Chapter 140: Escape Cannot Solve the Problem (9)
Anna knew that Slaley wanted to write a book, and she had already had a contract drawn up.
Slaley signed the contract and left.
"Hei Laiyin, do we really have to publish this book after His Majesty's death?" Anna was a little puzzled by Gu Chang's idea.
Gu Chang took the kettle from Anna's hand and watered the flowers for her. "Mother, His Majesty the King asked me to sign an agreement. This agreement prohibits me from harming Lotus."
Anna was obviously stunned, her amber eyes shrank slightly, and her breathing became a little rapid, "He really did this?"
"Yes, he said that Lotus is the only heir." Gu Chang said calmly. The look in his eyes was like a deep pool.
But Anna couldn't see the abnormality under Gu Chang's calmness, and she couldn't calm down.
Anna looked up at Gu Chang and grabbed his arms. "Listen, Hailain, you have to leave the royal city quickly."
"Why? Mother, I've already left the royal city once." Gu Chang placed the kettle on the table beside him and walked over to the emotional Anna. "I'm no longer the same person I used to be. The same goes for you. Running away won't solve the problem. Even if Lotus wants to use the same method against me, he can't do it."
Gu Chang thought it was a little strange that Anna's first reaction was to let him escape, but he didn't think much about it. He thought it might be his own illusion.
"You mean Galis?" Anna calmed down and walked to the chair and sat down.
Karina came over and poured two cups of scented tea.
"The black witch who cursed me has been found. You don't have to worry that she will listen to Lotus." Gu Chang also sat opposite Anna.
During those five days, Gu Chang kept in touch with Cedric.
Kalisina had already admitted that she had cursed the original owner, and Gu Chang had asked her to come to the palace this afternoon. The person who had brought Kalisina in was Zephir.
"I think she should be here." Gu Chang stood up and said in a gentle tone.
Anna still didn’t understand who Gu Chang was talking about, “Who?”
"Kalisna, the black witch." Gu Chang said with a smile.
Anna stood up suddenly and looked at Gu Chang in disbelief, with a strange look in her eyes.
In the living room.
Kallisna, wearing a long black dress and a large hat adorned with flowers and white feathers, stood quietly beside the sofa. She lowered her head, and the wide brim of the hat completely hid her face.
Standing next to her was Zephir. Zephir was a little curious about Kalisna and couldn't help but look at her twice.
"Mr. Knight Commander, if you look at me again, I might let you turn into a bird and fly away in your sleep." Kalisna's voice was very soft, and her tone of voice was a little slow, as if she was reciting a ballad.
Zephir looked away and coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment. "I'm sorry, ma'am. I crossed the line." Zephir couldn't help blushing slightly, and he didn't know why. It was as if Kalisna had some kind of magical power that could attract people's attention.
When he led Kalisa into the palace, he deliberately took a small path, trying to avoid the guards and maids. But Zephir was still curious. Even in the afternoon, when it was the hottest time of the day, Kalisa was still dressed warmly, even using a large umbrella.
When Anna and Gu Chang appeared in the living room, Kalisina finally raised her head.
The wide brim of the hat covered half of Kalisina's face, revealing her pale and beautiful face. Kalisina had a pair of green eyes, like gems with a cold light.
Anna stared at Kallisna warily, protecting Gu Chang behind her.
"Damn black witch, how could you do this to my Heline?!" Anna questioned her angrily.
Kalisna gently lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands, bent her knees slightly, leaned forward slightly, and lowered her head, "Hello, Princess Anna."
"I admit that this matter is my fault. I listened to the slander of the maids around me and mistakenly believed that His Highness Hailain was a bad man." Karisina turned to Gu Chang and apologized sincerely, "Your Highness Hailain, I am very sorry for causing you so much trouble."
"But you work for Lotus!" Anna was still angry.
Kalisna raised her hand and swore, "Truth be told, I have never done anything for Lotus. If I lie, I will lose my life and all my wealth."
In response to this, Anna's anger gradually dissipated.
Oaths still have a certain degree of persuasiveness in this world.
