Chapter 266: The Dance Begins
The post house is not far from the palace, Yang Yi and the four of them didn't even sit in the car, they walked out of the post house and walked towards the palace, because the king held a grand ball, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, on the way to the palace is very lively, although the ball has begun, there are still beautiful girls wearing dresses towards the palace convergence......
Yang Yi, Fuman, Little Red Riding Hood, Elena, the four of them are not much conspicuous, Forman has a golden invitation card in his hand, came to the gate of the palace, and the guards blocked most of the people, because the dance has begun, only those who have invitations can enter smoothly, or some beautiful girls, but most of them are stopped at the door.
There are two kinds of people who attend the ball, men and women, men are invited, that is to say, there must be invitations, after all, the prince is the real protagonist, women do not have invitations, but there are standards, such as age, appearance, height, posture...... Not all girls will be able to enter the ball.
Yang Yi and the four of them undoubtedly meet the standards, the men have invitations, the ladies are beautiful enough, and they entered the palace smoothly, the lights in the palace are brilliant, and the music in the hall sounds, which looks very formal, Yang Yi looked around, except for the big one, the palace of the Oda Kingdom is not much different from the palaces of other countries.
Forman took the lead and walked up the steps and entered the hall of the palace, Yang Yi followed behind, and after entering, he saw that the hall was quite large, almost the size of a football field, and it was very exquisitely decorated inside, bands, well-dressed servants, dazzling girls, and some nobles, but the most conspicuous was the king and his prince.
The king of the kingdom of Oda was an old man in his fifties, looking very majestic and majestic, but his beard was gray, he was dressed in a decent dress, wearing a crown, sitting on the throne, and beside him was a young prince who was only in his twenties, handsome, generous, heroic, a bit like a Hollywood actor, Orlando Bloom.
The young prince didn't seem to be very interested in this kind of ball, frowning and looking at the people dancing on the dance floor, when Fuman and Yang Yi came in, the king's and prince's eyes fell on them, the prince's eyes lit up, and the old king also bowed slightly to Fuman.
Fu Man's identity is the envoy of the Shenlong Kingdom, but he is a secret envoy, after all, the Shenlong Kingdom is not recognized by everyone, even the alliance is to be carried out in secret, so the king did not get up to welcome, obviously the prince also knows Fu Man's identity, his eyes are very eager, Yang Yi feels that this is a very enterprising prince.
The princes in the fairy tale world are not all brave and strong, but they are not all cowardly and incompetent, there are always one or two outliers who stand out, Prince Simon seems to be one, Forman and Yang Yi bent down towards the king on the seat, the king nodded slightly, and suddenly stood up with a wine glass...... The crunch of the sound.
The king rang his glass and signaled that he had something to say, the band stopped playing, and the people in the center of the dance floor saluted face to face, and then retreated to both sides, and in silence the king stood up and said aloud: " The ball is held for the purpose of my dear son, Prince Simon of the Kingdom of Odda to choose a bride, my kingdom is rich and prosperous, and there is no need to marry other countries, so the princess can only be the girl of the Kingdom of Odda, now, please jump up and see which girl our dear prince will fall in love with, no matter who he has his eye on, it will be my daughter-in-law, the prince's wife, and become the princess, and even the future queen......"
After King Odda finished speaking, the ball officially began, Yang Yi understood that this was the king had been waiting for Forman to arrive, indicating that he attached great importance to Forman's envoy, however, this opening sentence was straightforward enough, and the meaning was also very clear, today Prince Simon is the real protagonist, and everyone else is just a supporting role.
When a supporting role is to have the consciousness of being a supporting role, Yang Yi and Forman took Elena and Little Red Riding Hood to the side, and mingled in the crowd without showing anything, but Yang Yi's eyes kept looking around, but he didn't see Cinderella, which is strange, Cinderella set off earlier than them, why hasn't it arrived yet?
Yang Yi was full of worries, but he saw Cinderella's stepmother and her two sisters, Cinderella's stepmother was dressed very gracefully and luxuriously, looking like a noble lady, but Cinderella's two sisters didn't dare to compliment, it was simply gaudy to the extreme, the dresses on the two were either red or green, and the white powder on their faces was so thick that they scared people to death, even if they looked ugly, they also came out to make trouble, wearing red flowers on their heads, don't they know that red and green, dog racing fart?
That's just a glance...... Yang Yi glanced at it, then turned his head to look at others, he wanted to see if there were witches among so many girls who participated in the dance, but he couldn't see it at all, Yang Yi turned his head to look at Little Red Riding Hood, but saw her face was heavy, and couldn't help asking: "Red Riding Hood, do you feel the presence of witches?"
"There's a witch's scent, but it's not strong, and I feel the banshee getting closer and closer......"
