The magician of the fairy tale world

Ariel's room in the palace.

Ariel, the mermaid princess, waits tremblingly for the arrival of the victorious soothsayer, the sage of the Kingdom of Lolth who is responsible for revealing her life experience.

Her slender little hands were stroking, her heart was beating fast, and her newborn feet kept rubbing against the ground, as if she was about to step onto the execution ground.

"Ariel!" The prince pushed open the door and hugged her in his arms.

He hugged her so tightly that he didn't dare to let go for a moment, as if the other person would disappear if he relaxed a little - because the prince knew that she was also so tight when she hugged him on that nightmare night when the storm was raging.

"My girl, I know, I know it all, I know all the things I should know - and my God I didn't know them until today!"

The prince was so excited that he could not speak coherently. He wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

Ariel was so confused that she didn't understand what the prince meant at all. She felt her face was a little moist, and then realized that it was the prince's hot tears that were stuck to her face.

"My Highness, what did you say? What do you know?" Ariel was excited and panicked.

The next moment, she suddenly realized that what the prince called out when he entered was her name "Ariel", her real name when she was the princess of the sea kingdom.

——This was the first time she heard the prince call her name since they met.

"Ariel, that exotic magician told me everything about you. I know your life experience, that you are a mermaid in the sea and a princess! Hahahaha, I said it when I first met you, you look like A princess from a foreign country, I guessed it right."

"I saw the mermaid kingdom at the bottom of the sea, your father and sisters, and the majestic palace under the sea - your kingdom in the sea is much more beautiful than the kingdom on land. An ordinary pearl decorating the palace is just like that. More round and beautiful than the jewels in my mother’s crown.”

"I know you were the one who saved me on that stormy night. You are the girl I have longed for, the girl who saved me!"

"I also know what kind of risks you took in order to walk on this land and grow this ugly, deformed pillar of human flesh!"

"..."

The prince was talking incoherently, wanting to tell everything he knew to prove to the girl in front of him that he finally understood her and had the qualifications to be with her.

"So, you know everything? You know it in such detail. Your Highness Eric, my Highness!" Ariel was so surprised that she could not speak.

She felt her cheeks were wetter than before. But this time, it was her own tears that wet her face.

Ariel couldn't help but think:

"Who is that foreign sage? What a great magician he is. He can actually reveal all my past. He can even peek into the kingdom of the sea under the waves!"

"The magician hasn't seen me yet?"

She hugged Prince Eric's neck and stroked the handsome boy's face with her fair and slender hands. She stared at the prince's dark and shiny eyes and said word by word:

"My Lord, after knowing that I am a mermaid, don't you discriminate against me? Don't you fear me? I am not even a human being, just a monster from the deep sea. In your world, mermaids are regarded as the embodiment of shipwrecks ”

"Of course not," the prince said tremblingly, "I have known for a long time that those are all rumors slandering you and your people!"

He didn't say he found out today.

"What's the difference between humans on the ground and mermaids in the deep palace? What distinguishes races is just the physical structure, but what determines whether we can be together is the resonance of our hearts!" The prince hugged Ariel tighter, "Everyone in this palace is my kindred, but no one is more similar to you and me. From then on, My father, the princes and ministers who flatter me with their words, all focus on things that I am not interested in. But you are different from them. You will discuss romantic stories in novels with me, and talk to me about my life. Hunting in the forest because we are romantic children, not adults."

Before the choking Ariel could reply, the prince kissed her lips:

"I love you, my girl, my princess, my Ariel!

"Whether you are a human or a mermaid, whether you have a fish tail or legs, I love you! Let us be together forever and never be apart.

"I will walk down the aisle with you, in the presence of a priest, put my hand on your chest, and pour all my affection and love into you. In this way, you will gain an immortal soul.

“Even if I exhaust all the stories, epics and fairy tales I have read, there is nothing more romantic than giving the gift of an immortal soul to your lover!”

He kissed the girl's long and beautiful eyelashes again, and the girl kissed him too.

"Finding a suitable time, I will go to see my father and ask him to allow us to be together." Prince Eric said.

"But how should you describe my life experience to your father?" Ariel worried, "Even if you can accept me, will your father allow you to marry a mermaid from the deep sea?"

"I will try my best to convince him!" the prince said in a very firm tone, "I don't want to marry the princess of Ender and make an eternity vow with a person I never know! I won't fall in love with her, I only love her. You, my princess.”

At this moment, the prince cast his eyes behind Ariel and saw the young man's figure at the open door.

