"You want my necklace?"
Elizabeth was stunned for a moment, then she frowned and shook her head."This…this won't do either. This necklace is the only thing my mother left me. It's not pretty. If you don't believe me, I'll show it to you.”
She gently took off the lock on the necklace and took it out to show Fang Qingyan.
This bronze key was indeed too ordinary. If it was used as an ornament, it would look very ugly. Even if it was thrown on the ground, no one would bend down to pick it up.
" It's not beautiful…" Elizabeth hesitated for a moment before she said," Besides, it's not as simple as a relic of my mother to me. There's another very important reason…"
She held the key tightly with her two small hands, as if it was more precious than her life.
Not just his mother's relic?
Was there a more important meaning?
Her words aroused Fang Qingyan's strong curiosity. He asked,"What's the reason? Is it convenient for Your Highness to tell me?"
The reason…
Elizabeth seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly, her pretty face turned red, and her face was so red that it was about to smoke!
She quickly shook her head and avoided Fang Qingyan's aggressive gaze in a panic. She stammered,"This…I can't say. It's…it's my secret.”
It seemed that this question made her extremely shy!
This made Fang Qingyan's desire to reveal the secret even more burning. He narrowed his long and narrow eyes, took a step forward, and said patiently,"Your Highness, how about this…I don't want your key. As long as you tell me your secret, I'll tell you a story.”
His voice was like the temptation of the devil, ringing beside her crystal clear little ear.
Fang Qingyan was determined to understand. To Elizabeth, what was more important than a fascinating love story?
Gulp ~
Elizabeth's throat moved with difficulty, and a conflicted and hesitant expression appeared on her delicate and beautiful face. However, she eventually shook her head and said shyly,""I really can't tell you this secret…I'm too embarrassed to tell you, you'll definitely laugh at me…I won't tell you!”
Deceiving had failed!
Fang Qingyan narrowed his eyes. If you don't say it, can't I know? I want to know!
"Your Highness."
He suddenly spoke.
Elizabeth subconsciously looked up at him and immediately met a pair of eyes that were deeper than the abyss, suffused with a faint purple light... Fang Qingyan's eyes were very beautiful, but they were like bottomless black holes, as if they were devouring everything about Elizabeth... including her soul.
Elizabeth's beautiful eyes became dazed.
And Fang Qingyan had already entered her inner world... the deepest part!
……
……
Sixteen years ago.
When Elizabeth was four years old, her mother, Camilla, fell into depression because she missed Count Casteine. In the end, she walked into the sun under the scorching sun and turned into ashes.
At that time, Elizabeth was still a little girl who did not know anything.
She didn't understand why her mother was so sad. Why was he in despair? Why did he commit suicide?
"Father, why doesn't mother want me anymore?”
This was the first time she had asked Marquis Morpheus this question, but her father did not answer her. He remained silent, and his expression was terrifying.
Elizabeth was unwilling to accept the fact that she could not get an answer. She asked every day, every month, and every year…
She wanted to know why her mother didn't want her anymore.
Until one day two years later.
When Elizabeth asked her father this question again, Marquis Morpheus finally answered her.
Marquis Morpheus 'answer was only four words-because of love.
"Love?"
Elizabeth was confused.
Because this once again involved her knowledge blind spot.
Thus, the six-year-old Elizabeth embarked on a new journey. At that time, she only had one goal, and that was to figure out a question: What was love?
……
She had asked many people and received many answers.
However, she was still puzzled,'Isn't love beautiful?' Why did he bring so much pain, tragedy, and despair to his mother?
With such a question.
Elizabeth flipped open her first romance novel," The Castle of Romance "…
From then on, it was out of control.
From six years old to seven, eight…
When she was ten years old, she finally understood what " love " was.
She finally understood her mother's choice.
Her mother did not love her father and fell in love with another man.
His father loved his mother very much and did not allow his mother to find a man.
Her mother was so sad that she committed suicide.
……
Like her mother, Elizabeth valued love more than life, soul, and dignity.
However, she did not want to be like her mother, who had spent her entire life searching for love, but to no avail and ended up in tragedy.
So when Elizabeth was twelve years old.
She had made a shocking decision!
She would always wear the things her mother left her.
In the future, if she fell in love with a man, she would give him the key as proof of her love for a lifetime.
……
No wonder she was so shy and embarrassed to say it.
It turned out that this key was a 'token of love' that she was going to give to her future lover.
The information he obtained was a lot, and it ran through Elizabeth's life from the age of six to twelve.
But in fact, Fang Qingyan only used 0.1 seconds to read all the information.
He had already turned off his mind-reading ability.
Even Joanna, who was not far away, did not notice anything unusual.
"Was I distracted just now?"
Elizabeth was a little confused, but she quickly shook her head and threw away her distracting thoughts.
Her beautiful face was filled with sincerity, and her beautiful eyes were apologetic."I'm really sorry. Although I want to hear your story, it's not convenient for me to tell you the secret of this key.”
" It's alright, Your Highness."
Fang Qingyan shook his head and revealed a gentle smile. He looked at her gently and said softly," Actually, I was just joking. I'm very happy to share the stories I know with you. I don't expect you to repay me.”
"Really?"
Elizabeth was pleasantly surprised.
Fang Qingyan smiled and nodded.”
……
In fact, Fang Qingyan had always felt that Elizabeth's character of being addicted to books was a little abnormal and strange.
No matter how much an ordinary person liked reading, they would not be as obsessed as she was…to the point where she would give up the entire world for books.
However, when he learned about Elizabeth's past, he completely understood.
The princess had not gotten over her mother's suicide. She wanted to study everything about love.
Fang Qingyan was full of sympathy for this girl.
Even the way he looked at her became much gentler.
He did not have the slightest intention of hurting Elizabeth. He even felt that if this angelic girl had any difficulties, he was willing to help her.
He was not a gentleman to have used mind-reading on Elizabeth.
Since she wanted to hear a story, Fang Qingyan decided to satisfy her as a way to make up for his rude behavior just now.
As for the key?
It was fine if she was unwilling to give it to him. He would not force her.
To be honest, Fang Qingyan really did not care about a mere prince's tomb.
With the system around, he would become a prince sooner or later!
……
"Your Highness, let me tell you a story about mermaids.”
Fang Qingyan revealed an infectious smile.
