Chapter 236 The Witch and the Prince
Looking back, the speaker has exquisite makeup, wearing a light red dress, warm and elegant, with doubts and a trace of happiness in his eyes.
Triss! How did she appear here?
No, it should be called Trischik now, because she is wearing a blue gemstone ring on the little finger of her left hand.
Louise restrained her surprise, and chose to repeat the question just now:
"Why are you here too?"
Triss quickly looked around to confirm that no one was paying attention, she moved closer to shorten the distance between the two, and replied in a low voice but quickly:
"'Madame Despair' sent me to the ball tonight without telling me why."
After all, she cast her expectant eyes on Louise, and almost asked, "Are you the same?"
Unfortunately, Louise shook her head and said, "I came to the dance through my own channel."
"Actually, since..." She paused, took Triss to a corner that could easily be ignored, and continued: "Since that experience ended, 'Ms. Despair' hasn't posted any more news to me. Task."
The loss and confusion in Triss' eyes were beyond words. She was silent for a few seconds before raising her left hand and said helplessly:
"I'm sure you've seen it too. The 'Madame of Despair' gave me this ring, and she specially changed it to a new name: Trischik."
"These are things that happened after that experience, you know what that means?"
It seems that the facts have become a conclusion, and Triss has embarked on the old path... Louise controlled herself not to show sympathy, she still shook her head, pretending to be ignorant and said:
"I don't know, but according to Ms. Despair, this ring and the experience that day can help you digest the potion faster, so it should be beneficial and harmless."
"Indeed, I'm about to digest the 'witch' potion." Triss nodded, as if agreeing, but her voice became more and more excited:
"This kind of unreasonable gift, if it is given to you, are you willing to accept it? I can no longer control my life, and I don't even know what will happen in the next second. Who can tell me whether the front is an abyss or thorns Everywhere... at the end, me, is it still me?"
As she spoke, her tone became low, even sad. Louise saw it and took a sip of the champagne in the glass, giving Triss enough time to soothe her emotions.
Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly heard a burst of applause in the middle of the hall. Louise looked around and found that she was fat, but at the moment Earl Wolfe, who was smiling, led a young man to the center of the crowd, and said loudly :
"Let us welcome the Founder, the descendant of the Protector, the descendant of the Mighty, the fifth child of His Majesty, Earl of Rustin, His Royal Highness Prince Edsaac Augustus."
His Royal Highness Prince Edsac, who once had a relationship with Louise, has a face very similar to that of Henry Augustus I printed on the 5 pound note, with a round face and a pair of narrow eyes. With a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, young and energetic, he kept toasting to everyone.
Very lengthy title, very grand announcement, if not for the presence of ambassadors from various countries, maybe Earl Wolfe would not be so high-profile... But none of this is important. Liz's reasons for going to the dance:
The "witch" and the prince met at this moment.
…………
Triss' emotions have returned to calm. She is not an easily emotional person. Her gaffe just now was half showing her true feelings and half following the trend. It's a pity that she didn't seem to arouse Louise's empathy...
Ever since Triss came to Backlund, she didn't have a single familiar friend around her. Freedom in the name was actually difficult, as if every step was being arranged by someone, and Louise was the only "witch" who had a similar experience to her. , She was willing to believe that the woman in front of her was not of the same kind as other members of the "Witch Sect"... This was the reason why she chose to be honest with Louise.
But on the other hand, as a "witch" with a similar experience, she fell into an unknown predicament, but Louise acted like a normal person... For this, Triss inevitably felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. And dependence, making her mood very complicated.
"Prince... As the third prince, why is he not in a cage, how is it different from my current situation?"
For some reason, Triss looked at Prince Edsaac in the crowd twice more, as if lamenting her helpless fate similar to him.
"But he enjoys the luxury life brought about by the rights and status that ordinary people can't get in a lifetime. The so-called predicament is simply not worth mentioning." Louise took a step forward, side by side with Triss, and watched together The lively scene in the center of the hall.
What does a prince have to do with me... Triss came back to her senses, shook her head slightly, looked sideways at Louise, and asked:
"Does our previous agreement still count?"
Promise, what promise... The corners of Louise's mouth twitched slightly, she glanced at Triss, and thought, "Do you think I will sleep with the prince instead of you? I'm thinking too much, and even if I wanted to, 'Desperate Nightingale' would not would agree."
So, she deliberately pretended to be stupid and said, "We are still friends."
"However, the predicament you pointed out is basically your own guess. In fact, you may be on the right path, and maybe the road ahead is smooth?"
When Triss heard this, her pupils shrank slightly, and she looked a lot deeper. She said in a deep voice:
"I just trust my own judgment."
Louise shook the wine glass in her hand, and asked after a silence:
"How do you want me to help you?"
"Wait until I figure out the predicament I'm facing..." Triss didn't finish speaking, and stopped abruptly in the middle, because she noticed two people, a combination of a man and a woman, were walking towards her.
The young man turned out to be the Prince Edsaac just now, while the woman looked bright and dazzling, but she was a noble lady whom Triss did not know.
"Maybe she came to look for me." Louise said, the reason why she added "maybe" was because Audrey must have come for herself, but as for Prince Edsac, that's not sure... …
"Miss Louise, we meet again." Although Wang Zi was greeting Louise, he unconsciously looked at Triss, causing the latter to frown slightly.
Louise pretended not to see this scene, and politely responded: "It's an honor to see you again, Your Royal Highness."
