Fortunately, Irene managed to sneak all the way to the base of the palace wall without being discovered.

Irene intended to climb over the wall and escape, but at this moment, there were sounds of beating and cursing coming from the corner in front of her.

“How dare you steal the Princess’s jewelry, slave!”

Irene poked her head out to look. Two men dressed as soldiers seemed to be surrounding a person.

With a swing of the stick, the person let out an agonizing whine, accompanied by the sound of jewelry falling to the ground. Even Irene felt the pain when she heard it.

“I’m gonna kill you, you traitor!” After a few more strokes, the agonizing whines became weaker and weaker. Finally, the tragic sound came to an abrupt end.

“Throw him to the hounds. Don’t waste it,” one of them instructed. He was cold and heartless, as if he had only killed a dog.

The soldiers that Ronald had trained were as cruel as he was. She definitely must not fall into his hands.

Irene quickly retracted her head and tiptoed away in a hurry. As she ran, she recalled that even if the servants had made a huge mistake in Xandia, they would not be beaten to death just like that.

The people here were really heartless.

If they found out that she had escaped and caught her, wouldn’t she be thrown into the kennel and bitten to death?

The more Irene thought about it, the more afraid she became. She stepped on a stone and subconsciously let out a cry of surprise. “Ah!” She fell to the ground.

Just as she was about to get up, she heard the sound of an arrow. Irene looked up in fear. A mouse that wanted to sneak out of the palace through a small hole was nailed to the wall by a sharp arrow.

The soldier helped Irene up. “Princess, are you okay?”

Irene forced herself to calm down and shook her head. She used the action of dusting herself to cover the panic in her heart. “I’m fine.”

“Princess, you’re new here. Don’t go the wrong way. I’ll send you back to your room. Someone will come to let you try on your wedding dress in a while. It’s better if you don’t run around, Princess.”

After returning to her room, Irene sat on the bed in a daze for a while before someone knocked on the door. Irene seemed to have snapped out of her fear and tried to calm down. “Please come in.”

The tailor who made the wedding dress had brought her the wedding dress.

Her figure was very similar to that of a princess, so the wedding dress was especially fitting.

Irene looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a pure white wedding dress. Her waist-length golden hair was put in a high bun, and her crown was decorated with diamonds. It was dazzling.

She was very beautiful in the mirror, and her temperament was also very elegant. She was like a real princess.

But she knew very well that she was a fake, so after looking for a while, she did not dare to look again, and clenched her fists tightly.

It was impossible to escape. She could only hope that the general was not as brutal as the rumors said, and that she would find another opportunity to leave this place!

Three days later.

Irene was urged by Jane to wake up early in the morning. Looking down from the window, there were already many people entering and leaving the palace, and all of them were busy.

When Irene was led to the wedding hall, there was already a man standing in front of the red carpet.

The man’s back was straight and tall. He wore a black suit and looked like a gentleman. He did not look like a general in battle.

Irene lowered her head and put her arm around the man’s arm under the guidance of the maid. The man whispered in her ear, “Mrs. Ronald, I can hear your heartbeat even from here.”

Even through the suit, Irene could feel the man’s tense muscles. She could not help but tighten her hand on the man’s arm.

Irene felt the hot breath coming from him, and her face instantly felt hot.

Ronald felt her movement and chuckled. “Your face is almost as red as the roses next to her.”

The two of them walked to the front step by step, accompanied by the piano’s melody.

In the gentle and romantic music, the priest said touching vows and finally asked the two of them if they would agree.

“I do.” “I do.” Two voices sounded at the same time.

The female voice was soft and charming, while the male voice was sexy and deep. The guests could not help but stand up and applaud, congratulating the couple.

Only Irene knew that her legs were trembling crazily under her dress.

She was really afraid that Ronald would find out if she showed any strange expression!
