How the dragon was defeated

19

A few days ago, the king's younger brother came to see the prince.

The prince is not doing well, but he is still a beautiful prince.

The younger brother of the king looks older than the prince, but he is still the same as before, cowardly when he does something wrong: "Brother."

The prince ignored him, and the noble and glamorous beauty had a strong sense of intimacy with others. Even if he was a prisoner, the prince still had a lofty attitude.

"Brother, do you know that I have envied you since I was a child."

Seeing that the prince ignored him, the king's younger brother started talking to himself.

"You are good-looking, but I am dusty. When we stand together, I will always be ignored."

"When you were captured by the dragon, I was also very sad. I cried for a long time, until my father said that the king would let me do it in the future."

"It's been 15 years, and no one will remember you."

"Why do you come back again, brother?"

After a long silence, the king's younger brother said again:

"Everyone misses you now, brother."

"Ten days later, brother, if you have anything else you want to do, you can tell me."

The king's younger brother didn't dare to look at the prince any more and left.

The guard had to write the prince's name eight hundred times a day, which was prettier than his own.Also prettier than the shorter name.

The prince was not as happy as before.

The guard felt very strange, but did not know why.

It doesn't matter if the guard doesn't understand, he thought, just make the prince happy again.

He sent bread, precious stones, and flowers to the prince.

Flowers are the most common flowers in the kingdom. They are freshly picked and delivered by the guards every day, and they are more alive than princes.

The day before the execution, the prince came out of his cell, his hair combed and his clothes fresh, followed by two other guards, waiting to be escorted.

The guard arrives with flowers.

The prince took the guards to the highest part of the palace, which had been his favorite place before.

He told the guards that he would report to the palace at noon tomorrow, when someone would hand him some books, which were used by the prince before and specially selected for him.

The guard is very happy.

The prince hesitated for a long time, and then said: "The other day, you said you liked it..."

Hearing these two words, the guard lit up his eyes reflexively: "Joe! I like it!"

"You, you are still young and don't understand the meaning of liking. You have to remember that you can't say this to others casually."

"Just, tell Joe."

"No." The prince corrected him.

The prince picked up the flowers given to him by the guards and asked him, "Are the flowers beautiful?"

The guard said, "It looks good."

The prince asked again: "Then, do I look good?"

The prince knew that he was good-looking, but he was a little shy to ask someone like that for the first time.

"nice!"

"Then, you like me just like you like this flower."

The guard doesn't understand.

"You like me only because you think it looks good. Everyone likes good things."

The prince approached the guard and put his hand on his chest.

"When you see someone you like, here, you will jump very fast, you will blush, and you will not be able to think about anything, only thinking about that person."

The guard understood again: "Then I just like Joe."

He grabbed the prince's hand and pressed it hard on his chest: "Here, hurry up!"

He touched his face again: "Hot!"

He touched his head again: "It's all Joe!"

"Leo, love Joe!"

The guard happily confessed his love, but the prince cried.

The prince looked good when he was crying, but the guard didn't care to look at it, so he hurriedly wiped the prince's tears.

"I'm sorry." He didn't know if he did something wrong.

"It's not your fault." The prince held back his tears, his eyes still watery.

The guard took out the gem and gave it to him to make him happy.

"Where did you get so many stones?" The prince smiled again, "You collect these yourself, don't give them to me again."

"Tomorrow, you won't be able to see me, so don't come looking for me."

The guard was puzzled.

"Because tomorrow, I'm going to go fight the dragon," the prince lied, "You know, the big bad and ugly black dragon, it lives far away, so I won't be back for a long time .”

The guard was not happy.

"Dragon, beautiful." He retorted.

The prince didn't care about this with him, he continued: "After I'm gone, you have to study hard, and don't give stones to others casually. Also, in the future, you will have someone else you like." The prince paused, " At that time, at that time, don't tell that person that you liked me, or that person will be unhappy."

"Will not."

"Joe, not very far." The guard grabbed the prince's hand.

"Dragon, here."

21

Before the prince could figure out that sentence, suddenly there was a strong wind, and the prince had to close his eyes.

When he opened it again, he saw himself.

To be precise, it was himself reflected in the dragon's eyes.

The prince was held in the claws of the dragon, and the dragon grinned, showing the row of irregular fangs, and was smiling.

It plucked a scale from its chest and gave it to the prince.

"this is for you."

"In this way, it will be defeated."

