Chapter 233: Don't Covet the Dragon's Daughter 1

[A long, long time ago, on that mysterious western continent——]

Mingnan said unhappily: [Get to the point! ]

205 paused, and then spoke quickly: [There is a kingdom called the Kingdom of Sith, there is an evil dragon whose name is unknown, and there is a princess named Mingnan. Yes, that is you.]

Mingnan: [……]

It's as if you said nothing. You are amazing.

She slowly opened her eyes and sat up from the old wooden bed. At first glance, the house was bare.

A row of question marks slowly appeared in Mingnan's mind, [Are you sure I am a princess? ]

205: [That... princess who lives among the common people is still a princess. ]

Mingnan Fu'e: [Don't tell me, I got the script of Huanzhu. ]

Before 205 could explain, someone knocked on the door.

“Boom boom boom—”

The old wooden door shook fragilely, shaking off some wood chips that slowly fell under Mingnan's gaze.

Mingnan: “…”

She finally understood that she was not living among the people, but in a slum.

She looked down and made sure she was dressed properly before opening the door.

Standing outside the door was a group of people dressed in gorgeous and even somewhat ostentatious clothes.

The leader was a middle-aged woman in her thirties. She had her hands clasped in front of her, her back straight, an extraordinary aura, her lips tightly pursed, and she looked very serious.

She first looked at Mingnan without hesitation, frowned, and looked past her to the room. The wrinkles between her eyebrows deepened, showing her disgust at all.

Mingnan raised his eyebrows and asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

The woman glanced at her and moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but then she suppressed her words for some reason.

She lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed gently, saluting Mingnan, "Hello, I'm Salia, the head maid of the queen."

The guards behind her followed suit and saluted.

But his actions were perfunctory, and it was obvious that he didn't take her seriously at all.

Mingnan just watched their performance quietly without saying anything.

Salia stared at her for a while, wanting to wait for her to ask something before continuing, but Mingnan refused to speak and left her there.

After staring at each other for a while, Mingnan yawned and said, "If you're fine, I'll close the door~"

205: [Host, take it easy. Don’t make me as angry as a pufferfish. Hehe, it won’t explode if I poke it, right? ]

Mingnan: [I hate people who take advantage of others’ power and act like a traitor. I’m so mad at them, haha~]

Salia's expression kept changing, and from the look in her eyes, it was obvious that she wanted to curse.

As the head maid of the queen, she was flattered wherever she went. Even the ministers had to give her some face when they saw her. But today, she was given a cold shoulder by a little girl!

She couldn't swallow this breath, and her tone was even colder when she spoke again, "You are Mingnan, right?"

"I don't know what door you are knocking on?" Mingnan asked back.

Salia: “…”

The guards at the back gasped, looked at each other and dared not say a word.

Salia took a deep breath and gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, Miss Mingnan, I am here to take you back to the palace on the orders of the king and queen. Please come with me."

Mingnan asked knowingly, "Take me back to the palace?"

Salia: “Yes.”

"Is that so? I thought you were here to confiscate my property. You scared me. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

She walked straight to Salia. Salia was stunned for a moment and stepped back subconsciously. Mingnan brushed past her and ordered, "Lead the way."

Salia: “???”

No, why is she so crazy?

…

The group rode into the palace in a grand carriage.

The palace was magnificent, with a red carpet stretching from the entrance to the throne in the front.

Salia led Mingnan in, and reminded him sarcastically as they walked, "Remember to be polite when you meet the king and queen later. Don't leave them with a bad impression of being rude and uneducated."

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask, and don't interrupt the king and queen when they are talking, or you will be punished."

Although it was just a reminder, from her tone, it seemed that she was looking forward to Mingnan recklessly angering the king and queen so that she could be severely punished by them and vent her anger.

Mingnan was too lazy to pay attention to her and his eyes were fixed on the two people sitting at the top.

One left and one right, one male and one female.

The man looked to be in his forties, and the woman in her early thirties.

Both of them wore exquisite golden crowns on their heads, and their demeanor was the same, as if they were superior. They looked at everyone with lowered brows and a hint of indifference.

Next to the woman stood a pretty and delicate girl with clear and clean eyes. Like a lively little deer, she looked at the gray-faced Mingnan curiously.

"King, Queen, Princess El, Mingnan is here."

Salia stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

Mingnan stood behind her, not moving.

The king frowned and asked, "Why don't you greet me?"

The queen pursed her lips, turned away her eyes, and looked displeased.

Mingnan smiled and asked in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "I don't know what kind of etiquette should I perform. Should I perform a full etiquette like ordinary people, or a half etiquette like the people in the palace?"

When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned and looked over in unison.

Mingnan did not dodge or evade, just let them watch.

The king moved his lips and waved his hands, "Forget it, let's forget it this time."

Mingnan smiled, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Come closer."

The king raised his chin at her.

Mingnan walked closer. The king looked at her for a moment with a complicated expression, "You look a lot like your mother."

"Your Majesty knows my mother?"

"Of course I know you. You are Her Majesty and her daughter."

The queen suddenly interrupted with a false smile and said, "Didn't Salia tell you?"

Salia said awkwardly: "I didn't have time. The princess...left in a hurry."

The queen raised her delicate eyebrows and said, "Then let me tell you. Your Majesty didn't know of your existence before. It was only under the guidance of the wizard that he found you a few days ago..."

Mingnan raised his hand to interrupt her and smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I don't want to know how you found me. Just tell me why you came to me."

Queen: “…”

It was the first time she met such a direct person, and she was at a loss for words.

She gave the king an awkward look.

The king took a deep breath, frowned and remained silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Indeed, something has happened. The evil dragon in the Endless Forest in the west has awakened, and we need to send a princess to appease the dragon."

Mingnan understood immediately that what she took was not the script of Return of the Condor Heroes, but the script of Substitute Bride.

She looked at Al standing next to the queen and asked deliberately, "Isn't there one here?"

The queen's face turned pale. "El is the treasure of your majesty and me. How can we give him to the dragon?"

"Oh - so you think of me now, this broken-down person?"

Mingnan sneered, "What if I don't agree?"

The king stroked the armrest of the throne and said coldly, "Then there is only one way to go, which is death."

He thought Mingnan would be scared, question him, and collapse. He even thought about how to deal with it. Unexpectedly, Mingnan just looked at him and nodded, "Oh, go ahead."

King: “???”

No, your reaction is a little too calm, isn't it? Do you agree to this?
