I am worried that one day a man from the East will suddenly appear, and his mermaid will be deceived by just using delicious food.
No, we need to bring the mermaid ashore as soon as possible.
The queen is fine, Andre is relieved, he can't be angry with the queen, the queen saw him coming, and handed over a pair of chopsticks very happily: "Try it, this is the first time I use this kind of tableware, but I can already use it decently the first time I use it, you can use it." ”
The queen's intention to see the joke was too obvious, and André took the chopsticks, and just looked at the queen's gesture of holding the chopsticks, and was already able to pick up things with the chopsticks decently, although the movements were not so skillful.
The queen was deflated, and when she was deflated, she was very excited to introduce André to a little girl she had newly met.
"Anna's father is just a little baron, but Anna herself is very good, I don't know how many princes and nobles want to ask to marry Anna, but Anna refuses, Anna is determined to inherit her father's honor, and make a career at sea, such a good girl is really rare."
Andre smiled quietly, not talking to the queen, the queen talked alone for a while, and no one talked to her, and she felt bored.
After the mother and son quietly finished solving this novel food called hot pot, the queen looked at her son with sparkling eyes: "How is it?" Is it delicious? ”
"Not bad."
Andrei's answer did not meet the queen's expectations, and the queen began to miss Anna, although Anna was a typical aristocratic girl, the kind that took the rules and manners to her bones, but Anna would match her words.
Even if she herself thinks that eating hot pot is not very elegant, so she does not use chopsticks, but when the queen asks, Anna will still pick the queen's favorite words to answer.
is not like the stupid son of his own family, who doesn't know how to coax her at all.
It's a shame that when she was a child, she still told stories to her stupid son every day.
Naturally, someone will clean up the broken table, and after eating, the two changed their clothes and changed places to sit, and the queen regained her elegant and dignified personality, holding in her hand the fan that is loved by aristocratic women nowadays, which is also from the East, and there is a fan that is fanning the wind for a while.
"Mother, do you know the story of the mermaid?"
As soon as Andre spoke, the queen suddenly became excited, "You finally believe that what I said is true?" Didn't you keep saying that it was all a lie? ”
Since André was seven years old, he no longer listened to bedtime stories, and even though the queen still found time to tell him bedtime stories, she could no longer enjoy them, and her cute and cute son said in surprise that the mermaid was really pitiful when she said how it was.
On the contrary, all she gets is that the story of the mermaid is a lie, and there is no refutation of such a creature in the world as a mermaid.
The queen was choked with rage.
So, after that, the bedtime story was broken.
Today is the first time Andre has grown up that he has taken the initiative to ask himself about the story of mermaids.
The queen was teased at first, but soon, the queen remembered the rumor that André had gone to sea on a baron's ship a few days ago and almost died at sea.
The queen immediately began to worry, only for a moment, and soon she turned into fear again, after all, Andre was still sitting here, which was enough to show that he had not been irreparably harmed by the storm that almost killed the sea.
Therefore, the queen's expression turned into fear.
She almost didn't see her child.
After the worried and frightened look was played out in turn, the queen thought of something, she drank away from her servants, and asked André, "Have you seen them?" ”
"They?" Andrei's expression became suspicious, and he was keenly aware that he was afraid that his mother had some hidden identity that no one knew.
"You must have seen it, rumored to have heard the banshee's song in the midst of the storm."
"There is indeed a banshee's singing voice." Andre said, thinking of the mermaid's greedy appearance, it was really unexpected that she would have such a good voice.
"There have never been any banshees in the sea, only mermaids, or to be precise, mermaids, mermaids are the names given to them by humans, they were originally called mermaids, because most of the mermaids are extremely good-looking, so they were added by humans to a beautiful word in front."
The queen seemed to be very familiar with the merfolk race.
André did not interject rashly, but quietly listened to the queen's story.
"Merfolk are the darlings of the sea, and once upon a time, merfolk were able to control the sea, and they held the power of the sea in their hands, which was a gift from the sea to their daughters.
But there was a mermaid who lost his authority, and this stupid mermaid made a bet with the witch who had to hide herself in the deep sea because she was persecuted, and made a deal with the mermaid to maintain her basic needs.
The bet is true love, the mermaid believes in true love, and the witch tells the mermaid that there is no such thing as true love in the world, and true love is such a thing, who can say clearly?
The mermaid didn't believe it, and the two of them made a bet, and the mermaid and the witch who were the same age as the mermaid were barely friends, but both of them had a strong competitive spirit, so they had that bet.
The source of witches' magic has always been like this, since it is a transaction, what must be given and what must be gained.
Therefore, after the two of them bet, the mermaid must give and get something.
The mermaid trades her beautiful tail and voice for legs that can live on the shore, and as the heart of the gamble, the mermaid needs to find her true love so that she can return to the sea and receive a gift from the witch.
If the merfolk fail to find their true love and return to the sea within the allotted time, she will turn into a bubble and disappear completely, and at the same time, a part of the power of the sea that belongs to her will fall into the hands of the witch. ”
The queen paused deliberately when she said this, but André was no longer Andre when he was a child, and he did not have the slightest such thing as a witch being bad, but quietly waited for the queen's next words.
The queen glared at him before she continued.
Witches never buy and sell at a loss, it has nothing to do with whether they are your friends or not, this is the basic criterion for their survival.
They have been embraced from an early age, so when they make a bet with the merfolk, the witch adds a requirement that if the merfolk do not find true love, they must hand over the authority that belongs to the sea.
The first time the mermaid came to shore, she didn't understand anything, she didn't understand human society, everything asked for money.
The mermaid who had no money almost starved to death, but it was a teenager who took her in, and the boy was not particularly handsome, but not bad either.
