"Oh, Miss Xi Lun'er, please wait a moment. The princes will be down soon." The older maid poured her a cup of black tea gracefully and said with a smile, "Thank you very much for your help to Prince Simon."

Zhao Xi took a sip of tea from the porcelain cup with mixed feelings and said, "You're welcome. I'm also in a mixed mood right now."

The maid covered her mouth and laughed. Behind her, other maids pulled open the heavy dark green curtains, revealing the original appearance of the luxurious palace, with rolling red carpets and exquisite candlesticks.

Zhao Xi sat at one end of a fire-patterned porcelain table that was at least ten meters long, and was respectfully invited to wait for the arrival of Prince Simon and his princess Rebelle.

Yesterday, after Mr. Elf helped her deal with Kaxiu and his group, Zhao Xi took the thunderstorm into consideration and planned to go back to the small town to stay for a night before going to collect the debt.

Rebelle still owed her.

As a result, there was a knock on Zhao Xi's hotel room door early in the morning. When she opened the door, she saw an old man dressed as a gentleman. He respectfully handed her an invitation letter. It was an invitation from Prince Simon Turis, a distinguished guest, and he hoped that she would go to the castle to meet him.

Zhao Xi: ???

Zhao Xi went there, and she also realized that the beast named Simon seemed to have had a magical experience last night.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Xi arrived, he got the truth out of the head maid.

It turns out that one hundred years ago, Simon Tust was a prince of a country, but he was arrogant and had no kindness. On a rainy day, he coldly rejected an old woman who asked for help from the rain, but he never thought that the old woman was a witch. In anger, she cursed Simon and turned him into an ugly and terrible beast. If no one could fall in love with him before the magic rose withered, he would become a beast forever.

But over the past hundred years, no one was willing to approach him, and the beautiful castle was deserted until Rebelle accidentally broke in.

Zhao Xi listened to this love story with great interest, and knew that Simon and Rebel had invited her to be their guest because the curse was lifted after they expressed their feelings to each other yesterday.

"Xi Lun'er, you're here!"

Rebelle's joyful voice came from above. Zhao Xi looked up and found that Rebelle was wearing a bright yellow evening dress. Her brown curly hair gracefully hung on her naked white collarbone. She wore a crown on her head that symbolized a princess. She walked towards her happily with her hands in yellow long gloves holding up the hem of her skirt.

Behind her was Simon, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes. He did not look as scary as a wild beast at all. He had short, slightly curly golden brown hair and a handsome and noble face. His blue eyes looked at Rebelle as gently as water as she came down with him.

Even though Rebel became a princess, she still had the cheerful and easy-going nature of a small town girl. She quickly walked to the table, pulled out a chair and sat down next to Zhao Xi.

Simon did not scold her at all. It should be said that he liked Rebel's true appearance, so he sat next to her.

"Xi Lun'er, do you know? Simon is not a beast, he is a prince. It's really amazing..." Rebel excitedly told Zhao Xi about the miraculous process of Simon's transformation into a human yesterday. Zhao Xi listened carefully and occasionally responded with a smile.

"In short, we are all very grateful to you, Miss Xiluner." Simon said gently after Rebel finished speaking.

Zhao Xi looked at the man in front of her. His movements were very measured and he looked into his eyes sincerely when he spoke. She couldn't believe that he was cursed because of his ruthlessness and arrogance.

Zhao Xi said without hesitation: "It doesn't matter, after all, I want to get paid."

Rebel was not angry at all, because it was Zhao Xi who was the one who helped them to lure away Kaxiu and the others alone, so Rebel and Simon looked at each other, and Simon took out a glass jar with a beautiful rose in it.

"Please accept it, it will never fade." Simon said with a smile.

Zhao Xi was stunned. After hearing what Rebel just said, she certainly knew the value of this rose. To Rebel and others, this rose was a priceless treasure.

Originally, Zhao Xi had stopped worrying about her reward when she knew Simon was a prince, but she didn't know it was so precious.

Ruibeier smiled and said, "Xilun'er, we thought about it and decided that if you want a unique gift, this would be the most suitable one. The others are too ordinary."

Zhao Xi said: "But isn't it very important to you?"

Simon said: "It's not the objects that are important, but the people who have experienced it together." He gazed at Rebel, took her hand and kissed her: "My rose has always been with me."

