[Daughter of the Sea] English Fairy Tale

Outsiders are generally not allowed to enter the king's study room, so there is no need to worry about the risk of being eavesdropped when talking here.After seeing the person coming, the guard quickly let him go.

When César entered the study, Isis's father, the current British King George V, had been waiting here for a long time.The king sat at his desk, and looked with great satisfaction at the young count standing before him.

"I'm glad to know you've come back safely, César." Ernst didn't add his title when he called the man.He got up from behind the desk, preventing César from kneeling on one knee, "There's no need to be too polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." César raised his head and looked directly at the supreme ruler of Britain. "The instigator behind the assassination has been identified."

Hearing the news, Ernst walked to the sofa next to the fireplace and sat down first, "You're doing well, kid. I think maybe you can sit down and talk slowly."

César smiled slightly, and calmly accepted the king's suggestion.The sofa chair is very soft, and when people sit on it, they can't help leaning against the back of the chair.However, César didn't feel the slightest sense of relaxation.

"This is the letter I got from the prisoner." As he said, he took out a letter from his jacket pocket and handed it to the king with both hands, "It's not so much a letter as it is a task letter for them... ..."

Ernst skimmed through the contents of the letter. The letter was written very simply, to the effect that the successor of His Majesty the Emperor should be disposed of without leaving any traces. After completing the task, everyone can get a huge commission.There is also a pattern left at the end of the letter. "Very well. I'm curious, though, how did you get the letter?"

"There is no one in the world who is not greedy...as long as there is a person, there will be weaknesses."

"That's right, as long as you are a human being, you will have weaknesses." Hearing César's answer, Ernst looked at the opposite man sharply, "Then what about your weaknesses, César?

Ernst had noticed the stubborn child from the first time he met Visa's son.Unlike the children of ordinary nobles, he has the forbearance and calmness that are not at his age... Now, he really lived up to his expectations.

After the slight surprise, César quickly returned to normal, and he calmly replied: "Your daughter Isis will be my only weakness."

"Hahaha——" Hearing the man's bold answer, Ernst was stunned for a moment, but then Ernst laughed out loud. He got up and patted the man's shoulder, "Remember your words."

"You did a beautiful job, but leave this letter with me first." Glancing at the clock on the wall, the king continued, "Tomorrow, I will go to see my dear brother. The sooner it's resolved, the better."

The king walked back to the desk. He picked up the framed photo on the desk and looked at it carefully.The portrait in the frame was drawn by a court painter - a photo of Queen Helen holding Isis who had just turned one year old.He and Helen's treasures have really grown up now.

Seeing the king's ecstasy, César didn't step forward to disturb him, and quietly withdrew.

It was the lunch break time of the royal palace, and apart from the guards patrolling back and forth, only a few maids and servants could be seen, their footsteps hurried and quickly disappeared into the complicated corridors.

Before coming to the palace, César had asked Aaron to go to the old house of the old Earl of Visa and report that he would go back to his mansion directly after finishing his business.He reckoned that Aaron should have arrived at the old house by this point.

After hearing his young master's words at that time, Aaron had a bitter face. If he really reported the news like this, the old Earl would probably be very angry.He could already foresee his tragic end: "Aaron will try his best to come back alive."

Before his mother passed away, César had never met his father, but the young boy always fantasized about how handsome and omnipotent his father was.

After his mother passed away, he followed his father who suddenly appeared back to the so-called "home". Seeing Mrs. Agnes' disgusted eyes and Ellen's contemptuous eyes, he realized...that place could never be his home.

Just as César was about to walk out of the palace hall, he suddenly heard a faint voice from a woman behind him: "Count César, please wait a moment."

So, he stopped in his tracks and turned around suspiciously, only to see Sheria, the maid beside the queen, shouting at Xiao ran, looking very anxious.

"My lord, please wait a moment." After finally catching up with Cizer, Siria finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Queen Helen knows that you haven't eaten yet, so I would like to invite you to the banquet hall on the second floor... Isis The princess is there too."

Sheria knew why Queen Helen was so anxious to summon Earl Cizer.After receiving the order, when she hurried to the door of the king's study, she was told by the guard on duty that the earl had left first.

