Stolen Crown Princess (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 114

Eustia stared blankly into space with unfocused eyes.

From the moment Ibelia came looking for her, sat across from her to share tea, to when Liurian suddenly appeared, gathered the collapsed girl in his arms, and hurriedly left the Empress’s Palace—
