By the Swan Lake, a little girl was walking in a somewhat disappointed manner. She lowered her head and looked a little unhappy. From time to time, she picked up a small stone from the shore and threw it into the calm lake, causing ripples.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the bushes by the lake. The little girl's expression became condensed and she looked at the location of the bushes with some vigilance.
Although the Royal Hunting Ground is actually a military camp of the Royal Knights, the word Hunting Ground is not just a word. There are still many ordinary beasts in it. As a pampered princess, she does not think that she has the ability to kill a beast on her own.
.
"Hey! I suddenly want to drink afternoon tea again. I wonder if I can regret what I just said?"
Just when she was secretly nervous, a handsome young man walked out of the bushes and greeted her with a smile on his face.
The little princess opened her mouth and stuttered: "You... you are not..."
Suddenly she saw the maid Gu Li who was walking out behind Zhao Xuan. She closed her slightly opened mouth in surprise and stamped her feet in embarrassment as if she knew something: "Gu Li, you are nosy again.
!”
The maid Gu Li smiled slightly and said nothing more.
Zhao Xuan looked at the youngest princess in the empire with great interest and said, "I wonder if the princess would like me to enjoy afternoon tea with you again?"
The little princess made a cute snort, turned her head, and then heard that childish voice: "Since you said so, let's come together."
The moment the little guy turned her head, Zhao Xuan noticed the smile on the corner of her mouth.
After the little princess turned around, Zhao Xuan nodded to the maid Gu Li, who made a gesture of gratitude.
Walking along the lake, Zhao Xuan soon discovered the destination of their trip, Swan Castle.
A historic and beautiful white castle, as its name suggests, beautiful and noble.
The maid Gu Li gave a general introduction to the Swan Castle. The Swan Castle has a history of more than a thousand years and is the original castle of the Tiandou royal family. The reason why it is called this name is because the inherited martial spirit of the Tiandou royal family is the Swan.
This castle has witnessed the development of the Tiandou royal family from a small lord to the master of the empire, and is of great significance to the Tiandou royal family.
Swan Castle stands on a small island in the center of the lake. Since the island is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, only one side can be climbed up. Therefore, if you want to enter Swan Castle, you must build it from the side of the island closest to the land.
The road passes.
"By the way, what's your name? Let's get to know each other first. My name is Xue Qingqing, and I am the youngest princess in the empire."
The little girl bouncing in front suddenly turned back and said to Zhao Xuan, who seemed to be deep in thought.
"Uh... just call me Zhao Xuan, princess." Zhao Xuan came back to his senses with a smile on his face.
"Well, Zhao Xuan?" Xue Qingqing turned her head and muttered with her head lowered, as if there was some secret in these two ordinary names, thinking about it carefully.
Zhao Xuan looked at Xue Qingqing's back with a faintly strange look in his eyes.
From what Gu Li said, Xue Qingqing is the youngest of the younger generation in the empire, but she is still eight years old. She has a good talent. When she was six years old, her martial soul awakened and she had nine-level innate soul power. She is the most talented person in this generation of the Tiandou royal family.
There is a gifted existence.
But this princess has suffered from a strange disease since she was a child, that is, she cannot be too emotional, otherwise she will fall into a coma, causing a series of pathological changes. The most important one is that in a coma, her various body functions will be affected.
decline.
The princess was so excited once that she almost never woke up again.
Therefore, for the safety of the princess, the prince Xue Qinghe sent the princess to Swan Castle for rest. This also led to another problem, that is, the princess had never seen anyone since she was six years old except for the royal family who came to visit her.
anyone other than a human being.
This is also the reason why she wanted to invite him to have afternoon tea after seeing Zhao Xuan, a stranger.
However, Zhao Xuan noticed something unusual from this princess.
Not to mention this strange illness, the little princess's soul power is also very obscure. Logically speaking, because of her innate ninth-level soul power, even if she does not practice, it will naturally increase to ten in two years.
class.
Out of curiosity, through constant exploration, Zhao Xuan found that her body seemed to have a tight shackles, locking up these soul powers.
If it weren't for Zhao Xuan's outstanding spiritual consciousness, even he would have been almost fooled by the vague shackles. This was definitely not a bottleneck. How could the nine-level innate soul power break through to the tenth level?
When does a bottleneck occur?
"So, this princess's strange disease is worth pondering." A smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Zhao Xuan's mouth, and then he quickly hid it.
There are not many people in the Swan Castle, only a dozen maids and male servants. They are all soul masters trained by the royal family since childhood to protect the safety of the little princess, and Gu Li is her personal head maid.
There is a wide grandstand on the castle from which you can overlook the entire Swan Lake, and the location for afternoon tea is arranged here.
On the white round small dining table, attractively colored honey cakes and richly fragrant milk tea were placed on it. As a little girl, the princess seemed to like eating these extremely sweet sweets, and even gave them to Zhao Xuan.
These are also the preparations.
Looking at the desserts on the table, Zhao Xuan shook his head in annoyance. For himself, he prefers to eat fruits, and he really can't cope with these desserts.
But looking at the little girl's eager eyes, Zhao Xuan had no choice but to try it, and then said "it's good" under the little girl's expectant eyes.
"Really? That's great." The little girl's eyes narrowed into a small crescent moon.
Looking at the smiling little princess, Gu Li also smiled sincerely. It was great that the princess could be happy.
The little princess was born into the royal family and lived in the Swan Castle after she was six years old. She was very curious about the outside world and kept asking Zhao Xuan about the outside world. Many things that seemed sparse and ordinary to Zhao Xuan were not found in the little princess.
Here are things you can only see in books.
Looking at the little princess with a look of longing on her face, Zhao Xuan sighed secretly, with a bit of pity in his eyes.
"It would be nice if I could go and see the outside world." Xue Qingqing looked at the sky with hope.
Gu Li, who was standing by, had an unbearable look in her eyes, but she still lowered her head and said, "For the sake of the princess's safety, please make sure not to think about these things."
"I know, I know." Xue Qingqing muttered. She naturally knew that Gu Li was right. The time she almost fell into a death coma was still fresh in her memory.
At this time, Zhao Xuan's expression changed and he suddenly said: "Your Royal Highness, I have a friend who is proficient in medical skills. How about I ask him to come and show you?"
