Quick Wear: Driving Gods in a Dark Fairy Tale

The storybook in Arlo's hand fell unconsciously.

She shook her head, with a hint of panic in her eyes. She frantically turned her gaze back to Bai Jun, as if she had found her backbone, and then said firmly: "No, Mr. Fate, if the princess doesn't like the prince, then she can choose not to marry him."

Bai Jun raised one eyebrow elegantly and said in surprise, "Oh?"

"Stories are just stories. No one stipulates that a princess must marry a prince. Mr. Fate, don't you agree?"

"Yes, if you feel so."

Bai Jun had no intention of expressing his thoughts. He took out his pocket watch and pretended to take a look at it. Then he said with a false and standard smile, "Your Highness, it's time for etiquette class. Please come in."

Self-generated consciousness is often easier to accept than ideas implanted by others.

A seed of rebellion planted at this moment will suddenly take root and sprout one day in the future and bear unexpected fruits.

If Princess Aurora herself becomes hostile towards the prince whom she has never met, then what will be the ending of this perfect fairy tale of the princess and the prince?

Thinking of this, the smile on Bai Jun's face became much more genuine.

Until the end of the etiquette class, he would have remained in a fairly good mood, if he hadn't met a lingering white wizard.

"How come Master Wizard has time to come to the etiquette room today? Unfortunately, Her Royal Highness the Princess has just left."

"I'm here to see you, Mr. Fate."

Because he was working in the palace, he could not wear wizard clothes in the palace. Therefore, the white wizard dressed quite normally in the palace, and almost all of his daily clothes were the royal clothes given by the king.

Without the protection of the wide brim of the hat, the atmosphere became tense as soon as they met and faced those cold silver-gray eyes.

"Okay, so what's the matter, Master Wizard?"

Bai Jun held the etiquette book in his arms, pretending to be listening attentively.

"Nothing, I just want to tell Mr. Fate that the princess is still young, there is no need to teach her things that are not appropriate for her age."

Not only does the White Wizard's eyes look cold, his voice is even colder.

It was clearly just an ordinary conversation, and the tone was not serious, but it sounded like ice chips were sprayed everywhere and people were going to be frozen to death.

Bai Jun listened calmly, lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment, then took a step forward without warning, leaned over and whispered in the ear of the White Wizard:

"Master Wizard, you don't have a partner, right?"

The White Wizard was not used to such close contact, and he stepped back as he approached, frowning and asking, "What do you mean?"

"Your Highness the Princess is already fourteen years old. According to the laws of the Orphir Empire, at this age, she can already choose her own partner."

Bai Jun suddenly lowered his eyebrows and said with an ambiguous tone: "You can't use your standards to measure others. I just want to tell Your Highness that life may not be as beautiful as the story. It's not a bad thing to face the reality early. Isn't it?"

"Everyone is young once. When I was your age, I also loved to cherish some unrealistic fantasies and chase the beautiful dreams of youth."

Bai Jun changed the subject, his eyes full of teasing, "But you can see that it's just like that now. It's better to talk about important life events like a partner as early as possible. If you are old and still don't have any results, people will inevitably wonder if there is something wrong with you."

White Wizard: “…”

The etiquette master looks young, and it is hard to imagine that he is over thirty years old.

So when he said this, the White Wizard reflexively said: "What about you, Mr. Fate? Don't you have no partner either?"

Bai Jun seemed to have heard a joke, with a smile spreading from the corner of his lips to the bottom of his eyes. He shrugged at him with a bit of mockery and regret.

"You may have a deep misunderstanding of me. I am not the kind of person who abstains from sex."

As he was speaking, a beautiful crimson figure appeared in the corridor, gradually approaching.

An elegant noble lady walked slowly over with a feather fan in her hand. Under her fair neck, a sapphire necklace as big as a pigeon egg almost blinded the eyes. On her wrists and fingers, she also wore rare treasures of the same color.

The whole person walks with the word "noble" in capital letters.

She walked slowly to Bai Jun, greeted the white wizard first, and then focused her whole attention on Bai Jun.

With a shy blush on her face, she raised her feather fan to cover her lips and whispered to him, "Hello, Mr. Fate. I wonder if Mr. Fate is free tonight. If he is free, can you accompany me to the palace banquet tonight? I would like to invite you to dance the first dance tonight."

In conjunction with what Bai Jun said before, and the invitation from this noble lady, Wizard Bai looked at Bai Jun's expression which changed again and again, and finally settled on gloomy.

Although it looked no different from his usual expression.

But Bai Jun still sensed his inexplicable emotions, admired it with interest, and then happily accepted the noble lady's invitation.

"Of course I am available, beautiful lady, I would be honored and look forward to dancing with you tonight."

Perhaps unable to bear this confusing and ambiguous atmosphere, the White Wizard didn't even want to say hello and turned around to leave - but was stopped by Bai Jun hypocritically.

"Master White Wizard, the night life in the palace is very boring. Why don't we go to the night banquet together tonight? Perhaps, we can experience a different palace life?"

Although both are princess teachers, Bai Jun and Bai Wizard have kept their distance from each other for many years.

When the White Wizard was giving lessons, the White Jun never went over to interfere; when the White Jun was teaching the princess etiquette, the White Wizard never went over to interfere.

Today's meeting was the most they had talked in the past decade or so.

After all, when we meet in normal times, we are just acquaintances. No one would be so idle as to interfere in other people's lives for no reason, or know too much about others.

