Chapter 322 Stewing Soup
Laura didn't come.
Anne walked dejectedly toward Platinum Castle.
Why didn't she come?
We won't encounter any danger, will we?
That girl is always like that; she never thinks a few steps ahead when doing things.
However, this time, perhaps Lola simply had something else to do and couldn't get away.
Lola didn't need to come see Anne every month.
No, there's no need.
but.-
Today, however, Anne desperately wants to see Lola.
Anne felt that most of the time, she played the role of a reliable older sister.
When Lola is confused, Anne always tells her directly what she should do.
But right now, it's Annie who's lost and confused.
That day, after Jonas rescued him from Reuven Sinclair's clutches.
But she told Anne that her true identity was Caroline Sinclair.
She is a member of the royal family, a princess of this country.
When she was little, Anne also imagined how wonderful it would be if she were a princess, so that she could wear countless beautiful dresses.
However, when someone actually told Anne that she was a princess, Anne didn't know how to face it.
"Is Jonas lying to me?" Anne thought. "But why would he lie to me?"
He shouldn't be a man who finds pleasure in making fun of others.
Jonas judged Anne to be a princess based on the flame-shaped scar on Anne's back.
Anne remembers the first time she discovered it was when she was a child, because she didn't want to take a bath.
She escaped from Aaron's grasp, ran naked into the hall, and then saw the scars on her back in the mirror.
Aaron did indeed give her a sharp rap on the head that time, and the pain made her burst into tears.
Then she asked Aaron where he got the scar.
Aaron said he didn't know, his tone very impatient.
Just like when Anne asked Aaron if he was her father, where she came from, and whether she had parents, Aaron's tone was the same.
Aaron carried Anne and threw her into a bucket full of water without any pity.
As she recalled this, a smile unconsciously appeared on Annie's face.
But for some reason, there was a hint of bitterness in his eyes.
So, is what Jonas said true?
Jonas said that Anne's scars were inflicted by a maid.
The maid was executed on the orders of the former King Claude Sinclair, who is the woman Jonas refers to as Anne's "
grandfather".
Jonas said he never forgot the scar; any herald has an extraordinary memory for patterns.
Anne, who was also a herald, agreed with this.
Jonas could recognize 200,000 emblems, and Anne felt she wasn't that good, but she was sure she could recognize 10,000 as well.
So, am I really a princess?
Upon closer examination, it seems that much evidence fails to substantiate this point.
Anne was a gifted reader from a young age, and could even hear the sounds of books.
According to historical records and the words of Joseph Sanders' mentor, those with the talent of photographic memory were basically members of the Sinclair family.
During her last mission, Annie discovered the switch to the underground chamber based on clues in the book.
But the secret room could not be opened by the old lady of the castle.
After that, Sean Sinclair came to try it.
He successfully activated the mechanism and opened the hidden door.
Sean can open it, and so can his father, Luca Sinclair.
But why is Annie also able to activate it?
This problem deeply troubled Anne at the time; she couldn't find anything in common with the two men.
Now, the answer seems clear.
The old lady was an outsider from another family who married into this castle; she did not have the blood of the Sinclair family in her veins.
Or, to put it another way, the blood concentration is insufficient.
Sean and Luca are both Sinclairs, and so is Anne.
Anne bit her lip, clenched her fists, and furrowed her brows.
So, am I really a Sinclair, and do I truly have royal blood flowing in my veins?
Am I really a princess?
But if that's the case, what should I do?
How should I face my past life and the people from my past?
Aaron, what should I do?
Lola—
What should I do?
Annie felt a tightness in her chest.
She wished Lola were here with her right now, so she could have someone to talk to about her feelings.
Even though Lola is just her sister, Anne wants to hear Lola's advice.
But Lola wasn't there.
She didn't come this time.
Lola... my dear sister.
Why weren't you by my side when I needed you the most?
Anne returned to the House of Armor.
Whenever Jonas saw Anne, a smile would always appear on his face.
Recently, he has become very close to Annie.
That was naturally due to the changes brought about by Anne's identity.
Of course, when there are other people around, Jonas will still call Anne "Anne" and will not add "Princess" or "Your Highness".
But Anne responded coldly, "Master Jonas, what are your plans?"
"Nothing much for now," Jonas said with a smile. "As agreed, you can rest today."
At this point, Jonas suddenly leaned close to Anne's ear and said:
"If possible, I hope you can give me some time so we can have a proper talk."
Anne knew exactly what Jonas wanted to talk about.
But Annie never gave him that chance.
She didn't want to talk, didn't want to face it, and just wanted to escape.
Therefore, she has been avoiding Jonas as much as possible lately, and is even more unwilling to be alone with him.
Anne shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Master Jonas, since you said I can rest today, I'd like to go back to my room. Goodbye."
"Ugh—"
Jonas raised an eyebrow slightly, but still nodded with a smile.
"Of course, Annie, you should think about it yourself first."
"I don't want to think about this," Anne roared inwardly. "I just want to forget it all."
Anne bowed to her superior and then left the House of Armor.
A herald stared at Anne, seemingly thinking that Anne was being treated well.
In the past, Anne would have definitely refused any special treatment.
But right now, Annie has no time or energy left to worry about her stubbornness and pride.
When Annie returned to her room, she was surprised to find that her black and white parrot had come back.
It's called "Tai Chi".
Aaron said that Tai Chi is a state of dynamic equilibrium, in which Yin and Yang blend and transform into each other.
It just so happens that this parrot is also black and white, so Annie named it that.
Before Anne's scar was discovered by Jonas, Tai Chi set off for the library to deliver a message from Anne to Aaron.
The letter tube tied to its leg contained the letter Aaron had written to it.
Anne took out the letter and read it carefully.
Looking at the familiar handwriting and the familiar style of writing, she seemed to see Aaron's face and his gentle tone.
For some reason, Anne felt increasingly melancholy.
She should have been happy about this in the past.
After reading it, Anne escaped into her bed.
"Anne! Anne!"
The parrot started squawking again.
Whenever it comes back, it always makes a ruckus.
"Shut up!"
Anne scolded.
Her mind was in turmoil.
This damn bird, can't it just be quiet for a moment?
"Aaron! Laura!"
These are the two names Anne mentioned most often when talking about birds.
Therefore, it can also recite.
"Shut up! Don't make a sound!"
Anne sat up and shouted at Tai Chi.
"Otherwise, I'll pluck all your fur and use you to make soup!"
But it doesn't work.
The bird could repeat Anne's words, but it couldn't understand the meaning behind them.
It only cares about making a ruckus.
"Soup! Soup! Soup!" Anne! Anne—
"Annie! Aaron! Laura—"
"stew-"
