"Joanna, hurry up and keep up.”
Elizabeth's slender arms rolled up her skirt and happily rushed into the hall on the first floor of the library. She even turned around and grumbled to the count's maid in dissatisfaction.
Joanna sighed." I'm old. I'm more than a thousand years old. How can I be as energetic as a twenty-year-old princess?"”
Despite her words, she still appeared beside Elizabeth in a flash.
"Where should we start? There are too many books here."
"Let the librarian here help you find it. He knows where every book is.”
Joanna said.
"Why don't we forget about it? It's daytime now. The administrator is probably resting.”Elizabeth hesitated for a moment before saying.
Joanna curled her lips and said disdainfully,""Servants are meant to be ordered around. Have you gone crazy from studying? You're the princess, Elizabeth! Wait here, I'll go call him."
At this moment, footsteps came from the stairs.
A slender figure walked down from the second floor, and then a polite voice sounded.
"Your Highness, are you here for the book? What kind of romance novel do you want to read?”
An extremely familiar voice entered his ears.
Elizabeth's body stiffened, and her beautiful little face immediately revealed a look of surprise.""It's you!"
Even if she could forget her identity as a princess, she would never forget the voice that narrated Romeo and Juliet.
Elizabeth looked over and saw a handsome face.
Even Joanna was surprised to see Fang Qingyan here.
The last time she came to retrieve the book, she only waited outside the door and instructed the servants to come in…So he was the new administrator that the old butler Bard had mentioned before?
Fang Qingyan had an infectious smile on his face. He looked at Elizabeth calmly and said politely,"Long time no see, Your Highness. You are still as beautiful as ever.”
As he spoke, he used his spiritual power to scan Elizabeth's body.
As expected, she carried a key with her. It was a very ordinary, rusty, and ugly bronze key. No noble lady would treat it as an ornament, but Elizabeth used it as a necklace and wore it around her slender neck.
From this, it could be seen that she was a very sentimental person.
Fang Qingyan's eyes flashed slightly, but her smile remained.
He was actually calculating in his heart.
Now that Elizabeth was very close to him, he could snatch the key at any time, or use his " mind control " superpower to make her hand over the key like a puppet.
However, Fang Qingyan did not plan to do that because Elizabeth was Kastan's daughter.
"Why are you here?"
Elizabeth's face was filled with unprecedented happiness. She quickly walked up to Fang Qingyan and asked.
Fang Qingyan repeated what she had said to the old butler Bard.
"What? Did the old man pass away?"
A hint of sadness appeared in Elizabeth's eyes. The last time she saw Castin, she felt that the old duke's health was terrible. She did not expect him to really pass away.
Fang Qingyan blinked. What grandpa? That's your father…your biological father!
However, he did not intend to talk too much about Castin. The past was the past. The dead were gone, and the living were stronger.
"Ahem, Your Highness is probably here to find a book, right?”
As Fang Qingyan spoke, she reached out to pick up the wooden ladder used to climb the bookshelf and asked with a smile," What book do you want to read?”
"I want to read a book like Romeo and Juliet that can move people's hearts!”
Elizabeth's eyes shone with a dazzling light, and she could not help but clench her fists." Is there any in the library?”
Romeo and Juliet…
Fang Qingyan's body paused. She gently put down the wooden ladder and returned it to its original position.
Then, he shook his head.”
Elizabeth's face immediately turned pale, and her excitement was swept away.
Joanna, who was beside him, snorted proudly. She had already said that she didn't have it, but you didn't believe her and insisted on coming here personally. Did you give up now?
Suddenly, Elizabeth thought of something and lifted her head.
Her blue eyes were filled with anticipation as she looked at Fang Qingyan."If you don't have it here, then…do you have it?”
She placed all her hopes on Fang Qingyan.
Just because he couldn't find good books didn't mean that he couldn't hear good stories!
Facing her beautiful and nervous gaze, Fang Qingyan revealed an infectious smile."Yes!"
"There really is?"
Elizabeth was so excited that she wanted to jump three meters high. She rushed to Fang Qingyan." You're not lying to me?”
"There really is." Fang Qingyan nodded firmly and asked her,"Princess, do you want to hear it?"”
"Yes!"
Elizabeth nodded without hesitation.
Even Joanna, the maid, looked expectant.
However, Fang Qingyan shook his head.”
A mere servant dared to make a request to the princess?
If it were anyone else, they would have ordered people to drag Fang Qingyan out to feed the dogs.
However, Elizabeth did not hesitate at all. She nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice."Of course. I still owe you a dance last time. If you have any requests, just say it. A wonderful story is priceless.”
Fang Qingyan turned to look at Joanna and smiled."The first condition is that the story can only be told to one person.”
Elizabeth was stunned.
Then, she turned around and abandoned Joanna mercilessly."Cough cough, that…you can wait outside.”
Joanna's eyes widened in frustration. She wanted to hear it too.
However, there was a difference between master and servant, so she could only give in to Elizabeth.
Joanna still had to protect the princess, so she didn't go far and stood by the door.
"Tell me, tell me, what's the second condition?”
Elizabeth asked excitedly.
Fang Qingyan narrowed his eyes. His gaze slowly moved down from her face and stopped on her rather large chest.
" The second condition is that I want Your Highness to…"
Elizabeth was so frightened that she hugged herself. She shrank back and shook her head like a rattle-drum."This…this won't do."
"Ahem, I haven't finished speaking. Don't be nervous.”
Fang Qingyan knew that there was a misunderstanding, so she could only blurt out,"I want an item from you to commemorate your encounter with the princess!”
Phew--
Elizabeth heaved a sigh of relief.
However, it was not a problem to get a personal item.
She nodded and looked at Fang Qingyan with her clear eyes."What do you want?"
"Oh, let me think about it…What do I want…"
Fang Qingyan rubbed his chin with his slender fingers and pretended to think. He sized Elizabeth up and then smiled." The necklace on the princess's neck is quite beautiful. I want this. If you're willing to pluck it and give it to me, I'll tell you ten stories. I guarantee that you'll like every one of them!”
Although there were some elements of deception.
But it was actually a fair trade.
Obtaining the key in such a way, Fang Qingyan was not letting down her conscience, and she was not letting down the old Count Castin.
