Chapter 124: Gambling on Life? Do you have what it takes?
Speaking of which, the Grand Elder didn't give Ariel any chance to refute, but smiled slightly and said, "Of course, if this terrible and ugly carriage is willing to let us add a little magic enchantment, then of course it can run faster. But...... Hehe, it's just that no matter what, it's impossible to escape the effects of magic. ”
While the Grand Elder was speaking, the royal carriage had already circled from the other side of the castle. With a blistering pace, the carriage galloped and quickly returned to the starting line, winning the race deservedly.
When all the magic on the carriage was gone, the two horses pulling the cart began to pant heavily, and a little white foam came out between their mouths and noses. The driver of the cart also jumped out of the carriage and fed the two horses with two carrots from the basket that had been prepared on the side.
It was also a long time before the traces of the monster carriage appeared on the walkway in the distance. It was still coming at the same pace as it had just set out, unhurriedly.
Cream, who was sitting on the demon dragon, saw Ariel from afar, and a look of shame immediately appeared on her face. He gripped the horns of the monster car, lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and looked remorseful, but he reluctantly continued to control the car, slowly coming over, and finally stopped next to the royal carriage.
"It's a very fun toy."
The Great Elder stepped forward, stretched out his hand and gently tapped the skin of this demon dragon chariot, and said with a smile-
"But that's about it. Your Highness, I have said a long time ago that you should not casually believe the words of a lowly maid. These inferior slaves were able to do anything in order to be able to sensationalize, to be able to gain the favor of their masters. ”
As he spoke, the Great Elder's gaze glanced at Ariel here with a little disdain, smiled slightly, and continued—
"A humble maid may want to seduce the Lord, or she may want to make some strange thing. If it's just fun, that's fine, but if it's true, it's really worth the loss. ”
Faced with this situation, the smile on Ariel's face gradually disappeared.
She turned her head slightly, and looked at Miss Alice for a moment.
At the moment when she saw the eldest lady, Ariel found that the eldest lady was also looking at her now.
Her eyes were full of [7788 www.7788ks.xyz] pity and sympathy, and at the same time, there was a little relief in the eyes of the eldest lady, even a little bit of protection.
After realizing Ariel's eyes, the eldest lady stretched out her hand and beckoned to her gently, which obviously meant to warn her that at this point, stop making trouble, and must be safe and live well. Maybe an apology and a laugh now can provoke a burst of laughter from the people around you, and explain such an impertinent act as a funny circus?
Ariel, looking at the eldest lady.
After feeling her gentle and nervous gaze, Ariel slowly withdrew her gaze.
She turned her head and glanced slightly at Tesla, who was still in a state of shock, and after a moment of silence, she stepped forward, slowly saluted the three great elders who seemed to be in high spirits, and said-
"Your Excellency, I-"
"Who are you to talk to me? Let your master come and talk to me! ”
Before Ariel could finish speaking, the Grand Elder immediately waved his sleeves and showed great impatience towards Ariel. The other Great Elder looked at the tide of the Second Princes here and said, "Your Royal Highness, Your servant has been rude for too long, so it's better to discipline him a little now, okay?" ”
Tide snorted, turned his gaze to the maid, who had now been completely ignored, and said, "What are you still doing standing over there?" Why don't you get out of here, lest you be embarrassed again?! ”
Ariel was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but take a breath, her eyes fixed on the tide. The second prince immediately instinctively drifted to the side the moment he met Ariel's eyes, but soon he realized that he didn't need to be so afraid of such a maid, and immediately turned his gaze back to stare at Ariel.
"Don't you, dear...... Don't you say that about Ariel...... Dear ......"
Miss Alice was also panicked now, she hurriedly hugged her fiancé's hand, and at the same time looked at Ariel in the center of the field even more nervously, and beckoned to her again and again. This meaning is already obvious, if Ariel doesn't know how to lift, then she can be regarded as forcing herself to die!
