Chapter 13 The Yellow Dwarf (2)
As she said this, the prince who had always loved her was grieving at parting so soon from his lovely princess.But he knew very well that the witch's magic was powerful, and he had no hope of escaping at all. The only possibility was to rely on patience and wit.

The Fairy of the Desert also saw Bellisma, and she wanted to see through the Prince's eyes how this unexpected encounter affected him.

"I am the only one who can best tell you what you want to know," said he. "This chance encounter with that unfortunate princess was but a fleeting moment for me, and now I am very fortunate to have met you. You have made me Attractiveness. I admit that you are more important to me than her, and it would be better to kill me if you want me to leave you."

"Oh, Prince," she said, "shall I believe that you really love me?"

"Time will tell, ma'am," the prince replied, "but you must do something to convince me that you care about me, too. I beg you, don't refuse to help Bellisma."

"Do you know what you're talking about?" The "Desert Fairy" immediately frowned and looked at him suspiciously, "You want to use my magic power to fight against my best friend, the yellow dwarf, and then get rid of him Snatch away the mighty princess? Although I can do it, she is my rival in love."

The prince sighed, but did not answer—what could he say to this cunning witch?At last they came to a prairie in full bloom, surrounded by deep canals, and many brooks whispering softly under the shade of trees.The air here is really cool and fresh.Not far away stands a luxurious palace with walls made of transparent emeralds.

No sooner had the witch's chariot drawn by the swan landed in the corridor paved with diamonds and precious stones than thousands of beautiful animals came joyfully from all directions and welcomed them with songs:
"When his heart is full of love, there is no way to stop him.

Pride is only sadder, and his victories more glorious. "

The "Desert Fairy" was very happy to hear them sing about their victory.She led the prince into one of the most luxurious rooms, and left him for a while to make him feel that he was no prisoner.

But the prince knew that she hadn't really left at all, but was watching him from some hidden place.So he went to a large mirror and said to it: "Faithful mirror, please tell me how to please the charming 'Desert Fairy'? I really don't know how to please her."

Then he immediately began to comb his hair, and seeing a splendid coat on the table, he put it on carefully.When the witch came back, she couldn't hide her joy anymore. "I know you're struggling with how to make me happy," she said, "and I have to tell you now that you've done a good job. You see, if you really like me, it's not hard at all to make me happy."

The prince, for reasons of his own, was obliged to continue to keep the witch amused, and flattered her all the time.So after some time, the witch allowed him to go for a walk by himself by the sea.But the Witch has already cast her spells, raising a tempest at sea--not even the bravest sailor dares to risk the voyage.So she was not at all afraid of her prisoner escaping.Our prince, thinking of his predicament, found some consolation in being free from the witch.

He wandered aimlessly by the sea, and soon left many verses on the sand with branches:
"I came to this beach at last, to drive the grief away with soft tears.

well!well!I can no longer see my sweetheart, who will drive away my sorrow. "

"You, roaring sea, the winds carried you aloft, you carried my beloved far away, and made me your captive."

"My heart is crazier than yours, because fate is too cruel to me.

Why must I suffer and we cannot meet?Why take away the princess? "

"Ah! Beautiful girl, in this deep sea, who knows how true and sweet your love is.

Come and calm this mighty wave, and set a hopeless man free, forever! "

Selan Fairy Tale Book Fairy Tale Book Fairy Tale Book Children's Book When he was writing quietly, he was suddenly attracted by the voice beside him.The waves rolled higher and higher. He looked around and immediately saw a beautiful girl standing on the crest of the huge waves and slowly approaching him.Her long hair blows in the wind, and she holds a mirror in one hand and a comb in the other.Instead of legs, a beautiful fish tail—she was swimming.

The prince was stupefied with fright at this unexpected sight.But soon she called to him from a distance:

"I know how sad it is for you to lose your own princess and be trapped here by the 'Desert Fairy'. If you want, I can help you escape from this unfortunate place. Otherwise, you may have to stay here in pain again 30 years or more."

