I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

After Pei Xiang returned to Danfeng Castle, the second prince Arthur, who had been waiting in front of the gate for a long time, helped her get off the carriage. After a distance between the two of them and the attendants and guards, they began to exchange their respective achievements today.

"I have quietly sent someone to contact those two tailors. They really are money-seeking liars. As long as they give a sufficient price and an appropriate threat, they can talk about it."

Pei Xiang smiled and nodded, and drew a few lines of magic writing in front of the two of them:

"I told Archbishop Douglas about my dream, and specifically mentioned the name 'Helena'. From his reaction, it can be judged that the story in Lilia's magical picture book is indeed true. Women's clothing mixed with the Sea Clan, and became good girlfriends with the witch Alice."

Arthur's expression was a bit complicated, he sighed:

"It never occurred to me that in a children's adventure story book, there would be hidden historical truth. When I read that story, my brother always thought it was made up by the author, like many bards It is as unbelievable as anyone who is keen to fabricate the adventures of the brave Hechon."

"That book is precious."

"Yes, it is very precious." Arthur thought of his mother who died young when he gave the book to Lilia, and felt a little miss in his heart.

"The queen loves you very much, and her gifts have helped her children time and time again," Pei Xiang wrote.

"We miss her all the time and hope she is happy and happy in heaven."

Arthur thought of his mother's love and tender kiss, his brows were as soft as the warm spring sun.

"Thank you too, Amy. You are like an angel sent by our mother to protect and help us, and also a magical and omnipotent fairy. Since you appeared, the fate of our brothers and sisters has undergone a major turning point. Suffering is like ice and snow. Melting, the sun finally broke through the dark clouds, everything is going in the right direction."

Pei Xiang tilted his head slightly, his eyes glanced at Prince Arthur's gentle and handsome face, he was a little unsure whether his tenderness at this time was because he mentioned his mother, or because... he had a crush on her?

"Amy." The dagger in his mind suddenly made a sound, interrupting Pei Xiang's thoughts.

"Ok?"

"That mermaid scale in your hand came from your sisters?"

"Yes," Pei Xiang was attracted by the question that happened first, "Is there any problem?"

"The magic fluctuations on it are not very pure. Before you became a royal family, which branch of the mermaid clan did you belong to?"

Pei Xiang thought for a while, then explained slowly:

"In the memory of the little mermaid, the current royal family of mermaids are all descendants of Heinsey. Thousands of years ago, after His Majesty Asfar was sealed, the sea tribes had no monarch to submit to, so they established several sea kingdoms. After that, everyone retreated to the deepest part of the deep sea together, and no longer communicated frequently with humans and other continental creatures."

"Heinsey..." Esfar recalled for a moment, remembering that he was a general under his command.Heinsey was once in charge of patrolling and searching the gaps in the abyss of the sea to prevent too much abyssal magic from leaking out and polluting the living environment of the sea people. He is a steady and cautious male mermaid.

"What do you mean by impure, that the dagger is first born?" Pei Xiang asked in his heart.

Esfar pondered and said: "The fishtail scales of the mermaids are closely related to their own magic origin. The more perfect and delicate the scales, the richer the information contained in them, and they can even be used as unique identification. Amy, I have On the scale on your body, you can feel a trace of extremely faint mixed blood."

Pei Xiang was slightly startled, thoughtful.

"Is it mixed with the blood of other sea people?"

"No, it's human, but not quite."

"I don't quite understand, Mr. Dagger."

"Among the ancestors of your body, probably one of them was not born a mermaid, but became a mermaid through other means. Therefore, the blood and magic power passed down by the other party will be slightly different from that of a true pure mermaid."

This statement made Pei Xiang's thoughts spin, and she thought of many things, but she was most concerned about one thing at the moment:

"Is this phenomenon easy to detect? The relatives of the little mermaid are all royal family now, will they be rebelled because of this issue?"

Asfar signaled Pei Xiang not to worry too much, and he explained in a light tone:

"Only the very powerful Sea Clan can perceive those subtle differences. Since Heinsey's descendants have become the royal family and have been passed on for several generations, it means that those powerful Sea Clans who can detect this situation have acquiesced in this matter, So, you don't have to worry too much."

Pei Xiang tentatively asked: "How powerful is the sea clan that has this ability? Is it a top-notch powerhouse like His Majesty Asfar?"

"No need, both the witch Alice and the ancestor of the little mermaid, General Heinsey."

"It turns out that Heinsi is so powerful," Pei Xiang sighed in his heart, "It's a pity that his descendants are much weaker, and they can't defeat the unpredictable sea witch. By the way, the dagger was first born, why are you at the sea witch's place? "

"I don't know, some things happened after I fell asleep." Esfar replied simply.

"Then do you know why she sent you to me?" Pei Xiang took the opportunity to ask, but he didn't expect Mr. Dagger to answer.

