[Comprehensive Fairy Tale] A long, long time ago

[-]. The Swan Princess in the Candy House

John nodded: "She...is different." John's hesitant appearance successfully aroused Lilith's curiosity: "Who is it?" "..." John frowned, showing a rare It seemed to be a very embarrassed expression, "If you can see her, you will understand."

Lilith raised her eyebrows and closed her mouth—it seemed to be some kind of extraordinary person, forget it, let's not ask.It is better to have less curiosity if it will cause trouble.

It's just that I don't know if it's fate or what. Not long after the three of them walked away with one wolf, they suddenly smelled a sweet and greasy fragrance in the air.At first Lilith thought it was her own illusion, but the smell became stronger as she walked, and soon became too strong to be ignored.

Lilith's expression became more and more strange, and she couldn't hold back: "...Is this the smell of pastries and candies?" Why does it smell like this in the Everglades?It's not tinderbox magic, is it?

John's eyelashes trembled, and he sighed: "Let's go, go there, weren't you curious just now?" Lilith turned her head to look at Monica: "...Is it just me who doesn't know?" Ka looked at the sky and the earth: "Go ahead, nothing will happen anyway."

When did these two people become so in harmony... Lilith touched her arm, trying to rub off the goosebumps.After walking for a while, the field of vision in front of me suddenly widened, as if it had been artificially trimmed.Lilith's heart rose a little bit—what does a witch living in the Everglades look like?

Soon, a small house gradually appeared in front of the three of them. The closer it was, the stronger the sweet fragrance became, and the appearance of the house was also revealed in front of the three of them.Lilith observed carefully, and couldn't help but exclaimed a little: "This...is this made of biscuits?!"

In that small house, the roof is made of cakes, the walls are made of biscuits, the windows are transparent glass, and the flowers around are all candies.The smell that Lilith smelled came from the house in front of her.Lilith was dumbfounded, she licked her lips: "...how did this house get built?"

The technical difficulty is not small, even if this thing has been exposed to the outside for a long time, it can still maintain this freshness, which is quite amazing... Lilith has no idea of ​​eating, one is not afraid, and the other is not hungry.

John looked at the house with complicated eyes.He hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Let's go." Lilith followed behind John, and the three of them walked to the biscuit door. John reached out and knocked: "Ariana?"

There were footsteps in the house, and the door opened after a while, and a curly brown-haired beauty grabbed the doorknob with a surprised expression.John nodded at her: "Passing by, come and see you."

Arianna smiled at John, and Lilith immediately felt that the sun in the sky seemed to be a little brighter - this woman is so beautiful!It just seems that she is not young anymore... Even if it is well maintained, temperament cannot be deceived.

Ariana welcomed John and the others into the room. Although the candy house is small, it has everything you need. Ariana decorated the house very warmly. With the sweet aroma, Lilith felt a little better—— Ignoring the maintenance of the house and the surrounding environment, it is indeed a good place.

Arianna poured a few cups of tea, set them up for them, and then sat next to John, looking at him with very kind eyes.Lilith felt that something was not right, she looked back and forth between Ariana and John, and thought that she might have seen some signs - these two people look alike.

John took a sip from his teacup and didn't look at Ariana: "How are you doing?" Ariana nodded with a smile, and John didn't ask too much: "If there's something missing, go to the king for it." Ariel Anna opened her mouth, but did not make a sound. She hastily found a pen and paper, and wrote a sentence - I don't need anything, so I won't bother your father if I have nothing to do.

Ariana can't speak?Lilith glanced at her with some sympathy: It's a pity that such a beautiful person can't speak.John sighed, and put the teacup on the table: "Queen Mother, King Father won't leave you alone, don't force yourself if you have nothing to do."

... Lilith looked at Monica with a dazed look on her face, but Monica couldn't bear to look directly at her and nodded.Lilith felt a thunder crackle in her mind—Is Ariana John's mother? !

Arianna's smiling face faded a little bit, and there was sadness in her beautiful black eyes. She patted the back of John's hand and wrote another sentence on the paper: What are you doing here?

