The Grand Duke of Estonia looked gloomy, and the Grand Duchess had a cold look in her eyes.

Does Bishop Margery mean something?

Bishop Margery, however, did not seem to see the change in the faces of the Archduke of Estonia and his wife, but said to himself, "These beautiful red shoes come from a lovely little girl. ”

"This little girl's name is Galen!"

Galen was born into a poor family, and in the summer she had to walk barefoot, and in the winter she had to drag a pair of heavy wooden shoes, which were worn out. But there is no way, poor little Galen does not have a pair of shoes of his own! ”

"Her mother was an old shoemaker in the village! She feels very sorry for little Galen, and she is determined to make a beautiful pair of red shoes for her daughter! ”

She painstakingly found an old piece of red cloth, sat down and sewed a pair of small shoes with all her might! These little shoes are not good-looking, or even a little ugly, but they are full of a mother's love for her daughter! ”

Bishop Margery spoke quietly, and the Archduke and Duchess of Estonia listened unconsciously in their impatient hearts.

When she heard this, the Grand Duchess Susan felt the same way and couldn't help but say, "Is this the shoe?" ”

"Of course not, Grand Duchess!" Bishop Margery smiled and said, "These shoes are priceless for a daughter, but they are not the protagonist of our discussion today!" ”

Grand Duchess Susan closed her mouth.

Bishop Margery continued, "Not long after the shoes were sewn, little Galen's mother died! Little Galen had to wear these red shoes to his mother's funeral! ”

"An old lady who had returned to the village to visit her relatives saw this scene and felt very sorry for little Galen, who was a widow and had no children, so she adopted her!"

"The old lady took little Galen back to the city."

"The old lady provided little Galen with food, little Galen to drink, and clothing, and little Galen's life became much happier."

"Everything is going for the better, except for ......," Bishop Margery said.

"I guess it has something to do with those red shoes, right?" Archduchess Susan was smart and guessed.

"Yes, Grand Duchess!" Bishop Margery nodded with a smile and continued, "Little Galen wears those little red shoes every day, but the old lady doesn't like it very much, thinks it is unlucky and annoying. Poor little Galen once naively thought that the old lady liked the red shoes very much, but he didn't expect it to be the opposite. ”

"The old lady took these red shoes and burned them!"

"No, how could she?" Archduchess Susan, who is also the mother of a child, was most emotional when she heard this.

"It's a pity that little Galen's mother made the red shoes for her daughter were burned!" Bishop Margery said.

Grand Duchess Susan suddenly stopped talking.

Bishop Margery continued, "Time passed, and little Galen grew up to an age where he could be honored. People are saying she's cute and beautiful! ”

"Once, when the princess of Galen's country went on tour, she went to see it too! In that princess, Galen saw a pair of red tanned leather shoes at the princess's feet! What a pair of beautiful red shoes! Bishop Margery praised.

"Is that the red shoes?" Grand Duchess Susan couldn't help but say again.

"Sorry, dear madam, not really!" Bishop Margery shook his head, then said, "But these red shoes also attracted Galen's eyes, and she also wanted a pair of red shoes of her own!" ”

"Galen went to a shoe store in the city, a shop that specialized in making shoes for the aristocratic and wealthy. There are many large glass shelves with neat shoes and shiny boots on display. In it, Galen discovers a pair of shoes that resemble the princess's red shoes. ”

The old lady who adopted Galen couldn't see clearly, she didn't know that the shoes were red, and thought they were black. So she bought Galen the shoes! ”

"Galen loves these shoes so much! She wore these shoes to various balls every day, and everyone who saw her praised her! ”

"This made this lovely little girl proud and vain in her heart."

"She even wore these red shoes to participate in the baptism of the Lord of Light!"

"Oh my God! It's disrespectful......" muttered Archduchess Susan, who would not have done such a thing in such a solemn place, even if this was the Northlands.

"Vanity always blinds people." Bishop Margery said lightly, without any expression at all, as if it was commonplace!

"Galen, who was wearing red shoes, got everyone's attention in the church, but Galen was very happy!"

"However, when the kind-hearted old lady learned about this from the mouths of others, she was very angry and sternly stopped Galen from wearing red shoes to church again, and only black shoes!"

"But Galen thought that wearing black shoes would not attract the attention of others, and when the next church service came, Galen still couldn't resist the temptation of the devil in his heart, so he put on these red shoes again and went to church!"

"At the door of the church, there was a crippled veteran, standing on a cane. He had a very strange long beard, and his beard was red. ”

When he saw the old lady and Galen, he bent his waist to the ground, and said to the old lady if he could be allowed to wipe the dust off Galen's shoes, because only clean people can enter the church!"

Galen stretched out her little feet, and the disabled soldier saw the red shoes, and he couldn't help but admire, what beautiful dancing shoes they were, they were the most appropriate to wear while dancing, but they were not suitable for entering the church!

"The old lady didn't expect Galen to put on the red shoes again, she was very angry, she ordered Galen to take off the red shoes, Galen agreed on the surface, but took advantage of the old lady's dazzle, quietly put them on again, and entered the holy church!"

"And then what?" The Archduke of Estonia frowned and asked, "Has she been expelled from the church?" ”

"Nope! The Light is forgiving! Galen's prayer went smoothly, but when she prayed, Galen didn't put her mind on believing in the Lord of Light, she only thought about her red shoes! Bishop Margery's tone became a little stern as he said this.

The Archduke of Estonia's eyes shrank slightly, for when he prayed, he was not thinking of the Lord of Light, but ......

The Archduke of Estonia wasn't sure if Bishop Margery meant something, but Bishop Margery continued!
