After signing in for fifty years, I became the leader of the vampire clan

"love?"

Elizabeth looked confused.

Because this once again involves her knowledge blind spot.

So six-year-old Elizabeth embarked on a new journey. Her biggest goal at the time was to figure out one question: What is love?

…

She asked many people and got many answers.

But she still wondered: Isn't love beautiful? Why does it bring so much pain, tragedy, and despair to my mother?

With such questions.

Elizabeth opened the first love novel in her life, "Romantic Castle"...

From then on it was out of control.

Starting from the age of six, to the age of seven or eight...

When she was ten years old, she finally began to understand what "love" was.

She finally understood her mother's choice.

The mother does not love the father and falls in love with another man;

My father loves my mother very much and does not allow my mother to find a hot man;

The mother was so sad that she committed suicide.

…

Elizabeth, like her mother, values ​​love more than life, soul, and dignity.

But she didn't want to be like her mother, who spent her whole life searching for love to no avail and ended in tragedy.

So when Elizabeth was twelve years old.

She made an amazing decision!

A relic left by her mother, she will always wear it.

In the future, if you fall in love with a man wholeheartedly, you will give him the key as a proof of your lifelong love.

…

No wonder he is so shy and embarrassed to say it.

It turns out that this key is a "love token" that she plans to give to her future lover.

There is a lot of information obtained, which spans six years of Elizabeth's life from the age of six to twelve.

But in fact, it only took Fang Qingyan a tenth of a second to read all the information.

He had already turned off his mind reading ability.

Even Joanna, who was not far away, didn't notice anything unusual.

"Did I just get distracted?"

Elizabeth was a little confused, but immediately she shook her head and put away the distracting thoughts.

Her beautiful face was full of sincerity, and her beautiful eyes were apologetic: "I'm really sorry. Although I really want to hear your story, it's not convenient for me to tell you the secret of this key."

"It's okay, Your Highness Princess."

Fang Qingyan shook his head, showed a gentle smile, looked at her softly, and said softly, "Actually, I was just joking. I am happy to share the stories I know with you without asking you to make any return."

"Really?"

Elizabeth looked surprised.

Fang Qingyan smiled and nodded: "Really."

…

In fact, Fang Qingyan always felt that Elizabeth's book-loving character was a bit abnormal and weird.

Even if most people like reading books, they won't be as obsessed with them as she is...so obsessed that they would give up the whole world for books.

But when he learned about Elizabeth's past, he completely understood.

In fact, the princess has not gotten over the shadow of her mother's suicide until now. She wants to study everything about love.

Fang Qingyan was full of sympathy for this girl.

Even the look in her eyes softened a lot.

He had no thought of harming Elizabeth, and even felt that if this angelic girl was in any trouble, he would be willing to help.

Using mind reading on Elizabeth just now is not something a gentleman would do.

Since she wanted to hear the story, Fang Qingyan decided to satisfy her as a way to make up for his rude behavior just now.

As for the key?

If she doesn't want to give it, forget it, don't force it.

To be honest, Fang Qingyan really looked down upon a mere prince's tomb.

With the system in place, he will become a prince sooner or later!

…

"Your Highness, let me tell you a story about mermaids."

Fang Qingyan showed an infectious smile.

Chapter 43

Mermaid story?

This is the first time Elizabeth has heard of the term mermaid.

Suddenly his eyes sparkled with curiosity.

She did not take the liberty to interrupt. She sat on the chair, holding her white chin in her little hand, and continued to listen carefully——

"The mermaid princess saved the prince and fell in love with him at first sight. Suddenly she heard the sound of someone approaching, so she hurriedly hid... When the prince woke up, he mistakenly thought that a human girl had saved him, so he fell in love with that girl and decided to Marry her as your wife..."

Fang Qingyan's voice was unhurried and slow as he slowly told one of the most classic love stories in Andersen's fairy tales - "The Story of the Mermaid Princess".

Elizabeth listened very seriously, and she was completely immersed in it.

Just like last time, the story captivated her from the very beginning.

"...The mermaid princess made a deal with the witch. In order to have human legs, she gave her singing voice to the witch. At the same time, she also paid a huge price, that is, every step she takes, her feet will Suffering excruciating pain..."

