The Wizard’s Fairy Tale

Chapter 223: A Story

The Grand Duke of Estonia showed a sullen expression, while the Grand Duchess also had a cold look in her eyes.

Bishop Margeri Does this mean something?

Bishop Margeri didn't seem to notice the change in the expressions of the Estonian Grand Duke and his wife, but said to himself, and he sighed softly, These beautiful red shoes come from a cute little girl.

This little girl's name is Galen!

Galen was born in a poor family. In summer, she had to walk barefoot. In winter, she could only drag a pair of heavy wooden shoes, and the insteps were worn out by the wooden shoes. But there is no way, poor Little Galen doesn't have a pair of shoes of his own!

Her mother is an old shoemaker in the village! She loves little Galen very much, and she is determined to make a pair of beautiful red shoes for her daughter!

She found a piece of old red cloth with great difficulty, sat down and sewed a pair of little shoes with her best efforts! These little shoes are not beautiful, even a little ugly, but they are full of a mother's love for her daughter meaning!

Bishop Margeri spoke quietly, while the Estonian Grand Duke and Grand Duchess listened impetuously.

When hearing this, Grand Duchess Susan felt the same way, and couldn't help but say, Is this the pair of shoes?

Of course not, Grand Duchess! Bishop Margeri smiled and said, For a daughter, these shoes are priceless treasures, but they are not the protagonist of our discussion today!

Grand Duchess Susan kept her mouth shut.

Bishop Margeri continued, Little Galen's mother passed away not long after the shoes were sewn! Little Galen had to wear these red shoes to attend his mother's funeral!

An old lady who went back to the village to visit relatives saw this scene and felt very sorry for Little Galen. She is a widow with no children, so she adopted her!

The old lady brought little Galen back to the city.

The old lady provided little Galen with food, drink, and clothes. Little Galen's life became much happier.

Everything is developing for the better, except... Bishop Margeri made a fool of himself.

I guess it has something to do with the pair of red shoes, right? Grand Duchess Susan guessed cleverly.

Yes, Grand Duchess! Bishop Margery nodded with a smile and continued, Little Galen wears those little red shoes every day, but the old lady doesn't like them very much. She thinks they are unlucky and annoying. Poor Little Galen once naively thought that the old lady liked the pair of red shoes very much, but unexpectedly it was the opposite.

The old lady took these red shoes and burned them!

No, how could she? Grand Duchess Susan is also the mother of a child, and she was most moved when she heard this.

Unfortunately, the red shoes that Little Galen's mother made for her daughter were burned! Bishop Margery said.

Grand Duchess Susan suddenly fell silent.

Bishop Margery continued, Time has passed bit by bit, and little Galen has grown up slowly, and has reached an age where she can be blessed. People are saying that she is cute and beautiful!

Once, the princess of the country where Galen lived was on a tour, and she also went to see it! On that princess, Galen saw a pair of red tanned leather shoes on the princess's feet! What a pair of beautiful red shoes! Margery said. the bishop praised.

Is it these red shoes? Grand Duchess Susan couldn't help asking again.

Sorry, dear madam, it's not! Bishop Margery shook his head, and then said, But these red shoes also attracted Galen's attention, and she also wants a pair of her own!

Gallen went to a shoe shop in the city, a shop that made shoes for the aristocratic and rich. There were many large glass shelves, and there were many neat shoes and boots on display. And in it, Galen Len found a pair of shoes very similar to the princess's red shoes.

The old lady who adopted Galen couldn't see clearly. She didn't know that the shoes were red and thought they were black. So she bought these shoes for Galen!

Galen really likes this pair of shoes! She wears these shoes to various balls every day,

Everyone who saw her praised her!

It made the sweet little girl proud and vain inside.

Even, she still wore these red shoes but participated in the baptism of the Lord of the Holy Light!

My God! This is so disrespectful... Grand Duchess Susan murmured, even if this was the Northland, they would not do such a thing in such a solemn place.

Vanity always blinds people. Bishop Margery said lightly, without any expression, as if it was commonplace!

Gallen wearing red shoes got everyone's attention in the church, but Galen was very happy!

However, when the kind-hearted old lady learned about this from other people, she was very angry and strictly stopped Galen from wearing red shoes to church again, so she could only wear black shoes!

But Galen thought that wearing black shoes would not attract the attention of others. When the next church service came, Galen still couldn't resist the temptation of the devil in his heart. He put on these red shoes again and went to the church!

At the door of the church, there was a disabled veteran standing with a cane. He had a very strange long beard, and the beard was red.

Seeing the old lady and Galen, he almost bent his waist to the ground, and asked the old lady, can he be allowed to wipe off the dust on Galen's shoes, because only clean people can enter the church!

Galun stretched out her little feet, and the disabled soldier also saw the pair of red shoes, and he couldn't help admiring, what beautiful dancing shoes they are, they are most suitable for dancing, but they are not suitable for entering church!

The old lady didn't expect Galen to put on the red shoes again, and she was very angry. She ordered Galen to take off the red shoes. Galen apparently agreed, but took advantage of the old lady's blindness, put them on again quietly, and entered the sacred place. in the church!

And what happened? asked the Estonian Grand Duke, frowning. Has she been excommunicated?

No! The Holy Light is tolerant! Galen's prayer went smoothly, but during the prayer, Galen didn't put her mind on her belief in the Lord of the Holy Light. She only thought about her pair of red shoes! When Bishop Margery said this, his tone became a little harsh.

The Estonian Grand Duke's eyes shrank slightly, because when he was praying, he was not thinking of the Lord of the Holy Light, but...

The Archduke of Estonia was not sure whether Bishop Margeri meant something, but Bishop Margeri continued!
