Chapter 18 Blessings

After hearing Rhine's words, the king and queen were stunned.

The 12 witches were stunned.

Especially the Violet Fairy, the leader of the 12 witches, was extremely shocked.

This magician who looks so young knows such a warrior?

Recalling that Rhine had previously demonstrated magic that surpassed her own, the Violet Fairy suspected that the boy in front of her was not as young as he looked.

Could it be that this is an old wizard who has lived for centuries pretending to be young?

"Lord Rhine, are you telling the truth? It turns out you know such a powerful warrior! Why didn't you tell me earlier?" The old king's eyes widened in surprise.

This white-haired old man no longer has any of the dignity of a king.

He grasped this last straw, grabbed Rhine's collar, and asked excitedly: "Please tell me, Lord Rhine, where is the warrior? Which kingdom is he in now? "I want to hire him, even if I have to empty the entire country's treasury of gold!

“Oh, by the way, I can also marry my daughter to him and make him the new master of the kingdom!

"I am willing to give him the entire kingdom as a gift, as long as he can help me defeat the black witch and lift the curse."

Rhine looked calm, remained silent for a moment, and said calmly:

"Your Majesty, I want to confirm with you: Do you really want to meet this warrior and are willing to pay any price, even if it means making him the future master of the kingdom?"

When the old king heard the question, he was stunned for half a second.

Then,

The increasingly weathered old man nodded firmly, his eyes full of emptiness.

If the curse can't be lifted, the kingdom will be destroyed anyway, so what's the point?

Rhine smiled.

"Your Majesty, since you have made up your mind, let me take you to see the warrior..."

Under the gaze of the monarch, queen, and witches, Rhine strode forward.

One step, two steps, the young magician walked to the cradle of the little princess.

Following the blessings of the 12 witches, Rhine opened her arms and offered the 13th and final blessing to the "Sleeping Beauty" in her cradle:

“Your Highness Princess Aurora, has gathered together the recipients of the twelve blessings.

"I grant you three gifts: the gift of battle, the courage to fight, and the power to practice justice.

"I wish you to become the great warrior I just described, defeat the black witch Maleficent, and end the curse on you with your own hands!"

Rhine turned around gently.

"The above is my blessing to Princess Aurora."

Behind him, in the cradle and swaddling clothes, a light so bright that one could not open one's eyes bloomed, indicating that the blessing had been given.

Deathly silence.

Both the king and queen, the princess' parents, and the 12 witches were stunned at this moment, as if they had turned into stone statues.

You can't blame them for being stupid and not thinking about it in this way.

It was Rhine's approach that completely overturned the usual thinking patterns of these fairy tale characters.

Is this... a blessing usually given to a princess? I've never heard of such an example before! Rhine looked very natural, as if he had just done something that was a matter of course.

But the astonishment of the crowd made him speechless.

Isn't it natural for you to do things yourself?

Now the only resource that could possibly help them fight against the Black Witch is the last chance to bless Aurora.

Blessings, like curses, have self-fulfilling causal levels.

Since the black witch can cast an inescapable curse, we can also take advantage of this and use blessings to preset a good future.

Compared to the passive defensive blessing of "the princess will not die, but will only fall into a deep sleep", wouldn't it be a hundred times better to simply set the blessing as "the princess will kill the black witch and lift the curse"? The king recovered from his shock and asked in surprise: "Sir Rhine, what are you doing?"

Rhine smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the future Princess Aurora is the perfect warrior I just mentioned.

“The witches’ blessing bestowed all the positive qualities of the human world upon Her Royal Highness Princess Aurora.

"Her Royal Highness has been blessed with a healthy body that will never be sick or tired, so she can become the most valiant warrior.

“Her Royal Highness has been gifted with a photographic memory and an amazing talent for learning. She can easily master the pinnacle of swordsmanship and even magic.

“Her Royal Highness is blessed with a voice that moves the heart and a charm that captivates everyone, so she can become a commander who makes soldiers follow her in life and death, and a shining banner among thousands of troops.

"If she were present, morale would be high; if she did not fall, the army would not be defeated.

"Your Highness is also blessed with 'invulnerability to swords, fire, and water'. Only she can remain unharmed by the dragon's flames and pierce the sharp blade into the dragon's heart!

"With the blessing I just bestowed upon you, Your Highness Aurora will surely become the greatest warrior in the kingdom, kill the black witch Maleficent, and personally lift the curse of being pricked by a spindle at the age of 15!"

The old king was stunned for a moment, and carefully recalled the specific details of Rhine's description of the so-called "warrior".

It really does correspond perfectly to every blessing the witches have given to the princess before!

Although he found it surprisingly reasonable, the old king couldn't help but roar in his heart: "Is this even possible?"
