Chapter 69: Blacken, Cinderella! 19
……
His Royal Highness the Honorable Prince went to pick her up? Carol snickered.
But she forgot that there was still a wound on her face and that her hair was a little messy, so she exposed herself to him.
Wenzel smiled at her with a gentle expression:
"My cousin came from afar, so naturally she should greet her, and do the friendship of the landlord.
What's more, she is so beautiful, elegant, noble and generous, and she is a model among aristocratic ladies. ”
He complimented like this, softly, sincerely, and politely.
It was as if she didn't see the bruises and embarrassment under her eyes.
"Thank you, thank you......" Carol blushed, and then remembered that he had seen the injury on his face!
She quickly lowered her head.
"Haha~" Susan, the maid on the side, covered her mouth and snickered, looking very happy.
If it weren't for Venzel's eyes as bright as stars, she would have wondered if this prince was blind? Otherwise, how could they open their eyes and tell nonsense like this?
Carroll's face was embarrassed and her brows were furrowed, and she hated Susan to death;
But there is also a bit of happiness, Susan dares to be presumptuous in front of her aunt, she is really looking for death.
The queen glanced at Venzel, quietly pulled Carol up, and walked towards the depths of the palace, in a gentle tone:
"Let's talk to your brother later, you should be tired after walking such a long way, go to the room and rest......
By the way, at eight o'clock in the evening, there will be a dinner party for you. ”
Carol secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she just wanted to freshen up and save her image in Wenzel's heart.
……
Two hours passed.
It was already dark, and the palace was full of staggered things.
Carol had a thick layer of powder on her face, but faint scars could still be seen.
The king, who was a man of great stature and a majestic appearance, was the first to ask, and from time to time he asked her a few difficult questions.
With the queen on her side, the atmosphere is not cold.
Carroll smiled cautiously and tried to be well-behaved, sensible, and elegant.
She knew that this banquet was quite important.
It was the first time the king had seen her in ten years, and if he was not satisfied, it would be difficult for her to marry Venzel.
Susan has been quietly locked up by the queen, and she no longer has to worry about someone tearing down the stage.
The king's face looked fine, at least there was no disgust, and Carol felt a little hopeful in his heart, and he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Venzel.
His profile, under the bright light, is as delicate and elegant as a carving.
He lowered his eyes quietly and slowly cut the steak, his face not showing boredom, but it seemed to be ...... Not very happy.
Soon.
An attendant approached, put down the food tray on Wenzel's table, bowed, and whispered:
"Your Highness, your cat has returned, and has arrived at your residence."
Wenzel's eyes lit up and he bowed his head at him: "Thank you for bringing good news." ”
The attendant saluted and left, and Wenzel couldn't sit down anymore.
- Those just now, in fact, are code words.
He did have a big white cat that always liked to run around, but in the words of the attendant, the "cat" referred to Cynderella.
She had reached his castle safely.
I'd love to see her right away.
But now...... The banquet is not over yet.
Wenzel lowered his head and thought about how to leave early, the corners of his lips unconsciously hooked, and he smirked to himself, unaware that he hadn't participated in the chat for a long time.
When the king saw that he had at last raised his eyebrows, he laughed aloud and asked:
"My child, what happened to you?"
"My cat went out for days and finally came back." Wenzel smiled.
"Oh, you can't wait to meet it, go ahead, remember to rest early." The king waved, completely oblivious to the strict rules of the royal banquet.
