I Am the Fifth of the Four Demon Kings
v3 Chapter 29: Princess and the Pea
Although the old queen was enthusiastic, Lu Ming still didn't really want to enter the castle.
About the story of Princess and the Pea, he has no interest in participating at all.
But the old queen seemed to see his reluctance, pointed to the sky and told him:
"Come in, the weather today is not so good, I heard that there will be heavy rain at night."
Lu Ming looked up and found that the sky not far away was indeed gloomy and terrifying. It was not far from them. I am afraid that it will not be long before the storm will sweep over them.
"okay then."
Lu Ming nodded, barely agreeing, and he felt that maybe he could take this opportunity to ask them about the kingdom witches.
Lu Ming and the others came in, they found that the castle was very deserted, and there were few servants in it, and they couldn't even see the shadow of the protagonist in the notice—the prince.
Regarding this, the old queen explained to him:
"The prince recently went to a neighboring country. I heard that there is not a... Yes, Princess Rose, he has encountered some difficulties, and he went to help her. By the way, see if there is a chance to marry that princess."
"Counting the time, it's almost back now."
When Lu Ming heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle, thinking of the prince who was wounded by thorns.
finally climbed to the princess's dormitory, but unfortunately they got ahead of him.
I didn't expect that the miserable prince was from the Princess and Pea country.
Empress did not notice the weird expression of Lu Ming, and she said to herself as she walked ahead:
"But how could he know that the real princess is not so easy to find, I am afraid that he will go out this time and return without success."
The old queen finished speaking, and fell silent for a while, then suddenly turned around and asked them:
"Speaking of which, since you are travelers, have you heard anything about the princess?"
The old queen looked at them with a glimmer of expectation in her eyes. She hoped that there would be a princess passing through their kingdom and then marrying the prince, it would be so beautiful.
It's a pity that such a good thing is impossible.
However, Lu Ming shook his head and told her:
"Princess? I have indeed heard of it."
"You don't have to look for it specially, she will find it tonight."
He refers to Princess Pea. I remember that in the story, Princess Pea was found on a stormy night.
Such violent storms are not common in this world, but looking at the sky, you will know that this is a rare heavy rain tonight, and it should be almost the same time that Princess Pea encountered.
"How did you know?"
The old queen asked suspiciously, with some unbelief in her expression.
"I am a wizard."
Lu Ming said casually, and told her:
"I came here just to ask if there is any news about witches in this kingdom."
"The wizard?"
The old queen looked at Lu Ming for a while, and believed Lu Ming's words for the time being.
No matter what, Lu Ming should have no need to lie to them. After all, whether there will be a princess visiting, as long as the sky is completely dark, it can be confirmed.
So she replied:
"It's rude, I didn't expect you to be a wizard."
"But there is a question about witches, forgive me for not answering, because our kingdom has never seen a wizard from beginning to end."
The old queen's answer, Lu Ming was not surprised.
After all, there are not a few of the rare professions of wizards in every kingdom, and even if there are none, it is not a rare thing.
And he had noticed before that the witch head portrait offered by Ai Tasha has not entered their kingdom. It seems that witches are indeed extinct in this country.
"Excuse me then, we will leave here after avoiding this storm in the castle."
After hearing that there were no witches in this kingdom at all, Lu Ming was completely disappointed in this kingdom and had already planned to leave.
The old queen also nodded. Their kingdom can't help the wizard, and she can't help it.
After helping Lu Ming and the others find a room, the old queen left first.
And at this time, Lu Ming noticed that there was a pattering sound outside. The rain had already started. Not long after, the wind was strong, and it seemed to be heavy.
He and An Leiya stayed in the castle comfortably, expressing their happiness, fortunate that they did not choose to go on their way at this time.
But I really want to talk about it, in fact, he can use the magic power of the holy sword to blow away the dark clouds in the sky, just to ask about the witch, he chose to stay.
"Well, staying in a castle is better than riding in a carriage."
Lu Ming comforted himself.
At this time, he heard a knock on the door outside the castle.
This voice was obscured by the heavy rain. If it weren't for a person with sharp hearing like him, it would really not be heard.
Obviously, the old queen and the others have not heard this sound, and the person knocking at the door did not mean to stop.
Lu Ming sighed helplessly, and had to leave the room, trying to remind the people in the castle.
It’s just that he just came out ~lightnovelpub.net~ and he found that the old king in the castle seemed to be walking outside, passing by the door of the castle and hearing the knock on the door there.
Lu Ming saw that the old king had opened the door in the past, and shook his head. He thought that he would go back to the room in vain, but he didn't expect to see the man who appeared outside the castle, so he stopped.
That was a very beautiful person, but at this moment, after being baptized by the rainstorm, she was very embarrassed.
After experiencing wind and rain, she looked very embarrassed. The rain flowed down her clothes and hair, into the toes, and then out of the heels.
"I am a princess, and I came here for the notice."
She said so as soon as she appeared.
What happened here, of course, also shocked the queen, but how the queen looked at it, it was hard to believe that the embarrassed girl in front of her was the princess.
wanted to drive her out, but thinking of what Lu Ming said before, a princess would come to their castle tonight, the queen hesitated again.
In the end, she made a decision to first invite the self-proclaimed princess in, and then she could find a way to test her identity.
Queen invited this woman covered in rain in, and Lu Ming just stood on the side of the corridor, leaning against the wall, observing them.
The very beautiful girl appeared very courteous after she appeared. Even if she was showered in this appearance, she still did not lose her temperament, just like a real princess.
She slowly followed the queen's footsteps and disappeared at the end of the castle corridor. After a long time, Lu Ming, who was standing on the side, pulled out a smile.
It seems that the story of the Princess and the Pea has also changed. Maybe I don’t have to leave early tomorrow.