Sure enough, Esfar fell silent again, avoiding questions related to himself as always.

At this time, the second prince Arthur who was walking beside Pei Xiang said in a good mood:

"Bishop Douglas will definitely tell the king of Burleigh that you met the witch Alice in your dream. This incident will definitely shake their intention to marry, and wait until the two tailors we bribed talk nonsense, They will definitely find ways to refuse the marriage."

"Arthur, be careful that they destroy Lilia's reputation." Seeing that Mr. Dagger stopped talking, Pei Xiang turned his attention back to the second prince and quickly wrote a few lines, "If there is any change, Please don't rush to agree to their conditions, delay it, write a letter to your father and king for instructions, and then agree to the divorce."

Arthur nodded slightly, and assured in a gentle voice:

"Thank you for your reminder and concern, Amy, I will not let anyone blame Lilia for the failure of the marriage."

Pei Xiang smiled sweetly, and no longer reminded her.She believed that the second prince Arthur would know how to protect his sister.

Arthur looked sideways at the flowery smile of the girl beside him, feeling tender in his heart.

He also thought of Pei Xiang's help for Lilia, and couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. As an elder brother, he was really not as good as Pei Xiang in protecting and helping his sister.

Almost instantly, Arthur made a decision.

"Don't worry, Amy, if Bolaiguo really intends to dissolve the engagement, I will deal with it directly, without letting anyone or anything get in the way."

Pei Xiang looked up in surprise, and asked silently:

"You want to surpass your father? Even if he wrote a letter expressing his disapproval of the annulment of the marriage, will you take 'Princess Lilia' away from the Burleigh Kingdom?"

Arthur looked firm, nodded and said:

"Amy, neither you nor 'Lilia' will stay here. Please believe me, you both deserve a better marriage."

"Even if His Majesty the King sends a letter to stop it, and may even send new envoys to negotiate terms, are you willing to continue fighting for Lilia's happiness?"

"Yes," Arthur stopped, turned to face Pei Xiang, and said with burning eyes, "Maybe, no, I have already made a decision, and I refuse to write a letter to the country to report the matter until the engagement is officially terminated. I will explain this matter to my father personally until all the dust settles and cannot be turned back."

Pei Xiang raised his eyebrows lightly, knowing that Arthur had taken a great risk in making this decision.Once he makes his own claims or disregards the king's order, he will inevitably face reprimand or even more severe punishment after returning.

"You are a good brother." Pei Xiang smiled, his watery eyes reflected Arthur's resolute and courageous face,

"Amy..." Arthur leaned slightly, feeling that the atmosphere was just right, and he wanted to take this opportunity to say something from his heart.

"Amy," the dagger in Pei Xiang's mind seemed to have just woken up from a silent trance, and he continued the conversation between the two of them very naturally, "You asked me many times why the sea witch gave you the dagger, I have not answered. The reason... is not that I can’t or don’t want to say it, but because I’m not completely sure of the specific reason.”

Pei Xiang froze for a moment, and was immediately aroused with great curiosity.

"Is there anything else you don't know?"

"I'm not omniscient."

"But this matter is closely related to you."

"But I have been asleep for a thousand years. 1000 years ago, there was not a sea witch in the sea, nor..."

"there is nothing?"

"There is no such dagger."

Pei Xiang subconsciously touched the dagger hanging on her waist, and her mind was tumbling. At this moment, Arthur's palm suddenly flashed in front of her eyes, interrupting her communication with Asfar.

"Amy, you're distracted again." Arthur sighed helplessly, after all, he didn't say what was in his heart.

Pei Xiang didn't realize that she might have missed a confession, and she barely concentrated on responding to the friend in front of her.

"Sorry, I suddenly thought of an important question just now, I need to go back to my room and think quietly for a while."

After reading Pei Xiang's explanation, Arthur thought she had a new inspiration for magic research, although she was disappointed but also considerate.He politely made a "please" gesture, and watched Pei Xiang leave in a hurry with a smile on his face.

"Didn't you have this dagger thousands of years ago?" Pei Xiang asked curiously after returning to the room.

Esfar said slowly: "No. The material of this dagger is special. I can be sure that it was forged after I fell asleep."

"how about you?"

"I felt your sword intent through the dagger, and also connected with you through the dagger."

"So, you and the dagger are two separate entities? Are you in the dagger now?"

"...No, the dagger is a channel, connecting the space where I sleep."

Pei Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked curiously:

"Why did you suddenly confess these things? When I asked you before, you were silent."

Esfal paused. In fact, he didn't quite understand where the sudden impulse came from, so he answered honestly:

"Suddenly I wanted to say it."

Pei Xiang raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking, this is indeed Dagger's usual speaking style.

"Then what should I call you, Mr. I don't know where?"

"You should have guessed it."

"I've always avoided being smart."

"Esfar, my name."
