Verse 184: Princesses, Demons, and Knights
In a room filled with the smell of potions, a seriously ill lady lay weakly on the bed.
The door opened softly, and a father and daughter came to the hospital bed.
The father sighed with a sad face, and said to his daughter, "Zidi, say the last words to your mother......
Childhood Purple called softly: "Mommy." ”
Mrs. barely opened her eyes, and when she saw Zidi, she immediately showed a strong look of love, reluctance, and guilt: "My daughter ......"
Childhood Zidi said puzzledly: "Mom, Dad said you have to go to another place. Can you not go?"
Mrs. smiled, but her eyes quickly reddened: "No, my mother also wants to stay with you for the rest of my life." But mom can't, sorry ......"
Childhood Zidi bowed her head and sobbed.
The father behind her was also immersed in grief and remained silent.
Madame was extremely distressed, she tried her best, reluctantly grabbed Zidi's little hand, and comforted: "Little Zidi, don't cry, be obedient." Before leaving, Mom will tell you your favorite story. ”
Childhood Zidi raised her head, tears still in her big eyes, but her attention was obviously taken away: "Is it to tell the story of the princess, the demon and the knight?"
"Yes. ”
"I ...... I love to listen to it. Childhood Zidi choked up and nodded.
Once upon a time, there was a kingdom. The king was kind and loving to his people, and he loved the queen very much, but when they were married for a long time, they had an heir.
She is a little princess, and the little princess is not only innocent, lively and cute, but also the most beautiful person in the kingdom.
Whether it is the king, the queen, or the whole kingdom, they love this little princess very much and treat her as an angel.
One day, a very bad demon sneaked into the castle and forcibly took the little princess away.
The demon took the little princess to his lair in the abyss and wouldn't let her leave.
The demon was very fond of the little princess, and he said to the little princess in a wicked voice, "Marry me, little princess, you are the loveliest person I have ever met." ”
The little princess shook her head: "I don't want to marry you, you bad devil." My father and mother will send knights to save me. ”
The demon laughed, "My lair is very deep in the abyss, and no one knows where it is. How could a knight find it?"
The little princess grew up.
The demon bared his teeth at the princess and said, "Princess, princess, you are the most youthful and lovely girl I have ever seen. Marry me! After all these years, your knight still can't find this place. ”
But the princess did not doubt, but was more determined than before: "There will definitely be a knight who will find here, and I will never marry you." ”
The princess grew older and became a princess.
The demon became even more fascinated by the Celestial Princess: "O Celestial Princess, you are the most charming and seductive person I have ever met, your skin is smoother than snow, your face is more beautiful than a goddess, your eyes are brighter than the stars of the night, and your golden hair is long and soft, like silk woven by the sun. Marry me!"
"My knight will come to my rescue!" Princess Celestia was still very determined.
The demon sneered, "You can't wait, you've been waiting for so many years. Wait any longer, and the god of time will take away your youth, fade your radiance, and stick wrinkles and old age on you. Instead of that, you might as well marry me now. ”
The eldest princess thought for a moment and deliberately said to the demon: "I'll think about it, if I'm in a good mood, I'll promise you." ”
The demon was pleased: "Then how can I make you happy?"
Princess Celestia said, "Oh, that's right, your lair is dark and stuffy. I haven't seen the night sky for so many years. If I see the vast sky and blow the cool evening breeze, my mood will naturally be cheerful. ”
The demon thought for a moment, and then promised Celestia, "This is easy to do, I'll open the top of the abyss, and you can see the night sky." ”
So the demon opened the lid, and as soon as Princess Celestia looked up, she saw the night sky and saw many stars.
She suddenly tore off the headband, and her long, bright blonde hair like a waterfall spread out.
The long hair radiated a golden sun, which shone into the night sky and obscured the brilliance of the stars.
A handsome young knight, brave and fearless, seeing the golden sun, broke into the abyss and found the demon and the eldest princess.
"Let go of the princess, you despicable demon!" the knight shouted, and a fierce battle ensued with the demon.
The knight is very powerful, and the demon is no match for him.
But the demon was very cunning, and with a single finger he stretched out his hand, he transformed the princess into his likeness.
Now the two demons were standing in front of the knight, and the two demons smirked at the same time, "Knight, put down your spear." You can't tell who's real and who's fake. In case you make the wrong choice and kill the real princess, that's bad. ”
The knight hesitated, but quickly made a decision.
He drew his sword and struck the real demon in one fell swoop.
The demon was battered and roared in disbelief, "How do you know I'm real?"
