Chapter 1125 Dark Cinderella
The snow-white moonlight illuminated the garden, and everything was as bright as day.
Cindy carefully held the branch and planted it in the open ground. Then she knelt beside it and began to cry.
Crystal clear tears fell drop by drop on the branches and the surrounding soil, and something magical happened.
The branches began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, and they were faintly glowing.
In just a few breaths, the short branch grew into a towering tree, and its dense leaves swayed gently in the night breeze.
Shi Li hid behind the curtains and covered her mouth in disbelief.
It is indeed a fairy tale world where everything is possible.
Cindy seemed to have expected this scene and was not surprised at all. Instead, she looked up at the tree, wiped the tears from her face, and smiled happily.
How creepy.
She muttered a lot under the tree, crying about her misfortune and her family's indifference and cruelty. It was a long time before she left with swollen eyes.
After making sure she would not come back, Shi Li put on her coat and tiptoed to the garden. She walked to the abruptly growing hazel tree and reached out to touch the bark carefully.
It feels no different from an ordinary tree, but it would take several years for a normal hazel tree to grow into this shape.
Shi Li swallowed, and her sixth sense made her look up at the treetop, where she was unexpectedly met with a pair of eyes as dark as obsidian.
There was actually a person standing on the top of the tree.
He was wearing a white silk shirt and dark trousers. He was tall and slender. Standing on the top of the tree, he looked like a leaf growing on it, weightless.
The moonlight enveloped his indescribably handsome face, dark eyebrows, high nose, and lips as moist and colorful as plump petals.
If it appeared somewhere else, Shi Li would definitely be amazed at such beauty. But when it appeared here, besides thinking it was beautiful, she felt more scared.
There is a strange tree growing in the garden, and a boy at the top of the tree seems weightless but is too beautiful to be real. This is not a fairy tale but a weird story, right?
Shi Li opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
However, the boy seemed to have no interest in her. He glanced at her lazily and then looked away, then disappeared out of thin air, as if he had never appeared.
The night wind blew the hazel trees, and Shi Li blinked her eyes, as if she had a dream. If it weren't for the wailing of the barrage, she would really doubt whether she was dazzled.
【nice! ! ! 】
[It looks good, but it’s scary~]
[Is this really not a horror movie? That person looks really white...]
From this, it can be seen that the young man who was standing on the tree top just now really exists. Shi Li took a deep breath and walked back to the room with light steps.
She was planning to find a temple tomorrow... No! In this world, she would find a church tomorrow and pray for God's blessing.
As I was thinking, I fell asleep in a daze on the soft velvet bed.
The palace in the distance was still brightly lit.
The king and several of his trusted ministers were discussing important matters in the study. The most trusted guards were stationed outside the door to guard it, so not even a fly could be let in.
"Next month's ball must be held successfully, and no problems can occur." The king looked at several ministers seriously.
After all, this ball is about whether the curse on the prince can be lifted.
Several ministers also knew what had happened that year. They nodded and swore an oath, ready for battle.
Everyone in the country knew that the king had two sons.
The eldest prince was born to the previous queen, and the younger prince is the biological son of the current queen.
The eldest prince has been weak since birth. Over the years, his health has not improved. He usually stays at home in the palace, and very few people can see him.
Except for the king and those closest to him, no one knew that the eldest prince was cursed since birth.
The curse said that the eldest prince would not live past the age of twenty.
The king and his first queen were truly in love, and he also felt sorry for the eldest prince, so he spent a huge amount of money to find a way to break the curse.
When the eldest prince was ten years old, he finally found a fairy.
The fairy told the king that the evil curse could be lifted by holding a ball when the eldest prince was twenty years old, finding the most beautiful girl at the ball and letting her marry the eldest prince.
The king was afraid of something unexpected happening, so he didn't dare to make the matter public. Even the ball next month was held under the banner of selecting a princess for the little prince's coming of age.
Otherwise, the king was worried that the nobles would think that the eldest prince would not live long and would not allow their daughters to attend the ball, thus missing the opportunity to lift the curse.
"This matter must also be kept secret from the Queen."
Finally, the king did not forget to remind his ministers again.
