I didn't expect the real story to be like this, for those speculations about the paintings, I should say that my guess was right, but I only guessed the second half correctly, and the crystal slipper originally represented the quality of honesty, kindness, courage and strength.

"So if I'm right, your brother refused to sacrifice you, right?" I asked.

"Yes, that's right, my brother refused." The woman nodded, there seemed to be tears in her eyes, with remembrance and nostalgia, "The reason why my father wants to sacrifice me is because I am a stain on him, and secondly, it is also a kind of protection for my brother. As I said before, in our country, both men and women have the same inheritance rights, and if my brother dies, then I am the legal heir, so this is also the reason why my father wants to get rid of me. But the elder brother is completely upright and good, a truly competent elder brother and a beloved monarch. Like our ancestors, he believed that the right way to govern the country should be through the right way, not by the power of the crystal slipper. ”

"So my brother sealed the previous history and prepared to re-implement the admonitions of our royal family, but I don't think my brother would have thought that his son would be addicted to the power of the crystal slipper because he inadvertently saw the records of the previous history, and even thought that his father was a coward, and did not hesitate to kill his father and mother to seize the throne!"

The woman said, her tearful eyes glaring at the prince who was clutched by the wolf's fangs, her eyes full of anger and sadness, "I have been looking for an opportunity to overthrow him, but the crystal slipper is in his hand, and I don't know the location of the secret room, so I have been lurking as a servant until I met you today." Please help me! My brother wants us to follow the precept of the eight characters to be an upright country, and I can't let him ruin this country! ”

"So, in fact you took advantage of us, didn't you?" 、

Wolf Fang replied coldly, and I glanced at him, his eyes squinting slightly, and no other expression. I hesitated for a moment but did not speak, and though I was willing to help the woman, I was not sure if she was telling the truth. I think the wolffang has a plan of his own, and although I don't know if I can trust the woman, I know that I can trust the wolffang.

"Yes, I'm sorry that I did take advantage of you."

The woman bowed to us as she spoke, and although I don't know what medieval etiquette was like, she did so with grace that I thought it should be standard etiquette.

Standard etiquette, I think the servant woman does not belong to the aristocracy, should not receive such etiquette education, this may prove from the side that she is true?

Wolffang spoke again, and my instinct told me that he should believe the old woman's "Give us a reason to believe you." ”

"I'm sorry, I can't find anything to prove that I'm telling the truth, other than my blood can also activate magic, but I have another way to make you believe me." The old woman bowed her head slightly in apology and said, her voice was calm and firm, and I think I would like to believe that she was telling the truth.

So, I was the first to ask, "What's the solution?" Let's hear it. ”

Wolf Fang just looked at me, but didn't say anything, and seemed to acquiesce to what I did.

"I don't know if you know that we natives can't pass through the Wall of Thorns, and the crystal slipper is the key to unlocking the Wall of Thorns."

That's right, I've heard the magic mirror talk about it before, and I nodded secretly in my heart, watching the woman wait for her to continue.

The woman took a deep breath and seemed to have made up her mind, "All along, the people of this country only know the very beginning of the history of the crystal slipper, and they don't know anything about the fall of the royal family, and those girls who disappeared are specially selected, without relatives and without cause, and will not cause riots. And now I'm ready to tell everyone the truth about the Crystal Slipper, and I know that it's almost unforgivable for the royal family to commit such a mistake, but if they can forgive the royal family, I want to reclaim our admonition and build the country that my brother wants! ”

"That's a great idea, but what does it have to do with us?" Wolf Fang looked at the old woman and said lightly, while kicking the prince who was struggling in front of him.

It seems that he did not expect the woman to make all these things public, so the prince was also terrified, and he had already settled down, but now he began to struggle again.

But think about the woman who reminded us to use the power of the people, she really wants to tell the truth and restore the country's original honest, kind, brave and strong faith, right?

