The next two days Iris almost indulged herself. Of course, she didn’t indulge herself too much. She just indulged in sleeping, drinking tea, eating snacks and watching stage plays.
If she is too indulgent, the mother will definitely not let herself go. She will definitely have to implement the set of etiquette again on Iris, and perhaps add a bunch of new etiquette in it.
If Iris goes to a place she shouldn't go, her mother can break Iris's legs and keep her in bed for months.
If the leg is really broken by the mother, the mother will not let Iris comfortably recuperate, and then Iris must endure the pain of a broken leg to cultivate. After all, such things as meditation can be done anytime and anywhere.
Two days of comfortable life soon passed, and what Iris had done in the past two days was known to Lilia.
"Two days have passed during the two-week deadline. I would like to see what kind of stage show my good daughter can bring to Liran Day?" Lilia had a light smile on her face.
Early in the morning, Iris and Candace arrived at the Chancellor's residence. Iris was surprised to see Violet with a dark circle under her eyes.
"What's wrong with you, Violet? You look so depressed." Iris rushed forward and asked.
"What do you think is wrong with me? I've been working on your script, and I haven't slept for two nights." Violet said in a soft voice.
"Hey, it's been hard for you, Violet." Iris smiled and was a little embarrassed.
"I sat in the study for two whole days just for these four words. After Her Royal Highness's birthday is over, you have to treat me to dinner, Iris."
"No problem!" Iris did not hesitate and then agreed to Violet's request.
"This is the script. Iris, you first get familiar with it. In the evening I will go to the Sleepless Temple to find you." Violet yawned and went towards her bedroom.
Iris and Candace got the script and returned to the old castle. Iris sat in the study and studied the script with Candace.
"I'll play Bowza, Violet will play Xihen, and you can have the rest." Iris said.
"Huh?" Candace looked at Iris with a bewildered face.
"What? Except for Bowza and Xihen, there are only three roles left and these roles are insignificant, including king, queen and another actress that I compete for. So Candace, you are only an extra. If you are not willing, you can exchange your roles with me.”
"No, no." Candace hastily waved her hand and refused.
"Then you can help me copy two more scripts! One for you and one for Violet."
"...Yes, Your Highness."
"I'm going to practice my sword. Call me when you're done copying."
Before Candace could answer, Iris disappeared.
Iris took out the sword from the storage space and practicing waving it. The third sword of "Hardening" is extremely complex, and after two months in the Flame Tower, the eighty-one strokes she had practiced earlier were a bit forgotten.
Iris took advantage of this moment to start practicing, and as her body danced, a few strands of hair hanging on the side of her face began to sway against the blowing wind.
Then Iris swung her sword at the blowing wind. The wind colliding with the sword made a "whoosh" sound, as if the sword were chirping. Iris is dressed in plain clothes, like a dancing white swan. Even if she made a murderous move, it gives a woman's grace.
"Hey ~" Iris spit out a turbid gas, and muttered: "Although I did not touch the sword in two and months, I still remember the previous eighty-one moves, and there is no mistake. I am really so great."
In the past two years Iris has changed from hostility to respect for Lilia, or rather Lilia has been an integral part of Iris's life.
Iris used to want Lilia dead, but that thought has dissipated with time. Lilia is very good to Iris. As long as there is no understanding of magic problems, Lilia will patiently teach Iris, until Iris can understand. No matter what Iris wants to eat and play, Lilia will satisfy Iris at any cost. Of course, the premise is that Iris must be obedient enough. If Iris makes any mistake, Lilia will not be merciful to her.
Iris can not even think about this life. Now she doesn’t worry about food and clothing. She can sleep in a comfortable soft bed in a big room. Cultivation resources are also readily available to her, and all are given by Lilia.
Once upon a time, Iris was an orphan, without parents, and could not experience what it was like to have a home. Now Lilia has not only given Iris everything, but also a warm home. What other reason would there be to kill Lilia?
A cold wind blew on Iris. but she did not feel cold. On the contrary, she felt a little cool, or perhaps she was a little hot from practicing her sword.
"It's over! Damn." Iris saw that there was mud on the corner of her clothes. She didn’t know when it rubbed on her.
Iris hurried to the sink and started to clean the corner of her clothes, because the clothes were white. No matter how they were cleaned, they would leave a trace of black mud, as if they were born dyed.
It is not that Iris likes to wear white clothes. In fact, she knows that white clothes are very easy to get dirty, but these are the wishes of her mother, and Iris does not dare to disobey. Therefore, in Iris' closet, her clothes were all white, with only a few custom-made dresses appearing in other colors. The purpose of the mother making her wear white is to give Iris a princess look, and getting dirty means that Iris was slacking off on herself.
"Forget it, explain to the mother and she should be able to believe it. First go back to the house to see how much Candace copied." Iris murmured.
Candace stretched, "Finally finished copying two scripts, so tired! Your Highness is too mean. She even still remembers what happened three years ago."
"Who's being mean?" Iris's delicate voice came from behind Candace.
"Your Highness! Why are you here." Candace looked at Her Highness behind her with trepidation.
"Hey, scolding me in private. I think you should know what the consequences are, Candace~" A playful smile appeared on Iris's face.
"Please chastise me, Your Highness." Candace kneeled in front of Iris and didn't dare to look up.
Iris really wanted to torture Candace. After all, when she first came here she and her mother did torture her too much. In these two years in the blood race Iris basically live in the Sleepless Temple, rarely returned to the ancient fortress. But at the moment Iris still needs Candace to come over as an actress, otherwise she definitely let Candace in bed to lie two weeks.
"Forget it, did you finish copying the script?" Iris asked. The original playful smile instantly disappeared and was replaced by a serious look.
"Thank you for your mercy, Your Highness." Candace hurriedly kowtowed to express her gratitude, and then presented the script to Iris with both hands: "Your Highness, both copies have been transcribed. Please check."
"Get up, go and memorize the lines that belong to you. Make sure you know them by heart, and never make any mistakes during the performance."
"Yes, Your Highness." Candace picked up the script and began to memorize it.
Iris was no exception, and she also picked up the script and began to recite her lines.
"By the way, Candace, you have finished copying the script twice. After memorizing it, you go and set the scene according to this script." Iris asked.
"Yes, Your Highness." Candace replied.
