Caroline went to the dungeon again.
When the madman in the dungeon saw her, he stopped shouting.
The guard told Caroline that the princess hadn't gone mad for a long time and seemed to be showing signs of improvement.
Caroline believed that Princess Yolanda had never gone mad.
She was just pretending to be crazy to deceive and numb herself.
But everything changed when she met Caroline.
She had found new solace and hope, and naturally, she no longer needed to rely on madness.
Caroline asked the guard if the princess would be allowed to leave the prison once she had fully recovered.
The answer she received was no.
The princess is the wife of a former prince, and with the current court in disarray, no one wants to add any further complications.
Caroline dared not ask any further questions lest she arouse suspicion.
She simply went to the prison and called Princess Yolanda to her side.
Yolanda looked cautious, but eventually made it through.
Caroline said nothing, but simply took the other person's hand.
The princess's palms were unusually sticky, and the room already smelled terrible.
But Caroline was not annoyed at all; she simply held it quietly.
But...Caroline thought sadly—I can't even call her Mother.
Caroline desperately wanted to rescue the princess right now, and to free her mother, who had given her life and still loved her to this day, from the dungeon.
But she couldn't do it.
If Caroline's identity is revealed, many people may try to harm her.
She has no power now, so she can do nothing.
Therefore, Caroline cannot act rashly.
But she really wanted to save her mother, and today had been almost long enough.
She had to go out to avoid arousing suspicion.
Before leaving, Caroline said to Yolanda:
"Wait for me, I'll be back next month."
Wait for me, I will take you out sooner or later.
As Caroline walked out of the cell, the guard said to her:
"Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Annie."
"I am not Anne," Caroline's resolve grew stronger. "I am Caroline Sinclair."
Although she had to abandon everything she once cherished—everything—in order to accept this identity!
But it's definitely worth it—
perhaps.
No! It's definitely worth it.
"Yes," Caroline nodded to the guard with a smile.
Back at the Royal Armoury, I walked among the many coats of arms displayed throughout the room.
Besides Jonas, there was another Herald Officer in the Heraldry at this moment.
Jonas was brewing black tea and had placed a plate of cookies on a small round table.
He smiled and said to Caroline, "Oh! Anne! You've come at the perfect time, come and have a seat!"
At Jonas's invitation, Caroline sat down at the table:
"Why didn't you have the servants prepare these?"
"Servants are more despicable than thieves. Thieves only care about money, but servants try to steal information."
Jonas placed a cup of black tea in front of Caroline: "Try it. This is tea that Lord John of St. City gave me when he last arrived at the court. He said it came from the Far East."
John Justinian, Lord of the Holy City of Sunfire.
Caroline had been to Sun City once.
Taking a detour from Lieyang City is also a route that travels between east and west.
The advantage is that you don't have to pay the high navigation fees for crossing the Son of God Canal.
Therefore, it was not surprising to Caroline that John was able to obtain tea from the Far East.
Caroline took a sip: "Good tea."
"Lord John said that this tea tastes just as good when it's cold, especially with sugar added."
Easterners love to add sugar to their dishes, and Caroline does indeed enjoy that sweet taste.
Jonah paused, then continued:
"I hope this tea can help stabilize your emotions."
Upon hearing this, Caroline was startled.
Do I look like I have something on my mind right now?
But before she could figure it out, Jonas spoke again:
"And, to help you regain some energy—Annie, there's something I need you to do."
Caroline then relaxed a little.
She doesn't hate work; in fact, being busy makes her feel relaxed.
"Please give your instructions, Lord Jonas."
"Don't be nervous, it's not too difficult. The audience is about to begin, Anne. A herald is needed in the audience hall to take notes."
Upon hearing this, Caroline nodded without hesitation:
"I'll go prepare right away."
"Hmm," Jonas nodded in satisfaction, "I've already taken care of things. You just need to go directly to the main hall."
"yes-"
Caroline didn't delay any longer and immediately got up and went to the audience hall.
Inside the main hall, everything was ready.
The knight in charge of the ceremony today is named Gad.
Caroline had never met this person before, so she didn't rush to strike up a conversation.
She found a small table nearby with paper and pens on it.
The location and job have been found; now all that's left is to complete the task.
Caroline let out a long breath.
Just then, Caroline saw a short-haired man in a leather tuxedo walk into the hall.
He glanced around briefly, his gaze finally settling on Caroline.
Then he walked straight toward Caroline.
From the badge on the other person's chest, Caroline knew that this was the kingdom's prime minister, Ryan Ramirez.
He was also the Duke of Ramirezlin, and the famous Porto Marrow was one of his directly administered cities.
Caroline knew very well that Jonas had put her in this job so that she could have an opportunity to meet the current Prime Minister.
She bowed and said, "Your Excellency the Prime Minister."
"You're Anne Booker? I've heard Jonas mention you before; he spoke highly of you."
I didn't say, "Yes, Prime Minister, thank you for remembering."
"Okay, work hard."
"Yes."
"You are the first female herald in the Royal Heraldry Academy. Don't bring shame to the Academy, and don't bring shame to your alma mater either."
Caroline would never let that happen.
But she nodded and thanked Ryan.
Then, Ryan walked to the throne next to the Great Scripture and sat down in place of the old king.
Caroline's attention, however, was focused on that enormous book.
The last time she came to the main hall, she heard the Heavenly Gift Grand Ceremony speak to her.
It seems to want Caroline to read it.
Caroline loved reading, especially such legendary books.
However, the Guardian Knights would not allow anyone to casually browse through this book.
Caroline had no choice but to give up.
She could hear the sounds of books since she was a child, but she rarely encountered books with such a specific request.
Last time, there were two extraordinary books that Caroline was asked to remove from a library.
Now that something similar has happened again, Caroline has to be careful.
However, during today's grand ceremony, not a single word was spoken to Caroline.
This is very unusual.
Why were the books willing to talk to her last time, but not this time?
Was there something special about last time?
Caroline is lost in her memories.
