Chapter 105 Finale "Love is the Only Truth"
For some reason, this trip suddenly turned into the kind of food adventure that Ye Wan had hoped to realize.
This is mainly because there are so many delicious monsters in this underground maze, and a few of them will jump out from time to time.
At this time, Youan would draw his sword and rush forward, while Ye Wan would happily set up the pot early in the back.
There is a kind of rock guinea fowl that is very delicious. They live in the center of the earth and are easy to catch. They feed on salt and do not need to be marinated. They can be grilled directly on a stone slab. The grilled chicken fillet will have a smoky mineral flavor.
There is also a kind of glowing mushroom that can walk. Although Ye Wan is worried about poisoning, Youan said it is okay. This kind of mushroom will have the flavor of cream of mushroom soup when cooked directly with chicken, which is very delicious.
Finally, when they passed through the bizarre and dangerous caves, the three finally arrived at the deepest part of the maze, which was an extremely huge black lake, and their shadows could not be reflected on the surface of the lake.
There is a small boat by the lake.
Youan bent down and pulled the rope to drag the boat over. The boat was very small and could only seat three people, just enough for three people, and there were three of them.
Ye Wan muttered as he sat in the middle of the boat, "I'm most afraid of this black water. I feel like there's a giant monster or an octopus monster about to emerge from the bottom."
Before he could finish his words, the black water began to bubble, as if something was really going to come out. Although Youan quickly took a defensive stance, a beautiful red goldfish soon emerged from the water.
"Where did this little goldfish come from? It's quite cute." Ye Wan said in surprise.
Little Youan pouted: "How is it cute...it's just a goldfish."
The goldfish made an angry expression and sprayed a large mouthful of water in little Youan's face.
Little Youan's face turned blue with anger.
Soon they arrived at the center of the lake, which looked like a small amusement park, with various faded letters and dolls forming a throne.
Ye Wan quietly asked You An: "Does this place look like the place where the big iron block was controlled when we went to the underground city before?"
She looked around in fear and her speech became incoherent.
There was a man sitting on the throne.
Reading a magazine.
A magazine called "Flower Girl" with a handsome man with eight-pack abs on the cover. Ye Wan felt that the magazine looked familiar.
Then the person holding the magazine moved it away, revealing a familiar face.
"Madame Pellois?" Ye Wan exclaimed.
"Oh, it's me." She put down the magazine and greeted the three people: "Congratulations on finally coming here."
Her tone was calm, as if she was trying to recruit Ye Wan to take care of the newly launched chocolate wine.
Ye Wan couldn't believe it: "You are that...that..."
"Yes, it's me. I am the incarnation of the earth spirit. Now..."
Several people couldn't help but become nervous.
"Now, I'm hungry. Anything is fine. Cook something to eat." Mrs. Pellowa nodded towards the lake.
Youan: “?”
Ye Wan: “?”
"Hey, I came out of my winery just to wait for you. Can you hurry up?" she urged.
Although they didn't know what she was up to, Ye Wan, You An and the other two discussed it and decided to agree first, because Ye Wan himself was hungry.
She found a lot of slimes nearby, cute transparent slimes. Ye Wan caught them with a net bag and threw them into the pot.
Obviously, these slimes do not have any offensive power. On the contrary, they all look as cute as jelly. Ye Wan found a big pot and poured them in. These slimes with eyes as big as sesame seeds began to spin and swim.
Pancake stared at the slimes with a worried look on his face. It was obvious that he didn't want such cute little magical creatures to melt.
"Don't worry, I won't let them melt." Ye Wan comforted.
The slimes swam two or three times, and Ye Wan fished them out. The pot of water had turned into a gelatinous state. At this time, he threw the berries in and cooked them into a beautiful berry red color. Then he poured the unsolidified pulp into the nut shells.
In this way, when it cools and solidifies naturally, some berry-shaped jellies are ready.
There is also a strange plant that grows in caves. It looks like moss but is very crisp and tender. It will become crispy if it is slightly fried in oil. It is very suitable for adding some seasoning to make crispy moss salad.
A table of delicious food was quickly brought to Madame Pellois. She threw away the magazine in her hand and took the food: "Ah, it's really good. It's a pity that I can't bring any wine here."
She finished a table of dishes easily, and then said, "Okay, now the test begins."
"Test? What test?" Ye Wan asked.
A soft circle of light suddenly descended from the sky and quickly enveloped the two Yuans.
"Yuan!" Ye Wan exclaimed, and rushed forward but was blocked by a gentle force.
