I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

"You, who are you?"

After the golden light disappeared completely, Luo Lisa, who calmed down a little, stared at Pei Xiang vigilantly and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Don't you recognize who I am?" Pei Xiang's eyes were calm, and there was a touch of soothing emotion in his voice.

Luo Lisa pursed her lips, and hid her blood-stained hands behind her back.In fact, she already had guesses in her mind. After all, she had often seen the magical image of Pei Xiang in her mother Joanna's place since she could remember.

It's just that Pei Xiang and Esfar appeared too suddenly, and the timing...was too special and coincidental. She was really surprised and apprehensive.

"Are you... Aunt Amy?"

"It's me, you're Rorisa, right?"

Pei Xiang glanced at the mess on the indoor carpet from the corner of his eye, and guessed that there had just been an extremely fierce quarrel here, accompanied by the behavior of venting by beating and smashing things, but he didn't know whether the two parties in the quarrel had made a move.

"I'm Luo Lisa, that..." Luo Lisa's face was pale, and she suddenly didn't know what to say, "That, Amy, I..."

Pei Xiang raised his hand suddenly, motioning for Luo Lisa to listen to her first:

"Luo Lisa, I must hurry up and return to the sea area. Staying here will only add danger and trouble to you and me. If you need my help, you must speak up as soon as possible."

Luo Lisa took a deep breath, her eyes slowly slid across the corpse of her husband she once loved deeply, and then she closed her eyes to cover up those complex and melancholy.She said clearly and firmly:

"Aunt Amy, if possible, please take me to hide in Haiguo. I have evidence that this man tried to poison me, and I have secretly sent my confidants to seek help from my parents. But today...some accident happened.

"If I continue to stay here, they will execute me indiscriminately, and will frame me as a dark witch, an evil monster, and even damage the reputation of my family. I hope... Wait for my family to send After the envoys arrived in the Kingdom of Reese, I reappeared and confronted the royal family of the Kingdom of Reese."

Pei Xiang nodded slightly, and did not continue to ask further questions.She really needs to hurry up and leave the land area at this time, so as not to give Esfar's enemies a chance.

So, after getting Luo Lisa's answer, Pei Xiang flew up and hugged her waist, and directly cast teleportation magic to disappear in the magnificent Palace of Rees.

The royal palace of the Kingdom of Reese was built by the sea, so Pei Xiang chose the turbulent sea as the foothold for casting short-distance teleportation magic.

The moment his whole body was submerged in the sea, Pei Xiang's legs turned into beautiful fish tails, swimming lightly and gracefully.She protected Luo Lisa, who could not turn into a mermaid, and swam toward the depths of the sea without looking back, leaving all the chaos on the mainland behind.

Not long after Pei Xiang left with Luo Lisa, the bishop of Rees received an oracle instruction, saying that a dark force had invaded the palace and would kill members of the royal family, and they needed to detain and monitor relevant suspicious persons.

So, the archbishop rushed into the residence of the crown prince with several high-ranking priests and knights of the Holy See, trying to capture and destroy the evil person, but...it was too late.

"The crown prince was stabbed in the heart and died accidentally. The princess disappeared, maybe she was taken away by the murderer. Also, the murder weapon mentioned in the oracle was not found at the scene..."

At the same time, Pei Xiang, who returned to the mermaid country, was hugged and kissed by relatives.

We haven't seen each other for more than [-] years. His Majesty King Hubert and the old grandmother don't seem to have changed much. The two elders are still dignified and dignified, and the other is kind and elegant.

But from their point of view, the children who have returned from a long journey have grown up a lot.The innocence and carefreeness have faded away, and the little princess who has experienced many hardships has become more stable and mature.

"Amy, why did you bring Lorisa back?"

Pei Xiang sighed and motioned for Luo Lisa to report the specific situation to the two elders.

It turned out that more than two years ago, there was a rift in the relationship between Luo Lisa and her husband.The reason is very old-fashioned, a man's love can't last long, how warm and sincere it was at the beginning, how cold and hypocritical it is after a change of heart.

