Protagonist, wake up

"Your Highness? Your Highness?"

After Jian Zhu came back to his senses, he found that he was in a dark room, and there was a maid standing in front of him, calling him in a low voice.

"What, what's wrong?"

"Your Highness, the seventh year is coming soon, but His Majesty the King hasn't let us out yet." The maid showed a perplexed look on her face, "We are running out of food and drinking water, and if we don't think about it, we may be sleepy." Died here."

ha? ? ?

Jian Zhu was dumbfounded.

who I am?where am I?What am I going to do?

Seeing his blank expression, the maid became even more anxious: "Your Highness!"

"Cough, I'm distracted, what did you just say?"

The maid sighed and said: "Your Highness, we really have to find a way to get out." She bit her lip, looked at Jian Zhu cautiously and said, "Your Highness, don't worry about making His Majesty unhappy, it's been so long, Your Majesty You must have calmed down a long time ago, after all, you are his favorite princess."

Now Jian Zhu just wanted to send people away, so he took advantage of the situation and said, "I know. We will go out, let me think about it by myself first."

After the people left, Jian Zhu looked around and found that the room was not big, and many of the furniture were made of old wood, and some of them were cracked a few times.The walls were of gray stone, with copper oil lamps hanging from them.

Judging from the fact that the maid came down the stairs just now, there should be more than one floor here.Although the entire room has all the facilities, it always feels lifeless.Moreover, there is no window in the room, and there is a sense of suffocation after staying for a long time.

The more Jian Zhu looked at it, the more he felt that this place was like a room in a tower. He just wanted to verify his idea, but he almost tripped when he took a step.

What hindered him was a gorgeous skirt.

Jian Zhu looked down with a sullen face, and when he saw the complicated foreign dress that swelled like a colorful cake, his face turned green.

What the hell is going on? ! !

Jian Zhu hurriedly touched up and down, and then he was relieved.It's okay, he's still a man.But... Jian Zhu grabbed her smooth long black hair and wanted to cry.This skirt is real, and this long hair is also real!

It was only then that he remembered that the maid was addressing her as the princess.

Why can't you hear the voice so masculine...

Wait, what else did she say?Closed for seven years?

Princess, king, tower, seven years... Connecting these nouns together, Jian Zhu suddenly felt a pain in the ass—isn't this the "Princess Marlin"? !

Is it the princess Marin who was locked up in a dark room for seven years without any logic?The most amazing thing is that the king has prepared food for seven years, and those foods have not spoiled after seven years? !

orz...

Jian Zhu wiped her face.

Strange things happen every year, and this year it's my family's turn.

Jian Zhu sorted out his mood, and moved downstairs like a penguin with the hem of his skirt in his hand - no way, he couldn't adapt to the form of women's clothing wearing giant cake skirts and high heels for the time being.

He found the maid and asked her for a mirror.

A beautiful face was reflected in the mirror.Smooth black hair, dark eyes, the entire skin tone has been adjusted, and the facial features have been slightly adjusted. It looks like a beautiful picture has been retouched.But Jian Zhu refused this change. The current women's attire made him inexplicably annoyed, and he wished to tear it all off.

He put down the mirror, turned around and tentatively said to the maid, "You're right, and Marin couldn't stay anymore."

The maid looked surprised: "Your Highness, you have finally figured it out!"

Jian Zhu... Jian Zhu nodded silently.

He cleared his throat and asked, "Is there any men's clothing here?" After a pause, he added, "If you want to escape, you should change into something more convenient."

The maid didn't know why, but she still said, "But Your Highness, there are no men's clothes here."

"..."

Jian Zhu rubbed his forehead, and said weakly: "Forget it, let's find a way to get out first. I just checked, and the pagoda stones are a little loose in some places. So, take the knife and fork, and we can use them to dig a way. "Thanks for these shabby projects.

Maid Xingxingyan: "Wow, princess, you are awesome!"

Jian Zhu twitched the corners of his mouth.Girl, your acting skills are too exaggerated...

Then Jian Zhu and the maid took a knife and started their project of Yugong Yishan.They dug day and night, and finally dug down a few bricks one day, opening the way to the outside world.

The maid was very excited, but Jian Zhu was calm.He knew that next the princess' kingdom was in ruins, and the maid was doomed to disappointment.

Sure enough, when the two walked out of the tower, they found that there was a scorched field in front of them, and the ruins of the palace were farther away.Jian Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, and took the time to comfort the heartbroken maid.

The maid was tearful: "Your Highness, what should I do about this?"

"I have to take one step at a time." Jian Zhu was quite relaxed, he didn't want to follow Princess Marlene's story at all, and then find a prince to marry.Although he didn't know who he was, he was definitely not Marin, and he hated this name from the bottom of his heart.

The two of them walked and stopped all the way, and when they were hungry, they would rely on nettles to satisfy their hunger.People along the way refused to take them in because they saw their clothes, so they had to keep on going.At last they found a farmhouse near the edge of the neighboring country.The owner of the farmhouse is warm and hospitable. He entertained the two warmly and kindly provided them with food.It was getting late at this time, so the two asked the farmer to let them stay overnight.

When going to bed at night, Jian Zhu went to the farmer's wife and asked her if she could give him a man's suit and a pair of scissors.The woman picked and picked, and finally said with a look of embarrassment: "Miss, I only found this one. If you don't dislike it, try it on."

It was made of rough linen, with holes in it, and the size was too big. The peasant woman thought that Jian Zhu was a noble lady, so she definitely didn't like this kind of clothes.But these are actually nothing to Jian Zhu.He took it with a look of surprise, thanked him repeatedly, and made the peasant woman even more embarrassed, and offered to help him with the clothes.

Jian Zhu solved the problem of clothes, and the next thing is hair, he really can't stand this long hair.He sat in front of the mirror and cut his hair short with scissors.Treated in this way, the originally neutral appearance becomes more masculine.

Jian Zhu was secretly satisfied.That's all done, except for the name.He thought about it for a long time but couldn't remember his full name. He only vaguely remembered that in a certain scene, there was a magic wand shining with stars, scattered white feathers and... as if he suddenly remembered something, he immediately lowered his head and groped around.In the end, he found two necklaces in the innermost layer of the clothes.

Both necklaces carry the temperature of the human body.There is a ring hanging in the middle of the chain, and the ring is polished very smooth.One brass ring has a hollow pattern, the other is made of silver, with only faint dark lines on it.

Jian Zhu took the two rings under the lamp and inspected them carefully, and found that there were small writings on the inside of them, which looked like some strange symbols.

English is engraved at the intersection of the symbols, and the font is smooth and cursive, but it has become blurred for some reason.The engraved English is too small, as if he didn't want people to find out, Jian Zhu leaned closer to read it carefully for a long time before he could barely make out what was engraved on it.

"Bless J"

The exact same words appeared on both necklaces.

Who is J?is it him?Whose are these rings?

Jian Zhu felt a blur in front of his eyes, but soon recovered.Intuition told him that he was J.

But if he was J, why did he become Marlin?

**

At dawn, Jian Zhu opened his eyes.After changing his clothes, he got up quietly, looked at the sleeping maid, and then went out to find the peasant woman who was already up.He gave the peasant woman a sumptuous set of clothes and jewelry, but the peasant woman could not refuse, and finally insisted that she could accept the clothes, but she would give Jian Zhu some money.

She counted out a few silver coins from a small dowry wrapped in several layers of rags, and secretly gave Jian Zhu a lot of food.After Jian Zhu thanked her, he set foot on the path alone.He had wanted to get rid of the maid early in the morning, the family was nice, and he had told her that he would definitely find her a job to earn a living.
