Chapter 29 A Monster in a Girl's Skin
Aurora was captured in the middle of the night and told by a strange man that the kingdom was about to be destroyed, but she did not show any fear.
Although she was quite wary of the soldiers in front of her, Aurora still maintained enough elegance and politeness. Her manners and words showed a maturity that did not match her age. Her actions did not at all look like a little princess who had never left the palace and was as pure and ignorant as a blank sheet of paper.
"Why do you say the kingdom will be destroyed within a few years? Is there any evidence?" she asked.
The soldier laughed:
“You may have heard of the country of Ende, a neighboring country that has always been eyeing our land and supplies, a powerful military empire and a tyrannical bandit country!
"I used to serve in the army. A few months ago, my companions and I captured an Ender noble. He was invited as a foreign guest to attend a grand event in the kingdom more than ten years ago.
"According to him, at that event, the black witch Maleficent cursed our Rose Kingdom, and wanted the kingdom to be destroyed in a dozen years! From now on, it is estimated that there are only five or six years left!
“When that time comes, the land of the kingdom will be covered with thorns and thistles, and everyone will bleed from all seven orifices and die miserably.
"But the king has deceived us, deceived all of us! He has kept the secret from the people."
Obviously, the soldier didn't know that Aurora in front of him was the source of the curse.
“The noble also said that Ende is considering revealing the secret and telling the people of our country the truth about the curse.
"Once everyone knows the secret of the curse, the whole kingdom will be in chaos. Everything will become a mess.
"But don't be afraid. I can protect you and take you out of the kingdom ahead of time."
At this point, the soldier tried to straighten himself up, trying to show his masculinity.
To be honest, the soldier was skeptical about the captive noble's statement, but this did not stop him from telling the princess as an established fact.
He believed that a terrible crisis could make the ignorant girl panic, and this was his chance to win the princess' heart!
Even if the girl doesn't believe him at all, he has a tinderbox and can take her away by force! Anyway, there is plenty of time to build a relationship in the future.
After listening to the soldier's moving speech, Aurora remained calm and skeptical.
The soldier felt a little impatient and added, "It was the princes and nobles who angered the horrible black witch, but we have to bear the disaster.
"Let me be king, I will do better and will never dare to offend a powerful witch!"
Unexpectedly, this time Aurora refuted righteously: "Even if everything you said is true, the culprit should be Maleficent, the black witch who cursed the kingdom! "If the king committed a crime, it should be the crime of cowardice.
"He should declare war on the black witch. Even if he has to mobilize the entire country's army and hire all the magicians he can, he must kill the culprit and end the curse. Even if everyone dies in battle, it is better than sitting and waiting for the end of the world to come."
For 10 years, Aurora, who was raised by Rhine and the 12 witches, deeply loves this land and this country.
She likes to listen to the sound of gurgling streams, loves the people in the alleys, plays ball with the children in the town (and no one can play better than her!), explores the kingdom's long history from books with the scholars who are her teachers, and is teleported to many famous places in the kingdom by her magical mentor Rhine.
Although she was unsure whether what the stranger said was true, she still felt anger from the bottom of her heart when she heard that the kingdom was about to fall into chaos and be completely destroyed in a few years.
The soldier was stunned.
He didn't expect that this little girl, who was as beautiful as a flower and less than his waist, would refute him in such a harsh tone.
He also said terrible things like "gather the whole country's strength to kill the black witch" and "it's better to die in battle than to sit and wait for death"!
The soldier felt a little uncomfortable.
There was something frightening and dangerous about this stunningly beautiful blonde girl.
Why did she refute herself and say such things?
Isn't she the princess who has been hidden in the palace since birth and has never been exposed to the world? No, it shouldn't be like this.
She should have been obedient. After hearing him talk about the future of the kingdom, she trembled with fear and snuggled in his arms.
Then I can stroke her soft golden hair and comfort the trembling princess in my arms!
The soldier felt a little unhappy: he was an adult, a soldier who had experienced life and death battles, and a mere little girl had no right to reason with him.
"I'm doing this for your own good, my beautiful princess - if you really are a princess. When the kingdom is truly in chaos, you'll understand."
After saying this, the soldier ordered the giant dog next to him, whose eyes were as big as teacups: "Take this girl and get out of here!"
