The magician of the fairy tale world

In the mirror, a prince dressed in rich clothes appeared.

He was tall and tall, but his face was highlighted and his appearance was blurry. But judging from the outline, he must be a handsome prince.

When the prince came to the hedge, all he saw were bushes in full bloom with beautiful flowers.

He passed through the hedge easily.

As he walked ahead, the hedges closed tightly behind him, as if to welcome the prince's arrival.

…

Seeing such a scene in the mirror, Aurora was confused:

"Why did other princes come and get entangled in thorns, thistles and bushes, and died miserably in this cursed land.

“When he comes, all these obstacles are gone, and even the hedge will give way?

"Could it be that he is a subordinate of the black witch? So not only will the cursed plant not attack him, but it will get out of the way."

Your Highness Aurora, you really deserve to be taught by me. You have the same problem as me. But Aurora, your guess is really too disgraceful. Why don’t you have any poetry at all...

Rhine's face was calm, but he couldn't help smiling in his heart.

According to the original work, Rhine believes that this is a poetic adaptation, some kind of exaggerated interpretation of destined love.

After all, in the older version of the story "Sun, Moon, Thalia", it was the king of a neighboring country who woke up Sleeping Beauty. After seeing the sleeping Beauty, the king became interested and had sex with her. , throughout the entire process, Sleeping Beauty was in a state of unconscious slumber.

But then, Sleeping Beauty gave birth to two children, the Sun and the Moon. The two babies unconsciously sucked on their mother, awakening the sleeping beauty.

Afterwards, Sleeping Beauty married the neighboring king who indirectly awakened her.

In comparison, the adaptations by Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm are much better.

Compared with the original version, the change of a chosen prince to wake up the princess instead of the rapist king is undoubtedly more in line with people's beautiful expectations for the story of the prince and princess.

The bushes and hedges give way, the thorns fade away, and the trees bloom. All the beautiful visions are to express this beautiful moment.

However, in a fantasy world that does exist, it is difficult for Rhine to explain the cause of this wonderful phenomenon.

The young magician shook his head lightly:

"I don't know either.

"Maybe it's because, after hundreds of years, the curse of the black witch has become weak enough to no longer be an obstacle. Or maybe it's because he is your destined lover. When he sets foot on this cursed land, even the world will give bless."

ah? Destined lover? Aurora's eyes widened, filled with endless doubts:

"But I don't even know him!"

…

The image in the mirror continues to change.

The prince stepped through the trees that automatically moved out of the way, shuttled through the sea of ​​crimson flowers, and continued to search inside.

Everything was eerily quiet.

Finally, he came to the ancient palace and opened the door of the small room where Princess Aurora slept.

Lying in the room, it was Princess Aurora!

She was sleeping soundly.

The camera immediately showed a close-up of the sleeping Princess Aurora.

Compared with today's blond girl, Aurora in the picture is larger and closer to a beauty in the traditional sense, because she was already 15 years old when she fell into a deep sleep.

The sleeping beauty in the mirror is as beautiful as the real girl in front of her.

There seems to be a magic power in her face that can sink a person's soul, but it doesn't have that sharp, indescribable temperament. It's more like a soft flower, which makes people pity her.

As soon as the prince saw Aurora, his eyes widened and he couldn't bear to blink.

As he watched, the prince couldn't help but leaned down and kissed Princess Aurora gently.

Blessings are fulfilled and curses are lifted.

In the mirror, Aurora suddenly woke up!

She opened her eyes, smiled and looked lovingly at the prince who had saved her.

The prince hugged her and walked out of the palace together.

Soon after, the sleeping curse that enveloped the kingdom gradually ended, and people woke up one after another.

However, after a hundred years, the kingdom is no longer what it was before. There are trees and weeds everywhere, and every house is covered by plants.

New words scrolled out of the mirror:

"Soon, the prince and Aurora held a grand wedding ceremony, and they lived together happily until they grew old."

The colorful picture in the silver mirror gradually dimmed, and finally disappeared, returning to darkness.

"Ah? Is this the end?" Aurora finally reacted and was very surprised.

"Among the many possibilities in the future, is this the best and most perfect ending?"

Aurora murmured slightly disappointedly:

"So in the end, the dark witch Maleficent, as the culprit, was not punished at all? - She is such a powerful witch, she has already transformed herself into a real dragon, and she must be able to live for many, many years.

"What if she rises again and wants to destroy our kingdom again? Who can stop her this time?

"And finally, that prince, I don't know him - he is from the future a hundred years later. His father must not have been born yet!

"Then, and then we are together like this? What kind of strange development is this?

"Didn't the blessing say that a kiss from a loved one can break the curse? But this was the first time he saw me, and I was still asleep. He couldn't even say a word to me.

“Don’t relationships need to take time to cultivate?”

