Chapter 28 Meeting Sadako at Night (Asking for Monthly Votes)
Seeing this, Emman hurriedly took two steps forward, pushed open the kitchen door, and bowed his head to wait for the prince to enter. ₆₉ₛₕᵤₓ.cₒₘ
Captain of the Guard, Ksod, did not expect His Highness to suddenly turn to the kitchen. He hurriedly stepped aside, turned around and waved to the two guards, and quickly followed.
Joseph stepped into the door and saw that the kitchen was very spacious. In the middle were six or seven huge chopping boards, which exuded the smell of fish and spices, and all kinds of ingredients and cooking utensils were piled up around. Only half of the lights in the room were on, but there was no chef on duty.
He remembered that even if there were no balls or celebrations in the palace, there should be at least three to five royal chefs on duty at night, but what happened today?
Joseph walked in, bypassed a brown storage cabinet that was more than two meters high and more than four meters wide, and vaguely heard a rustling sound in the corner.
It was just that a rack full of pots and metal spoons blocked his view, so he couldn't see what was going on there.
Joseph was a little curious. What were the chefs doing hiding in the corner? Playing cards at night?
He turned around the wooden rack in confusion, and looked up to see a short man standing in the corner with his back to him, wearing a wrinkled white robe, and messy black long hair.
Joseph then noticed that there was a huge slanted wooden board in front of the man, with many knife marks on the board and a lot of blood around it, which looked extremely strange under the flickering candlelight.
The man in the white robe seemed to be very focused. He only heard the movement behind him at this time and turned around immediately.
Joseph's pupils shrank immediately, and he saw that the man's front was covered with blood, holding a black and red sharp knife in his hand. His face was hidden behind his messy long hair, and he could vaguely see a pair of round eyes with green light. The hair that fell to his waist was still sticky with sticky fragments, like the internal organs of something...
Joseph's head buzzed, and he felt adrenaline rushing all over his body in an instant. He had only one thought in his mind: F*ck! Sadako?!
He immediately jumped back with force, and his back hit the wooden rack with the soup spoon hanging on it, making a messy noise.
He didn't care about the pain, and was about to turn around when he saw Emman flashing over, holding a dagger in his left hand, and pulling the prince behind him with his right hand.
"Protect His Highness!" Emman shouted.
Kesod thought it was not good, and rushed over in a few steps, drew his sword and stood shoulder to shoulder with his attendant.
"Guards!"
He shouted immediately, and at the same time turned his head to Joseph and said: "Your Highness, please leave first!"
More than a dozen guards of the crown prince rushed in, suppressing their fear of the thing that they didn't know whether it was a ghost or a witch, and pulled the trigger with a fearless attitude, pointing the gun at Sadako in the corner.
At this moment, Sadako finally moved.
She threw the knife in her hand into the air, inserted her fingers into her long hair, squatted on the spot with her head in her hands, and screamed shrilly: "Ah——"
Joseph was startled, and poked his head out from behind Emman, and suddenly felt that this Sadako seemed a little familiar.
"Hey, stop yelling." He tried to communicate with Sadako, "Who are you...?"
Sadako was obviously stunned when she heard his voice. She raised her head and looked over from the gap in her hair. Her voice was a little trembling: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince?"
"Hmm? Do you know me?"
Sadako nodded desperately: "It's me! Your Highness, I'm Perna! Don't, don't shoot!"
Ksod stepped forward carefully, parted the woman's hair, and couldn't help but let out a long breath. He put away his sword and turned around and said:
"Your Highness, it is indeed Miss Perna."
Joseph was full of black lines on his head, looking at Perna and the woman behind her. Bloody wooden board, puzzled:
"You? What are you doing here?"
"I..." Perna subconsciously looked at her hand and found that the knife was "missing". She explained with a wandering look, "Well... I'm helping Mr. Valister cut meat."
As she said, she hurriedly wiped the blood on her hands on the brown apron repeatedly, and then grabbed a hairband on the ground, tied her long hair behind her head, and hurriedly knelt and saluted: "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Joseph looked at the blood on her face, took out a handkerchief and gestured: "Wipe your face."
Eman hurriedly took the handkerchief, stepped forward, and handed it to Perna.
The latter took it carefully, and as she wiped her face carefully, an ivory-white face gradually appeared.
On that delicate face, a pair of light green eyes looked like two clear jade beads, with thick black eyelashes, especially the pair of dimples beside the cute red lips, which made her look even sweeter. She was completely different from the terrifying "Sadako" before.
Joseph was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I've never seen you dressed like this. It's pretty."
He looked at the wooden board behind Perna, on which a small animal was neatly fixed with nails.
It was a rabbit, with a neat incision on the abdomen and intact internal organs.
He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are you practicing dissection?"
Perna was shocked and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense..."
Joseph stepped forward to look at the rabbit, nodded and said, "What a professional technique, you must have practiced for a long time, right?"
He looked at Perna again, "By the way, why are you practicing dissection in the kitchen?"
Perna heard the certainty in his tone, and her heart tightened. The crown prince actually knew anatomy, and she was afraid that she couldn't deny it.
She grabbed the fingers of her left hand with her right hand, hesitated for a while, and finally seemed to have made up her mind. She suddenly straightened her chest and said loudly:
"Your Highness, yes, I am practicing dissection!"
She took a deep breath, as if she finally said what she had been holding back for a long time:
"I think the current trend is not conducive to the development of medicine!
"For example, women cannot study medicine, which is a serious constraint on medicine and is unfair to women!
"I admire my father very much. I have been with him to see patients since I was a child, which makes me yearn for the profession of doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded.
"I know my father loves me very much. He even agreed to let me wear men's clothes and help him diagnose and treat patients as his assistant. I am very grateful to him.
"But even so, he still firmly forbade me to go on the operating table and practice dissection, because it would make me unable to get married. No one wants to marry a female doctor! This is reality!
"However, I still hope that I can become a doctor who can stand on my own and save patients. I can't touch corpses, so I can only practice dissection with animals to familiarize myself with the structure of organisms.
"Mr. Valister and I have reached an agreement that I can come here to practice dissection late at night and cut the meat for the chefs to use the next day, and he will keep the secret for me."
Speaking of this, her eyes were full of tears, and it was obvious that she had suffered a lot of grievances for many years.
She sniffed and her tone became calm: "Your Highness, go and report me. I scared you just now. This is the punishment I deserve."
