Chapter 555: Dark Childhood Stories Are Not Lack of Cinderella (20)

Feeling that Darren was still breathing, Gu Zhen finally felt relieved. She lifted his face with great effort and was stunned when she saw clearly.

This second prince is really handsome.

Westerners have deep facial features and superior bone structure. Darren not only possesses these advantages, but also has a touch of ethereal air.

Fairy tales always say that it is like an elf falling into the woods. Today, Gu Zhen’s imagination finally has a concrete reference.

She could hardly help whistling.

After experiencing severe pain, Darren's face turned pale, with a bit of broken beauty. Gu Zhen looked at him carefully and felt that he looked nothing like the eldest prince Ian or His Majesty the King.

It should be similar to the late queen.

Gu Zhen patted his cheek, and Darren's eyelids moved, and he finally woke up.

Realizing that he was still in Gu Zhen's arms, Darren felt a little embarrassed. He propped himself up and sat up, gasping for breath.

He touched his smooth face, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

It’s been six years and I almost forgot what I look like.

Gu Zhen was considerate enough to bring a mirror for him to look at. In the mirror was a face that looked like a god from heaven, with a blank look that made people feel pity.

Darren called out the initials unconsciously, and it seemed as if he thought of his mother through this face.

But he soon returned to normal.

"Thank you Miss Anna. I think that when I return to the palace tomorrow, no one will doubt my identity anymore."

He was already eighteen years old when he left the palace. His face was so handsome that it envied both gods and humans. Will didn't dare to lie against his conscience.

Gu Zhen nodded and went back to the room first.

The next morning, Darren said goodbye to her. The sudden appearance of the handsome man made everyone in the manor look at him.

Gu Zhen, Catherine, and Ella were having breakfast in the restaurant. The spoon in Catherine's hand fell into the bowl with a "pop". "This young gentleman..."

Looks a bit familiar.

Gu Zhen smiled. Of course he looked familiar. The whole city was filled with portraits of the Second Prince. However, those portraits could only be described as good-looking. There was a huge difference between their temperament and that of the real prince.

Anyone who sees a living person will be amazed.

Even Ella felt the same. She looked at Darren with complicated feelings. She had already heard who this person was from his voice.

She didn't expect that the lowly servant was actually the second prince. She really misjudged him.

Darren took one last look at Gu Zhen, and suddenly felt a little reluctant.

He felt at ease during the few months at the manor, and the last time he spent with Gu Zhen was the happiest time in the past twenty-four years.

But he thought he would come back.

When Darren left, he borrowed Gu Zhen's white horse. The horse took him around the city for a long circle, and many subjects witnessed the elegance of the second prince with their own eyes.

Finally, the captain of the guards was alarmed, and he personally led the guards to bring the second prince back to the palace.

The guards are sworn to be loyal to the royal family. Unlike Will's men, they will protect Darren's safety.

Marquis Will fell down on the throne at that time. He felt a little reluctant that the good days ended too quickly.

But Darren obviously won't let him go easily.

Considering that Will was born into a royal family and was his uncle, Darren did not execute him. Instead, he stripped him of his title and drove the entire family out of the city.

With the support of everyone, Darren became the new king.

The first thing he did after taking office was to execute the eldest prince Ian at the stake.

The raging fire burned everything, but the lost people would never come back. Darren did not feel as happy as he thought.

But soon, his thoughts were occupied by the heavy government affairs.

As the most prosperous of several neighboring countries, envoys often come to pay homage. In addition to receiving guests and handling government affairs, Darren also trains troops and inspects his territory every day.

Only before going to bed every day would he take out the small mirror that Gu Zhen left with him, hold it against his heart and recall the good times.

I don’t know what Miss Anna is doing.

This is Darren's must before going to bed.

As autumn approaches, the castle is dyed with a layer of golden color. The pre-hunting ball is finally going to be held as scheduled, and all the nobles in the city will come to the banquet.

Darren was waiting at the door early to personally welcome the Duke's carriage.

He went against all odds and passed the title of Duke Charles to his stepdaughter Anna.

Although the ministers strongly opposed it at first, the second prince was not as gentle and kind as he appeared, and his behavior was no worse than that of his father and brother.

But they heard that Marquis Will was tragically killed by bandits not long after he left the city.

The second prince wanted to give the title to Miss Anna. Thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem to be a problem for them, and everyone smelled a hint of ambiguity in it.

Perhaps this Duchess will be their queen in the future, so it is better not to offend her.

So the manor was completely transformed and became Gu Zhen's world.

Gu Zhen was sitting in the carriage and saw Darren waiting there from the window.

Wearing the king's clothes made him look more majestic, but his eyes betrayed his inner excitement.

Haven't seen you for a while.

Gu Zhen got off the carriage and wanted to salute the King but was held by Darren. He bent down devoutly and kissed the back of Gu Zhen's hand.

"Duke Anna, no need to be so polite."

Darren looked straight into Gu Zhen's eyes with burning gaze, which contained a strong and urgent affection. Anyone could see that the new King loved the Duchess deeply.

Gu Zhen felt her hands were very hot. After the hand-kissing ceremony, the man did not observe gentlemanly etiquette and held her hand tightly, refusing to let go.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Gu Zhen had no choice but to glare at him, but was met with an even more scorching gaze.

The carriages behind were lined up in a row, blocking the road and unable to move. Darren looked at Gu Zhen deeply and personally helped her into the carriage.

But when he lifted her up by the waist, he whispered in her ear: "Miss Anna, do I have the honor to perform in the opening dance later?"

The hot air sprayed on Gu Zhen's ears and her face burned. She had no choice but to nod. After all, Darren seemed to be in a posture of not letting go unless she agreed.

Only after the carriage started moving did Gu Zhen feel more at ease.

It is hard to tell which one is his true self: the shy and sincere Darren in the manor, or the slightly strong and determined King now.

Gu Zhen touched her cheek with the back of her hand and heard Catherine's surprised tone.

"Anna, my dear daughter, His Majesty the King likes you? Oh my God, it would be great if you could become the Queen!"

Gu Zhen thought that if she became the queen, she would have to keep Catherine under control, otherwise she didn't know how she would act arrogantly outside.

There is also the time bomb Ella, and the dying second personality Sophie in his mind.

God, she was so difficult.
