The footsteps were still uninterrupted, maintaining their original rhythm. I was so frightened that I leaned against the wall behind me, pricking up my ears to listen to the sound of footsteps, but I could only hear that the person making the sound was getting closer and closer to me.

I hadn't seen who it was, I had heard just a voice, but I was so sure that the person who had come wasn't Wolffang or anyone else I knew, but a stranger!

After all, not to mention how the ones I know found the secret room, even if they did, their footsteps shouldn't be in this rhythm. This regular and rhythmic footsteps are enough to show that the person who came is very stable in his heart, not panicked at all, this is not a strange environment for him, such a person cannot be someone I know, it can only be the person who lives in this castle, the earthling in this fairy tale.

I tried to stand up straight against the wall, trying to reduce the amount of space I occupied. Because I can't walk normally and can only jump on one leg, I can't move without making a sound. Therefore, I could only try to stand still, not making any sound, and praying in my heart not to be discovered.

The sound of footsteps slowly increased from a small sound, clearly showing that the person was getting closer and closer to me, I couldn't help but shiver a little, leaning against the wall and feeling the coldness of the wall, my mouth secreted more saliva than ever before because of fear, every nerve tensed, even breathing and swallowing saliva were careful to make even a slight sound.

As I got closer, I couldn't help but tremble as I tried to suppress it. The footsteps came from far and near, and in the darkness the vision was closed, and the only auditory sense of recognition even made me feel that the next second the person would come to me.

The heart is beating more and more intensely, and I can control the breathing that becomes rapid, but there is nothing I can do about the heart, I don't know if it is due to the solid sound transmission, my heartbeat is heard very clearly and loudly in my ears, so frightened that I can only raise a hand to cover my chest, hoping to hide the sound of my heartbeat.

Fortunately, the man didn't seem to notice me, and the footsteps didn't keep coming to me, but just passed not far in front of me, and gradually faded away. I breathed a sigh of relief, but I still didn't dare to relax, although I don't know why the person didn't bring a light, but it was because there was no light that I was able to hide under his nose without being detected. I don't know what he's doing here, but I just want him to leave quickly!

I don't know if the heavens heard my call, and the footsteps disappeared after a pause. However, the disappearance of the footsteps did not make me feel happy, but a burst of horror - if the person left, then the footsteps should be farther and farther away, smaller and smaller, but this abrupt footsteps can only mean that he has stopped moving!

Why did you stop moving? Is it because you found out about my existence? Or is it because he's doing something? What could he do in such a dark place where he couldn't see his fingers!?

However, I soon got the answer, because all of a sudden, in an instant, the whole chamber was filled with light. It was a pale, very bright light, which at once spread all over the chamber, illuminating every corner, leaving me completely exposed to the light.

Because I have been in the dark for a long time, my eyes have naturally adapted to the dark environment, this light came suddenly, and suddenly my eyes were suddenly stung by the light, and I subconsciously raised my hand to cover my eyes, squinting and unable to open, leaving only a gap to contact and adapt to the light.

"Yo Yo Yo where did this lost kitten come from?"

My eyes hadn't yet adjusted, and I hadn't seen what was going on in front of me, but hearing this voice made me feel very familiar, and after a little thought, I remembered who this voice came from: "You are His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"Of course it's me, what, does the beautiful lady want to dance with me here?"

I heard footsteps approaching me, and I slowly opened my eyes to the ground in front of me under the cover of my palms, and with the sound of footsteps appeared a pair of white boots trimmed with gold edges, and I had a slight impression that they were the prince's boots.

I sighed in my heart that it was not good, this situation doesn't look like a good situation, does it? I had suspected that the prince was the special character of this fairy tale, but I didn't want to get close to him, let alone be alone!

Although I couldn't see the prince's face clearly because my palms were blocking my eyes, I could clearly see that he was reaching for me. I was so wary of him that I immediately wanted to retreat, but I forgot that there was a wall behind me, and I couldn't retreat at all. In addition, I also injured a leg, and almost without any accident, I lost my balance and fell to the ground.