Youan looked around vigilantly, but the circle of light did not seem to have any malicious intent. He seemed to want to say something to Ye Wan, but his voice could not get through the layer of light.
Suddenly, the circle of light carried him, like a dandelion seed blown by the wind, rising up, penetrating the dome of the cave and disappearing.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Ye Wan asked angrily.
"According to the prophecy, this cold-blooded future monarch, this fragile little waste, will cause the disaster to escalate. I am only preventing the disaster from happening to Osenna."
"Don't call Youan a waste." Ye Wan said.
"The kingdom needs a wise and kind heir. Go through the little fun I've set up and find him. He's at the end of the green, in the tallest tower."
Madame Perroy waved her hand, and the scene in front of Ye Wan changed instantly. She was no longer standing in a dark underground cave, but in a dreamlike forest.
The leaves and branches here emit a soft blue light, and the silver moon in the sky makes the entire forest look like a dream.
The air still carries the fresh, sweet scent of flowers.
Ye Wan held Muffin in his arms: "I still don't understand what she means, but look, Muffin, it doesn't look that scary here."
She walked in with the muffins and was soon blocked by a group of tall, lush trees with glowing vines hanging from the tops. The tall, lush vines hung down like curtains.
Ye Wan continued to move forward, but was blocked by vines. The vines were quite good, and they lifted up and pointed to a crooked tool shed nearby.
Ye Wan walked in and saw a very old flying broom inside. The broom was light-colored and leaning against a tree, dozing off.
Ye Wan walked over, and the broom seemed to wake up. It shook its body and looked quite impatient.
"I need to cross this forest. Can you help me?" Ye Wan asked.
Broom looked her over arrogantly, "No, I guess not."
"Why?" Ye Wan asked anxiously.
"I only let good broomstick players fly." It nodded toward the sky.
Ye Wan really still doesn't know how to ride a broom.
"Then let me do it." A familiar female voice sounded.
Ye Wan looked up and saw Lily descending from the sky on a small broomstick: "Finally I found you."
"Lily!"
"Oh, everyone was very worried after you disappeared, and then we received your letter asking for help. We came here through a circle of light in the park, and then went into the basement of the post office. Madame Pellois was sitting on a strange throne eating jelly, and then she let us in."
She proudly raised the broom in her hand and said, "My broom is fast, I'm the first one here!"
She turned to the dozing broom, "Hey, as the team in this year's championship, I think I can handle you."
The broom also gave Lily an unyielding look: "Just you?"
"Yes, just me, come on." Lily rubbed her hands and sat on the broom. The broom flew up in the air unhappily, trying to throw her off.
A strong airflow suddenly hit Lily's face, making it impossible for her to open her eyes and causing her hair to fly back wildly.
"Be careful, Lily." Ye Wan said worriedly.
It was halfway through its dash when it suddenly braked, trying to use inertia to throw Lily off. It suddenly dove again, practically brushing against the crowns of the giant glowing trees. Sharp branches and drooping vines repeatedly passed over Lily's head and ears, forcing her to desperately lower herself. However, she showed no fear. Instead, she smiled and said, "It's just a simple practice match."
In the end, the broom still failed to throw her off, and no longer tried to throw her off. Instead, it became stable and even shook the broom with a bit of comfort, as if it was very satisfied with its tamer.
It slowly and reservedly floated down, and stood in front of Ye Wan: "I agree, you guys come up."
Ye Wan sat on the broom in surprise and put his arm around Lily's waist. The broom immediately flew out with a whoosh, at a very fast speed.
It nimbly weaves between tall fluorescent trees and curtains of drooping vines, perfectly avoiding all obstacles.
Ye Wan felt that all the scenery was moving backwards, and there was a strong wind whistling in his ears.
Finally, the broom carried them through the huge trees and the vines that rushed towards them, and landed steadily on a small hill.
After Ye Wan came down, Lily took out a cloth and carefully wiped the handle of the broom: "Oh, you are so useful, can you be my broom?"
She turned to Ye Wan and said, "You go ahead first. I'll go back and get Qiara and the others."
"So everyone is here?" Ye Wan said happily.
"Of course, we like the tavern very much, and we like you very much. We would be very happy if we could be of any help to you."
Lily got back on her broom, waved at her, and flew back.
Ye Wan helped Songbing tidy up his messy hair: "Okay, let's keep going."
Walking down the hillside, a swamp blocked her way. Although the river water was black, it was covered with glowing stones. From a distance, it looked like a glowing black silk.
"Why is there no boat?"
