of their hands, frantically looking for information about the young lady, and sending a message from time to time to understand the progress of others.

April watched the discussion in the group as she sat on the swing in the garden.

The swing in the garden is an iron-backed chair connected by a chain to the branches of an extremely tall tree.

The stars were behind her, the soft grass was at her feet, and in the quiet air, there was only the sound of the wind dancing with the leaves.

"What a day!" As April said this, the dawn of homecoming appeared, with the motivation to move forward, with a goal, knowing that the end of the road was home. Even though the road is shrouded in fog and there is no knowledge of what awaits ahead, there is a road that has appeared, and that is hope.

With anticipation for the future, April fell asleep on the swing, and today she has encountered a lot of things, and her body has reached the point where she needs to rest.

In the silence of the night, someone walked out slowly, stepping on the lawn without making a sound.

The figure in the darkness slowly revealed his face.

Claude walked over to the swing.

He watched April's sleeping face in silence. With a slight movement of her fingers, a stream of golden magic poured out from her fingertips, surrounding April, gently picking her up, and for a moment the space distorted, Claude appeared in her bedroom with the sleeping April.

The golden magic gently placed April on the bed and covered her with a quilt.

Claude took a step closer to the bedside. He stared at April's sleeping face, and silence hung in the air.

After a long time, he finally made a decision in his heart.

Claude brushed the strands off April's forehead, leaving a gentle kiss between her foreheads.

"Good dreams, my child," between his eyebrows was a rare tenderness for the black-haired emperor.

......

On the second day of the feast, April and Claude sat down for dinner.

April told Claude what she had told Anna before.

"The young lady who was kissed by the angel, I really wish I could know her!"

April didn't know if Claude had spotted her voyeurism yesterday. There is a high probability that she knows, but April will not take the initiative to confess, she decisively pretends to know nothing.

What garden conversations, I don't know, I've been at the banquet oh.

Claude stopped what he was doing, he put down the knife and fork in his hand, and looked up and asked April, "Would you like to see that young lady?" ”

"Yes, do you know her? Father! ”

According to the information found in the group, the middle-aged man she met before was Duke Margaret.

According to Duke Margaret's hairline, the amount of hair in the future of Prince Charming is estimated to be very heartbreaking. April thought to herself.

The members of the group found out the identity of the young lady: Mary Margaret, the newly adopted daughter of the Duke of Margaret.

The Duke and Claude in the garden were probably talking about the same Mary they met at the banquet, but unfortunately April didn't hear anything.

The adopted daughter of the duke, who grew up in the countryside, was a distant relative of the duke. Because of a trip, he accidentally met the duke. In the process of their acquaintance, Duke Margaret felt that Miss Anne had a kind and warm heart and hoped that she could have a better life, so he adopted Margaret.

But Antonia said that the Duke of Margaret was not a man of great kindness, and that the reason for adopting Mary was nothing more than a casually woven lie.

It was an old fox who was always squinting and calculating something, and Mary must have a huge profit in him that he could plot, and Antonia was sure of it.

As for what exactly Mary had in her body that the old fox wanted, they were still investigating.

Perhaps some information can be obtained from Emperor Claude.

Claude told her about the identity of Duke Mary's adopted daughter, and although she already knew it, April pretended to know it for the first time.

"What you saw in the garden yesterday is the Duke of Margaret, Mary Margaret's father."

Oops, mentioned this.

It's useless to continue to play stupid, April directly performs a "panic",

"I'm sorry... Father...... I didn't mean to..."

"Don't be so reckless."

Claude interrupted April's explanation.

Aprili breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this was over.

Claude continued: "Duke Margaret spoke to me yesterday about Mary Margaret. ”

"What's wrong with her?" April immediately asked, then found herself interrupting Claude.

Oops, she shrunk her neck and silently shut up.

Claude glanced at her and continued.

"The Duke wants Mary Margaret to enter the palace—"

He wants Mary to be my stepmother! April screamed inwardly.

"Do you want her to enter the palace?"

"What identity did she use to enter the palace?" Aprile asked.

Claude looked at her and asked, "Do you want her to enter the palace?" ”

"Of course!" "It would be a wonderful thing to see Miss Mary again!" ”

Regardless of whether such a great beauty entered the palace for the emperor or not, she is a person related to the main line, and it is possible that the completion of the personal main line is related to her!

Claude could see that Aprily was saying this.

"She'll be a lady-in-waiting at Elizabeth."

The palace attendants were carefully selected, not ordinary servants. It must be of hereditary aristocratic origin, and the job is not to clean and laundry, but to be responsible for the management of the palace, serving the palace master, and so on.

In fact, it is more appropriate for the palace maid to be called the maid officer.

Therefore, the young lady of the Margaret family is definitely willing to come and be this maid.

Moreover, Elizabeth Palace is the palace where the former queen lived.

The current queen did not live because Claude, the widowed king, was not married.

Mary doesn't look much older than I am now, what is Duke Margaret thinking! April shouted inwardly.

"Daddy," Aprile looked at Claude, "can I go see Miss Margaret when she enters the palace?" ”

"—As Aprily White"