Your Highness, your way of thinking is too far ahead of the current times. Wait, did I teach you all this? How to explain to His Majesty the King and the Queen... Rhine chuckled and said:

"Who knows. Maybe love at first sight counts."

Rhine's tone became ethereal again:

“Your Highness, you have read the road not taken.

“On that disastrous night ten years ago, there were two roads before you, one paved with flowers and poetry, the other covered with thorns and wind and rain.

"At that time, you were still too young, just a swaddled baby. I couldn't ask for your opinion, so I could only make the choice for you without authorization. I chose the path you are on now, and you have to bear such a heavy fate. .

"In the past few years, in order to make you become the prophesied warrior, the witches and I have put you through rigorous training. Moreover, we will soon embark on an unknown journey across the continent, and there may be unforeseen surprises on the journey. Danger. You have sacrificed too much to achieve your destiny. Thank you for your hard work, my princess.

"In this regard, I apologize to you for the choice I made without authorization."

After saying that, Rhine bowed deeply to the little princess in front of him.

Aurora shook her head vigorously and hurriedly helped Rhine up:

"No, that's not the case. Teacher, it's me who should thank you! I also want to thank my father, queen, mother, witch, aunt, and grandmothers! Thank you.

"If I had followed the original trajectory of my life, I would have been locked in a brass palace, ignorant of the world, ignorant of anything, stupid and incompetent. The tutor who taught me literature taught me that a A great man once said that the most unfortunate of all misfortunes in the world is to be ignorant of one's own misfortunes.

"It won't be long before Ende reveals the truth about the curse to the public, and the country will be in chaos. But I can only stay deep in the palace, listening to the maids telling them about the disasters in various places, and can do nothing but shed tears - of course it is more likely The thing is, I don't understand the so-called disaster at all, because I have never stepped out of the palace door.

"It's you, teacher, who gave me the opportunity to change everything with my own hands! Thank you!

"When things in the kingdom are settled, we will embark on a journey across the continent together to find the whereabouts of the black witch. Even if the final result is not perfect, I have tried it, and there is nothing to regret..."

…

Aurora and Rhine's worries are definitely not unfounded.

Some time before Aurora's birthday, a terrifying rumor had sown seeds in the Rose Kingdom.

No one knows where this terrible prophecy began.

Maybe it was gossip in the tavern, maybe it was the bluster of an astrologer, or maybe it was the guest who attended the princess's christening who gave a speech in person.

In a very short period of time, the saying that "the kingdom is cursed by a black witch and will be destroyed in five years" spread rapidly.

Every day, the old king was extremely busy because of the bad news coming from various places:

Farmers in the fields stopped working hard; bakeries and brewing workshops stopped operating; rich people with property fled the kingdom overnight with their families; even the well-disciplined army began to mutiny.

People in the streets said that the king of the Kingdom of Rose was a terrible and foolish king.

Everyone complained that the king had offended the terrible black witch, causing the country to face disaster.

Faced with more and more bad news, the gray-haired old king had to make a speech. He said that even if he escaped from the kingdom, he could not escape the curse. He also promised that there is a way to end the curse before the disaster actually strikes - the sage of the kingdom who left mysteriously 10 years ago is actually working hard to dispel the curse, and it won't take long for him to succeed.

But now, people no longer believe the king's words.

Today's Rose Kingdom is no longer the beautiful, peaceful and peaceful country it once was.

Throughout the country, from the royal capital to small towns and villages, there was no place without chaos.

Even if you walk on the street during the day, you will encounter robbers who want to rob you - since the kingdom will be destroyed in 5 years, why should we follow the order?

That's not the worst.

In the kingdom's most chaotic moments, bandits from neighboring countries also come to take a piece of the pie - and they seem to have planned it for a long time.

Ender's army raided the Kingdom of Lolth. They invaded the towns, looted, raped women, and set fires everywhere.

"Ahead is the Kingdom of Rose. You can take whatever you want, as much as you want. The gold and silver coins in the rich man's house, the sculptures in the city's central square, and the beautiful women of the opposite sex all belong to you. ! Their soldiers have long lost their fighting spirit and are no longer the majestic troops they used to be. They are unable to stop our cavalry at all!"

Before setting off, Ender's officers made this promise to the soldiers.

In fact, they did exactly that, and what the soldiers actually did was ten times worse and more horrific than what the officers promised.

…

"No, why is this happening?"

In the palace, the king was in pain and despair.

Now, the old king is even older, and there is not even a black hair on his head. He is not even sure how long he can hold on in the face of so much bad news.

"It must be the bastards from Ender who deliberately spread the news of the curse! It must be them! Their nobles once attended the princess's baptism ceremony and saw with their own eyes the process of the black witch Maleficent casting the curse, and they know all the secrets."
