[Comprehensive Fairy Tale] A long, long time ago

24. Nothing is certain

When the queen woke up slowly, she was already lying on her own bed.The king sat beside her bed, his whole body was covered in shadow, and his face could not be seen.The queen smiled weakly and looked at her husband: "Your Majesty..." "You knew it from the beginning?" The king suddenly interrupted her.

The queen blinked her eyes, unable to keep up with her thoughts, and subconsciously asked: "What?" "Did you know from the beginning that Cinderella is our child?" The king sighed deeply, "You Already know it?"

The queen's lips were pale: "Your Majesty..." "I owe this child too much," the king closed his eyes wearily, "Konstantin can't be King of Ingra either." "Your Majesty!" Cut off the king's words, "Konstantin is your son!"

"He's not my son." The king's voice was surprisingly calm, "Cinderella is my child." The queen smiled bitterly: "Then your majesty... what are you going to do?"

The king pondered for a while, then slowly said: "Cinderella will still marry Constantine, but Constantine will not become the king of Ingra. Ingra's heir will only appear after Cinderella gives birth to a child."

After speaking, the old king stood up from the chair and walked to the door.Before going out, the old king stopped and said, "Try to make up for it." After speaking, the king went out.The queen was lying on the bed blankly, two lines of tears streaked across the corners of her eyes and sank into her temples.

Lilith has gone through a big battle, and she is already exhausted at the moment.She sat on the steps without any image, her eyes were a little dazed.In fact, it was her first time to fight. Long-term training does not mean she has rich actual combat experience. This time, she was able to defeat Moira because of Lilith's surprise.

And Moira is just a half-baked witch after all, not comparable to Maleficent's level.

Lilith looked down at her hands, recalling the moment when Moira hit the tip of the gun just now, she felt nauseated for no reason.She couldn't be indifferent, especially now that she had calmed down, it made Lilith feel as if she had done something bad.

"Lilith?" Cinderella walked to her side, "Why don't you go in?" "Blow the air, let me calm down." Lilith smiled lightly, without turning her head.

Cinderella also experienced ups and downs in her life tonight. She didn't want to see Constantine for the time being, so she came out to find Lilith.She also sat beside Lilith, propped her chin and sighed, her face was full of exhaustion: "Tell me, who is right and who is wrong?"

"No one is right and no one is wrong," Lilith lowered her eyes, "Everyone is wrong, but you and Constantine are unlucky." Oh and me, I am just an outsider, it seems that I will not be able to intervene in the future Nosy.

Cinderella was amused by Lilith's words, she was silent for a while, and took out a small cloth bag from her pocket: "Konstantin asked me to give it to you."

Lilith took the cloth belt and knew what was inside without opening it.She held the things in her hands: "Thank him for me, our deal is considered complete."

Cinderella hummed, and suddenly reached out and patted Lilith's shoulder: "It's not your fault." Lilith twitched the corner of her mouth with some difficulty: "You said it lightly." "That's not your fault either. Cinderella suddenly took off the crystal slipper on her feet, and she raised those two beautiful shoes to the sun.The light passes through the shoe, casting a beautiful halo of light.

The rising sun is always beautiful. Lilith looked up at the sun, her eyes shed tears because she couldn't bear the strong light, she laughed at Cinderella: "What are you doing with your shoes?" The last thing for me," said Cinderella, "in every child's heart, the mother is the best, isn't she?"

Not necessarily, of course Lilith swallowed this sentence silently, just listening to Cinderella honestly.Cinderella continued: "Especially...Moira and her two daughters, in such a comparison, my mother is really cute."

"It's just that I never thought that I would see her alive one day." Cinderella's brisk tone fell into Lilith's ears, but it sounded extremely bitter, "Why should I bear these things?" Ah, that's not fair at all."

