Chapter 124 — Snow White in a Dark Fairy Tale ( 52 )
The news was a bit too big, so Shen Mubai can’t digest it for a while.
Arlenweiss looked at her apparently stupefied expression and continued to say, “Then, I investigated a few things these days, it turned out that the former Queen had a prince and a princess. Unfortunately, the prince died two years later, but a princess happened to be born that day, although because of the difficult delivery, the Queen died too. However, in fact, the prince and the princess was but the same person. The King raised the prince as the princess, replacing all the people in the palace to guard this secret. He also told the people in Wangdu that because of the loss of his beloved son, he doesn’t want people to mention this anymore.” When he talked until this point, he can’t help but mockingly laughed, “Although I can’t find the King’s real intention by doing this, I’m sure one of the reasons was just him not wanting his child to sit on his throne. How greedy and stupid.”
After Shen Mubai found those young girls with similar faces to Snow White, she had secretly investigated too, but at that time she thought that Bellice was the King’s person, so she could only find limited information with her own ability. Now, she didn’t think that the truth was so startling it made her blanked for a while.
She resentfully said to the System, “So, what’s the point of the story’s background you told me before?”
System felt absentminded and unconsciously said, “I don’t know…”
Shen Mubai asked in vain and sighed, it seemed that the system was really just a waste product.
Arlenweiss chuckled, “I checked so much for you, won’t you thank me?”
Shen Mubai glanced at him with a ‘nothing left to live for’ look, then reluctantly gave him a string of grapes, “Eat, I’ll give you the thing that I like.”
Arlenweiss, “…”
Looking at the young girl who can’t even sincerely give some food to him, Arlenweiss can’t help but felt a little sour, “Do you still want to return to Alessia? What do you think of the truth of the King’s death? Snow White is not the same innocent and pure child you imagined, you might as well stay with me than going back there, at least I can give you anything that you want.”
Shen Mubai’s heart wasn’t convinced as she thought how Snow White already said these words much more than him.
But when she thought how Snow White was actually a man, her mood became downcast again.
Moreover, she had a premonition that once she go back, there would be something happening that she doesn’t want to see, so Shen Mubai can’t help but cried in hopelessness.
In the next few days, Shen Mubai didn’t mention that she want to go back to Alessia anymore. This was a big surprise for Arlenweiss, so he tried everything to please her all day, sending her countless of delicious food and gorgeous, beautiful jewelries and dresses.
Shen Mubai was seduced, her heart was corrupted. With her body and mind in a trance, she said to system, “These kind of days are just really the best ah.”
The system was also absent-minded, “En, that’s right…”
As a result, she continued to eat pistachios (joy), and unconsciously continued to be unconscious.
On this day, the maid who waited upon Shen Mubai brought her crabs and prawns, and said with a smile, “Prince Consort, the seafood in Roentzent is particularly delicious and much bigger than those in other countries, you must have never eaten this in Alessia.”
Shen Mubai looked at the tempting crabs and prawns, gulped a mouthful of saliva, and nodded her head, forgetting all about her patriotic feeling, “En, that’s right ah.”
The servant girl covered her smile with her hand and said, “Prince Consort, His Highness the Prince especially went to the sea and captured these for you a few days ago, it can clearly be seen how much he likes Your Highness.”
