On the sixth day of coming to the world of "Snow White", Gu Xiao passed by the gate of the palace.

Inside the palace, the king's hysterical voice could be heard clearly through a heavy door.

"She must have been enchanted by a witch, the royal court mage? What about the Great Wizard Yerevan? Let me cast your damn magic and undo the spell on Princess Shirley. ”

Gu Xiao stopped and looked into the palace through the gap.

On the throne, the solemn and heroic king was gone.

Instead, there was a down-and-out middle-aged man with bloodshot eyes and unkempt hair.

From his chapped lips and red eyes, it was not difficult to tell that His Majesty had not rested and eaten for several days.

The pressure from the state and his daughter's disobedience to discipline made him exhausted.

Standing outside the palace gate, Gu Xiao sighed softly.

Not even the most powerful magus could touch the curse that was placed on Princess Shirley, a curse called love. She was completely obsessed, how could a girl who was not deeply involved in the world resist the demeanor and affection of a middle-aged man.

Just as Gu Xiao wanted to pretend that he didn't hear it and leave directly, a crisp voice sounded behind him.

"Brother Hamlet, do you have a reply from dear Joseph to me?"

Princess Shirley's voice was not small, she did not hear the king's anger in the palace, and she was preoccupied with the reply from Joseph.

Such a voice could not be regarded as a fault in the past, but now it has angered the lion who is angry.

"Shirley, you come in for me!" The king roared, and the tiredness and torment of the days and the stimulation of Shirley's kick made him completely lose his mind.

He just wants to vent in a rage now, and take all this pressure out on the person who brought it.

Gu Xiao wanted to accompany the little girl into the palace to face it, but was directly driven out by a token from His Royal Highness the King.

The token that was furious and did not leave any strength cut through Gu Xiao's forehead, leaving a blood mark on his forehead.

The king drove everyone away, including the queen.

No one knows what the king and the little princess said that day.

……

In the evening, in the royal garden, Gu Xiao found Princess Shirley who was squatting behind a rockery and crying.

At this time, the little princess no longer had the same cute and cute as before, and her little face was filled with tears.

Seeing Gu Xiao, the elder brother who grew up with her since childhood, she completely let go of all her reserve and threw herself into Gu Xiao's arms.

"Brother Hamlet, my father doesn't want me anymore! Father doesn't want me anymore! ”

In this regard, Gu Xiao didn't know how to comfort her.

He has also heard the recent rumors in the national capital, even if he is not sensitive to politics, he has sensed the smell of conspiracy, and it seems that someone wants to make a fuss about Princess Shirley's marriage.

If you don't get it right, it could even threaten the king's rule over the Duchy of York.

Under such circumstances, Gu Xiao really felt that it was understandable for the king to say some heavy words.

The male lion, he has been driven to the edge of the hunter's trap, and if he doesn't make a decision, maybe the male lion will be pushed into the abyss along with the lion cub.

After thinking about it for a while, Gu Xiao still decided to tell some things to Shirley.

She is an adult, no longer a child, and should be responsible for the choices she makes.

After listening to Gu Xiao's explanation, Shirley, who was crying, stopped.

Even the tears stopped flowing in those big, godless eyes.

"Father, Country, Joseph, Duty, Love"

If it weren't for Gu Xiao's keen hearing, he wouldn't even be able to hear the words muttering from Shirley Cherry's small mouth.

Finally, Shirley reacted.

"Brother Hamlet, can you leave first? Give me a little time, I want to be alone for a while. ”

……

At night, there was a third knock on the door of the little princess's bedroom.

"Shirley, it's time for dinner."

"This is the second time I've heated the food, and the steak is going to be overcooked!"

Gu Xiao curled his knuckles and knocked on the door of the log house, but he didn't expect any feedback in his heart.

What happened in the morning was too big a blow for the little princess.

In her original fairytale-like world, for the first time, she was covered with a haze of deceit.

Maybe she needs a little more time to heal the throbbing in her heart.

Gu Xiao held the tray, turned around and just wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, behind him, the door that had been closed suddenly opened, revealing Shirley's small figure.

She looked up at Gu Xiao: "Brother Hamlet, can I talk to you?" ”

Gu Xiao nodded and accompanied Shirley into the dormitory.

The area of the dormitory is not large, only fifty or sixty square meters, but it is very girlish.

Pink lace curtains, beautiful little dresses in the wardrobe, delicate puppets everywhere in the house. All this implies that this room belongs to a little princess with a girl's heart.

But today, just now, the girlish aura that permeates the little princess has been swept away.

There is no longer a relaxed smile on his face, and there is no longer a sparkle in his eyes.

Sitting face to face with Shirley, looking at Shirley's gray eyes, and feeling the resolute meaning flashing in those eyes, Gu Xiao understood that after this incident, Shirley should have grown.

Facing Gu Xiao, Shirley simply and straightforwardly asked the question.

"Hamlet, what can I do to defend my love and save my country?"

Gu Xiaoning froze, and suddenly remembered the hint given in the parchment scroll when he first entered the first act of "Snow White".

The choice in front of Shirley was clear, but Gu Xiao still didn't give up and wanted to make one last effort.

He opened his mouth and did not answer, but asked rhetorically: "Shirley, I know that you may not be able to listen to what I say now, and I feel that the love between you and Joseph is sacred and inviolable. ”

"But I still want to ask you one last time, Shirley, and ask yourself, do you really, love him?"

As soon as the words fell, Gu Xiao regretted it, everything he saw was just a game, a so-called plot. Why should I be so serious, I would rather harm my own interests than give her a chance to redeem at the end?

Shirley answered love without hesitation, like a moth swooping into the flame of an oil lamp.

When it comes to feelings, Shirley is as passionate and bold as ever, bold and persistent.

Gu Xiao sighed and completely gave up.

He thought of the hint of the first act: the dilemma of fame, fortune and love.

In fact, Shirley's choice was already established when she first entered "Snow White".

"Love and the right to inherit the throne, you can only keep one."

"If you choose love, you can only cut ties with your father. Otherwise, the whole country may be subverted because of your love. ”

Shirley's answer again did not hesitate, in the face of love, she never thought of betrayal, and in the face of her own responsibility, she never thought of giving up and persevering.

"I will proclaim the world tomorrow, and I will renounce my right to inherit the throne and marry into the Joseph family as a commonerwoman."

"I will not betray my first love, but I will not betray my people either."

"I am both a lover and a princess of this country."

"At my wedding, I would only bring a bouquet of red roses as a dowry."

"I will be the poorest bride and the happiest bride."

"My love is never mixed with half a substance."
