Chapter 385 The bard is telling a story 2
"The stepmother's biological daughter has become an ugly monster who spits a toad when she speaks, but Sophie is getting more and more beautiful, spitting out gold coins when she speaks."
"This almost made Sophie's stepmother angry. After she couldn't find the three dwarfs of fate, she exhaled her anger on the poor Sophie."
"Finally one day, my stepmother took out a pot, put it on the fire, and cooked a ball of string inside."
"After the thread was cooked, it had become a ball! She took it out and put it on the girl's shoulder, then gave the girl an axe, asked her to go to the frozen river, dig a hole in the ice surface, and rinse the thread in the hole."
"This is simply an impossible task, but poor Sophie had no choice but to obey and come to the riverside and walk to the middle of the river to dig ice. The temperature that day was just like the temperature outside now. You can imagine how difficult it was for poor Sophie!" The bard spoke to the people in the tavern with regretful tone. The cold wind was blowing desperately outside, and the small stove in the tavern was burning.
After pausing, the bard continued to say expressionlessly, "The string of fate was twisted. In such cold weather, the king of the Duchy of Saxony did not stay in his strong and warm castle to keep warm, but suddenly became interested, riding in a gorgeous carriage and watching the snow."
"The king and Sophie met!" A faint feeling suddenly flashed deep in the minstrel's eyes, "The beautiful Sophie attracted the king's attention at once. The king deeply sympathized with the poor Sophie's experience. Love took root in his heart. He couldn't help but ask Sophie, would he be willing to go with him?"
"Maybe it is the power of love, or it is the operation of fate. After seeing the king for the first time, Sophie fell in love with the king. She agreed to the king's request without hesitation."
"The king brought Sophie back to his castle and his palace. Only then did Sophie realize that he was meeting a king."
"They held a grand wedding in the palace, and her beauty convinced all the noble ladies present. The entire Saxony Principality was celebrating the beauty of Queen Sophie, and her reputation even spread abroad."
"However, the stepmother who originally thought Sophie died also knew about her. She wanted to see Sophie, but Sophie refused without hesitation. This made the stepmother, who was already jealous, feel even more angry. Looking at her ugly daughter, who was difficult to attach, she vowed to make Sophie pay the price and transfer her happiness to her daughter."
"She is like a poisonous snake in the dark, waiting for opportunities and seeking opportunities!"
"A year later, the young queen gave birth to a prince. At this time, Sophie's stepmother finally found an excuse to visit her grandson. Sophie was not easy to refuse, so she could only let them come to the palace and get the opportunity to meet alone."
"Sophie originally thought that her stepmother would make excessive demands for her to help, and Sophie had already thought of a reason to refuse. But unexpectedly, her stepmother was more greedy and stupid than she imagined, and she actually wanted to take everything from Sophie."
"She grabbed Sophie's head, her daughter grabbed Sophie's feet, lifted Sophie off the bed, threw it from the window, and threw it on the river outside the castle."
"That river is deep and unfathomable, and the water flows fast. As soon as Sophie was thrown down, she didn't know where she was washed!"
"So the stepmother's daughter plays Sophie in a noble way. The stepmother's daughter is lying on the bed, covered in her body."
"The king came over and wanted to talk to the queen, and the stepmother standing next to him shouted loudly, shit, don't disturb her, she's sweating now, don't disturb her today!"
"This king is so stupid! Such a simple trick is not recognized." The bard commented mockingly.
The tavern became very quiet, and there was little spiritual entertainment in this world. Gossip is a rare source of happiness, especially the aristocratic gossip. What's more, this is the gossip of a king, which is filled with many elements of cool literature. The idle men and wine girls in the tavern are naturally listening with relish!
"The king left honestly and did not come until the next morning. Although the stepmother's daughter did not face the king face to face, she began to answer the king's words in a hoarse tone."
"But the sound is so good, but the curse imposed by the dwarf of fate on him will not change. As soon as the stepmother's daughter spoke, a toad jumped out, which scared the king."
"Sophie's stepmother quickly explained that this was sweating and it will be cured soon!"
"The king is half-believing and half-doubted, but he still didn't say anything!"
As soon as the minstrel said, someone couldn't help but speak.
The whole tavern suddenly became noisy.
"This king is the stupidest one I've ever seen!"
"Yes, I can't see such an obvious flaw. If it were me, I would definitely not have done so. I could see through this vicious old daughter's plan on the spot. No, I wouldn't even let them meet."
"If you were the king, my goodness, you drink yourself like a monkey every day, and you will only do worse than him!"
"Duke, are you trying to fight?"
"Haha, I'm just talking about a fact!"
"you……"
"Okay, don't argue anymore! Get out of the way when you fight, we have to continue listening to the story. How is the queen? She won't die like this, right?"
"Die?" The bard suddenly fell silent, then smiled calmly, shook his head, and said meaningfully, "How could she die easily by the dwarf of fate?"
"On the night the king left, a duck swam out of the sewer. A little helper in the palace saw this scene. Before the little helper could take action, the duck actually spoke with a pleasant voice."
"It says, King, what are you doing? Are you asleep or awake?"
"The little helper was stunned and did not answer for a moment!"
"The duck then asked again, what are the two guests of the queen doing?"
"The little helper hesitated for a moment and replied, "
"The duck asked again, what is the queen's baby doing?"
"The little helper replied, he fell asleep in the cradle."
"The duck looked at the little helper gratefully, and then walked into the queen's room. When she reached her room, it had become the queen. She fed her child, shook his little bed, covered him with a quilt, and turned into a duck and walked out of the sewer."
"She came like this for two nights. By the third night, she told the little helper, go and tell the king, let him take his sword, stand on the threshold, and wave it three times on my head."
"The little helper went to do it immediately. The king continued to do what the queen said, and the queen changed from a duck to her original appearance."
"At this time, from the queen's mouth, the king finally knew the whole story."
"The king grabbed the queen's stepmother and sister, put it in a wooden barrel full of nails, rolled from the hillside into the river, and drowned!"
"From then on, the king and the queen live happily together!"
"Everyone, the story ends here! I'm glad that my story can make everyone feel a little happy! I also hope that the story I bring next time will be more exciting!"
