Chapter 381 - Fake Image (1/2)

It was bright and sunny yet dark clouds hovering above bring such cold and chilly wind. The boat that Elizabeth took has finally reached port. Despite what happened, she continues to believe that her father has no clue of where she is and that he has nothing to do with everything. As she bid farewell to the Captain and the old man who helped her. She felt ashamed for lying to them even though they've helped her.

”Captain, Grandpa, everyone, thank you for helping me. I may not know where I'll be going from here, but don't worry about me. I know my way around the world and rest assured, once I've settled down. I'll come and visit you again.”

Captain: ”Girl, you're always welcome. If you need our help again feel free to look for us.”

Old Man: ”Child you be careful out there. I know you and your family don't see eye to eye at this moment. But always remember, what they've done is for your own good. They don't want you to get hurt.”

Elizabeth somehow finds it suspicious why everyone's attitude suddenly turns 180 towards her family. As if, they are siding with them and showing great pity as well.

Old Man: ”Child, us parents make mistakes sometimes. Someday, you'll understand why we parents make decision very rationally.”

Elizabeth didn't say anything back and took her leave as she thanked them for the last time. As she vanished in front of everyone, they have this look of assurance that they've successfully completed their mission.

Old Man: ”Everyone, thank you for your help.  I'll go ahead now and report to Lord Knightley.”

Captain: ”No worries, you can contact us anything. But, will she really be alright? I mean, we gave her some money to help her but that would only last her a day?”

Old Man: ”Don't worry, do you really think no one is keeping watch on her. She is the daughter of one of the world's most powerful man and family. She is loved not only by the Royal family of England but also China's most aristocratic military family. Rest assured, the Young Princess will be fine.”

Captain: ”If you say so, but before you go, I have one thing to ask?”

Old Man: ”Hmm…”

Captain: ”Why was she declared dead? I mean, even if no one knows she is the Young Princess, she is a very famous celebrate and now she back and walking alive won't that cause quite a shock on everyone?”

Before answering the captain's question, the old man observes everyone's expression who seems to have the same question in mind. ”Don't worry, she does not look like Li Zi anymore but the Young Princess. People will only think they look alike but her eyes and hair now is a proof she is the Young Princess and not Li Zi.”

Everyone agreed with what the old man stated as he too greeted them and left as well.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth has made a great progress at all. She is still not sure of how she'll return home. She is a thousand miles south of China and still has not reached the main city. Right now, she's a hundred miles away from the main city of the island which is her ticket out. However, she doesn't even have a ticket out for she has no identification on hand. Her only way out now was to smuggle her way out.

”I have no choice but to find work somehow. I need to save up the money to get myself out of her. Plus, I need to contact Jackie. I just hope dad has not locked her away as well…”
