Hire a killer organization

Occasionally pausing, Irina would look outside the prison cell, hoping to see someone she knew coming to take her back.

But no one came!

Why didn't father come?

Neither did Arthur! Even the person who was supposed to come with the imperial decree to release her didn't show up!

The dungeon was damp and gloomy. Occasionally, some annoying magic insects and rat beasts would pass by. It was really filthy and unbearable. She didn't want to stay here for a single moment.

She was unwilling and a resentful look flashed in her eyes.

At this moment, it should be that bitch Alice who was here, not her!

During this excruciating wait where every second felt like a year, Irina's resentment and anger towards Alice reached their peak.

She should have stabbed Alice to death with a random sword that time and left her with no chance of survival!

...

About two hours later, a young and handsome man in a blue robe walked in, followed by two rows of guards.

When Irina saw Arthur, she was excited and happy, but at the same time, a sense of grievance rose in her heart.

"Your Highness..." Irina called out in a delicate and plaintive voice.

"Open the door quickly!" Arthur said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Highness the Third Prince."

The guard opened the door for Irina with a key.

Irina walked out with teary eyes, just about to throw herself into his arms and pour out her heart, but he slightly avoided her, and a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.

Irina happened to catch his disgusted look.

She felt humiliated and didn't understand why he was disgusted with her.

Irina looked at him, with a bit more resentment in her eyes.

She tried hard to calm and suppress her emotions. Soon, she regained her former gentle and charming posture.

Irina curtsied slightly and said in a distant voice: "Irina greets Your Highness the Third Prince."

Hearing her distant tone, Arthur couldn't help but frown, and then waved his hand to dismiss the guards and walked up to Irina, saying in a low voice:

"Irina, I've heard about what happened last night. Now the rumors about you and me have spread all over the capital. I can't hold you in public, not only for my own sake, but also for your reputation."

Hearing this, Irina's resentment lessened a bit.

Arthur asked with a hint of anger: "However, what's the deal with you and the Fifth Prince?"

Irina immediately explained in a flustered manner: "Your Highness, I really have no affair with the Fifth Prince. It's Alice who has an affair with the Fifth Prince. She framed me this time and made the Empress Dowager disappointed in me!"

"I don't know what's going on! Since coming back from the Flaming Forest, Alice has been targeting me. She not only made the hidden guards of the Alva family attack me but also had them throw me out of the Alva family's gate, making me look bad in public..."

Saying this, Irina sobbed pitifully and continued: "I forgave her that time, but for some reason, she targeted me everywhere at this flower banquet..."

Arthur frowned subconsciously when he heard the name "Alice".

After hearing about Alice's various bad deeds, he hated her even more.

Since childhood, he had been ridiculed everywhere because of this useless fiancée. Even though he was a genius in the Augustan Empire, he was stigmatized because of Alice and became a laughingstock!

Arthur said in disgust: "That useless person should stay in a corner and not come out to block our way!"

Irina pretended to look at him in surprise, "Your Highness..."

"There's a killer organization in the Augustan Empire. I wonder how much Alice's life is worth?" Arthur had a sinister and murderous look in his eyes.

Irina suppressed her inner joy and said with a seemingly reluctant expression: "Your Highness, Alice..."

He interrupted her and said in a deep voice: "I know you're kind-hearted, but Alice has framed you many times. This grudge must be avenged! Not only for you but also for the resentment I've held in my heart for so many years. Don't try to persuade me, okay?"

Irina lowered her head, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She would never persuade him!

She wished that bitch would die a thousand times or ten thousand times!

Alice slept until noon. After getting up and having a meal, she went to the Spirit Pool Pavilion on the west side of the duke's mansion to visit her aunt.

Inside the room, a pale and pitiful woman was lying motionless on the bed.

Alice's blood pupil reopened earlier than expected, so she was going to use the blood pupil to examine the inside of her aunt's body this time.

Alice put her index finger and middle finger together, condensed spiritual power and made a light stroke in front of her closed eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, the strange and crimson blood pupil appeared!

She carefully examined her aunt Emily's body from head to toe and found that it was worse than she had imagined!

After seven years of paralysis, toxins had accumulated in her aunt's legs. The calf muscles were almost in a necrotic state, and the dantian was also gradually contaminated by toxins!

Normally, it was difficult for the dantian to be contaminated by such toxins!

However, Miss Willie.anna of the Willie family put the Doom Bead into her aunt's abdomen. The abdomen was the closest place to the dantian.

The evil spirit of the Doom Bead polluted her aunt's dantian.

Alice's eyes were filled with cold and fierce light. She had been too lenient with those people from the Willie family!

Alice withdrew her pupil technique, sat on the bedside of her aunt Emily, held her slightly cold hand and said: "Aunt, wait a little longer. When I find the last medicinal ingredient, I can cure you."

The last medicinal ingredient was the Purple Moss Flower Fruit!

The Purple Moss Flower Fruit was a low-level earth-grade spirit herb! It was extremely expensive!

Moreover, in a small country like the Augustan Empire, it was really hard to find.

Now, she could only go to the Herb Hall or the Spiritual Heaven Auction to have a look.

She had been to the black market two days ago and traded fifty runes with the black market manager. She was now considered a little rich.

If she couldn't find it in the Herb Hall and the Spiritual Heaven Auction, she would go to the Flaming Forest to look for it.

After returning to the Skylark Pavilion, she took Rose and six guards and went out.

She had a reputation of being useless outside. If she went out without guards, she would be asking for trouble!

She didn't plan to reveal her strength yet. Bringing some guards was beneficial. At least it could intimidate others.

This time, she would first go to the Herb Hall to ask if they had the Purple Moss Flower Fruit.

Rose asked in confusion: "Miss, why did you suddenly go out today?"

"Go to the Herb Hall and have a look." Alice reached out and flicked Rose's forehead.

Rose let out a light "hiss", covered her forehead and rubbed it, and said in shock: "Go to the Herb Hall? Miss, are you kidding?"

Rose immediately looked sad.

Even the six guards following Alice showed surprise and embarrassment.

Alice looked at her and said: "Do I look like I'm kidding?"

Rose tried to persuade her earnestly: "…No, but Miss, you have to think clearly. That's the Herb Hall. Transactions are made with spirit stones."

Alice: "..." Of course I know.

Rose thought she had no money and might be insulted by the people in the Herb Hall.

Alice patted her on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry. I have plenty of spirit stones."
