How to tarnish a classic fairy tale

, Andy shouted to me anxiously: "You go!"

I couldn't help but smile at him, and he showed a desperate expression.

I picked up his dropped saber and walked over to the lone cub.

The big bear immediately targeted me, roaring and rushing towards me.

Andy screamed in despair: "No—!"

I stood still, and my sword hand did not tremble.

Three meters, two meters, one meter.

bang...

The big bear's huge body collapsed, and I happened to be crushed under it, almost crushed to death...

What a shame...

And the sword, straight in its chest, just like I used to do with tiger sharks.

"No, how are you..." Andy rushed over with a crying voice.

I could only weakly raise my hand to touch his head, and then lost consciousness.

When I woke up, I was faced with Andy's haggard face.

I'm fine, just two broken ribs...

Andy smiled at me reluctantly, but his tone was very depressed: "It is impossible for a bear to appear in the paddock for no reason. I sent someone to investigate and found that my sister did it."

I froze for a second, remembering that Andy had nagged me a lot about myself before.He has a half-sister who is ten years older than him and is still unmarried and has always been very kind to him.

The King only has two kids, and if Andy dies, then...

I understand.

To be honest, I miss my six fierce sisters so much...

Andy didn't tell anyone about it in the end.

While I was recuperating, the princess of a neighboring country came to visit, but Andy couldn't push it and received it several times.

When my injury is almost healed, the princess will leave too.

"I'm going to see Princess Lilith off tonight." Andy told me with a frown.

He has been on his mind these days.

I pointed at him, then at me, making a "together" gesture.

He was taken aback: "Huh?"

I compared it again, and he tentatively asked:

"You want to come with me?"

I nodded wildly.After all these days in bed, I'm getting seaweed.

He never refused me, hesitated for a moment and nodded.

The king saw off Princess Lilith on board the Oriental Princess.

I stared at the princess in a daze.

Isn't this one of the people who rescued Andy that day?

Princess Lilith has dark skin, bold and unruly demeanor, and revealing clothes. I am a little stunned.

Andy has been morose.

The Oriental Princess is even more gorgeous than the ones I've seen before.There was a lot of toasting in the cabin, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

"Quiet!"

The stout king raised his glass:

"Thank you for coming to the engagement banquet between Inuzi and Princess Lilith..."

I shook my head and looked at Andy in disbelief.

He closed his eyes not to look at me.

I thought my ribs were broken again, so I checked out on deck and found them all good.

Where did the tearing pain in the chest come from?

Andy came out with me.

"I'm sorry," he said with a painful expression, "I don't want to, but there is no way..."

I understand the involuntary pain of being an heir.

My expression was calm, but he was crying very sadly.

I stared at him, suddenly wanting to taste his lips again.

I lowered my head and covered my lips.

His eyes widened, tears streamed into his mouth, salty.

Almost, I seem to have tasted all the joys, sorrows, joys and sorrows of human beings within a month.

I smiled at him, quickly jumped over the railing and jumped into the sea.

"No...no—!" I heard him shout in despair, "Let go of me! Hurry up and save people!"

Farewell, my prince.

Chapter 11

Being a fish again is boring.

To be honest, I kind of miss Andy.

Didn't expect us to meet again so soon.

Originally, she just wanted to silently follow his ship to take a look at him, but she didn't expect to see him jumping off the deck directly.

I was startled and swam over quickly.

The impact of falling into the water had already made him dizzy, so he didn't struggle and let himself sink.

I hugged him and went upstream.

He opened his eyes, looked at me blankly, and spit out a stream of bubbles.

I sent him back to the beach.

"It's nice to see you again..." He touched my face obsessively.

"Why can't you think about it!" I said angrily.

Startled, he woke up.

"You can talk?! Are we in heaven?"

"You're alive. So am I."

At this time, he saw my blue fish tail and was stunned.

His gaze made me a little sad.

"Don't go!" He hugged me immediately, "Even if it's a dream, let me hug you for a while longer."

I couldn't bear to refuse him, so I hugged him and patted his head.

"I miss you so much..." His eyes were red.

"How did you jump into the sea?" I couldn't help asking.

He buried his head in silence.

"Is that your sister?" I asked.

He shook his head in my arms.

"I just want to see you again." He said with tears, "I have broken off the engagement, please forgive me."

I sigh.

"I didn't want to die that night," I said. "As you can see, I'm not human. We can't be together."

