Return of the Crowned Heiress
The remaining five infirenaries split into two groups, following the routes Felicia had planned.
Scarlet, on the other hand, followed Felicia down a different path.
The night was pitchâblack, and the flashlight they had wasnât the most powerful kloud, post the most basic one. As soon as it was turned on, it was swallowed by the surrounding darkness. 11 only illuminated the path right underfoot and not the distant surroundings.
In such dense darkness, the thick forest around them seemed like ghostly shadows, When the wind blew, making them sway, the eerie atmosphere reached its peak! scarlet rubbed her arm, feeling the hairs on her body stand on end. She turned to look at Felicia, who appeared unaffected. She walked at a calm pace with no hint of fear in her demeanor, even in this environment.
âBoss, arenât you afraid at all? Scarlet asked, confused.
Felicia continued walking forward, observing the terrain and tracks. She replied casually, âNo.â
She had walked alone through the night and scaled most of a mountain in a perilous rainforest. This mountain that lacked even threats from wild animals was the least of her worries. Back in the rainforest, she was even targeted by a giant python!
For Felicia, the darkness wasnât frightening. What was terrifying were the people hiding in it.
The sound of fallen leaves underfoot echoed as Scarlet followed closely behind, aslong again, âWhy
âNo way. Youâre definitely lying to me!â Scarlet shook her head, clearly unconvinced.

Felicia answered nonchalantly, âWhen I was younger, the school was tar away from the village, and I had to cross mountains to get there. Itâs not just walkin through the night. Iâve also walled through a graveyard before.
At this point, Felicia paused.
The memories of her childhood, which she thought she had long forgotten, flooded back clearly when she spoke about it.
âWhen I passed the graveyard during the day, I wasnât scared. But at night, I would walk past it with my eyes closed. I didnât dare to look up or around until I saw the lights of the village. Only then would I feel safe.
âAs I got used to it, it didnât feel like much. As time passed, I continued to walk the path alone. Sometimes, Iâd even intentionally slow down and rest by the graveyard. Because at that time, the couple with sticks and whips wouldnât dare to come near.â
Felicia laughed as she spoke.
Scarletâs expression shifted from disbelief to silence, and the two of them continued walking Inquiet companionship for a while.
After a long pause, Scarlet said again, âI have a younger sister. When our parents divorced, I stayed with my mom, and she stayed with my dad. We were both young and promised that weâd meet again when we had the chance.
âBut later, that man remarried, and they had a fat son. My sister was abused to death by them. Then, my mom found a new husband and had another child. My stepfather wasnât a good person either..â
Scarlet didnât continue and just offered a hollowed laugh. She concluded, âAnyway, they all paid the price.â
Felicia paused for a moment, saying nothing she just stood still.
When Scarlet caught up and was about to ask why they had stopped, she was suddenly enveloped in a warm embrace. Some foms of comfort were silent, Scarlet froze for a moment, then gently placed her chin on Feliciaâs shoulder and let out a soft, faint smalle.
