Chapter 30

65 vouchers

Because Daphne had doted on her like a daughter, Celia had often come to Greenwood Palace since she was young. The place felt familiar to her, and she carried herself with case, unlike Vivian, who seemed stiff and cautious.

She stepped closer and caught sight of Daphne’s contempt and dislike toward Vivian. A deep sense of satisfaction rose in her

chest.

As long as Daphne despised Vivian, Vivian would never be able to cling to the Archer family. Nor would she ever catch the favor of powerful patrons.

Every great house understood well that Vivian had nothing but a noble title in name. The blood in her veins was still base, and paired with that ugly face, she was simply unfit for polite society.

Someone like Vivian had almost no chance of turning her fate around.

Celia’s racing heart slowly calmed down.

Out of sight of Flora and Daphne, she cast Vivian a smug glance.

Vivian did not care about Daphne’s cold shoulder.

She had already died once. Compared to the pain of having her heart ripped out and her blood taken, Daphne’s distant, superior attitude, one that could not truly harm her, meant nothing at all.

Vivian stepped forward and offered Daphne a respectful greeting.

Though Daphne was already close to thirty, she was still breathtakingly beautiful. It was no wonder the king adored her so deeply.

In her early years, Daphne had even taken a blade meant for the king, shielding him with her own body. She was not only a beauty, but also the king’s savior.

If not for what happened later, Victoria would never have been able to dominate the palace as she did.

“You may rise,” Daphne said, not wanting to put Flora in an awkward position.

Still, to keep Vivian from coveting what belonged to Celia, she felt it necessary to teach her a lesson.

“When I sent the Crystal Hex Lantern to Aurea Manor earlier, I heard there was quite a disturbance,” Daphne said as she idly played with her manicured nails.

AND

Flora immediately explained, “Consort Daphne, it was only a misunderstanding. Vivian had some pollen on her, and it accidentally fell onto the lantern. It could be wiped away gently with a soft cloth. There was no chance of damaging the lantern.”

Daphne narrowed her eyes and went on. “I also heard that there was something like caustic soda.”

“It was only crushed borneol,” Flora said with a smile. “It just looked like caustic soda.”

After so many years in the royal palace, Daphne was far sharper than that of ordinary noblewomen. From Flora’s few words alone, she sensed that something was off.

However, Flora was too softhearted and kept protecting Vivian, leaving Daphne little room to act.

Daphne didn’t think it was a serious matter. As long as Flora was happy, that was enough. If Vivian knew her place, Flora could keep her like a pet. After all, neither the Snyder family nor the Archer family lacked the money to raise her.

Vivian could not help but wonder whether Daphne would still value Celia so highly if she had a child of her own.

Vivian lified het gare and let it fall on Daphne’s flat belly. No one could have imagined that there was a new life quietly growing inside her

Everyone behoved that the blade meant for the king had left Daphne completely unable to bear children. Even Daphne herwell believed it.

Yn Jair could be strangely subtle

In Vivian’s previous life. Daphne had become pregnant, but she failed to keep the child because of a cup of blood mead.

The one who drank the blood mead was not Daphne, but the king.

Blood mead stirred excitement and vigor. Daphne and the king were deeply in love, so the two naturally gave in to passion.

But Daphne had been injured before, and with her growing age, the pregnancy was never stable. Soon she felt searing pain. in her abdomen, sweat pouring down her face.

At first, she had no idea what was happening. When she saw the sheets and her clothes soaked in bright red blood, she froze.

There was far too much blood. No way this was just her period.

Only then did she realize she had been pregnant.

Years of favor had made Daphne forget her place. She never imagined that a single lapse would lead to such a grave mistake.

She was overwhelmed with pain and guilt, on the edge of collapse, and even came to resent the king. She blamed him for being careless and costing her the child.

At first, the king still had the patience to comfort her. But as Daphne lashed out again and again, speaking without restraint and offending him time after time, the king finally lost his temper and scolded her harshly.

From that day on, the king never again set foot in Greenwood Palace.

The Archer family’s standing remained untouched, but Daphne had lost all footing within the palace.

Losing both her duld and the king’s love made Daphne look ten years older in just two months. She even began to think of ending her life

Before her death, the only one Daphne could not let go of was Celia.

She sent a letter, hoping the king would remember their past and grant Celia the title of princess. Then she set Greenwood Palace ablaze and perished in the flames, leaving no remains behind.

In his grief, the king naturally did not refuse Daphne’s final wish.

And so, stepping over her aunt’s ashes, Celia rose in a single leap and became a princess.

After Celia married Xavier, Vivian heard a rumor. That cup of blood mead from years ago had been tied to Victoria.

And Victoria was the mother of Xavier and Nicholas.

Vivian could hardly believe Celia could be so heartless, cold as stone.

Though Daphne was not Celia’s real aunt, she had cherished her for more than ten years, caring for her, guiding her, and teaching her with devotion.

Yet Celia had married the son of the woman who caused Daphne’s death. Vivian had always wanted to ask her whether she felt any shame over it.

She never spoke the question aloud. But now, she already knew the answer.

To Celia, power, fame, and status mattered far more than family ties.

Besides, she was Sylvia’s daughter and shared no blood at all with the Archer family. She had only stolen Vivian’s identity, taking her place to enjoy the Archers‘ affection.

Sensing Vivian’s thoughts, the System said, “Vivian, Celia is the Cuckoo Child. Taking and seizing are her nature, carved deep into her soul and impossible to erase. Daphne and you are both her victims.”

They were also nourishment for Celia.

Vivian understood what the System meant. She smiled faintly. “It doesn’t matter. As long as I take back my Golden Plumes one by one, Celia will no longer be able to use the stolen Fortune to fool the world.”

The System asked again, “Do you plan to warn Daphne?”

Vivian nodded. “Why not?

“As long as Daphne has a child of her own, she will not take her own life. Celia will not become a princess, and Victoria will never rise to be the true power behind the palace.

“It’s like killing two birds with one stone.”

“But Daphne didn’t like you. She may not believe you,” the System reminded her with some concern.

“Whether she believes me or not is Daphne’s choice,” Vivian said coolly. “All I can do is try.”
