(Western Fantasy) The Devil's Sorrow

In the Duke Knightley's mansion, the maid ran down the corridor in a panic while calling for her lady, and she even accidentally kicked over the vase at the corner.Fortunately, this priceless piece of porcelain was enough to save face, but it rolled on the blanket a few times after falling to the ground, without even a single crack.The maid didn't care to tidy up, she lifted her skirt and stepped over the vase, trotting all the way making noisy footsteps.

After all, Bernice couldn't sleep anymore, she sat up irritably, and after the maid barged in without knocking, she asked, "What happened outside, why is it so noisy?"

"Miss, I—" The maid was still organizing her words, she ran all the way over, already out of breath from exhaustion. "The one you rescued..."

The maid suddenly got stuck, and she suddenly remembered that the young man had been in a daze since he was brought into the mansion, and he never reported his name at all.

Bernice asked with concern, "What happened to that man?"

The maid gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and said anxiously: "He poured a whole cup of caterpillars on the clothes of His Royal Highness the Second Prince! Go and have a look, if His Royal Highness asks questions, you may be punished." Tired."

Bernice threw off the quilt and got out of bed, and asked while searching for clothes, "Is he all right?"

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince changed his face at that time, and he looked very angry."

"I'm asking my guest, that handsome white-haired guy, is he alright?" Bernice took off her clothes, stepped into her shoes, and pulled them on a few times.

"Miss, why do you still have the heart to worry about him?"

The maid's question is not without reason.

After the daughter of the Duke of Knightley was engaged to the prince, she also brought a man of unknown origin home, which was enough to cause dissatisfaction in the royal family.But this person of unknown origin poured the caterpillar on Bernice's marriage partner, the second prince Ulysses.

Now Bernice should worry about herself, or her family.

This person of unknown origin should be responsible for the mistakes he made. As long as the second prince can calm down his anger, it is worthwhile to push this young man out.

"Look at his frail appearance and his small body. Think about the second prince's figure. One can hit him ten times. One punch will break the bridge of his nose." Bernice lifted her skirt Walked downstairs, walked quickly on the promenade, stepped on the stone road with half-dried mud footprints, and appeared at the scene of the accident.

But the scene that caught her eyes caused Bernice to completely lose her ability to speak.

The second prince, who was tall and active on the battlefield all year round, was not only not the one who bullied others, but lay on the ground with his head covered.And the harmless-looking young man was holding an empty glass and standing aside with bare feet.The real culprit who attacked the second prince—an unripe green apple was still rolling.

Bernice raised her eyes and looked at the apple tree planted at the gate of her mansion.For the first time, she felt that this tree was so beautiful, and nature was so incredible.

The white-haired youth looked up at the apple tree again.

For a moment, the tree seemed to be pulled by something, and the green apples that were full of the tree fell together.Ulyses, who had just raised his head, was smashed to the ground again, and the blue apple buried him completely.

Bernice stared dumbfounded at the mountain of apples.She remembered that this tree didn't seem to be able to bear so many fruits, did she remember wrongly?

"Your Highness!" The guards came to their senses, and quickly dug Ulysses out of the apple mountain.

The guards shook Ulysses and found that the second prince had passed out.

"Go get the therapist over here!"

Drummond, who had just fought against the great magician of the holy city, was extremely exhausted. He thought he would just take a nap, but he tossed and turned in bed.He fell asleep later, but after a series of absurd nightmares, when he finally woke up sweating, it was already dark.

He scrubbed himself a little, changed his clothes, and went downstairs to dinner.

Drummond has a sweet tooth and enjoys creme brulee every night for dinner.If dining with the family, he would behave himself and save the pudding for after dinner.If it's just him, he'll eat half of it before the meal.

Today, he is eating alone.

After Drummond wiped his hands with the wet towel presented by the maid, he picked up a spoon and dug a piece of pudding.After this custard dessert, which is eaten every day, was brought into his mouth, Drummond actually tasted a bit of bitterness.

Drummond put down his spoon, frowning.

The maid came with a tray and presented today's main course.

Isabella lowered her head, maintaining a obedient and polite appearance, and placed the plate in front of the first prince.She lifted the lid, put it on the iron plate used for serving dishes, and retreated to the side of the cart with tableware that could be replaced at any time.

Drummond raised his head suspiciously, quickly glanced at the maid, and then turned his gaze back to the dinner.He always felt that this maid was a little familiar, was it an illusion?