"You're here, your esteemed magician!" the prince said excitedly.

"Ariel, turn around and look at him. He made me understand you so well, and he told me everything I should know. Let's thank him!"

Ariel was a little nervous and uneasy, and turned her head slowly.

"What would the final winner of the fortune-teller assessment, the sage of the Kingdom of Rose, the powerful magician who could reveal my identity look like?"

"Will it be an old man with white hair and a beard?"

The mermaid princess turned her head completely.

Reflected in her pupils was a boy wearing a light-colored cloak, who seemed to have walked out of a fairy tale book. She saw his short bright silver hair and delicate face under his hood, his pale, almost crystal-clear skin, and his eyes with a cold light.

Ariel's mouth opened wide and she almost shouted out.

That foreign sage, the great magician, turned out to be him!

The human friend she had just met not long ago, the kind-hearted magician who let her grow human legs and come to land!

No wonder, no wonder he knows so much... Ariel understood everything in an instant.

Rhine waved to his mermaid friend, put a finger on his lips, and made a "hush" gesture.

The mermaid princess immediately closed her mouth and pretended that she had never seen Rhine.

No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

Seeing the prince on the ground and the princess in the sea hugging each other tightly, Rhine smiled.

This warm scene seemed eternal.

Of course, after a while, this beautiful silence was interrupted by the voice of the outside:

"Your Highness, the delegation of Ende Germany has arrived. His Majesty the King asked you to go to the palace quickly, saying that he wants to discuss your marriage with Princess Ende Germany.

"Also, His Majesty reminds you to bring the amnesiac girl with a beautiful singing voice, she is responsible for singing a song for the delegation of Ende Germany! "

Ende Germany!

Hearing that this enemy country had invaded the Kingdom of Rose, both Rhine and Aurora, who had just walked in from the door, raised their eyebrows.

As far as Rhine knew, Ende Germany was one of the most powerful countries in the Western Continent.

And their mighty warships on the sea were more famous than their cavalry and chariots on the land.

This empire robbed neighboring countries like a bandit, plundering supplies and land. Their royal pirates, with privateering licenses issued by the royal family, dominated the sea and plundered merchant ships of all countries except allies.

Ende Germany deliberately spread the truth about the curse, causing the Kingdom of Rose to fall into civil strife, and took advantage of the fire to rob. Aurora has always been resentful of this.

Although Aurora, as the commander, finally defeated the invaders, she only defeated one of the troops. , making Ende Germany realize that this war is unprofitable, so it naturally withdrew its troops. It does not mean that the Kingdom of Rose is capable of fighting against such a powerful military empire.

Moreover, in that war, not only did Aurora, who led the charge and stabilized the morale of the army, and the three big dogs summoned by the tinderbox participated in the battle, but both the kingdom's sage Rhine and the 12 good witches provided more or less, openly or secretly.

In such a fantasy magic world with supernatural powers, Ende Germany can become a powerful empire that dominates one side and is feared by other countries. It must have its own super warriors and magicians. But in the small-scale war at the beginning, they did not appear.

"I'm sorry, respected magician, Ariel and I have to go to receive Ende Germany's delegation first, and we can't entertain you for the time being. "

The prince arranged for his subordinates to prepare a luxurious guest room for Rhine and Aurora in the palace, and then hurriedly led Ariel away.

Just by seeing the worried look of the prince and Ariel when they left, Rhine knew that if he wanted to successfully match the two people, it was far from enough for the prince to have love.

A member of the royal family cannot choose his marriage partner at will.

Aurora sighed:

"It is said that the marriage partner arranged by the King of the Kingdom of West Asia for Prince Eric is Princess Ende. How could this happen? Why is Ariel so unlucky?"

She looked at Rhine again:

"Teacher. Since Prince Eric's father, the King of the Kingdom of West Asia, is particularly interested in Ariel's singing, is it possible that he would agree to her marriage with the prince?"

Rhine shook his head:

"The king does not need to use marriage as a bondage to keep Ariel in the palace and serve him - at least he thinks so. If she wants His Majesty to agree to this marriage, Ariel must prove that she has greater political value than the princess of Ende. "

"Sure enough, it is not enough for Prince Eric to know Ariel's identity as a mermaid, understand her and accept her." Aurora said with a little sadness.

I don't know when it started, she has become more and more concerned about Ariel's future, and she doesn't want her mermaid friend's heart to break and turn into foam in the sea.

Aurora seemed to think of something and asked again:

"Teacher, do we need to avoid the Ende's delegation? Will they come to trouble us?"
