Chapter 131: The crowd in the hallwayAve took a spare parchment from the drawer of the desk and hurriedly wrote down the incantation she would need and drew the pattern that was said should be drawn on the cold floor to cure a dying person. Done, she smiled and tucked it inside her dress pocket, patting it to make sure it wouldn’t fall before she left the room to go and
Scoffing and raising her chin into the air, Madeline laughed, "Worthless piece of person. I look forward to seeing you trip over yourself, and I also look forward to seeing those stupid Pendragon princesses embarrass themselves along with you." Saying this, she glared at Ave and bumped into her shoulder before she walked away with her lackeys following closely behind her.
Ave turned to look at their retreating backs and smirked. "Let’s see who will be embarrassed, Maddy. Though you have my face, I can’t help but want to put you down just like Victoria. Damn, I can’t believe I will be competing with myself," she muttered under her breath, but recalling she had something to do, she hurriedly made her way to the servants’ quarters to find Lydia.
After asking around and getting ignored by half of the people she asked, she was finally directed to a certain room where Lydia was said to be laying as she was unwell, and the head maid didn’t want her spreading her sickness to the others, so she was asked to move to the dark room at the end of the corridor in the servants’ quarters.
Once Ave got there, she pushed the door open and entered into the dimly lit room where she could hardly see anything at first, until her eyes adjusted to the darkness. Then, she found Lydia lying face up, unmoving on the cold floor, and Ave felt her heart drop to her stomach as she called the girl, but she didn’t answer.
