The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop

Chapter 268: Chapter 9: The Fallen Noble Lady

The next morning, when Tianmiao woke up, she met Lou Sha’s ”infatuated” gaze.

”You’re awake. Are you hungry? When we go out, I’ll treat you to something delicious,” Lou Sha whispered.

”Alright, it’s a promise then,” Tianmiao smiled slightly.

”I’ll take you hunting, and I’ll roast meat for you. My roast is really tasty, especially the roasted rabbit.” Lou Sha envisioned, ”Ah, what kind of outfit should I prepare for you? You would surely look amazing in hunting gear. I’ll have a pair of deerskin boots custom-made for you, and a small dagger, encrusted with many gems. That would be fitting for you.”

Tianmiao pursed her lips in a smile. This little girl was really adorable.

”Get up! Everyone, get up, and change your clothes. Clothes are in the cupboard, pick them yourself.” An older maid opened the door, gruffly shouted.

Lou Sha led Tianmiao to a large wardrobe in the room, opened it to look at the clothes inside, and frowned. Were these clothes really meant for maids? The material and style seemed too good.

Tianmiao looked at the various Western-style dresses, considering which one to choose. Lou Sha had already reached out and picked one.

”Tianmiao, I think this one suits you.” Lou Sha gazed at Tianmiao with starry eyes, ”You’ll definitely look stunning in it.”

Tianmiao looked at the pink dress in Lou Sha’s hand and tilted her head as if to say, are you serious, little girl?

In the end, Tianmiao couldn’t resist Lou Sha’s choice and put on the dress she had selected for her. The pink skirt, puffy sleeves, and slim waist made Tianmiao look exquisitely like jade.

”So, so beautiful.” Lou Sha wiped nonexistent drool from the corner of her mouth, ”Ah, I could just watch you like this and go days without food.”

In the East, we describe it as enchanting enough to replace a meal. Tianmiao couldn’t help but think.

”Wait for me, I’m changing clothes too.” Lou Sha quickly changed into a dress and then took Tianmiao to freshen up. When it was time to eat, Lou Sha proposed to meet with Duke Andophin.

The older maid was about to sneer mockingly when Lou Sha’s aura suddenly changed. She lifted her head and said word for word, ”I command you in the name of Baron Bariman, to immediately take me to see Duke Andophin. I have urgent matters to discuss with her.”

The maid was intimidated by Lou Sha’s aura and went to report the matter.

Soon someone came to take Lou Sha to meet Duke Andophin. Lou Sha nodded slightly at Tianmiao, gave her a reassuring look, and followed them.

Tianmiao sat in the chair, sighing gently in her heart. This time, Lou Sha was bound to return empty-handed. The foolish decision made by the King was indeed as Duke Andophin feared. Upon hearing that a Baron’s daughter was thrown into this game, the nobles first felt thrilled and later started to feel uneasy as chills ran down their spines. The look in their eyes towards the King was no longer the same as it used to be.

Later, Lou Sha was supposed to escape but tragically died due to a mad employee causing her escape attempt to fail. Ai Ke, who had been searching for Lou Sha, arrived too late, witnessing her tragic death and the King’s sinister, satisfied smile. Ai Ke turned completely dark, and after planning for half a year, seized the throne, with many nobles siding with Ai Ke.

After Ai Ke took power, he imprisoned his father and brutally murdered Andophin. All the nobles who had watched this escape game were executed in secret, one by one. Next, Ai Ke issued a series of decrees, including that men were forbidden to keep mistresses. If found with a mistress, a man would be executed by hanging, and the woman who was the mistress must personally perform the execution and then be beheaded. As time went on, the decrees became more oppressive, plunging the entire country into terror. This world was on the brink of collapse.
