Aurelian opened her eyes in a daze.

The sky outside was already covered in pitch black.

The starlight shimmers like a nimble silver stud.

Obviously, the night has woken up.

She opened her eyes and looked at the girlish furniture around her, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Next to her pillow was a somewhat worn doll that seemed to have undergone countless repairs.

Ever since Aurelian came to the territory of Grand Duke Barlow, she had spent every night in this new and familiar place.

Every time I sleep here, it brings her a warm sense of comfort.

Looking at the bright moon hanging high outside the window, she really couldn't remember the current time.

In the end, she must have succeeded......

Aurelian closed her eyes and remembered the scene when she summoned a fifth-order demon dragon at the bottom of Guanta Prison.

To be honest, she didn't know exactly how she did it.

She only remembered that a very special voice sounded in her heart at that time.

What did she do after that?

Well...... Forgot.

But she stepped on the back of the demon dragon and manipulated the demon dragon to kill all sides, and Aurelian still remembers.

And at the end..... Teacher Victor is back.

Due to the pent-up tiredness, she didn't know what was going on, and just fell asleep like that.

Wait a minute, she won't sleep on Victor-sensei.

Thinking of this, her body stiffened slightly.

But then, a wave of feeling hit her, and she had to forget about it.

No, you have to go to the toilet.

She sat up, holding the furniture with her right hand, and struggled to her feet.

But suddenly, a tingling pain came from the wrist of her right hand.

"It hurts......"

Aurelian looked down at her wrist.

It's weird.

Where did the wound come from?

A black blood scab formed on top of the wound, and there were thin blood stains around it.

It wasn't bandaged, but it looked like it was recovering quickly.

Look at it, and the wound will heal tomorrow.

It's just that the body is too weak, and the right hand doesn't need much strength.

In the past two days, the right hand should not be used frequently.

After she struggled to get up, she found that there were no injuries to any other parts of her body except for her wrists.

Aurelian's heart was once again clouded with a cloud of doubt.

Theoretically, her undead state should have been able to avoid such physical damage.

But the feeling of weakness coming from his body was like a lot of blood had been drawn out of his body.

Looking at the layout of the room, Aurelian's eyes were a little sparkling.

Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door.

Aurelian looked up and squinted at the door.

It's late at night, so who else is knocking on the door?

As she thought, she dragged her tired body and gently twisted the handle with her left hand to open the door.

Standing outside the door was Xiang Zilan in a maid's costume.

The moment she saw Aurelian, Vanilla bowed deeply to her.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the master said that you should wake up at this time, and I hope you can go to the hall."

"The Grand Duke and the Master are waiting for you."

The owner of Vanilla.

It could only be Mr. Victor.

A trance crossed Aurelian's mind, listened to Xiang Zilan's words, nodded, and was about to go to the hall with his body propped up.

Xiang Zilan respectfully asked Aurelian:

"Your Royal Highness, don't you change your clothes?"

Hearing her reminder, Aurelian looked down.

She's still wearing pajamas.

When I thought of Mr. Victor saw......

Aurelian's eyes widened, and she turned to Xiang Zilan and asked:

"My pajamas are ......"

"I changed it for you, please rest assured."

Hearing this reply, Aurelian exhaled with ease.

……

Aurelian hurriedly changed into her modest regular clothes, walked through the intricate corridors, and finally reached the front of the luxurious hall.

Victor and Duke Barlow were already seated opposite each other, steaming tea in their hands.

On Victor's shoulder, a black crow still rests quietly.

Aurelian bowed slightly to her grandfather, then turned to Victor and spoke with a hint of hesitation:

"Teacher, are you looking for me?"

Victor put down the teacup in his hand and responded indifferently:

"Actually, it's Grand Duke Barlow who wants to see you."

Aurelian was stunned and turned to Duke Barlow.

Listening to the teacher's answer, Aurelian was stunned for a moment,

Looking at my grandfather, just as he wanted to speak, he saw him on crutches, stood up, and said hoarsely:

"Follow me."

Feeling a moment of confusion, Aurelian glanced back at Victor and hurried to keep up with Archduke Barlow.

Victor looked at Aurelian's departing back, his gaze falling on her injured right hand.

"What, worried?"

After Vega saw the two leaving, he shook his feathers on Victor's shoulder,

He opened his deep one-eye, looked at the departing back of Aurelian, and said hoarsely:

"How so?"

"Even I didn't expect her to dare to do that."

……

In the dark porch, Aurelian followed behind Duke Barlow, obedient and careful.

Archduke Barlow walked ahead, without saying a word.

In the entire hallway, there was only slow footsteps and the dullness of the cane on the floor.

Aurelian didn't dare to speak, she always wondered if it was because she and Victor went to Guanta Prison that made the Grand Duke feel bad.

After all, this matter is actually quite serious.

If a condemned prisoner escapes, it is bound to cause great chaos.

In the quiet corridor, Archduke Barlow suddenly spoke:

"It seems that you have overcome your fear of the undead."

