Chapter 58 The Daughter of the Sea 15 【Complete】

Seeing the girl in his arms looking at him in shock, Simon raised his hand and scratched his cheek uncomfortably, and explained to her, "That's right. Some time ago, His Royal Highness took a boat to attend an earl's birthday dinner. In a shipwreck, she was washed to the shore after being unconscious, and was rescued by Princess Gloria who happened to be walking by. The imperial doctor said that it was fortunate that he was discovered in time, and His Highness may be in danger if it is too late."

"His Royal Highness is very grateful for the princess's life-saving grace, and fell in love with the princess at first sight, so he proposed to marry her, and the princess agreed. This time the princess came to Pengsa country for a short stay, and she will wait until next spring. When the wedding is officially held."

Sitting in his arms, Ariel saw the couple chatting and laughing not far away, and heard the cruelest words that Simon said in a gentle tone, and felt like a knife was twisting her heart.How much she wanted to rush to tell Jeffrey the truth about his rescue from the shipwreck, tell him how much she loved him, and beg him not to marry someone else.

It's a pity that she is just a mute who can't walk now.

Of course it would not do to leave the princess outside the city and chat all the time. After a while, a group of people set out on the road again and drove back to the palace with the princess' rites.

Gloria sat in the carriage, casually looking at the scenery outside the window.Suddenly, an extremely bright golden color caught her attention.She opened her eyes wide and met Ariel, who was sitting on Simon's horse. The pale blue pupils that were almost transparent met the emerald green pupils. Princess Gloria was stunned. Ariel The son has been left behind by the carriage.

Gloria swayed, as if she wanted to poke her head out of the car window, but in the end she didn't move, only the slender fingers that were originally resting on the wide skirt quietly curled up.

When the king and queen of Pensa saw Gloria, they took her hand very warmly and welcomed her to Penza.After going through a series of diplomatic routines, the queen ordered her maids to take the princess to the room specially prepared for her to rest, and there was a grand welcome ball waiting for her in the evening.

Gloria took a good bath under the service of the maid, washed away the dust all the way, and then changed into a very elegant ivory white dress.She was sitting in front of the vanity mirror, and the maid behind her was gently holding her long black hair and combing it slowly with a small silver comb.

Gloria sat for a while, and suddenly asked, "Do you know who the girl we saw today is?"

The maid is not qualified to sit in the princess's carriage, she can only sit on a small step behind the carriage, and naturally she also saw the beautiful Ariel.The maid had always been gossipy, and after lamenting the beauty of the girl, she naturally inquired about another knight who came to greet their prince.Now when the princess asked about it, she quickly said it in detail, and said in a serious manner: "The maid named Sunny just met the prince today, and they should have nothing before, so don't worry too much, Your Highness." .”

Gloria said lightly: "You think too much."

The maid stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to say any more. She moved her hands nimbly and finished the princess's hairstyle in a short while.Gloria's eyes swept over the dressing table. Without using the maid's hands, she painted a very fresh makeup for herself, put on a set of simple pearl jewelry, stood up, went to the terrace, and looked into the distance .

What makes the palace of Pensa Kingdom different is that it was built on the mountainside. Looking up from afar, you can have a panoramic view of the wide sea and beautiful mountain scenery. The scenery is very spectacular.

The seabirds spread their wings and whistled, passing low over the sea and the mountains. The waves beat on the beach in an unhurried rhythm, making a "squeaky" sound. Destination scans the landscape.Suddenly, she suddenly felt that there were several eyes on her from below the balcony. She lowered her head sensitively, but found nothing.

At this moment, the maid came over and reminded: "Your Highness, the ball is about to begin, and Sister Jenny, who is beside Her Royal Highness, is at the door to invite you over."

"Yeah." Gloria responded, glanced at the bottom one last time, turned and went back.

On the surface of the sea, a few ordinary bubbles popped one after another, and the sea was calm.

The ball is nothing more than the same set, polite and hypocritical diplomatic rhetoric, hidden truth and falsehood between the lines, and gorgeous but boring three-time music.After dancing two dances with Jeffrey with a smile, Gloria took a glass of wine by herself under the pretext of wanting to rest, and hid in the corner.

Fortunately, the skirt was very wide and there was plenty of space inside. Gloria leaned on the huge Roman-style stone pillar calmly, and quietly broke free from the shackles of her high-heeled shoes with one foot, twisting slightly in the skirt.

Tonight, the new lady-in-waiting with the brilliant blond hair is not here, and beside Jeffrey is another older lady, serious and unsmiling, and even in a long skirt, she looks like a Like an iron ruler, he always looked at Gloria with a kind of stern gaze that was not well concealed, and looked very difficult to mess with.