Prince Jinshan really didn't know how to answer.It wasn't that he was unwilling to flee there immediately, but that he was afraid that this might be another trick played by the "Desert Fairy".Seeing his hesitation, the mermaid guessed his thoughts, and said again: "You have to trust me. I didn't come to trick you. Ever since I saw your poor princess, I was deeply moved by her beauty and kindness. , I am very angry with the yellow dwarf and the 'Desert Fairy', and I will never help them do bad things. So please believe me, I can really help you escape."

"I absolutely believe in you," cried the Prince, "and I will do as you command. But since you have seen the princess, please tell me how she is now? Is she all right?"

"Let's not waste time talking," she said. "Come with me, and I'll take you to the Iron Castle. We'll leave a double of you on this beach, so that the witch will be charmed by it." Said When she was done, she quickly gathered a bundle of seaweed, and blew on it three times, saying, "Friendly seaweed, I command you to lie on the sand until the 'Desert God' comes and takes you away." So the seaweed immediately Turned into the appearance of a prince, even wearing the same coat.At this moment our real prince was looking at the impostor in amazement.But it also lay there pale and silent like a real prince, as if a mighty wave would sweep it away.Then the mermaid called the prince, and they swam away happily.

"Now is the time to tell you about the princess," she said. "After the 'Desert Fairy' shot her, the yellow dwarf forced her to sit on those two terrible Spanish cats. She fainted with fear. She did not wake up until behind the terrible iron castle. There were many beautiful girls serving her.

It can be seen that the yellow dwarfs have kidnapped some people.He couldn't wait to gesture to her at every opportunity.She was trapped on a bed with a gold silk quilt embroidered with large walnut pearls. "

"Ah!" Prince Jinshan interrupted her, "if Bellisma forgets me and is willing to marry the dwarf, I will be heartbroken."

"You needn't worry about it," replied the mermaid. "The princess has no one else in her heart but you, and the dreadful dwarf is no match for her."

"Go on, please," said the prince.

"What else is there to tell?" replied the mermaid. "Belisma was sitting by the grove when you and the 'Desert Fairy' passed by. The Witch cunningly changed herself, so that the Princess mistakenly thought she was more beautiful than herself." Much more. Think how hopeless she was, thinking you were in love with her."

"She really believed that I would fall in love with that old hag!" the prince couldn't help crying out, "A fatal mistake! What can I do to let her know the truth?"

"You know." The mermaid smiled kindly and said to him, "You two love each other so much that you don't need other people's opinions at all."

Then they came to the Iron Castle.Only the yellow dwarf on the side facing the sea has not set up a terrible wall of blazing fire. "I know the princess is sitting by the brook you saw when you passed by," said the mermaid. "But you will have to fight many enemies to reach her. Take this sword and use it as a weapon. I believe you will overcome all difficulties without fear of danger. But one thing, never let the sword leave your hand .Goodbye, if I need to carry your beloved princess on my back, I will wait for you on that rock. Because her queen mother is my best friend, and she asked me to rescue you." After finishing speaking, she The prince was given a sword of pure diamond that shone brighter than the sun.He really didn't know what to say to thank the mermaid, but he asked her to believe that he was very grateful for this precious gift, and would never forget her help and kindness.

Now let's go back and see what happened to "Desert Fairy".When she found that the prince had not returned from the sea, she hurried out to find him, and she and a hundred maidservants brought splendid presents.Some carried baskets full of diamonds, others golden goblets of fine workmanship—full of amber, coral, and pearls, and bags of the most beautiful and valuable things on their heads; All kinds of fruits and flowers, and even birds.Think of how horrified she must have been when she led this group of cheerful servants, but saw the prince lying on the sand pale and motionless!She was stunned by the scene in front of her, uttered a horrible cry, then lay down next to the false prince, crying loudly, and called her 100 sisters.They are all witches who have come to help the "Spirits of the Desert".Unexpectedly, they were all deceived by the prince's substitute, because although they are very cunning, mermaids are smarter.

