Chapter 71 Puppet Girl vs Magician (7)
Early in the morning.
"Dear King, I am here as promised." Shi Yi wore a large cloak, held a box and stood at the door, his voice deliberately pretending to be a man's low and hoarse.
"Come in." The king thought it was the magician and ordered the guard to open the door.
Since he had a chat with the magician last night, he was so excited that he did not sleep all night, waiting for the surprise of the puppet girl.
Shi Yi stood in front of the king, her wide cloak covered her whole body, and his facial features could not be seen clearly.
The king did not care about his dress, he just wanted to see his beautiful puppet girl as soon as possible, and asked anxiously: "Where is she?" Shi Yi
pointed at himself mischievously.
If the king noticed her, then she would participate in the unboxing and explanation. If not, the poor magician could only die in such an unknown and tragic way.
"I'm talking about where the puppet girl is?" The king was a little impatient and repeated it.
"In the box." Shi Yi put the box on the ground, "Please open it yourself."
Shi Yi was a little frustrated that he failed to be the first commentator to open the box.
"Go out." The king thought that the box contained his puppet girl, and waved his hand to drive Shi Yi away.
He just wanted to monopolize the beauty of the puppet girl.
Shi Yi's face covered by the cloak was not smiling. Since the king had given the order, she had to leave.
The door of the room was closed, and the king approached the box step by step with a throbbing heart, putting on the most friendly expression, ready to wake up his sleeping puppet girl baby.
"Ah!..." The king's scream came from the room, "Magician...Magician..."
In the box in front of him, the magician had a short piece of cloth around his waist, almost naked, with silk threads wrapped around his bones and joints, a peaceful face, and even a strange red at the corner of his mouth.
The magician was turned into a puppet!
"Dear king, what's wrong?" The guard who heard the exclamation and rushed in took the initiative to ask.
"Magician... the one wearing a cloak just now, bring it back to me." The gray-haired king roared like a wild beast.
Who is this person, so bold? He actually dared to make his chief magician into a puppet. And his puppet girl is probably on this person.
"Yes, sir." The guards retreated in an orderly manner.
The king collapsed directly to the ground, gasping for breath, holding the few remaining hairs on his head with both hands, "Ah...ah...ah"
The feeling of a living person suddenly turning into a puppet and dying in front of you is really hard to describe. He just felt that he was really unlucky this year. First, his only princess won the unanimous support of the young people cultivated by the old prime minister, then the princess gradually stopped listening to her father's discipline, and now even the things she wanted were replaced by others.
While the guards in the palace were constantly looking for Shi Yi with a cloak, she was eating cherries in the princess's bedroom, one by one, and she was very happy.
"Did you really make him into a puppet?" Although she received the tip-off, the princess still couldn't believe that the girl who looked weak and harmless in front of her would have such courage.
With her mouth full of cherries, Shi Yi nodded and made a vague sound, "Hmm."
The princess suddenly admired her.
Dare to love, dare to hate, dare to act, such qualities are lacking in many people.
"Puff", Shi Yi spit out the big cherry pit in his mouth and tilted his head to look at her, "Do you think I'm terrible now?"
"I think it's okay." The princess took the initiative to lift the cherry bowl and placed it in front of her.
The magician let down such a good puppet girl, and his fate was all his own fault.
"You have to be careful with the prime minister, he seems to be towards you? Hmm? He wants to marry you to a man who can't be any worse." Shi Yi shook the cherry stem and looked at her with some ambiguity.
"He secretly gave me a valuable gift before, trying to please me, but I rejected him." Seeing that she was eating so happily, the princess also picked up a cherry and threw it into her mouth, "I have hated such a flattering villain since I was a child."
"No wonder he looks at you with such hatred, as if he can't wait to see you get into trouble." Shi Yi put his palm under her mouth and motioned her to spit out the cherry pit.
The princess had been served with fine clothes and delicious food since she was a child, but she still felt a little uncomfortable to spit the cherry pit into the palm of the girl she liked, so she shook her head and refused. Shi Yi no longer forced it.
"He is just a clown, he won't be able to jump around for much longer."
Without the cherry pit in her mouth, the princess spoke much more clearly.
The king's health was not good to begin with, and the doctor had told him many times that he needed to quit sugar and salt and rest more, but the sick man didn't take it to heart at all, and his taste was still heavy on sugar and salt. His body couldn't hold on for long, and coupled with the sudden fright tonight, it would not take long for him to abdicate safely.
There is only one heir in this country, and the throne will always be hers.
"You don't seem to have any feelings for your king father?" Seeing that she was a little absent-minded, Shi Yi spoke after a long while.
"He doesn't love my mother, nor does he love me. Why should I have feelings for him?" The princess asked her with a smile, but there was still a trace of loneliness in her eyes.
When she was young, she also longed for fatherly love and a happy family. Unfortunately, she was destined not to have it.
"It doesn't matter, you can still have other loves. For example, love." Shi Yi put his left hand on her shoulder and wished sincerely: "You will definitely find your destined other half."
"Love? Can I still have a pure and beautiful fairy-tale love?" The princess herself couldn't believe it.
She was already twenty-four years old. In the whole kingdom, she was the oldest unmarried woman. Her king father was also ashamed of not getting married at such an old age.
Other active men just saw that she was the future queen or her beauty. Who would like such a cold and heartless self?
"I will." Shi Yi held her hand in his own, "In the future, your man will hold your hand tightly in his like I do. No matter life or death, you will always be together."
"As you wish." The princess smiled and no longer intended to talk about this topic.
She preferred to be alone rather than being let down and betrayed. At least this way she wouldn't be moved or disappointed.
Shi Yi suddenly wanted to stay, to watch her ascend the throne in peace, to become a queen admired by everyone, and then leave.
For some reason, Shi Yi was very sure that she would be able to become such a person.
Such a trust seemed to be engraved in the blood?
It was a very strange and irresistible feeling.
