Chapter 67 Puppet Girl vs. Magician (3)
On the high stage, soft lights shone on the beautiful girl, and the rest of the girl was pitch black.
She kept spinning on her toes, and sometimes lowered her head, revealing a slender neck, which was so beautiful that it made people palpitate.
Behind the scenes, the magician with a light scar on his face and a look of hostility in his eyes was constantly pulling the silk thread and directing her to dance.
That day, after the prime minister came out of the dungeon, he weighed the pros and cons and immediately went to see the king. The king came forward and asked the princess to release him from the dungeon. But his face was also ruined.
If it weren't for the prime minister, he wouldn't have to enter the palace and wouldn't have suffered such a disaster. From then on, he completely hated the prime minister. Of course, he no longer had the same admiration for the princess as before. If there was anything he really wanted, it was to torture her. After all, she was the one who had him thrown into prison.
Thinking of these things, hatred filled his heart, and he suddenly pulled hard, and the spinning girl suddenly knelt on the ground.
"Ah..." There were exclamations from the audience.
It was these exclamations that made the magician realize that he was performing at the King's birthday party. He quickly pulled the silk thread, and the girl performing on the stage slowly rotated her arms and began to sing a moving song.
"Ah, I was so scared. I almost thought she was going to fall down here and not get up."
"Yes, I was also scared. But think about it, if she hadn't fallen, we wouldn't have noticed her liveliness. When she fell just now, she was just like a real person."
"Yes, look at how smooth her performance is. You can't tell that she is a puppet."
"You only noticed her performance, didn't you notice her appearance? Her appearance is even more beautiful than the princess in our palace."
"No, it should be said that her appearance is comparable to that of the princess."
The ladies who were invited to attend the King's birthday party, dressed in luxurious clothes and with exquisite makeup, whispered to each other.
"Yes, what a beautiful puppet girl, there is no difference between her and a real person." The prime minister next to the king naturally heard the conversation of the noble ladies, and whispered soft words beside the king's ear.
"Yes." The king remembered the scene of her playing the harp in the flowers just now, and his dim old eyes flashed with amazing light, and the whole person became younger.
When he was young, he was just an unpopular prince. Later, he was loved by the daughter of the prime minister at that time, and was supported by the prime minister to sit on the throne of the king.
When the old prime minister was still alive, he had been suppressed by his queen. Not to mention favoring women, even the time for attending court meetings was controlled. It was not until the birth of the princess and the death of the old prime minister that the queen gradually relaxed her control over him.
When he was old, he was accustomed to the queen's control mode and had no energy to favor other women. At this time, the queen died of an acute illness, and he was very sad for a while.
This was the first time in so many years that he had a heart from the bottom of his heart to monopolize beauty.
"King, all the good things in this world should be yours. How can a commoner have them? Isn't this a loss of his fortune?" The prime minister flattered him very tactfully.
He has been doing this since the old prime minister passed away.
The king smiled and said, "Indeed. The best things in this world should be placed in my palace."
The princess, who was sitting under the king's throne, sneered when she saw the prime minister's lackey-like appearance.
When her mother was still alive, her father, the king, was honest and dutiful, and did not dare to cross the line in terms of luxury and enjoyment. Even the prime minister, the villain, kept instigating him. Now, the prime minister caters to her father's enjoyment in every way. She, the king, also accepts everything. Her father, the king, who
had lived with her for 24 years, only took a glance at her, and she knew that he had taken a fancy to the puppet girl who was performing.
Even if the puppet girl looked like a real person, she was just a puppet without emotions. It was a pity that her father, the king, would be moved!
Next to the seat, a noblewoman who was somewhat friendly with the princess leaned over to praise the magician and the puppet girl for their wonderful performances.
The princess raised the wine glass filled with fine wine, took a big sip, and said slowly: "The performance of the puppet girl on the stage is indeed vivid, but in the final analysis, she is just a puppet being pulled by strings. If I were this puppet, I would definitely pull out the strings on my body and be a free person."
The noblewoman seemed to have detected some of the princess's thoughts, and she shrank back in fear.
The prime minister glanced at the princess's indifferent expression, and his heart was filled with hatred for being humiliated. He continued to fan the flames in the king's ear.
"Dear king, the princess is already 24 this year, not to mention that she has not married yet. She always contradicts you. You don't know that she knew that the magician was going to perform at your birthday party, and she caught the magician and beat him up a few days ago."
"Is that true?" The king shrugged his sparse eyebrows and stared at the princess in the audience.
Since the death of the queen, his daughter has been increasingly disobedient to his discipline. If she really did such a thing, he would certainly not let her off easily.
"Do I dare to lie to you?" The prime minister immediately said, "The princess really doesn't take you seriously."
Just at this time, the princess felt bored and got up to leave the hall.
The king stared at her back as she left, and his beard was almost curled up in anger. "She..." He
dared to leave without permission before his birthday banquet was over. It seemed that what the prime minister said must be true.
"Dear king, we should not be influenced by the princess. It is not worth it to get angry and hurt your body. Come on, let's continue watching the performance. Now it's a duet solo." Seeing that he had successfully provoked the king's anger, the prime minister's hatred was relieved a lot, and he also had the mind to watch the performance.
It must be said that the performance of the magician and the puppet girl was really wonderful. Everyone in the hall was concentrating on staring at the moving figures of the two people on the stage. After the performance, many people were still immersed in the previous dance. After more than ten seconds, sparse applause rang out.
The best things in the world should be owned by oneself. The king was determined to get the puppet girl.
The prime minister paid attention to the king's expression and knew that his arrangement had won the king's favor, so he was also very happy.
The magician did not see the princess in the audience. When he retreated behind the scenes, he turned back and secretly glanced at the king's position. There was amazing ambition in his eyes.
He was 100% confident in his performance. The king must want to get his time.