His Royal Highness, a romantic prince, fell in love with an innocent and sweet noble girl, and began to dislike the bold and straightforward Lolisa.Especially when Luo Lisa, who was frustrated in her married life, began to show her political talent, her husband completely ignored his wife.

He accused Luo Lisa of lacking in women's gentleness, virtuousness, innocence and humility, and believed that she was dictating Lisbon's internal affairs and being ambitious.In a word, when he didn't love her, it was wrong for her to even breathe and blink.

While Luo Lisa was still looking for a way to make up for the rift in her marriage, her husband was already thinking about how to give his new beloved girl a bright and aboveboard identity.

After repeated sadness and disappointment, Luo Lisa, who was in pain and confusion, remembered the dagger that her mother Joanna let her carry before she got married, and thought of the sad story of her aunt Amy, and couldn't help being horrified.

At that moment, Luo Lisa realized very clearly that if she continued like this, her life would be buried in the icy palace of Reese Kingdom.Even if she has been living without food and clothing, the joy and joy in life will eventually leave her forever. This is definitely not the future she is looking forward to.

Therefore, the reinvigorated Luo Lisa no longer prayed for her husband's change of heart, but concentrated all her energy on fighting for power.Since she was accused of being an ambitious woman, she couldn't live up to her name.

At this point, Luo Lisa began to look at her crown prince husband with the eyes of a competitor, and soon became aware of the other party's plot to murder her.While she was frightened and angry, she also started to save herself and look for opportunities to fight back.

But there are always surprises in life.After all, her husband is the Crown Prince of Reese Kingdom and has a natural status and power advantage.

He probably got the faint wind from somewhere, so he rushed to Luo Lisa's bedroom to question her angrily, and asked her to send someone to recover the confidant who sent the letter immediately, but Luo Lisa naturally refused and would not admit it.As a result, a fierce quarrel broke out between the two at that time.

Earlier today, the crown prince came to see Luo Lisa, tore up the family letter asking for help in front of her, and told Luo Lisa that the confidant who sent her the letter had been killed by him himself.The crown prince announced that from now on, he was going to lock up Rorisa and deprive her of her freedom completely.

Letters from her family were blocked, her confidant was killed, and she was about to be deprived of her freedom. The isolated and helpless Luo Lisa was shocked. She knew that once she was put under house arrest, she would really not be able to survive.

So Luo Lisa, who was angry and frightened, pulled out the dagger she carried with her and stabbed her husband's heart fiercely.

Then, Pei Xiang and Esfar appeared...

Luo Lisa's narration stopped here temporarily, because she didn't know why Pei Xiang appeared suddenly.

Looking at the Hai people coming and going in the hall, Pei Xiang swallowed the real reason why he suddenly appeared in the Palace of Rees, and found a simple excuse temporarily.She said that she was anxious to find the dagger and go home, so she used the teleportation array, but she didn't expect to bump into the murder scene as soon as she arrived at the destination.

As for why the dagger belonging to Pei Xiang appeared in the Palace of Rees, this is another short story.

While everyone was listening carefully to Luo Lisa's explanation, Pei Xiang lightly touched the dagger at his waist, thinking silently about Asfar's current situation.

"I hope everything goes well, and there will be no accidents, Esfar." Pei Xiang murmured softly.

Probably there was a telepathy between the lovers. Just when Pei Xiang was worried about her boyfriend, the dagger at her waist suddenly trembled slightly.Then, Asfar's deep voice sounded in her mind:

"Amy, have you returned to the sea?"

"Well, we're home, and we brought Luo Lisa back. How are you doing? Did you encounter any trouble after returning to the main body?"

"No, everything in the abyss is as usual. Moreover, the curse power mixed with my original magic power has become weaker, and it is no longer as difficult to get rid of as before."

"It's a bit strange," Pei Xiang murmured in his consciousness. "Although it's a good thing, I always feel that this benefit comes out of nowhere. Is it because you fulfilled the prophesied conditions that your body can be repaired faster? Why? ? Just a little blood of Heqiu’s descendants, can it have such an effect? ​​He’s not the blood of a god.”

