The strongest prince in the fairy tale world

Chapter 22 Almost

Ize didn't know what to do for a while, since he was discovered, it would not be good to keep hiding, and it would be embarrassing to just walk out like this.

After struggling for a few seconds, Ize slowly pushed open the door of the cabinet, his neck and ears were red, he turned his head aside and dared not look at Catherine again.

"Your name is Izzy, right?" Catherine asked with a smile of interest. The water in front of her was covered with all kinds of petals, so you don't have to worry about losing them all.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'm really sorry, I shouldn't be hiding in your room..." Ize knelt on one knee, wanting to ask Catherine for forgiveness.

"I understand. After all, at your age, it's hard to resist the temptation of beauty." Catherine was still very confident about her appearance, but she misunderstood that Ize was here because she wanted to peek at her.

As soon as Ize heard that Catherine had misunderstood, he followed her words and said:

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I promise I won't dare in the future, I offended you today, I am willing to be punished!"

Catherine smiled. She was actually a little happy to be secretly liked by a handsome young man.

"Are you really willing to be punished?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'm ashamed of my actions, just punish me." Ize knew that facing the Nine-Star Wizard, before angering her, it was the best policy to admit his mistakes quickly.

"Well, let me think about it." Catherine applied the plant essential oil on the skin of her arm. She suddenly smiled badly and said, "I was seen by you just now. To be fair, you should also show it to me."

"Ah?" Ize looked at Catherine in astonishment. According to the situation, would Catherine ask him to take a bath together, and then...

"What are you still doing in a daze? This is punishment." Catherine's face was covered with water droplets, crystal clear and moving.

Yize gritted his teeth, thinking that if he fought hard, he would not suffer anyway.He slowly took off his coat and undid his belt.

Catherine felt that the picture was very emotional, and she was admiring it intently.

Just after loosening the belt, a female attendant's voice suddenly came from the door:
"Your Majesty, I have something urgent to tell you."

Catherine was a little displeased, and said in a very bad tone: "Say it!"

"The emperor died suddenly of illness just now, and now he has notified several important ministers, and we have to discuss the matter of succession today." The female entourage said hastily.

Izzy: ...

He put his hands on his belt and stopped what he had just done.

Catherine's expression was a bit complicated. Although she and Norman I had no relationship, they were using each other. She wanted power, and he wanted longevity. Each got what he needed.

But after all, the two still had such a relationship for so many years. Norman I was always a mortal, and Catherine knew that most of his body's organ functions had almost collapsed, and he could no longer use witchcraft to continue his life.

Catherine glanced at Yize, and when she heard that the emperor had passed away, she suddenly lost her mood.

"You turn around."

"Ok."

Ize turned her back obediently, and Catherine immediately changed her clothes, preparing to go to the emperor's bedroom immediately.

"Forget it this time, let's continue next time I meet you."

After Catherine finished speaking lightly, she gave Ize another ambiguous look for him to experience.

……

For a moment, Izzy didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

The sudden death of Emperor Norman I at this juncture seems a bit too coincidental.

Catherine had already dressed at some point, and Izzy couldn't see her emotions. She didn't seem particularly happy or sad.

Catherine was also in no mood at this time, the emperor had just died, and this was the critical moment to determine the successor.

"After I go out, you will come out later." Catherine said lightly.

Yi Ze understood what she meant. After all, a foreign prince came out of the queen's bedroom, let alone when the queen was taking a bath. If he was seen by others, he didn't know what rumors would spread.

"Okay." Izzy replied obediently.

After Catherine went out, Ize also went out with invisibility. He didn't steal the queen's mirror. First, Catherine had already discovered him. Second, he couldn't use this so-called magic mirror at all.

If I had known earlier, I would not have done such a high-risk thing.

Izzy returned to the garden, Little Charlie was still hiding in the garden, and the maid from just now was still in a coma.

"Thank you, Your Highness, you are finally back."

Izze nodded, pulled out the dagger from his boots, and lifted the sleeping spell of the court lady.

He pressed the back of the knife against the maid's neck, and the maid who woke up subconsciously wanted to scream, but Charlie covered her mouth.

"If you don't want to die, don't scream, understand?" Ize rarely showed his fierce side.

The palace maid nodded and shut up with tears in her eyes.

"You can answer whatever I ask, if you dare to lie to me..."

The dagger in Yize's hand exerted a little force, which frightened the maid to nod more frequently.

"I said, don't kill me!" The maid begged for mercy.

"Are you the queen's maid?"

"Yes!"

"Where did the mirror in the queen's bedroom come from, do you know?"

"My lord, that mirror was made by imperial craftsmen. The frame is all pure gold, and the gemstones on it are also brought from the south."

Yize was silent for a moment, since it was made by mortal craftsmen, it cannot be a treasure.

After thinking about it, Ize asked again:
"Do you know where Snow White is?"

"I don't know, my lord, even the queen doesn't know about Snow White's whereabouts!"

"You said the queen didn't know either?"

"Yes, a few days ago the queen turned Lord Ranger who was looking for Snow White's whereabouts into a frog. I heard it was because he failed to find Snow White."

"After the emperor dies, will your empress succeed you in the future?"

"I don't understand this. I only know that the queen has always wanted to be a queen."

Ize can be sure that the things about the magic mirror in the fairy tales are fabricated. If the Queen really has an all-knowing magic mirror, how can she not find Snow White?
It seems that this Snow White is also very smart, she even expected that she would be in danger staying in the palace, so she ran away early.

After asking all the questions I wanted to ask, Ize decided to leave.

Yi Ze gave the court lady a gold coin, and said:
"This is for you. I don't want the fourth person to know what happened today."

"Thank you, my lord!" the maid said gratefully.

"You continue to take my money. If the queen finds out that you betrayed her, you will know the consequences." Ize said coldly.

The maid nodded again and again, and Yize asked Charlie to let her go and let her go.

……

Izzy left the palace, intending to leave Rome as soon as possible.

The emperor had just died, and the situation in the entire palace was still not stable, so Ize didn't want to get involved.

It is impossible to eliminate the curse with the help of the magic mirror, and now Izzy can only pin his hope on the rumored city of Atlantis.

"Your Highness, where are we going next?" Little Charlie asked.

Ize looked at the south and said, "Go to the port of Cannon City and take a boat."

After crossing the Mediterranean Sea, you can reach the Mesore Empire, and after passing through the Mesore Empire, you will reach the Intercontinental Desert.

And the disappeared city of Atlantis was buried in the yellow sand all over the sky.