"Your Highness...... Your Highness! ”
It was at this moment that Ariel suddenly knelt down towards the crown prince, who had turned her back to her, she stretched out her hands and pressed against the grass under her feet, her forehead slammed into the ground, and with the last courage, she said loudly—
"Please...... Give me another chance! The carriage we made definitely has its advantages! Now I beg Your Highness to allow us to run again! Just run again! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... Please...... Please......! ”
The crown prince in front of him was still facing away from Ariel, and he looked up at the sky, exhaling slowly.
After a moment, he turned back and looked at the ugly carriage, and looked at the pipes that were wrapped around its body, like a multitude of horrible tentacles and tendrils. As soon as its shortcomings are recognized, the shape immediately triggers physical discomfort.
After a moment of thought, Fierce Wave said, "Do you want to run again?" Even if you run again, what can you do? I now give you a chance to return to your master's side and do your duty in peace. Today, I would have assumed that it did not exist at all. Otherwise...... I can't protect you. ”
What does this mean?
Ariel wasn't a fool and certainly knew what it meant.
It's just that now, if you can't turn the tables here in one go, then your life will definitely not be easy in the future! This is no longer just a matter of oneself, but a matter of life and death for everyone in the entire Mermaid Song! Other than that......
It is also a question that includes all the dignity that she, Ariel Garcia, has upheld for so many years!
"Your Highness...... As a servant, I know my place and what I'm doing right now......"
Ariel's forehead was still against the ground, gritting her teeth, holding back the fear in her heart, and said word by word—
"I'm a slave, and the decisions made by slaves certainly can't be shocking......"
"But for now, I still hope to be able to use my insignificant life as a little slave girl to beg you again for a chance......"
"Just one more time...... Run again! I assure you that you will definitely not get the same result this time! If, after this race, you're still unhappy with the car we made, then ...... I am willing to give this life of mine directly! If you want to kill or chop, I have absolutely no complaints! ”
This promise has been made.
I believe that everyone present has heard it clearly, and they all understand this slave girl's determination to risk her life now.
Merely......
Some of the nobles, laughed.
That's ridicule.
Others, on the other hand, shook their heads sadly.
That's pitiful.
It wasn't even after Ariel said these words that she suddenly realized what a stupid thing she had said! That is, when I am so anxious now, I will say such ignorant words.
"Ariel, you should know that as a servant, your life belongs to your master. You are not qualified to decide your own life and death, and you have no right to use your life to demand or promise anything from others. So you don't have the right to use your life to ask me to give you another chance, do you understand that? ”
Fierce Wave held his hands behind his back, looked at the kneeling slave girl in front of him with a look of pity, and slowly said these things that everyone understood.
At that moment, the maid knelt on the ground, her head touching the ground, and her mouth ...... But there was only silence.
Even the members who led the mermaid song behind them, when they realized that their president was really a slave who couldn't even be the master of their own lives, and saw her kneeling on the ground so undignified, and there was no way to get a chance with their own lives as bargaining chips, they all silently looked at her kneeling figure, looking at her back, which was basking in the afternoon sun...... I don't know how she's feeling right now?
On the eaves of the castle not far away, a white kitten had been sitting here for a long time now.
Its tail silently circled to its feet, and it continued to silently watch what was happening below, and also watched the human maiden slowly lose all she had. Little by little, little by little, dragged into the abyss of collapse.
"I ...... Understand ......"
After a long time, the female slave slowly straightened up, her eyes staring directly at the crown prince in front of her.
At this moment, her voice was no longer trembling, and her expression seemed much more natural-
"Your Highness, I am not asking for my life to be given a chance at my victory. Instead, I hope to use His Highness's promise to present His Highness with a more splendid and wonderful world. ”
At this moment, the fierce wave of eyebrows couldn't help but raise, and said, "Do you so hope that I can see the opportunity you are talking about?" Why are you so serious? Doing the same thing again and again won't get different results. ”
