Eve’s Past

“Sigh~”

Yuan Shirui rested her hands on the sink, the retching showing no signs of stopping.

She looked up at her pale face in the mirror.

In order not to expose her identity, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and eat with Su Ran and the others.

Even the vegetables, which looked similar to magical food, tasted completely different once they entered her mouth.

The taste of the food was like corrosive mold, like the sour stench of garbage that had been fermenting for three days and nights.

It was even worse than any slop or sewage.

Yuan Shirui endured the discomfort.

After returning, she found a random excuse and rushed into Winnie’s room.

There was a private bathroom here, and with Winnie on guard, there was no need to worry about Su Ran noticing.

“Are you feeling better?”

Seeing that Su Ran hadn’t noticed Yuan Shirui’s abnormality, Winnie closed the door, locked it, and asked with concern.

“This food with no magic essence is too disgusting. I almost thought I was going to die.”

Taking a few pieces of tissue to wipe the corner of her mouth, Yuan Shirui placed them in front of the sink, her face contorted in a grimace.

The taste of the food still lingered in her mouth, not having dissipated.

When she had just thrown up, she had experienced that foul stench all over again.

“This is to teach you a lesson. You got carried away and dared to eat outside. Humans think we only drink blood.”

Winnie walked over to Yuan Shirui and poked her on the head.

Fortunately, Yuan Shirui knew the gravity of the situation and didn’t show any abnormality in front of Su Ran, eating everything down.

Otherwise, this small abnormality could easily arouse others’ suspicion.

“Feifei and the others all said that since we earned money, we should spend it outside. It wouldn’t be good for me to be the only one to be a wet blanket.”

As Yuan Shirui spoke, she could still smell the odor coming from her own mouth.

“Her Highness the Princess eats this kind of food with no magic essence every day. How can she stand it?”

Thinking of the stories she had heard about Her Highness the Princess, that she could eat the food every day without a change in expression, Yuan Shirui’s heart was filled with nothing but admiration.

“Her Highness the Princess’s reaction at the beginning was about the same as yours now.”

Hearing Yuan Shirui’s words, Winnie recalled the memory of Eve eating food for the first time two years ago.

She also ate it and then threw it up.

Perhaps the only thing better than Yuan Shirui was that she was able to accept it more calmly.

“Actually, bringing her meals is also a solution.”

At that time, seeing the weariness between Eve’s brows, Winnie had offered her another choice.

“I can adapt.”

However, she was immediately refused by Eve, who continued to put another small portion of food into her mouth to adapt in smaller quantities.

For the first year, Eve forced herself to adapt to the taste of the food.

After she gradually mastered the use of the Soul Vessel, she no longer needed to endure it.

“So, Her Highness the Princess endured this state for at least a year?”

From Winnie, Yuan Shirui received an affirmative answer.

After listening to Winnie tell of Eve’s past, Yuan Shirui almost forgot the lingering taste in her mouth.

Until her stomach churned, Yuan Shirui couldn’t help but say, “Manager, do you have a blood pack? Let me have a sip.”

Winnie shook her head helplessly, took out a small bag from a hidden compartment in her room, and threw it to Yuan Shirui, reminding her, “Remember to clean up the trash after you finish drinking. Don’t let Xiao Ran find it.”

Her two small canine teeth showed, and Yuan Shirui bit into the blood pack.

Slurp, slurp, slurp~

Su Ran didn’t know what was happening in Winnie’s room because she had already entered the Witch Game.

Stepping on solid ground again, Su Ran found that after just a few days in a wheelchair, she was already starting to miss the days of walking freely.

“Your Highness!”

Isa noticed Su Ran appear behind her and jumped up to hug her.

In the few days that Su Ran had not appeared, Isa had been concocting healing potions in the Witch’s Society and occasionally trying to use her witch ability, attempting to discover more uses for it.

As for the experiment of merging her spirit into magic essence, taking advantage of the quiet days, Isa had also grasped the knack and was gradually beginning the transformation.

Su Ran reached out to catch her, and a fragrant, supple, and soft body entered her arms.

“Isa.”

Completely immersed in the scent of Her Highness Su Ran, hearing Her Highness’s call, Isa subconsciously replied, “What is it, Your Highness?”

“Have you gained weight?”

The delicate body that had fallen into Su Ran’s arms stiffened.

Isa had thought of countless things Her Highness might say to her, but she had never thought that Her Highness would say such a thing.

“…It’s probably just Your Highness’s imagination.”

Isa’s intermittent reply and the slight flutter of her long eyelashes already revealed the lack of confidence in her heart.

She wasn’t sure if she had gained weight either.

The recent days had been much more comfortable than her time in the village.

If she had gained weight, it would be natural.

It was just that Isa would absolutely not admit this in front of Her Highness Su Ran.

“Where is Lecy now? She really has a lot of confidence in me.”

Without asking further about this matter, Su Ran asked another question.

Just now, a sweep of the map showed that most of the witches in the Witch’s Society were not here.

It could be basically confirmed that Lecy had taken most of the witches and left.

‘You know, if the five major powers were to launch a sneak attack at this opportunity, Lecy’s old nest might be completely wiped out.’

“Lecy and the others went to intercept the Church’s army, wanting to buy some more time. Knowing that Your Highness is here is also the reason why Lecy left with peace of mind.”

Isa knew what Su Ran meant.

The last test had let Erke and the others know that she would always be here.

Therefore, they were not in a hurry to make a move on the Witch’s Society.

Lecy took this opportunity to immediately lead the team and leave the Witch’s Society.

However, it was a good thing she hadn’t taken Isa with her.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to look after the house for her.

“Do you know what Lecy plans to do?”

When Su Ran had asked last time, Lecy had kept her in suspense and didn’t answer.

Now that she had already left with the team, she should have revealed some information to Isa to pass on to her, right?

Su Ran’s guess was not wrong.

Lecy had indeed revealed relevant information to Isa.

“Because the Church is traveling with an army, their marching speed is not fast, and they are also taking the main roads. According to the news that has come back, they are still three days away from Tukulu.”

“Lecy plans to add some obstacles to their necessary path. In a valley on their route, she will use falling rocks to block it and cause them to have some casualties.”

Lecy’s idea was very good.

She planned to reduce the number of the opponent’s forces before the battle with the Church, thus indirectly reducing the casualties on her own side.

And it was precisely because of Su Ran’s presence that she could personally go to the front line to carry out this plan.
