Chapter 42 Nightmare and Giving Up

That night, Safi was lying on the bed and fell into endless dreams.

She seemed to have returned to the month she was lost. She carefully huddled herself in a corner and tried hard to open the practice lock in her hand.

Can't open, can't open, can't open!

The thin wire in her hand seemed to be against her. She could not find the keyhole to open the lock, but the time was coming. If she did not open the lock within the specified time, she would not only face a beating today, but also a

There was no food to eat all day.

Safi was anxious, but her childhood education told her that the more anxious she was, the more calm she had to be, because panic would only lead to self-defeat, so she forced herself to focus on the work in hand.

Sweat was dripping from her forehead, but Safi was still focused. She had no choice but to fight for survival.

Time passed minute by minute, and when the time was about to arrive, suddenly there was a "click" in the hand, which meant that the lock was opened!

Safi showed a comfortable smile, which was proof that she could spend the day without any disaster or pain.

Immediately, the environment around her changed rapidly. The dark prison suddenly lit up, and she went from an eight or nine-year-old child to an adult in an instant.

The only thing that didn't change was that she still held a bunch of locks and a piece of wire in her hand.

She realized something, turned around in panic, and tried her best to hide the things in her hands behind her back.

"Father, mother..." She pursed her lips, with fear and fear in her eyes. She tremblingly called out the names of the two people in front of her, and couldn't help but step back.

The prime minister and the prime minister's wife looked at their daughter with disbelief. The prime minister's wife was shaken by the impact her daughter had brought to her, and could only lean on her husband weakly.

Safi wanted to explain, but as soon as she took a step forward, she heard the prime minister's wife scream: "Don't come here, you demon!"

Safi's heart ached and she stood there at a loss. She wanted to explain, but she didn't know what she could explain. She could only open her mouth in vain and squeeze out a scream from her throat.

The parents in front of her were obscured by the sudden heavy fog. Safi was at a loss and chased her a few steps forward, wanting to leave her parents behind. However, when she rushed to the place where her parents were standing, she found that there was no space there.

There was no one, no one at all. When she didn't know what to do, there was a call from behind: "Safie."

This voice... She turned around suddenly and met a pair of eyes as cold as ice.

"Your Highness..." She murmured, but her heart was extremely calm, because she had expected this to happen, but why was her chest still so painful that it even made her unable to breathe?

Is she still wishing and imagining that she can be loved by His Highness Fred? How can she be so blind to reality?

The eyes that had always been staring at Safi with a smile were as solid as ice at this moment, cold and without any emotion. This made Safi's heart slowly, slowly sink into the endless cold pool.

"I didn't expect you to be such a person." Fred's every word was like a sharp knife, stabbing into her chest and tearing her heart full of holes. "I actually thought you were someone like this."

I have been my fiancée for ten years, are you humiliating me?"

"I didn't," Safi wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to explain it. She lowered her head dejectedly and lost all hope, "That's all, Your Highness, it's all my fault. Please terminate the engagement."

"Ha," Fred sneered, "Is that all? Shouldn't the prime minister give me an explanation for his inability to teach his daughter?" He said angrily, "Deceiving the royal family is a serious crime!"

This is what Safi is most afraid of happening. She can do whatever she wants, but she must not involve her parents. She knows very well how much her father has worked hard for the kingdom. How can she let her father's hard work be ruined in one day?

She knelt down without hesitation, wanting to beg Fred not to do this to her father. She could just bear all the punishment and blame alone. Her parents had done nothing wrong.

When she knelt down, the scene around her changed again. Something hit her. When she lowered her head, she saw that it was a stone. Then, countless debris hit her.

Safi raised her eyes and saw countless civilians surrounding her, all holding sundries in their hands. Seeing her raise her head, someone shouted: "Demons, get out, get out of our country!"

"

"Get out!"

"Yes, get out of here!"

The curses became louder and louder, one after another, accompanied by physical pain. Safi knelt there and was shaking.

She lowered her head and knelt there without saying a word, but she heard someone say: "If you raise a daughter like this, the prime minister must also be a lackey of the demons. You can't let him go!"

Such an illogical statement was echoed by hundreds of people. Safi raised her head in horror and screamed: "No--"

Then her whining was eventually drowned out by the excited civilians. They didn't care about the truth at all, they just needed an outlet to vent their emotions.

Safi woke up from a deep nightmare, with cold sweat covering her back. She did not alert the maid, but sat up on her own, stroking her chest and breathing heavily.

Fred pressed repeatedly and finally pushed her over the line.

She looked out the window at the sky, which had not yet brightened up at all, and cried silently.

Everything in the dream is a reflection of her heart, but who can guarantee that none of this will happen? All she can do is to cut off the possibility of these things happening.

It was time to leave, and she couldn't delay it any longer. Once she helped His Highness resolve the matter of the abandoned avenue, she would find an excuse to terminate the engagement, stay away from the royal capital, and would never come back for the rest of her life.

In this way, parents will no longer be implicated.

In this way, you no longer have to worry about being rejected by His Highness.

In this way, her conscience may be able to settle down a little bit.

Safi sat up all night until dawn. When she heard footsteps in the corridor, she slipped into bed and pretended to be asleep. When the maid knocked on the door, she pretended to have just woken up and sat down.

Get up: "Come in."

The maid came in to help her wash and dress.

"The eldest lady doesn't seem to be looking well?" A maid asked casually, "Did you not get a good rest last night?"

"No," Safi said calmly, "Are mom and dad up?"

She couldn't help but ask about her parents. The nightmare gave her too much fear, and she wanted to make sure that her parents were still safely by her side.

"Maybe, the master and his wife both got up at this time." The maid was not sure, "Shall I ask you about the others?"

"No need," Safi shook her head, "Prepare pen and ink, I want to write something for His Highness Fred."
