CHAPTER XVII

The people in the castle said that the prince who had been rescued by the eldest princess was about to marry their princess, and there were waiters everywhere who described haste, and everyone was happily preparing for this grand wedding.

Zhou Huaijing woke up, and there was no one in the room. He stretched, stretched out, and jumped off the bed, scratching the edge of the bed with his little paws, and then wandered around the room.

It seems that His Royal Highness has gone to prepare for the wedding, which will be held in the evening, when the nobles of the kingdom will come to the court to give blessings to the newlyweds, and the prince and princess will also ascend to the balcony of the castle to meet the people and receive the gaze and blessings of the people.

Zhou Huaijing turned around twice, the door was locked tightly, and he couldn't get out of here. The round and bright eyes turned, and I saw a faint and gentle white light in place. Crawling on the ground barely.

The boy's ears twitched, and then he raised his head, revealing a delicate face.

With the cat's tail wrapped around his waist, he walked to the wardrobe with his long, bare-skinned legs, and pulled out a suit at the bottom of the closet and put it on his body.

The palace where the prince now lives is used to entertain distinguished guests, so there are a lot of clothes on reserve, and in the clothes prepared for the prince this time, because I can't get the size of the prince, there are big and small. Zhou Huaijing found a set of small clothes, a round top hat covered a pair of ears that were different from human beings, and the straight blue and white dress set off him very handsomely, looking like a young master from a noble family.

Since there are many people coming to the palace today, he should not worry about being suspected of bad intentions.

Zhou Huaijing got dressed, grabbed the long tail in his hand, stuffed it into his pants in the mirror, stuffed it for a while, and gave up when he saw that he couldn't see anything abnormal.

He listened to the movement outside the door and made sure that no one had opened the door and walked out.

The long hallway was covered with a red carpet, and someone was talking by the window in the distance, and he heard the movement and glanced at it from afar. Zhou Huaijing recognized one of them as a girl in a red dress on the beach that night, and when he saw him, he bowed his head to the noble lady beside him and said something, and he was about to walk in his direction.

Zhou Huaijing hurriedly pretended not to see it, walked down the stairs quickly, and met several maids passing by along the way, thinking that he was a guest invited by the palace, and saluted him one after another.

There were already a lot of people in the hall, Zhou Huaijing got into the crowd, and ran into the side door while no one was paying attention.

This is the direction leading to the garden, usually there are not many people, but today there are many guests, and there are always people who want to enjoy the flowers in the garden, so from time to time there are servants who lead guests to the garden.

Zhou Huaijing saw that the princess was looking for something in the crowd, and when he turned his head, his eyes were in his direction, Zhou Huaijing's heart jumped, and he walked silently in the direction of the garden, but fortunately, the princess was entangled and did not chase after her.

The garden of the palace was a little large, and he found a quiet corner, thinking about the requirements of the mission.

The prince's happiness is about to come true, will he be able to clear the level as long as he can witness that moment?

He walked to a quiet lake, faintly heard a strange sound in the water.

I was surprised to look in the direction of the bottom of the lake.

The calm surface of the lake slowly rippled with waves, and then the water ripples became bigger and bigger, and then the circle in the center of the waves absorbed the surrounding currents, and quickly surged downward, and suddenly a swirling whirlpool was formed.

Crash!

Hearing only a loud sound of water splashing open, Zhou Huaijing subconsciously stepped back, caught a glimpse of a beautiful and gorgeous fishtail in the afterglow, looked up along the fishtail, and saw a smooth upper body, a large algae-green wavy curly hair wet and covered his body, and a good-looking face was distorted into a vicious expression, revealing sharp teeth in his mouth.

He was in a posture of opening his teeth and dancing claws, but as soon as he saw the young man on the shore, his expression immediately turned to horror, and a piercing chirp came out of his throat, and the next moment he jumped into the lake and disappeared.

Zhou Huaijing was still a little stunned when he looked at this scene.

Another merfolk?

Although it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the mission.

Why was the merfolk so afraid of him? Is it because he's a cat?

He licked his dry lips, feeling a little hungry.

Just as he was about to leave from here, he saw a white top hat by the lake, and it seemed that someone had landed here.

Without paying much attention, he left from the lakeside, but as soon as he took two steps, he vaguely saw the little princess in red and a woman in a white dress walking along with several servants.

The princess who saved the prince.

Zhou Huaijing recognized that person as one of the protagonists of today's wedding, but he didn't know why the princess, who was supposed to entertain guests in the hall, would now appear here.

This place is relatively empty, and it is not easy to hide from people, but if you say hello, you may be regarded as a villain who has infiltrated the palace, Zhou Huaijing looked at the dense tree, climbed the trunk and hurriedly climbed up.
