10 - The tyrant prince falls in love with me
He is the little prince of Wagang Country, and his royal father has seven sons and three daughters.
Just like this, year after year, the six elder brothers persecuted each other, dying and wounded, while the ones that remained also broke through royal father's heart. At this moment, he had grown up to be more heroic and valiant. He had the demeanor of a ruler when dealing with matters.
However, the little prince in his early twenties already had the demeanor of an old emperor and dealt with government affairs in an orderly manner. Not only the people of the country, even his remaining brothers began to have a whole new level of respect for him.
However, the little prince's smile gradually faded.
Until one day.
That day, the prince came to eat in a small restaurant at the edge of the capital city. Hearing that the glutinous rice cake in the restaurant was special, he wanted to taste it and relaxed a little.
Here, he met the person who had changed his life.
It was a Chinese girl.
She was a top student, proficient in the four languages. Her figure was graceful, her looks delicate, and her IQ outstanding. Yet, she was a waiter in this small restaurant.
The prince was immediately enchanted by this enigmatic woman. He began to chase her crazily, and from time to time, he would avoid his father's eyes and ears, sneaking into this little restaurant just to see her once.
After a long period of contact, the woman was finally moved by the sincerity of the Prince.
They began to talk to each other.
It turned out that after graduating from her master's degree, she had worked in the bank and the media had worked in the past. When he was serving as a reporter, he came across the legendary drug lord, the godfather figure.
This drug lord who controlled the entire European drug trade was actually a middle-aged man with a cold appearance. He even had a wise and farsighted look on his face. She, who had just stepped into society, was immediately attracted by this charming 'godfather'. The two began to talk about politics, law, life …
The two of them acted as if they were close friends as they spent their days together like an immortal couple. However, in a fight between gangs, the drug lord had actually died to protect her, and she had thus shouldered the heavy burden of taking care of the drug lord's mother. Taking care of an old man was not a difficult task for her, but her relationship with the drug baron had added an indelible stain to her resume. She could no longer find any decent work, so she had to work in this little restaurant.
When the Prince heard what had happened to her, she deeply regretted it. At the same time, she was also deeply attracted by this woman who was loyal to her and would never stop being strong.
Just like that, the two of them fell in love.
This was an incomparably romantic story, the story of a tyrannical prince falling in love with a commoner Cinderella.
However, such a combination is often not accepted by the world.
In his memory, every time his grandma finished her story, her face would be brimming with happiness, but then she would sigh deeply.
Grandmother always said, "At that time, when your grandfather knew that his father would never agree for me to be his wangfei, he started a secret relationship with me and planned to elope with me."
Grandma paused. "But I have already made up my mind to leave him. How can I let him abandon the country's mountains and rivers for me?"
This was the story of the Old Master Lu and his wife. However, he had never questioned the authenticity of such a legendary story. This was because whenever his grandmother told him this story, the joy, sadness, and anger in her eyes would become true. There was no room for questioning.
The Prince and Cinderella began to interact secretly, they even had their own home, and together they picked up a dying puppy from the roadside. After reviving, they gave him a Chinese name: "99th". It was the ninety-ninth day of their meeting.
In this way, the prince stayed at Cinderella for longer and longer, until he no longer had time to manage the affairs of the kingdom. This aroused the suspicions of his royal father, and in the end, the love between the two of them was discovered.
The old king was naturally furious. He could not bear to see his most treasured son abandon his country for such a foreign woman. Thus, he went to the Cinderella, kindly advised her, coerced her to leave the Prince's side at the same time.
But she didn't expect that the Cinderella had already made the decision. She wasn't willing to be a burden to the prince.
She did not accept any of the king's gifts and disappeared from the country without a sound.
The king and the court officials were all sighing, as if they were beginning to understand why the little prince was so enchanted by this woman that he could ignore everything in the kingdom. It was a pity that her life and past were too unsuitable for her to be an imperial concubine. Otherwise, the old king would still have taken a liking to her.
Every time she said this, her brow would furrow as she kept muttering to herself, "I'm not afraid of anything, not afraid of anything. I'm just afraid of his discomfort, afraid of his discomfort."
Indeed, the little prince started to crazily search for the Cinderella. He had searched almost every corner of the country, but there was no clue. When the old king saw his madness, he began to feel a little uneasy and gradually began to say that if he could find the girl, he could let her stay in the palace, but the old king never let go of their marriage.
The Prince was overjoyed. Ignoring the opposition of the Congress, he began to issue a letter through the United Nations. This woman was "wanted" by all the countries, and even he did not know her real name. He wrote a love letter that shocked the whole world:
My dear, if you insist on leaving me far away, I will not eat, drink, disregard the government, holding the brush, wait for your return.
