Chapter 190: Unexpected Development
As a result, although I met with the princess on the National Day, it was very strange that there were no accidents, just like the time I first arrived here. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
This seems very strange, it stands to reason that since there are forces that want to target me, then they should do everything they can to wipe me out, right, why is there no movement at all?
Could it be that this time our guess is going in the wrong direction again?
Just when we thought it was a little tricky, things took a surprising turn, because although I met the princess the day before, this time the next day the time did not change back to the national day, but smoothly entered the second day of dinner, which is something we have never encountered before, so I don't know what will happen under this development, but it seems to be the process of historical development. In order to make sure that all of this is going as smoothly as it has happened in history, we can get out of here and know what is happening at that time and what is our current priority. Luckily, we have Lord Sharon who has witnessed it.
"What happened today, more than 300 years ago? Do you remember seeing me in the palace? I asked.
"I see you." Lord Sharon sighed and said. Somehow, since I saw her again this time, I always felt that she was a little depressed.
"Then what did I do on this day in your memory, or what should I do when I enter the palace today?"
Lord Sharon looked at me and said, "There are two things you must do when you enter the palace today. The first is to steer events towards true history, so that the space we are in is completely destroyed, so that we can find a way back. I remember that day you entered the palace as a suitor. As for what to do, I think you should play freely, otherwise it will be too deliberate and you will feel awkward. I guess if you go with the flow, you'll do what you did in real history, right? ”
I nodded and said, "What about the other one?" ”
"Another thing is to find the dragon egg."
"Dragon eggs? So the dragon egg is indeed in the palace? Kona was a little surprised: "Are you sure?" ”
Lord Sharon said, "Yes, I already know the whereabouts of the dragon egg we are looking for. When you showed me the picture of the dragon egg that day, I suddenly had a sense of déjà vu in my mind, as if I had seen it before, and then immediately remembered that it had appeared in my memory...... And the ruins where we were at that time are the city where we are now. So I wonder if there will still be this dragon egg in those ruins. That's why I left in a hurry, trying to find it, but unfortunately I couldn't find it. Now go back three hundred years, and this thing is concrete. ”
"So where is that dragon egg?" I asked.
Lord Sharon looked at me and said, "Since you have seen me more than three hundred years ago, you must have also seen the black gem necklace I wore with me, right?" Don't you think its texture is exactly the same as a dragon egg? That's the dragon egg we're looking for. ”
"You mean, the one the princess is hanging on is the dragon egg we've been looking for? But it's only half the size of a palm? How could it be something we were looking for? That doesn't seem right, right? Kona's face was full of disbelief.
"Yes, because of its special texture, that dragon egg was mistaken by Ding Yuan's craftsmen for being a necklace made of a special stone, and it was also inlaid with different gemstones. And because it's so small, it's hard to notice that it's actually a dragon egg, right? It's also because I've always carried it with me that I'm particularly impressed by the material. Therefore, Lord Dingenier, please be sure to get the necklace from me when you enter the palace this time, this is the most fundamental purpose of our return here. ”
In the following time, we discussed the next course of action, and when everything was ready, Kona and I began to make our way to the palace.
Unlike before, this time we entered through the gates of the palace in the open. After the guards at the gate respectfully recorded it, we entered Miyagi without any problems. This time we came early this time, and the banquet had not yet started. There was only one short meeting attended by suitors from all walks of life, and the old faces Prince John and Prince Robert were all present.
Because I entered the palace in a different capacity than before, I suddenly felt that I had a lot more responsibility on my shoulders. On the other hand, it is also because although he is a nobleman of the Protoss, he is not a real prince after all, and he has some confidence on such an occasion, as if he is deceiving the princess and the king.
If my prediction is correct, it is probably at this short meeting that the king met with the suitors, and then decided on the princess's fiancé? Looks like you have to behave well.
Since they are all competitors now, the conversation on the spot is still somewhat-for-tat. I don't know why, but I always felt that the people around me didn't like me, and the eyes looked at me a little weird.
It's just that they were all cannon fodder in this meeting, after all, no one was alive at that time.
At this moment, the king led the princess to the meeting place. The moment the heavy door slowly opened, the light fell on the princess's hair and face, and her whole person seemed to be immersed in the golden quicksand, so dazzling. It's a pity that there is no expression on her face, and the whole person has a sense of absent-mindedness.
The king didn't seem to notice that the princess was wrong, but was busy greeting all the suitors, presumably at this time his heart was full of small calculations, considering whether choosing the prince and the forces behind him was the best result for Ding Yuan.
I remember hearing from Master Sharon before. Because the soul of the sea princess is connected to the contract between the undersea town and the earth mother, in order to maintain the stability of the contract, they can neither cry nor get excited. As a result, most of them stay within the walls for the rest of their lives. Even if you get married, you probably won't have children. Because the pain and suffering of childbirth can also lead to emotional changes in them. And a marriage without children is difficult to withstand the passage of time after all. No matter how young and beautiful the sea princess is, there will be a day when she will grow old. When beauty is gone, and people are old and decrepit, their husbands will have mistresses by their side, and then mistresses' children...... For them, loneliness is the most common outcome. I still remember the expression on her face when she said this, although I can't see any emotion, but I can still imagine that what she said is actually her own destiny, and what kind of ups and downs her heart should be?
I looked at the princess in front of me, and suddenly I felt that I could understand the state of mind of Lord Sharon when she said those words.
Then the princes in attendance began to take turns introducing themselves to the princess, although some had already met with her yesterday.
I listened to the princes boasting about their merits and country one after another, and I thought to myself that in the falsified history, it really didn't make sense for the king to choose John and Robert. Because whether it is the way they talk, the way they behave, the appearance of their behavior, or the country they represent behind them, they are not the most outstanding princes. It can only be said that the qualifications in all aspects are mediocre.
Soon, they all took turns to introduce themselves, and the princess listened to them without a match, occasionally in a daze, and I don't know how much she listened.
Robert asked me, "What about you?" Which country are you from? How come I never met you? ”
Everyone else looked at me, too, with expressions on their faces that they hadn't seen me. At this time, the princess finally saw me, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said with some doubts, "Is it you?" Why are you here...... "Why am I here?" What else could be there here besides courtship?
The princess soon understood this, and her expression suddenly became a little shy, and she stopped talking.
The king glanced at the princess with a thoughtful expression. Then he turned to look at me, with a kind smile on his face, and asked, "This prince, I wonder from which country you came from?" ”