For such a person, Gloria has always been reluctant to interact with them, and just a dull nod ended her first communication with the female officer.

The aristocrats practice carpe diem, and most of them are party animals. They don't care what the name of the ball is, as long as they have fun, that's enough.So Gloria slipped away from everyone's nose very smoothly, and Prince Jeffery was busy dealing with a princess who burst into tears after hearing that he was engaged, and did not find out that his fiancée was missing.

Although she has been brought up as a lady since she was a child, she still cannot restrain Gloria's rich and adventurous spirit.Everyone only saw her superficial indifference, but they didn't know the strong envy and longing in her heart when she heard that the Black Prince of Galles Kingdom was sailing to sea.

However, in this era, as a princess and a woman, she has neither the qualifications nor the opportunity to emulate Adrian, so she has no choice but to suppress this kind of delusion that is considered insane in the eyes of the world today, and be a beautiful woman in peace. The well-behaved vase was traded out by parents and brothers as a political tool.

Gloria left the ball, with a calm smile on her face, and began her adventure in a foreign palace.

She took off her dancing shoes carefully and held them in her hands, and stepped on the ground with her bare feet without a sound.In order to welcome the distinguished guests, the marble floor of the palace was already covered with a red carpet, otherwise the princess's jade feet would soon turn red from the cold as late autumn approached.

Gloria wandered aimlessly, and unexpectedly came to the other side of the castle at some point.The night wind blows from the window, carrying a damp coolness.

Suddenly, there was a crisp cracking sound from behind the door behind her, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.Gloria stopped walking, turned around, looked at the door for a moment, and walked through.

She knocked on the door, "Hello, is there anyone in there?"

There was no sound at the door, and no one answered.

Gloria frowned slightly, and knocked on the door again, "Hello?"

This time, there were a few inaudible knocks on the inside of the door, but no one spoke.

"I'm sorry." Gloria held the carved doorknob, twisted it lightly, and the door opened.She raised her thin eyebrows, then pushed open the door, and saw the blond girl leaning against the door at a glance.

"...It's you?" Gloria was really surprised this time. This girl is none other than Ariel who left a deep impression on her.

Ariel raised her head, looking at Gloria's face with exquisite makeup, her eyes suddenly became hot, and she turned her head away.

Gloria noticed that there was a not-so-small wound on her forearm, and the bright red blood snaked out dazzling marks on her fair skin.Not far away, a glass cup was shattered into several pieces, lying dead on the ground.

Gloria put down her dancing shoes, squatted down to look at the little mermaid, and asked softly, "You scratched your arm, can I bandage it for you?"

Ariel quickly shook her head, hid her injured arm behind her back, and leaned on the floor with her other arm, trying to climb herself onto the chair.

Gloria saw that she was inconvenient to move, so she stepped forward and put her arms around her waist, and helped her sit on the chair.The moment she touched her, Ariel was as stiff as a dried fish. She didn't raise her head until she sat on the chair, and looked at her with an unclear expression.

Gloria took a cursory look around, but couldn't find anything that could serve as a bandage.Anyway, there were only the two of them now, so she didn't think much about it, so she lifted the hem of the skirt a little, tore off a piece of clean petticoat fabric, and barely wrapped Ariel's arm.

Her Royal Highness, who had never served anyone before, looked at her appalling bandaging results, showing a very complicated expression.

As a princess, Gloria has never helped others like this before, but she felt very good after this, and she didn't rush to leave, so she sat down on the chair beside Ariel.

Ariel flinched subconsciously.

"You don't need to be nervous." Gloria showed a slightly sincere smile to Ariel, "I know your name is Sunny, and you are Prince Jeffery's maid, right?"

Ariel watched her nervously, her big green eyes not blinking.

Gloria said "Oh", "I remember, they said you can't speak."

She paused for a moment, then asked again: "Is it because of a throat problem?" After finishing speaking, she added: "You can nod or shake your head."

Ariel nodded slowly.

Gloria sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat regretful.Ariel is very beautiful, if she still has a moving voice, Gloria feels that she may not be able to compare with her.

The princess looked around, a bed, a wardrobe, a simple dressing table and a set of tables and chairs without any carvings were all there was in this room.If it wasn't for the fact that Ariel was the prince's maid, she wouldn't be able to live in the "single room" and would have to be squeezed together with three other maids.

The room is really lackluster, and Gloria's set of social methods of "choosing something to praise to start a topic" are of no use here.So she had no choice but to turn to the owner herself, "You look so good-looking, I like you very much."

