CHAPTER XX

With a slight tug on his neck, His Royal Highness the Prince turned his wrist around and tightened the chain in his hand. Zhou Huaijing tried to break the iron ring around his neck with his hand, but it locked his neck tightly against the skin, so as not to make it difficult for him to breathe, as if he had to control his breathing.

The prince chuckled lightly and dragged the pure gold chain to the top of the red carpet, Zhou Huaijing's neck tightened, and he was forced to stumble twice following his footsteps.

The guests were not surprised or frightened at the sight of such a scene, and only watched the scene in silence and expressionlessness.

The handsome and upright young man hummed a soft tune in his mouth, but from the hoarse voice, it inexplicably gave birth to a little strange cold, like the god of death dragging a sickle to the ground and making a rough sound.

Zhou Huaijing's whole heart was pulled by the collar around his neck, and he didn't have the heart to listen to the man's singing, if he was distracted and carefully distinguished, he could tell from the intermittent tearing broken song that this was a wedding march.

The hall was magnificent and magnificent, and Zhou Huaijing was dragged step by step up the stairs covered with fine velvet red carpet and stood opposite His Royal Highness the Prince.

With a movement of his hand, the prince flicked the hat off his head, revealing a pair of lovely white □□ ears. Lu shuddered slightly in the air.

His eyes were obsessed, and his fingers gently pinched one of his pointed ears, tossing and turning.

Zhou Huaijing saw that his expression was becoming more and more crazy, looking at his eyes as if he was going to tear apart his ears, nose, eyes, and limbs before he was willing to eat and skin him alive, his heart was tightened by an invisible hand, but an inexplicable familiarity flashed in his mind.

The prince put away the chain and pulled him closer, Zhou Huaijing's thinking was scattered, a pain in his neck was pulled forward, and the whole person pounced and fell into the broad arms of the man.

The prince held his waist and lowered his head to look down at him, so close that his breath blew on Zhou Huaijing's eyelashes, forcing his eyes to tremble. At a distance of a few minutes, Zhou Huaijing saw His Royal Highness the prince's face more and more clearly, and the tears under the corners of his eyes were bright and dripping, like a drop of blood in his heart, condensed there, and he wanted to cry and not fall.

He loosened his waist, grabbed Zhou Huaijing's left hand in one hand, and pinched a beautiful diamond ring in the other, showing luxury and dazzling in the bright light. The prince stared at the slender white fingers, which were clean and elegant, like the clarity of the little prince in the ivory tower, who did not know the world, and made people want to hold it in their hands and take care of it.

"Will you be my bride?" The prince asked in a low voice in the solemn hall, his voice as solemn as the bell of a church, and earnestly and solemnly asked the opinion of the man in his arms.

However, all the inquiries were just formalities, and he did not have the intention of waiting for an answer, he grasped the finger that wanted to escape with one hand, firmly grasped the five fingers, and then put the ring in his hand along the knuckle of the ring finger, section by section, to the root. Division.

The diamond ring set off the flawless jade-like fingers, and the prince was dazzled and shook his head slightly.

The trance in his eyes slowly dissipated, and a smile of anticipation gathered on his lips, and he let go of his left hand, grabbed his right hand instead, and gently pinched another ring and put it into the young man's hand, stretching out his left hand.

Zhou Huaijing was forced to grab a men's wedding ring, and the ring slowly approached the ring finger of the young man's left hand.

The prince's expression was focused and indulgent, and the joy in his pupils was so strong that it could not be dissipated, like a child about to get candy. But what he longed for from the boy was not a candy, but a ring, a promise to get married.

The corners of his mouth lifted up easily, revealing a subtle smile.

The ring is placed on the first knuckle of the ring finger and slowly pushed forward.

The prince's eyes were painted with a bright color, and his slender fingers forced the two fingers holding the ring to move it forward.

Poof.

There was a slight popping sound of bubbles, followed by the sound of clanging chains, and the prince had a bite in his hand, wrapped around his hand, and hung empty to the ground, and the person who had been standing opposite was now gone.

On the ring finger of his left hand, a ring that was not yet fully put on rests on the second knuckle and hangs loosely on it.

The prince watched the golden chain hanging down on the red carpet uncertainly, with a bit of bloodthirsty hideousness in his eyes, his handsome face frozen with joy, and the smile that stirred up was extremely cold.

The guests in the room immediately stood up from their seats, and their bodies were exposed by their chairs or skirts, clearly one fishtail after another, although beautiful and dazzling, but in this situation they only looked strange and terrifying.

His Royal Highness hissed in his throat, and the merfolk also opened their mouths to show their saw-like teeth and screamed in response, and for a moment the slippery tails of the fish scattered in all directions.

The prince chased in the direction of the second floor, and reached the staircase, where a small white streak passed through a door. He paused for a moment, walked in the direction of the door, and pushed it open.

With a bang, a basin of water splashed down, and the prince's head was drenched, and his black hair hung down like weeds.

Sting.