John said: "I'm here to find the magic lamp." Ariana's writing hands trembled, she looked at John in disbelief, and John finally looked at Ariana: "I won't go back. In the swamp, we must find the magic lamp."

But it's dangerous there!Ariana grabbed John's hand with anxiety written all over her face - you can't go!John smiled instead. He didn't have much expression on his face, but his own mother, Ariana, was slightly taken aback by his smile.John pulled out his hand and said, "Mom, I will definitely go, for myself and for you."

It's over, it's over, it seems to be caught in some hidden situation again.Lilith felt that the whole person was not well, she stood up suddenly, and the three of them looked at her, Lilith said: "Where is the toilet...?"

When she came out of the toilet, Monica was waiting at the door.Lilith wasn't surprised either - in this case, John would definitely not explain it to her in person, and of course it would be more convenient for Monica, who obviously knew the situation.

"John and Ariana are talking." The brothers Monica put Lilith's shoulders nicely, "Let me tell you what's going on."

Lilith opened Monica's hand without looking sideways: "Is it planned?" Monica laughed a few times, and then quickly straightened her face: "Ariana is the Swan Princess."

The hurt Lilith almost couldn't say a word in her throat: "...the Swan Princess?" The cursed country."

Lilith's eyes widened: "Eleven brothers turned into wild swans? Then why does Queen Ariana live here?" "The way to break the curse is to weave eleven nettle clothes," Monica rushed Nodding in one corner, "Look over there."

Lilith looked along and saw a pile of unfinished clothes in the corner, which were the legendary nettle clothes.Wait, what's wrong?Lilith walked over and looked through it, and looked back at Monica with a look of disbelief: "... Eleven? Are you sure it's eleven or not eleven?"

There are all kinds of clothes here, all kinds of styles, even underwear... Lilith put the things back after looking at two or three pieces: "When will this be weaved!" "This is the second wave." "Yes," Monica sighed, "When Ariana escaped before, her brothers took her to the Everglades. There was no such house at that time, and Ariana really had a hard time in the swamps alone. "

"Later, she temporarily settled in the Everglades, looking for nettles every day, and started weaving when she came back at night." Monica rubbed her chin. "And then... I met John's father."

The king of the country of Mizusawa...was he still a prince at that time?Lilith looked at the pile of nettle clothes and murmured, "The king has fallen in love with Ariana." "Yeah, but Ariana can't speak until the nettle clothes are finished." Monica said, " But John's father took Ariana back to the palace, the two got married, and Ariana became queen."

"However, after becoming queen, Ariana is still weaving nettle clothes every day, but this time the nettles are provided by the royal family." Monica wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lilith: "I Got it, something must have happened later, right? For example, the queen was treated as a witch and was going to be burned to death?"

Monica nodded: "That's it, the guess is quite accurate." "Generally speaking, this is the development," Lilith rolled her eyes, "Who wants to kill the queen?" "The old queen .” Monica folded her arms and leaned against the wall, “Older people are always more reserved.”

Here, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are at odds... Monica didn't know how to comment, so she just listened to what Monica had to say.Monica continued: "The old queen tied up the queen while the king was out hunting, and said she was a monster, and she was going to be burned to death."

This is not very good... Lilith turned her head to look at the living room on the other side: "Ariana is also very sad." "Fortunately, the king came back in time, so he rescued his queen from the pillar." Monica The voice was very calm, "It's just that those nettle clothes were all burned at that time."

Lilith gasped: "Is this the second batch?" "Ariana was already pregnant at the time, and after such a toss, John was born in a short time," Monica said, "And then Ariana I just insisted on going back to the Everglades, and I don't know how much paper was wasted to convince the king."

It's obviously a very heavy thing, but it's a bit funny to say it like this.Lilith couldn't help laughing and said, "The king still trusts Ariana." "The beauty that I pursued so hard is of course very important. John's character is more or less influenced by his mother." Monica Stretching, "So, that's it."

Lilith hummed, and couldn't help asking: "What about Queen Ariana's eleven brothers?" Monica smiled mysteriously: "We will see you at night." ()
