Chapter 15 Time to Run
Hundreds of flowers, in the Roman Palace.
Far away, a middle-aged man with a Chinese face and a little heroic paced. The maids standing on both sides of the corridor bowed their heads and saluted one after another. The middle-aged man stopped in front of a door inlaid with gold and silver on the edge of a door frame.
"Is the princess in there?" The voice is thick and majestic.
"Your Majesty, the princess has fallen asleep. Do you want me to wake her up?"
The maid next to her answered respectfully, secretly looking at King Roman, who was still handsome even though he was middle-aged, and his heart was beating like a deer.
"No." The king shook his hand, stood quietly in front of the door for a while, sighed, and turned away lonely.
After a closed window in the attic next to him, two pairs of bright eyes were staring at the king's fading back.
"Princess, won't your majesty come in?"
"No need..." The voice is like a lark, but there is a trace of inexplicable sadness.
"Princess, do you hate him?"
"Jessica! If you talk nonsense again, I will ignore you." The curved willow eyebrows frowned slightly, like a cloud of autumn water's eyes, but showed a faint helplessness: "I'm the princess of the Kingdom of Romance. This is my responsibility, father... He is also very reluctant."
"But... Does Your Highness really like this?" Jessica, the maid, opened her innocent eyes and said, "Those people are obviously coming for the wealth of the Roman Kingdom. Your Highness the beautiful princess, do they know how to cherish it?"
"What do you mean by cherishing at a young age?" Jessica's eyes were pure, and the princess couldn't help shaking her head and laughing. "Don't worry, Jessica, even if I go to those strange places, I will definitely find a good home for you first. By the way, Jessica, what kind of man do you want?"
"What a man! Her Royal Highness will laugh at people, hum!" Jessica complained angrily, with a delicate and lovely face. Her big eyes turned and said mysteriously, "Your Highness, I heard a sister say that something extremely sensational happened in Melo City last night."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Seeing Jessica's mysterious face, the princess couldn't help but be a little curious.
"She happened to go to Melo City to do something yesterday. She happened to pass Melo Square and saw a guy who claimed to be a magician performing a magical magic show in the square!"
"Magic show? What is that? I haven't heard of it."
Jessica frowned and thought for a while, and finally shook her head: "I'm not very clear. Maybe, maybe... Oh, anyway, I heard from that sister that it was fun! What light, flowers and so on, well, that's probably what it looks like.
Jessica didn't speak clearly. The princess was a little funny when she heard it, and the corners of her lips were raised to both sides, revealing a beautiful arc.
"I don't know what the magician is performing." Jessica spit out her tongue and said, "Anyway, I heard from that sister that it's fun and interesting, but the magician is now given another nickname. Does the princess know what it is?"
The princess frowned and guessed a few times without guessing. Seeing that Jessica was still unremitable, she scratched her with a smile. Jessica trembled with a smile and begged for mercy, "Okay, cluck, I said it's okay, cack..."
"Okay, say it quickly." The princess stopped tickling, and Jessica gasped and breathed smoothly. Then her face was full of a smile and said, "The sister told me, now, those people in Melo City call him a magical love magician. As long as there is his spell, as long as there are two people who really love each other, they will live happily together forever!"
"Love Magician?" The princess's beautiful eyes were full of confusion, but she heard Jessica continue to chir and say, "Yes! I didn't believe it, but my sister said that she saw it with her own eyes. A young man didn't dare to confess because he liked a beautiful girl. Finally, under the magic blessing of the magician's spell, the young man and the beautiful girl were heartbroest, and then hugged happily in front of everyone!"
Jessica said, holding her hands and closing her eyes to show a happy expression, but the princess opened her eyes wide and exclaimed in disbelief, "How can they hold each other in public? They are so bold!"
"So, that's all thanks to the magic spell of the love magician!" Jessica opened her eyes and stretched out her index finger with a mysterious look on her face.
"Is there really such a magical spell in the world?" The princess's autumn water-like eyes flashed with a blurred brilliance, and she sighed quietly. Looking at the direction of the king's departure, the flowing eyes gradually became silent.
While Jessica was discussing with the princess about the magic spell of the love magician, King Anite was walking out of the side hall where the princess was.
