Kapitel 23: The deception of the third prince

"Alice, what do you mean by this? Stop your wanton behavior!"

 

Irina could no longer bear the scrutiny of so many strange looks. She suddenly stood up, her teary eyes full of grievance and resentment, staring fixedly at Alice. "You have repeatedly slandered me maliciously. I know that perhaps you have some misunderstandings about me and the third prince, but why do you have to keep pressing me so hard and refuse to let it go?"

 

Irina's plain white mage's long dress fluttered gently in the wind. The glistening tears in her eyes seemed about to spill out. Her appearance, which was a mixture of delicacy and stubbornness, was like a flower swaying in the wind but refusing to break. If there were a brave knight here, he might be touched by her pitiful and charming state and be inspired to show his chivalry and compassion.

 

However -

 

There were only noble ladies present here. And as a highly talented mage of the Augustan Empire, Irina was showing such a weak and helpless posture at this moment. The noblewomen around couldn't help but feel a little disgust and disdain in their hearts. The magnificent palace where they were located was called the Shining Star Palace, which was one of the symbols of power and glory of the Augustan Empire. Its architectural style combined the mysterious Gothic spires and the gorgeous Baroque decorations, and every corner exuded an air of majesty and luxury.

 

Lilia, who was sitting at the banquet, quickly glanced at Irina and then immediately fixed her gaze on Alice. Her eyes were full of doubts and inquiries.

 

"Am I pressing you hard?" Alice asked with a feigned look of surprise, raising her eyebrows. Then she turned her eyes to the Queen Mother, who was sitting in the first place and wearing a dark red magnificent magic brocade long dress. "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, do you think what I said is pressing her hard?"

 

The Queen Mother frowned slightly when she heard this. A flash of barely perceptible anger quickly passed through her deep eyes.

 

"Irina, stop making a fuss and sit down." The Queen Mother's voice was low and majestic, like a magic command that could not be disobeyed.

 

Irina's hands hidden under the long sleeves quietly clenched into fists. Looking at Alice's pretended innocent and pure appearance, a strong murderous intent surged like an undercurrent beneath her drooping eyelids.

 

Alice, you despicable bitch! You deserve to fall into the endless abyss!

 

Irina suppressed the anger in her heart, slowly lowered her head, and pretended to be obedient and sat back in her seat.

 

The Queen Mother's beautiful eyes moved gently and cleverly changed the topic. "The daughter of the Sullivan Family, Julie, didn't show up today. I heard that it was because you beat Julie in front of the magnificent bronze gate of the Shining Star Palace?"

 

Alice nodded calmly and replied, "That's right, Your Majesty the Queen Mother."

 

"Alice, don't you plan to explain this?" The Queen Mother's tone unconsciously rose, and the sense of majesty became even stronger.

 

Alice curled the corners of her mouth with a meaningful smile. "It was just an ordinary magic skill sparring between me and her. If such a trifle has to trouble Your Majesty the Queen Mother to worry about, then Alice can't afford it. I'm afraid it would be a great disrespect to Your Majesty the Queen Mother!"

 

"In the past, Julie often invited me, who was regarded as a waste, to spar. The only difference is that this time I was lucky enough to win, and she lost."

 

Before the Queen Mother could respond, Alice seemed to be suddenly hit by a pleasant surprise and asked with an expectant look on her face, "Could it be that Your Majesty the Queen Mother wants to praise and reward me because of my unexpected victory this time?"

 

Many of the ladies present were startled by her sudden words. The Queen Mother's previous question, which clearly carried a tone of reprimand, how could it have completely changed its meaning in Alice's mouth?

 

Alice's preemptive move was like a delicate magic trap, firmly trapping the Queen Mother.

 

At this moment, if the Queen Mother wanted to reprimand, it would inevitably seem unkind; if she didn't reward, she was afraid of being criticized.

 

If it weren't for the fact that Alice's grandfather, who was regarded as a waste, was a famous magister, the Queen Mother might have already been unable to restrain herself and ordered Alice to be expelled from the Shining Star Palace!

 

It should be known that Alva, that old fellow, was notoriously protective of his descendants!

 

Moreover, it seemed that His Majesty the King paid special attention to this Alice. Otherwise, why would he specially ask to prepare an extra invitation for her to this grand banquet?

 

The Queen Mother's face was as gloomy as water. She had no choice but to reluctantly order the attendants to prepare a reward to commend Alice for her "achievement" of defeating Julie for the first time.