A powerful fish tail covered with beautiful pink scales swung out from behind a rock in the river, drawing an exaggerated arc in the air, splashing a gorgeous splash of water, splashing water all over Ye Wan's face.
The only mermaid Ye Wan knows is Lorelai. Her stereotype of mermaids is that they are beautiful, elegant, and have good singing voices.
Then, a figure emerged extremely slowly and elegantly. He faced Ye Wan with his back, revealing his muscular bronze back and a head of golden slicked-back hair that was meticulously fixed with hairspray, making it shiny and glossy.
He was holding a shiny shell mirror in his hand, winking at it and fixing his hair.
"Ahem!" He cleared his throat artificially, then spoke in a deep, aria-like voice, still with his back to Ye Wan:
"Oh~! Which lucky visitor from land had the honor to witness the peerless beauty of Rochester, the most dazzling mermaid in this river?"
Ye Wan: “…”
The merman Rochester slowly turned around, revealing a barely handsome, though somewhat greasy, face. He blinked his ocean-blue eyes and gave Ye Wan a wink that he thought was charming.
"Tell me, my dear little Lu Sheng cutie," he shook his blond hair, splashing a few more waters:
"Have you been conquered by my unparalleled charm? Is your heart beating faster and your breathing rapid? But it doesn't matter, these are normal reactions. I have to deal with them many times every day."
Ye Wan awkwardly touched the head of Pancake in his arms, who looked speechless.
She tried to be polite. "I really need to cross this river. Can you help me?"
The mermaid immediately looked at herself in the shell mirror and sighed, "Alas! Seeing my beauty and dignity, is it possible that all you want to do is cross the river?"
He put down the mirror and looked at Ye Wan with an expression that said, "I really can't do anything with you." "Then you need to answer a few questions to cross the river."
"Okay." Ye Wan said readily.
"Why do the fish in the water swim away quickly when they see me?" he asked.
"They're probably afraid that you'll eat them." Ye Wan said without hesitation.
The mermaid's face fell. "No."
"Then why?"
"That must have been seduced by my beauty."
Ye Wan: “…”
"Okay, the answer is wrong, you can go back." The mermaid said coldly and ruthlessly. He stopped talking to Ye Wan and began to hum a ballad.
Ye Wan decided not to talk to this weirdo anymore, she could swim over by herself.
Suddenly, a completely different ethereal voice from Rochester rose slowly from He Xin: "After so many years, your singing is still so unpleasant."
Rochester looked like he had been hit by a needle, his expression froze, and he showed panic for the first time.
"Lorelai!" he cried, dropping the mirror.
Ye Wan also looked in the direction of the sound. An elegant female mermaid quietly emerged from the water. Her long hair was a beautiful blue, flowing naturally. She crossed her arms and glanced at the male mermaid indifferently. Then she turned to Ye Wan and gave him a sincere smile. "Long time no see, Ye Wan."
"Lorelai! Why are you here?" Rochester's voice suddenly dropped an octave and he even stuttered a little, looking funny.
Lorelai didn't even look at him twice "I came to help my friend cross the river."
She smiled at Ye Wan and said, "I received a letter in the Misty Sea and felt that you needed help, so I came here."
Ye Wan said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Lorelai."
Rochester's face instantly fell, like a balloon that had been popped. "This won't do. I'm here to protect and block the adventurers' path. This is... this is a necessary procedure!"
"I don't care about you."
Lorelai gently raised her hand, her slender fingers tracing an elegant arc through the air. The glowing pebbles at the bottom of the river rose up, forming an elegant, star-lit arch.
Ye Wan stepped onto the stable and beautiful bridge and walked safely to the other side. She waved in Lorelai's direction and said "thank you" again with all her might.
The corners of Lorelai's mouth seemed to curl upward ever so slightly. "You helped me once, and I want to thank you."
Then she sank gracefully into the water and disappeared, leaving the merman Rochester standing there furious.
After crossing the river, Ye Wan continued walking forward. She said to the sleepy Pancake on her shoulder, "Looking at it this way, it doesn't seem like such a difficult level."
As she walked, she finally arrived at the base of the tall tower. The tower was completely covered by a thick, hideous layer of dark green thorns, and the spikes emitted an ominous cold light in the sunlight.
Euan must be up there at the top of the tower.
"Yuan!" Ye Wan raised her head and shouted, but the tower was too high and her voice could not be transmitted. She tried to take out a knife from her bag to cut the thorns, but the thorns were so hard that the cooking knife could only leave shallow white marks.
This action even angered the thorns, and the sharp thorns suddenly stood up towards Ye Wan. Ye Wan subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it, and his arm was scratched.
