"Your Highness, this is the most beautiful flower I have found for you."

A tall, muscular young man, nearly 1.8 meters tall, presented a pink flower with a fawning smile.

The petals are crystal clear, pink and tender like blood, with pale yellow stamens at the center of the flower, exuding a refreshing fragrance that soothes the soul.

It is a very precious magical flower that grows on dangerous cliffs, and birds and magical beasts are usually attracted to guard it.

The princess looked surprised, then broke into a happy smile, her shallow dimples making her look so cute and charming.

"Thank you, Brother Longdong. I've wanted a pink feather flower for a long time, but I heard that this flower grows in a very dangerous place. Where did you get it, Brother Longdong?"

"Of course, I picked them myself for Her Highness the Princess."

The robust young man quickly took credit.

His family sent out more than a dozen knights to pick this flower, and almost all of them died before they managed to pick just one. However, he felt that if he could see the princess's smiling face, any price would be worth it.

The princess's eyes were watery with emotion, and she sweetly said, "Brother Longdong is so kind!"

The boy scratched the back of his head with one hand and chuckled foolishly.

Another boy gave a displeased snort, but quickly put on a smile later that night, adopting a fawning attitude towards the princess: "Your Highness, please don't look at those flowers, look at what I've prepared for you."

The boy had a pony brought to him; it had pure white fur, tiny wings, and crystal-clear, bright blue eyes.

It turned out to be a little Pegasus, and it looked very docile.

This boy probably paid a heavy price to catch this celestial horse.

"Oh my god, I love it so much, thank you, Brother Weibu."

The princess jumped off the swing and went to tease the celestial horse.

The two boys locked eyes, as if sparks were flying.

You won this time!

Longdong snorted coldly and lowered his voice: "But I heard that the king is going to marry off the princess, apparently to some bastard from the Chaotic Territory. We should work together to deal with that guy now, otherwise none of us will get Elaine!"

"good!"

Wei Bu squeezed out these words through clenched teeth, his face also looking unpleasant.

Elaine is the princess's name. The two of them were born into a noble family in the Duchy of Gri and grew up together with the princess; they were childhood sweethearts.

They both developed feelings for the innocent and carefree princess in their eyes, and from childhood they had been vying for her affections. Now that the princess is about to marry someone else, the two are preparing to work together to drive away the scoundrel who wants to steal their woman.

The two looked at each other.

you go!

Why should you go?! You should be the one to go!

You should go!

The two men exchanged glances repeatedly, and finally, still glaring at each other, they stepped forward together to stand before the little princess. The two, who had just been at each other's throats, suddenly became friendly.

Long Dong chuckled awkwardly and scratched his head: "Your Highness, it's like this..."

"We heard you're meeting a boy tomorrow?" Wei Bu added.

“We want to know if it’s true?” Longdong added.

The two looked at the little princess.

Elaine's lips quickly pursed again, looking unwilling and aggrieved: "I don't want to marry someone I haven't even met yet, and I heard he's a very greedy businessman!"

Hearing the aggrieved voice, the two boys almost exploded on the spot. They immediately promised the princess that they would never let that guy succeed, and that they would always protect the princess and help her find the person she loves most.

The two made solemn vows, and the princess smiled happily. Beneath her sweet smile, their hearts almost melted.

"Your Highness, you should rest!"

A maid with her head bowed came in and whispered a reminder to the princess.

"oh!"

The princess, realizing what had happened, reluctantly left the little pegasus and looked at the two boys, a hint of embarrassment and shyness in her eyes: "Brother Longdong, Brother Weibu, I need to rest now, you two..."

The two realized what was happening and quickly took their leave.

After the two left, the princess's smile faded slightly. She looked at the maid and inadvertently caught sight of the freckled face. Her delicate brows furrowed. "Next time, lower your head a little more. If you scare Weibu and Brother Longdong, I'll make you regret it."

After saying that, he gave a soft hum and walked away into the distance.

She has a habit of taking a nap in the afternoon because she heard that it helps maintain a youthful appearance.

Although she is still young, she is already very concerned about aging. She has seen the women in her father's harem, and those who have aged and lost their beauty have all met tragic ends.

Watching the princess's departing figure, the maid raised her head slightly, a strange light flashing in her eyes. In one of the pockets of her clothes, there was a bottle of medicine.

That was something she could use to change her fate, or rather, an opportunity to reclaim what belonged to her.

They were both that man's daughters, so why did that guy enjoy wealth and luxury, being pampered and protected, while I was so miserable?

The maid was filled with resentment and indignation!

Her mother had also been a maid in this palace. She was defiled by the king, who was not yet the king at the time, and became pregnant with her. However, because of her lowly status, it was feared that the news would affect his succession to the throne, so the pregnant mother was driven out of the palace.

Her mother wandered while pregnant with her, eventually settling in a mountain village where she gave birth to her.

Although life was tough, it was still pretty good. But a contagious disease almost killed her and her mother. Her mother survived, but was left with health problems.

And indelible marks were left on her face.

Later, due to an accident, her mother met the witch while chopping wood on the mountain, and a connection was formed between them.

The witch claimed she could cure her mother's illness, but her mother refused, leaving this small favor to her.

Before her death, her mother told her about her background.

She said that if all else fails, she can go to her father, who might be able to help her.

The girl wanted to meet the bastard father who had abandoned her and her mother.

So she sneaked into the palace, but she never expected to see her half-sister living such a comfortable life, being so beautiful, and being pampered by so many people.

And what about her?

The immense imbalance ignited a fire of jealousy within her, and she made a decision to reclaim what was rightfully hers.

The princess had gone to rest. She waited outside the door for a while, and after confirming that the princess was indeed resting and looking around to make sure no one was there, she went in.

The door was gently closed, and looking at that stunningly beautiful face, the jealousy and resentment in my heart deepened.

If she hadn't been banished from the palace, perhaps she would still be just as beautiful and noble, or even more likable!

The maid drew a knife; it was the first time she had done something like this, and her hands trembled, even shook.

But soon, the girl made up her mind.
