Princess Olivia Gu

After a hearty meal, Grace held a teacup delicately in one hand, savoring each sip, while her other hand tapped rhythmically on the table.

Behind the swirling mist of tea, her gaze was deep and unfathomable...

"Princess Olivia, did you really see the Divine Dragon?" Suddenly, a voice caught her attention.

Grace looked over and saw Princess Olivia Gu.

Sitting with her were two other princesses born of concubines and several noble ladies, all chattering away non-stop.

They were all talking about the Divine Dragon that descended from the heavens in Eastwood Forest.

"I saw it! I saw it with my own eyes!" Princess Olivia exclaimed, her voice full of excitement. "If I utter even half a lie, may the gods punish me!"

On this continent, the gods were very real.

So, "may the gods punish me" was considered a very serious oath.

Hearing her say that, all the princesses and noble ladies gasped in awe, their imaginations running wild with longing for the Divine Dragon...

......

Grace wasn't very familiar with Princess Olivia.

In her previous life, after entering the palace, she became a consort while Princess Olivia remained a princess. Even when they met, it was nothing more than a nodding acquaintance.

Later, when Princess Olivia married into the Zhu Family, they saw each other even less, except during major holidays.

But after the Zhu Family was executed, Princess Olivia turned against Grace Wan and her son after their report, and left the Zhu Family with her own child...

Also, last time when Fiona Liu fell from the city wall and died, her father was nearly impeached. It was Princess Olivia who spoke up for justice and reversed public opinion, saving her father's official hat.

So, Grace felt that although Princess Olivia was pampered, she had a strong sense of justice.

She liked girls who had a sense of justice.

Coincidentally, Grace was sitting not far from Princess Olivia at that moment.

So she put down her teacup and asked, "Princess Royal, I heard from my father that you were injured in Eastwood Forest. Are you feeling better now?"

Princess Olivia glanced at her, nodded, and said, "I did get hurt, but it was just a minor injury. I'm all better now."

"Was it a spirit beast that hurt you?" Grace pressed.

"No. Deep in the forest, an Infernal Drake suddenly appeared. The spirit beasts panicked and stampeded, and I fell off a cliff trying to escape the chaos."

"You fell off a cliff?" Grace was surprised. "And only suffered a minor injury? The Phoenix Goddess must really be watching over you!"

"Yes." Princess Olivia smiled. "But I was also lucky someone saved me."

"Oh?" Grace's eyes darkened slightly. She glanced at General Evan Xiao and asked, seemingly offhand, "So which hero saved you? Could it have been... General Evan Xiao, the Prince Consort?"

"No," Princess Olivia shook her head. "I have no idea who it was—I fainted at the time."

"You fainted? Then how do you know it wasn't General Evan Xiao?" This question came not from Grace, but from one of the other princesses nearby.

Her tone sounded like a joke, but there was a definite edge of jealousy.

It’s clear that Evan Xiao really is the dream husband every girl in Danyang City wants.

Princess Olivia replied, "The person who saved me brought me to my maid, who saw him—and it wasn’t General Xiao. Besides, General Xiao shouldn’t have been in the forest at that time, right?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Evan Xiao.

The moment her eyes met his—cold, emotionless, almost inhuman—Princess Olivia shivered involuntarily.

What kind of person was he... She only felt fear. Why did her mother insist on marrying her to him?

Just then, Princess Olivia’s spirit maid leaned in to whisper something in her ear.
