Chapter 227 Case File 3: The Mysterious Shadow at Rose Villa (3)

Princess Deresi's knowledge was limited to certain areas, such as painting, magic, and poetry, but she knew nothing about human nature. She clutched her nurse's hand like a lonely traveler in the desert clinging to a spring, telling her everything without a care in the world, her innocent face gradually becoming hideous - oh, this might be part of Mrs. Samantha's distorted memory in fear.

Drexi clearly didn't care much about the consequences of her confession. Jiangyou couldn't tell whether the princess hadn't expected it, didn't care, or was doing it on purpose. She only saw the princess persistently recounting this memory, like a child who had found a cat or dog on the side of the road and wanted the approval and praise of her family.

"He's a very good man, polite and well-spoken. Even if he doesn't remember who he is, his knowledge and bearing are deeply rooted in his bones and cannot be easily erased. Nanny, I think I must have fallen in love. Just like what the story says, the right man always falls from the sky at the right time."

Jiang You: "..." How should I put it, although the Delman royal family has its own unique distortions and perversions, it feels like the princess has not suffered the hardships of 5,000 years of East Asian family education.

However, as Deresi's emotions gradually fermented, her aroma became like a jar of red wine that had been infested with bacteria or oxygen during the brewing process, gradually becoming sour and stale. Her words were full of tentativeness, no longer focused on showing off her chosen "husband", but rather on probing the bottom line of the Delman royal family.

Takumi narrowed her nonexistent eyes. She began to think that the princess wasn't unaware of the consequences; on the contrary, Deresi was anticipating a response from the royal family.

Jiang You had heard that children who were overly neglected would try to seek their family's attention by making mistakes, and perhaps that was also the case with Dresi. She had been imprisoned by the royal family for more than 20 years, and had tasted the loneliness of no one to talk to and no one to pay attention to her. So, she made a big move in silence, and it suddenly blew the royal family upside down.

Whether the royal family is furious or gives in and accepts the young couple, the princess can achieve her goal - to verify the royal family's feelings and attitude towards her.

If King and Queen Derman considered her their most beloved daughter, they wouldn't mind her momentary indulgence; if the royal family wanted a jar of daughter's wine instead of a jar of vinegar, then she would be able to see clearly what the royal family expected and withdraw from it in time...

"At least the princess has good taste," Jiang You glanced at her paintings again. "If nothing else, the Huntington family's conditions... Haha, the princess really eats well."

Jiangyou wiped his non-existent drool and continued to watch the memory develop.

As expected, Lady Samantha reported the matter to the Queen. A mere maid could not possibly defy the royal family, let alone risk her life to bear the wrath of the King and Queen for an unpopular and hopeless princess. Furthermore, the fact that the princess had given birth to a child for no apparent reason was a scandal that could not be concealed.

——Of course, the princess didn’t intend to hide it.

The only things she kept secret were the child's whereabouts and her lover's true identity. Everything else was laid out in the open, presented to the queen on a silver platter. The puppet servants were loyal and forthright, sharing everything they knew with their true masters, these diligent, artificially intelligent individuals.

Just as the princess had imagined, the queen flew into a rage, smashing all the vases in the study and cursing at her daughter. However, the content of the queen's curses was completely beyond Takumi's expectations—and it seemed to be beyond the princess's expectations as well.

"How could you do this? The only thing you need to do is live well. You can do whatever you want in this villa, but you abuse the freedom we give you... You have tarnished your brother's soul!"

Jiang You: “……?” 6. This family seems a little crazy.

Lady Samantha huddled in the corner, recording everything with her horrified eyes: the mother and daughter had a big quarrel and parted unhappily, and the queen could not find out the identity and origin of her lover, so she decided to go all out and ordered Baron Chand to lead his troops to massacre the village.

The princess had not expected her mother to respond so cruelly to her little act of rebellion. When the news came, she collapsed instantly and fell ill.

Mrs. Samantha thought that Dracy was heartbroken because of the death of her lover. She sat beside the princess's bed and gently patted her: "He is just a country bumpkin. You will find someone better in the future..."

"No, you don't understand." Dracy looked at her as if she were a monster until Mrs. Samantha dodged and shrank under her accusing gaze. "He left here a long time ago! That was more than half a year ago! It was just a fleeting romance!

"What really scares me is you! You're the ones who, without saying a word or investigating the truth, can kill so many living people without a care, like crushing a nest of ants! That's right... you never care about the truth. You just want to completely hide the truth, the scandal! The one you want to bury is me!"

-------

Jiangyou's eyes suddenly lit up, she sat up straight, and a blanket slipped off her frame.

The princess's cries seemed to still echo in Jiangyou's ears. Jiangyou shook his skull and it took him a long time to break free from the all-too-real memory.

She stared at the blanket for three seconds, then looked around, only to find that she had been moved to a small room at some point, placed on a sofa, and covered with a thin blanket.

Andrei was sleeping on the sofa opposite. Hearing the noise, the black-haired knight rubbed his eyes and yawned: "You finally woke up?"

Takumi nodded. "I saw Lady Samantha's memories of the princess... so why am I here?"

"After consuming the soul fire, you collapsed straight down and couldn't be woken up no matter how we called. None of us are experts in studying liches. Ceylon, the magician, suggested that we find you a quiet room and observe your condition." Andre said concisely. "It's interesting to say that after you drew out that ball of soul fire and consumed it, Mrs. Samantha lost those emotions that were too intense for her. She suddenly calmed down and no longer treated Winston and me as ghosts or people. She was able to have a normal conversation with us."

Jiang You: "Oh wow? I have this function?"

——Think about it, some people cannot accept the emotional impact of certain things that happened in the past, and thus develop psychological illnesses. However, if this excessive emotion is removed, it would be like performing an operation to remove the emotional tumor in the brain, and they would be able to face the past normally.
