Without a doubt, you're the woman I love the most.
In a certain mansion.
"Your Highness, welcome back."
An old butler dressed in a tuxedo, who looked like he came out of the Middle Ages, walked to the door and bowed respectfully to Ravel before putting away Ravel's coat.
"Wellman, didn't you say you should go to bed if it's too late? You don't have to wait until dawn. "Ravel said to the old butler with a pleasant expression.
The old man used to be a steward in the palace and watched Ravel grow up. After Ravel's faction lost the battle for the throne, he resigned from his position in the palace and planned to retire in his hometown. However, because he had sided with Ravel, he was treated unfairly. Not only that, his children were also implicated and ostracized him. After Ravel returned, he once again hired the old man to stay by his side.
Wellman smiled and shook his head. Even the wrinkles on his face were very amiable. He said, "The master hasn't returned yet, how can the servant go to bed first? This old man is useless, but I can still wait for the master to return. "
Ravel heard this and said seriously, "Wellman, I've always treated you as my family, just like my grandfather. Don't say such things in the future."
"Yes." Wellman nodded.
Ravel walked a few steps and stopped. He turned around and asked, "Right, is she asleep?"
This "she" was naturally the only mistress of this mansion.
Wellman was stunned. He sighed slightly and said, "The servant went to take a look. The young miss is still awake."
"Is that so?" Ravel's face was filled with a gentle light. Even he did not notice the joy on his face. He began to walk upstairs.
"Your Highness, I'll get someone to bathe you first." Wellman said.
"No need. I'll bathe myself later. You guys go to bed first. I'll go see her." Ravel walked up the stairs in two or three steps. He walked to the house at the end of the corridor and paused for a second before opening the door.
The room was dark and the lights were not turned on. A petite woman with long hair was standing in front of the window, quietly looking at the scenery outside.
The most striking thing was that her hands and feet were shackled. The thin and long chains were connected to the big bed. Even the slightest movement would make a clanging sound. Hearing the faint sound of the door opening, the woman turned her head to look at the person. There was no expression on her delicate face.
This person was naturally Teresa, who was publicly announced to be dead.
That day, Ravel had indeed hit Teresa. However, it was not a bullet but an anesthetic.
Ravel sealed everyone's mouths and brought Teresa back to the house he had bought in the Imperial Capital. He also got someone to bandage her wounds. Other than his trusted aides, no one else knew that there was another woman in the house.
Ravel did not turn on the lights. He gently closed the door and walked over to Teresa. He was tall and straight, and he easily pulled Teresa into his arms. His voice was very gentle, and one could feel the love in his words. "I'm back, Lacey."
Teresa leaned into the warm embrace. This embrace made her very greedy. However, when she heard the last two names, she frowned slightly but did not say anything.
Ravel was already used to Teresa's silence. After all, Lacey was also very quiet. This was also where her charm lay.
He held Teresa's face and kissed her cheek forcefully and domineeringly. His fingers twirled around her long hair. He smiled. "How was your day? Were you happy? "
Imprisoning someone in a small enclosed space like a canary for people to admire, and he actually asked her if she was happy. Other than the weirdo Ravel, there was probably no other person in the world.
Teresa guessed that Ravel probably still could not accept the fact that Lacey was dead. That was why he insisted on treating her as a dead person even though he knew that she was not Lacey. However, this game should end soon.
She was not Lacey.
"Your Highness, I am Teresa." Teresa patiently corrected Ravel.
Ravel lowered his eyes and looked at Teresa. The surroundings were shrouded in darkness, and it was strangely quiet. After a while, he smiled and hugged Teresa quietly again. He said, "No, you are my Lacey. You are sick and can't remember the past. However, I can slowly wait until the day you recover."
It was this kind of brainwashing again.
Was she sick, or was this person sick? Anyone with a discerning eye could tell.
Rather than saying that he was brainwashing her, it was more accurate to say that Ravel was brainwashing himself. He was unwilling to accept the truth. Coincidentally, he met her who looked exactly the same, so he misidentified her as another woman. Gradually, his illness began to spread.
Teresa lowered her eyes. "Your Highness, why do you have to do this?"
Ravel's chin rested on Teresa's shoulder. He intimately rubbed against Teresa's slender neck. His slightly cold lips pressed against her, causing Teresa's entire body to tremble. She wanted to push him away, but she did not have the strength to do so. Ravel's arms were like iron hoops, and she could not move at all.
"Be good and stay here obediently. After eliminating the J Organisation, I will explain to Lilith that you were forced. Lilith is a very easy girl to talk to. Although it will be difficult to get past Adam, as long as Lilith forgives you, Adam will not do anything to you."
