Chapter 89 Signing the Contract
Chapter 89 Signing the Contract
The morning sunlight streamed into the castle corridors, and Eric was already standing in front of the library, quietly waiting for Qiao Xiao's arrival.
His face showed a hint of worry and unease, and his eyes revealed his concern about the current situation.
Finally, Qiao Xiao appeared at the end of the corridor. She saw Eric's figure and slowly walked over to him.
Eric stepped forward, bowed to Qiao Xiao, and said with concern, "Your Majesty, those mobs are becoming increasingly difficult to control. We may no longer be able to maintain control of the situation."
Qiao Xiao asked in bewilderment, "Why? Don't they have their own lives to live? My becoming queen won't affect their lives, so why can't they accept it?"
Eric paused for a moment, then slowly said, "You are right, Your Majesty, but perhaps these people have not yet grasped this point."
She inadvertently remembered something, turned to Eric and asked, "Eric, did you know that Queen Amber was actually a witch?"
Eric paused for a moment, then replied, “Yes, Your Majesty, I know. When I was young, Queen Ambé took care of me, and we lived in the Enchanted Forest. I know very well that Queen Ambé is a witch.”
Qiao Xiao pondered for a moment, then asked, "So, do you know of a curse that can be cast after a person dies?"
Eric frowned and said, "While I am surprised by your ability to accept the fact that Queen Amber is a witch so quickly, I have never seen a case like the one you described before."
Qiao Xiao nodded seriously, then reminded him, "Eric, I'm in a very dangerous situation right now, and it's hard to ensure my own safety. You should also be careful."
Eric replied respectfully, "I know, Your Majesty."
Shi Bozi finished his night patrol and returned to Qiao Xiao's palace.
However, when he entered the room, he did not see Qiao Xiao.
He began to feel anxious and uneasy, filled with worry, and embarked on a journey to find Qiao Xiao.
Schertz was extremely anxious, walking around and looking around, trying to find Qiao Xiao's whereabouts.
His mood grew increasingly heavy, because he didn't know where Qiao Xiao had gone, or whether she had encountered any danger.
His mind was filled with all sorts of possible scenarios, making him increasingly tense.
However, to his surprise, when he finally found Qiao Xiao, he discovered that she had returned with Eric.
Schertz's face instantly darkened, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
He stood there, watching them approach silently, a feeling he couldn't quite describe welling up inside him.
Qiao Xiao noticed the change in Shi Bozi's expression and sighed inwardly, "Why is this guy still acting like a child?"
She shook her head helplessly, then walked towards Spitz, wanting to explain her whereabouts.
Suddenly, Qiao Xiao was startled. That's right, Shi Bozi is only thirteen years old now. If I marry him, of course the people will be angry.
Qiao Xiao stood there stunned, looked up at the tall, strong, handsome and charming man in front of her, and slowly spoke.
"Eric, you may leave now. I have something to say to the prince alone."
Eric replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Then, he bowed, turned and left, not forgetting to say goodbye to Spitz as he departed: "Your Highness, goodbye."
After Eric left, Spitz immediately hugged Qiao Xiao tightly, but this time, Qiao Xiao did not respond to him as usual, but instead raised her hands in the air.
Qiao Xiao pondered for a moment, then forcefully pushed Shi Bozi away.
Schubert stared at her in astonishment, noticing her empty arms, and exclaimed, "Fari?"
Qiao Xiao took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Sipoz, you're only thirteen years old. It seems we can't get married yet."
She covered her forehead, walked to the side, and muttered to herself, "Oh my god, how could I have forgotten about that?"
Logically speaking, neither of them is yet an adult.
Spoels looked at Qiao Xiao and said seriously, "Fari, the Kingdom of Sotoa has a law that allows both parties to sign a legally binding marriage agreement up to three years before the legal age of majority, as long as they wish to marry. In this way, the agreement will automatically take effect after three years, so it is still possible for us to be together."
Qiao Xiao looked at Shi Bozi with some suspicion, wondering if this guy was lying to her.
So she decided to look up the relevant legal provisions herself.