"Hiss..." A cold pain immediately came from the fingertips, and a few bright red blood beads oozed out of Ye Wan's hand. Pancake raised his claws and touched her wound worriedly.
"Never mind the muffins."
She carefully avoided the thorns and began to climb: "Yuan is waiting for us."
"Please let me pass. I want to take my love home."
The tower was extremely high, and she struggled to climb that wall. Occasionally, she looked down and saw that the ground had blurred into broken blocks of color. She felt a little dizzy.
The thorns were secretly surrounding him again, and Ye Wan quickly closed his eyes.
The imagined pain did not occur.
The thorn bush was hit by a well-aimed arrow and quickly retreated. She looked down and saw Kiara carrying a bow. Emma waved at her from below: "Don't worry, climb up, Ye Wan. We are all here."
Lily said while riding on her broom, "It's just a tall tower. I can go up to it with just a broom."
She rode her broom upwards, but fell to the ground in an instant. Lily struggled to get up: "It seems there's a restrictive magic here that won't let me fly up."
Ye Wan's eyes became hot. It turned out that all his friends were here.
They began to work together in a division of labor. Kiara specifically picked out the most tightly entangled and stubborn thorn nodes, and used arrows to forcefully loosen them, thus finding some gaps for Ye Wan to attack.
Lorelai came over and gently wrapped the thorns together with water droplets to prevent them from pricking Ye Wan. With such a variety of support, Ye Wan's climbing was no longer so difficult.
"Squeak." Pancake cheered in her ear.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I must climb to the top and find Youan. He is my treasure."
She climbed higher and higher, looking back and down at the backs of those busy working for her, and finally climbed to the top, she opened the window and climbed in.
Youan was lying on a bed, looking safe and sound, but her eyes were closed, as if she was in a deep sleep, and she did not respond to any movement around her or her difficult arrival.
"Youan, Youan." Ye Wan pushed him gently, but there was no response.
"Squeak!" Pancake reminded her while dancing with his hands.
She thought of the legendary true love's kiss.
It doesn't matter, it's just a kiss. They are in love, and the kiss will definitely wake him up.
Ye Wan closed her eyes, lowered her head slightly, and placed a kiss on Youan's lips. The kiss was as gentle as a falling feather and as warm as sunshine in winter.
Then a beautiful golden light emanated from them, and the soft golden-white light spread out from around them. It was so strong that Ye Wan couldn't open her eyes, and then she disappeared in such a powerful light.
When Ye Wan opened his eyes again, he was greeted by a vast, lavishly decorated chamber. A roaring fire burned in the massive fireplace, yet strangely, there was no warmth at all. The air was thick with the odor of medicine and expensive spices, making it almost suffocating.
There were many people in the room: maids in court attire, serious-looking doctors, and... a beautiful but haggard queen wearing a heavy black velvet gown and a crown. She was leaning against a gorgeous four-poster bed, her face pale and her eyes looking around with a complicated expression.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the center of the room, in the hands of the king who wore a crown and had an expression that showed no emotion.
Next to the king was a gorgeous crib with a sleeping baby lying in it.
Ye Wan's heart almost stopped beating. She instantly understood that the kiss had taken her back to the past, to the place where You An had just been born.
"This is when the new crown prince was just born." Madame Pellois stood next to her at some point. They were like two invisible bystanders, trapped in this gray-black, silent world, witnessing everything.
Ye Wan saw the king looking down at the baby in his arms. In his smoky crystal eyes, which were extremely similar to those of the future Youan, there was no joy of becoming a father for the first time. Instead, there was a heavy, scrutinizing look, and even a hint of imperceptible disappointment.
She saw the queen close her eyes in exhaustion.
She saw that the servants around her were holding their breath, not daring to make a sound. The atmosphere was as solemn as attending a funeral.
Then she heard someone speaking:
"He is indeed a prince, but he is so small and thin. I don't know if he can survive this."
"And his cries were not loud enough... The prophecy says he will lead the kingdom to..."
"He needs the most careful care and the strictest teaching. There cannot be the slightest weakness."
"Take her away and hand her over to the wet nurse and the etiquette officer." There were no blessings, no warm hugs, only cruelly cold arrangements and heavy expectations.
Ye Wan looked at the tiny baby, Youan, who was being handed to the wet nurse by the king as if he were handing over an important item, and looked at his wrinkled, little face that had not yet grown...
"Why did you bring me here?" Ye Wan asked.
"Oh, let me show you the Crown Prince's original growth trajectory." said Mrs. Pellowa.