"Your Majesty..." Outside the hall, the close minister Paddock was waiting. Seeing the king's look, he hesitated slightly and said, "Princess Natalie still doesn't want to see your majesty?"
King Annit shook his head and sighed, "She is less than eighteen years old. All this is still too heavy for her."
"In four days, she will be 18 years old, and Her Royal Highness has grown up." Paddock corrected King Anite's statement: "Your Highness must also know your majesty's helplessness. For the sake of the Roman Kingdom, she will understand."
"I hope so..." The king sighed, "This is her eighteenth birthday. I don't want her to have any regrets. This birthday dinner must be grand. As long as she likes it, she must do it as much as possible."
"Yes, I have tried my best to do it. It must satisfy Her Royal Highness the princess this time.
"That's all I can do for her. Emily, if you are still alive, maybe you will blame me..." King Annet looked up at the vast sea of stars in the sky. Under the twinkling starlight, he seemed to see the queen who had already died of illness again, showing a brilliant face to him.

Chandler has been a little annoyed recently. The preparation of the Princess's 18th birthday party has entered the final preparatory stage, but now, he is still having a headache and can't find a sensational program.
"In addition to those drowsy sounds that make people listen to, those dances that have no new ideas for a long time, and of course, those little tricks that can't get on the stage! You idiots! Can't you find me a good program that can shock everyone!"
Chandler roared at the clerks below. He had reason to be angry. In fact, this princess's eighteenth birthday party was a good opportunity for him. As long as this dinner was held, his promotion would be just around the corner.
He knows how much His Majesty attaches great importance to this dinner. This is an opportunity to show his face. For Chandler, who has not been valued for many years, such an opportunity is precious. If it is just some ordinary things, it is naturally impossible to impress His Majesty, let alone make Her Royal Highness dissatisfied. By the way, not to mention the promotion, it is likely that you will completely sink down!
No! Never let those terrible things happen!
Chandler gritted his teeth tightly, turned his eyes to the trembling clerks, and shouted, "Go find it quickly! I don't care if there are still a few days left! What I want is a performance that can brighten and deeply shock everyone's eyes! Did you hear that?"
Looking at the clerks going in panic, Chandler covered his jumping temples and muttered, "It's really a group of wastes. After half a year of preparation, it's all this kind of performance that makes people feel unspirited. Forget it, let's go to his bullshit promotion. It seems that I'd better go to the princess's place. The worst thing is to make the princess satisfied..."
Chandler rushed to the palace in a carriage with a tangled mood.
In the palace, Chandler was not qualified to swagger into the carriage. He got out of the carriage as usual and was allowed to enter the palace after being checked and confirmed by the palace bodyguards.
Princess Natalie lives in the side hall, and it takes half an hour to walk from the entrance of the palace to the side hall.
Chandler walked on the road under the guidance of the bodyguard. He has walked this road countless times recently. Even without the guidance of the bodyguard, he can easily find a place. But he didn't dare to let the bodyguard leave. Even if he was a minister of the Roman Kingdom, there would still be a lot of trouble if he broke into the palace alone.
Chandler was walking on the road with the bodyguard with a smile on his face. Suddenly, a white carriage came in front of him. Chandler and the bodyguard quickly leaned against the roadside, watching the carriage drive in front of him with a polite smile on his face.
The carriage passed slowly, and Chandler was about to move forward with the bodyguard, but the carriage suddenly stopped slowly, and a silver bell-like cheerful cry came to the carriage: "Stop! Well, I'm so lucky, Chandler. I was about to find you, but you came by yourself.
Chandler was still a little confused. He didn't know who was calling him, but when he saw the smiling little girl poking out of the carriage, Chandler's face hurriedly smiled brightly. Although he was still a little strange why Jessica, the maid of Her Royal Highness, called herself, she glanced at the awe of the bodyguard beside him. Chandler couldn't help but feel excited.
"Let's get into the carriage. Your Highness has something to do with you." Jessica waved to Chandler without a second time. Chandler thanked the bodyguard beside him and hurriedly ran to the carriage.
When Chandler carefully sat half of his buttocks on the cushion of the carriage and smelled the fragrance of the carriage. When he could see the bright and pure smile of the little girl Jessica, Chandler's heart suddenly jumped wildly, and a trace of enlightenment suddenly appeared in his heart. "Maybe this time, I will really work from time to time?"
