The building Olvera was looking for was located on the east side of Rhett Street, near the Hundred Years War Memorial. It was a two-story house with a classical and elegant shape, and the exterior walls were painted in eye-catching blue and white.
There is a green mailbox in front of the door, and the porch is decorated with two blue, white, and green flags on the left and right. The flag on the left is printed with the royal emblem, the Queen's side profile and the symbol of a red dragon holding a sword.
, the colorful flag on the right is printed with a crossroads pattern and a simple one penny black stamp logo. Walk a little further and you will see the house number saying: 32 Rhett Street, Renwetting Royal Post Office Seven Stars
Division division.
Sister Livia asked curiously: "Miss Olivia, do you want to send a letter?"
The princess nodded her head vigorously, but then shook her head vigorously: "No, I'm not going to send a letter, I want to submit a manuscript!"
"Submission?"
Sister Livia looked at the girl in front of her in surprise. After a while, the surprise turned into a kind of respect, just like a person who knows nothing about the literary world would be in awe when hearing the name of Shakespeare or Dickens for the first time:
"I didn't expect Miss Olivia to be a writer. I'm really rude. If you have the chance, please let me read your masterpiece."
"this--"
Her serious attitude made Olvera a little shy. She avoided her gaze and explained in a low voice: "I, I'm not a writer yet, this is just the first work I want to submit.
Moreover, it is not a masterpiece, just a fairy tale for children..."
"That's it, but you can complete the creation independently and have the courage to publish it. This alone, your perseverance and perseverance have surpassed 99% of people. Besides, who said that fairy tales can only be
It’s for children, please don’t belittle yourself, Miss Olvera, do you know who is the most popular writer in Renwithin right now?”
Sister Livia said seriously: "It is neither Charles Dickens, the great writer who is famous for his realist style, nor Mr. Conan Doyle who wrote the best-selling mystery novel "Sherlock Holmes", but it is precisely that
Mr. Andersen, the fairy tale writer who focuses on depicting dreams for children. It is said that his "Andersen's Fairy Tales" sold more than two million copies within only half a month after its publication.
All the children have read his books, isn’t this a great achievement?”
"Yes, yes!" Olvera's eyes lit up: "I have also read "Andersen's Fairy Tales" written by him. It is indeed wonderful. My favorite chapter is "Cinderella", which can only be achieved at midnight.
The princess Cinderella won the love of the prince by virtue of her purity and kindness. This part is so well written!"
"I prefer the story of "Snow White"." Medien on the side also expressed her thoughts, with a look of longing on her face: "It would be great if there was a girl as beautiful and noble as Snow White in reality."
"
"It seems that Meridian and I have exactly the same aesthetics." The little goblin Seamy sitting above her said proudly, and at the same time pointed out in a serious manner: "Maybe the seven dwarfs who helped Snow White are actually seven goblins.
Maybe, our fairies have always been regarded as a symbol of truth, goodness and beauty, so it is very reasonable for us to appear in fairy tales."
Rorona, who was always looking around to see if there were any alchemy materials she needed in the street shops, turned around after hearing their conversation, and said with a smile: "As for me, I rather like the article "
As for "The Daughter of the Sea", maybe it's because the ending is sad? Don't people often say that tragedies are more likely to touch people's hearts and arouse emotional resonance?"
"I don't like "The Daughter of the Sea"."
Leticia folded her arms and snorted: "That prince is so hateful. The mermaid princess didn't teach him a lesson. It's not a good story!"
Everyone: "..."
She is still so extreme - no, she has become a lot gentler, at least it is just a lesson. If it were before, she would definitely be yelling about why the mermaid princess didn't kill the prince, right?
After a round of communication, Olvera was surprised to find that everyone had read the fairy tales written by Andersen. So, as Sister Livia said, even if it is a childish fairy tale, as long as it is well written, it will be the same.
Can it be welcomed by people?
The princess quietly hugged the small package in her arms tightly. It was clearly only the weight of a few books, but it became so heavy at this moment, as if it contained a small dream of hers. She had loved reading since she was a child. Under the loving eyes of her father,
, under the gentle gaze of my mother and the loving gaze of my teacher, I grew up day by day, and gradually understood the sadness and suffering in the world that I had never experienced before.
It was also at a certain moment when she left the castle in the Thorson Mountains and regained her new life that a young man asked her, "You have read so many books, but you always quote others. Have you ever thought about writing one yourself?"
"Reading a book?", a small throbbing that accompanies shame, anger and complaint.
She never thought that she would embark on this path, but she still embarked on this path with the help of many people: her father who allowed her to cultivate her hobbies since she was a child, her mother who encouraged all her actions, and her true love.
In a sense, the teacher who gave her guidance, this incredible journey that provided her with inspiration, the various companions or enemies she encountered during the journey... Of course, the least important thing is the person who planted this seed for her.
A young man.
Therefore, it is time for the seeds to germinate and bloom until they bear fruit. Just like the violet seeds the teacher left for me, they will surely sprout and bloom as long as they are planted. Although this seed has been buried for a long time,
But... who says that seeds planted long ago can't bloom?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Olvera took a deep breath, and then said seriously to her companions: "I am going to submit a manuscript!"
Everyone was encouraging her, whether it was Medien clenching her little fists to cheer her up, or Xiemi's thumbs up, or the approving smile on Rorona's face, it was all filled with their most sincere words.
Emotions. Even Little Bat, who is least good at encouraging others, said to her, "I want to read your book after it is published." Although the tone was a bit stiff, the concern in it was not false. This moved the princess greatly, and at the same time
I finally plucked up the courage and took the first step towards my dream firmly towards the post office door...
"Uh, please wait!"
Sister Livia's voice broke the inexplicably touching atmosphere. When Olvera turned her head blankly and others cast doubtful glances, she said hesitantly: "Although I know that I am saying such things at this time.
It’s not very appropriate, but I noticed that there doesn’t seem to be a stamp on your envelope, Olvera. Let me ask you, don’t you know... that you need to affix a stamp to send a letter?”
"Ehhh!!?"
"Ah, ah! Don't look at me like that. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you forget to put the stamp on it. There is a counter selling stamps in the post office. They are very cheap. You can buy the cheapest stamp for just one penny. Wait,
Let me ask you again, don’t you think you don’t even have a penny?”
"Woooo!!!"
"I, I, I know, I'll buy stamps for you! Can I send the letter for you? Yes, by the way, which publishing house do you want to send it to? There are many well-known publishing houses in Lunweiting, like the North
The Order Publishing House, the Royal Educational Press, and the London Geography Press can all submit articles. However, I don’t recommend that you submit to the Northern Order Publishing House. After all, it is an industry jointly owned by the Order... eh
, what do you seem to want to say, Miss Olvera?"
After an awkward silence, Sister Livia asked tentatively: "Vote to Northern Order Publishing House?"
Olvera looked away sheepishly, and at the same time, nodded wordlessly.
The nun who said a lot but seemed to have no effect at all: "..."