The scene changed, and she came to the time when Youan was three years old. The young Youan was wearing a small black velvet dress and standing beside his mother's bed. He wanted to get closer, but was stopped by the maid: "Your Highness, don't go over there. I'm worried that you might get sick."
The queen's breathing was weak, and her eyes searched with difficulty, finally falling on little Youan.
There was reluctance and sadness in her eyes, and perhaps even a hint of regret for not being able to accompany him to grow up. She seemed to want to say something, but in the end she only moved her lips very slightly, and an almost inaudible sigh escaped. She gave a last pleading look to the Great Witch beside her, and then closed her eyes.
Little Youan opened his beautiful eyes wide. He was still young and did not fully understand the meaning of "death", but he could feel the great sadness and suffocating coldness around him.
He wanted to cry, but the etiquette officer beside him instructed him, "The Crown Prince should not cry easily." He could only bite his lower lip tightly until he could taste the hint of blood in his mouth, his small body tense.
Ye Wan's heart was broken as he watched from the side.
The scene switches again. Perhaps a year or two has passed.
The dull black and white of the palace was gradually replaced by new, lively colors. The king had a young and beautiful new queen by his side. She wore a luxurious dress and had a bright smile, but it didn't reach her eyes.
The new queen ignored him and did not love him. Only at the New Year's party, when many eyes were staring at her, would she, out of courtesy, smile and extend her hand to little Youan, trying to show closeness.
The nobles around were all watching this "harmonious" scene with smiles on their faces.
But little Youan subconsciously took a step back, his hands tightly clutching the corner of his clothes, his eyes full of vigilance and bewilderment. He couldn't understand why this arrogant woman who never paid any attention to him suddenly changed her expression.
But children are born with the ability to sense the good and evil of adults, and he did not feel any kindness from the person in front of him.
The new queen's smile froze for a moment, then became a little cold. She naturally withdrew her hand and turned to others.
The king frowned slightly, as if he was extremely displeased with his son's disrespect in public.
The etiquette officer observed his expression and quickly took him away. Little Youan stood alone on the edge of the bustle, like a small, forgotten kitten.
Ye Wan felt as if her heart was being tightly gripped by an ice-cold hand, the pain was so severe that she couldn't breathe. She finally understood why You An was somewhat distant towards others.
She felt his scars clearly.
Mrs. Perroy said, "A cold and indifferent environment cannot produce a qualified crown prince. As you can see, Euan grew up in such an environment. When he inherits the throne, he will be even more cold and indifferent than his father and unable to understand the hardships of the people. If that happens, the country will face a great disaster. This is the witch's prophecy. To prevent this from happening, the witch made the crown prince fall into a deep sleep several times."
She paused.
“But something unexpected happened.”
The gate to another world was accidentally opened by an adventurer. Many people went to travel or adventure in the other world, and then the prophecy changed.
"That's the prophecy," she said.
“When the frozen crown cannot be crowned again, when the leader’s heart is sealed by thorns and falls into an eternal sleep, hope will appear in unexpected places.”
"She does not come from a familiar land, but will cross the barriers of the world, bringing with her the wind of a foreign land, transcending all calculations and interests, and giving the leader a kiss that comes purely from the heart."
Mrs. Pellowa nodded at her and said, "We have made all the necessary preparations for your arrival. Perhaps you noticed that the letter you received on the first day here was not written by Ye Yu, but by me. Ye Yu was not very willing to let you come. Her instinctive wish is that you open a small restaurant in the world over there."
The scene changed again.
It was still a black and white space. Young Youan was reading a book in the garden. It was an ordinary summer day. Then the butler came in with a girl.
He looked up.
The world suddenly turned into color.
Ye Wan now knew what he was doing here.
Young Youan stood in front of her, looked up at her seriously, and said goodbye to her seriously: "You will come back, right?"
Ye Wan half-knelt down. You An was not even as tall as her at this moment. She extended her little finger and made a pinky promise with him: "Of course, you wait for me, I will definitely come back."
She saw herself walking in the dark streets, a crimson moon hanging high in the sky, and occasionally an owl flew over her head, making a "cooing" sound.
She held a roll of parchment in her hand and followed the signs to the entrance of Honey Lane, where there were two forks in the road. There was a signpost in front of the fork, but there was nothing written on the signpost.
"Should I go left or right?" She saw herself thinking silently.
The slightly rusty iron road sign before her suddenly bowed and spoke: "Turn left on Honey Lane." The arrow on the sign curved into a smiling face, and the rust on it fell off as it trembled. "Turn right and you will meet your true love, Prince Charming!"
