[Famous Books] Desire for control and arrogance

Alice is a pampered princess. Today is the tenth day since the old king chose a husband for her. She kept silent the whole time, watching everyone at the banquet busy with work coldly.

She has a pretty and sweet face. According to rumors, the old king prepared countless dowries for her, so even if she has a bad temper, people who hold her will flock to her.

In the first nine days, she satirized every suitor who came to ask for marriage, and rejected all of them.

On the morning of the tenth day, before the banquet began, the old king warned her that if she didn't choose another man to marry, he would marry her to any man who passed by the palace gate.

She was keeping her mouth shut now, and she was still at peace. The old king was relieved, and quickly wrote a person's name on the paper, implying that Alice would choose this person when the time came.

The parchment with the name on it was carefully held by the servant, and finally delivered to Alice.

Alice opened it and frowned after seeing the contents clearly.

The note said: [Choose Campbell King Aldrich Campbell. 】

Alice closed it silently, pressed it on her buttocks, and ate the cake with her head down, without looking at the old king.

After eating, Alice cherished the cover of the handkerchief, licked the remaining sweetness on her lips, and then wiped her mouth gracefully with the handkerchief.

The king was introducing Alice's deeds to the suitors, but unfortunately his daughter had nothing to introduce except for her good looks, so the king finished his speech indifferently, and the topic changed to his queen who died young, who was also Alice's biological mother.

The poor queen was sick all the year round, and before she was finally picked up by the god of death, she said that her last wish was to wish Alice a healthy and happy life.

Speaking of his beloved wife who passed away, the old king habitually shed a few tears in front of the crowd, causing the surroundings to fall into a sigh of relief.

Alice fidgeted in this atmosphere and took a sip of water. After the old king finished speaking, she closed her eyes and regained her indifference.

Finally, it was the turn of the suitors at the banquet to introduce themselves to Alice one by one.

Alice did not look at them at all.She raised her head slightly, picked on everyone's appearance from the corner of her eye, spit out sharp thorns, and didn't care at all that destroying her reputation would make her unable to marry.

The old king watched, staring angrily.

The unlucky guy who was ridiculed soon became the turn of a man with a gentle temperament. He had black hair and black eyes, long curly hair combed simply behind his head, and a beard. He was well-groomed and had an outstanding temperament. Can't fault anything.

When he spoke, his voice was very deep and pleasant, like a specially trained actor.

Alice actually likes beautiful people. When she saw him, her eyes moved slightly, but when she heard his name, her eyes as blue as sea water became serious.

Aldrich Campbell... so it was Aldrich Campbell.

Alice didn't become peaceful under his gentle gaze, but the aura around her became sharper.

She leaned forward, approached Aldrich, interrupted Aldrich's words under Aldrich's stunned gaze, and said slowly: "You look good, but unfortunately, your chin is too raised, like a thrush mouth, especially funny."

Aldrich was stunned for a moment, he was well-mannered and had no bad face.He just shook his head and smiled, and didn't introduce himself any more. He saluted and walked back to his seat without any hesitation.

When he turned around, Alice also fell silent. She grabbed a few grapes on the table and ate them, feeling the glaring gaze cast on her by her father.

This time, the banquet for suitors was once again deliberately messed up by Alice.

Alice didn't think she would be punished, but she never thought that her father's visit was real.

After the banquet, as soon as she returned to her palace, she was so tired that she lay down on the bed and went to sleep.But when the moon climbed to the top, her father came to her palace with a group of servants in a rage to wake her up.

"I've told you countless times, but you still disappoint me and ignore my words. Since you have been disobedient and insisted on disobeying the orders I wrote to you, I will obey your wishes and treat you as my daughter. He finished speaking in a calm voice, and commanded in front of all the servants, "Come on, hurry up and wait in front of the palace gate. The first person you see is to pull him in. Anyone can!"

The palace servant didn't know why, so he really went to pull the first passerby he saw, a beggar who smelled like alcohol.

Alice had never seen such a person before, and was immediately taken aback.

The beggar's dirty hair covered half of his face, and he was out of tune with everything in this palace, but the old king didn't blink, and said cruelly to his daughter who had been holding him for 18 years: "Alice, it's not my fault, everything You chose it yourself. You will be married tonight, away from my palace."

Of course Alice was afraid, but she was more in a trance. She didn't believe that her father would treat her like that.

But her father really took her hand personally, ignored her screams and resistance, forced her into the arms of that disgusting beggar, and forced her to complete a wedding that was not a wedding at all. A priest unilaterally decides her life.

When Alice and the beggar were kicked out of the palace, she cried so hard that she finally broke down and said to her father and king inside the palace gate: "You can't leave me, you can't! You forgot that my queen mother died before she died. How did she tell you? She asked you to protect my health and happiness for the rest of my life, and you promised. "

The blue eyes of the old king like Alice were glowing quietly, but unfortunately they were blue like icebergs. He said coldly: "But you are sorry for your mother, and you are also sorry for me. I don't want to have someone like you A wayward and arrogant daughter."

Alice was crying so hard that she couldn't speak, and the tears kept falling. Under the moonlight, her tear-filled face was as beautiful as crystal. .

But the king held back. He seemed to have completely lost expectations of this daughter for a long time. He advised: "When you get married, remember to live a good life and stop being willful. This world is very bleak, without comparison. , you never know what happiness is.

I hope you learn to be content and know what you should do and what you should not do, so that you can truly understand what is health and happiness. "

The door of the palace was slammed shut in front of Alice and her new beggar husband. Alice couldn't stand upright from crying, squatting on the ground, shrinking in her own shadow under the moonlight, like an abandoned orphan.

She was indeed an orphan.

The husband beside her waited for her for a while, then squatted in front of her, patted her on the head, and said firmly: "Don't cry, will crying be useful? I miss you, I will teach you how to live... ..."

Alice did not expect that he was still there.

This man had witnessed all her misery, gained her, and spoke in such a condescending tone to educate her.

Alice suddenly raised her cold face. Her complexion was originally as white as snow, but now her face was pale, like a female ghost.She said viciously to the beggar: "Get out! Get out of the way, who wants your pity!"

The beggar was stunned, but he didn't care about her scolding.

He added fuel to the flames and took advantage of the fire to rob, knowing that Alice could no longer bear any stimulation in this state, he smiled viciously, approached Alice, pulled out a sharp knife, and smiled crookedly: "I won't leave, the king married you Give it to me, you are my property, I am poor enough, I will give up my property if I am crazy."

After finishing speaking, he easily controlled Alice's movement with a knife, so that the two of them walked all the way to the door of a certain hotel on this street.

There are several horses tied in front of the gate.

"I don't know whose horse it is." The beggar smiled presumptuously, and touched the horse's head. The horses lowered their heads in fear and let him touch it. I don't know if these animals are sensitive to something.

"Princess Alice, right?" He showed his white and neat teeth, reflecting the cold light in the moonlight, "My name is Jack Bill. After you marry me, you will be called Mrs. Bill. I will also call you Mrs. Bill. Does it sound much better than your Princess Alice?"

If Alice hadn't been afraid of his sharp knife, she really wanted to tear him apart with her own hands.

She glanced at him with hatred, but when she saw the magnificent palace not far away from the corner of her eye, she was in a daze for a moment, and silently buried her hatred and sorrow.
