The small wooden house in the woods is quite spacious, but the appearance is extremely simple.

"Don't tell me, this is the real palace you are talking about?" Wang Ye tilted his head in sweat, although he also knew that everything should not be disguised, but this wooden house was too simple, and there were no anti-theft measures, I am afraid that the treasures placed here would have been plundered by thieves a long time ago, right?

"That's right, this is it. The queen turned around and smiled, "I know what the gentleman is worried about, you are worried that this wooden house is not well defended, and there are no valuable treasures in it, right?"

Wang Ye did not deny it.

"In this world, it doesn't make much sense to lock the door or something, no matter how heavily guarded the palace is, it can be stolen by thieves, and only magic is the most powerful bulwark. The queen pushed her hand forward.

Suddenly, a door opened in the air in front of her.

"Huh?" Wang Ye was stunned.

Through the crack in the door, you can see that you can see another space, and the scene in front of you is more like an illusory setting than that space.

"I see. He shook his head with a wry smile and strode into the door as the queen strode in.

As soon as I stepped in, the surrounding scene suddenly fused, and all the woods and cabins disappeared without a trace, replaced by a black castle located in the barren and gloomy land, and the sky was an endless red-black, with a flash of bright red lightning from time to time.

The desolate and dark land was devoid of vegetation, except for a few scattered dead trees, and many crows scattered on the castle and dead wood, their eyes shining with scarlet light.

Everything became cold and strange in an instant, and it was a world away from the windy and sunny woods outside.

"Welcome to my castle. The queen stood before the great castle.

"Click!" a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, casting a blood-red glow on her face.

Wang Ye only felt that this place was eerie, and he didn't know what to respond to for a while.

"Come in and sit. With a wave of her sleeves, the castle's ancient gate creaked open, revealing the black hole inside.

Wang Ye's throat rolled, and he suddenly regretted that he had come to such a place with this woman so happily by himself.

But it's all here......

With a heartbeat, he followed the queen all the way into the dark castle.

The corridors of the castle were darker than they looked from the outside, and the candle lamps suspended on the walls had fallen a lot of dust, and the castle was full of cobwebs and smelled of mold.

The queen pinched a fire in her palm and walked forward without saying a word with Wang Ye all the way.

All the way to the door of an empty room on the third floor of the castle, the wooden door looked very old, as if it was old.

The queen suddenly stood still at the door, looking thoughtfully at the door.

"This is where the treasures are placed?" Wang Ye couldn't help but ask.

The queen did not answer, but suddenly said, "Have you heard of the legend about the Sleeping Beauty that has been passed down in this land?"

Sleeping Beauty!?

Wang Ye was stunned by the queen's question, he didn't know the history of this world, but he knew the fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty.

"Once upon a time, there was a little kingdom named Anrenus, and the queen gave birth to a little princess, and she was so lovely that all the magical fairies came to bless her, but at her full moon feast, an uninvited witch in black came, and she dropped a curse - 'She will be killed by a spindle when she is 20 years old.' Then he turned and left. ”

The queen spoke to herself with her back to the king.

Wang Ye heard the beginning of this story, which is the beginning of the story of Sleeping Beauty, but he doesn't know, why did the queen suddenly talk about this?

"'Rest assured, she's just asleep. The holy magical fairy of the kingdom said, 'There will be a prince's kiss to wake her up.' ’

When she was 20 years old, when the spindle pierced the little princess's finger, this sentence faintly rang in her ears. The sleeping little princess has slightly red cheeks and smiling lips.

Many knights tried to save the little princess, but they all failed. Until a hundred years later, a legendary prince appeared in this land, who is said to have come from a distant and mysterious land, possessed the world's most precious wishing lamp and the endless wealth brought to him by the magic lamp, his bearing was as strong as an eagle, and his sword was studded with precious stones. It is believed that he is the chosen one to save the little princess. ”

"King Aladdin!?"

Wang Ye immediately thought of the name.

The queen did not reply, but continued: "Along the way, the prince defeated the serpents and demons, but he could not overcome the smile of the princess of the neighboring country. The princess of the neighboring country had a crush on the legendary prince, and she did everything in her power to keep him, and in the end, she succeeded.

The country and the city in the distance can never compare to the warm fragrant nephrite in front of you. The prince is tired, and he goes on an adventure for a beautiful legend he has never met, or he keeps a happiness at his fingertips, and the fool knows what to choose.

In the gloomy castle, Sleeping Beauty woke up from her dream that day, and for some reason, she felt very sad. When he opened his eyes, he suddenly found a woman in a black cloak standing in front of him.

The woman was none other than the witch who had put her into a deep sleep.

'Where is my prince?' asked Sleeping Beauty anxiously.

But the witch's answer chilled her completely.

You can't wait for him, he doesn't have the patience and faith to save you, he married the princess of a neighboring country, and now he is living happily. ’

Sleeping Beauty's tears welled up at once: 'Impossible, how could I wake up without his kiss.' ’

'Because I want you to open your eyes and see the cruelty of this world.' The witch told her.

Then the witch threw a black cloak to Sleeping Beauty: 'Wear it, the world has abandoned you, and you need no more illusions of weakness.' ’

Sleeping Beauty looked around, only to find that the prosperous and beautiful castle in her memory had been decayed by a hundred years of devastation, and the cold and silent castle was dotted with cobwebs and empty, except for crows standing quietly on the wall in the barren grass, staring at the ruined capital.

'Who are you?' the princess cried hoarsely at the witch.

'I am what you are going to become, when you see through the world. ’

This was the answer the witch had left her.

With that, the witch's body glowed, slowly dissolving into the light.

Sleeping Beauty looked at the cloak in her hand and put it on calmly, without hesitation.

In a distant land, the prince married the princess of a neighboring country. A few years later, the prince became a king, and the beautiful queen gave birth to a daughter, whose skin was as white as snow, and very pleasant.

On the day of the full moon of the little princess, all the fairies gathered to bless the little princess, and a witch figure wearing a black cloak suddenly broke in and left a curse:

She will be a spurned slut at the age of 20 and expelled from the palace. ’”