The two returned to their palace together, and Qiao Xiao immediately found the thick book "The Great Law of the Kingdom of Sotoya" that she had kept in her palace.
She quickly turned the pages and found the chapter on marriage law.
Unexpectedly, the law was clearly written on it, but the words were in the ancient script of the Kingdom of Sotoa. She couldn't understand some of the characters, so she frowned.
Upon seeing this, Shi Bozi immediately took Qiao Xiao's hand, gently pried open one of her little fingers, and then patiently pointed to each line of text, explaining it to her word by word.
Qiao Xiao listened quietly to Shi Bozi's explanation, and nodded to indicate that she understood.
Upon seeing this, Shi Boz felt a surge of joy.
He asked with great joy, "So, my dear Fali, when shall we have our wedding?"
At this moment, his heart was like a blooming sea of flowers, filled with happiness and anticipation, imagining their future life together.
Qiao Xiao: "I'll wait for you to clear away those obstacles for me."
Spitz: "My dear Farri, your cat, Marigold, has a problem."
Qiao Xiao: "Did it go to your darkroom?"
Spitz: "How did you know?"
Qiao Xiao: "I found a cat hair next to the magic mirror. The hair was orange."
Moreover, she suspected that the cat might have made some kind of deal with the magic mirror.
Spitz: "I've already contacted Aunt Anna, and she'll be coming to help me along with the others from the Enchanted Forest."
Qiao Xiao smiled to herself, thinking, "I need to deal with those troubles before they arrive."
She wanted to take matters into her own hands and eliminate all obstacles in one fell swoop.
Spartz took out the gem he had always treasured from his bosom, his eyes revealing pure love. "Fari, my love, thank you for this gem. It has given me so much strength."
Qiao Xiao took out the red liquid that Shi Bozi had given her, "There's only half left of the liquid here."
Spoelstra smiled and said, "I can do more for you."
Qiao Xiao: "What are you using? Your blood?"
Schertz was taken aback. He felt a little uneasy and didn't dare to open his eyes to look at Qiao Xiao's eyes. He was afraid that she was scared and didn't understand, but he couldn't help but want to know how she would react, after all, her tone of voice was so calm.
Schertz asked timidly, "Will you despise me?"
Upon hearing his words, Qiao Xiao immediately realized that her guess was correct, or rather, the records in the books stored in the library were true: the Magic Mirror required blood to be awakened.
She reached out and grabbed Spitz's wrist, discovering a series of alarming wounds on it.
Those wounds, once flowed with blood, stained the entire palm and arm red.
Qiao Xiao angrily retorted, "Are you crazy? How could you hurt yourself like that!"
Spoelstra finally dared to look up at her, his eyes flashing with guilt and pain. "I'm sorry, dear Fari."
His voice was low and hoarse, filled with deep apology. But a surge of joy welled up inside him; she didn't blame him, that was wonderful.
Qiao Xiao frowned and squeezed his hand tightly. "Why did you do this? This is such a dangerous and foolish thing to do!"
Sipoz lowered his head, remained silent for a moment, and then said softly, "I just want to become stronger quickly so that I can protect you... If only my blood can awaken the Magic Mirror, then let it come."
Qiao Xiao was stunned. She hadn't expected that Shi Bozi would make such a sacrifice, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.
Spoelstra looked up at her with unwavering eyes. "No matter what happens, I'm willing to pay any price to protect you."
Qiao Xiao gently stroked the shocking wound, "Don't do that next time."
Schuberts replied quietly, "No."
"When can we sign the contract?"
Qiao Xiao: "You're still thinking about this!"
Spoelstra pouted, his deep red lip gloss exuding an alluring scent, and murmured to himself, "But that's the most important thing."
Qiao Xiao couldn't help but curse in her heart: "Love-obsessed."
She rubbed her head, feeling a headache coming on. "As long as those who shouldn't be here are driven away, I will definitely make a contract with you."
Although that is impossible.
Spoelstra kissed her cheek tenderly and smiled happily, “Keep our promise, my Fali.”
Beneath her long, thick eyelashes, her bright eyes held a gentle tenderness and the warmth of spring.
