01

The princess was captured by the evil dragon, and this bad news shrouded the entire Cassie Bell. As the princess' fiancé, the knight had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of rescuing the princess.

The next day, the knight set out on a journey to find the dragon. According to an old woodcutter, to find the dragon's lair, one needs to climb three mountains, cross two rivers, pass through swamps, and finally pass through the terrifying man-eating forest.

When they crossed the second mountain, the knight picked up a girl at the foot of the mountain. The girl was wearing a black cloak, and she was lying in the bushes, dying. The knight couldn't wait for death, he dragged her to the shade and fed her some water.

"Chicken legs... I want to eat... chicken legs." The cloaked girl who regained consciousness spit out the first sentence.

The knight happened to have three drumsticks on him, but he hesitated. These drumsticks were specially prepared for the dragon, because the woodcutter escaped from the dragon because he carried the drumsticks with him.

However, how can it be a "evil dragon" if it can be subdued by a few chicken legs? The knight was puzzled.

In the end, the knight gave the cloaked girl his "hole card" and watched her devoured the chicken legs, gradually regaining her anger, and finally realized that this person was probably starving and fainted on the side of the road.

The knight finally couldn't hold back the smile at the corner of his mouth, and also received a fierce eye knife from the cloak girl.

In order to thank the knight for his kindness, the cloaked girl decided to take him to the dragon. According to the cloaked girl, the dragon lived on the mountain not far from her house, but it was not as ferocious as the knight said, and he had never seen it capture any princess.

The girl in the cloak took the doubtful knight over the mountains, over the rivers and swamps, through the forest, and all the way through the monsters, and came to the cave of the dragon.

There were no princesses in the cave, not even dragons, only gold and silver jewels all over the place.

The cloaked girl suddenly disappeared, and the cave was instantly shrouded in a huge black shadow. The knight reacted and looked behind him. There was only a black dragon at the entrance of the cave, stared at by those amber eyes, but he was not afraid. , but there is a kind of inexplicable familiarity.

The evil dragon spit fire fiercely at the knight, but it didn't hurt him. In the flames, he turned back into a girl in a cape.

"Stupid knight, don't you understand what's going on?" The girl stared at the knight, unable to do anything about his stupidity.

"You didn't take the princess, did you?" The knight grabbed her black cloak, wondering if it was scaled.

"Of course, this stupid princess is not delicious, what do I want her to do?" The girl pulled the cloak back, but was caught by her hair again.

"You just turned into a dragon, didn't you see hair?" The knight was a little curious.

"What a strange focus!"

The knight bid farewell to the dragon and returned to the royal city.

He truthfully told what he had seen and heard, insisting that the princess was not kidnapped by the dragon.

The always prudent and dignified queen was furious and accused him of being greedy for life and fear of death, so she made up lies.

The king ordered the knight to be locked in the tower, and he led his army to rescue the princess.

The knight was locked on the top floor, and there was a skylight, and he could see a ray of light. He looked at the light, and suddenly remembered a pair of amber eyes, which always flashed.

What should I do, I suddenly began to worry about whether this greedy dragon has the ability to protect himself.

The sound of the heavy object hitting the top of the tower interrupted his worries. When he looked up, he happened to meet an amber eye.

The owner of the eyes saw him standing stupidly, and his anger grew even more. He stretched out his huge claws to break the iron fence on the skylight, and jumped in in human form.

The dragon didn't wait for the knight to answer, and pulled him out of the skylight, turning him into a black dragon again.

She flew around the palace a few times with grandeur, bewildering the knights.

"What are you doing?" The knight was tugged at by her big claws and felt very uncomfortable.

"Of course, I'm justifying my guilt, so that's why the dragon robs the princess." The dragon wagged his tail proudly.

"I am a knight."

"Almost, the process is right."

The dragon finally stopped in front of the palace gate, where a lot of people had already gathered. On the tower stood the queen and ministers, and downstairs were the people watching the fun.

"I stole your knight, come and take it back if you have the ability!" After saying this, the evil dragon spewed fire at the crowd, causing everyone to turn their backs.

Yilong slipped quietly into the princess' bedroom and found a clue - the fake dragon's message.

Although the words above are deliberately written crookedly, it can be seen from the subtleties that it belongs to the same person as the living record on the princess's bookshelf.

Although the knight had not met his fiancée a few times, he still had a basic understanding of her. She had always followed a servant by her side, and she was quite fond of her.

The princess disappeared, and the attendant never showed up.

"He must have caught the princess and framed me!" The dragon was indignant.

Thoughtfully, the knight appeased the dragon and took her out of the palace to the servant's house in the south of the city, where he saw the princess in disguise.

When the princess saw the two people who suddenly appeared, she quickly hid behind the attendant.

"Tell me, what's going on." The knight held the angry dragon and stroked her head soothingly.

The princess watched the interaction between the two and gradually calmed down.

The princess and the attendant were childhood sweethearts, and they fell in love with each other for a long time, but the old-fashioned king did not know what books to read. He felt that the princess and the knight were a natural pair, so he just wanted to marry the princess to the knight. Taking this as a last resort, pretending to be captured by the dragon, but in fact eloping.

"You guys are too fake. I can see that the sheets were cut with a knife." The dragon said disdainfully.

"Because they have someone to support them, they don't have to be so similar." The knight turned his head to the two, his tone was firm, and he already had the answer in his heart.

"If I'm not mistaken, the queen is your inner responder."

"The queen mother really knows." The princess looked at her lover lonely. "Are you going to hand us over to King Father?"

"That arrogant and unreasonable old man? No, I have a plan." The dragon smiled.

The next day, the queen ordered that whoever could save the princess from the dragon would be the future concubine. The king was frustrated by the dragon and agreed to this condition.

After another three days, the attendant returned to the palace with the scales of the dragon and the princess, and of course married the princess.

The princess' original fiancé had long since disappeared.

Some people say that they have seen him in a shop selling chicken drumsticks, while others say that they have seen him following a figure in a cloak in the forest. But people just take it as a rumour.