"The crystal slipper is in your hands, it is the protector of this country, it has an extraordinary meaning for this country, and it cannot be lost. And don't you have royal blood? You can also activate the power of the Crystal Slipper, it has just absorbed all the life force of a girl, and its magic is now enough to control everyone here, so you don't have to worry about anyone doing you badly. As long as you have it, you can walk safely through the wall of thorns. The woman said, bowing earnestly to us, bending down without immediately rising, and said, "I can teach you how to use the crystal slipper, but I beg you, whether I can be forgiven or not, and whoever the last ruler of this country is, please leave it to this country after you have passed through the wall of thorns." ”

Wolf Fang was silent for a while, then spoke, "We promise you. ”

"Thank you." The old woman got up when she heard the wolf's words, looked at him and said, "There are two conditions to activate the magic of the crystal slipper, the first is the blood of the royal heir, as long as you hold the crystal slipper, let the sole of the crystal slipper touch with your palm." And the second one is the need to recite the mantra in your heart."

"Enchantments? What spell? "I thought that as long as there was blood, I could drive the crystal slipper, but I really didn't expect that there would be a spell.

The old woman sighed again, her voice a little low and sad, "The spell is what I have always said, our admonition is honest, kind, brave and strong. ”

"Is this the spell of the Crystal Slipper?" I exclaimed in disbelief, "When this pervert took the crystal slipper to harm people, he silently thought of kindness in his heart? ”

"I'm sorry." The old woman bowed slightly, "But it is true"

How ironic is that? Those who harm others are still meditating on kindness when they are harming others.

I lowered my eyes slightly and looked at the crystal slipper in my hand, it was beautiful, beautiful, whether it was the lines, the material or the brilliant light. Originally, the things it represents are also very beautiful, but they have become ugly and dirty driven by **.

"Don't leave." I heard the cries of wolf fangs and looked up at him, who was looking back slightly to me and said, "See if you can activate the magic on there." ”

I said yes, and in the posture of the prince just now, I dragged the sole of the crystal slipper with my palm to hold it. The moment I held it, my palm ached slightly, and through the transparent body of the crystal slipper, I saw a familiar blood spot appear in my palm, and then the ruby on the crystal slipper emitted a faint red light. At the same time, I felt in my heart that I seemed to be able to control the ** of everyone here, and I could use ** to make them fall into their dreams.

I let go of the hand holding the crystal slipper, and let the sole of the shoe separate from my palm, silently reciting the mantra of honesty, kindness, courage and strength in my heart, and a strange feeling rose in my heart, which made me frown slightly.

I don't know how to describe it, but I can say that I kind of understand why the royal family is obsessed with the power of the crystal slipper. Controlling everyone and subordinating everyone to their power is a great temptation in itself, isn't it? I think every monarch wants to be able to consolidate his rule, to be able to expand his power, to be able to control everyone, to make everyone subordinate to him.

And the crystal slipper can satisfy all their thirst for power.

Ah, people can become stronger because of **, and they are born because of**. You can also lose yourself because of ** and die because of **.

Life, life and death, sometimes in the spur of a person's mind.

"She didn't lie to us, I could feel it, I could control the magic of the crystal slipper." I spoke to the wolf's fangs, confirming the woman's words.

"Okay." After answering me, the wolf fang turned back to look at the woman, "I can grant your request, so what will this prince do?" ”

"Thank you." The woman bowed again, got up, and looked at the prince, "If he let him face his subjects, I don't think he would have survived, so let him die in a dream, so at least it won't be painful." After all, he is the son of his brother, so this is the only mercy I have left for him. ”

After the woman finished speaking, she looked in my direction, and Wolf Fang also looked at me with her, but Wolf Fang frowned slightly, and his expression was a little strange.

I was stunned for a moment before I realized what that meant, that it must have been me who had let the prince die in a dream, and that had done the magic. Although it is said that he died in a dream, it is also death after all! Does that mean, I'm going to kill someone?

"Will you die just by immersing yourself in dreams?" I asked after a moment of silence.

"Yes, if there were no other external forces, he would have died in one day." The woman replied in a deep voice, "Let him stay here after casting his magic, and in a day he will die in his dreams."

I pursed my lips to understand the meaning of the strange expression of the wolf fang, and probably he also thought that I couldn't kill someone. Even if it's just a perverted earthling.
