In the castle, Grand Duke Loria carefully looked at the gold ring presented by Tom and made a judgment.
He glanced at Tom with surprise and joy, and then said with a smile, "Young stranger, no matter what method you used to find this ring, you have to say that you passed Alyssa's test!"
Tom was already grinning from ear to ear with joy!
And the beautiful Princess Elisa was sitting next to the king, her face as calm as the sea.
"Stranger, tell me, your name? I can't marry my daughter to an unknown person! And where are you from?"
"Dear Grand Duke Loria, my name is Tom! I am from the Kingdom of Bucharest." Tom replied.
"The Kingdom of Bucharest? That is a long-standing country! I have also heard of King Croso's reputation for wisdom!" Grand Duke Loria sighed in a complicated tone, "Okay, Tom, which family of the Kingdom of Bucharest are you a descendant of?
"
"Family?" Tom hesitated for a moment, looked at Grand Duke Loria and Princess Alyssa, who was looking over with beautiful eyes, and decided to tell the truth, "Dear Grand Duke Loria, I am not a descendant of which family?
I was an orphan, my parents left me very early... Later I became the bodyguard of the King of Bucharest..."
"Guard? Are you just a guard? A servant?" Grand Duke Loria's voice rose a few degrees. He had imagined that Tom's status was not high, but at least he was the son of a businessman, but he did not expect that he was a servant.
Grand Duke Loria couldn't accept it.
However, Tom actually found Princess Elisa's gold ring and completed the test.
After so many people saw this scene, they couldn't refuse even if they wanted to!
Grand Duke Loria smiled bitterly in his heart and said, "Okay, I declare, Tom, you are my daughter, the pearl of the Principality of Loria, the flying swallow on the sea, the husband of Princess Elisa..."
Tom was excitedly waiting for Grand Duke Loria to finish speaking, but unexpectedly Princess Elisa took the initiative to interrupt at this time.
"Wait, father! I have something to say!"
"What's wrong, Aisha? Don't you want to? He passed your test!" Grand Duke Loria frowned slightly, looking at his precious daughter half helplessly and half dotingly.
Tom's happiness disappeared, his face tightened, and he nervously looked at Princess Alyssa who stood up.
Princess Alyssa didn't even look at him, her eyes were indifferent, she looked at her father, Grand Duke Loria, and said.
"Of course not, my dear father! I just have a little doubt about the results of this test."
"Doubtful?" Grand Duke Loria said doubtfully.
"Yes, my dear Grand Duke Loria! I suspect that he did not get this gold ring by himself!" Princess Elisa said.
"Your Highness, this gold ring is entirely my fault. It's me..." Tom quickly defended himself.
"But I heard that there was another person at the beach at that time!" Princess Elisa replied expressionlessly.
She is also beautiful when she is indifferent. This year suddenly flashed in Tom's mind, and he continued to explain.
"Your Highness the Princess, Your Highness the Grand Duke, that is one of my... a friend! Yes, a friend! He didn't help me at that time, he was just encouraging me! It's just, that's it! If you don't believe it, you can
Go ask him!"
"Who knows?" Princess Elisa said coldly.
Tom showed a bitter smile and said helplessly, "Beautiful Princess Alyssa, the moon in my heart, how can I prove myself to you?"
"Prove?" Princess Alyssa rolled her eyes, "Yes, you really want to prove it again! Come with me."
"Elsa, what are you going to do?" Grand Duke Loria asked hurriedly, not knowing what this wayward daughter was going to do.
"It's okay, father, it's just a small test. If he really has a way to fish my ring out of the sea, then he can do it easily. Don't you think so, Tom?"
The last sentence was said by Princess Alyssa to Tom with a sweet smile.
Tom was fascinated all of a sudden. He nodded and said yes to whatever Princess Alyssa said, completely confused.
The king had no choice but to let them go.

…
Tom returned to the hotel in tears.