What they can do is to help the "Desert Fairy" build the best monument on the beach where Prince Jinshan stayed.While they were collecting jasper gems, agate pearls, gold and silver, and starting to design and build a statue in honor of the prince, the real prince was thanking the kind mermaid and asking for her help.The mermaid obliged him kindly, and then disappeared.Then he set off for the Iron Castle.He walked quickly, looking around restlessly, hoping to see dear Bellisma again.But before he went far, he was surrounded by four sphinxes.They threatened that if it were not for the mermaid's diamond sword, they would have torn him to pieces with their sharp claws.But as soon as the prince flashed his sword in front of them, they fell powerlessly at his feet, so he stepped forward and killed them with his sword.Before he could continue his search for the princess, he met six more dragons whose scales were harder than steel.

Faced with such a terrible enemy, the prince was not afraid at all, and with the help of the magic sword, he chopped all the dragons into meat paste one by one.He wished now that the difficulty had been overcome, but he did not know what to do when he encountered another enemy.Four beautiful forest girls held garlands and blocked his way.

"Prince, where are you going?" they asked. "This is a place we are responsible for guarding. If we let you pass, you and we will suffer misfortune. Please don't stubbornly go there. Do you really want to go?" Kill us four girls who have never offended you?"

The prince did not know what to do or how to answer them.It would be detrimental to a knight to refuse a lady's request, but when he was hesitating, he heard a voice in his ear saying: "Rush! Rush! Don't waste any more time, or you will really lose the princess forever !"

So instead of answering their question, he rushed forward to split their garlands, and the shards flew about.At last, without further obstacles, he came to the grove and saw Bellisma.She sat pale and listless by the stream.When he was beside her, he nearly fell at her feet, but she turned away angrily, as if he too were a yellow dwarf. "Oh! my princess!" he cried, "don't be angry with me again, please let me explain. It is not that I have broken my promise and blame everything that happened. I am a poor wretch who failed to protect you and let you angry."

"Ah!" Bellisma asked back, "Do you think I didn't see you and your beauty flying across the sky? Could it be forced?"

"Yes, my princess," he explained, "it was the wicked 'Desert Fairy' who not only chained me to a rock, but drove me across the world in her chariot. If an unexpected and friendly mermaid hadn't brought me here, I'd still be her captive. My princess, run away with me from the scumbag who imprisoned you. Do not reject the one who loves you most faithfully " After finishing speaking, he knelt at her feet and held up her long skirt.However, he threw the magic sword aside with such a handful.The little yellow dwarf, who had been crouching behind the lettuce all this time, jumped out and grabbed it, for he knew the magic of the sword.

The princess cried out in terror when she saw the dwarf, but this enraged the little monster still more.He uttered a spell, and summoned two giants to bind the prince with great iron chains.

"His fate is now in my hands, but I can spare his life and promise to do no harm to him.

But you, princess, must agree to marry me. "

"Don't promise him, I'd rather die a thousand times than let you do that," cried the unfortunate Prince.

"Ah!" cried the princess, "you must die? Is there anything more terrible than that?"

"It's much worse for you to marry that wretch!" replied the prince.

"At least," continued the Princess, "we shall die together!"

"Then let me die for you first! My princess!" he said.

"No, no, no!" she cried, and then to the Dwarf, "I will do as you will."

"Princess Ruthless!" said the Prince, "Are you really going to marry someone else in front of my eyes and make my life worse than death?"

"Don't get too fancy," said the little yellow dwarf. "You are the only rival I fear, and I will not let you see our wedding!" Then, ignoring Bellisma's cries and cries, he took his diamond sword stabbed the prince.

The poor princess watched her lover die at her feet, unable to live alone any longer.She was so heartbroken that she died beside the prince.

So the hapless lovers died, and not even the mermaid could save them, for all the magic of the diamond sword was gone.

And the evil dwarf would rather see the princess die than marry Prince Jinshan.

After hearing the prince's adventures, the "Desert Fairy" was so angry that he tore down the majestic monument.Because she was very angry at the prince's deception, and she really hated him from love.

The good mermaid was so sad for the lovers' misfortune that she turned them into two palm trees.Then they can nestle together forever, the intertwined branches caress each other, whisper to each other, and pour out their loyal love to each other.
