Chapter 987: Refuse

Even if he became a king, even if he had a group of wives and concubines, and enjoyed lifelong gold and silver wealth, he still did not forget to give it to his beloved queen. He posted a notice that if anyone could cure the queen's strange illness, he would be rewarded with a noble title and glorify his ancestors.

So famous doctors, merchants, witches, and even farmers all over the world decided to give it a try. Among them was a wealthy pawn merchant who came to the king and presented a handful of gold jewelry studded with various diamond scales. The white gold lining, the wavy shape like a piano, sparkles in the sun, holding it in the hand, it is heavy and cool.

The king gave the jewel to the queen, and as soon as the queen's finger touched it, a miracle happened. Her fingers shone with a golden glow, and the light spread throughout her body. The queen smiled, the king had never seen the queen smile so happily, it turned out that the queen's smile was as bright as the sun in spring

"Thank you, Your Majesty. "The queen performed the most pious courtesy like a king.

"The queen has spoken! The queen has been able to speak! The queen has recovered from her illness!" A three-day grand celebration was held across the country to celebrate the king's tireless efforts from a young prince to the present day, finally in exchange for the favor of heaven. And what about the pawn shop, who was given a full ten carts of gold, and was given the title of nobility.

The king burst into tears when he heard the queen's voice, and he ignored the jealousy of the other concubines, and talked to the queen every day, listening and listening, never enough. The queen's voice was delicate and tactful, like a nightingale, like a yellow bird, like a breeze, like a stream. From then on, the king no longer had any burdens and worries in his heart, and the country prospered day by day.

Soon they had a daughter, who was as beautiful as her mother, with blond hair and blue eyes that revealed her father's strength and stubbornness.

The queen had to talk to herself for a long time every day about the wavy jewelry, and the king never knew why the queen could speak, nor did he know what magic the jewelry had, and the heavy daily duties made him put it off again and again.

The days passed silently, and it went by like this for a long, long time. The once handsome prince has become an old king, and the once beautiful girl has become an old queen, but they still love each other, and time cannot wash away their love.

Until one day, the king took the queen and countless concubines to the beach to play. The queen said that her daughter was too young and insisted that she should not go with her, but the king could not persuade her to agree, and he did not see the loneliness in her eyes. When we got there, everyone had a great time, and when I came back, the queen was gone.

The king was in a great hurry, and after searching for a long time but could not find it, he returned to the palace in disappointment. He didn't think about it, he lay in the queen's room all day long, recalling the years they had walked together, her eyes, her smile, her voice.

Suddenly, he remembered the queen's favorite jewelry, and found it in the queen's dresser, but the queen did not take her most beloved things. It was the first time he had looked at it closely, the color of the gold, the edges of the white gold, the multicolored scales of the various diamonds, and the lines of the waves. It was so cold, as cold as ice crystals in the depths of the ocean, and you couldn't warm it with your hands anyway. The king put the jewelry under his nose, and it had a salty taste, as if it had been soaked in seawater for hundreds of years. When I put it to my ear, the jewelry actually had the sound of the sea, which was suddenly quiet and gentle, and suddenly surging waves. In the waves he heard the queen's voice, the queen's song. He had never heard her sing, and there was no old age in her singing, only as delicate as a maiden, as if through the mist of the sea, gently calling his beloved prince.

"O man I love, if I were a fish, would you still love me? I have deceived you all my life, will you forgive me? I know that I will eventually return to the sea, and I will live a warm and happy life on land. I dedicate the most beautiful youth to my king, I carry your love, even in the sea I have never been cold, with your love, even after thousands of years, I am still full of joy. The old king's tears flowed quietly, and he was always full of laughter and laughter with her, and this was the first time he was sad and regretful. "Don't be sad, love our young lovely daughter as much as you love me. Let me only burn in your heart, the time when the flowers germinate and bloom, and bear the lonely withering alone. I am in the ocean of your heart, with the bright spring I left behind, with you to fall the last remaining leaves of life. ”

The grief-stricken king found the pawnbroker who had given the jewel to the queen, and the merchant was also old and confused. Vaguely tells the king that he bought the Heart of the Sea from a fisherman's child, and takes the king to the fisherman's house. That kid had long since become a young and promising young man in this place. The king inquired of all those years ago, and the young man sat on the beach gazing at the never-ending waters.

