[Chapter 42]: The story of the mermaid! (fifth more)
"You want my necklace?"
Elizabeth was stunned for a moment, then frowned, shook her head and said, "This… this is not good either. This chain is the only relic left to me by my mother, and it is not beautiful. If you don't believe me, I will show it to you."
She gently took off the lock on the necklace, took it out, and showed it to Fang Qingyan.
This bronze key is indeed too ordinary. If it is used as a decoration, it looks very ugly. Even if it is thrown on the ground, no one will bend over to pick it up.
"It's not pretty…" Elizabeth hesitated, then hesitantly said, "Moreover, it's not just my mother's relic to me, there is a very important reason…"
Her two small hands held the key tightly, as if it were more precious than life.
More than just a mother's relic?
What's more important?
Her words aroused Fang Qingyan's strong curiosity, he asked, "What's the reason? Is it convenient for Her Royal Highness to tell me?"
reason...
Elizabeth seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly, her pretty face turned red, and her face was about to smoke!
She hurriedly shook her head, hurriedly avoiding Fang Qingyan's aggressive gaze, and stammered, "This… can't say, yes… it's my secret."
It seems that this question makes her extremely shy!
This made Fang Qingyan burning with the desire to reveal the secret. He narrowed his long and narrow eyes, took a step forward, and said in a persuasive voice: "His Royal Highness, this is it… I don't want your key anymore, as long as you tell me the secret, I'll tell you a story, okay?"
His voice, like the temptation of the devil, sounded on the edge of her crystal and small auricle.
Fang Qingyan tried to figure out, what was more important to Elizabeth than a captivating love story?
Gudong~
Elizabeth's throat rolled hard, and a tangled and hesitant look appeared on her delicate and beautiful face, but in the end she shook her head and said shyly, "I really can't tell this secret… I'm ashamed to say, you will definitely Laugh at me…I don't say it!"
Coaxing to declare failure!
Fang Qingyan's eyes narrowed slightly, if you don't tell me, can't I know? I want to know!
"your Highness."
He spoke suddenly.
Elizabeth looked up at him subconsciously, and immediately met a pair of eyes that were deeper than the abyss, glowing with a faint purple light… Fang Qingyan's eyes were very beautiful, but they were like bottomless black holes that seemed to devour Elizabeth's everything. …including the soul.
Elizabeth's beautiful eyes became dazed.
And Fang Qingyan, has entered her inner world… the deepest!
…
…
sixteen years ago.
When Elizabeth was four years old, her mother Camilla fell into depression because she missed Count Castanin, and finally walked into the sun under the scorching sun and disappeared.
At that time, Elizabeth was just a little girl who knew nothing.
She didn't understand why her mother was sad? Why despair? Why commit suicide?
"Father, why doesn't my mother want me anymore?"
It was the first time she asked Marquis Morpheus this question, but her father didn't answer her, he was silent, and his expression was terrible.
Unwilling to get an answer, Elizabeth asked every day, every month, every year…
She wanted to know, why did her mother not want to be herself?
Until one day two years later.
When Elizabeth asked her father this question again, Marquis Morpheus finally answered her.
Marquis Morpheus's answer was only four words – because of love.
"love?"
Elizabeth looked bewildered.
Because this again involves her knowledge blind spot.
So six-year-old Elizabeth embarked on a new journey. Her biggest goal at the time was to figure out a question: what is love?
…
She asked a lot of people and got a lot of answers.
But she still wondered: Isn't love beautiful? Why bring so much pain, tragedy and despair to my mother?
with such questions.
Elizabeth opened the first love novel "Romantic Castle" in her life…
It has been out of control ever since.
From the age of six, to the age of seven, eight…
At the age of ten, she finally began to understand what "love" was.
She also finally understood her mother's choice.
The mother did not love the father, but fell in love with another man;
The father loves the mother very much, and does not allow the mother to find a hot man;
The mother was very sad and committed suicide.
…
Like her mother, Elizabeth values love above life, soul, and dignity.
But she didn't want to be like her mother, searching for love all her life, to no avail, and ended in tragedy.
So when Elizabeth was twelve years old.
She made an amazing decision!
The relic left by her mother, she will always wear it.
In the future, if I fall in love with a man with all my heart, I will give him the key as a proof of love for a lifetime.
…
No wonder so shy, embarrassed to say.
It turned out that this key was the "token of love" she was going to give to her future lover.
A lot of information was obtained, which ran through Elizabeth's life from the age of six to the age of twelve.
But in fact, Fang Qingyan only took 0.1 seconds to read all the information.
He had already turned off mind reading.
Even Joanna, who was not far away, did not find any abnormality.
"Have I just lost my mind?"
Elizabeth had some doubts in her heart, but immediately, she shook her head and put aside her thoughts.
The beautiful face is full of sincerity, and the beautiful eyes are apologetic: "I'm really sorry, although I really want to hear your story, but it's not convenient for me to tell the secret of this key."
"It's okay, Her Royal Highness."
Fang Qingyan shook his head, showed a gentle smile, looked at her softly, and said softly, "Actually, I'm just joking, I'm happy to share the stories I know with you, and I don't ask you to do anything in return."
"Really?"
Elizabeth looked surprised.
Fang Qingyan smiled and nodded: "Really."
…
In fact, Fang Qingyan always felt that Elizabeth's book-loving character was somewhat abnormal and weird.
Even if ordinary people like to read books, they will not be so obsessed with her… so obsessed that they can give up the whole world for books.
But when he learned about Elizabeth's past, he completely understood.
In fact, Her Royal Highness has not come out of the shadow of her mother's suicide until now. She wants to study everything about love.
Fang Qingyan was full of sympathy for this girl.
Even looking at her eyes softened a lot.
He had no idea of hurting Elizabeth in the slightest, and even felt that if this angelic girl had any difficulties, he was willing to help.
The use of mind-reading on Elizabeth just now was not the work of a gentleman.
Since she wanted to hear the story, Fang Qingyan decided to satisfy her as an apology for her just rude behavior.
As for the keys?
Even if she doesn't want to give it, she doesn't force it.
To be honest, Fang Qingyan really doesn't look down on a prince's mausoleum.
With a system in place, sooner or later he will become a prince!
…
"His Royal Highness, let me tell you a story about mermaids."
Fang Qingyan showed a contagious smile.
