Chapter 891: Goodbye, Beatrice (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
If Beatrice could reveal her ident.i.ty and take the initiative to ask Qin Lang to take her away, Qin Lang would most likely take her away, considering her blood relationship with his good friend Mo Yelou.
As long as she left with Qin Lang, she could prevent her tragic fate of becoming a woman in the future. She could prevent the tragedy of Jessica blocking punches and kicks for her and dying in pain.
Beatrice’s lips quivered as she shouted hoa.r.s.ely, “Mr. Qin, I…”
The words were on the tip of her tongue when Beatrice suddenly hesitated.
She suddenly realized that she was currently experiencing a test given to her by the ancient merman. All of this in front of her was a tragic past that had happened long ago.
The ancient merman had given her to two choices before all the tragedies happened. One, she could tell Qin Lang and if she was successfully saved, she would have a brand new life. Two, she wouldn’t tell Qin Lang and let everything develop according to the original plan. As for her, she would carry the burden of her tragic past and live an optimistic life with resilience.
It had to be said that this was a very tempting choice.
The miserable life in the Lion Clan’s royal family during her youth was the most painful experience in Beatrice’s life. The ancient merman must have sensed the pain and fear in her heart and deliberately sent her back to this time.
When a stray cat that was on the verge of death from hunger suddenly saw a can of delicious cat food, would it wolf down the can? Or would it ignore it?
Even if the can was poisoned, the stray cat wouldn’t be able to resist its desire for food and survival. It would rush to the can without hesitation. It would rather be poisoned to death while full than starve to death.
And Beatrice was that stray cat.
When she saw the canned food, she knew that it was most likely poisoned, but she still wanted to reach out and grab the canned food.
“What are you trying to say?” Qin Lang heard Beatrice’s call, so he could no longer pretend to be unaware.
He was really a good person.
He was Beatrice’s only hope.
Beatrice wanted to grab the rope and climb ash.o.r.e with him.
However, in the end, Beatrice closed her eyes and resigned herself to fate. “Mr. Qin, I heard that the Divine Moon Empire has already abolished slavery. I really envy the people of the Divine Moon Empire. And you, who are loved by the citizens of the Divine Moon Empire, are also a good person.”
“G.o.d bless you.”
With that, Beatrice lowered her head and continued wiping the floor.
After Qin Lang heard Beatrice’s words, he showed pity and sorrow. However, Beatrice was a slave of the Lion Clan. If he asked the Lion Clan for ownership of Beatrice, the Lion Clan would definitely take the opportunity to make some stipulations.
Qin Lang was here on behalf of the Divine Moon Empire to establish diplomatic relations. He definitely wouldn’t give up any of the country’s interests.
Nodding, Qin Lang said, “I wish you happiness in the future.”
Telling a slave ‘I wish you happiness in the future’ was like telling a terminal cancer patient ‘I wish you longevity’. However, Qin Lang sincerely hoped that Beatrice would live a happy life in the future.
Beatrice didn’t respond to Qin Lang. She just continued to wipe the ground quietly.
The eldest prince glanced at Beatrice with a faint smile. Of course, he knew that what Beatrice really wanted to say wasn’t these words. He could even guess what she wanted to say. He actually hoped that Beatrice would say those words. Once Qin Lang knew Beatrice’s true ident.i.ty, he definitely wouldn’t tolerate Mo Yelou’s cousin being a slave of the Lion Clan’s royal family.
At that time, Qin Lang would definitely ask him for Beatrice’s ownership. As the eldest prince, he could take the opportunity to ask for more benefits from Qin Lang.
What a pity.
The eldest prince and Qin Lang left.
As soon as they left, the butler walked into the palace in an imposing manner. Without a word, he removed the chain and whipped Beatrice crazily. As he beat her, he scolded, “Little b*tch, you actually dared to ask Qin Lang for help. You’re really too big for your britches!”
Beatrice convulsed from the blows. Just as she was about to collapse from the pain, Jessica pounced on her and hugged her tightly.
When Beatrice heard Jessica’s moans, tears flowed down her face as she whispered, “I’m sorry.” This time, she still chose to abandon Jessica here forever.
Since Beatrice didn’t intend to change the past or her life, Jessica would still end up dying in order to protect her. The other merfolk would also become playthings of the Lion Clan’s royal family and be tortured to death.
However, the past was the past. She had already become a woman. No matter how unwilling she was, she could only accept this reality.
Just as Jessica had said, if she suffered as a child, she would have endless blessings when she grew up. Beatrice had already survived the most painful period. Next, she would move forward without looking back.
Goodbye, Your Highness Beatrice.
Beatrice’s mind was as indestructible and resilient as a rock.
At this moment, Beatrice finally made up her mind.
Boom!
When Mo Cui waved goodbye to the past, Jessica, the palace, the flowers, and slaves in front of her had all disappeared. She slowly opened her eyes and realized that she had successfully arrived at the end of the narrow bridge.
In front of her, two brand new forks appeared.
After Beatrice raised her head and looked at the fire dragon, she realized that the fire dragon was further away from her, so she was relatively safer. Now, she understood what the test set by the ancient merman was.
Every fork in the road was dangerous and filled with temptation.
As long as she remained determined and walked forward bravely, and overcame the pain and fear in her heart, she would successfully pa.s.s the test.
Beatrice stared at the two forks in front of her. This time, she didn’t hesitate and walked firmly towards the path on the left.
