The story of a mermaid?
It was Elizabeth's first time hearing the term " mermaid ".
Immediately, his eyes lit up with curiosity.
She didn't interrupt him. She sat on the chair and continued to listen attentively with her small hand supporting her fair chin.
" The mermaid princess saved the prince and fell in love with him at first sight. Suddenly, she heard someone approaching and hurriedly hid…After the prince woke up, he mistakenly thought that it was a human girl who saved him, so he fell in love with that girl and decided to marry her…"
Fang Qingyan's voice was neither hurried nor slow as she slowly told one of the most classic love stories in Andersen's fairy tales, The Story of the Mermaid Princess.
Elizabeth listened attentively. She was completely engrossed.
Just like the last time, the story had attracted her deeply at the beginning.
"... The Mermaid Princess made a deal with the witch. In order to let herself have human legs, she gave her voice to the witch. At the same time, she paid a great price. Every step she took, her feet would suffer a heart-wrenching pain..."
A look of admiration and yearning appeared in Elizabeth's large blue eyes.
Was this love? She was willing to give up the singing she was so proud of for the sake of the person she loved. She was even willing to endure great pain just to…be closer to him.
The story continued.
"…Although the Mermaid Princess can't sing or speak, she dances very well and successfully pleases the prince. However, the prince doesn't know that every step, turn, and jump…she endured inhuman pain and torture, but she still tried her best to maintain a smile in front of the prince…"
Elizabeth pursed her lips tightly as tears began to well up in her eyes.
She didn't dare to continue listening.
She was afraid that the Mermaid Princess would not get the love she wanted after giving so much.
Just like her mother, who was ultimately destroyed by love!
Fang Qingyan glanced at her and saw that she was covering her ears with her small hands. She could not help but laugh."Your Highness, if you don't want to hear it, I won't tell you.”
Elizabeth's face was conflicted for a moment. Her eyes were filled with hesitation, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and said,"I…I want to hear it!"
She had already heard of Romeo and Juliet's tragic story. Could there be a more tragic ending to love in the world? She did not believe it.
Fang Qingyan looked at her with a faint smile and reached out to give him a tissue."Then take this first."
"Tsk ~" Elizabeth snorted and threw the tissue on the floor in disdain."Stop looking down on me. I won't cry!"”
Fang Qingyan nodded and continued.
"One day, the prince brought the Mermaid Princess to the seaside to meet a girl. The prince said,'She saved my life, so I want to marry her.' The mermaid princess shouted,'No! I saved you, not her', but her voice was given to the witch, and the prince could not hear her at all..."
"... Only by killing the prince could she get back her singing voice and fishtail, but she couldn't do it. She couldn't bring herself to do it. In the end, she threw down her sword and left crying..."
When they arrived here.
Elizabeth's eyes were already brimming with tears.
However, she remembered the bold words she had just said, so she stubbornly resisted her tear glands and held back her tears.
Fang Qingyan saw her like this and immediately sneered in his heart. Elizabeth was already at the end of her rope.
As expected, when she heard the tragic ending of " the prince married that hypocritical woman, and the mermaid turned into a bubble and died ", she could no longer control herself. It was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"Wuaa
Elizabeth pouted and suddenly burst into tears. Her beautiful face was covered in tears, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying.
"Why…why is it another tragedy?”
She was very sad.
He felt that it was not worth it for the Mermaid Princess, but he also felt sincere admiration for her spirit of giving up everything for love.
Juliet and Romeo were in love. Even if they died together, they died in the arms of their lover.
However, the Mermaid Princess had sacrificed so much, but she had never received the prince's love. Even when she died, the prince did not know that she had once loved him.
"Wu wu ~"
As she cried, she searched her body for a tissue to wipe her tears, but she couldn't find it.
In the end, she looked at the tissue that she had thrown away on the ground. Her body froze and she felt a burning pain on her face.
It was too much of a slap in the face!
Previously, he had said that he wouldn't cry, but now he was crying.
The question was, under Fang Qingyan's gaze, in such an awkward situation, should he pick up the tissue or not?
Fang Qingyan revealed a meaningful smile... He would pick up the tissue that he had thrown away!
"Wu wu ~"
Sadness struck her heart again.
The princess couldn't care less about her face. She bent down and picked up the tissue, wiping her tears.
Another cry sounded.
It turned out that Joanna, who was standing outside the door, was also crying when she heard this…This 1,000-year-old Earl's maid actually used her spiritual power to eavesdrop on someone else's story.
Fang Qingyan's evil interest surfaced and she pretended to be angry."You eavesdropped!"
"I didn't…I didn't, sob sob ~"
"Then why are you crying?"
"I…I remembered something sad.”
Fang Qingyan's expression was strange. She asked subconsciously,"What sad things?"
"I saw the princess crying very sadly and thought that this story must be very interesting. However, I couldn't hear it. The more I thought about it, the sadder I became, so I cried.”
Joanna took a deep breath and said.
Full EQ!
Fang Qingyan thought that her husband had given birth.
……
"Thank you for your story. It's really wonderful. It's so wonderful that it shook my heart and soul!”
Elizabeth finally stopped crying. She sniffled and said to Fang Qingyan with a red face," But…can you not tell me tragedies every time? I'll cry.”
Fang Qingyan thought for a moment and replied,"Comedy is often the same, only tragedy…"
"Only tragedy can be remembered, right? I know what you want to say."
Elizabeth pouted cutely and learned to answer first.
Fang Qingyan smiled.
She didn't know why, but when she saw him smile, she suddenly blushed and her heart beat abnormally.
She did not dare to look at Fang Qingyan's face anymore.
"I…I'll come back tomorrow to listen to your story.”
Elizabeth stood up and leaned forward slightly." Thank you.”
Fang Qingyan shook his head." The princess has a noble status. If you come to look for me every day, I'm afraid you will make the marquis unhappy. Come once a month. I'll tell you a story every month. How about that?"”
In fact, he just didn't want his peaceful life to be ruined. If Elizabeth came every day, he definitely wouldn't be able to cultivate properly.
"One month…"
Elizabeth raised her beautiful eyebrows, but when she saw Fang Qingyan's eyes that could not be rejected, she could only nod.”
She was kind-hearted and naive, unwilling to bring trouble to others.
Therefore, even if she was a princess and had the right to order Fang Qingyan to tell her stories, she would not do so.
Just from this point alone, it could be seen that Elizabeth's moral cultivation and character were far superior to the other royal nobles!
Looking at Elizabeth, then looking at Marston, Jason, and the rest, it was a world of difference!
Everyone said that " Elizabeth was a clear stream in the noble circle ", and it was indeed so.
……
"I still owe you a dance. When will I pay you back?”
Before they parted, Elizabeth suddenly asked Fang Qingyan shyly.
Fang Qingyan was stunned and could not help but laugh. I forgot about it."
"I'm the princess of the Cape clan. I have to do what I say. I have to pay back what I owe.”
Elizabeth raised her chin proudly.
After saying that, she skipped out of the library.
He went back to his bedroom with Joanna…
