Chapter 392 The Black-haired Girl from the East and the Tsundere Prince 8
Chapter 392 The Black-haired Girl from the East and the Tsundere Prince 8
Ryan returned to the bedroom.
The arched window was half open, and on the windowsill, a pitch-black crow with a pair of ruby eyes was looking at him with its head tilted.
Ryan gently combed its feathers with his fingertips, took out a glass bottle from his arms and placed it next to its paws, and whispered a few words.
"Hulala-"
The crow flapped its wings and soon disappeared into the night.
Dawn breaks.
Ruan Ruan felt like she was alive again. The pain that remained in her body yesterday had completely disappeared after a night's rest, and she now felt relaxed all over.
Ruan Ruan guessed that maybe she didn't take much holy water, and the black magic elements in her body were enough to digest it, so the pain lasted for a relatively short time.
A little light cannot illuminate the entire night sky. As long as the power of darkness is strong enough, it can also swallow up the light.
Of course, this is just her speculation, and specific practice is needed.
The wind in the early morning is particularly comfortable, and the odor in the air is much thinner.
Ruan Ruan pulled open the curtains, and a light green glass bottle appeared in the corner of the windowsill, with a black feather next to it.
When you open the cork, you can smell a strong plant bitter flavor.
Is this a medicine?
Ruan Ruan was very sure that this thing was not there when she closed the window last night.
Who could have sent it?
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"
There was a knock on the door, and Lina's joyful voice came in, "Ruan Ruan, are you up? I have good news to share with you!"
As soon as she opened the door, before Ruan Ruan could see clearly, she was hugged tightly.
"Oh my God! I am so happy! The gods must have heard my prayers. I have a chance to enter the palace!"
She was so full of joy that Ruan Ruan almost couldn't breathe.
"Great... Ahem, look, I believe you can do it."
Lina then noticed her faux pas and quickly let her go, “Forgive me, dear, I’m just too excited.”
Ruan Ruan expressed her understanding and gestured for her to speak more quietly as other people in the castle might still be sleeping.
Lina nodded and winked cutely at the glass bottle in her hand.
"Hey, what are you doing with the potion?"
Ruan Ruan blocked her hand and said, "Nothing, I just happened to be organizing my things and took them out."
"I know!" Lina said, understandingly, "You've also received the news, right? We have to report to the Magic Academy this afternoon, so we're packing our luggage."
"Go to the academy, what about the selection of the prince's wife?" Ruan Ruan was puzzled. Why did she have to go to school again for the selection of the princess?
"I know that this is His Royal Highness Ryan's decision. He said that talent alone is not enough. One must have a strong character and great strength to shoulder the responsibilities of a member of the royal family."
Ruan Ruan: "So, you have to graduate from the magic academy before you can choose the prince consort?"
"No, His Highness Ryan will select his favorite candidate during this period."
Lina explained, "In fact, this is already very fast. His Majesty the King spent more than ten years selecting a queen. The queen he chose was elegant and beautiful, but unfortunately she died early and we were unable to witness her elegance."
More than ten years!!
Ruan Ruan was shocked. Ryan shouldn't be as slow as the king.
"How do you know all this, my dear little Lina?" Ruan Ruan pinched her round face, which felt good.
The girl smiled slyly, "Gold coins, of course."
She had taken care of all the maids in the castle, and naturally she would get more information if she won their hearts. However, these were supposed to be announced in the first place, she just knew it faster.
"Oh, let's stop talking for now." Lina slapped her forehead, "I have to go back and pack my luggage too."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
There were very few people in the palace restaurant today. Ruan Ruan chose a seat by the window and enjoyed her breakfast, white bread and fishy milk first.
The food supply in this world is pitifully scarce.
The staple food is black and white bread, accompanied by various plant roots, cooked vegetable leaves and beans, and meat.
Ruan Ruan felt that if she continued eating like this, she would sooner or later lose her love for life.
She chewed the white bread tastelessly. The dry taste stung her throat with every swallow and her neck felt stretched.
"Good day, Miss Ruan Ruan."
Lilith was wearing an ivory silk short skirt with a hint of lace underneath the fluffy hem, and she looked like a blooming lily petal as she walked. The folding fan in her hand was hidden in front of her, like a beautiful oil painting. Of course, it would be even more beautiful if her eyes were friendlier.
Ruan Ruan was deciding whether to eat or not. Seeing this, she breathed a sigh of relief and threw down the bread, saying in return: "Good day, Lilith, may the sun and moon shine upon you."
Lilith sat down at the table nearby, and the servant behind her took out beautifully presented dishes from the wooden box she was carrying.
You have to throw it away when comparing things.
Ruan Ruan couldn't take her eyes off the piece of beef with perfect brown texture on the plate.
Lilith sneered softly, "Bumpkin."
"Master Frank is an excellent steak fryer, but it's a pity that he never leaves the royal city. Look at me, I forgot that this is your first time in the royal city and you have never eaten or seen it before. Please forgive my rudeness." She half covered her face with a fan, her tone without any apology, and even the upturned corners of her eyes revealed sarcasm.
Ruan Ruan: "I've certainly never seen it before. Is it delicious?" If it tastes good, she is willing to spend some money to comfort her injured taste buds.
"One gold coin per portion, so it's naturally delicious."
One gold coin is equal to one hundred silver coins, one silver coin is equal to one hundred copper coins, and one copper coin can buy a large loaf of black bread.
This price is indeed expensive enough.
"You have eaten?"
Lilith: ...This is absolutely insulting.
Ruan Ruan: "Have you really eaten it? Is it delicious? Doesn't it have any weird taste?" She didn't want to spend money and be cheated.
Lilith was so angry that her breathing quickened. She said angrily, "I just bought one yesterday. Do you think I've eaten it? You can taste it yourself to see if it tastes good or not. This lady gave it to you as a reward!"
She pointed at the plate of beef and angrily said to the servant, "Give it to her, poor girl who has never seen the world!"
This was because he was so angry that he had a falling out.
Ruan Ruan didn't care that she said she was poor. After all, she was indeed poor, and she had to spend the gold coins she got from Viscount Dutt sparingly.
Since she got a steak for free, Ruan Ruan pretended not to see her ugly face and took out her knife and fork to cut a piece of beef.
There is a small piece of pink in the middle of the brown cross section, with less blood and it looks good.
Lilith caught a glimpse of her movements from the corner of her eye and snorted coldly.
Why are you pretending? Do you know how to eat?
"yue~"
Ruan Ruan spit it out directly.
As soon as I put it in my mouth, the fishy smell of beef went into my nose and I couldn't swallow it.
She waved her hands, pushing the plate away while wiping her mouth, "Sorry, I'm not used to it. I really can't enjoy it."
The meal worth this gold coin should be reserved for the nobles. Ruan Ruan even felt a little sympathetic towards Lilith. She could still say it was delicious even if it was cooked like this.
Poor child, he has never eaten anything good.
