Chapter XXVII

A day has passed.

The castle was used to imprison prisoners in the tower.

The experience of the past half a month made Marlena feel that she could publish a travelogue, and being kidnapped by demons twice in a row is not a treatment that all humans will have.

During the twenty-four hours she was imprisoned in the prison, Marlena did not feel that it was so difficult, because the sound of the piano sounded from time to time in the castle, which made Marlena completely immersed in it.

Suddenly, Marlena heard footsteps approaching someone, and she came to the edge of the cell, and saw a figure who should not be there, Belle.

What happens next is just like the story, the kind Belle decides to stay in the castle in her place in order to save her relatives.

Unable to resist the power of Zenas, the elderly Marlena was dragged out of the castle by Zenas in a very rough manner, and then thrown into the garden outside the castle.

The castle gates closed again, and Marlena collapsed in the snow, shrouded in grief and despair.

"Lady Marina! Lady Marina! ”

In the midst of all despair, Marina heard her servant's voice.

Her servant led the old horse over the thorny garden and hurried to her.

"You... He hasn't even left yet. Marina looked at her in disbelief, this servant was only hired by her with money, and there was no relationship between master and servant.

As a merchant, Marlena knew that there was no more fragile emotion than a bond held on by money, but the servant risked being killed by a demon and hid in the manor.

"Honesty is the most basic principle of life, that's not the point, Lady Marina get out of here on this horse, it will take you back to the village, and go to Mr. Gaston and maybe get her out." The servant said.

"Gaston... Yes, I can ask Mr. Gaston for help. Remembering that she knew a great magician who could move freely in the Demon Realm, Marina immediately turned on her horse and moved so neatly that she did not look like an old lady in her prime.

"And what do you do?"

It was the only horse that Marina brought from the village.

"Don't worry, I've found a hiding place around here." The servant said.

Marlena didn't shirk either, she was a prioritizing person, and after leaving a word to take care, she quickly kicked the horse in the belly, and the horse opened its hooves towards the outside of the castle.

The servant watched as Marina disappeared into the forest outside the castle, and then took off the 'Ring of Transformation' from his hand.

"It's a shame that you were able to say the word honesty with a serious face."

Ciri walked out of the woods on the other side of the garden, looking at Qiao Xiu standing in front of the snow, as the director behind everything, Qiao Xiu really took care of everything from planning, scripting, shooting, and personally played a lot of cameo roles.

But this minion character doesn't fall into the category of cameos.

"Why not, I'm a demon."

Qiao Xiu walked briskly towards the interior of the castle.

Qiao Xiu's rebuttal made Ciri have nothing to say, if it weren't for Qiao Xiu's deliberate reminder, Ciri would have almost forgotten Qiao Xiu's identity as a demon prince.

The view of the hall inside the castle is not as eerie as the outside, since Ino came to the castle yesterday afternoon, Qiao Xiu has been working overtime to carry out the filming of "Beauty and the Devil".

The script that Qiao Xiu is going to shoot now is the most touching scene in the whole story, and it is also the scene that is enough to make countless girls scream, that is, the scene where Belle and the beast dance in the hall of the castle.

When Josiu walked into the hall, Ino was holding Zenas' hand and dancing in the middle of the hall.

At this time, this succubus has already worn a gorgeous princess dress, coupled with her unique charm, she is destined to be the focus of everyone from the moment she appears, and the eyes of any man or even a woman will be attracted to her.

Three minutes later.

As the music drew to a close, Eno and Zenath slowly stopped their dance.

The moment they stopped, the two demons looked at Ciri standing on the edge of the dance floor, instead of Joshew.

Speaking of which, even Qiao Xiu himself didn't believe that this young magician, who used to be so poor that she could only gnaw on tree bark every day, and occasionally had the luck to eat a meal or two of rabbit meat, would become the dance teacher of Eno and Zenas.

"Qualified, although I don't want to admit it, but you learn pretty fast."

This kind of ballroom dancing is not difficult, as long as you master the rhythm well, anyone can easily learn it, although it is called a noble dance, but in Heri's eyes, it is two people going around in circles together, which is not interesting at all.

"Then it's over for now, Zenas, Ino you go and rest first, read the script, and get ready for the next scene."

Qiao Xiu held the original spar handed over by the banshee in his hand, the filming of this scene consumed a total of seven original crystals, and recorded different shots, Qiao Xiu borrowed the seven original crystals given by the banshee at one time, and his hand overflowed with pale white magic, and according to his memory, these images were edited together one by one and merged into a single original crystal.

Qiao Xiu used the inscription to write a seventy-two word on the surface of the spar and put it in the suitcase used for storage.

"Wouldn't you know how to say ballroom dancing like that?"

Ciri suddenly approached Qiao Xiu's side and asked.

"If you could, I wouldn't have asked you to be a teacher."

After Qiao Xiu got acquainted with this female magician lady, she became less and less serious about Qiao Xiu's identity as a demon prince, if it weren't for the 'collar' that Qiao Xiu gave her around her neck, Ciri would probably continue to fight with Qiao Xiu with a small staff.

"Well, if you're going to go to human society in the future, you'll definitely use it, do you want to learn it?"

Ciri finally found a chance to raise his eyebrows, when communicating with Qiao Xiu before, Ciri always felt something called 'IQ suppression', what Qiao Xiu said always touched Ciri's knowledge blind spot, this time Ciri finally found something that Qiao Xiu wouldn't know!

“……”

Qiao Xiu looked at Ciri and suddenly remembered the husky he had raised on Earth...... It's not right to compare a girl to a husky, but Qiao Xiu somehow has this sense of immediacy.

"Then please, Miss Ciri."

What Ciri didn't expect was that Qiao Xiu would really choose to humbly ask her for advice.

"Well... I... Teach you. ”

Ciri admits that he was impulsive with what he said just now, but in fact, Ciri was more infected by Zenas and Ino's performance than the childish behavior of wanting to show off to Joshy.

Even though Ciri, as a bystander, knew that Ino and Zenas were acting, she was still immersed in the beautiful scene of "Beauty and the Devil...... Any girl who sees this scene will be infected.

That's why she was so impulsive, but regret had no effect, Qiao Xiu had already stretched out his hand to her, and Ciri could only hold Qiao Xiu's hand hard.

"Handles... Put it on my waist. Ciri's body stiffened, but finally he said this.

Qiao Xiu gently put his hand on Ciri's waist as Ciri instructed, and Ciri put his other hand on Qiao Xiu's shoulder.

At this time, the music starts at the right time, and Ciri guides Johew to start another show of Beauty and the Devil on the dance floor.

It's another one, but Ciri doesn't know if her fate will be as rosy as Belle's...

Probably can, right? Ciri lowered his head and looked at Qiao Xiu secretly, but before he could jump a few steps, Ciri's dream was completely shattered by Qiao Xiu.

"You've stepped on my foot!"

Reality is not as perfect as in the movie, and Qiao Xiu, a newcomer to ballroom dancing, mercilessly destroys the romantic scene that Ciri has built in his heart.

"Sorry......" Qiao Xiu's apology had no effect at all.

"Stepping on it again, did you mean it!"

"Can you give the newcomer a little tolerance?"

When Qiao Xiu held Ciri's hand, Qiao Xiu found that Ciri's hands had a lot of scars, even on his arms, even if Ciri deliberately covered it up, but in this kind of close range, Qiao Xiu could still see scars that were completely different from her fair skin.

These are not the hands that a girl should have.
