The Library and the Princess (Part II)

In the royal library, through a book called "The Thousand Years of the Holy Kingdom: The Coming of the Holy Son", you can open another secret door and enter another space, which is also full of books, and the light of the dome illuminates the entire space, but it still makes people feel bad in their hearts, and the soles of their feet are slightly chilled.

This space is full of forbidden, dark, evil, and unknowable books.

This naturally includes a bunch of books on black magic.

One of them is called "The Secret Art of Witches", written three hundred years ago by a witch who claimed to be proficient in the dark arts, and her name was Lilith Jane.

This describes in detail how to use the nobles into medicine, and what medicine the nobles' heads are suitable for.

In particular, it depicts a noble family with flowers and shields as their coat of arms, and the heads and eyes of their family members are especially suitable for boiling with other things to make an elixir of youth, and the medicinal effect is excellent.

(The emperor denied this, saying that this book is just making it up, most of the nobles of the empire do not have any special bloodline, and special boiling medicine is useless, and only the owner of the bloodline can use it)

April's check, three hundred years ago, it was the flower and the coat of arms, the famous nobles, only the Margaret family.

There should be very few people who have conflicts with the Margaret family and have the same name and surname.

Jane is a very rare surname now, as it was three hundred years ago.

The only recorded nobleman with the surname Jane, the last family member married into the Margaret family and changed his surname to Margaret. Jane's surname has not been recorded since.

So Aprily went to find records related to the Margaret family three hundred years ago.

She found the noble genealogy of that time period.

and found the presence of a Lilith Margaret inside.

Her mother's name was Mary Jane.

April immediately notices the untimely death of Lilith due to illness, and her instinct tells her that if she looks into this Lilith, she will find more things.

To this end, she searched for seven editions of the Margaret family genealogy from that time period.

The first and second editions of the genealogy state that Lilith's mother had four children, not four children.

The third and fourth editions of the family wrote the names of four children, including Lilith Margaret. Three of the children died young, and the cause of death was not written.

The fifth edition of the genealogy, written about Lilith, died in a disaster.

What disaster? It is not written in detail, but April looked through the royal archives, and the royal records at the same time as Lilith's death wrote that there was a catastrophe that year, and the witch led an army of diseases to attack the imperial capital, in a vain attempt to turn the world into a dark scorched earth.

The Captain of the Rose Knights, with seven knights, killed the witch, a priest of light who happened to be traveling in the imperial capital, and cured all the living who were infected with diseases.

There were no casualties, except for a few patients who died in the early stages because they were not treated in time, and a few people killed by witches. The disaster was solved.

The catastrophe of Lilith's death should be this catastrophe.

The next two editions of the genealogy are interesting.

In the sixth edition of the genealogy, Lilith's cause of death was changed to death due to illness.

The seventh edition of the genealogy follows the cause of Lilith's death from the sixth edition of the genealogy, but Lilith's death is brought forward and she dies at the same time as her other three siblings.

April closed the book and stroked the cover.

These seven editions of the genealogy are only available to the Margaret family, and I don't know how the library included them, so I can only say that the royal family is awesome.

In the genealogy of the nobility compiled by the outside world, Lilith's record uses the seventh edition of the record of early death, and all of them are this record.

These seven editions of the family tree make Lilith's death suspicious, why change the time and cause of her death, and is there any secret hidden in her death?

Is she that Lilith Jane?

It was only a few years after her death that Lilith Jane appeared in the poet's life.

Is Lilith Margaret fake her death? Or is it that Lilith Jane's last name has nothing to do with Mary Jane, not to Lilith Margaret's mother, they just happen to have the same last name.

April has found some sentences that praise her appearance, whether they are related or not, this Lilith Margaret is definitely a beauty.

A beauty that is rare in the eyes of the great nobles who are used to seeing beautiful women.

This great nobleman who wrote a book on all the beauties he met in his life also opened April's eyes, this person is so good at describing.

Back to Lilith Margaret.

This Lilith has a secret. Lilith, who has an angelic appearance and is sought after by countless people, but in the end, she didn't even leave a portrait. It is said that it was all burned down according to her last wishes.

In a letter to a famous painter and friend, she wrote, "When I die, don't keep my portrait."

In this way, others will not be able to know how beautiful I am, but only how beautiful I am. Just imagine, I'm the most beautiful woman you can imagine! - Lilith Margaret

In this letter, April finally determines that Lilith Jane and Lilith Margaret are the same person.

They both have the same handwriting.

Aprily carefully compares The Secret of Witches with Lilith Margaret's letter, and enlists the help of the group to check the handwriting to make sure it's the same person.

Lilith Jane is Lilith Margaret.

She was a witch, and at the time, witches who studied black magic were also spurned by everyone. She became a stain on the Margaret family, perhaps that's why they faked Lilith's death, and maybe that's why Lilith hated the members of the Margaret family.

Does the catastrophe in which Lilith "died" have anything to do with Lilith? What kind of relationship? Is she the witch who started the trouble? But the witch has already been burned at the stake.

If you look it up here, you can't check it anymore.

Aprile pressed her temple.

So, from more than three hundred years ago back to twenty or thirty years ago, the memoirs written by the daughter of the aristocracy.

It is recorded that Lilith Margaret, the mother of Mary Margaret, once had a special surprise because of a jewelry box.

And the original owner of this jewelry box was a person with the same name, surname and family as her more than 300 years ago.

Why is Lilith surprised? Did she recognize the box? There should be no obvious Margaret family pattern on this jewelry box, otherwise the nobleman's daughter would not have found it.

Does Lilith know whose thing it is? Or do you just know it's something from the Margaret family?

