Chapter 172 The Book of Beasts (2)
Led by Grandpa Clock, all the living objects in the restaurant made a sound together.
"Your Highness, please have a meal——"
However, this His Highness can no longer be regarded as a normal human being in a sense. On top of his straight and broad shoulders is a beast's face covered with pure black scales. He has scarlet eyes and two sharp curved blond hairs.
The horns are extremely eye-catching.
This is a cursed prince, a beast that may lose its mind at any time.
Velosil sat down silently. His appetite increased after he turned into a beast, and the food on the table was only his normal appetite.
Because of his transformation into a beast, his palms were also covered with black scales and his nails were sharp, so he could not use a knife and fork in a normal posture. Despite this, he still insisted on holding the fork with his hand and eating slowly.
At the end of the meal, Velosier paused as he looked at the burnt steak on the edge of the plate.
"Who did it?"
His voice was hoarse, as if there was gravel in his throat, and every time he spoke he had to endure the sharp pain of a knife piercing his throat. This was also one of the contents of the curse. The witch who cursed him wanted to make him lose his human appearance and lose his
The ability to speak becomes a beast in every aspect.
The girls around him looked horrified, and Zhao Yutang had to step out, "I did it."
She stared at the ground, seemingly docile, but her voice was steady and her back was straight.
Velosil paid little attention to the witches living in the corners of the castle. He hated all witches, and he hated them so much that he was unwilling to kill them with his own hands.
He glanced at Zhao Yutang, hooked his fingertips, and the steak flew out with a "snap" and fell to the ground, with brown meat juice splashing on Zhao Yutang's face.
Velosil's tone was cold and he commented harshly, "Are you witches so incompetent?"
He lowered his eyes in disgust, "Since you can't cook, I'll leave the cleaning work to you alone."
No one in the castle dared to disobey Velosil's orders. Although Anaya was worried that Zhao Yutang would not be able to complete such a heavy cleaning job, she did not dare to help and only brought her some leftovers from cooking.
Zhao Yutang first put away the tableware in the kitchen and cleaned it. Fina loves to be clean, so she insists on cleaning it alone and wipes off the water droplets with a dry and white handkerchief.
"I've warned you, His Highness doesn't like ugly and incomplete things, and the same goes for food. You have to practice your cooking skills."
Fina lay on the soft tablecloth, enjoying the compliments of the knife and fork duo.
Zhao Yutang didn't look back and said amidst the sound of water flowing, "I think my cooking skills are quite good."
At least someone has eaten it for so many years without uttering a word.
She thought of Velosier's terrifying face and thought thoughtfully, "Why is he cursed?"
Fina was a chatterbox. She listened quietly for two seconds to make sure there was no possibility of ears through the wall, and then she whispered, "His Royal Highness Velosil is the best and most handsome prince in our country. He has grown up."
On that day when the whole country was celebrating, a powerful witch proposed to His Highness but was rejected, so she made a curse at the cost of her life, turning His Highness into a beast."
She clicked her tongue and sighed, "A woman's desire for revenge is really terrifying."
Zhao Yutang put Fina and other tableware back into the cabinet and went to clean the restaurant again.
The castle was all covered with ivory jade floors, which had to be taken care of very carefully. Zhao Yutang knelt on the ground and scrubbed it over and over again, her black pointed hood sliding down, revealing her fair and soft side face.
Mr. Dining Table is a very gentlemanly middle-aged man. He thoughtfully raised the table legs to make it easier for Zhao Yutang to clean under the table.
"Oh, beautiful Miss Witch, your long black hair is so rare."
Zhao Yutang straightened the corners of the tablecloth and said, "My father is from the East."
Mr. Dinner sighed, "The East is an ancient country. Miss Witch, don't be angry with His Highness. He has always had such a bad temper and has never known how to show mercy to others."
Zhao Yutang wanted to find out more about the curse, so she started chatting with it, "Why did that witch curse you all?"
Mr. Table sighed again, "Because we are the closest people to His Highness and have almost grown up with him. That vicious witch wants to make His Highness suffer."
In fact, she succeeded, and Velosil turned from a dazzling prince into a beast, and could only hide in this castle.
It was already early in the morning after everything had been cleaned, and the sky was as dark as a thick cloud of ink. Zhao Yutang returned to the kitchen, wiped away the water stains on the sink, and prepared to close the door and leave.
"Bang!"
There was a sound of falling, and Zhao Yutang turned around suddenly, faced a pair of scarlet vertical pupils in the darkness, and immediately held his breath.
It's Velosil, Velosil who has completely turned into a beast.
Different from the one seen during the day, this black snake has obviously shrunk a lot, otherwise it would not be able to enter the kitchen.
It seemed to be looking for something. The snake's body moved silently on the floor, and occasionally hissed out the snake's message. The whole room was filled with an eerie coldness due to its arrival.
Zhao Yutang stood motionless. Although Velosil was not as crazy as she was during the day, she was not sure of escaping from the giant snake's attack, so it was safer to keep a distance.
But the giant snake still found her. It didn't seem to find what it wanted, so it swung its tail and moved to Zhao Yutang, raised its head and looked at her.
Its vertical pupils are very dangerous. When you get closer, the edges of each black scale are slightly reflective, and they can open and close with breathing. Zhao Yutang has no doubt that once it attacks, she can be easily torn into pieces.
fragments.
The person and the snake looked at each other for a few seconds. The black snake slowly lowered its head. There were a few times when the snake letter it revealed almost touched Zhao Yutang's skin, causing her hair to stand on end. The muscles on her shoulder blades were tense, ready to escape at any time.
preparation.
However, the black snake just hit her arm with its huge, cold head. Although the arm was immediately numb from the impact, it was obviously not attacking.
Zhao Yutang was slightly startled, but what came to his mind at this moment was the hoarse and sarcastic voice of the humanoid Velosil.
A little strange.
The black snake didn't know why she was so stunned. Seeing that Zhao Yutang was not moving, it lost its patience, lowered its head, bit her sleeve, and pulled her out.
With a "stab" sound, Zhao Yutang's black dress tore from her shoulders and hung in tatters on her body. Half of her shoulders were exposed.
"..."
The black snake still didn't understand what happened, but it only knew that the cloth in its mouth was suddenly useless. It lowered its head and grabbed Zhao Yutang's arm again. This time, if it touched, it would have actually bitten the flesh.
Zhao Yutang quickly stopped him, "Wait a minute!"
In desperation, she touched the black snake's head. It was not angry at all, but only raised its head twice, causing the snake to vomit even more happily.
