章 401: Three Days Later

THREE DAYS LATER

Mrs. Adler knocked on the door with a panting breath. Emmelyn was surprised to see the old woman came back from the market with a paled face. She quickly assumed something must have happened to get such a reaction from her.

"What happened?" she asked the old witch worriedly. Emmelyn was supposed to go with the old witch to the market, but she fell ill the day before and couldn't go anywhere.

Mrs. Adler told her to rest because her ailment was apparently more to do with her mental state, not physical fitness.

The old witch offered to go to the market and bought some more ingredients to make potions that could help her to sleep dreamless. Emmelyn's nightmare became worse by the day and she almost had a mental breakdown.

"Princess..." Mrs. Adler held Emmelyn's hands and looked at her deeply. "If I told you we should leave this kingdom immediately, will you listen to me?"
