Chapter 3 3 Embarking on a Journey Moonlit Night Concert - The Lying Princess and the Blind Prince
Along the way, because of excitement and the instinct from the wolf's swiftness, the princess pulled the prince and ran forward, but the prince was at first more restrained, not daring to take a big stride, it was difficult to keep up with the princess's footsteps, and he was so tired that he was a little wheezing. The princess keenly caught the prince's breathing.
"Prince, am I running too fast?" She asked cautiously.
"Ahh I couldn't see with my eyes, so it was hard to keep my balance. ”
"However, this section of the road is all flat, and if you don't take the opportunity to hurry up, then the road will become more and more difficult to walk in the forest, and it will take a lot of time. It's safe on the road, just trust me and take it in stride. ”
Obviously a very shy prince, holding hands is a stranger who has almost never met. But for some reason, the prince had an inexplicable but firm sense of trust in the warm and soft hand he was holding, and really let go of all the worries in his heart, and followed the princess's footsteps closely.
The princess and the prince chatted happily in the forest, and the princess said that she liked to run in the mountains, and the prince said that she liked to read books and so on. "I like to read books about flowers, because I don't have much opportunity to get out of the castle, and I really want to see the flowers of the outside world. In particular, I heard that there are many rare flowers in the depths of the forest, but they are not seen in places where humans can reach, and since the princess can freely travel between the forests, she must have admired many kinds of exotic flowers and plants, right? As the prince said this, there was a rustling sound in the grass, and a small monster flew towards the prince. Just as the monster was about to bite the prince's head, the agile princess quickly turned into a wolf and threw the monster away.
But for the prince, it all happened in the dark, and the frightened prince fell to the ground, and he had just been injured by a monster not long ago, weak, pitiful and helpless.
"If you don't do something...... wolf panicked, but he had no idea what to do with the humans who were immersed in fear.
"I'm afraid, woo, I'm afraid......" the prince sobbed as he sat on the ground. This made the wolf, who had never had so-called sympathy, feel a sour feeling in his heart.
“…… Either way, something had to be done to calm the prince's mind. The wolf looked around and saw a beautiful bush of flowers, and when the wolf saw the flowers, he remembered what the prince had just said. Yes, I'll pick flowers and give them to the prince. ”
With the attitude of giving it a try, the princess plucked a flower from the bush that she thought was the most vivid and fragrant. Eagerly delivered into the hands of the prince.
"Prince, this is for you."
"Is this a flower? It smells so good. The prince ceased to be afraid, and the look of fear on his face was swept away. It seems to be all right, otherwise the princess wouldn't have had a linear defloration for me. He thought so.
"yes, I just heard you say that you like flower books. I'll pick one and give it to you. The prince smiled slightly at the princess's words.
"Thank you, I don't know what kind of tweed you are, it's a pity that you can't see with your eyes, so I look forward to your eyes being cured." Seeing the appearance of the prince, the princess was relieved.
"What should I give you in return? By the way, the princess doesn't seem to read a lot, so if you don't mind, I'll tell you the story I read in the book. "I didn't expect the prince to be so happy, the princess feels closer to the prince, and the next time I see a beautiful flower, I will pick it for him."
How long did it take? The princess walked in the dangerous forest with unaccustomed human bodies, and the prince walked in the dangerous forest with invisible blind eyes, and when they came to their senses, it was already dark, and the two of them were a little tired.
Just as their stomachs were rumbling, the princess found a suitable place to rest.
"Prince, rest here today." After informing the prince, the princess settled him on a smooth stone and began to prepare dinner.
"Dang dang dang," said the princess, taking out the prepared meat. "Prince, please use it slowly."
Meat was the princess's favorite food, and the prince would love it, and the princess smiled like a child and handed the prince the fresh meat that was still dripping with blood.
"Thank you." The prince who took the meat lowered his head and took a bite. "It's always a wonderful taste." The prince chewed and said, "It's not at all different from what I've eaten, what is this?"
"This is fresh rabbit meat I just caught, how about it?" It's delicious," said the princess with confidence. But......
"It's hard, is it raw, raw meat? Uh, gag! The prince spit out what he had eaten, and the princess, who had thought that the prince would like it, looked at the prince in amazement.
"I'm sorry, but there is no habit of eating raw meat in my country." The prince said as he wiped his mouth, and the princess looked like she had done something wrong.
"I see, how do you eat it?"
"In my country, people roast meat over a fire before eating it, because if you eat it raw, it will hurt your stomach and it will not be easy to absorb."
"Ahh Hearing the word fire, the princess was taken aback, for monsters fire is the last thing they want to provoke, they are actually roasted with fire, and they are afraid just thinking about it.
"Yes, that's right, there's no fire here, I'll help you find some alternative fruit to eat." The princess, who never dared to use fire, fooled it like this. In the future, you still have to be careful, and never let the prince find out his true identity. However, even though the wolf is a carnivore, it has more skills than ordinary monsters, including the fact that she has long found some plants that she can digest and absorb as a substitute for meat. Because even if the hunting methods are as good as her, there is no guarantee that she will be caught every time, and if there is a natural disaster or an accidental injury or illness, those plants and fruits will always not starve to death. But the wolf would never touch the herbivores' food unless it was absolutely necessary, it would be shameless, the smell of the plants would make her sick, and the fruit would not taste like the appetite-stirring blood of raw meat. The wolf found some fruits and vegetables that could be eaten by humans from memory, picked some ripe ones and sent them to the prince.
"Princess, is it really customary to eat raw meat in your country? Have you ever had diarrhea and malnutrition? The prince asked with concern as he ate. This time, he didn't lower his head and bite down like he did at the beginning, but tried to eat little by little, for fear that something would go wrong if the eating habits of the two countries were different. But in the wolf's opinion, the prince seemed to have distrusted himself, and his heart was full of pantothenic acid, and even the answer was weak: "I have never heard of anyone who is sick because of eating raw meat, and it seems that the more meat he eats, the stronger he is." This is also true, 10,000 years ago, human beings became wise by eating cooked food that was easy to absorb. Monsters are just the opposite, high-level monsters get the freshest fresh meat from the prey, in addition to obtaining nutrients, they can also absorb the life force of the dead, and the tissues that have not deteriorated are not digested and absorbed and directly used by the prey's body, which is more effective than cooked food for monsters.
"In that case, I'm relieved. You can enjoy this raw meat, princess, alone. Don't worry about my recipe, I hope it will be as you say, princess, the more you eat, the stronger you are. The prince smiled harmlessly as he held the fruit. The princess's heart was warm, she was ready to eat only fruit like the prince along the way, although the thought of eating fruit made her sick to her stomach, but as long as she was with the prince, it was nothing. Now that the prince accepted the reality of her eating raw meat without any doubt, she was overjoyed!