Ye Wan saw a hint of confusion in her eyes in the picture, and then she turned to the left immediately in fear. She couldn't help laughing.
Then she couldn't laugh anymore.
A man came from the right fork.
He was wearing the linen shirt that he loved every day, and his smoky crystal eyes were fixed on the direction where Ye Wan left.
"Welcome back, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Then Ye Wan returned to the Tower of Thorns in an instant. She was lying in Youan's arms. His beautiful smoky crystal eyes were extremely clear at this moment, reflecting the golden halo around them. He looked at Ye Wan beside him and smiled gently.
"Ye Wan..." He whispered softly, his voice filled with strong love: "I seem to have had a very long dream, with sad past in the dream, but I am not afraid at all, because I know you will come, you will definitely come."
The light covering them began to spread outward gently like water waves, with them as the center, sweeping across the entire tower, and then flowed downward like a waterfall, instantly covering the entire tower, including the sharp thorns and brambles that hurt Ye Wan.
The terrifying, thorny brambles, in the instant they were touched by the warm light, completely lost their terrifying, sinister appearance. The dark green thorns gradually softened, and the dark branches lost their gloom and gradually retreated.
They no longer attacked Kiara and the others below the tower, but gradually stretched and grew. It was like the arrival of spring, with countless white flowers blooming from the tender green branches at a speed visible to the naked eye. The rich yet elegant fragrance of the flowers instantly spread, brightening the gloomy forest.
In the blink of an eye, the entire tower was transformed from a terrifying fortress of thorns into a vibrant and blooming hanging garden.
The friends under the tower were stunned by the sudden change and the light rising into the sky.
The light gradually faded and finally converged into Ye Wan and You An's bodies, but a faint, warm halo still remained around them, as if they had been blessed.
Ye Wan and You An stood up. They stood on the top of the tower covered with flowers. The place where her hands were scratched by thorns still had small scars and scabs.
"Does it hurt?" He looked distressed and bent down to kiss the wound.
"It doesn't hurt at all," she said with a smile.
Then she took the letter of promise to Youan, which originally read:
I promise to stay with Youan forever. - Alice
She crossed out Alice and solemnly wrote the words Ye Wan next to it.
Then she looked at him with a smile: "Let's go home."
postscript:
The royal capital of Calmet was filled with joy once again. A traveler hurriedly got off the train at the royal capital's railway station and saw countless silver-shining white doves circling gracefully in the sky. Those white doves seemed to have many pink hearts hanging on their bodies.
The traveler bought a bottle of orange juice from a roadside stall and asked the stall owner, "Why is the capital so bustling? Has Eros Festival come early?"
Many colorful confetti hearts slowly fell from the sky. The stall owner said cheerfully, "You're from a foreign land, right? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is getting married! This is great news! It's ten times more exciting than Cupid's Day!"
Both sides of the street were hung with embroidered royal roses and a cute little spatula. After all, the new queen started out by opening a tavern.
Her Royal Highness was currently in a tailor shop on Honey Lane. With a tape measure hanging around her neck, Penny jumped up and down beside Ye Wan. "Oh my God! I never dreamed that one day I would be able to sew a wedding dress for the princess, the future queen!"
Ye Wan said helplessly: "I am still far from being the queen."
After all, the king is not dead yet, although judging from his dying appearance, he should be close to death.
"Okay, dear." Grandma Katya held a cup of hot blueberry drink in her hand. She looked cheerful: "Dorothy, Penny and I spent three months sewing this wedding dress together. I thought you would like it."
This wedding dress is embroidered with silver thread, and the skirt is as light as a cloud. The skirt is even embroidered with various cute food patterns: ears of wheat, small cakes, and a little guinea pig holding a muffin.
"Okay, breathe in." Penny began to zip up her back.
"Ahhh, this is too tight. Can you please let it go a little smaller?" Ye Wan cried.
Penny wiped her sweat and said, "The amount was just right three months ago. You must have gained weight."
"Hey, I'm a gourmet, it's normal for me to gain weight." She turned her head to look at the muffin who was happily looking at herself in the mirror. Apparently, it got some luck and also got a silver-white tuxedo suit.
"Okay, stop taking pictures. Go find Youan outside the curtain for me and tell him that if I find that he doesn't look surprised when I go out, then he's dead!
”
"Squeak!" Pancake took the order and left.
You An didn't have time to look forward to the bride in the dressing room. He was pouring tea for Ye Yu. The kitchen witch with a unique personality didn't even raise her eyelids:
"Oh, when Pellowa told me that the angel from another world in the prophecy turned out to be my daughter, my heart fell."