 

Alice accepted a deep blue and mysterious deep-sea night pearl with a smile on her face. The light of the pearl flowed in her palm, seemingly interacting with the slyness in her eyes.

 

This matter was temporarily put aside.

 

The night was as black as ink, slowly dyeing the entire Shining Star Palace. The dinner of the Grand Flower Banquet also opened in this mysterious night with a magnificent curtain. Countless court maids in exquisite uniforms shuttled among the seats, serving plates of steaming and fragrant delicious dishes, as well as all kinds of exquisitely beautiful desserts and fruits that seemed to be enchanted with a sweet magic.

 

The Queen Mother stayed at the banquet for about an hour and then gracefully got up and left under the respectful escort of everyone.

 

Only a group of noble ladies were left in the banquet hall. Some were chatting in low voices in groups of three or two, and some were sitting alone, lost in thought.

 

Alice was always like an isolated island, sitting alone in the corner and enjoying the dinner.

 

Until the end of the dinner was approaching, a court maid quietly approached her, then slightly bent down and said in a voice as soft as the night breeze blowing over flower petals, "Miss Alice, His Highness the Third Prince invites you to meet in the west chamber of the South Hall. The South Hall is one of the many palace buildings in the Shining Star Palace. Its style is simple and elegant, surrounded by a quiet magic garden and a gurgling crystal stream."

 

"Oh?" Alice's eyes were like lively elves, skipping nimbly on the maid. Her bright red lips curved up slightly, with a half-smile.

 

"In that case, let's go. I haven't seen Prince Arthur for a long time."

 

The maid secretly showed a look of contempt and disgust where Alice couldn't see, but still piled up false and happy words on her lips. "Actually, His Highness the Third Prince misses Miss Alice very much. Miss Alice, please come with me."

 

"Okay." Alice readily agreed without hesitation.

 

Rose, who was beside her, was extremely anxious and nervously grabbed Alice's hand. "Miss, don't go. That third prince is not a good person."

 

The maid immediately frowned and scolded harshly, "You lowly little maid, how dare you speak ill of His Highness the Third Prince..."

 

'Slap —'

 

Alice waved her hand quickly like lightning. The crisp sound of a slap instantly exploded in the air, attracting the attention of the ladies around.

 

Alice still smiled charmingly as if nothing had happened. "Oh, I'm really sorry. Maybe it was a slip of the hand. Let's go."

 

The ladies around heard this and looked at Alice with even more strange and bewildered eyes.

 

A slip of the hand? Could she slap someone so loudly?

 

After all, it was just a little maid. With their noble status, they naturally didn't bother to argue with Alice. Moreover, Alice had been acting mysteriously recently, as if she was covered by a mysterious magic.

 

No one knew how long the effect of that mysterious magic potion she took would last.

 

When the effect of the potion disappeared, she might still be the one who could be bullied at will!

 

At this moment, the maid tightly covered her swollen left cheek. The burning pain was like a sharp needle stabbing into the skin.

 

The maid's eyes were filled with surging hatred, like a raging magic storm. She happened to see a hint given by a woman in a white dress in the distance and then hurriedly suppressed all her emotions.

 

The maid lowered her head and said with a slightly trembling voice, "Miss Alice, please."

 

"Mm." Alice turned around and gave Rose a reassuring look, like a warm magic shield protecting Rose's heart.

 

The night was getting darker, like a huge black satin tightly wrapping the Shining Star Palace. Alice and Rose followed the maid, turning left and right in the winding and deep corridors of the palace, as if they were shuttling through a maze. Finally, they came to the door of the west chamber of the South Hall. The maid said softly, "Miss Alice, please. His Highness the Third Prince is waiting for you inside."

 

Alice nodded slightly, took a few steps forward gracefully, and then 敏锐地察觉到 that the maid behind her grabbed Rose's arm. She only heard the maid say, "His Highness the Third Prince is only waiting for Miss Alice. All other irrelevant people are not allowed to enter!"

 

Rose was extremely anxious. She was determined not to let her young lady go into danger alone. The west chamber was dim and without light, as if it hid countless unknown dangers and evil magics. If something happened to the young lady, she would never be able to atone for it even if she died ten thousand times.

 

Rose struggled hard, trying to break free from the maid's restraint. At this time, she heard Alice's familiar and cold voice like an ice pick piercing through the darkness. "Rose, you wait at the door. I'll be back soon. Don't worry."

 

"Miss..." Rose was full of hesitation and uneasiness, and her voice carried a hint of crying.

