Chapter 2 Fruits are poisonous

Chephni is the youngest and most beautiful witch in the kingdom of Orsay, her skin is as white as cream, her eyes are shining like jewels, and her voice is as beautiful as a lark.

In this world of magic, Chephne is revered, she is the embodiment of holiness, a symbol of beauty, and the people of the city regard her beauty as the pride of their country.

The king showed her deep affection, and waited by her window every day in a chariot alone. Chephni was finally impressed by his day-to-day sincerity, and stepped into his carriage in a snowy twilight.

On this day, the whole country rejoiced and sang "Van Tesstane" loudly to celebrate the wedding of the King and Chephany.

A year later, Chephni gave birth to two girls, both of whom were fair-skinned and beautiful like their mothers. The king was so pleased that he named his eldest daughter Mary and his second daughter Debbie, and everything was so beautiful.

But Chephany died in the winter of that year, and before she died, she told the king not to let her two daughters become magical.

The king was so grieved that he never remarried in memory of his wife, and on the eighteenth birthday of his two daughters, he sent invitations inviting the princes of all nations to come to Orsay and choose a husband for them personally.

Princes from all over the world had heard that King Orsay had two very beautiful daughters, and they had come with their retinues to the palace to see them.

The king sat on the throne and asked three questions to the dozens of princes in the audience, and in the end only one young man named Luke passed all the tests.

Luke claims to be the smartest man in the world, and Mary and Debbie fall in love with this brave and confident handsome young man at the same time. The king was also very pleased with Luke, allowing him to choose between his two precious daughters.

Luke saw that both girls were equally tall and beautiful. Seeing Debbie clutching the corners of her clothes, he liked her shyness at a glance, so he walked up to Debbie, knelt on one knee, and begged Debbie to accept his love.

In the evening, the two wandered along the lakeside path. On the shores of the sparkling lake, Luke, with a smile on his face, puts a sapphire ring on Debbie, telling her that it is called the "Heart of the Ocean", which will guide the light with love, dispel the darkness, and never take it off.

Debbie blushed and nodded in agreement, smiling like the morning glow of the Kiphysus River, delicate and sweet, dazzling.

At that time, Orsey also had a notorious dark wizard named Shaliye, a dark name. It was a shriveled old woman with a pointed nose, piercing eyes, and black and yellow teeth.

That evening, at the instigation of her maid Blanche, Mary found the dark wizard named Shalier, both angry and frightened.

When Shalier learns of Mary's request, she agrees to help Mary retrieve Luke from Debbie, but at a cost, which is youth.

Then Shaliye cast a spell on a large, orange, flower-scented fruit on the table, which shimmered in the dim light under the constant urging of Shaliye's spell.

Charier eventually made a pact with Mary to repay Debbie's magic if it disappeared. At the same time, he also told her that witches could not marry ordinary people, otherwise they would die.

Mary returned to the castle with the fruit in her hand, and went to Debbie's room, where she saw her sister with a happy smile on her face, so simple and lovely.

Mary was immediately carried away by jealousy, and put the "Devil Fruit" in her hand on the table in front of Debbie with a blank face. Debbie snorted softly, she had never seen such a strange fruit, and sat gracefully at the table with the corners of her skirt pinched, smiling and thanking her sister Mary, revealing two shallow dimples.

The unsuspecting Debbie sniffed deeply at the fruity scent, and before she could open her eyes, she quietly fell on the table.

The next day was a good day for Luke to marry Debbie. Early that morning, when Debbie woke up from a sweet dream, she was about to rub her eyes, when she was horrified to find that her arms were as rough as tree bark and her skin as dark as the earth.

Trembling, she took the mirror and looked at her face......

Debbie didn't dare to meet Luke, the most handsome person in the world, and she couldn't bear to make Luke sad because of her kindness, so she had to beg her sister Mary to marry instead. But she insisted on going, just to see the prince in her heart for the last time.

Mary, of course, happily agreed, and happily covered the scarf that should have belonged to Debbie.

On that day, Luke himself drove a carriage, led by his attendants, to the palace on a white horse, and skillfully prepared to welcome his bride.

Looking at Luke, who was still so sunny with a smile on his face, Debbie's nose was sore, and she didn't dare to look up.

Luke walked up to Mary and was about to take her hand, but the ring was missing. He looked around curiously, and at the end of the line, he saw an old woman trembling all over.

She was bowing her head and clutching the corner of her clothes, wearing the "Heart of the Ocean" that she had brought for her by the lake that night, and the sapphire was shining brightly on her dry fingers.

Luke passed by the "fake bride" Mary, walked up to Debbie, smiled and took her hand, and said, "Doesn't the smartest person in the world recognize my bride?"

I saw that all the wrinkles on Debbie's face disappeared, and the skin instantly regained the elasticity of the girl, and changed back to its previous beauty, while Mary's skin under the scarf shrank rapidly, becoming an old woman.

Mary looked at her withered ten fingers in a panic, did not dare to see anyone, and hurriedly hid in the crowd with her head down.

Luke turned to the king and took Debbie's hand and stepped into his carriage. The people around cheered and sang the song "Van Tesstante" that the king had married Chephne, and this "Van Tesstante" has become synonymous with the best in the world by word of mouth. (Fantastic)

(I made up a kind of "devil fruit", orange yellow, floral, probably similar to pandanus...... Who knows, Suriel Shaliye, the Angel of the Moon, one of the "Seven Lords of Hell", is said to have an evil eye, and the actions of creatures who are glared at by the evil eye will be blocked. In fact, this article is not called "Fruit Poison", but "Kiss of true love")
