Iris ran forward until dawn, and she didn't stop until she felt safe.

"Phew... so tired." Iris lay on the ground.

"Gurgling... gurgling..." As soon as Iris lay down, her stomach growled in protest.

"Oh no, I haven't eaten anything for a whole day and night. I need to find food quickly." Iris looked around, but there was nothing to eat in the wilderness.

Her storage space and the ring given by her grandmother had been taken by Lilia. Iris was not only penniless but also hungry.

"Perhaps White Sun can find food. After all, White Sun has been with Mavis for so long. It should have learned some useful skills. Mavis is an S-level adventurer, and she probably wants to kill me at this moment." Iris sighed.

In fact, Iris herself didn't understand why there was her magic breath on that black and red angular piece. Moreover, that thing was found in her grandmother's body. It seemed that this frame-up had been planned for a long time. But how did the culprit replicate her magic breath? After all, everyone's magic breath is unique. Wait... perhaps that wasn't a replication, and it was her own.

Iris had a headache for a while. "Forget it, it's already like this. Let's just leave it for now. I'll go to find Lilia to settle the score when I become more powerful. The most important thing now is to fill my stomach."

Then Iris summoned White Sun and said, "White Sun, I'm hungry. Can you find something to eat?"

"What? Mom, can't you afford to eat outside the palace?" White Sun was surprised.

"Do you ever talk like that? There's probably a lot of wanted posters for me right now. Do you think I can get food? Besides, all props in my storage space and the ring my grandmother gave me have been taken by Lilia. So where can I find food in this wilderness?" Iris replied.

Without saying a word, White Sun took Iris and ran forward. White Sun's speed was extremely fast, several times faster than Iris’s. In no time, they entered the jungle.

"White Sun, where are we?" Iris asked.

White Sun shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. But White Sun knew that there would be food in the forest.

"Whatever, let's eat first."

White Sun also nodded silently because he was quite hungry too.

He spits out his tongue and senses the breath particles in the surrounding environment.

"Mom, there is a deer a kilometer ahead." White Sun looked ahead.

"Hehe, there's prey. I can have a good meal today." Iris smiled.

In a moment, White Sun carried Iris and hid in a tree, quietly observing the white deer that was eating.

The deer looks very handsome, with white hair, white fur, its ears with a few white pointed ears. Its pair of purple eyes are particularly charming.

At this time, White Sun stared at the deer, red pupils flashing a bloodthirsty excitement.

The deer was very elegant, eating slowly and anxiously without realizing the danger.

Just at this moment, the white python suddenly opened its bloody mouth and pounced on the deer that was eating.

The white python attacked very fast, and the deer had no defenses at all.

The deer let out a sad cry and fell to the ground.

"Mom, come down quickly."

Iris jumped off the tree after hearing White Sun's call.

"Mom, the deer seems to be alive!" White Sun said.

Iris was surprised and took a closer look. The deer was only seriously injured and not dead. The white python coiled around the deer and then bit off its neck.

"Mom, you eat first and the rest will be mine." White Sun said.

Iris nodded slightly. After all, she was a bloodsucker and only needed to suck blood to maintain her physical activity. Eating other food was just a matter of satisfying her appetite.

But White Sun was different. It really needed food, and its demand was not low. After finishing the deer, it would need to hunt other herbivorous monsters for food.

Iris revealed her fangs and drank the deer's blood. The taste was not delicious, but it was much better than having nothing.

After all, Iris was already used to drinking high-quality blood. Suddenly changing to suck animal blood made Iris feel uncomfortable.

Iris drank the blood slowly and steadily.

"Mom, this is the wilderness. You're drinking blood so slowly..." White Sun worriedly said.

Iris smirked and said, "It has become a habit for me, and I can't help it."

White Sun didn't respond, but remained vigilant, afraid that other monsters might smell the smell of blood and attack them.

After a moment, Iris finished eating and began to think about where to go next.

White Sun opened his bloody mouth and swallowed the entire deer, chewing it a few times before swallowing it down into his stomach.

"Mama, I'm not full yet, I'll go hunt some more."

Iris nodded and went hunting with White Sun. After White Sun ate his fill, he didn't need to eat for three days. After all, the stomach of the blood clan could not be compared to that of magic beasts.

The white python ate the deer, and then found other carnivorous monsters nearby, tore them apart, and ate them bite by bite.

...

At this time, Iris' wanted poster was plastered all over the blood clan territory, describing her missing right arm and stating that she was a criminal, but without specifying what crime she committed.

It was now the New Year with people coming and going on the streets.

"Anyone who can provide information about her portrait will be rewarded one million Bella, and the one who captures her will receive a bounty of one million Bella and be promoted three positions." The soldier posting the wanted poster shouted loudly on the streets of the blood clan, attracting numerous citizens.

"Hey? This person looks a lot like the Princess. If I'm not mistaken, she even came here to buy pastries not long ago." Said a pastry vendor.

"No way! How could the Princess be a fugitive?" An older man next to him ignored the wanted poster.

“YES, how could the Princess be a fugitive? She is our blood clan's future Queen." The onlookers agreed.

The pastry vendor looked closer and exclaimed, "That is the Princess all right! She has a mole underneath her left eye." The pastry vendor turned to look at the soldier posting the wanted poster.

"That's right. She used to be the Princess, but she has been deposed as the Princess, so we can't call her Princess. In fact, she's just a fugitive." The soldier explained.

"The royal lineage of the blood clan is usually passed down in a single line. So does the queen want to make us into impasse?"

With this statement, the blood clan gradually rioted. They all knew the importance of the future Queen, and believed that sacrificing all their lives to save the Princess's life would be worth it.

Normally, the Queen of the Blood could only conceive once, and there was a high probability that she would only have one heir. This was not a secret to the blood clan; almost every blood clan member knew this.

"Everyone, calm down. There is no need to worry about the issue of the blood clan's future Queen. We still have the Lady of the County." The soldier chief said.

The blood clan gradually settled down after hearing the words of the soldier chief, and then learned from him about Iris' poisoning of the Empress, causing many to be disgusted with her.

Respecting elders was a rule laid down by the first Queen of the Blood, which was directly incorporated into the law by the second Queen of the Blood. But this Princess deliberately conspired to harm the Empress, a behavior that was simply outrageous.

People around were all hurling insults at Iris, which made her reputation plummet and became a scapegoat in an instant.

After the soldier chief finished, he led the soldiers to another place to post the wanted poster, announcing the details of the incident.

The news quickly spread throughout the blood clan, causing Violet to frown upon hearing it.

Her first reaction was that someone was spreading rumors, but this kind of rumor didn't need to be taken seriously. Just wait for the results.

"But...the streets are full of the Princess's wanted posters, and they're even from the military. Maybe the Princess really did something heinous." Said the maid next to her.

“Alas...” With a sigh, Violet sighed. Iris had dared to plot against the Empress.

As Iris' good friend, Violet didn't know what to do. If she asked her grandfather to plead with the Queen of Blood for Iris, would the Queen revoke the wanted poster? After all, her grandfather was a veteran for three dynasties.

But then Violet thought this was the Queen's family affairs, and there were more than one heir to the blood clan territory, including Mavis.

"Alas, what good thing has Iris done?" Violet sighed heavily.
