Chapter 252: The Unexpected Fall
As the two siblings skipped and giggled down the corridor, Helen trailed closely behind, her watchful eyes never leaving their playful figures. Determined to prevent a repeat of any mishap, she remained vigilant.
However, she still allowed them to have a good time on their own, knowing how the princess hated to be restricted. Soon, their path reached its end, revealing a flight of stairs leading to the lower floor.
"Hold my hand, Your Highnesses. The stairs are quite steep," urged Helen, aware of the potential danger.
However, accustomed to their growing independence, the princesses resisted being held by their governess.
"Your Highness! Wait for me!" Helen exclaimed and hastily rushed to catch them; however, the mischievous princesses jumped down with a laugh, escaping the governess.
"You can’t catch me! You can’t catch me!" Lilith playfully taunted Helen, her laughter filling the air.
Laura joined in the amusement, finding her sister’s antics quite entertaining.
"Your Highness, please be careful!" Helen pleaded, her expression growing increasingly panicked as the princess continued to tease her, jumping down the stairs.
Lilith’s confidence grew with each leap, escalating from small hops to more daring bounds.
However, as she landed near the edge of the stairs, her steps faltered, causing her to stumble and fall.
"Princess!" Helen cried out in terror, her heart pounding in her chest.
