Chapter 38: The Lord's Secret
"Does that really work?" Little Red Riding Hood Halima Jacob listened to Du Moqing's idea, like a Persian cat's big eyes full of suspicion, and asked again and again uncertainly. "Just pestering my grandmother to play a game."
"Yes, it's that simple." Du Moqing's tone confirmed affirmatively, some people are already deeply demonic, and they only need a little stimulation. Things will be put on the table, and the rest will be the grievances of their previous generation, and they will not be involved in Little Red Riding Hood.
It all started a few decades ago, when the previous king, who was in free love and married an unknown woman.
The family was happy and loving, and there was a pair of sons and daughters, until there was an accident.
Because there are no elderly people in the village, Du Moqing doesn't know how many times he has changed his hand when he inquired about the news, and the specific inside story is not very clear.
In short, the king's wife was revealed to be an evil witch, and the biggest thing the king could do at that time was to resist the pressure of the Holy See, save his wife's life and expel her from the territory.
He also married a princess from a neighboring country as the new queen, and the two sides formed an alliance to resist the power of the Church according to the normal noble family union.
The beautiful new queen is naturally jealous.
I can't stand the king's love for a pair of children left behind by his ex-wife
So the evil plot gradually took shape in her mind.
Nominally, the little prince and the little princess were driven out of the castle by the queen, but the real result was that the little prince was eventually killed by the queen and the Holy See.
The young princess was lucky enough to escape and was replaced by his mother with the daughter of her own servant.
Then the little princess survived under the name of Gretel.
As for the story after that, of course, it was the Great Perfection, in a hunt that I don't know how long later.
The old king was pleasantly reunited, and the daughter and son, who had thought to be dead, came to recognize him with their mother's relics.
was saved by his own mother, a half-truth and half-truth, and simply persuaded the old king.
So the king was pleasantly surprised to bring his girl and his brother and boy back to the castle, and the whole country celebrated.
In fact, the real little prince is dead, and his body lies under the church of God, while the brother and sister brought back by the king are real and fake.
Together, the two kept the secret, and then the woodcutter's son became the current king of the realm as a prince.
Originally, everything was supposed to be calm, but fate played a joke again,
The first child of the current king of the realm was born, and the child, who had been baptized with flame according to the tradition, was burned beyond recognition.
The new prince did not have noble blood in his veins.
All the officials and knights in the realm, the priests who presided over the baptism, and the envoys of the neighboring countries who came to witness were all shocked by this.
At this moment, the current king, although panicked, was furious, diverted everyone's attention, sent his henchmen to conduct a strict investigation, and finally gave everyone a satisfactory answer.
In order to let their own children have a better life in the future, the lower-class servants secretly swapped them with the lord's baby in their infancy;
Unfortunately, the "Replaced Prince" was born in the month of reproduction, and now there are a large number of newborns of the same age in the territory, in order to find the missing little prince.
Then the mighty search began, and the villagers below took this opportunity to put countless newborns into the furnace for verification.
The result, naturally, is nothing, after all.
Where did the replaced little prince come from?
Countless people who died in vain! Thrown into a sleep at the feet of the gods beneath the altar, they gradually merged with a revenant soul who was supposed to be asleep into the same grudge.
Then, Du Moqing accepted the first link of the main quest generated by their obsession, and knew some secrets, coupled with the information given by Halima Jacob, Little Red Riding Hood, to deduce the cause and effect of the matter.
Then Du Moqing used the future information obtained from the mission to verify it, plus the story told in the candy house.
Obviously, Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother, the mother of the princess and prince of the first queen of this territory, had disappeared many years ago.
So, who is the grandmother who loves Halimah Jacob? Isn't the answer obvious why his mother never visited his grandmother by herself, but left Little Red Riding Hood alone?
Gretel, who inherited the power of his mother's witch, is afraid that the two of them share the same body by chance.