He hugged me in panic.

I am helpless.

It seems that I don't know when it started, and I can't say no to him.

"Actually, I like you, from the very first meeting." I said silently in my heart.

***

Later, I went to ask my father, but my father couldn't stand my harassment and turned Andy into a mermaid.

His tail is a shimmering sun-colored, just as beautiful as his hair.

I have my little friend.

Andy later told me that he had made a deal with his sister to trade the throne for freedom.

He always believed that I was the one who saved him that night, and he jumped into the sea in despair, just holding the idea that he would be with me no matter what.

Later, we got married at the bottom of the sea, and my sisters liked him very much.

"Ryan, don't bully Andy!" Fifth Sister took his hand, which made me very upset.

"Hey, you must be happy..." Third Sister cried like a pear blossom with rain.

"You boy, you actually got married earlier than us!" Sixth Sister said angrily.

After we got married, our life was the same as usual. We went to explore shipwrecks, told stories to Uncle Cuttlefish (mainly Andy told me), listened to my sisters’ nagging, and did some shameful things...

Later, I gave up the throne to my wise second sister, and I went to explore distant seas with Andy.

The mermaid and the prince end up living happily ever after.

Emperor's New Clothes

The emperor has a special cloakroom, just inside the palace.When the emperor was a child, this cloakroom was used by the old emperor and the empress dowager, the old emperor was a thrifty gentleman—the exact opposite of the empress dowager—they never had a disagreement in the cloakroom.The little boy emperor was playing hide-and-seek with his servants in the deep and long cloakroom. Various skirts, silk, satin, gauze, and silk, were dragged over the little boy emperor's powdered white wig, until the inlaid The plain coat of the dull little shell hangs above his head, a large brass mirror vaguely reflects half of a cat's face smeared by a child, and the cloakroom is almost at the end.

On one of the few occasions, the emperor saw a man in the deepest part of the cloakroom. He was tall and a bit fat, wearing a gorgeous and fashionable long vest with three lily embroidered patterns. In the mirror, there was a handsome face exactly like the old emperor's. .When the emperor was young, he had not developed an arrogant and indulgent character. He hid behind his mother's layers of skirts and watched quietly.The man leisurely adjusted the stand-up collar and loosened the petal-like lace cuffs. Occasionally, the yellow eyes in the mirror cast a meaningful smile, causing the emperor to retreat slowly and escape from this charming and suffocating dream.

The last memory of childhood, the emperor still met a man, he turned around, as if the whole person was deprived of color, his face was exactly the same as the old emperor, with pale eyebrows, pale eyes, pale lips, empty like a waiting Blank paper for coloring.The emperor fainted at this moment and fell into a cold embrace.When he woke up, the queen at that time was holding him and arguing with the old emperor. They spoke the language of the queen's country, and the emperor couldn't understand a word. He was tired and stiff, and his lips were purple, which was often kissed by ice and snow. trace.The emperor stroked his lips and fell asleep again. He felt that the kiss had captured his soul, and maybe he would never be able to have the joy of love again in this lifetime.

After many years, this cloakroom belonged to the emperor himself.After the queen mother lost her husband, she had no intention of dressing up, and her sea-like collection is still filled here.The emperor did not marry a wife. He walked into the cloakroom alone and found that it was really a small room. In his memory, the empress dowager's skirt hung so high that it only reached his shoulders.He stroked it slowly with one finger, and walked to the plain dress inlaid with small shells in just a few dozen steps. At this moment, he suddenly felt timid—it was not easy to see it in an emperor of this age. Yes—he hid his body behind the coat, poked out half of his face to see...

In the large brass mirror, half of his face was pale and sallow, and it was his own.He didn't know whether it was regret or rejoicing: it must be his uncle suffering from albinism, he thought.Finally he came out from behind his father's old clothes, but at this moment, he saw that long-lost long vest, bright and gorgeous, with lily embroidery, which was worn on him, and the cuffs in the middle of the forearm were like petals. His eyes showed a cloudy orange in the mirror, like a smile but not a smile.

The emperor almost fell backwards, but the emperor was no longer a child. He walked around casually, and the person in the mirror followed him a few steps; he turned around, and the mirror followed suit; people come.

The emperor faced the mirror and thought for a moment.He began to undress, first the sash, then the military coat, then the suede boots, the tight trousers... He took off his underwear.Now the emperor is naked, he has a very handsome figure