Gu Chang was wearing the medicine bag given by Galis today, and he had already smelled the strange and unique fragrance.
He thought: It seems that the medicine package sent by Galis is quite effective.
"I forgive you, but you have to make corresponding compensation." Gu Chang asked Anna to sit on the sofa first, and then said to Kallisna: "You have to make Lotus receive corresponding punishment." He felt that the fragrance made his chest a little stuffy.
"That's for sure. He dared to bribe the maid beside me and made me do something wrong. I will definitely make him pay the price." Seeing Gu Chang's smile, Kallisna couldn't help feeling a little scared.
This smile reminded her of Prince Cedric.
When Gu Chang came in, Kallisna noticed the "Silver Fall" that Gu Chang was wearing.
This is a brooch that can only be worn by the highest leader of the Gareth family, which means that his status is the same as Prince Cedric.
No matter what Gu Chang asked for, she couldn't refuse, even if Gu Chang wanted to kill her.
"I will curse Lotus. As for his hair or blood, you certainly don't need to provide them." Kalisna maintained her composure and spoke a little faster.
Zephir noticed that Kalisna's body was shaking slightly as she spoke.
Is she very afraid of Gu Chang?
It turns out that black witches also feel scared when they do something wrong.
If Kalisina knew what Zephir was thinking, she would definitely pull Zephir's ears and tell him that she was just afraid of Cedric.
Zephir wanted to greet Anna, but Anna's eyes were full of her son. Feeling a little disappointed, Zephir decided to take Kalisna away.
"Wait, Zephir. I heard that you solved the problem of horse thieves. You worked so hard, kid." Anna raised her hand and asked Zephir to come over and talk.
Zephir then laughed. He walked over to Anna and leaned forward slightly. "It was His Highness Sealain's coachman who killed the horse thieves. I simply cleaned up the mess. I don't know how this got to you and became my credit."
"Speaking of this, I still have to give the bounty to Andrew. Your Highness, is Andrew here?" Zephiel looked at Gu Chang.
Gu Chang replied to him: "Just give it to me, it's not convenient for Andrew to come."
"Okay, Your Highness, I will send someone to deliver the bounty later." Zephir thought he could see the coachman again. To be honest, he really wanted to learn a few tricks from him.
"Zefir, I'll have to trouble you to take Kalisa out later." Anna interrupted at the right time and patted Gu Chang on the shoulder. "Heilain, you should go and rest for a while. You've been busy all day. I'll have Kalina call you when dinner is ready."
Gu Chang nodded slightly, "Then I'll go first, mother."
"Princess Anna, I have to leave too. I have things to do in the team." Zephir also said quickly.
Anna laughed, and looking at the two young men, she felt happy, "Okay, go ahead."
Completely treated as a background figure, Calisna wished Zephir would take her away immediately. She really didn't want to see Gu Chang. More precisely, she didn't want to see the "Silver Fall" on his chest.
It felt like Cedric was standing right in front of her; the auras of these two were so similar.
The maid took Gu Chang to a bedroom, closed the door and left.
Gu Chang stood by the window, gazing at the sun gradually setting in the west. He tugged at his collar, feeling that now was the time for him to completely relax.
The banquet among the nobles reminded him of some things that happened before.
Those were some not-so-good experiences.
After chatting with the king, his irritability reached its peak.
It's just that Gu Chang always uses a smile to cover it up. He has always practiced this skill very well.
Gu Chang took out the medicine bag from his pocket and threw it on the table.
The system noticed that Gu Chang was in a bad mood. "Host, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry?"
Gu Chang shook his head gently, "It's okay, it's just that there are a lot of things to do today."
He thought of the two people he hadn't met today, Queen Silvia and the fourth princess Lilia.
Anna did not mention these two people either, and no one at the banquet mentioned the names of Queen Silvia and Lilia.
Gu Chang didn't know what roles these two people played in this game.
But now Gu Chang chose to throw himself into the arms of the quilt and not think about these things for the time being.
Gu Chang tilted his head to the side, his face pressed against the fluffy pillow.
It would be nice if Cedric was here, at least in front of him, I wouldn't have to pretend.
