636 Retribution
When Huanhuan woke up, she found herself tied to a pillar.
Not far from her stood a tall, burly man. His face was hidden in the darkness, so she couldn’t see his face clearly.
However, Huanhuan still recognized him from the chain hanging on his feet. It was Cyril!
Huanhuan said in a low voice, “Did Cynthia ask you to kidnap me? Where is she? Tell her to come out. I want to talk to her in person!”
Cyril walked out of the shadows. His fierce face was expressionless and as cold as a rock.
“You’re mistaken. It wasn’t the master who kidnapped you this time.”
Huanhuan frowned. “Don’t try to lie to me. Aren’t you loyal to Cynthia? Who else can order you around?!”
Cyril didn’t answer.
Huanhuan looked around and realized that there were no doors or windows. No light could penetrate this place. It was completely dark.
To make matters worse, the green crystal bracelet on her wrist was gone, and the lotus on her head was nowhere to be seen.
Little Brat said in her mind, “While you were unconscious, Cyril took the green crystal bracelet and skullcap. He wanted to take off your ring, but he didn’t.”
Cyril must have taken the green crystal bracelet and lotus in advance to prevent her from counter-attacking with the plants.
It was obvious that the other party had planned this.
She had fallen into his trap.
Huanhuan quickly asked, “What about Eggy? How is she?”
Little Brat expressed that he didn’t know.
“I haven’t seen Eggy since you were kidnapped. Perhaps he’s hidden her.”
Unaware that she was talking to the system, Cyril asked expressionlessly, “What’s Eggy?”
“The little yellow chick that was with me. Where did you hide her?” Huanhuan stared at his face, feeling very anxious.
She didn’t care about being kidnapped, but she was worried about Eggy’s safety.
“I have your Eggy.”
Helena’s voice suddenly sounded.
Huanhuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Helena walking over. She reached out and followed an attendant. The attendant was holding a metal birdcage with a little yellow chick in it. It was Eggy, who Huanhuan missed a lot.
When Eggy saw her mother, she immediately flapped her wings and chirped as she flew toward Huanhuan.
But in the end, she bumped into the cage and couldn’t come out.
“This is your little pet, isn’t it? It’s cute.” Helena reached out to poke the little yellow chick, but Eggy caught her firmly.
Although Eggy was young, she was still the descendant of a condor. Her beak was extremely sharp. She pecked desperately and bit off a piece of flesh from Helena’s finger!
Helena was a dragon. The flesh of a dragon was extremely thick. Ordinary sharp weapons could not hurt her.
However, this chick could bite her.
From this, it could be seen that she was usually merciful to her stupid father.
Her beak annoyed Helena.
Helena covered her injured finger and ordered the attendant, “Teach this foolish bird a lesson. Let it understand who its true master is now!”
“Alright!”
The attendant put on thick gloves and opened the cage to grab Eggy.
Eggy screamed twice and nimbly dodged the capture. She took the opportunity to rush out of the cage and fly toward Huanhuan!
Cyril was the closest to Huanhuan. He saw Eggy fly over and was about to reach for her.
Huanhuan shouted at her daughter, “Escape! Go find your father!”
Eggy understood her mother’s words. She turned in the air and quickly flew out the door.
She was small and flew fast. The attendant ran after her, but she still got away. In the end, the attendant returned empty-handed and was scolded by Helena.
Huanhuan heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Eggy managed to escape.
Regardless of whether she could find Xue Ling or not, as long as Eggy could escape safely, Huanhuan would be relieved.
Helena’s original intention was to kill Huanhuan directly and cleanly to prevent future trouble.
However, the humiliation of being bitten by Eggy just now made the proud princess very unhappy. Since Eggy had escaped, she could only vent her anger on Huanhuan.
Helena said maliciously, “Do you think you can wait for reinforcements just because you let that bird escape? Don’t even think about it. This is the palace. Even if they know you’re here, they won’t be able to break in.”
Huanhuan couldn’t understand. “I have no grudges against you. Why are you attacking me?”
“There’s indeed no grudge between us, but you’re in my way.”
“What do you mean?”
“I once said in public that if someone can get rid of the evil dragon, I’ll become mates with that hero. But now, that hero has you by his side. If I don’t get rid of you, won’t I become a laughing stock in the eyes of others?”
The princess wanted to marry a hero, but the hero had a wife, so she had to get rid of the hero’s wife.
There was nothing wrong with this logic!
Huanhuan looked at her as if she was crazy. “Let me remind you that if you kill me, you’ll be Bai Di’s enemy. From what I know of him, he’ll kill your entire family in minutes to avenge me.”
She’d been with Bai Di long enough to understand that he could be cruel if need be.
He looked gentle and harmless, but if he was provoked, he would immediately go berserk.
Helena chuckled. “Don’t worry, I won’t kill you myself. I’ll find someone else to do it.”
Huanhuan was still vigilant.
Helena stared at her fair and tender face. “I remember there are a few old guys in the dragon race who especially like to play with little girls like you. I think they’ll dote on you if they see you.”
In the end, she smiled even more proudly as she thought of something.
“After those old guys play you to death, they’ll be your murderers. Your mates will naturally have to take revenge on them. I just have to watch from the side.”
Huanhuan’s face tensed. “You’ll suffer retribution.”
“Put her in a cage and give her to those old guys.”
The attendant was about to make a move when he heard Cyril speak.
“Your Highness, I suggest you kill her now. This is to avoid unnecessary trouble.”
Helena was unhappy. “It’s not your place to interfere when I do things!”
Seeing that she was stubborn, Cyril knew that he couldn’t persuade her. He could only settle for the next best thing. “Please cut off the ring finger on her left hand before you do anything.”
“Why?”
“There’s something strange about the ring on her finger. If she keeps it on, something might happen. We can’t take it off, so we’ll have to cut off her finger.”
Helena didn’t know what was so strange about the ring, but it was a good idea to cut off one of Huanhuan’s fingers. At least it would let her vent her anger at being bitten by Eggy.
She nodded. “Then cut it quickly.”
Cyril grabbed Huanhuan’s left wrist and took out a knife, preparing to cut her finger.
Huanhuan involuntarily closed her eyes.