The palm of my hand was subconsciously removed from my eyes because of the fall, and the harsh light shot into my eyes, and I couldn't get used to such a strong light for a while, my eyes were sore and itchy, and tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of my eyes, and I could only force my half-squinted eyes, observing the prince's movements, guarding against what he might do to me.

"What's wrong with your left foot?"

However, the prince did not make any other move, but looked down at me and asked, and I could hear a little irritation and reproach in his words, and fearing that it would provoke him, I had to reply to him, "I just fell into this secret chamber and sprained." ”

"Sprain?"

By this time, my eyes had almost adjusted to the light, and I didn't have time to care about the tears in my eyes, and I tried to keep my eyes open and observe the current situation. The prince was frowning and looking annoyed, and I gave a perfunctory "um" and secretly observed the entire chamber.

This is indeed a very large chamber, and the other three walls are normal vertical walls, except for the slope I fell on earlier. In the middle of the chamber, on the ceiling, hung a huge crystal chandelier, and it was that lamp that was shining. I looked at the lamp a little and made sure that its light did not come from a candle or a flame similar to an oil lamp, but a light that was more similar to sunlight and artificial light. It's just that there should be no electricity here, right, where did the light come from?

"Curious where that light came from?" As if sensing my gaze, the prince spoke. His voice was somewhat gloomy and mocking, as well as undisguised disdain and contempt, which made people sound very uncomfortable.

"That's the magic inherited by our royal family, and only with the blood of the royal family can this lamp shine, I think an alien civilian like you has never seen such a light, right? Even if you are lucky today, after all, you are such a lowly illness that you do not deserve to be illuminated by such light! ”

God has never seen it, flashlight, incandescent lamp, energy-saving lamp, which is not such a light? Even if you say it's some kind of magic light, I've seen the green light on the witch's body before, what does that mean?

The unfortunate prince seemed to be immersed in his own world, and did not look at me again, but turned around and walked into the distance, I didn't see it clearly because he was too tightly blocked before, and now I found that in the center of the secret room, which is also directly below the crystal lamp, there is a huge platform, on which there seems to be a symbol drawn, and something is placed. It looks like a booth, but from another point of view, it looks like an altar

In my eyes, the prince on the other side is like a psychopath, like a pervert, although I don't know what he wants to do, but from my current feelings, it is definitely not a good thing. With that in mind, I continued to look left and right, trying to find the door or some other passage or something, where did this perverted prince come from? I looked around and didn't find any doors.

Don't... Is it out of sight? Thinking of this possibility, I looked around left and right, and the only blind spot in my vision should be the wall I was leaning on... With this in mind, I leaned forward slightly, no longer leaning against the wall, and sure enough, I saw what appeared to be a door at the end of the other end of the wall.

"You're trying to escape?"

The prince's voice suddenly sounded, and my heart skipped a beat, and I hurriedly turned around and pretended that nothing had happened, "Huh? What do you say? I didn't hear you. ”

"Heh," the prince sneered, "it's useless, that door also has magic, and it can only be opened with the blood of the royal ruler or the ruler's heir, which means that you need the blood of the king or the prince, you can't open the door." ”

The blood of a king or a prince? It's not impossible... Isn't the ready-made prince right in front of me......

I had a plan in my heart, but I didn't show anything on my face, just looked at him quietly and didn't say a word.

The prince seemed to take something from the altar and walked down the altar towards me. I looked at it and realized that he was holding something that I was familiar with - the crystal slipper.

It is a really beautiful shoe, the whole body is transparent, with the unique transparent and shining characteristics of the crystal, the upper is inlaid with a full of small gems, those gems are also crystal clear, not at all to destroy the texture of the crystal, but to complement each other, the most eye-catching is a ruby on the upper, the gem is really red pure, red so charming, it seems that just looking at the red, I feel that I have been deeply tempted.

It's just that... My heart is full of ominous premonitions, this crystal slipper may not be a good thing for me......

"Isn't it pretty? This shoe? The prince seemed to like my expression, and approached me with the crystal slipper in one hand and asked, "Isn't this ruby on top of it particularly beautiful?" ”

I hesitated, but did not answer, and the ominous premonition grew heavier.

"You think it's beautiful, don't you? It's made of the girl's blood......"