After hearing this, Ariel's fair face was immediately covered with a layer of light pink, but she was a little more energetic, and she no longer looked so gloomy.She finally looked at Gloria seriously, raised the corners of her mouth with common sense, and showed a faint smile.

Following this smile, Gloria suddenly felt as if thousands of stars were shining in her eyes, and her heart was shocked again. She stared at her blankly and forgot to speak.

Seeing that she was just staring at herself blankly, Ariel moved her eyes uncomfortably.Only then did Gloria come back to her senses, and immediately said without hesitation: "I'm sorry, your smile is so beautiful, I'm fascinated by it."

After finishing speaking, she thought for a while and said, "You can smile more."

Gloria swore she had never admired someone's looks so bluntly before.For some reason, she was very relaxed in front of Ariel, completely unable to remember to use "standard words" to communicate with her.

Ariel's face turned redder, and her eyes softened a lot.The princess in front of her was clearly her rival in love, but she couldn't arouse her disgust towards her at all. Instead, she was like a peaceful and friendly friend, making her involuntarily relax her hostility towards her.

It's really distressing. If this continues, how can she hate her wholeheartedly?

Gloria didn't know her complicated heart yet, and after thinking for a while, she decided to ask this possibly offensive question: "Is your leg injured so that you can't walk?"

Ariel shook her head.In fact, she was practicing walking just now, so she accidentally overturned the water glass and accidentally scratched her arm after falling.

"Aren't you going to leave?"

Ariel looked at Gloria who spoke in surprise, how did she know?

Seeing her expression, Gloria knew that she had guessed right, "It's nothing surprising, I've seen a person before, and his legs and feet are fine, but he just can't learn to walk."

So he was treated as a strange thing and led around for exhibition, even the boring nobles in Dodge Palace called him into the palace with a fuss, watching him dragging his legs on the ground, it was like watching a monkey show.

Gloria couldn't imagine Ariel becoming like that at all.She stood up abruptly, stretched out her hand to pull Ariel, "Come on, I'll teach you how to walk!"

Ariel was staggered by her pull, her legs moved together subconsciously, and ended up falling into the princess' arms without any suspense.

Even though they are also 15 years old, human beings are just a little bit trickier than mermaids.

Gloria took a small step back from being hit, and quickly put her arms around Ariel's waist again, "Put your hands on my shoulders, don't be afraid, I'll hold you up."

Ariel's hand clasped weakly, and Gloria felt itchy, so she simply let her wrap her arms around her neck, firmly clasped Ariel's slender and flexible waist, and led her to stand up slowly.

Ariel moved her fingers.Under her hands is the warm skin of a human being, and she can even feel the tiny jumping of the blood vessels on the side of her neck.

With just one blow, she could easily rip this human's neck apart.

Ariel lowered her eyelashes, quietly put aside her sudden dark thoughts, and focused on standing firm on the ground.

The floor in the room was made of flat and cold marble tiles, without a carpet, and a bone-piercing coldness rose from the soles of the ****'s feet, making the two girls shiver.

The difference is that Gloria is cold and Ariel is in pain.

It hurts, it really hurts, and the ghost witch didn't alarmist.

Just standing on the ground, Ariel had to bite her lips tightly.She just felt as if she was stepping on a knife blade. The sharp blade was cutting the soles of her feet with the coldness, which transformed into sharp and burning pain, which made her knees go limp, and she almost knelt down.

Gloria held her back and said softly, "Hold on."

She didn't know what kind of torture Ariel was going through, and Ariel couldn't tell.What's more, Ariel herself wanted to learn to walk as soon as possible, so she showed all her perseverance, even though her face was pale and sweaty, she still gritted her teeth and persisted.

Gloria gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, feeling so distressed that she almost wanted to tell her to give up.But she knew too well how boring things the curious nobles could do. In order not to let Ariel fall into such a situation, she could only endure it and encourage her over and over again.

By the time Ariel was finally able to stagger to her feet without Gloria's support, most of the night had passed.Looking at the slightly red sky, Gloria straightened her waist and rubbed her eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "According to this progress, you should be able to learn to walk soon."

Ariel showed her a weak smile, swayed on the spot, and finally couldn't support herself and fell down.

Fortunately, Gloria was prepared and immediately caught her, took her to the bedside, and let her lie down.

"Have a good rest, I'll come see you tomorrow." Gloria said, and couldn't help but kiss Ariel on the forehead, raised her head, and met Ariel's surprised eyes.

"Uh, goodbye!" Seemingly feeling a little strange, Gloria quickly straightened up, picked up the dancing shoes left at the door in a hurry, and left Ariel's room.

The room was once again silent.

Ariel pressed the snow-white pillow with some discomfort, sighed, and closed her eyes.
