Chapter 54: The Glass Slipper
The bells of midnight ...... Runaway girl...... Li Chao felt a flash of inspiration, but when he thought about it carefully, he found that he had forgotten the flash of inspiration just now, the more he thought about it, the more irritable he felt, he could feel that this was a very important thing, but he couldn't catch the fleeting aura.
"What the hell is going on?" He was thinking, and the others stopped talking, tacitly not to disturb Li Chao, and a rare quiet place appeared in the lively castle.
It was at this moment that the silence was interrupted by a voice, "Your Majesty." ”
A guard came over with a crystal slipper, "A princess left in a hurry just now, and left a glass slipper when she left, I don't know if it's ......." ”
The guard stopped, for he found his majesty in front of him staring at the glass slipper in his hand, his eyes red.
"Glass slipper...... The bells of midnight ...... Girl leaving in embarrassment...... This is Cinderella. Li Chao finally knew why he felt so familiar.
Can he not be familiar with the well-known fairy tale "Cinderella"? But why is Cinderella here? Isn't this the world of Original Fairy Tales: Sleeping Beauty?
A series of questions surfaced in his heart, and Li Chao took out the book of Ciric without much thought, "The book of Ciric, why is there Cinderella in the world of "Original Fairy Tale: Sleeping Beauty". ”
"It shouldn't be ......."
The Book of Ciric trembled silently, and the situation that was out of his grasp was born, "I don't know why. ”
"You don't know?"
Li Chao glanced at the Book of Ciric unexpectedly, he had the impression that the Book of Shirek was almost an omniscient and omnipotent existence, as if there was nothing it didn't know, and there was nothing it couldn't do, but this time, he knew that the Book of Ciric was not an omniscient and omnipotent existence, and it also had flaws.
"Is it possible that the world is merging?"
"Impossible." The Book of Ciric asserts that "the world is not a dye, it is solid and indestructible, and the result of the collision of two worlds is not fusion, but destruction." ”
"But what about the new life after destruction?"
Li Chao said softly: "The beginning of the plot is the beginning of the world, and the end of the plot is the time of the destruction of the world. ”
"Then why can't it be that two worlds collide to usher in the Great Destruction and the new life after the Great Destruction?"
“……。”
The Book of Ciric is silent.
Li Chao waited for a few minutes without waiting for the answer from the Book of Ciric, knowing that it would not answer him, he gathered his mind, beckoned, took the glass slipper from the guard's hand, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then asked with a smile: "Is this the glass slipper left by the princess just now?" ”
"Yes."
The guard replied respectfully.
"Did the princess say who she was?"
"Nope."
The smile on Li Chao's face became even stronger, "Then you go to the street and post an announcement saying that I am looking for a beautiful princess, as for what characteristics of that beautiful princess ......." ”
Li Chao lifted the glass slipper and shook it in front of the guards, "Let's just say that whoever can wear this glass slipper is a beautiful princess, and she will be treated by me." ”
Wear this glass slipper?
The guards were stunned, what kind of characteristic is this? There are so many people on the street, there must be many people who can wear this glass slipper, are they all princesses?
"Didn't you notice?" Li Chao saw the guard's doubts and explained, "These shoes are very small, ordinary girls don't have such small feet, and they are all nobles who come here, and the range of shoes worn has narrowed." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The next morning, the guards took the glass slipper out into the street and announced that whoever could wear it would be His Majesty's guest of honour.
Not long after this sentence came out, the nobles were all boiling, and just now there was a new ruler, and everyone was panicking, afraid that His Majesty the King would liquidate them, and now such a good opportunity suddenly appeared--as long as you put on your shoes, you will be the guest of your Majesty's seat.
Suddenly, the wives and daughters of the nobles came out and tried one by one whether they could wear this glass slipper, but unfortunately, none of them could wear this glass slipper.
Seeing this, the guards hurriedly went back and reported to Li Chao.
Li Chao had long known whose shoe it belonged to, and he also knew that the guards would return in vain, so he simply took the guards to Cinderella's house in person.
"I heard that the daughters of your Senderella family are all small-footed? Try it out! Li Chao left the glass slippers on the ground and said lightly: "All the daughters will try." ”
"I'll come first." Cinderella's eldest sister volunteered, and was about to stretch out her foot to try, but Cinderella's stepmother immediately stopped her eldest daughter's words, "We're going to your room for an interview." ”
"But ......."
"No, but." Cinderella's stepmother pushed her eldest daughter into the room, then closed the door and scolded viciously, "Are you an idiot? How to wear this glass slipper in front of His Majesty the King? If only your feet were right, but if your feet weren't, wouldn't we have wasted this opportunity that God has given us? ”
"What then?"
"You try it first."
"Oh." Cinderella's eldest sister hurriedly dragged down her shoes and stretched out her feet to squeeze into the glass slipper, but no matter how much she squeezed, she couldn't squeeze in because her feet were too big.
Seeing this situation, Senderella's eldest sister immediately panicked, "I can't wear it...... What am I going to do? ”
Cinderella's stepmother looked at her carefully for a moment, closed her eyes, and relented, "You can't wear your toes, you just cut off your toes." ”
"What." Senderella's eldest sister cried out.
"Shh
Cinderella's stepmother hurriedly covered her eldest daughter's mouth and said, "Shut up and don't let His Majesty hear." ”
After waiting for a while, Cinderella's stepmother let go of her eldest daughter's mouth and explained, "As long as you become His Majesty's guest, you can become the queen of His Majesty, and then you will be able to ride in the car every day without having to leave by yourself, what does it matter if you have toes or not at that time?" ”
"But ......."
"Don't be, think about it, if you don't pay, where will you get in return." Cinderella's stepmother said fiercely: "As long as you become queen, everyone will look up to you, and no one will say that you are the daughter of an upstart, and no one will say that you are poorly educated and ugly, and when the time comes, they will only say that you are beautiful, intelligent, and noble." ”
When Senderella's eldest sister heard this, she immediately made up her mind, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll cut it." ”