Rebelle kissed back passionately.

Zhao Xi: “…”Okay, I’m redundant.

"Be sure to remember to come to our wedding!"

Before leaving, Rebel waved loudly and Zhao Xi smiled and nodded.

Zhao Xi set out again in the morning dew.

The necklace glowed, and the restless Mr. Elf appeared again.

He floated in the air and reached out to open Zhao Xi's small basket. Beautiful crystal shoes and exquisite glass roses were lying quietly there.

Zhao Xi did not stop it. It should be said that since the elf took the initiative to help her last time, she has been more tolerant of the elf's actions.

"It's magical." Xie Sui had been paying attention to the development of the story and was also very surprised that Zhao Xi's illusion was so fantastic and unpredictable.

"You are the most magical existence." Zhao Xi said as he covered himself with the red checkered cloth.

Xie Sui asked, "Why did you let them go then?"

Zhao Xi didn't know why he suddenly asked this question, so he answered casually, "Nothing, I just wanted to do that."

"But what if Simon isn't a prince? If they run away together, you won't get nothing. It's not easy to get a unique gift. What if your sister's wedding has already started and you haven't found her yet, and you can't make it to the capital?"

When the elf's voice is lowered, it is as enchanting as the song of a siren, making people immersed in his imagination.

Zhao Xi slowly stopped and stared blankly at the elf in front of her. She put on her red cloak again, which made her beautiful face look as pure as an innocent lamb. "Don't you still have me?"

What? Xie Sui was startled. Zhao Xi looked like the little fox Zhao Xi who rarely showed dependence on him. Xie Suixin couldn't help but soften again, and said as if he had no choice: "Yes, you still have me, the little fox who plays tricks."

He went back into the necklace.

Zhao Xi had no idea what the elf was doing. What she meant was that she could make two more wishes. If she really couldn't find it, she could just make another wish. The situation the elf described would not happen.

Forget it, let's hurry on. Rebel said that the next big town is the territory of Duke Brown Slee. If there is a chance, she may get an invitation letter.

Walking into the city, Zhao Xi's eyes were opened by the hustle and bustle of the city. The crowds were bustling, which was completely different from the quiet and small town.

Zhao Xi had sharp eyes and immediately saw a group of people in front of the bulletin board.

She squeezed right in and heard the conversation between two people.

"The Duke has started recruiting again. The last one failed again."

"This is really strange, what happened to the three young ladies?"

When Zhao Xi heard that it was about the Duke, he immediately asked with a smile, "Excuse me, what is it?"

One person looked at Zhao Xi and was happy to explain to the beauty: "It's the young ladies of the Duke's family. I don't know what's wrong. They have no energy every day and sleep all day because they are very tired. Their shoes are broken every day. The Duke thought they ran out to play secretly, and he sent people to guard every corner of the manor, but the young ladies have never left the room."

Another person rushed to say, "They won't tell us when asked, saying they didn't do anything. The Duke is worried about his daughters, so he issued a reward. Whoever can find out the reason will be granted a request by him. But there are almost ten people, and no one has found out the reason."

Zhao Xi thought for a moment, then turned around, tore off the reward and took it.

Then she smiled and asked the person who answered her: "Excuse me, how do I get to the Duke's Palace?"

The man, with his mouth open in surprise, pointed her in a direction dully.

In the Duke's mansion, the Duke was drinking tea in a melancholy manner.

"My lord, my lord, another person has accepted the mission."

When he saw the butler's words, he just waved his hand and said, "I know, let the person in." Alas, this is the nth time, and every time he has failed.

But when someone walked in, the Duke still widened his eyes in surprise: a soft and beautiful girl, wearing a red cloak and carrying a small basket, who was the same age as his daughter.

Seeing that he even bowed politely.

The Duke couldn't help but say, "Girl, do you know what you are doing? There is a price to pay for fooling a Duke."

Who knew that the girl was not afraid at all, with a beautiful smile on her face: "I never thought of teasing you, I am serious, please give me this chance."

----

In the room, the Duke's three daughters sat together.

"Sister, sister, someone else has taken the task. I heard it's a girl. I wonder what her abilities are." The second lady said to the eldest lady worriedly.

The eldest lady pondered: "Girl? Don't worry, she won't notice anything. I will let her have a good dream."
