Chapter 64: Drive out Sage Rhine!
In the main hall of the palace.
The King, Queen, and Prince Eric are summoning the envoys from Ender.
The envoys from Ende looked majestic. Half of them were strong warriors wearing armor, and their excellent armor showed their military strength.
The strangest person in the entire delegation was an old witch - she looked like a typical witch! She was old and ugly, with frighteningly sharp eyes, wearing a classic wizard hat and witch robe, holding a wooden cane in her hand, and mumbling some strange words from time to time.
People say that she is the advisor to Emperor Ende and the oldest, wisest, most majestic and most powerful member of the court wizard group.
Ariel was quite scared when she saw her, which reminded her of the witch in the sea and the terrible legend about her.
"But the sea hag is just a little scary in appearance and temperament, and she is not actually a bad person. I hope the same is true for this witch." Ariel thought.
"You have traveled across the ocean and all the way, you must have worked hard. Come and taste the fine wine of our West Asian Kingdom!"
The king's face was full of smiles and he was very enthusiastic. He repeatedly ordered the waiters to fill the golden cups of the German envoys with overflowing wine.
Prince Eric had almost never seen his father behave like this, either towards him or his mother.
This made the prince feel quite uneasy, because it meant that his father attached great importance to making friends with the people of Ende.
And my father wants me to marry the princess of Ende! "What should I do? I belong to Ariel, and I can't marry anyone else. Otherwise, Ariel will turn into foam in the sea!"
The prince thought anxiously.
"What are you thinking about? My child, come and toast to our friends who have come from afar." The king said to Prince Eric, "We should also take this opportunity to discuss your marriage formally."
The prince opened his mouth to retort when the old witch from Endeavour tapped the marble floor with her cane.
The clear voice echoed in the hall, drowning out all the talking and laughing.
Everyone, especially the envoys from Ende, fell silent. Because they knew better than anyone that there was nothing more terrible than the old witch getting angry! "My majesty, the monarch of the Kingdom of West Asia," the old witch said sternly, "on my way to this palace, I heard something not so good!"
"What's wrong?" the king asked nervously.
"People say that your majesty has invited the wise man from the Kingdom of Rose, a disgusting magician. Now he is in this palace!" the old witch shouted angrily.
"This is so rude! He was once an enemy of me and my country. And you entertained him, letting him sleep in a luxurious room, lying on a soft bed, covered with a silk quilt."
The king had already learned the identity of the winner of the fortune-teller competition from his subordinates. He smiled and tried to explain:
"Don't be angry. It's just a coincidence. I'm recruiting famous fortune tellers recently, and that magician from the Rose Kingdom happened to respond to the recruitment..."
"Kick him out!" the old witch's tone left no room for doubt.
Her voice was so loud that all the princes and nobles in the hall could hear it.
"Oh, her temper is still so weird, and she can't tolerate even the slightest offense. Perhaps witches who study magic and mix potions are prone to become like this, turning into a crazy neurotic. And, for some reason, her temper has been getting worse day by day recently!" The warriors of Ende thought.
The king was also a little embarrassed.
He waved his hand to call his subordinates, wanting to instruct them to ask Rhine to leave the palace and let him stay in the hotel nearby or somewhere else.
Ariel, who was standing by, felt very upset when she heard what the old witch said.
Not long ago, it was the little magician who made them see the dawn of happiness.
"Rhine is such a good person, how could you treat him like this! The human world is so complicated." Ariel couldn't help but think.
"Wait a minute, that's not fair!"
Prince Eric could no longer bear it, and suddenly stood up and confronted the old witch in the horrified eyes of the princes and nobles.
Why? Why could a foreign witch, an envoy from a bandit country, teach them a lesson in the palace of the Kingdom of West Asia and drive away the magician who had done him a great favor? Eric could not accept it.
After all, he is a young prince full of vigor and vitality! "The wise man and learned magician from the Kingdom of Rose is our guest, the guest of the Kingdom of West Asia. This is our country and our palace. You don't need to interfere, old witch!"
the prince scolded.
At this moment, he felt that he was truly a hero, just like the heroes depicted in novels and picture books.
"Your Highness Eric, what did you say?"
The old witch was so angry that she almost jumped up. She hit the marble floor several times with her cane, as if she wanted to break the ground.
The other Endeavour envoys around rushed over and tried to dissuade her.
"All right, do as you please." The old witch sat down again, the anger on her face subsided, and she showed a sinister smile, "This is not a good choice - neither for you nor that friend, Your Highness Eric."
The envoys from Endeavour turned pale, for they knew that when the old witch made such an expression, it meant that someone was going to die.

"Prince Eric is a very loyal man!" Aurora praised as she looked at the scene in the crystal ball. "I can foresee that no matter how great the obstacles are or what the cost is, he will find a way to be with Ariel."
At this point, Aurora sighed again: "If, under Prince Eric's strong request, the king finally agrees that Prince Eric and Ariel can be together and live happily ever after in the Kingdom of West Asia, that would be great. The only pity is that if that's all, Ariel will still never be able to return to the kingdom of the sea and be with her family!"
"So, we have to pursue a better ending," Rhine said.
He looked at the various scenes in the crystal ball and turned to think about another thing:
"Why is that old witch so hostile to me? Is there some hidden reason? Or is her temper just weird?"
There are many witches with strange personalities in this world, but in his impression, the most moody and almost neurotic witch is the black witch Maleficent!
"Be careful. I have a vague feeling that the witch might do something bad to us. Maybe even tonight!" the silver-haired boy reminded Aurora.
The arrival of the German envoy, once an enemy country, made Rhine alert:
The stories scattered across this continent are not isolated, but each country is connected to each other, just like the black witch Maleficent and the sea witch belong to the same witch gathering.
Enemies they have seen before may reappear, perhaps planning a conspiracy they are unaware of.
Under this complex interaction, the development of the story may completely deviate from the direction of the original fairy tale. We cannot think that we know everything just because we know the plot of the original work.