As she said that, Cinderella suddenly smashed the crystal slipper in her hand to the ground. The crystal slipper hit the stone and shattered in response, turning into a pile of fragments reflecting sunlight.Cinderella stood up barefoot and closed her eyes facing the rising sun: "Your Highness Lilith, thank you for everything you have done for me and Constantine."

"Then, goodbye." Cinderella left after saying this, she looked much more relaxed.Lilith looked at Cinderella's back and suddenly felt that this girl didn't need Constantine at all, and she could live well on her own.

"Why are you still standing there?" Lilith snorted, and César came out from the shadows, rarely without that joking expression on her face.He looked at Lilith with a serious expression, without saying a word.Lilith looked a little furious at him: "...what's wrong?"

César stood in front of Lilith, grabbed her right hand and looked at it.Lilith wanted to struggle, but found that César's strength was greater than she had imagined.César looked carefully at her hands—a pair of delicate hands, but now they were covered with mud and ash, and stained with blood.

César suddenly grinned: "How do you feel?" Lilith thought that this guy wanted to comfort her, but when he suddenly said something like this, Lilith immediately became furious: "Fuck you! "

"Hey," César held Lilith's hand, "Ingra's matter is over, we should go." Lilith was stunned for a moment, and murmured: "Yes, I also got the flame gem."

César pulled Lilith to stand up: "Although I don't know why, but you don't seem to want to go to your fief?" Zell hugged her waist very gentlemanly to help her stand still, and his voice became more gentle: "You don't want to go."

Lilith pushed César away, stroked her messy hair, said nothing, stepped on her shoes with a stiff back, and went back.César laughed loudly, Lilith clenched her fists, but couldn't hold back, a ball of fire brushed César's cheek, and hit the tree behind him with a bang.

César coughed twice and closed his mouth obediently.Lilith snorted coldly: "Leave tomorrow!" César shrugged his shoulders and made a funny salute: "Yes."

Lilith returned to her room in the palace, and when she closed the door and turned around, she saw herself in the mirror.Where is the exquisite and majestic Princess Lilith, now Lilith's skirt is torn, and her face is also black and white, looking very embarrassed.Lilith approached the mirror and looked at herself carefully.

She took out the flame gem given to her by Constantine from the small bag, and the gem was lying quietly on Lilith's palm. Lilith felt the heat, and she herself had extraordinary power, the flame gem It has a different resonance with her.

Well, it's a happy thing.Lilith fell back, lay down on the bed and closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.She is really tired.

Before leaving the next day, Lilith changed into simple clothes, and Constantine sent her to the pier.Lilith got off her horse and smiled at Constantine: "Go back, just send it here."

Constantine hummed, and glanced at César, who was on the side, but did not move his feet.César was so shrewd, he understood right away, he looked the two of them back and forth for a few times, and then boarded the boat first.When Constantine saw Césaire leave, he pursed his lips and said, "Cinderella rejected my marriage proposal."

Sure enough, Lilith coughed: "She doesn't need you." "You don't need to stab me in the heart again?" Constantine smiled, which was fleeting, "Anyway, thank you for your kindness to Ingra. Help, thank you... for helping me." Lilith felt a little unnatural: "It's just a deal."

"The flame gem is what you deserve," Constantine hesitated, "Lilith, I don't know what to say...Maybe when you return to Ingra, this place will be different from what it is now?"

Lilith felt that there was something hidden in Constantine's words: "What do you mean?" "...It's nothing." Constantine was silent for a while, then shook his head, "Good luck, my friend."

Lilith boarded César's boat with doubts, and the sailors pulled up the sails and stowed the boards.Lilith stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the blue sea, feeling very happy.

Especially feeling the heat emitted by the flame gem through the clothes, Lilith's mood is even better.She stretched her waist and called out to the distance, venting all the boredom in her heart.Lilith turned her head happily, and wanted to go back to the cabin to pack her things.

Then she saw Prince John nodded to her, and Lilith's smile froze on her face.She kept turning around for half a minute, and after recovering, Lilith smiled at John: "Why are you on the boat?" ()