The pants worn under him were overwhelmed and let out a tearing scream, accompanied by the sound of fabric breaking one after another, and in an instant turned into strips of cloth, revealing a long gorgeous fishtail, and smashed a hole in the wet small water.

His Royal Highness squinted, and there were several strips of white cloth stuck behind the door, which were blown by the cold wind that poured into the room, but it was empty, and there was no one.

He flicked the fishtail and jumped to the window, where a few wet peach blossom footprints hung half-dry.

From here, there is a path leading to the garden downstairs, and the sea below the mountain is in the distance, and the night is unpredictable.

His Royal Highness jumped from the window and headed for the garden.

The room fell silent, and after a while, a round white ball rolled out from under the bed, revealing a pair of blue cat's eyes, and with a flick of its tail, it got up from the ground and ran wildly.

His Royal Highness will soon realize that he has not gone in the direction of the garden, and will immediately realize that he has been deceived and turned back.

Zhou Huaijing rushed out of the door, was slipped by the water by the door, and slid all the way out, planted on the carpet in the corridor. He climbed onto the carpet and rubbed the water on his paws, and wandered aimlessly around the castle with cat's steps.

Now he doesn't know what to do anymore. The game seems to have come to a dead end, His Royal Highness was supposed to marry the princess, but the princess was missing, and even all the maid guards did not know where to go.

What's even stranger...... The prince wants to marry him?

Zhou Huaijing couldn't understand this logic, and he felt that this game would definitely be judged to be a failure.

He was more frustrated than the game by not meeting that talent, and the tricks he had worked so hard to curry favor were useless.

Zhou Huaijing heard the sound of the fishtail slapping on the ground in the distance, and was so frightened that the wet cat hair exploded, and he used his hands and feet to drill into a room next to him, and shrank behind the door to secretly observe the movement outside the door.

It wasn't the mermaid prince he imagined, jumping from the other end of the corridor was the green-haired mermaid he had seen in the garden lake, and next to a strange mermaid, the two fish were jumping up and down the corridor and looking around.

"Ah Da, why did Your Highness find a cat to be the princess?" The merfolk with algae green hair grunted.

The sturdy mermaid wore a blue hat with tail feathers on her head: "Maybe the cat's meat is delicious, right?" ”

"Huh? Are you sure? But the fish want to eat the cat? The algae green mermaid didn't believe it, and when he saw a cat, even a cat the size of his palm was enough to scare him.

The strong mermaid said confidently: "Of course, this is what His Royal Highness the Prince said himself. ”

"Your Highness is worthy of being Your Highness, even cats dare to eat it." The green mermaid's eyes were full of adoration, "What did he say?" ”

"His Royal Highness said that the princess is more delicious than humans, and he will take it back to the sea to taste it slowly." The strong mermaid replied.

The green-haired mermaid admired and puzzled: "But if we eat the princess, won't we have no princess?" ”

The strong mermaid grabbed two handfuls of hair and said vaguely: "Your Highness is so wise, he must have his own different way of eating." ”

At this time, the bell of the castle rang at eleven o'clock, and the two of them looked grim: "It's over, if you don't find the princess before twelve o'clock at midnight, Your Highness will fall into a deep sleep." ”

Until the two fish were gone, Zhou Huaijing was already trembling with cat hair, pitifully shrunk into a ball.

It's over, His Royal Highness the Prince originally wanted to eat him.

Fortunately, after twelve o'clock, the prince was about to fall into a deep sleep.

Although this game failed, as long as it was not eaten, it was still saved.

Zhou Huaijing's mind was full of noble mermaids, and the prince was holding a dry and skinny cat and gnawed on a mouthful of cat hair, with bright red blood at the corners of his mouth.

The cold wind blew, and Zhou Xiaomei shivered again.

Click, click.

There was another sound of a fishtail slapping on the ground.

Zhou Huaijing subconsciously glanced at his eyes, and this glance almost scared his little heart.

In the dimly lit corridor, the smile of the young man with the upper body dressed in the prince's clothes and diamonds was gentle and indulgent, and his low voice echoed in the corridor, calling out one after another: "Kitten, cute kitten, come out and let me hug you." ”

The call reached Zhou Huaijing's ears, and it was clearly a life-urging talisman, and the sentence "hug you" was automatically converted into "eat you", "lick you", "taste you", "gnaw you......

Zhou Huaijing shrank and cautiously walked with a cat's step, looking for a place to hide his body.

This spacious room was the court cloakroom, with human-shaped hangers everywhere.

Zhou Huaijing accidentally bumped into the knight's iron armor, pulled it twice, and crashed under the maid's skirt. He looked around, and the urging calls from outside continued.

Click, click.

The fishtail kept flapping on the velvet blanket, making a dull sound, ringing in the bottom of his heart.

Suddenly, the sound stopped, and even the call disappeared.

Squeak-

The door was slowly pushed open by a slender and powerful hand.

Zhou Huaijing's heart sank, and when he saw a place in his dim sight, he hurriedly rolled in.