Does she know that Lilith Margaret is a witch?

Lilith, who seemed very wrong in the description of the aristocratic daughter, what did she think back then?

The clue is broken here, and this Lilith Margaret in the current time period has not left any information.

April thought for a moment and tried to find it, but couldn't find any handwriting left by the current Lilith.

Why can't I find it? Obviously, all the miscellaneous letters from that old are in the library.

April suddenly thought of Claude, was he the one who had erased Lilith's traces?

At this point, the clue was broken, and April threw a bunch of questions in her head first.

She'll have something to do later, and she's going to leave the library now.

Aprily put all the books back in their place, picked up the notes and The Witch's Mysteries, and told the librarian that she wanted to borrow the Witches' Mysteries.

The librarian looked at the cover of the book and told Aprily that she needed to speak to the Emperor, but that she could take it first.

April walked out of the library, the book was mainly for Antonia.

Antonia said she might be able to see something out of the book. For example, whether the evil aura on Mary's body is related to witchcraft.

Antonia doesn't have this book, the Mir family can't find this kind of book, and there are very few forbidden books like black magic in the big nobles, after all, it is easy to be misunderstood.

So I had to ask Aprili to help bring it from the library, and she didn't have that permission.

The book was obscure and written in many languages, and the librarian probably found it difficult for her to understand, so she was asked to borrow it first.

Although she couldn't understand it, it wasn't what she wanted to read, and Antonia, who wanted to read a book, was a genius rarely seen in the wizarding world in a hundred years.

"Oops!" Epley, walking god, accidentally bumped into someone else, and as soon as his hand was released, books and notes fell to the ground.

Epley hurriedly bent down to pick up The Secret Art of the Witches, the front of the book pressed against his heart, and the back turned outward.

This book is not for anyone else to see.

"Are you alright, miss?" The young man who was hit stood up and handed the notebook he had picked up to April.

"I'm sorry I bumped into you." April took the book and looked up with an apologetic expression.

The young man in front of her, with blonde hair and blue eyes, and a delicate appearance, is a handsome little guy. Looking at his outfit, he should be a guard in the palace.

"It's all right, miss." The young man smiled kindly.

Hey? Not far behind the young man, Mary and Nina were standing, both looking this way.

They had apparently seen what had just happened.

Why is Mary's expression a little strange?

As if noticing April's gaze, Mary was startled, and then smiled at Aprily with a disguised smile.

The guard noticed April's expression and looked back.

"Miss, is that your friend?"

"Yes, I'm going to talk to my friends." The young man nodded, and walked on, passing April.

April walked up to Mary and Nina, Mary's expression was back to normal by this time, and she asked in a soft voice if April was okay?

"It's nothing, it's just a little thing."

April's indifferent attitude, Mary, who had been staring at April's expression, naturally saw it, and she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

April's eyes noticed this scene, and she thought about it.

The next time I had afternoon tea outdoors with Mary, Aprili arrived a little early, and Mary hadn't arrived yet.

She naturally scanned her surroundings and saw the blonde-haired, blue-eyed guard among a few guards not far away.

April withdrew her gaze, picked up her teacup, and took a sip of tea.

After a while, Mary and Nina came over, and April greeted them with a smile and talked about how to raise flowers.

Time passed silently, and when tea time was over, Mary reluctantly got up and said goodbye to April.

She looked hesitantly at April, who didn't say anything about the next afternoon tea.

Mary bit her lower lip and offered to invite her next afternoon tea.

As soon as April wanted to say no, Nina on the side found out, and looked at April with pleading eyes, persuading April to accept the next invitation, saying that this is something that can be very pleasant for both parties, please don't refuse.

Mary opened her mouth and whispered to April.

Aprili met Mary's eyes, met the pleading in her eyes, and nodded in acceptance.

April sighed inwardly, wondering if this was a good thing.

The guard, Aprily suspects that Mary may have feelings for him, but can they? Will Duke Margaret let them be?

April took a screenshot of the picture and posted it to the group, hoping that the people in the group would help find the guard's information.

[begging]: Which one is this? It's also weirdly handsome

[A Princess]: Possibly Mary's new lover......

[begging]: ???

[A Princess]: [sighs.jpg]

Aprili tells the story that she really doesn't want Mary to fall in love with another person. This is most likely to cause more damage to Mary, and Duke Margaret will not be able to let his important pawn escape his grasp.

After receiving the message from the group members, April's inner sigh became louder.

This guard is just the son of an ordinary nobleman, and he was selected to be a guard in the palace because of his talent and superb swordsmanship.

But he doesn't have the kind of talent, to the point of being one out of a hundred, which can give him higher power. His marriage was mainly linked to his aristocratic status.

Such a person is not a subordinate or follower of the Margaret family, and he is not a person they trust, and these two people cannot be successful.

April is afraid that Mary will be hurt again, and she really cares about her.

She shouldn't have agreed.

But wouldn't she have afternoon tea there without her promise?

Would she stop her fascination with the guard if she didn't promise Mary?

However, during afternoon tea, they just quietly stayed at a safe distance and did not show that they knew each other.

If it weren't for the accident, April wouldn't have guessed that they had such a relationship.

In that case, if Mary hadn't expressed her feelings, they might have been safe and unharmed from each other.

Mary's pink roses bloomed, and she invited April to see her room of roses.

April marveled at the pink in the room, and Mary looked sideways at April, taking scissors and trimming a pink rose for her.

Aprily sniffed the flowers and smiled inwardly as she watched Mary look down and tend to the flowers.

She then made a few more afternoon tea appointments with Mary, and Mary kept that distance, as if the guard had something to do with her, and she thought, maybe she didn't have to think so much.