Teresa bit her lips. She pressed her hands against Ravel's chest, and the iron chains made a clanging sound. "Your Highness, please stop talking to yourself! You clearly know that I am not … "
"Lacey, you are sick."
"I am Teresa."
Ravel smiled. He rubbed her head and said stubbornly, "See, you still say that you are not sick. You are not Teresa. You are Lacey, the woman I love. Do you understand?"
Teresa was speechless.
Ravel looked at the sky. He kissed her forehead and said, "Alright, it is already so late. You should rest. Don't let your thoughts run wild. Go to sleep."
He pulled Teresa's hand and pushed her onto the bed.
Teresa raised her head and looked at the iron chains on her hands. She smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, I feel very uncomfortable being shackled by this thing. Can you help me take it off?"
If it was just a normal iron chain, Teresa could think of a way to undo it. However, this thing was not made of ordinary pure metal. It was made of a carbonized alloy, which was harder than ordinary steel. If she did not use any tools, she would not be able to undo it.
"No. If I undo this, you will run away."
Ravel shook his head. He paused for a moment before saying, "There are servants in the house. If you need anything, just tell them. Be good and be patient for a while. I will not keep you shackled forever."
"Didn't you always say that I am your lover? Since I am your lover, why are you using this method to make me stay? "
"Because you are sick. You are not thinking clearly. If I undo the chains, you will run away." Ravel played with Teresa's long hair as if he was playing with his favorite toy. His voice was slow, as if he was chatting casually. However, the more it was like this, the more Teresa was shocked.
Ravel did not sleep in the same room as Teresa. Although he kept saying that Teresa was his beloved Lacey, he also knew that Teresa was very aggressive. Sleep in the same bed? He was not that ambitious.
Teresa watched as Ravel gently closed the door. The room was once again plunged into darkness.
She curled up on the large bed that could accommodate five or six people. Her emerald eyes shone with a sharp light.
She could not accompany Ravel in this sick game anymore.
Calculating the time, the people in the organization should have already started to carry out the plan. She should go back and not be treated as a captive.
She had to think of a way …
Ravel closed the door but did not leave immediately. His body leaned against the door. The dim light covered his handsome face with a layer of gray halo. The smile he had in front of Teresa had disappeared without a trace. His amber eyes were filled with bitterness and pain.
After a long time, Ravel straightened his body and slowly left.
Wellman was still awake. When he saw Ravel's expression, he sighed and said, "Your Highness, the water is ready for you."
"Is that so? Thank you for your hard work. "
His eyes flashed with an unreadable expression. He said to Wellman, "Wellman, there is something I want you to do."

"Bei Ah Duo, how are you feeling now? Are you nervous? "The middle-aged man put a hand on Momo's body and asked with a smile.
Mo Mo took a deep breath and looked at her extremely luxurious clothes. For the first time, she felt the beauty of human civilization. It was much better than being on the floating island. She had all kinds of servants, luxurious clothes, and delicacies. These were all things that the floating island could not compare to.
And now, she was going to climb to the top of this country.
"Uncle, did He Shaochen really come to J Country?" Momo asked the thing she was most concerned about.
The man nodded. "That's right. The Queen gave birth prematurely this time. He has been by her side the whole time."
Momo's eyes flashed with jealousy. She thought of He Shaochen and Qiao Qiao snuggling together. She laughed coldly. "The Queen is really lucky. Didn't they say that premature birth would cause death? She actually survived. She really is a scourge! Why aren't her two children deformed? "
The birth of the two children was not a good thing for them.
According to the rules of succession, the little princess had the first right of succession. The little prince had the second right of succession. Even if Momo had the edict, the support for it was not high. Everything was not set in stone yet.
"Why are you jealous? This time, the J Organisation will give you all the resources. We will definitely help you pull the Queen down. "
Momo snorted. "If only it was like what you said."
He Shaochen would look at her properly after she ascended to the position of Queen.
Momo could not forget He Shaochen. Even if He Shaochen had captured her father, Momo felt that it was all Qiao Qiao's fault. If not for her, why would He Shaochen capture her father? Why would he treat her so cruelly?
It was all her fault!
And now, she was going to take back everything that belonged to her!
Because there were people on the inside looking after her, Momo only needed to follow the script that was arranged for her from the beginning.
In the Royal Parliament Hall.
The ministers of the parliament, the acting speaker of the Elder Council, and the various influential relatives of the royal family were all discussing spiritedly. Meanwhile, Qiao Qiao was sitting at the head of the table, listening to everyone talking one after another.
