Quick, I don't want to be in love anymore

Chapter 418 Adaptation of the Little Mermaid from a Fairy Tale (25)

Using her jewels, the princess traded them for necessities and found a dilapidated wooden hut left behind by hunters in the forest, where she moved in.

Once her injuries had healed somewhat and were no longer hindering her from walking, she began her journey to find Henry.

There's always a way out. Although she could only move slowly on her feet, perhaps by chance, she saw Henry spending money like water in front of a stall.

He was accompanied by an elegantly dressed lady, who was amused by the prince's generous behavior and witty remarks, covering her mouth and laughing.

If she hadn't known what kind of person Henry was, she might have envied this perfect couple.

The princess instinctively touched her face, only to find a rough layer of black gauze.

In an instant, her face beneath the black veil contorted. She gripped the hilt of the knife tightly and moved slowly toward the prince and the young lady.

Seizing the opportune moment, she shoved the young lady aside and charged straight at the prince.

She moved swiftly and with great force, and before anyone around could react, the prince had already fallen to the ground.

Upon seeing this, the people around immediately scattered, and screams and cries filled the air.

The young woman who had been pushed aside was stunned. After all, the living person who had just been chatting and laughing with her was now lying lifeless on the ground.

The murderer was squatting next to him, seemingly engrossed in his own world, shutting out everything around him.

Fortunately, her maid, after her initial shock, quickly recovered and half-helped, half-dragged her away from the scene.

The commotion naturally attracted the attention of the patrolling guards, and soon a group of people were marching in orderly steps toward them. As they approached, they clearly divided their tasks: two men pulled the princess, who was squatting on the ground, up and took her away, while the others lifted Henry up.

The group quickly left in a large entourage, leaving behind only a pool of blood on the ground, hinting at what had just happened.

The verdict was delivered quickly. The country had a strong punishment for such heinous acts, and according to the law, the princess was sentenced to death.

After this incident, it was naturally reported to the palace by Henry's men.

Upon hearing the news, the Queen paused in her work. After all, they had lived together for fifteen years, and the Queen had undoubtedly poured a lot of heart and soul into Henry.

Although Arthur is back now, she can't possibly remain completely indifferent to Henry.

She sighed deeply and ordered her men to send someone to bring back the prince's body and give it a proper burial.

She naturally told Arthur all of this, not wanting him to get the information from elsewhere and feel uneasy as if she were keeping it from him.

Upon receiving this news, Arthur naturally had many feelings.

He harbored no animosity towards Henry; after all, being replaced wasn't his fault, and he himself was just a baby when it happened.

He felt no emotion that Henry had replaced his life, after all, even if it wasn't Henry, it would have been someone else.

The culprit who caused all that he suffered has already received the punishment he deserved.

After returning, Henry didn't linger and left the palace directly. Before leaving, he carefully prepared a gift and had it delivered to him...
