CHAPTER 483: CHAPTER 483 SHE IS MY COUSIN

The blows that Teresa had suffered in succession were nothing compared to the blow she was feeling at this moment. She had just witnessed Fu Xing carefully carrying Lin Fu into the mansion, and the memories of the past surged into her mind like a tide.

Teresa felt as if she had returned to her childhood, a time when Flora shone brightly and she was always left to stand in a dark corner, unseen.

Nobody cared about her, nobody respected her, and certainly, nobody ever pursued her, cherished her, or doted on her.

She was so weak, so insignificant.

In front of Flora, she could never lift her head.

She thought she had moved out of the shadow of her childhood, but now she realized that she had never left it behind; she was still living in those childhood days.

Just like now, she could only stand on her room’s balcony, hiding behind the curtains, looking out in the direction of the main building from afar.

Watching as that place was heavily guarded, watching as everyone circled around a single person, Flora.

She liked Fu Xing so much, pursued him at every turn, hinting countless times, even considering offering herself without regard for the royal dignity, but the man whom she could not move was now setting everything aside and crossing countless light-years to come to this remote frontier from the Capital Star.

At this moment, Teresa was in such pain that she couldn’t catch her breath.

But reason told her there was nothing she could do.

Everyone had abandoned her, and she had thought Grandpa Clive would help her, but she meant nothing in Grandpa Clive’s heart.

Beside her, Mina stole glances at Teresa, her heart in turmoil, and finally couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong with you? Did someone upset you?"

Teresa snapped back to reality and stared intently at Mina with those dark yet slightly bewildered eyes.

Seeing this, Mina couldn’t help but take a step back.

"Do you know who that woman with the mental suppression ring and pink hair is?" Teresa suddenly asked.

Mina was startled and responded instinctively, "Isn’t she just a prisoner?"

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Teresa’s face. Indeed, while the news was stirring in the Capital Star, nothing was known I this remote frontier, and although communication in the interstellar era was highly developed, the distances measured by light-years were beyond the compensation of even the most sophisticated communication methods.

"She’s my cousin."

Mina was stunned, not foolish. Being a cousin of a princess surely meant she was one of the Mecklenburg Royal Family’s princesses as well.

A look of surprise, mixed with anxiety and fear, appeared in Mina’s eyes. After all, she was just the niece of an earl, from Fengdi, in the furthest fringes, where very few even knew her name among the nobility of the Galaxy Empire.

If she had known that woman was also a member of the Mecklenburg Family, Mina would never have dared to gossip and speak ill of her behind her back.

The more Mina thought about it, the more frightened she became. She was close to tears and asked with reddened eyes, "What should I do? I often spoke poorly of her before, will she know? She must know, right? Will I be arrested? Will it cause trouble for my aunt?"

Teresa remembered how in her childhood, Flora’s spiritual power was far superior to the norm. With her spiritual power, even while wearing the suppression ring, her senses were much sharper than an average person’s.

So, she nodded to Mina.

Mina immediately burst into tears, sobbing for a long while before she could finally stop.

Teresa was not in the mood to console anyone; she wanted to cry more than anything. But then something Mina said reminded her.

"I must go and apologize to her, to seek her forgiveness," Mina declared, drying her tears. "My aunt always said that as long as one truly admits their mistakes, important people won’t bother with someone as insignificant as me."
