The Sister of the Bloody Duke, Chapter 13

In the evening, dark clouds were gathering and a light rain began to fall from the sky. The dense rain silk is like the strings on the guzheng, constantly playing elegant and beautiful tunes.

Vivien sat by the window and watched as the sky grew dark.

"Please say that my sister is looking for me?" Victor hurriedly knocked on the door and entered.

Tomorrow they were going back to the north, and he still had a lot of work to do, and he didn't want to waste all his time on Vivien, so he spoke in a somewhat impatient tone.

"Put on your clothes and follow me out." Vivien glanced at Lola and saw her holding a long black waterproof cloak.

It is a waterproof cloak made of Egyptian cotton, soaked in oil and waterproofed, and sewn with at least 15,000 stitches, which is very expensive.

Victor frowned, then put his cloak on.

The two siblings rode out on horseback, and for safety reasons, they took the Sanming knights, a total of five of whom disappeared into the rainy night.

St. Ann's Orphanage is a long way from the Winter Palace, a forty-minute horseback ride. In order to avoid being suspected by the crown prince, they could not appear early and could not get too close.

The five sneaked up near the orphanage, hid the horses in the woods, and then climbed to a nearby tree and waited for time to pass.

The knights were surprised, because the princess was more able to climb trees than expected, and always felt that the usual noble and cold appearance was very different.

Vivien hides behind a horse chestnut, a deciduous tree with a tall tree with a broad and dense canopy, and seven leaves as its name suggests.

Fortunately, there was no thunder tonight, otherwise I would have been looking for death.

Around nine o'clock, Vivien saw two men sneakily appear carrying packages. Speaking of not a package, but a person wrapped in a black cloth.

Tonight, Eunice goes to a friend's birthday ball, and is drugged and kidnapped halfway through, and the initiator is none other than the crown prince's aunt, Lady Irene.

In order to avenge her dead sister, she has worked hard for many years to plan for the crown prince. Who would have thought that in just one month, the well-behaved and obedient nephew would reject him because of a strange woman!

Lady Irene was furious, she would not allow the crown prince to have weaknesses, let alone marry a down-and-out aristocratic woman. Because this woman will not only not be able to help her, but will also drag him down!

The rain slowly lightened, and Vivien sat on the branch and waved her calves.

"Who is it?" Victor asked with a look in his eyes.

"Eunice Richter." Vivien whispered.

Victor's eyes widened in shock, and all sorts of thoughts kept flashing through his mind. Maybe Wei Wei'an had already guessed his thoughts, so he deliberately brought him over to warn? Or maybe everything behind this has something to do with her?

If that's the case, won't he ever be able to kill her? No, she must be killed, or she will never let herself go!

Half an hour later, four men in black appeared, unclad but acting like knights.

Vivien guessed that they must be from Princess Elena. After all, unmarried princesses rarely leave the palace, let alone other forces, and the most familiar people are knights except for maids.

The four of them sneaked into the orphanage, looking like they were looking for news, and Elina didn't believe her that much.

After a few more moments, Jay appeared. He was different from the four people who had sneaked in before, and the dean himself came out to greet him.

It's a pity that he only said a few words and left, and didn't even enter the gate. But half an hour later, he led two guards back secretly to confirm what was going on.

He didn't come tonight to save the abused child, but to order the dean to destroy the evidence before the crown prince arrived.

Jay and the others hid behind a tree, less than ten meters away from Vivien and the others. However, they had already climbed the trees, and the night was dark, so as long as they didn't make a sound, they would definitely not be discovered.

There were a lot of visitors to the orphanage tonight, and Jay and the others came just after hiding from the crown prince. He led eight knights to run menacingly, and it didn't look like they were looking for someone, but they were here to kill someone.

The arrival of the crown prince made the director of the orphanage very panicked, especially the other party did not listen to his explanation at all, and with a wave of his hand, the knights searched everywhere.

There is a secret room under the orphanage, which is locked up with children who are tortured and about to die. If the crown prince finds out, they will definitely not be able to eat and walk around!

The dean did his best to stop the crown prince from searching, and the second prince did not know that Eunice had been kidnapped, so the order given to Jay was to hide the evil and not to be discovered.

The crown prince and his party did not find any trace of Eunice, so they could only leave in anger, and at this moment, the backyard suddenly caught fire!

"Search the backyard again!" The crown prince jumped off his horse.

"Your Highness, it's just that the maid accidentally lit the fire, please leave." The dean tried to stop them from searching again, but the crown prince viciously grabbed him by the collar and threw him out.

A group of people ran to the backyard to find that it was two skinny little children who set the fire. The child was very frightened when he saw the knight, but still cried out, "There is a sister who is locked up in the basement!" ”

The crown prince exuded a terrifying aura, the maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, and the dean was also so frightened that her face turned pale.

Vivien and the others didn't see the whole process, but the noise, screams, and begging for mercy came from inside the house.

Before the crown prince came out, Jay led someone to leave quietly. Victor tugged at Vivien's clothes, thinking that they might be found if they stayed any longer, and it would be difficult to explain when the time came.

Vivien nodded in agreement, and the five of them quietly left.

The crown prince moved quickly, and in less than ten minutes he left the orphanage with the injured Eunice in his arms, and the other abused children were treated.

Early the next morning, the bad deeds of St. Ann's Orphanage were exposed, and all those involved were arrested and imprisoned. The crown prince wants to involve the Royston family, who sponsor the orphanage, after all, they are the biggest supporters of the second prince.

The king was furious when he heard of the child abuse in the orphanage, and both the people and the nobility demanded that the dead be sentenced to death, otherwise it would be difficult for the dead souls to rest in peace.

Vivien finished her breakfast and sat in the living room watching the knights pack their bags. Due to the large number of gifts she bought, there were only three carriages when she came, which has now increased to five.

"Miss, a distinguished guest has arrived." The housekeeper came in and reported.

"Bring people to the parlor." Vivien put down her teacup.

When she arrives at the parlor, she finds that it is the disguised Princess Elena sitting inside. There were two people standing behind her, who seemed to be trusted.

"You all go out, I'll talk to the princess alone." When Elena saw Vivien, she turned to the guards behind her.

"Imperial Daughter, this way-" The guards were not at ease, after all, this was not the Imperial Palace, and the princess was not trustworthy.

"Get out." Yelena emphasized with a cold face.

"Yes."

The two guards glared at Vivien before leaving, and Vivien sighed and told Laura to go outside and keep guard, not allowing anyone to come closer.

"What do I want by the princess's instigation?" Elena was very smart, and from the time Vivien took her to the auction, she felt that this person had impure intentions.

"What does the princess want?" Vivien didn't answer.

"The princess is not so stupid."

"If you are stupid, you will not want to be close to the princess."

"Inciting royal unrest is a capital offense!"

"To me, the princess is more trustworthy than the prince, let's ditch those damn marriages together!"

The two talked for a long time in the living room, and Vivien confessed that she represented herself, not the family, and supported the royal daughter. In fact, when she first saw the princess on the night of the poisoning, she realized that what this person lacked was determination.

She is indecisive not because of weakness, but because she hopes that the queen and the second prince can love her again. But when she saw the notes of the first king, she realized how similar their experiences were.

The first king was an illegitimate child, and he spent the first thirty years in patience and abuse. Later, he figured out that instead of hoping for impossible love, it was better to make himself stronger, so that no one would dare to ignore him again.