In her hand she held a glass bottle filled with stars, all of which were given to the guests who had received warmth in the tavern.
"Obviously these friends have done a lot of good things for you in your time of crisis," said Ye Yu.
Ye Wan's father was a chubby chef. He wiped his sweat and asked You An to sit down. He was obviously not sure what to do with the son-in-law of a crown prince. "I'm sorry, there is no emperor in our place now. We had one a long time ago, but they were all overthrown. Hahahaha."
He wanted to make a joke, but soon found that the joke was not funny at all, so he could only shut his mouth in disappointment.
"With Ye Wan's help, I also felt the love of my friends." You An said gently.
He was about to say something when the curtains of the dressing room slowly opened to the sides and Penny came to call him cheerfully, "Your Highness, your bride has changed her clothes."
Ye Wan lifted the hem of her skirt and carefully walked out from the hazy glow. The long hem of her wedding dress spread out, like white moonlight falling on the ground.
The pearls and gems on her body emitted tiny rays of light, giving her a gentle halo.
Ye Wan looked up at him, his eyes shining, as if to say: "Hey, I'm here to bring you happiness."
Youan's footsteps stopped where they were, his Adam's apple moved, and he seemed to have forgotten how to breathe. She looked like a sweet little cake against the white veil.
Seeing his stupid look, Ye Wan puffed her lips: "What's wrong? Doesn't it look good?"
The next second, he almost ran over, wrapped his arms tightly around her waist and lifted her up.
He sensed the faint fragrance of Ye Wan: "Hey!"
His voice was trembling unsteadily. He lowered his head and nuzzled her nose. "If this were last century, I would have become a tyrant, ridden down on horseback, and snatched you away to hide in the castle."
She rubbed her face against his cheek: "I am willing to be hidden by you. We have a lot of things to do in the castle, such as planting half of the back garden with flowers and the other half with vegetables, and then we can bake delicious little cakes in your castle..."
Youan leaned forward to kiss her, but was brought back to his senses by a loud cough.
A bunch of people around looked at him and smiled.
Youan put her down, looked down at her, and then whispered in her ear: "It's okay, we still have a long future."
The royal family was already very busy because both Youan and Ye Wan insisted on living in Honey Lane instead of the palace. They had to replan the route and strictly surround Honey Lane, but without affecting the normal business of the residents of Honey Lane.
The tavern is currently managed by Ye Yu. She disliked the small size of the tavern and was too lazy to hire someone to expand it, so she simply planted a magic pea on the ground. The pea grew to ten stories high overnight and a large platform blossomed on the top. Ye Yu then placed a dozen more tables there.
Then Success received a letter from Owl, saying that she had built an illegal structure on Honey Lane and asked her to pay the fine when she had time.
Ye Yu was very angry: "I am the princess's mother."
"Oh, the law is like this. Even if the princess herself breaks the law, she still needs to pay a fine." The official who followed the owl wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"By the way, the princess herself has a fine for hiring mermaids and zombies as waitresses. Please pay it as well."
Lorelai, who was sitting on the side eating a large portion of salmon, turned her head and said, "Oh, so I should be the mermaid who was hired in violation of the rules."
"That zombie is me," Ophelia said happily.
For Ye Wan's wedding, she sneaked back from the underworld. No one over there dared to say anything, after all, she had a powerful vampire lover.
"Yes, it should be you, dear, but I must say, you are the most beautiful zombie I have ever seen." Dracula sat aside, smiled and nodded to her.
Ye Wan's room was also bustling with activity. All her friends had been invited over. Annie and Emma were playing flying chess. "I took a walk down the street the day before yesterday, and the water in the fountain had turned pink."
"I can't believe I actually met Her Royal Highness the Princess. I only saw this kind of story in storybooks when I was a child." Anne's red hair exploded with excitement.
Emma was very calm: "Hey, there's no need to get so excited about such a small matter."
Anne stared at her.
Emma put down the chess piece in her hand uncomfortably and said helplessly: "Okay."
Then she smiled excitedly. "Oh, my mom told me to stay calm so as not to be rude, but I really can't keep calm. Merlin, I mean, this is, after all, I mean, my best friends are actually the prince and princess, this is too much like a fairy tale."
She and Anne hugged each other excitedly.
Kiara sat speechlessly, peeling an apple with her machete, and then discussed with Ye Wan: "I'm really not used to wearing those lace-embroidered dresses. Can I wear pants to the ceremony? I think it's okay."
"Oh, then someone will be disappointed." Lily gave an unfathomable smile.