Elizabeth's big aqua-blue eyes showed admiration and yearning.

Is this love? For the sake of the one he loves, he is willing to give up the singing voice that he was once proud of, and is even willing to endure great pain, just to... get closer to him.

The story continues.

"...Although the mermaid princess can't sing or talk, she dances very well and successfully pleases the prince. However, the prince doesn't know that every dance step, turn, jump...she endures inhuman pain, but still tries to keep smiling in front of the prince..."

Elizabeth pursed her lips tightly, and tears gradually flashed in her eyes.

She didn't dare to listen any more.

She was afraid that the mermaid princess would pay so much, but in the end she couldn't get the love she wanted.

Just like her mother, who was eventually destroyed by love!

Fang Qingyan glanced at her and saw that she covered her ears with her little hands. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Princess, if you don't want to listen, I won't talk anymore."

Elizabeth's face was tangled for a while, and her eyes hesitated, but in the end she still gritted her teeth: "I...I want to listen!"

She has heard of the tragic Romeo and Juliet. Is there a sadder ending to love in the world? She doesn't believe it.

Fang Qingyan looked at her with a half-smile, and stretched out his hand to give him a tissue: "Then you take this first."

"Qi~" Elizabeth sneered immediately, and threw the tissue on the ground with disdain, "Don't look down on me, I won't cry!"

Fang Qingyan nodded and continued to tell the story--

"One day, the prince brought the mermaid princess to the seaside to meet a girl. The prince said: 'She saved my life, so I want to marry her', the mermaid princess shouted loudly 'No! I saved you, not her', but her voice had been given to the witch, and the prince couldn't hear these words at all..."

"... Only by killing the prince can she get back her singing and fish tail, but she couldn't do it, and couldn't do it, and finally dropped the sword and cried and left..."

At this point.

Elizabeth's eyes were actually full of tears, and she was about to cry.

But she remembered the bold words she had just put down, so she was stubbornly fighting against her tear glands, forcing herself not to let the tears flow down.

Seeing her like this, Fang Qingyan sneered in his heart. Elizabeth was already at the end of her strength.

Sure enough, when she heard the tragic ending of "the prince married that hypocritical woman, and the mermaid turned into bubbles and died", she could no longer control herself, like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"Woo-ah--"

Elizabeth's mouth pursed, and she suddenly burst into tears. Her beautiful face was covered with tears, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying.

"Why... why is it another tragedy?"

She was very sad.

She felt deeply unworthy for the mermaid princess, but she also sincerely admired her spirit of giving up everything for love.

Juliet and Romeo loved each other after all. Even if they died together in the end, they died in the arms of their lovers.

But the mermaid princess paid so much, but in the end she never got the prince's love. Even when she died, the prince didn't know that she had loved him.

"Woo-woo~"

While crying, she fumbled on her body, wanting a tissue to wipe her tears, but she couldn't find it.

Finally, she looked at the tissue she had thrown away on the ground, and her body suddenly stiffened, and she felt a burning pain on her face.

It was so embarrassing!

She had said before that she would not cry, but now she cried.

The question was, with Fang Qingyan staring at her, in such an embarrassing situation, should she pick up the tissue or not?

Fang Qingyan smiled meaningfully... Pick up the tissue she had thrown away!

"Woo woo~"

Sadness struck her heart again.

Her Highness the Princess did not care about her face, she bent down and picked up the tissue, and wiped her tears.

Another cry sounded.

It turned out that Joanna, who was outside the door, also cried... This earl's maid who was more than a thousand years old actually used her mental power to eavesdrop on people telling stories, you have no martial ethics!

Fang Qingyan's evil thoughts surfaced, and he pretended to be angry: "You eavesdropped!"

"I didn't...no, woooo~"

"Then why are you crying?"

"I...I remembered something sad."

Fang Qingyan had a strange expression, and subconsciously asked: "What sad thing?"

"I saw the princess crying very sadly, and I thought the story must be very exciting, but I couldn't hear it. The more I thought about it, the sadder I became, so I cried."

Joanna took a deep breath and said.

Full emotional intelligence!

Fang Qingyan thought her husband had given birth.

...