Asfar's chuckle came, and he suddenly sighed:

"Amy, you're always sober, and you're especially cute when you ask questions."

Pei Xiang couldn't help but bend his eyebrows, flicked the tail of the fish happily, and then said in a reserved manner:

"Although you can't see my appearance at present, I have the right to treat you as telling the truth."

Esfar laughed again, and the laughter fell on Pei Xiang's heart like a white and light feather, which made her miss her boyfriend who hadn't been separated very much.

But Pei Xiang's tenderness only lasted three seconds, and he was soon distracted by curiosity.

"By the way, Asfar, do you know why that prophecy came true?"

Esfar didn't know the real treatment he was getting, so he remained calm.

"Well, your doubts are very reasonable. Those few conditions alone can't reduce the effect of the curse. I also discovered it when I returned to the abyss through the dagger channel. It is Alice's blood that can really affect the curse. Sacrifice. The other conditions are only used to appease Alice's unwillingness."

Pei Xiang immediately changed his sitting position, waiting eagerly for Esfar's explanation.

"Amy, when the silver light hit, Alice subconsciously used a dagger to block her body. That dagger happened to have the original magic power and a touch of consciousness left by me, so I recorded the details at that time.

"Before she died, Alice made a sacrifice with the secret method of her family, and she was willing to use her own blood power to dissolve the power of the curse. But she was too obsessed with that prophecy, and subconsciously added some additional conditions for the success of the sacrifice, It is to fulfill the requirements of the prophecy.”

Pei Xiang was slightly taken aback, and asked in confirmation:

"That is to say, the sacrifice could have been directly successful, but because of the obsession in the heart of the witch Alice, it was forced to increase the steps?"

Esfar responded lightly.

Pei Xiang couldn't help but become more entangled with things like prophecy, she couldn't help but murmured and asked:

"Did the prophecy guide Witch Alice, or did Witch Alice create the prophecy?"

At this time, the old grandmother's angry voice came from diagonally opposite, interrupting Pei Xiang's thoughts:

"Are you worrying about Luo Lisa, Amy? Oh, don't worry too much, you just bring her to the sea. It was the prince of Reese who first poisoned my little Luo Lisa, so he got You deserved punishment. Amy dear, don't be affected by the strange ideas of human beings. In our sea, this is a normal act of revenge.

"If you ask me, we should have a celebration party for Rolisa. She is a truly brave child who dared to take up arms to protect herself and infuse her own glory with blood!

"Oh, she's much stronger than you were before, Amy. To be honest, I've been thinking about it all these years. You are a child I personally taught and grew up. How can you be so weak? Really, really..."

As she spoke, the old queen flicked the fish's tail angrily, and the magic power oscillated instantly, causing huge splashes to burst in the water not far away, startling a group of small fish that were swimming freely.

Pei Xiang blinked, feeling that it would be better to show a cute and well-behaved smile than to say anything at this time.

Sure enough, facing the little granddaughter who was smiling sweetly, the old grandmother's anger suddenly weakened a lot.In addition, Luo Lisa's matter was still unresolved, so she decided not to settle accounts with her wayward little granddaughter for the time being.

——Anyway, I have already returned home, and the days to come will be long.

Pei Xiang knew that there was still Qiu Hou Zhang waiting for her, but what could she do?Fortunately, everyone is currently concentrating on Luo Lisa and can't take care of her for the time being.

After listening to Luo Lisa's narration, the old Queen Mother and His Majesty Hubert quickly reported to Arthur and Joanna with the unique communication method of the Sea Clan, making sure that Luo Lisa's parents get accurate information as soon as possible.

"Okay, you can live at the bottom of the sea first. Luo Lisa, keep the evidence that your late husband wants to poison you, and when you confront the royal family of Reese in the future, let everyone see the ugly face of their country's crown prince."

The old queen made a decision, Luo Lisa nodded slowly, panic and bewilderment still remained in the depths of her eyes.