Without raising his head, William ate the Morilla grilled fish in his hand and asked, "Did the princess give you a new test again?"
"Yes!" Tom nodded and immediately realized how William knew this news.
"Lord Zorro, how do you know?" Tom asked eagerly.
"Your whole body exudes the sour smell of the problem I encountered. I smelled it before you entered this room." William said angrily. He actually knew it from the magic mirror.
Tom's situation.
After all, he has to monitor Tom all the time, so that Tom knows this fact as soon as he gets the golden apple.
When William said this, Tom showed a look of shame on his face, and he said, "I'm sorry, Lord Zorro."
"You're not sorry for me! Tell me, what happened again?" William sighed softly, put down the grilled fish that he had eaten cleanly in his hands, wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth, and said.
A smile uglier than crying appeared on Tom's face, and he said, "Princess Alyssa doesn't believe that I passed the test with my own ability! She will test me again!"
"Hey! What is it this time?" William said.
"Princess Elisa spread ten bags of rice in the garden. She asked me to pick up all the rice before the sun comes up tomorrow morning, otherwise, she will hang me!"
"No one can do this!" Tom said with despair, "Lord Zorro, I'm here to say goodbye to you! Thank you for saving my life and for always encouraging me! I'm sorry,
I’m afraid I won’t have the chance to repay you in the future!”
"Who said that, Tom? You are the one who wants to repay me in the future. How could you die here?" William sneered disdainfully and said pointedly.
"Lord Zorro, is there any way you can help me?" Tom suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at William.
In fact, he came here with the intention of asking William for help.
Although they have been together for so long, Tom still doesn't understand William. William has always been a mysterious and capable person in Tom's heart.
"I have no way!" William shook his head and said.
Tom's heart suddenly fell into the abyss.
To pick up the ten bags of rice scattered around the garden before tomorrow, only God can do it.
Tom decided that he couldn't do it, and he could only welcome the arrival of sunshine and death.
At this time, William suddenly said, "But you have a way, Tom!"
"What can I do?" Tom pointed to his nose in surprise, and then smiled bitterly, "Lord Zorro, what can I do? Stop teasing me!"
"I didn't lie to you! Tom, you have a way!" William said seriously.
Seeing that William didn't look like he was joking, Tom also became serious, looking at William with a hopeful look in his eyes.
"Tom, good intentions are rewarded! Come with me." William stood up and walked out the door.
Tom felt strange, but he quickly followed.
Turning left and right, William took Tom around the city, and finally came to a wild place.
"Lord Zoro, why did you bring me here?"
There was no one around, so Tom asked William in confusion.
"Listen carefully... look, look carefully! Tom, what do you see?" William made a slip of the tongue and almost said the wrong thing.
Tom did not doubt that it was there. He followed William's instructions and looked around.
At this moment, a sound came into his ears.
"Good-hearted human beings, kind-hearted human beings, here I am."
Tom's face changed. The voice was somewhat familiar. He walked looking for the voice and saw a black line of ants under the grass somewhere!
The sound came from the ant colony.
It was a group of ants that Tom saved back then!
It was the ant king who spoke.
"Lord Zorro, why are they here?" Tom looked at William in shock.
"I have to ask you now!" William said, but he was sighing in his heart.
That bite from the ant king was actually a recognition of the master!
In other words, Tom signed a contract with the ant king, and the ant king became Tom's magic pet!
Tom indirectly controls the ant colony!
William didn't know whether to say this was bullshit luck? Or was it just stupid luck that led to stupid people, and good intentions were rewarded?
Although a single ant is very weak and can be ignored, if there are too many ants, it can kill an elephant.
This is also a force that cannot be ignored.
The Tom before had always been ignorant, and the ant king's mental fluctuations were not great. Even though Tom had a magic pet, he didn't know it, so he hurriedly set off on his way.
As a result, the ant king, following a mysterious feeling, came over day and night with a bunch of horses, and he suffered so much!
