This is the token of affection between the prince and his beloved, and no one loves shells more than he does.
Josh guessed correctly.
But a new problem arose.
She couldn’t dance this kind of dance.
"Miss Josh, you’ve stepped on my shoes again." Prince Sisi’s gloomy, statuesque face showed no sign of impatience, but his eyes were so noble that they made others feel like they were offending him.
Josh smiled slightly, "Sorry, it wasn’t on purpose."
The surrounding gazes were as if they could swallow soone, and they fixed on Josh with intensity.
Especially after she stepped on the prince’s noble toes countless tis.
Josh’s mouth twitched; she truly forgot about this.
Although singing and dancing were her strengths, she had never seen this ancient, peculiar dance that required two people to cooperate.
After the dance, the prince’s white boots were covered with shoe prints.
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the side quest, "Obtain Prince Sisi’s First Dance." The task rewards will be issued after the instance ends.]
Everyone held their breath, waiting for the prince to get angry.
Instead, he elegantly kissed Josh’s hand and returned to his throne.
For the rest of the banquet, he did not dance with anyone else.
The banquet lasted only two and a half hours.
At 8:30, the banquet ended on ti. Although it was early, no one dared to say anything.
Josh returned to room number 9, relieved of her cumberso attire, and felt much lighter.
It seed even the fever had subsided a bit.
She opened her attribute panel and saw that her nearly depleted life value had restored to over fifty.
What’s going on?
The last ti her life value recovered was when she was sleeping.
Her life value dropping quickly must be related to the instance, and the recovery must also be linked to it.
She narrowed her eyes, reminded herself to be cautious, and lay back on the bed.
Today was indeed exhausting.
From last night’s test, after 9 PM, as long as a player doesn’t open the door, nothing outside can get into the room.
So, she relaxed and fell asleep.
In a half-dream, half-awake state, Josh felt an unusual pressure on her chest, as if sothing heavy was pressing down, making it hard for her to breathe.
"Fool, you are mine..."
"Such a beautiful little thing should belong to forever."
"You will wish to stay in my castle forever, right?"
"You will wish to."
The man held the slender and weak little creature in his arms tighter.

Josh woke slightly earlier than the alarm clock. What surprised her was the quietness of the night before; it seed nothing had disturbed the night.
She had a good night’s sleep, and her body felt much better.
She got out of bed and saw the clothes prepared by the bedside.
The jewelry she took off last night lay in the tray beside her, gleaming luxuriously.
Josh contentedly stored these things in her warehouse; once they were given to her, they were hers.
After freshening up, she went downstairs and happened to et Rob on his way down.
Rob looked exhausted. "Morning..."
Josh’s mouth twitched as she stared at the dark circles that seed ready to fall to the ground. In a good mood, she said, "Seeing your dark circles, I thought you were haunted by a female ghost all night."
Rob glared at her resentfully. "You said it, if it weren’t for you chasing that female ghost, would we have run so long? I’m exhausted and had to rush here for breakfast in the morning."
Josh’s eyes flickered, unsure if she had entered another storyline or if Rob had entered hers.
Rob yawned. "Eating that damned breakfast again. When can we leave this instance? Searching for that key is driving insane!"
Josh asked casually, "Haven’t you found any clues exploring the castle these days?"
Rob pulled a face. "Yeah, the clues say that the prince’s father has a key, Thomas has a key, and the chef has a key. The chef is the prince’s uncle."
Josh suddenly stopped.
Rob looked at her in distress and shrugged. "But you know, on the first day, I managed to offend all three. The favorability hasn’t even returned to neutral. We told the captain to go, but who knows what’s wrong with him; he just won’t act."
Josh suddenly took out a stamp and pressed a green pig head on his forehead.
Rob: "...What are you doing?"
Josh chuckled, "Stamping you to prevent you from being hurt by mistake."
Soone who actively investigates clues and then shares those clues with another player must be a real person.
Because here, apart from real people, others masquerading as monsters won’t actually seek out clues, let alone share them with players.
It’s already amazing if they don’t create chaos.
The Yuze who knocked on her door last night was obviously a fake trying to chop her with a knife.
Josh tossed the shell necklace to Rob. "Hidden plot, for you."
She had already activated the plot fragnt, so the item was of no use to her.
Rob accepted the necklace, yawning, and they went into the dining room one after the other.
Even though they were at similar distances, ti and space seed to split in an instant.
The person who followed Josh inside turned out to be Yuze.
She turned her head and paused when she saw the person behind her, but said nothing and returned to the dining table.
Yuze, however, suddenly engaged her in conversation. "Have you found any clues? Our instance progress hasn’t advanced at all."
This is a comprehensive instance. Even if you don’t want to solve the mysteries or find the items, surviving for seven days clears the instance, though the rewards are a bit lesser.
Josh shook her head. "No clues whatsoever."
Yuze gazed at her, his eyes flickering. "I see."
After breakfast, Josh paid no attention to the odd looks from people at the table and left for the kitchen.
Rob had just ntioned that among the three keys, one was with the chef, and the chef was Sisi’s uncle.
So raising the chef’s favorability is crucial.
She wasn’t in a hurry to obtain the key and leave, but there were achievents in implenting NPC strategies.
Josh exchanged so fresh rare ingredients and spices from Pinduoduo.
Previously, in the Forbidden Nightmare’s instance, she pawned Yuze’s watch onto Pinduoduo. Initially, she thought it would fetch only tens of thousands of points, but it ca with a string of zeros.
There’s no worry about running out of points on Pinduoduo.
The watch also needs to be accounted for and returned next ti.
The chef was busy in the kitchen, and several players were nearby.
The two boys from the twin duo, and the girl, Leia.
Leia was Ani’s sister, and when she saw Josh co in, her whole body tensed.
Josh raised an eyebrow slightly; this one looked a bit genuine.
The chef seed edgy. "I’ll say it again, I’m very busy, please all leave!"
One of the twin boys insisted while looking at the chef, "But you accepted our gifts, so you should answer our questions."
The chef glared at them with cold eyes, and as black air continuously emanated from the depths of his eyes, he was obviously infuriated.
He pulled out a long knife from under the counter and sinisterly glared at the crowd. "Since you won’t leave, then none of you shall leave."