"Because you have a strong smell of sulfur on your body, but the real princess, though you have turned into a demon on the outside, has a touching fragrance. The knight replied.
So, the demon was thus eliminated by the knight.
As soon as the demon died, his dark magic vanished, and the princess returned to her original form.
The young knight left the abyss of sin with the princess and returned to the castle, where he met the king and queen. The family is finally reunited.
The princess married a knight and lived a good and happy life ever since.
When Madame finished telling the story, she grew weaker and weaker.
She tried her best to support herself and not let herself fall asleep.
With her last strength, she grabbed Zidi's little hand and instructed: "My little Zidi, my little princess, although your mother is leaving, you will still get your father's love." ”
"No matter what kind of difficulties you face in the future, keep hope in your heart. ”
"You have to be optimistic, you have to be strong. ”
"As long as you persevere, there will definitely be a knight, your knight, who will come to help you and save you!"
After the lady finished speaking, she finally lost her strength and slowly closed her eyes.
The breath of life slowly dissipated.
This is a mother's blessing to her daughter, and her last words.
The young and ignorant Zidi has not yet understood the heavy meaning of the scene in front of her, but her mother's dying words are deeply engraved in Zidi's heart.
"Well, don't bother your mother. She slept. Behind him, his father's choked voice was heard.
"Oh. Zidi nodded obediently and followed her father's footsteps to the door gently.
"Dad, can I send my mother when she leaves?" Zidi looked back at the hospital bed, extremely reluctant.
The father gritted his teeth and closed the door with a trembling hand: "I think it should be possible...... As long as you don't stay in bed, you can get up early. ”
......
Time passed, and the childhood Zidi gradually grew into a little girl.
Inheriting the characteristics of her parents, like a princess in a fairy tale, she became young and lovely.
His father never married again, he founded the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce, and his affairs became more and more onerous, and he was very fond of Zidi. Maybe it's because he has too little time to accompany Zidi to grow up, and this favor is mixed with a lot of guilt.
Her beautiful face makes Zidi pay attention and welcome wherever she goes.
In the academy, the girl Zidi has been pursued by many teenagers. Soon, a noble girl from a prominent family defeated all her suitors and successfully stood out.
He was handsome, dashing, golden, and gentle and considerate. Under his enthusiastic and diverse pursuit methods, the girl Zidi gradually became excited.
"Perhaps, he is my knight. ”
However, one day, at a dinner party, Zidi, who was standing on the balcony to breathe the wind, unexpectedly overheard the conversation between the aristocratic teenagers.
"Hahaha, I'm about to take Zidi down!"
"The bet between us is going to be that I win. She seems to be difficult to chase, but in fact, she just really thinks that she is a princess, so she is domineering and arrogant. ”
"Hehehe, it's ridiculous! She's just a merchant's daughter, and no matter how big the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce is, her bloodline is extremely lowly. ”
"Princess, a little girl of this age likes to dream like this! She must fantasize about marrying me, how can I marry a merchant's daughter in such an identity? It's just a joke! Enough of her, which of you takes over, I'm free. ”
On the balcony, Zidi stood against the wall, her face pale, her hands clenched to her mouth, tears streaming from her eyes.
......
The breakdown of love caused Zidi's heart to suffer a heavy blow, and she once felt that her world was full of misfortune.
After this incident, she was extremely wary of all her suitors, and she was never easily tempted again.
A busy father can't get into the sensitive heart of a young girl. Countless worries and thoughts, she can only tell herself.
First, the princess's dream was shattered, and then the burden of her studies gradually increased, making her realize a cruel reality - her bloodline was inferior, even if there was a chamber of commerce to provide enough cultivation resources, even if she worked extremely hard, the highest achievement in her life could only be the black iron level.
My father's business grew bigger and bigger, and the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce continued to expand. He gradually felt powerless, the smile on his face became less and less, and his face was sad almost every day after that.
Many late nights, Zidi found that the light was still on in her father's study.
Zidi would knock on the door and enter the study to remind her father to go to bed early.
The president of the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce often smoked a cigar, and his increasingly fat body shrunk into a wide leather seat, and under the thick smoke, it actually gave Zidi the illusion of huddle and fear.
When he sees Purple Tin, he lifts his head, squeezes a smile out of his face, and quickly snuffs out the cigar in his hand.
Without waiting for Zidi to roll his eyes, he took the initiative to nod and admit his mistake with a hint of flattery: "My good daughter, don't say anything, I understand, I'll sleep!"