He picked up a knife and fork to cut off a piece of steak, and put it in his mouth to chew, but after a few strokes, he felt pain: "Hiss——"

Drummond picked up the napkin and spat out the food, spittle mixed with blood.His face was very ugly, and he threw up again after folding the napkin. This time, apart from blood, there was half a tooth that came out.

The meat of the steak was mixed with bones, and half of the first prince's tooth had been broken out abruptly.

Bad things always come together, and today is no exception.After being rebelled by the great magician of the Holy City, overcooked by the caramel in the pudding, and broken his teeth after eating dinner, the knight Simon knocked on the door, then pushed the door and walked in.

Only when there is an emergency, the knight will break in without waiting for the owner's permission.

Simon leaned into Drummond's ear and whispered the situation.

Drummond, who had just had a piece of gauze taken by someone, rolled it up and bit it into his mouth to stop the bleeding, stood up, grabbed the bottom of the table with both hands, and turned the entire table over.

Isabella pretended to be flustered, and hurried over to clean up the overturned tableware and food.

Drummond was in a bad mood, and His Royal Highness, who desperately needed a quiet environment, pointed at the door and shouted, "Get out, everyone!"

The maid took the plate and fled the restaurant as if she had been released from prison.

Isabella leaned against the kitchen wall with the greasy plate in her hand.

The little puppet tugged at her hair and asked, "Did you hear that? Anyway, I did."

"I'm not deaf." Isabella took a rag and wiped it on the plate. "The Second Prince is staying overnight at the Duke of Knightley's mansion. What do you mean by reminding me of this?"

"The stupid second prince of the Kingdom of Rennes, he said that he is single-minded, but that's all he is." The little puppet happily patted the girl's cheek, and said, "Profits are indeed something that can tap human nature."

Isabella stopped it expressionlessly: "Don't attack all human beings with map cannons."

Then Noah changed his offensive, from discriminating against humans to praising himself.

"I've been waiting for you for 1000 years, and I've been single for 1000 years." The little puppet pulled the girl's hair and said proudly, "I've only been tempted by one person for 1000 years. Our love must be an arrangement of fate."

Isn't it the arrangement of fate?Isabella thought to herself: I heard that you almost went crazy because of the missing corner. This was not a blessing from fate, but fate forced you to submit.

Isabella said: "Stop reminding me again and again that your age is about fifty times mine."

Noah shut his mouth hard.

People at Duke Knightley's mansion are in a state of panic.

A group of therapists are observing the condition of the second prince. As the fiancée, Bernice is forced to stay beside the prince and take care of the fiancé who was injured by 250 apples.The maids served tea and water to the dignitaries present, and the guards surrounded the duke's mansion under full martial law.

Only the God of Light, who had facilitated this good show, sat on the roof in pajamas sent by his servants, set up a small table, and slowly cut papaya with a full set of cutlery.

Papaya is a fruit that ripens in autumn. At this time, the capital is still in spring, so papaya is considered an out-of-season fruit.

The God of Light can eat papaya in this season because he forcibly ripens the papaya.

Many magicians are able to ripen fruits, but they all disdain it—probably because they respect the gods and nature in their bones, and they are always unwilling to do things that violate the laws of nature. Find all kinds of excuses, such as "ripe melons are not sweet".

The white god thought to himself: Nonsense, the twisted melon is sweet.

Black smoke gathered on the roof, and a figure walked out of it, walked up to the white god who was eating melons, and asked, "Did you cause this situation?"

The God of Light put down his knife and fork, raised his head, and said, "You finally dare to meet me, Darkness."

There was no expression on the white god's face, and there was absolutely no need for him to act when he faced the dark god who knew him best.Facing this game, he has no anger in his heart, let alone joy.He threw himself into it, just to emphasize again to his opponent in the game-you lost.

The God of Darkness ignored the faint sarcasm in his words, and said, "Promoting their marriage will do more harm than good to your game."

The God of Light responded: "But to facilitate their marriage, the prince who made a mistake will no longer tell the whole world that his favorite is our child."

The God of Darkness nodded, agreeing with this statement.

The God of Light said: "In fact, you are the same, there is no need to make such a move, is there?"

"I also don't like the behavior of that stupid prince who betrayed my daughter and kept saying that he loves her. It's really disgusting." The God of Darkness stroked his chest. "No matter what, I must let him complete the marriage contract and completely die of this heart."

The God of Light and the God of Darkness, who have always been at odds with each other, finally reached a consensus at this moment.

The author has something to say: Ulysses: ? ? ? ? ? ?I'm just a weak, pitiful and helpless human being!

Drummond: Me too? ? ? ? ? ?