It was late at night and everyone had left. Ye Wan was lying on the bed, unable to sleep, when a small stone was thrown in through the window.
She happily sat up and ran to the window, looking down. Sure enough, Youan was standing there. He had changed into a snow-white dress and his golden hair was combed meticulously, but his usually calm smoky crystal eyes were filled with happiness and love.
"Have you forgotten that the bride and groom cannot meet on the day before their wedding?" She couldn't help laughing, and looked at him foolishly with her head down.
"I know, but I can't help but want to see you." He took out a ladder from the backyard and slowly walked to her side: "I am like a sincere believer, climbing over the wall here late at night, just to ask for a goodnight kiss from the goddess of night, so that I can sleep peacefully."
Ye Wan moved her face closer, and just as he was about to kiss her, she dodged back.
The latter was not annoyed, but smiled and said, "Come on, it's almost dawn, I will only kiss you once more."
This time, Ye Wan really leaned forward and gave him a sweet kiss.
"Good night." After he kissed her, he kissed her other cheek reluctantly and then left quickly.
The wedding day soon arrived. The first performers were not the royal musicians, but the ghost band led by old Hans and Leo. They spent three months preparing three wedding marches with very moving melodies for Ye Wan and Youan. They were lively and romantic, and included various instruments such as lyre, piano, and violin.
Old Hans still remembered how excited he was when Ye Wanlai invited him: "A royal wedding! Goddess of Music! This is such a great honor for us."
Obviously, the final effect was also very good, and the entire capital was immersed in the ocean of music.
Following the ghost band came the ceremonial team, who scattered many flower petals on the road. They also had wedding candies prepared by Ye Wan in beautiful little bags, which contained tea from the East, fruit candies, and small crown cookies baked by Leo.
Leo did nothing else for a month but was busy baking cookies. After he swore that he would never make these crown cookies again, people came to him to order them when they heard that they could get the same ones as the royal family. Now he may have to bake crown cookies for a whole year, and he is very upset.
The focus of the crowd was, of course, the wedding carriage that slowly drove towards the cathedral, drawn by four huge and docile white horses with fur as shiny as stars. The carriage was open, allowing everyone to clearly see the newlyweds.
Youan was wearing the same neat white military uniform that he had worn last night. His short golden hair was combed meticulously. His eyes were as bright as stars, and his hands were tightly holding the hands of the bride beside him.
Ye Wan was wearing a dreamy wedding dress. The hem of the dress covered the entire carriage seat, and the various small foods embroidered on the hem looked very suitable for her lovely face.
And the one in her hair was not an expensive diamond crown, but a crown woven from fresh flowers and small gems, which was fresh and chic.
The crown was woven for her by the children of the orphanage. They searched for two days in the Moonlight Forest and picked the most beautiful flowers in the forest. The crown made her even more beautiful.
Her face was flushed with happiness. She waved to the cheering crowd around her from time to time. Her smile was warm and sincere, and her hand was tightly holding Youan's hand.
"She is so beautiful!" The crowd kept exclaiming.
"Look! The way His Highness looks at her! Oh, my heart melts!"
"I told you that Your Highness doesn't go to the tavern just to eat!"
"Nonsense, do you think His Highness is a good-for-nothing?"
As the newlyweds entered the cathedral, the bells outside the auditorium rang out. But it was not just the bells that jingled, even the figures in the murals on the cathedral's dome seemed to be smiling in blessing.
"Barbara?" Ye Wan asked in surprise.
Barbara popped her head out of a picture frame while carrying her luggage. "Oh, thank goodness I made it."
The wedding ceremony was simple, heartwarming, and touching. When the Archbishop declared them husband and wife, Euan, without waiting for a cue, passionately kissed his bride. The crowd erupted in thunderous applause and cheers!
As night fell, the wedding of the century was still not over. Yuan did not want this grand wedding banquet to be held in the dull hall of the palace, he preferred to hold it in Cinderella Square.
So the square was filled with long dining tables and various beautiful magical flowers, piled with all kinds of delicious dishes, not only those made by the palace chefs but also those brought by the people spontaneously.
On the stage in the central square, You An pulled Ye Wan to dance. They had taken off their heavy dresses from the daytime and put on light clothes and danced happily among the crowd.
"I love you." He looked down at her, his eyes full of happy smiles.
"I love you too." Ye Wan said.
Huge fireworks rose into the sky in the night, lighting up the square.
Smoke from taverns lingered in the streets.
The crown's kiss landed lightly beside the spatula.
The bells in the square were ringing.
The fairy tale of the princess and prince is long.
