Chapter 13: Princess Rose's Handmaiden
After Lifa also had her own dress, Lu Ming and the others immediately set off to attend the prince's ball in the city.
This time, the dance party was open-ended, and lasted from near dusk until late at night.
When Lu Ming and the others passed, there were already many people in the venue, and it was the afternoon meal, and many people were eating around the table.
The prince didn't seem to have arrived yet, and when he heard that he would only appear at night, Lu Ming took An Leiya and the others directly to eat.
There were a lot of people in the venue, and Lu Ming's mind was not on food, but on how to inquire about Little Red Riding Hood.
The village by the forest, and the little girl in the village who likes to wear red hats, although it sounds general, but if you have actually seen it, you should still be able to remember it.
Lu Ming looked at the people who participated in the ball, most of these people were the eldest ladies of some aristocratic families, and they didn't look like people who knew anything about the village.
Just when he was a little hesitant, he heard a little commotion outside the hall.
Since everyone in the venue was eating and didn't pay attention to other things, only Lu Ming noticed it at the first time.
He glanced at the entrance of the main hall and found that the guards in the courtyard outside were entangled with a dusty woman.
"Wait for me here, don't run around."
Lu Ming said a word, then turned around and left the table.
An Leiya was stunned, glanced at his back, and didn't know where he had gone.
As for Lifa, after she had no previous memories, her whole body seemed to be broken, and she was looking at the food in front of her at the moment, and she didn't notice that Lu Ming had left.
"Please let me in! I am the lady-in-waiting of Princess Rose in a distant land, and something great has happened in our kingdom, so I ask for the help of the prince! ”
Not far away, Lu Ming heard the voice of the woman who looked a little shabby.
And the guards, after hearing the woman's words, sneered even more:
"Just you, the princess's maid?"
The men looked at the woman's shabby attire, then paused, and laughed:
"Forget it! Not everyone can attend the ball held by our prince, and you are unlikely to be chosen! ”
As he spoke, he was going to drive her away.
It was clear that the guards had mistaken the woman for someone who wanted to trick her into the ball, daydreaming of being chosen by the prince as the princess.
Seeing that these guards didn't believe her, the woman was very anxious, but she didn't want to leave.
Lu Ming, who had already walked to the courtyard outside the hall, heard the woman's words, but he thought about it for a while.
Princess Rose, it seems that Sleeping Beauty is here, looking for the prince to save their kingdom?
Lu Ming didn't care about this matter, he just saw that the woman had come from a distant place, and the clothes on her body were already in tatters, and she must have passed through many villages.
Maybe you can ask her about Little Red Riding Hood.
Thinking so, he directly spoke out to stop the guards.
"You guys, let her in."
A simple sentence made the woman's eyes reveal a touch of gratitude, and she felt that the man in front of her was the first person to believe her words.
"Huh? Who are you?! ”
And those guards were not so easy to fool, they didn't know Lu Ming at all, so naturally it was impossible to listen to him.
It's just that before they stepped forward to confront Lu Ming, these guards suddenly found that they couldn't move.
They looked down and found their bodies unexpectedly, and they didn't know when they were bound by an emerald green magic rope, rooted in the ground, making them unable to move at all.
"Witch, wizard!"
A terrible thought appeared in the heads of these guards, and the next moment, a cold sweat flowed uncontrollably from the brains of these people.
No one knew the horrors of wizards better than these guards, and there were few such people in the entire kingdom.
But each one, even the king, must give them enough face, otherwise with the magic in their hands, even the number of guards will be difficult to resist.
"Let's invite this young lady in!"
The guards immediately relented.
They don't want to offend a wizard because of a shabby-dressed woman, she can go in if she wants, and I think the prince will understand when he knows that this is the meaning of the wizard.
The guards couldn't move now, but they all bowed their heads to the woman, as if inviting her in.
It's just that at this moment, the woman who called herself the maid of Princess Rose did not move.
Seeing Lu Minglu's hand, she was completely stunned.
Wizard, she knew exactly what that meant.
Their kingdom was cursed for inviting one less witch to the banquet where the princess was born, and now the entire palace is in a deep sleep.
If you can get the help of the person in front of you, you will definitely be able to save them!
As soon as the woman had this thought, she knelt down and shouted:
"Save our kingdom!"
The woman put her head on the ground, as if she was determined to let him help, which made Lu Ming frown.
"Come in with me first."
He did not accede to the woman's request, but said so, and turned and went to the main hall.
The woman had to get up, gritted her teeth and chased after her.
When he returned to the main hall, Lu Ming found that he was sitting at the dining table, and he didn't know when it became a mess.
On the side, An Leia looked at the empty table in a daze, and Lifa's seat was even more empty.
So Lu Ming couldn't help but ask:
"Where's Lifa?"
In this regard, An Leia looked at him and pointed not far away with some tears:
"Isn't it there......"
Over there, Lifa was sitting at a brand new table, quickly eliminating the food, and in the blink of an eye, she had eaten a table clean.
Lu Ming shook his head, knowing that the reason why An Leiya's appearance was so resentful was because the people nearby had already looked at them a little strangely at this moment.
"Forget it, leave her alone."
Lu Ming didn't limit Lifa's behavior, knowing that after she recovered her memory, she naturally wanted to cry in shame.
And he had already begun to ask the maid of the Rose Princess:
"You're from far away?"
Hearing his words, the maid was stunned and nodded, not knowing why Lu Ming suddenly asked like this.
Lu Ming at the next moment cut straight to the point:
"So have you ever met a little girl who likes to wear Little Red Riding Hood?"
"The little girl lives in the village, and the hat was given to her by her grandmother, who lives in the forest."
In a few short words, the maid was asked in a daze, and An Leiya on the side had already covered her face.
She thought that Lu Ming asked such a strange question, it was strange that the other party could answer.
Unexpectedly, to the surprise of both of them, the maid seemed to think of something after staying for a while:
"When you say that, I seem to have some clues......
"I don't know about the little girl in Little Red Riding Hood, but I've heard of an old man living in a forest somewhere, and that old man does have a granddaughter."
"What impressed me at the time was that there were wolves in the forest, but the old man was still living alone in it, which was very strange, so I always remember this incident."