After a long while, she shivered again. At this moment, this young woman who had been quite calm and organized before seemed to finally realize that she had killed a man she had loved and hated deeply before. .

"Aunt Amy, if it were you, what would you..."

"Don't ask her, she might still be confused."

Princess Madeleine, who hurried back from the outside, swam into the hall. She hugged Pei Xiang for a while, then turned her head and suggested to Luo Lisa:

"You go to my place to take a bottle of potion in a while, which is made by the elves, and it will allow you to stay in the seabed for a month. After a month, this matter should come to fruition."

Luo Lisa also relied more on the eldest princess she had known since she was a child, so she agreed immediately.

Pei Xiang pretended to be dissatisfied and complained: "Why am I confused? I am not the Amy I was 30 years ago now."

Madeleine laughed and shook her head, half-seriously and half-jokingly suggested:

"If you really want to put us at ease, throw away that marble human male sculpture in your little garden first, so that I can see your change."

Hearing this, Pei Xiang nodded very simply, and agreed:

"Okay, in order to reassure Her Royal Highness Princess Madeleine, I will definitely remove that sculpture."

The old grandmother on the side immediately muttered in a loud voice:

"What's the point of removing only one sculpture? Does anyone know if there is a second or third sculpture of a human male? Let me tell you, after the space is vacant, let's just erect a sculpture of the Lord of the Sea Clan."

Pei Xiang immediately shook her head violently, thinking that she would never do such a slutty behavior of putting her boyfriend's sculpture in the small garden every day.

But when she shook her head, she obviously misunderstood the old grandmother and others, and everyone showed a worried expression in unison.

Seeing this, Pei Xiang quickly found an excuse and said:

"No, I'm not reluctant to bear the statue of the marble human man, uh, I just don't want to erect the statue of Esfar, um, His Majesty. Well, I remember that we didn't dare to mention that His Majesty before, nor I know his appearance too well, that is...you can’t make a strange sculpture as the master of the sea clan, right? How disrespectful, isn’t it?”

"Oh, you're worrying about that," the old grandmother breathed a sigh of relief, then waved her hands indifferently, "It doesn't matter, the situation is different now. I don't remember when it started, um, probably Before you ran away from home, or before and after the disappearance of the sea witch, many powerful sea people who were erratic or secluded showed up one after another. With them, we, the younger generation of sea people born within a thousand years, can always hear about that The great deeds of His Majesty. After hearing this a lot, it is not as strange and frightening as before."

"Then... do you all know what His Majesty Asfar looks like?"

Pei Xiang slightly raised his eyebrows, thinking that when he was a guest at Joanna's house before, he didn't notice that she was acting strangely to Asfar's appearance.

The old grandmother shook her head regretfully, and sighed:

"This is not clear. However, it is said that some sea people have seen General Lilahart recently. Do you know him? He has been with His Majesty all the time, and he is one of His Majesty's most trusted right-hand men. Before His Majesty fell asleep, he also The order to seal up the waters near the Sea Palace was conveyed by General Lilahart, alas, His Majesty left us after that."

Pei Xiang, Madeleine and other juniors were used to listening to the old grandmother tell stories, so they all nodded, expressing that they remembered the general who was respected by the Hai people, and then they all waited curiously for the next step.

The old grandmother touched the beautiful oysters and amber inlaid on the tail of the fish, and said in a gentle tone:

"His Majesty Asfar is powerful. Without his permission, no magic image can be left behind. But General Lilahart is very good at painting and sculpture. It is said that the years he disappeared was to go to the elves and dwarves to study art. Yes. Now that he has returned from his studies, he is definitely the most artistic general in our Hai Clan."

"So?" Pei Xiang had a bad premonition.

"So, for the sake of our ancestor General Heinsey, General Leilahart will definitely be willing to give us a statue of the Lord of the Sea Clan. Well, I have decided that when the time comes, His Majesty Asfar must be The Yingwei sculpture stands in Amy's small garden. Amy, you must remember to present flowers to His Majesty every day~"

Pei Xiang: ...
