Chapter 191: The Necklace Can't Be Given to You
Perhaps it was the change in the expression on the princess's face because of my presence, which made all the candidates present look at me in unison. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info, after all, they are all competitors, and it's understandable that they are a little hostile to me.
I felt a little embarrassed, and could only say in the most peaceful tone possible: "Actually, I'm not a prince......"
"Heh, it's not the prince who still came to ask for a kiss, I don't know how to weigh my own pounds and ......" There were all kinds of cynicism around quickly. The king still maintained a kind smile on his face at this time, and was not affected by those words, and the king smiled: "Then who are you?" ”
I looked around at the people around me and then at the princess, and the expression on her face showed that she was a little nervous at the moment, and seemed to be paying attention to my answer.
I said, "Actually, I'm not from Undersea City, I'm from the earth. It doesn't seem right to say that, I'm from heaven. There are no rulers like the royal family in my race, only the eight noble families that control the divine domain, and my family is in these families, and my father is the patriarch of the family. ”
As soon as I finished speaking, there was an uproar all around, as if they were all startled by my answer.
The king looked at me with a look of incredulity. After a while, he said, "So...... Are you a god? There was a look of surprise on his face, and his eyes rolled slightly, obviously making some small calculations. The princess looked at me with a puzzled face, her eyes twinkling a little, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
After coming out of the conference hall, the crowd began to move towards the banquet hall in the evening. As soon as Kona saw me, she quickly greeted me, and she asked with concern, "How is the situation?" ”
I shook my head slightly, and said, "The situation is still unclear, and I can't tell what the king thinks now. Forget it, forget about these things for now. Let's hurry up and find a moment to find the princess and try to get the dragon egg we want as soon as possible. ”
Kona nodded, and hurriedly led me down the path to the princess's room. After all, she has already walked here many times, so she seems familiar with shuttling.
Since the palace is an open courtyard, it is quite convenient to shuttle between the various rooms.
Through the open window, I could glimpse the princess sitting in the room with a restless expression. The necklace with the dragon's egg reflected the light from the outside and was emitting a soft light.
I leaped very quickly through the window and into the room, and the princess was startled by my sudden appearance, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she had seen my face clearly.
"It's you...... My lord? I didn't expect to meet again today. The princess's brow furrowed slightly, and it seemed that the meeting again had made her feel a little better.
I looked down at her and said, "Princess, meet again." ”
At this time, Cona finally made a big circle outside and sneaked in quietly.
The princess asked, "Why did you enter the palace today?" Or is it to find something that you didn't find yesterday? ”
"Or else? Do you think he really came to marry you? Kona glanced at the princess and said angrily.
This made the princess's expression slightly awkward. She asked me, "And what you said in front of my father, are your identities false?" ”
"My identity is real, and I really am not from Undersea City." I said.
"Are you really from land, then? That's great, I've never seen anything like on land...... At the cost of not being able to see natural sunlight for the rest of our lives, we sea tribes have gained a much longer lifespan than humans on land, but we are trapped in this seabed for the rest of our lives, even if we have such a long lifespan, it is meaningless......" I don't know if it is Enmei, the princess became a little lost as she spoke. Perhaps realizing her negativity, the princess smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry to let you listen to the complaints, or don't talk about these things anymore." By the way, did you find any clues when you entered the palace this time? ”
"Yes, we've found out where we're looking for, and we'll have to get the help of the princess."
"Me?" Princess Sharon's expression was a little surprised: "Is there anything I can help you with?" As long as I can do it, I will try to satisfy you. ”
"I want to get your necklace, princess." I said solemnly.
"Necklace?" The princess subconsciously lowered her head and looked at the necklace around her neck, her face full of surprise: "Is this what you are talking about?" But it's something I've been wearing since I was a child, and it's like my amulet, which my father said I couldn't leave...... How could it be what you're looking for? ”
Kona and I looked at each other, remembering that Lord Sharon had emphasized yesterday that she must not tell the princess the truth, so she casually made up a reason: "Actually, the black gem on this chain is not a hedron derived from the undersea city, but something that fell from the god's domain and originally belonged to the gods. It's just that for some unknown reason, he ended up in the underwater city and was processed into a necklace. We have been looking for it all these years, because it contains a very uncontrollable power, and it will be difficult to control sooner or later if it is allowed to wander outside like this, so we will recover it, and ask the princess to forgive us. ”
Unexpectedly, the princess showed an embarrassed expression and said, "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that my father sees that this chain is made of special material, and he has always taken care of it as if it were a baby, and he never allows it to leave me." And I'm about to get married, and this chain is actually a gift to the forces behind my betrothed person. This was also discussed in previous talks with the princes of various countries. If I hastily gave it to you, wouldn't we, Ding Yuan, lose our trust in the entire undersea city? ”
"What should I do then?" Kona frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Why don't we talk to your fiancé after your father confirms your fiancé?" ”
Listening to Kona's words, Sharon-sama's expression suddenly darkened, and it was obvious that she didn't want to marry at this time. And I already know from Lord Sharon's previous words that the world will be destroyed before we can meet her fiancé, so this will not work. In this way, we can only grab it before midnight.
But are we going to snatch that necklace from Lord Sharon so brutally? This seems to be a bit unbearable for me, and if I do, the palace will soon be in chaos, and I may not even be able to hold a dinner party. But even if I did win the king's favor and make him willing to marry me the necklace as a princess's companion, it would be too late.
Seeing that I was a little silent, the princess said: "Well, if there is really no way, after today's dinner is over, I will find an opportunity to give you this chain, of course, before that, I will also find a way to convince my father, as for whether it can be successful, it can only be seen......"
At that moment, I suddenly heard the sound of approaching footsteps not far from the door, and it was obvious that someone was moving towards this place. I could tell the difference between the king and the old steward, Jack. If he had seen me in the princess's boudoir, it would have been unreasonable. So I quickly stuffed Cona into a closet against the wall, and I jumped up and onto the eaves.
