5. The cursed prince

"Emmm, is this what it's called a curse?"

Merlin stood in front of the mirror once more, looking at the shadow of the demon reflected in the mirror, and fell into deep thought.

"Well, it's not ugly, it's pretty handsome, I thought it was some kind of terrible curse."

Some playfully wagged their tails, some curiously reached out and touched the horns on their heads, and Merlin accepted the truth unexpectedly quickly.

Hawkers,Super adaptability,This is probably one of the few commendable advantages of the ordinary man of the dead house Merlin.。

Moreover, he looked at the monster in the mirror with an unexpectedly pleasing look at the monster in his previous life, but he had not yet graduated from a psychosis contracted in the second year of high school, which was quite in line with the aesthetics of a dark messenger like him.

"Oooh... There are meat balls on the palm, this nostalgic high-end feel is refreshing. ”

As if he had discovered some secret treasure, he spread out his palm, which looked like the claws of a big cat, ignoring the dagger-sharp nails on the paws, and just looked at the equally soft and large pad of flesh in his palm, and his face was happy.

This little meat pad is one of his sources of happiness, in his previous life he had a cat named Fat House Happy Beast, one of his favorite things to do is to play with the small meat pad on the cat's paws, that wonderful feel is really lovely.

Originally, I thought that I would temporarily lose this happiness after crossing over, but I never expected that happiness would come so suddenly, even if he lost the fat house happy beast, but now he can satisfy himself by himself.

However, thinking of this, he missed his fat house happy beast in another world a little nostalgically, and he didn't know what would happen to him after his shovel officer disappeared?

Will it be like Hachiko in the movie waiting for him to go?

Forehead.... Forget it, don't dream, I'm afraid that the cat has forgotten about him as a shoveler, and that guy has sneaked out of the open window and returned to his kingdom to be a powerful man, after all, that guy was the bars in the stray cat group in the community before he was picked up by himself.

After sorting out his divergent thoughts, Merlin calmed down a little, and then began to get down to business, which was to figure out "Who am I?" Where am I? What am I going to do? "This is the ultimate question that no one can escape from the traversers.

Fortunately, in the previous soul battle in the sea of knowledge, the memory of the original owner was well preserved, and now all of Merlin's questions can be answered from the book of memories in the library of the sea of knowledge.

Stretching out his hand like the claws of the feline beast, an illusory book slowly appeared in his hand, with the title of the book written on the black cover - Merlin.

This book of memories is the autobiography of the original owner, recording everything that has happened to him from his birth to the present.

So, by the bright moonlight, the huge monster sat on the edge of the bed and read a book seriously......

After a long time, closing the last page of the book, and casually waving this figurative book of memory, Merlin looked up at the bright moon outside the window and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Alas, unfortunate."

Except for a word of misfortune, he really didn't know how to describe this unlucky original owner.

..........

It all started with a farce thirty years ago when a dragon kidnapped the princess.

After plundering the wealth of Cornwallis City, an evil dragon has captured Her Royal Highness Princess, who has the title of the first beauty in the entire continent.

At that time, His Majesty the King of the Hayward Empire only had a child under his knees, and the only heir of the empire was captured by the evil dragon, and His Majesty the King was anxious and immediately issued a bounty recruitment order to the whole continent.

As long as anyone can defeat the dragon and save the princess, then he will give the throne to the warrior along with the princess.

As long as you defeat an evil dragon, you can get the throne of ruling half of the entire continent and the princess who is known as the first beauty of the continent at the same time, who can refuse such a good thing?

For a while, the whole continent was boiling, and countless guys who claimed to be brave men set off in full gear and slaughtered the evil dragon's lair.

And there's not much to tell about the rest of the story.

Ten years have passed, and apart from reports of casualties from the dragon-slaying team, there is no news of the princess at all.

And just when the old king was dying, the brave man of destiny stepped forward, he took the best sword and the best armor in the village, gathered the best companions, and finally succeeded in killing the dragon and rescuing the princess from the dragon's castle.

And the old king also smiled in this uninterrupted mixture of joy and sorrow, and before his death, he used his last breath to officiate the wedding of the brave man and the princess, and gave the crown symbolizing royal power, the scepter, and the iron throne to the brave man.

Since then, the brave man and the princess, who have become the new king, live happily ever after in the castle.

Well, the story of Dragon Quest, which is quite traditional and old-fashioned, generally speaking, should have come to a successful conclusion at this point, but in fact this is just the beginning.

The brave man who became the king was indeed quite good, the empire flourished under his rule, and his relationship with the princess had always been very good, and finally, in the fourth year after the marriage, the good news that the whole empire was jubilant finally came out of the palace.

The former princess, now the queen is pregnant, and the great and ancient empire has a new heir.

October's pregnancy passed quickly, and the queen gave birth to a child smoothly, it was a prince, the child was so cute, everyone who saw the little prince would sincerely say that it was a little angel, and the perfect inheritance of the queen's beauty.

And there is reason to believe that when this beautiful little prince grows up, he will be as brave, wise and powerful as his father, His Majesty the Great King, and he will lead the empire to new glory.

In order to celebrate the prince's birthday, the king and queen held a grand banquet in the castle outside the city, and all the guests who came to celebrate the little prince's birthday, whether lowly slaves or noble nobles, could go to the castle on that day to send their blessings.

However, it was also this birthday celebration that everything began to take a turn for the worse.

After everyone had blessed the little prince, a young witch came to the prince, who was still a baby.

"First meeting, my lovely brother."

Under everyone's astonished and puzzled gaze, the witch said to the prince in the cradle.

Then the witch pulled out a bloody heart and recited a blasphemous curse in her mouth.

"In order to prevent you from growing up to be the scum of our common father in the future, I bless you with the heart of this demon king, my dear brother, that you will become the ugliest and most evil demon king in the world every night when the sun sets, and all creatures that yearn for the light will hate you and hate you, and you will lose everything you have now."

"Unless the kiss of true love can save you, you will spend your life alone in this dark castle."

As the witch's words fell, the bloody demonic heart turned into pitch-black magic and flowed into the chest of the prince in the cradle, and the dark power that rose to the sky blocked the sun in the sky for a moment, plunging the entire continent into darkness, and under the witness of countless terrifying beings looming in the darkness, the most powerful curse in the history of this continent was established.

And the young witch's hood was lifted by the magic of the rage, revealing the face that had been hidden in the shadows, a face as beautiful as an elf, no, judging by the slightly pointed ears that were different from humans, this should be an elf.

It's just that this beautiful elven witch has three points between her eyebrows and eyes, which is very similar to the great king, and as we all know, the mage in the king's dragon slaying team back then was a princess of the elf race.

Emmmmm.......
