Had Aurelia really left then?
"Alexander, since we're at this point, I might as well let you know." Carmella heaved a long sigh. "I do want to pair your sister up with Neil, and I hope Aurelia's able to leave Southeast Aciatic on her own accord, but the girl didn't agree to it. I can't possibly force her, can I?
"Don't worry. I know what I should and shouldn't do. It's not worth it to offend the Harris family over Aurelia!"
Alexander looked skeptical but nodded.
Carmella waved a hand to dismiss him, and her brows knitted into a frown after she calmed down.
Where had Aurelia gone? Did she run into someone else after she left her place?
Carmella's heart pounded as a name flashed in her mind.
"Call for Princess Victoria!" she asked loudly.
…
Aurelia curled up in the corner of the wall. The only feeling this place gave her was cold.
White walls, white room, a white rug, and even the window frames were white. This was like a world of ice.
Southeast Aciatic was a sweltering summer, but she was trembling here.
The woman on the bed slowly sat up and watched her with a curious gaze. A while later, the woman copied her and hugged her arms around curled-up knees to sit there like a ball.
Aurelia took a deep breath. Terror consumed her like hundreds and thousands of worms. The woman probably did not recognize her anymore, but she could recognize the woman.
It was the woman who had charged out on the day of Cordelia and Zephyr's wedding. It was the woman who had stabbed a fork in her wrist!
Aurelia backed down as much as she could until her back hit the wall, and cold numbness spread through her limbs.
"Hey…" Helene made a hoarse sound from her throat.