"Believe me, my beloved king, you will not believe me, for no one has ever believed me. The lad said to the king. "I don't want to risk you for being a deceitful. ”

"I command you, speak for me. The king insisted.

"When I was very young, I came back late from fishing one day. As I was closing the net, I heard the little girl's whimper, so I followed it. In a large rock crevice on a reef, see a little mermaid using a beautiful tool to scrape the scales off her tail. Every time she scraped, she cried out in pain. Large tears rolled down and turned into white pearls when they fell to the ground, and the blue scales in the moonlight turned into a blue diamond every time they fell to the ground, and slowly her tail completely turned into legs. The white skin was like a light veil in the moonlight. The young man still stared at the water, immersed in the memories of the past. "She had to endure so much pain to be able to come to land. When I found the place again, she was gone. Leaving only pearls and diamonds, tears and dreams all over the ground. But she forgot the tool, so I went to the pawnshop and sold it, and when the boss asked me what it was, I thought about it and said, it's the heart of the ocean."

"Your Majesty, do you still believe it now?" asked the young man.

"I believe it. The king patted him on the shoulder. "Thank you for not hurting her then. ”

"Your Majesty, you are the first to believe my story. I'll give you this one. The young man handed the old king a blue-diamond scale. "I've already sold the rest, I'm sorry, this is the last piece. So the boy went fishing.

The old king looked at the cool blue scales in his hand.

"I believe it. ”

After that, the old king had to stare at the jewelry for a long time every day, not knowing how the queen was doing in that blue world.

The princess grew up day by day and became more and more like her mother. He understood that he was too old to be with her forever, just as the queen could not be with him forever. So he gave the piano to the little princess. I hope that when she is confused, she can get the guidance of her mother, and when she misses her mother, she can also find the way home that leads to the sea......

The long river of history is endless, and the former country is long gone, but the romantic story of the prince and the girl has been passed down from generation to generation in this land. Every festive season, the boy will give his favorite girl a heart of the ocean as a promise of love. ”

......

Zorn told slowly in his magnetic voice, I have to say, this is a very beautiful story, but also a very sad story, but it is particularly moving, all the people listened quietly, and then looked at the light blue jewelry, it was no longer just appreciation, a beautiful thing, was endowed with a beautiful connotation, such a bonus is far more than one plus one equals two.

Oriana's eyes were filled with water, as if she was moved by the story, and she looked at the necklace in the box in a daze.

Zorn gently picked up the necklace from the box, walked behind Oriana, and wrapped around her long white and flawless neck, the light blue necklace wrapped around her neck, setting off her as if she was a beautiful princess from the sea, mythical and beautiful, especially suitable.

The cold diamond touched her radiant skin, causing Oriana to shiver slightly.

"Thank you, Zorn", Oriana said with some emotion, looking at the necklace around her neck with some emotion.

"Thank you for what I'm doing, the person I care about the most is you, after all, we've been friends since childhood", *naked confession, almost just three words, Zorn's face couldn't hide his joy, he felt that success was within reach, and his hand went to Oriana's shoulder.

However, at this last moment, Orianna suddenly staggered and turned to look at Masaki.

"Do you want me?" she said, looking at Masaki.

"You look good in it", Masaki didn't know how to answer, he could only answer the question, he could see Zorn's pursuit of Orianna, and he, there was no reason to stop it, he and Oriana were just two-sided friends, not relatives, nor lovers.

A hint of gloom flashed across Oriana's face, as if she was not satisfied with Masaki's answer.

She thought about it, the reluctance on her face flashed, and she turned around and slowly took off the necklace.

"Thank you, Zorn, but I can't accept your gift," Oriona said, handing him the necklace.

There was a burst of regret and surprise from the people around, but they didn't expect the ending to be like this, it was obvious that the young man named Zorn was borrowing the necklace to confess to the princess, but unfortunately, the princess rejected him.

Before the joy on the corner of Zorne's mouth could be withdrawn, he was stunned for a moment when he heard the princess say this.