Aurelian was slightly stunned, thinking of her controlling the undead demon dragon in the land of stars today.

She opened her mouth and hesitated in response:

"Feeling...... It's a little worse. ”

In fact, Aurelian also felt a little embarrassed, after all, her grandfather had been teaching her to learn necromancy for some time.

As a result, she was afraid of the dead soul and never learned it thoroughly.

But Archduke Barlow's next words made Aurelian a little stunned:

"Guanta Prison, I asked your teacher to take you there."

She was stunned, going to Guanta Prison turned out to be her grandfather's plan, and Aurelian had never expected it.

"The intention was for you to overcome these in a crisis, but you found another way."

"It took me by surprise."

Out of the corner of the Archduke's eye, he glanced at Aurelian's injured right hand, even though Aurelian had subconsciously hidden it behind him.

"You've been here for a long time, though."

"I guess that's up to you."

Aurelian was curious.

What her grandfather said could be handed over to her,

What is it?

Soon, they came to a corner.

Grand Duke Barlow turned to the right, Aurelian following close behind him.

At the end of the corner was a door that looked like it had been closed for a long time.

And the Grand Duke pushed it away and slowly stepped into it.

Aurelian was a little strange.

Looking deeper from the hallway, it was pitch black and deep.

There seemed to be a glowing green light in it.

The door was surrounded by green vines, like the chaos caused by no one taking care of them after a long time.

Aurelian, who was nervous, looked around the door and followed closely.

In the next second, the surrounding scenery was completely different from what Aurelian had seen before.

The darkness around them vanished instantly, and in its place a bright green light gradually became more intense.

Soon, Aurelian felt that her right hand seemed to be no longer painful.

Looking down, her slender and pale arms were burning with a ghostly green mist.

Aurelian suddenly realizes that she has entered a state of undead.

Everything around them faded into obscurity, replaced by a desolate land shrouded in green mist.

Here, is the realm of the dead?

However, there was silence all around, and even the Archduke Barlow, who had brought her, had disappeared.

Aurelian looked around blankly, the ground rustling beneath her feet, and wandered casually in this unknown environment.

She suddenly felt a strange sensation under her feet and looked up.

In the green mist, there are several stone monuments of vicissitudes.

And in this huge cemetery, only a rickety old man stood there.

Aurelian looked at it and couldn't help but froze.

Standing beside the stele was none other than her grandfather, Duke Fainstein.

Aurelian stepped forward and recognized it as Archduke Barlow.

She just wanted to go up and say hello, but the foot seemed to be in the air.

In the next moment, the scene in front of me suddenly changed.

The former cemetery has been transformed into a battlefield of blood-red sand, with the corpses of countless soldiers from different factions lying in it.

Among them, there are two men and women whose faces cannot be seen clearly.

They fell in love on the battlefield and were separated by war.

Aurelian was a little puzzled.

The surroundings and the characters all made her feel confused for a while.

Before Aurelian could think more, the surroundings changed again.

She appeared in her familiar room, suddenly opened her eyes from the bed, and sat up sharply.

Looking at the comfortable and warm furniture around her, and the brand-new puppet at the head of the bed, she felt puzzled.

Behind her, her long hair seemed to be gently stroked.

Aurelian was startled and jerked back.

But consciousness gradually rose into the sky with her head.

Aurelian noticed.

The woman sitting on the bed was not her at all.

She looked down.

The old man is combing the hair of a woman in a wedding dress with a happy smile on her face.

Obviously, she couldn't see her face clearly, but Aurelian could feel it, it was the woman who appeared on the battlefield before.

She looks much older than before.

Is the war over?

It was all like a flashing movie, and it was playing out in front of Aurelian.

Now, it is a sacred church, surrounded by bright flowers, and ethereal and sacred music reverberates through the church.

Bright sunlight shone through the windows, sprinkled on the white chairs, and draped over the newlyweds' clothes.

Every guest seated in the church had a smile of joy on their faces.

Aurelian couldn't see everyone's faces, including the words of the others, only the buzzing sound passed through her mind.

And here she stands, like a viewer of the story.

Passively accept everything.

The scene changes again.

She saw the familiar woman, dead in the rubble.

Surrounded by burning smoke and stirring ashes.

The deceased woman is desperately guarding the child in her womb.

The man in front of him, whose face was not clear, wore a familiar crown on his head.

At this moment, Aurelian finally realized.

The man's eyes were full of pain and reluctance, and he grieved and lifted her out of the woman's belly.

It was as if there were ripples all around, and a deep green mist lingered around the whole world.

The scenery changes back to the original cemetery, with an old man standing in front of a tombstone.

The drizzling rain wet the old man's clothes, and he sat solemnly in front of the tombstone, bowing his head and silent for a long time.

The flowers in front of the tombstone were beaten so that the petals fell and floated on a layer of rainwater, shaking gently.

Aurelian wanted to say something to the old man.

But the words were choked in his throat, but what came out was another voice that definitely did not belong to him.

With ethereal and solace:

"Daddy......"

"Don't blame him."