Could it be that Cinderella is coming? Yang Yi looked at the door, there were new girls coming, and there was no trace of Cinderella, after the king finished his opening remarks, the ball had already begun, Prince Simon reluctantly invited a girl from a noble family to dance, because the size of the dance floor was limited, so not all of them could go down to dance, such as Yang Yi and the four of them stayed aside obediently.
In the soothing music, the dance continued, and just when Yang Yi was a little impatient, an azure figure broke in from outside, as if to strengthen her appearance, the lights in the hall suddenly dimmed, and then brightened again, Little Red Riding Hood dragged Yang Yi's hand and said, "The banshee is here!"
Yang Yi looked towards the door, the person who came was Cinderella, her whole person seemed to have changed, becoming noble, beautiful, and slender, especially the face, not the face that Yang Yi saw before, on the contrary, it was a bit of a Talia banshee, two beautiful faces fused together, that feeling was not only terrifying, Yang Yi couldn't help but think of the original fairy tale.
In the original fairy tale, Cinderella also appeared like this, but what made Yang Yi puzzled was that even if Cinderella was dressed gorgeously, it was becoming different, and there was no way to change her height and facial features, but Cinderella's stepmother and two sisters, who also participated in the ball, were stunned and didn't recognize them? Are they blind?
It's Cinderella's current appearance that is more logical, because her facial features have become different, so her stepmother and sister won't recognize it, Yang Yi's eyes lit up, waiting for the progress of the incident, Cinderella's appearance was too sassy, attracting everyone's attention, and of course, the prince's attention.
At this time, Cinderella's temperament is not only noble, not only beautiful, but also a trace of banshee temptation, this temptation Yang Yi couldn't help but be in a trance, not to mention Prince Simon, Prince Simon's eyes lit up all of a sudden, shook off the dance partner next to him, and walked towards Cinderella, Prince Simon's dance partner was very unwilling, and reached out to drag Prince Simon, but was pushed away by Prince Simon.
This was undoubtedly a very rude thing, and the king hurriedly let the band continue to play to cover up Prince Simon's impoliteness, and when the music sounded, the men understood one thing, that this beautiful girl could only belong to the prince, so they continued to dance with their dancing partners, and the women, although they were jealous, were helpless, but fortunately, they could also get to know some nobles......
Seeing that Prince Simon walked to the middle of the dance floor and was about to reach Cinderella's side, Yang Yi suddenly moved in his heart, dragged Elena over, and said to her: "You go to dance with the prince, remember, you must drag the prince, quickly!"
Yang Yi pushed Elena out, Elena was also quite beautiful, and she was helplessly pushed out, so she could only block Prince Simon, and said, "Dear prince, am I lucky enough to invite you to dance?"
"No, you get out of the way, I've found my dance partner......" Prince Simon wanted to push Elena away, but Elena was a witch, not an ordinary girl, let alone Prince Simon who wanted to get rid of it, and with a slight turn of his body, he resolved Prince Simon's rudeness, but instead stepped forward, reached out and grabbed Prince Simon's hand, and jumped up with Prince Simon.
Prince Simon was very angry, but he couldn't get rid of Elena's entanglement, Yang Yi rushed out with an arrow, came directly to Cinderella, grabbed Cinderella's hand and said: "Beautiful girl, please dance with me, the prince can't take care of ......you for the time being."
There were two or three witches mixed in during the ball, and it was impossible for them not to feel the banshee's breath on Cinderella's body, so Yang Yi suddenly danced with Cinderella, with their shrewdness, it was not difficult to see who Yang Yi was, so the show should be staged, and the witches would definitely think that the banshee and Yang Yi were in the same group......
That is to say, when Yang Yi whispered to Cinderella, the witches would definitely be anxious and would target the banshee, and then let them kill each other, so Yang Yi hugged Cinderella and said softly: "Beautiful girl, I want to ask you personally, a long time ago, there was a princess Talia, she was a banshee, do you know her?"
Yang Yi's purpose is to stimulate the Banshee of Talia, if his guess is right, the Banshee of Talia is now possessed by Cinderella, what is her purpose, it seems very clear now, she wants to borrow the corpse to resurrect the soul, borrow the body of Cinderella to confuse Prince Simon, as long as she becomes the crown princess and then kills the old king, then the entire Odda Kingdom will be controlled in her hands and do whatever she wants, which is undoubtedly a very clever idea.
Yang Yi went straight in, wondering if the fairy Dura fairy on Cinderella's body was the Banshee of Talia, after saying that, Yang Yi stared at Cinderella's face hard, and sure enough, at the same time as Yang Yi asked these words, a flush flashed on Cinderella's face, a blood-like flush, and at this moment, Yang Yi saw the face of the Banshee of Talia.