 

"Be obedient." Alice's voice was firm and could not be refuted.

 

Rose had no choice but to reply, "Yes, Miss. If there is any sign of trouble, you must call Rose immediately."

 

Alice nodded and then stepped into the west chamber.

 

The moment Alice stepped into the west chamber, the heavy door seemed to be controlled by an evil dark magic and slammed shut. The room was immediately filled with a thick and pungent strange fragrance, like a cloud of fog, trying to erode people's minds.

 

Alice was extremely vigilant. She quickly covered her nose and mouth with her slender hand. At the same time, her other hand was like a flexible magic paintbrush, gently touching a mysterious acupoint on her chest, as if drawing a magic rune to protect herself.

 

In the hazy light, a huge figure on the bed quickly sat up like a ghost. The figure was like a small hill. Alice secretly guessed that this must be a stupid, vulgar, and fat man.

 

"Beauty~ Come into my arms quickly and share this endless pleasure with me!"

 

The fat man with a big head and big ears rushed towards Alice like a hungry monster. A magic charm with a mysterious rune shining brightly suddenly appeared in Alice's palm. She flicked it gently, and the charm shot out like an arrow leaving the bow.

 

'Bang' There was a loud noise, and the charm accurately hit the fat man's body.

 

'Whoosh'

 

In an instant, the charm burst into a raging fire. The flames were like an angry fire dragon, instantly engulfing the man.

 

"Ah...ah..."

 

"Help!!!"

 

The fat man was burned by the fire and struggled in pain, jumping around like a crazy trapped beast in the room. The shrill screams pierced the night sky.

 

Alice saw this and curled the corners of her mouth with a sarcastic smile. Such a clumsy and inferior plot, how dare you show it off in front of me?

 

Suddenly -

 

There were messy footsteps, exclamations, and discussions coming from outside.

 

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, my maid has just reported that someone is having a secret rendezvous in the west chamber of the South Hall!"

Kapitel 24: The frame-up fails

"Who on earth is so audacious as to have a secret tryst in the west chamber of the South Hall?"

"The South Hall was once the residence of the former empress. His Majesty has long forbidden anyone to set foot in the South Hall. Unexpectedly, someone dares to commit such a heinous crime and come here for a private meeting!"

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, if there are such immoral people having an affair, they must not be let off lightly!"

"Right. Such adulterers and adulteresses must not be tolerated!"

"..."

The noble ladies were indignantly discussing. Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Eh? Why is there a person lying here?"

"Maya, go and see who that person is."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen Mother."

The court maid named Maya quickly stepped forward and neatly examined the person who was already lying unconscious on the ground. On closer inspection, it turned out to be Rose, the maid who often accompanied Alice.

"Reporting to Your Majesty the Queen Mother, this person is Rose, the maid of Miss Alice of the Alva Family!" Maya stood up and replied.

Upon hearing this, Lady Lilia blurted out without thinking, "Could it be that the person having an affair is Alice?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place instantly fell into a dead silence. The Queen Mother's face had already become extremely gloomy.

Irina, who was in the middle of the crowd, had a glimmer of maliciousness in her eyes. Alice, you should stay in the mire and don't try to struggle out!

The Queen Mother said coldly, "Go and open that door. I want to see who is so bold as to have a secret meeting in the South Hall!"

The guards on both sides of the Queen Mother immediately responded in unison. Then they stepped forward to prepare to open the door. However -

"Ah...ah..."

There were bursts of shrill screams coming from the west chamber of the South Hall. Moreover, flashes of fire could also be faintly seen.

The Queen Mother felt a tightening in her heart and immediately ordered to quickly open the door of the west chamber.

The door was pushed open, and a fat man covered in flames came into view. The facial features of the fat man were recognized by all the noble ladies.

It was the fifth prince, Alexander.Green!

"Put out the fire quickly!" Someone shouted. The guards immediately gathered the magic power in their hands and waved it towards the fifth prince Green, trying to extinguish the flames on his body.

But this flame was very strange and showed no sign of weakening at all!

Instead, it made the fifth prince Green's injury even more serious!

Suddenly, the fire in the west chamber of the South Hall raged, and the flames soared into the sky.

"Come here! There is a fire in the west chamber of the South Hall!"

"Go and put out the fire quickly!"

In an instant, everyone was in a panic and chaos.

And the person lying on the ground had somehow changed quietly.

The Queen Mother witnessed this chaotic scene and was so angry that her chest felt stuffy and she almost couldn't breathe.