The above ideas are based on what happened before I saw the white fungus today.

After a conversation with Bai Jun, the White Wizard realized that his understanding of the princess's etiquette master was too superficial.

How can such an unreliable person teach a princess well?

Thinking of the princess' endless praise for Fate Carranza, the White Wizard became more and more annoyed.

He really should get to know the princess's etiquette master better.

The White Wizard thought.

Night, Kansad Palace.

Men and women in gorgeous formal dresses danced gracefully to the unrestrained music. Their gorgeous dresses bloomed in the melody, like bright and flamboyant butterflies, their beauty was wanton and dazzling.

The white wizard in plain clothes seemed out of place in the dance hall. His eyes passed over the dancing men and women and fixed on Bai Jun, who was dancing gracefully with a noble lady in the middle of the dance floor.

He was indeed a frequent visitor here, and his dance steps were perfectly matched with those of the noble lady: bending down, spinning, and kissing, all were done perfectly and calmly.

Even when the noble lady made a mistake in her dance and was about to fall, he was able to modify his movements in time to cooperate with her, changing from lightly putting his arms around her shoulders to holding her waist. Bai Su's slender hands naturally hugged the noble lady to help her stand firm.

By the end of the dance, the noble lady looked like she was drunk, her face as red as a ripe apple.

She walked forward dizzily and wanted to kiss Bai Jun. When the White Wizard thought he would not refuse, Bai Jun took the noble lady's hand and gave her a light kiss on her fingertips.

Then he said goodbye to her with a kiss on her hand, calmly took the wine handed to him by the maid and took a few sips.

As if feeling the White Wizard's gaze, Bai Jun looked at him with half-squinted eyes across the sea of ​​people. Because of the alcohol, there was a hint of mist in his eyes, and his lips were a little redder.

Seeing that the White Wizard turned his head away and avoided his sight, Bai Jun wanted to play a teasing on him.

He walked across the crowd with a glass of wine in his hand and went straight to the White Wizard. "I didn't expect that the Master Wizard would actually come. How is it? Isn't this place much more interesting than your boring night life?"

The White Wizard moved his lips and said, "Not very good. It is better not to attend such banquets, so as not to lead the princess astray."

Bai Jun was silent for a moment.

"If you mean Her Royal Highness the Princess, please look behind you."

The White Wizard turned around as he was told, only to see Aurora walking towards him from behind.

White Wizard: “…”

"The musicians' performance tonight is really good. It makes us want to dance. I wonder if I have the honor to invite you, Master Wizard, to dance with me?"

The White Wizard turned around and opened his mouth to refuse, but Bai Jun said, "Master Wizard, don't be in a hurry to refuse. You can talk about it later."

The White Wizard was confused and wondered why he had to wait a while?

As a result, during the time they were talking, Ai Luo had already arrived in front of them. After the routine greetings, Ai Luo turned to Bai Jun and said, "Mr. Fate, I would like to invite you to dance, is that okay?"

Bai Jun didn't say anything, but just looked at the white wizard quietly.

Ai Luo also looked over with him and asked curiously, "What's wrong, Mr. Fate? Did Mr. Grandi not allow it?"

The White Wizard's full name is Grandy Lewis.

The White Wizard pursed his lips, his face tense, and looked even colder than usual.

Bai Jun then slowly said, "No, I was just inviting the wizard to dance with me, and I'm waiting for his reply."

There are two choices before the White Wizard at this moment.

Either refuse and let Baijun dance with the princess, or agree and he dances with Baijun.

Obviously, this was what Bai Jun meant when he asked him to wait.

Insidious and cunning.

Of course the White Wizard would not let the princess dance with such a person. His brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly, but he said, "Your Highness may be disappointed. I also want to dance with Mr. Fate."

Ai Luo raised the corners of his lips reluctantly, "It's okay, Mr. Grandi, I can wait until you guys finish dancing and then invite Mr. Fate to dance with you."

But Bai Jun didn't give her a chance.

"I'm sorry, Princess, I only want to dance two dances tonight. Let's talk about it another day."

Ai Luo couldn't laugh anymore.

She watched Bai Jun and the White Wizard leave, her hands hanging on both sides of her skirt, tightly grasping the lace on the fabric with such force that she almost tore it apart.

The clear, azure blue eyes were tinged with scarlet, looking eerie and enchanting.

Outside the Kansad Palace, the rose stems began to grow at a strange speed. Countless seedlings broke through the soil, and dense, eerie black thorns covered the stems, like disgusting caterpillars.

The fertile black soil was broken by the seedlings, revealing some tiny and mottled bones mixed in the soil. Golden or black hair was entangled in the rose-red bones, carrying a certain stench of rotting meat.

The rotten smell attracted carnivorous crows, which circled above the thorns, calling mournfully as they looked for food.

Finally, the crow found a gap in the thorns and flapped its wings to get in, but it didn't know that danger was approaching quietly.

It landed on the ground carefully, picked up a piece of broken bone with rotten meat, and was about to flap its wings to fly, but it had already been trapped in a cage of thorns. The dense thorns that could not see the sun gathered layer by layer, and its wings covered with crow feathers were drained of blood and discarded, and it moved to a place with more blood and flesh.

Finally, it fell to the ground, looking up at the sky with empty eyes.

It is pitch black and also snow-white.

It longs for the sky and ends up buried deep underground.