It was just a short number, but it revealed the passionate love in the heart of a ruler.
All of a sudden, this love letter had become a beautiful tale spread through the world, but it was not a rumour on the surface. When people sighed with emotion about such feelings, they were questioning its authenticity.
But the little prince didn't care. He was waiting in a daze, waiting until he became more and more haggard and exhausted.
The Heavens did not disappoint those who were willing. In the end, Madam Lu still heard of the letter. She did not care about it and did her best to rush to her beloved's side as quickly as possible.
When she reached the little prince, her lover was already on the verge of death.
But when he saw his lover, the little prince still forcefully held on to his weak body and lightly kissed her forehead, revealing a serene and contented smile on his face.
After three days and three nights, the little prince was finally saved after three days and three nights.
People said it was a miracle.
But he felt it was right, because he said, "You can't leave her alone."
Grandma Lu had been talking about this for many years. Every time she did, she couldn't help but smile.
These words had been hanging on Old Master Lu's lips for many years, and whenever he spoke of it, he could not help but reveal a sorrowful expression.
He always said: "Old woman, you still left me alone, left me alone."
He knew that his grandfather and grandmother loved each other so deeply, but now, they were separated by life and death. Although he could not share the same feelings, he could still deeply feel the pain, because he also missed his wise and kind grandmother.
However, he could not understand what kind of feelings could be so haunting. He could not imagine that feeling, and he felt as if he had been taught by his father since he was a child that he could not understand what love was and what it was to be someone who did not care.
Until that day when he saw Guan Youyou falling down the stairs with blood gushing out of her mouth. That moment when his heart ached, he seemed to have experienced his grandfather's feelings.
Grandmother always said, deep affection can be inherited.
He had never believed it before.
Now he believed it.
After the little prince took care of his body, he decided never to let go of his lover's hand again.
He used his authority to send a message to the entire country:
I, Wilhelm II, hereby declare to all the nations that I shall not marry, but shall not part with, the Lu family in this lifetime.
If you do not agree, you are willing to abstain from the throne.
This action alarmed the entire country.
Some people praised this love that disregarded one's family. Some people despised the prince's actions that disregarded the selfishness of the country, and there were even people who dug up the past of the Cinderella, calling it the shame of the royal family.
All of a sudden, the invectives covered up the faint sounds of praise, and the entire country, from top to bottom, came crashing down with overwhelming accusations. There were even people who spontaneously held a procession to protest against this move of the Prince's.
The brothers of the old king and young prince would never accept such a thing. They captured the Cinderella, used her life to threaten the prince to separate from her, and married the princess of the neighboring country to inherit the throne.
The prince was in despair. He reluctantly agreed to the old king's request, but in his heart, he had already made up his mind to go with his lover.
As Grandma said this, she couldn't stop sobbing, "What a pity! When the soldiers came to capture me, he went up to stop them, but he was beaten to death. I looked at the blood all over the ground, but there was nothing I could do. If I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have picked it up and brought it back. " As Grandma sobbed, the little dog obediently licked her cheek, and she stopped crying. She rubbed the little dog's head and said: "Little Jiu tzu, your great-grandfather did indeed die miserably, but he should have long been reincarnated. He should live happily in the next life."
After saying that, the grandma took the puppy into her arms, lowered her head and whispered into its ears, "Just like you, happy."
In fact, the puppy that Grandpa carried to her side was not really a descendant of Ninety-Nine. It was just a puppy that he had searched all over the country for, the one that looked like Ninety-Nine had brought this puppy to her just to comfort her and prevent her from being so sad.
Until the death of his grandmother, the offspring of this puppy still accompanied the old man at his side, obediently accompanying him.
This puppy did not have any descendants, and until now, it was an old dog. Old Master Lu always said that it would accompany him to leave this world, fast, fast … … The only person he couldn't let go of was his grandson, this cold and aloof CEO. Even now, he still hadn't met that fated person.
After seeing Guan Youyou, Old Master Lu rubbed Xiao Jiu's head, and just like what Grandma had always done, she whispered into the ears of the Dog, "Old thing, we can rest assured now, we can go and find Grandma …" Tears welled up in his eyes. Xiao Jiu dragged his old body, which was filled with sickness, and raised his head with difficulty. He licked the tears in the corner of Old Master Lu's eyes and whimpered.
"Do you miss her too? "Old thing."
After his grandma died, he would always see the scene between his grandpa and the old dog. It was so unreal, so far away, and all of a sudden, when he looked at his grandpa's emaciated body, he always felt that he was getting further and further away from himself and the scene before his eyes was getting blurrier.
Maybe Grandma had been waiting too long to summon them.
As he thought, a cold-blooded man like him couldn't help but shed tears at this moment.
He wanted them to stay by his side for a little longer …