Obviously, the last sentence was for himself, and César didn't ask any more questions.Led by Sheria, he followed her to the banquet hall on the second floor.As soon as he entered the hall, César saw Isis sitting beside Queen Helen with her head down. He couldn't see her expression, and he didn't know what the girl was thinking.

"Sit down." Seeing Cesare's arrival, Queen Helen was very accommodating. She pointed to the empty chair and said, "I guess you won't have time to go back to eat, Cesare."

Three people were seated, but only his chair had food placed in front of it.In this case, of course, César would not really think that he was here for dinner. He looked at Queen Helen who was sitting in the main seat, waiting for her to ask questions.

At this time, Isis, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally raised her head.During the meal, I explained everything that I should explain to myself, but my mother still wanted to see César today, and she couldn't stop her.

"I already know about the bracelet." Queen Helen finally said, "Isis is the only daughter of me and Your Majesty. As her mother, I personally disapprove...your approach."

"Mom—" Hearing what her mother said, Isis became a little anxious.She wanted to speak up to defend César, but she didn't know where to start.

"Okay, Isis." Seeing Isis's anxious look, Helen said, "You have been tired all day, I have something to talk to Isis alone, you go back first." Her tone reveals the meaning of undeniable.

"Okay." Unable to change her mother's decision, Isis walked out of the hall slowly.She can't control it anymore, she can do whatever she likes.

Dallying back to her bedroom, the girl was still a little unwilling.When she came in, she found that the suitcase had been delivered, and Emma was helping her organize the clothes.

"Let me help." The girl who had nothing to do said uninterestedly, "All these should be put in the cloakroom, right?" After speaking, without waiting for Emma's objection, Isis squatted beside her maid and began to help tidy up .

"Princess, what's the matter with you?" Seeing that Isis was in a bad mood, Emma asked hesitantly, "Is it for the Earl?"

"Is it so obvious?" Hearing Emma's question, Isis pointed at her face in surprise, "Could it be that César's name is written on my face?"

Emma shook her head amusedly, but said nothing.Recently, Earl Cesare is one of the few reasons that can annoy you, princess.

Well, I really failed.Why even Emma can guess my mind.On the other side, Isis, who had been guessed by her maid, simply gave up on tidying her clothes and sat directly on the bed.

I don't know, what will my mother say to César?Now, Isis feels like a cat's paw is scratching her heart.

No, how can the tech nerds of the new century sit still.Thinking of this, Isis stood up abruptly, and Emma next to her was startled by her action.

"Emma, ​​I want to go into the garden now. If anyone comes to me, say so."

"But, princess...you just came back." Emma stretched out her hand in vain, and could only watch Isis's back.

Along the way, Isis avoided the crowd and waited for Isis to arrive outside the banquet hall smoothly.Where can I hide? The girl looked at the empty corridors to the left and right, a little uncertain: "Where should I hide?"

While hesitating, Isis suddenly heard footsteps. In a panic, she rushed to the corner leading to another corridor and blocked herself with a large decorative vase.

"Siria, let's go to the king now." Queen Helen walked out first, "I don't know why, I've been feeling very tired lately."

"You should go back and have a good rest." Sheria looked at Helen worriedly, "Would you like to see Dr. Harvey, you don't seem to be in good spirits recently."

Mother looked fine. Isis crouched behind the vase and rested her chin in confusion.No matter, let's deal with the matter at hand first.When I look back, I must remember to call Uncle Harvey to come over and give my mother a diagnosis and treatment.

Looking forward, she saw her mother and Sheria walking farther and farther away, remembering that she still had business to do, Isis slapped her forehead and flashed out from the corner.Before she had time to straighten her messed up hair, she went straight into the banquet hall.

Seeing the girl who had already gone back but appeared out of nowhere, César remained calm, "I knew you would come back, Isis." The reason why he didn't leave was because he was waiting for Isis.According to Isis's personality, she will not give up until she finds out the matter.

"What did mother say?" This was her purpose, and Isis asked anxiously, seeing César's unhurried appearance.

César looked at the girl in front of him with a half-smile. Her hair was a little messy, and the chestnut hair was covered with fine petals, "Will you believe me?"

The answer was irrelevant, and it seemed that he didn't want her to know.Isis rolled her eyes and said suddenly, "Do you know what the biggest mistake in my life is?"

"what?"

"When I meet you, I will be doomed."
