Beauty and the Python

1.

His Majesty the King was very sad.

I heard that the elves in the Moonlight Forest built an amusement park, because those elves can flexibly control the trees in the Moonlight Forest, so one of the items is called bungee jumping.It was said that it was a game of entwining a tree branch around a person, and then using the branch to throw the person from a high altitude. Thinking about it, the scene was very exciting—probably the same as his current situation.

He fell straight down from high altitude involuntarily, all that was left in his heart was the trembling fear of rapidly approaching the god of death. It was just at a critical moment, his waist suddenly tightened, and the whole person fell heavily on the mountain wall, and the dust kicked up It was splashed all over his head and face, but the downward trend was somehow stopped.

The king heaved a sigh of relief, stuck his head out and carefully looked down at his feet. The bottomless canyon and the mist wandering in it were like a beast with its mouth wide open. The fur on his back seemed to be able to feel the sharp His fangs stuck to the back of his neck, exuding the scorching smell of death and cold breath—the next moment, something even more terrifying happened.I don't know when the branch wrapped around his waist quickly sprouted a branch visible to the naked eye, twisting like some kind of strange liquid, winding up his arm all the way, causing goose skin everywhere it passed Pimple, it came close to him like a snake.Thinking of this, the king seemed to really feel some kind of scrutinizing and cold gaze. The treetops stretched all the way to the tip of his nose. A mouth was formed, and from it did come a low, hoarse voice, "King Gustav, do you want to live?"

Cold sweat dripped from the king's forehead, his lips were dry, but his brain was extremely awake at this moment, he swallowed, and quickly replied: "Of course."

"I can save you, but there is no free lunch in this world. Your life must be exchanged for the treasures in your castle."

The king breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he had bumped into some evil creature. If the other party was just asking for money, what's the big deal?So when he spoke again, his tone was slightly optimistic: "That's natural! The grace of saving life should be repaid."

The branch trembled for a while, and giggled, the laughter contained indescribable weirdness, and sure enough, when it said its request, the king obviously hesitated, "This...how can this be done?"

"I'm the kind of person who would sell out my child..."

Before he finished speaking, he only felt his waist loosen, and his whole body fell into a state of weightlessness again, and he quickly screamed: "Yes, I am!—"

The voice was still calm and slow, reminding in his ear: "Contract."

"I! Adam Gustav, I am willing to dedicate to Your Excellency the first child who comes into contact with me after returning to the castle! I am willing!" It is difficult for the king to be able to say these words clearly in time during the high-speed fall.

"Deal." The voice was satisfied, and at the last second when the king was in close contact with the ground, dense branches wrapped around his legs, hanging him upside down an inch above the ground.

Devils want to make deals with humans, but they don't know that devils have the evilness of devils, and humans also have the cunning of humans.

3.

After a while, sure that the devil was gone, the king rescued himself from being hanged upside down.

He fell to the ground and took a breath, stood up barely with his still weak knees, and patted the dirt on the front of his clothes, revealing the crown pattern woven with gold threads.

He looked down at the tree branch that had lost its vitality and had to lie limp on the ground, a dark light flashed in his eyes.

Stepped on a pair of buckled leather boots hard, increasing the force a little bit...

The already withered branches let out screams.

Those vicious assassins had slaughtered his entourage and horses one by one, and the king had to disguise himself and hide his name all the way.He was not in a hurry to go back to the capital, but deliberately took a long way to meet the lord of another place—the wife of the other party was his younger sister, someone who was absolutely trustworthy.

So the next day, the king sat in a gilded carriage driven by four tall horses, escorted by the most elite knights in the city, and embarked on the journey back to the capital in a splendid manner.

The king calculated well. On the day he returned to the royal capital, Princess Catherine was still patrolling the border army, and Prince William was busy dealing with the princesses of neighboring countries... Go down an avenue that goes straight to the palace, and a red carpet is spread on the ground. Both sides of the blanket were crowded with dense crowds. At a glance, the magnificent vaulted dome of the castle could be seen from a distance. The uniform army was lined up in front of the gate, and a group of silver armors gleamed in the sun.Someone came out from behind the army, a skirt embroidered with roses dragged on the ground, and his long golden hair was almost reflected in a noble white gold in the sun. The crowd was silent for a moment, and then burst into fiery cheers—— "His Royal Highness Elaine!"

The king even heard the whispers of the knights coming from afar outside the carriage.

"Look, it's her! Princess Elaine!"

"I said come and see her—it's unbelievable! I did see her!"

"My God! She's so beautiful!"

"She—Your Highness, she is an angel!"

……

The king couldn't help curling his lips, knowing that you didn't come to see me, tsk!

5.

A entourage raised the curtain of the carriage, and the king took the hand of another entourage and stepped down from the carriage.

He first looked at Elaine, who was less than a hundred steps away from him, with anticipation on his face, and when he saw the rose flower in the other's hand, he was even more delighted.

He knew that every time he returned from a trip, the princess would take the trouble to bring him the most beautiful rose in the garden.

Elaine was also looking at the king, and when he saw the other person's expression clearly, his clear amber eyes were stained with confusion. He didn't understand why his father, who had always treated him indifferently, came back this time... something different?But his heart still moved slightly, and he took the first step towards the king—a figure suddenly passed by his side, it was Princess Elena, the youngest daughter of the king.She was like a light bird, jumping towards the king with joy.

The king's breath was raised high.

One step, two steps... He stared in vain, not knowing how to stop this damn scene.

thank God!Right in front of him, Elena suddenly staggered and fell, she fell to the ground and was stunned for a few seconds, then she pursed her mouth and opened her throat to howl loudly.

Princess Elena is only six years old this year, and wrestling is also a common occurrence.

Elaine quickly lifted Elena up from the ground, rubbed her knees, and comforted her softly with her head down—seeing her expression, the knights who followed the king were all fascinated.

A maid carried Princess Irene down. Elaine stood up and faced the king, lifted the hem of her skirt with pearl lace gloves, and bowed to him. The king helped him up, and Elaine sent the rose out. One took it.

At that moment, under the eyes of everyone, Elaine felt dizzy inexplicably, as if he was suddenly pulled into another space. There was a chill all over his body, his scalp was numb, and a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly flashed in front of him.

The next moment, the king showed him a rare warm smile, "Elaine, nice to meet you."

He couldn't help but smile with the corners of his lips, and then a dimple appeared on the side of his dimple, "Father, I miss you very much too."

Knight A: I...I can't take it anymore, the princess...she still has dimples!

Knight B: Her Royal Highness is so cute!

Knight C: I don't want to leave the capital.

In a distant country, in a gloomy old castle, he slightly opened his eyes.It was a pair of strange vertical pupils, the pupils were scarlet blood.He leaned forward and sniffed the air.

"...It's Rose."

7.

Therefore, the contract took effect with roses.
