The magician of the fairy tale world

The king of the West Asian Kingdom yawned lazily when he saw the prince smiling warmly at Ariel and inviting her to sing in the palace.

"Hey, he is a young man after all, and his mind is always full of romantic fantasies."

"Let an unknown girl sing in my court? What nonsense."

"Let him do whatever he wants for now. When Eric is older and looks back on his current experience, he will know how ridiculous this relationship is."

He didn't care which woman his son was interested in, as long as it didn't develop into real love, everything was fine.

The king knew that royal marriage had never been about love, just like he and his wife, the current queen. There are so many things in this world that are much more important than love.

In the already arranged plan, his son was destined to marry the princess of Ender.

——This of course has nothing to do with love, it is entirely a geopolitical consideration: the Kingdom of West Asia is a country that relies on maritime trade and fisheries, and needs the military power of Ender to dominate the sea.

After receiving the prince's promise, Ariel walked to the center of the hall:

"I dedicate a song to His Majesty the King and Queen, and to His Royal Highness Prince Eric!"

The king lazily closed his eyes, feeling the warm afternoon sun, and ignored the farce.

"If this girl Eric picked up can sing half as well as the singers, I will just give you a few compliments to make Eric happy." The king thought, "Eric is almost 16 years old. There is not much time left for his youthful fantasy, and he will soon know what it means to become an adult and the new king of the West Asian Kingdom. "

The prince also gave Ariel an expectant smile, and his mind had begun to think of a hundred ways to praise the amnesiac girl.

——No matter how well Ariel sings, he will never be stingy with words to praise her!

As for whether his father likes the girl's songs, the prince doesn't care. In this world, it is enough for him to like a girl's song.

Ariel then began to sing.

When she sang the first syllable, the king suddenly opened his eyes.

He felt his soul trembling.

It was as if cold, clear water was bathing him from above, washing his heart and soul.

The king looked at his wife on the throne again.

——The queen of the West Asian Kingdom was stunned and trembling, and then the king realized that the expression he was making was no different from his wife.

Ariel sang so ecstatically.

The sounds of nature flowed through the palace, reverberating endlessly on the beams.

Everyone was fascinated by it, whether it was the king and queen on the throne, the prince who just wanted to see the girl show off her singing voice, or the singers who boasted that they had the most beautiful voices, the expressions on their faces were all frozen. .

Everyone in the palace heard this song, and everyone forgot what they were supposed to do:

The princes and nobles who were talking and laughing suddenly became quiet, and the wine glasses they raised were frozen in the air;

The servants cleaning the corridor stopped holding their brooms one after another.

The maid passing by the hall door carrying milk suddenly stopped and listened quietly to the sounds coming from the hall;

The waiter's right hand, which was pouring wine into the prince's cup, froze in the air, unaware that the wine in the golden cup had overflowed.

The migratory birds flew over the palace of the West Asian Kingdom. When they heard the singing coming from below, they changed their flight direction one by one and circled above the palace.

Even people who were miles away could see such a strange scene: hundreds of birds hovering and spinning above the palace of the West Asian King.

It wasn't until the song ended that everyone suddenly woke up.

"Sorry, Your Highness!"

The waiter then noticed the wine spilling from the glass and was panicked.

Prince Eric had no intention of blaming the waiter. He clapped desperately for the girl's singing.

Long before the girl sang, the prince had already weaved hundreds of words of praise in his mind.

But when the girl actually finished singing, he couldn't remember a word.

The lingering sound of the beautiful song echoed in his mind, erasing all thoughts like an eraser.

He could only clap hard until his hands ached, became sore, and became hot, until hot tears welled up from his eyes, dripping on his bright red and painful hands, and dripping into the fine wine in the golden cup, turning into a circle. Circle ripples.

The prince glanced at his father beside him again.

The king's eyes were as dull as a statue, and he could not recover at all.

"How about it? Her singing voice is nice, right?" Prince Eric said.

The prince forgot all the gorgeous words - the words created by humans were far from enough to describe the mermaid princess's song, so he had to use the most primitive words to describe it.

There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!

The king shuddered.

This is more than just nice to hear!

As the monarch of the Kingdom of West Asia, he had listened to too many excellent singers and too many famous musicians, and he had long been numb to beautiful singing.

But today, the king realized that the most beautiful melody he had ever heard before, compared with the song sung by this girl today, was like the flickering candlelight meeting the sun.

Even the horrific legends spread by sailors, those evil songs of mermaids that seduced people and tempted ships to crash, were not as good as the song of the girl in front of him.

"Where did you pick up this amnesiac girl?" the king said tremblingly.

The prince told the story of picking up Ariel on the coast.

"A girl with such a beautiful voice will never be unknown!" the king said with certainty, "all the noble kings and emperors on this continent will rush to make this girl a singer in their court!"

"That's great." The king patted Prince Eric on the shoulder, "You did a great job! You actually picked up such a girl with the most beautiful voice in the world."

The prince listened to his father's words, and for a moment he felt that this scene was like a dream, completely unreal.

Originally, in Prince Eric's initial expectation, only he liked the girl's song, and only he was generous in praising the girl, while his father would only watch coldly and respond a few words at most.

Now, it was his father who got ahead of him to brag about the amnesiac girl.

Seeing his son in a daze, the king smiled and said:

"Make good use of this girl's singing.

"In the future, when foreign dignitaries and royal families visit our country, let this girl sing a song!

"The Ende German delegation will be here soon. It's a good time to talk to them about your engagement.

"All the princes and nobles on the Western Continent will know that the court of the Kingdom of West Asia has the most beautiful singer on the continent!

"How proud we should be!

"Those diplomats who negotiate with us will lose their appetite and sleep when they hear this song - because even after the song is finished, it will echo in their minds for several months.

"After hearing this magical song, even the toughest negotiators will restrain their claws at the negotiation table a little."
