Josh showed a proper curiosity.
The chef smiled and said, "But because he is the heir to the throne, he has a lot to learn every day, and the old king never lets him go out. So he always asks me to take him out."
"I have to go out and buy all kinds of spices myself every month, so I often secretly take him out to play."
"Every time he was discovered, he would be severely beaten by the old king and locked up in the attic. I thought this would make him surrender, but I didn't expect that he would yearn for the outside world even more."
"Later, the old king came up with a plan. He lied to Ceci and said that all the people in the country were cursed by a witch. Only if he got full marks in every subject could the curse on the people be broken."
"From then on, he became a different person. He sacrificed all his time and studied day and night like a learning puppet. This lasted for more than ten years until he got full marks in all subjects. When the old king wanted to pass the throne to him, he told him that the curses of the countrymen were fake and were only meant to make him study hard and not go out to play."
"Sisi went crazy, he started making a scene and hated the king like a madman."
"You have no idea how painful and devastated he was during those ten years. He wanted to fly out of the window like a bird countless times, but when he thought of those innocent people, he had to grit his teeth and continue studying. He was so numb that he could hardly perceive anything in the outside world."
Josh pursed his lips, thinking back to Ceci's gloomy and handsome face on the day of the party.
No wonder he is always so gloomy. It turns out he was deceived into studying too much since he was young.
The chef patted her on the shoulder and said, "Ms. Josh, if you really love Ceci, then be nice to him. This child has suffered many pitiful things."
Josh nodded: “I understand, thank you Mr. Chef.”
The chef handed her a key and said, "If you are willing to take him out to play, I think he will be very happy."
Josh took the key and frowned slightly. The other NPCs asked them to try their best to keep Ceci in the castle, so why did the chef want her to take Ceci out?
Is it a temptation?
Qiao Xi responded in a hurry: "I hope there will be a chance in the future, but now I feel that I am fine in the castle."
The chef smiled and nodded. "Then you can go around and have a look. There are many hidden surprises in the castle. I'm going to start preparing lunch."
Josh stood up, said goodbye to him, and turned to leave the kitchen.
She looked at the time. It was already past 10 o'clock, which was past the meeting time with Yu Ze.
It seems I can only wait until tomorrow, or try my luck around and see if I can run into him again.
Josh began to wander around. Since the chef said that there were hidden surprises everywhere in the castle, it must mean that there were props or something like that.
She found a quiet corner, opened the two items she had obtained before, and discovered that they were both memory fragments.
She held the shards in her hands.
[Congratulations on obtaining the key item, a hairband, and unlocking the plot 3 of "The Tragic Past of Prince Cece and His Lover."]
In this memory fragment, Prince Sisi is in the castle, next to his beloved girl, who is combing his hair.
Josh saw the girl's clothes, which looked like maid's clothes.
Could it be that the prince is in love with the maid?
She couldn't help but recall what the ghost girl had said before. From the ghost girl's tone, she knew that the prince was a passionate man.
But judging from these fragments of memory, the prince did not seem to be particularly promiscuous.
I can only say that I am really lonely and need someone to accompany me.
Josh took the fragment back and took out another one.
[Congratulations on obtaining the key item, a rope, and unlocking the plot 5 of "The Tragic Past of Prince Cece and His Lover."]
In this fragment, Josh saw the scene where Ceci and his beloved woman were forcibly separated by the king. The woman was stabbed to death by the guards in the hall, and Ceci was in agony beside her.
It seems that it is because of the woman's identity. If the prince stays with a woman, he will die. The king cannot bear to see the heir he has carefully trained run away with a woman and sacrifice his life, so he broke up the couple.
Josh took back the prop and frowned slightly. He didn't know how many small pieces of this were left.
As she thought about it, she casually walked to the first floor and pushed open a door next to her.
The furnishings in the room made her stunned.
This looks like a child's room. The room seems to be cleaned regularly. There is not even a trace of dust on the dark wooden table.
There were just all kinds of toys scattered around the floor of the room, some chessboards, some checkers pieces, various building blocks, small wooden horses and the like.
Josh walked in and saw an oil painting on the wall. There was a portrait of a child in the painting. Although the child was very young, it was vaguely recognizable as Ceci's childhood appearance.
It seems that this place is the room where Ceci lived when she was a child, or it may be the playroom.
Although it is a playroom, the toys all look new and don't look like they are used often.
Josh was casually browsing in the room, opened a drawer, and accidentally saw a diary.
She raised her eyebrows. A little kid's diary?
This feeling of snooping into other people's privacy is really...
She was about to pick up the diary when she heard a slight noise behind her.
Qiao Xi turned around suddenly and met a pair of gloomy big eyes. A bunch of thorny vines quickly emerged from the ground and stabbed towards her chest.
She quickly took out her machete to resist, and with her other hand she quickly picked up the diary and threw it into the warehouse.
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the hidden item, a magical diary. The front part records the miserable childhood of Prince Ceci, but in the back part, you can freely write whatever you want! ]