Alexander.Green was suffering from the burning of the flames while being deeply charmed by the aphrodisiac incense. Sometimes he was sober and sometimes he was confused.

It seemed that in his dream, he was constantly kissing affectionately and doing some intimate things with a familiar and beautiful face.

Alexander.Green made groans of both pain and pleasure, and even shockingly shouted out a name: "...Sister Irina, so comfortable..."

"Sister Irina, you are too enthusiastic. Don't be like this..."

Immediately afterwards, his arm was burned by the flame. The intense pain made him instantly sober up. He rolled and struggled on the ground, longing to put out the flames on his body.

Because Alexander.Green's voice was not small, and all the people present had more or less magic power cultivation, so they could hear it very clearly!

It turned out that the person having an affair with the fifth prince Alexander.Green in the west chamber of the South Hall of the South Hall was Irina, the eldest daughter of the Sullivan Family!

But wasn't she having an ambiguous relationship with the third prince?

Could it be that Irina was two-timing?

Almost everyone's eyes immediately turned to Irina. The looks in their eyes were full of disgust and contempt, and there was also a sense of schadenfreude.

Irina was also stunned.

She opened her mouth to explain, "It's not me. I came with all of you. How could I be fooling around with the fifth prince here?"

Most people showed a look of disbelief.

Irina panicked and continued to defend herself, "It's really not me! Alice's maid is here. The person fooling around with the fifth prince must be Alice!"

Suddenly, a clear and pleasant voice came from behind the crowd, "Who is calling me?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman in a red dress like a raging fire appearing at the gate of the South Hall in the night, followed by her maid Rose.

The woman's fair and delicate fingertips were gently playing with a slender magic wand, giving a sense of laziness, leisure and carelessness.

"Who is calling me?" Alice put the magic wand behind her back and repeated.

Irina's face immediately froze. Why did this bitch Alice come in from the outside...

A woman who usually couldn't stand Irina sneered, "Sullivan.Irina, you had a secret tryst with the fifth prince in the west chamber."

Irina's face became even uglier. What was going on? How could her plan go wrong?

Irina's thoughts were racing in her mind. Suddenly, her eyes fixed on Rose, who seemed invisible. She said loudly, "Your maid was lying there just now!"

Rose retorted angrily, "Nonsense. I have always been with my lady and have never been anywhere else."

Irina had a confident look on her face and pointed to the place where the person was lying just now, "Look if you don't believe me..."

Irina saw the maid lying motionless on the ground. The words she wanted to say were suddenly stuck in her throat.

The people were also very surprised. After all, the court maid Maya of the Queen Mother clearly said that the person was Alice's maid. Why did it seem that there was one more person now...

The Queen Mother saw this situation and glanced sideways at Maya with cold and sharp eyes and asked, "What's going on?"

'Plop ——'

Maya knelt down in a panic. Just as she was about to speak, an invisible magic thread instantly pierced into the nerves of her head. Maya lowered her head, and the light in her eyes instantly dimmed. No one noticed that she was in a dull state at this moment.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Queen Mother. I was bewitched and accepted Irina's bribe. Then, according to her instructions, I disguised the unconscious person on the ground as Alice's maid. Actually, I don't even know what Alice's maid looks like. I don't know anything else..."

The Queen Mother heard this and swept her eyes towards Irina with a sharp look accumulated over the years.

Irina was greatly shocked.

"Come here. Execute this Maya immediately. Also, detain Irina and throw her into the dungeon!" The Queen Mother said every word firmly and powerfully.

The Queen Mother hated it most when someone acted recklessly in her territory.

Even if that person was a junior she favored!

In this world, the strong are respected. However, in a country like the Augustan Empire, power still occupies a very important position!

The three major cultivation families of the Augustan Empire are still lower in status than the royal family!

However, in medium-sized countries, upper-class countries and super countries, the cultivation families have a large number of talents, so they form a situation of contending with the royal family or even surpassing it.

The Queen Mother personally ordered, "All of you, step back!"

The noble ladies also didn't stay any longer and left to go home one after another.

Alice glanced at Green, who was being rescued by many guards, and slightly curled her lips. The magic wand between her fingers gently turned.

The flames on Green's body instantly dimmed.

Alice thought that the fifth prince Green had no interaction with her before and had never bullied her. So she would forgive him this time.

After Alice walked out of the South Hall with Rose, Lynn, the butler of the emperor who had been waiting for a long time, came up with a big smile and said, "Alice, His Majesty the Emperor invites you."
