Chapter 68 Puppet Girl vs Magician (4)

"Dear King, may I ask why you summoned me?" The magician bowed respectfully and stood opposite the king.

He had long guessed that the king would look for him, but he did not expect the king to be so impatient and not wait until the end of today's banquet.

"Chat with you." The king, whose hair and beard were already gray, put down the myth book in his hand and looked at him happily.

In the palace, the banquet was still going on. The king's birthday was something worthy of the whole country celebrating all night. The banquet would naturally continue until the early morning before dispersing.

However, tomorrow morning, officials who were supposed to attend the court to discuss politics still had to come. The king was old and could not stay up late, so he would go back early every time. Many people would choose to leave the palace after the king left.

The king asked about his family history bit by bit.

The magician knew that the king should have sent someone to check his background in advance, and he did not hide anything.

"Oh, my poor room, can I call you that?" After listening to the magician's miserable family life, the king's eyes were moistened.

"This is my great blessing." The magician touched his chest with his right hand to show respect.

"Look, those people used to be so harsh and ridiculed you, but now you have grown beyond their imagination. Don't you want to go back to your hometown to tell them about your achievements and let them cry and admit their mistakes in front of you?" The king was deliberately guiding him.

The magician certainly understood the meaning of the king's question and agreed very tactfully, "My respected king, there is not a day that I don't want to go back to my hometown to tell those family members who once looked down on me, but I am just a powerless magician with nothing but a false name."

He lowered his forehead in a depressed manner.

"Oh. Child, don't worry. If you really want to go back to your hometown, I will definitely make you glorious. With my reward, no one dares to look down on you." The king walked down from his throne, came to his side, and patted his shoulder deliberately, "Child, there is an opportunity in front of you now, it depends on whether you will grasp it."

"What opportunity?" He raised his face with a hungry attitude.

"The opportunity to become the third most noble person in the world, after me and the princess." The king coaxed him, as if he was coaxing a child, "Don't you like the princess? Now this opportunity depends on you."

"But the princess is so beautiful and capable, she will definitely not look down on me." The magician is not a fool, he doesn't want to be a puppet.

At present, the king has only one child, the princess. A hundred years later, the king's throne will definitely be inherited by the princess. Unfortunately, the princess's appearance is so exquisite and beautiful that she has no resemblance to the king, and her ability to govern the country is far superior to the king who only knows how to enjoy himself. How could the king not have a sense of crisis? That's why he thought of marrying the princess down and suppressing her.

If he had no bargaining chips and got caught in the fight between the king and the princess, he would definitely die miserably.

"Don't worry. I will write a handwritten order tonight and announce it to the world tomorrow morning. You have become the chief magician in the palace. All magicians in the world are at your disposal." The king turned his back to him and looked out the window. "But there is a condition. You have to give me the puppet girl in your hand."

Thinking of the puppet girl's passionate performance at his birthday party, the king's drooping triangular eyes revealed a few lewd lights.

"No." The magician refused.

This is his biggest trump card. The reason why he has been able to become famous in such a short time in recent years is inseparable from the help of the puppet girl. If he loses the puppet girl, how can his reputation as a magician be effective.

"You..." The king did not expect him to refuse him. He turned his head and glared at him fiercely. "Do you want power and status, or do you want your puppet? Go back and think about it yourself. When you have thought of it, come to me again."

The king has been wronged for the prime minister's suggestion of killing two birds with one stone. Seeing that the magician was so unconvinced, he no longer wanted to communicate with him. The king thought that if the magician really didn't agree, he could just kill him and snatch the puppet girl away.

As for the princess's husband, he could slowly find one among the people. There was no need to rush.

The magician sensed the king's murderous intent and immediately compromised, saying, "I'm not rejecting you, but I have a special method to control the puppet girl, and I'm worried that you can't learn it."

"How difficult is that?" The king immediately turned his anger into joy, "You can stay in the palace in the future and teach me slowly."

"As you say." The magician agreed with a smile.

To get a noble status and reputation, you have to pay what you deserve. Isn't this what you should do? ! He kept telling himself in his heart.

Therefore, for the sake of a noble status and reputation, he could only give up his time.

The palace garden.

"Wait, what are you holding?" The princess stopped the two suspicious attendants.

If you want to deliver something to the front hall, you won't pass by the garden at all. Passing by the garden can only mean leaving the palace.

The two attendants stopped and greeted the princess, unconsciously holding the box in their hands.

"I ask again, what are you holding in your hands?" The princess showed signs of being angry.

Night travel is not allowed in the deep palace. Today is the king's birthday and a banquet is held, so an exception is made. But this is definitely not the time for villains to take advantage of the opportunity.

"Princess, spare me, princess, spare me." The two servants dropped the boxes in their hands, knelt down on the ground, and knocked heavily on the cobblestone road.

They thought that they would not be discovered because of the chaos of people coming and going in the palace today. Who would have thought that their luck was so bad. It was just a little bit, just a little bit, and they could transport this thing out of the palace and make a fortune.

The boxes were scattered on the ground and shook open. One was empty, and the other contained a sleeping puppet girl. She was covered with petals, her face was gentle and silent, and there was an amazing beauty. The

princess was intoxicated at a glance .

Such a beautiful thing, everyone wants to possess it.

"Let them go." The princess rarely showed mercy.

"Get out of here." The leader of the imperial guards who had been following the princess kicked both of them on the buttocks.

"Go out of the palace and don't let me see you again." The princess took the initiative to pick up the box and walked towards her palace.

These two servants had the guts to steal things in the palace. They must have been bribed by a certain prince or minister tonight. If they didn't complete their mission, they would naturally not have any good results when they returned. She would not dirty her hands herself.
