The captain of the guard thought for a moment and replied, "Witch, I don't understand why you're doing this. The Queen seems suspicious, but you're not much better. I will pass your words on to the King, but I can't guarantee what the final outcome will be. Can you release us now?"
“Of course I’d be happy to help. Actually, you could have just stood there and watched me capture this hunter.” Linghu Lan used her dagger to loosen the ropes binding the group.
The captain of the guards blushed. "It is true that I did not listen to you, but it was my duty."
He got up from the ground, pointed his sword at the hunter, and said, "Did the Queen say what to do with the fire boots after she got them?"
"Your Majesty, the Queen said that after I get the Fire Boots, I should throw them into the sea. She doesn't want to see them at all." The hunter looked at the tip of his sword, afraid that it would pierce his flesh.
“Very good, I can basically confirm that the Queen is indeed very afraid of the Fire Boots. This at least indirectly proves the witch’s words. However, we still can’t be sure that the Queen is a witch unless we actually get our hands on the Fire Boots and have the Queen try them on. We’re setting off now to find the Seven Dwarfs.” The captain of the guard looked at Linghu Lan, his attitude having changed significantly.
"What should we do with this hunter?" a guard asked.
“He is a very important witness. We can’t leave him here. Wild animals will eat her.”
The hunter's voice trembled as he hurriedly said, "Yes, take me with you. I promise I won't cause you any trouble. Don't leave me here alone."
"Alright! Let's take him with us, but I'm really worried that he'll slow us down. We've already been delayed long enough."
Linghu Lan thought for a moment, then pointed her magic wand, "Turn into a parrot that can't fly."
With a "bang!", the magic took effect.
A brightly colored parrot appeared at the hunter's location.
The guards were stunned.
"You are truly a powerful witch!"
Linghu Lan smiled and said, "I am self-taught; I am unworthy of such praise!"
"..."
Having resolved the hunter's problem, the group continued into the forest. With a shared understanding, the guards were less resistant to Linghu Lan and began to express their doubts to her.
"Actually, I really can't believe the Queen is a witch. You know, she's been here for a very, very long time. After the original Queen died, it was she who saved the King from the shadow of losing his wife. She is so beautiful and kind that no one can feel any sense of offense towards her. Forgive me for being frank, but I really can't understand why this is?"
"Did the king and the former queen have a good relationship?"
"Ah! Of course, the original queen was a princess from another country. The prince fell in love with her at first sight. Their marriage was a perfect match, and there was no one in the world more compatible than a prince and princess. They were extremely happy together. Later, Snow White was born, and they should have been even happier, but the queen suddenly died. That was truly the saddest year for the entire kingdom."
A good match!
Of course!
The guard inadvertently revealed the true nature of marriage, yet he himself was completely unaware of it.
Linghu Lan asked casually, "Do the new queen and king have a good relationship?"
"Of course, the new queen is the most beautiful woman in the world. Who wouldn't love such a beautiful person?"