The soldiers had used dogs to deal with robbers on the road before, and they knew how terrible these three dogs were! They were extremely strong, their skin was harder than rock, and their bones were stronger than steel.
The soldiers even suspected that just three dogs were enough to defeat the king's guards - the morale of an ordinary army would collapse immediately when encountering three such monsters. He could become the new king at any time if he wanted to.
The dog opened its huge mouth, which was as big as a large jar, and pounced on the blonde Aurora, trying to take her away by force! Unexpectedly, this little girl, who was no taller than the soldier's waist, was very agile and dodged the dog's action by skillfully moving to the left.
Aurora's movements were so fast that they left an afterimage in the air.
"ah?"
The soldier shuddered in surprise.
The girl's tumbling movements were so familiar, as if she had practiced them a thousand times. Even he couldn't see clearly.
What's going on?
Isn't she the beautiful princess? Why does she have such outstanding skills? As a true soldier, he knew very well that neither he nor his colleagues in the team had such skills!
"It's okay, it's okay, she's just a little girl. At most, she was a little more agile. Would I be afraid of a little girl?"
The soldier comforted himself and instinctively stepped back, putting some distance between himself and Aurora.
The girl's movements were very familiar, like a soldier who had been on the battlefield for a long time. She used the momentum of rolling to the left to stick to the wall.
The soldier's eyes widened, and he suddenly understood the purpose of the blonde girl's action! His sword was hanging on the wall! The next second, with a crisp sound of being unsheathed, the sword on the wall was pulled down.
Aurora stood with sword in hand.
Nothing can give her a greater sense of security than a weapon in her hand.
The dog, which was bigger than a lion, did not forget the order and pounced on Aurora once again.

The blonde girl moved, and the sword cut through the air, making a sharp sound! In just a moment - a moment so fast that the soldier's naked eyes could not catch it - the dog fell down in a pool of blood.
The severely injured dog trembled and struggled on the ground, whimpering in pain. Everyone in the hotel - no, the whole street - was woken up.
The boiling blood gushed out like a fountain, instantly dyeing the entire luxurious room red.
"How is this possible?"
The soldier could hardly believe his eyes and even wondered if he was dreaming.
Ever since he summoned the dogs with the tinderbox, he has never seen the three dogs shed even a drop of blood! These three big dogs are almost like monsters with wishing machines, they can do anything.
Aurora was seen standing in a pool of blood as the dog whimpered, the blood having dyed her pure white nightgown crimson.
The blood-soaked blonde girl walked slowly towards them, her gilded hair and half of her beautiful face had turned blood red, drops of blood were dripping down the long sword in her right hand, but her face was as calm as before, as if nothing had happened.
This weird and terrifying scene turned into a sharp blade of fear, piercing deeply into the soldiers' hearts.
monster!
This is a monster in girl's skin!
"Oh my God, what kind of creature did the dog catch?"
The soldier ran out of the inn in panic, rubbed the tinderbox several times in a row, his hands trembling with fear, and he almost couldn't hold the treasure in his hands.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Two more big dogs appeared in the night.
One dog had eyes as big as cartwheels, and the other had eyes as big as the tops of round towers.
"Tinderbox...it turns out that you are the soldier who went back on your word and injured Granny Rosa..."
As soon as Aurora saw the soldier take out the tinderbox, she understood everything.
The soldier in front of them was the culprit who attacked Granny Rosa and stole the tinderbox! Aurora chased him out, her eyes sharper than ever.
The soldier was terrified, completely terrified. He had never been so completely terrified - not even on the battlefield.
The sharp murderous aura almost touched his back, making his vest wet with sweat.
"She wants to kill me, it's absolutely true! She must want to kill me!"
The soldier fled in a panic to the end of the street and into the darkness, almost crying.
"Dogs, attack her, protect me!"
As he ran away, he gave orders to the dog, as if this monster in the skin of a girl would eat him if he was any later.
The two dogs pounced on Aurora! The dog with eyes as big as mill wheels bit Aurora's shoulder, but this time the girl didn't dodge.
But it was of no use, the sharp teeth couldn't even leave a scratch on the girl's skin.
The dog, whose eyes were as big as the tops of domes, also bit Aurora's side with his teeth, but this was no use either.
The two dogs used all their strength to try to bite the girl's body in half, but it seemed like they were biting into something harder than iron.
Bang! The teeth of the two big dogs broke at the same time! (End of this chapter)
