Chapter 1157 Dark Cinderella
Shi Li was the only one left in the prince's bedroom.
To be more precise, she was the only little sparrow left.
Lying in the soft and comfortable towel nest, Shi Li stretched out his wings and patted his chest carefully, trying to calm his abnormally fast heartbeat.
Just now, after Lorraine picked her up, he moved very close to her as if he really wanted to kiss her.
At the critical moment, the king's servant knocked on the door and conveyed the king's order, asking Lorraine to see him now.
Shi Li finally escaped and was put back into the towel nest. Lorraine also left with the servants.
With no threats around, Shi Li could finally calm down and look around the bedroom.
The bedroom is large, but there is very little in it. Apart from the necessities such as the bed and the fireplace, there is nothing else.
The two windows facing the sun were open, and the bright sunshine shone in from outside. In the distance, some green vines could be seen climbing on the outer wall.
Now she was the only sparrow in the bedroom, and it was a good opportunity to escape. She only needed to flap her wings and fly out of the window, and she could be free.
Shi Li hesitated again and again, but finally gave up the idea.
Not to mention that Lorraine had no ill will towards her for the time being. If she flew out like a sparrow, she might be hit by a hunter's rifle or a naughty child's stone in a minute, and it would be difficult for her to save her life.
Even if you manage to escape these dangers, being a wandering sparrow outside is not any better than being a sparrow in the palace.
Before she was sure what Lorraine was trying to do, Shi Li convinced herself to treat this place as a new job and Lorraine was her shrewd and weird boss, and she could always deal with it if she was careful.
That's right!
That's it!
"Lorraine, Arthur is already looking for the girl who showed up at the ball, why aren't you in a hurry?"
The king called Lorraine to him and looked at him in confusion, "You know, the fairy said you must marry the most beautiful girl at the ball."
Lorraine smiled, but of course he would not tell the king directly that the "fairy" who said this was himself. Instead, he answered confidently: "Father, who is the most beautiful girl at the ball? Isn't it for me to judge?"
Beauty has never been a word with a clear standard. Cindy's dazzling beauty at the ball may be more in line with the aesthetics of most people, but it does not mean that she is the most beautiful girl.
The king frowned at first, then finally realized what Lorraine meant. His eyes suddenly lit up, "You mean..."
"I am well now, don't worry too much, father."
Lorraine had no intention of explaining in detail to the king. He just curled his lips and glanced out the window meaningfully, "You should pay more attention to the other people around you."
For example, Mrs. Anna, who is hiding outside and eavesdropping.
She had not been discovered during her previous eavesdropping attempts, so she thought she would not be discovered this time either. After Lorraine left the study, she planned to escape unscathed, but was caught by two servants and dragged before the king.
The two servants had no respect for her and were very rough. Anna fell to the ground. She saw the king's boots getting closer and closer, and she raised her head and looked at him pitifully.
"Dear Anna, why are you eavesdropping?" The king looked down at her with a coldness she had never seen before. "Can't you just accompany me? Why do you always want to do other things? Do you know? I don't like you like this."
The king actually knew everything, including her calculations against Arthur and her current regret. Anna sat on the ground and suddenly felt a biting cold, and began to shiver all over.
The next second, the king pulled her up and held her in his arms, his cheek against hers, whispering affectionately, like a lover who loved her deeply.
"My dear, stay with me like a nightingale, and don't think about anything else. When I first saw you, you cried so pitifully, like a nightingale that had lost its freedom..."
The bedroom was warm and comfortable, and the towel on her body was very soft. When Shi Li was about to fall asleep, she heard the door open. She tried to raise her eyelids and saw a familiar girl sneaking in and looking around.
Shi Li stared at her again and again, and finally recognized that the girl was Annie.
Why is she here?
Anne walked around the bedroom, but didn't seem to find what she wanted, so she left disappointed. Then Lorraine came back.
He seemed to be in a good mood, with a faint smile on his lips. He walked over and touched Shi Li's head again.
Shi Li wanted to tell him about Annie's sneaking in just now, but the first word she opened her mouth turned out to be "chi chirp".
Lorraine's fingers, which were stroking the feathers, paused slightly.
"So nice."
