Chapter 132 – A Little Princess’s Journey from Darkness to Light Novel

Filed To Story: A Little Princess's Journey from Darkness to Light Novel

Standing in front of the Crawford Mansion, Priscilla was shocked.

Priscilla struggled to look for the address of the Crawford Mansion. She asked Shawn to sneak the information out to her…

Priscilla was shocked to see the Crawford Mansion.

Living in a mansion was luxurious.

The Crawford Mansion was somewhat similar to a castle, magnificent and romantic.

Priscilla hid her shock. She gave a polite yet cute smile to the security guard at the gate, “Hi, I’m Lilly’s teacher. My name is Priscilla Landers. Here’s my name card.”

The security guard glimpsed at Priscilla. He frowned before notifying the butler.

Not long after, Jack appeared.

However, Jack frowned upon seeing Priscilla.

If it weren’t for the fact that she was Lilly’s teacher, Jack would have kicked her out at first sight.

Teachers, who made home visits, were supposed to present themselves appropriately.

“Please follow me,” said Jack.

Priscilla hadn’t noticed any problems yet, and she tried to contain her excitement.

Upon entering the entrance hall, Priscilla saw her reflection in the hallway mirror. She found herself gentle and cute. The exposed shoulder accentuated her figure. The pink dress exuded a youthful and alluring air.

She was even charmed by herself.

After pa*sing through the entrance, Priscilla walked across a lawn and a garden before finally stepping into the estate’s main building.

The people of the Crawford family were present. Anthony sat on the couch in the first-floor living room, dealing with company affairs.

Blake also sat on the couch, with Lilly leaning against him. Blake held a picture book in one hand while using his other hand to prop his elbow on his knee. He patiently taught Lilly vocabulary.

Hearing that a teacher would be visiting, Liam, Gilbert, and Edward sat in a row formally while waiting downstairs.

They were surprised when they saw a woman in a pink off-shoulder dress, and they had strange expressions on their faces.

Blake furrowed his brows, asking Lilly softly, “Is she your teacher?”

Lilly nodded, “Yes, it’s Miss Peach.”

However, Lilly did not like Miss Peach. Lilly felt that Miss Peach was unreasonable sometimes while having the tendency to treat others in a perfunctory manner.

Blake quickly captured a hint from Lilly’s expression.

I get it now. Since Lilly doesn’t like this teacher, she is most likely not a good teacher.

Bettany a*sessed Miss Peach. Bettany dropped her usual amiable expression, and she put on a cold face resembling Hugh’s demeanor.

Bettany was baffled by having a teacher visiting the house out of nowhere.

However, the principal mentioned his wish to visit Lilly’s home personally to apologize, so Bettany did not overthink it.

When Miss Peach entered the living room, she was struck by the stunning scenery in front of her.

There are so many handsome men here.

Miss Peach’s heart was racing, and a fantasy popped into her mind.

She slowly walked down the stairs in a grand castle, wearing a snow-white princess gown.

She was surrounded by five tall and handsome men in knight costumes.

Among them, the tallest and most handsome man held her hand while the other four gazed at her, gently saying, “Good morning… my dear Princess Peachy.”

Then, she heard a voice calling her name, “Miss Peach?”

Bettany, who appeared displeased, looked at Priscilla.

Bettany was unhappy about Priscilla staring at her sons blankly upon entering.

Priscilla quickly replied, “Hello! I’m Lilly’s teacher, Miss Peach. My name is Priscilla, and you can call me Peachy!”

Everyone in the Crawford family was made speechless.

Bettany took the name card from Jack and scrutinized Priscilla. “The school didn’t tell us that you were coming.”

Gilbert chimed in. “Lilly’s homeroom teacher, Miss Flora, didn’t give us any prior notice either.”

Priscilla turned her head in the direction of Gilbert’s voice. The sight of Gilbert in grey sweatpants made her heart race. “Oh… Sorry. Miss Flora must have forgotten.”

“Are you sure?” Anthony came in.

Priscilla immediately blushed. Deep down, she was fangirling.

AHHHHH. SO HOT!

She put on her sultriest voice before replying. “Indeed. I came on behalf of the school. Regarding the previous incident, it was an oversight on the school’s and my part. The principal told me to apologize in person.”

Anthony didn’t say anything. He shot a look at Jack. Jack got the message and left to call the principal.

“Have a seat,” uttered Bettany.

Priscilla was dying to sit on the chaise lounge. But to comport herself like a proper lady, she picked a single chair across it. She offered a polite greeting to Bettany, “Have you eaten, madam?”

Inside Priscilla’s mind, Bettany was the queen and Priscilla was Bettany’s favorite princess. The queen was busy deciding which handsome knight should marry the princess.

“What do you think?” said Bettany coldly.

Priscilla was taken aback. “Oh, you must have eaten. Silly me. I’m such a klutz!” Her head even bobbed in a childish way.

Lilly stared at the female ghost above Priscilla’s head, who was busy drooling over the handsome men in the space. One moment, it was peeking at the men among its fingers. And the next moment, it buried her face in its palm and giggled.

Pablo mocked. “It is inserting itself in its fantasy now.” He leafed through the booklet in his hand. “Harem spirits are usually delusional. They often imagine themselves as the most coveted person in the world and everyone is dying to woo them. You can blame those ridiculous fan-fictions for that.”

Lilly nodded. To get a better understanding of those fan-fictions Pablo mentioned, she decided to ask Josh to get her some later.

All of a sudden, Jack walked in, after having made the call to the principal. He whispered into Anthony’s ears, whose expression turned grim.

Priscilla, meanwhile, was still putting on a self-important act. “They were just before me that day and I didn’t intervene in time. Do you know how much it broke my heart when I saw those comments online?”

“Jack, escort her out,” commanded Anthony.

Priscilla halted her performance. Out? Why? She was being such a kind girl here. Shouldn’t they take pity on her and give her all the attention she craved?

“Come with me, miss.” Jack beckoned to Priscilla.

Priscilla bit her lips and looked at Anthony woefully. “Mr. Crawford, did I do something wrong?”

She knew they would be mad when she brought up the incident. And they would punish her by asking the principal to fire her.

“No, not at all,” said Bettany monotonously. “The fault is ours. We shouldn’t have let you in.”

Before Priscilla could do anything, she was forcefully removed by Jack. Lilly looked at Anthony, then at Bettany.

What just happened? Where did Miss Peach go? She hasn’t caught the harem spirit yet!

“Next time. Don’t do it here,” comforted Pablo.

“All right,” Lilly murmured.

Blake then carried Lilly on his shoulder. “Come. Let’s go to your room.”

Lilly felt a change of altitude. It was fun to view things from high above. She felt like she could reach the lamp now. Maybe she could reach the moon if she could get any higher.

“Higher, Daddy, higher!” Lilly cheered.

Blake shrugged, which pushed Lilly to greater heights.

“Careful now. Don’t drop her!” warned Bettany. It was giving her anxiety.

“Don’t worry. I could carry a jet, let alone a baby.”

“Daddy, I can catch the star now! One for Grandma, one for Uncle Anthony, one for…” Lilly listed all family members, even including the pets.

As Blake and Lilly ascended to the second floor with loud cackles, there was a sudden thud.

Lilly covered her forehead. “Ouch! The doorframe hit me!”

“How could it be?” Blake asked. “I already bent down.”

“Not low enough, Daddy!” Lilly protested.

“Sorry, sorry…” Blake immediately consoled his daughter.