22

The night before the eldest prince's execution, the dragon woke everyone up.

It gave a long moan, as if it was in great pain.Some timid children were even scared to cry.

Everyone watched the wounded dragon rush to the sky, flapping its wings with difficulty.Flying and flying, it fell down again, and there was a loud bang in the distance.

Three days later, the king announced that the dragon that had become the eldest prince had been defeated, and the king had burned the dragon's body, leaving only one scale, which was placed in the hall of the palace as a souvenir.

23

The prince left his kingdom and traveled around.

He covered his beautiful blond hair with a hat, covered his pretty face, and wore the most plain clothes, so that no one could recognize him as the legendary eldest prince.

In fact, the prince has no purpose, just walks forward all the way.

There is a 15-year time difference between the world and him. There are many things he has never seen before, and he has learned them one by one.

It's just that every night, when he looks at the dark distance, he always thinks of the guard who confessed his love to him under the moonlight.

He thought that if he could go back to the past, he would kiss his forehead and tell him that he liked him too, and never say anything about the dragon.

Had I done that, the memory of that night might not have been stained with blood.

24

That night, there was an extra flower beside the prince's bed.

That flower is a flower that can be seen everywhere in the area. The prince picked it up and looked at it for a while, thinking that maybe the owner of the inn is more delicate.

He put down the flowers and fell asleep.

Perhaps it was because of the flower that the prince dreamed of the guard again.

25

Even if he stayed in a different hotel, the prince could receive a flower every day before going to bed.

Sometimes it's a local flower, sometimes it's a princely country flower, sometimes it's that kind of pale golden poisonous flower.

The prince looked at the poisonous flower and wanted to cry and laugh.

But in the morning, when the prince left the inn, he would take the flowers with him, and the poisonous flowers.Anyway, it's fine if you don't eat poisonous flowers.

It's just that the person who sent the flowers never showed up.

The prince was a little sad.

26

The prince fell ill.

When I opened my eyes in the morning, I felt a little dizzy, but the prince didn't take it seriously, and still ran from east to west as usual.

It's just that I couldn't stand it in the afternoon and wanted to take a rest, but it was midnight in no time.

Half asleep, half awake, the prince opened his eyes.

The prince looked sideways, looking for flowers.

The flowers were not changed.

people have arrived.

The dragon in human form held the prince's hand and sat beside the prince's bed, falling asleep.

The candlelight was flickering, and the prince's head was dizzy. Everything was unreal.

Maybe it was too uncertain, the prince moved.

The dragon woke up.

Seeing that the prince woke up, he let go of his hand and wanted to leave.

The prince quickly held him: "Don't go!"

His voice softened, almost pleading: "Leo, don't go."

The prince held the dragon's hand and kept saying don't go away, and fell asleep again after thinking about it.

27

"Dragon, here."

The prince was held in the claws of the dragon, which held him high, but he was not at all afraid of falling.He was at a loss as to what to do with the scales given to him by the dragon.

"you you……"

The dragon made a lot of noise, and soon attracted the guards and the king's brother.

The king's younger brother pointed at the dragon with a bow and arrow: "Brother! Get out of the way! I will kill the dragon!"

Before the prince could make a sound to stop the arrow, the arrow had already left the string.

It's a pity that the king's younger brother's archery skills are not very good, and one arrow hit the prince's arm.

The dragon got angry and threw its claws at the king's brother.

"Leo! No way!"

The angry dragon would not listen to anything, and the prince could not stop him.

The king's younger brother is not good at archery, but he gets full marks for dodging.As soon as the dragon rushed over, the king's younger brother dodged it.

The evil dragon was not reconciled, so he rushed again.The king's younger brother seemed to be hanging this time. The prince had no choice but to take the only weapon in his hand - the dragon scale, and pierced the only soft spot of the dragon.

Dragon scales are the hardest thing, but the heart is the weakest part of the dragon.

Before the prince realized it, the dragon had put him down and flew away.

28

When the prince woke up, his face was a little cool.

He cried again in the dream.

He wanted to reach out to wipe it, but couldn't pull it away.

He still holds the dragon's hand.

The evil dragon really came and never left.

The dragon was awakened by him.The evil dragon who just woke up is also in a daze, with innocent and cute eyes.

"Leo!"

The prince hugged him and called his name.

"Liorio, Riorio!"

The dragon's hands and feet didn't know where to swing, and after a while, he followed the example of the prince and hugged him back.
