I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 414, Section 1.26: Conspiracy
The story of the royal family of the fairy tale kingdom is actually a very melodramatic one.

After the queen got together with the ruler of the fairy tale kingdom at the time, she gave birth to Fish, who was the eldest prince. However, a woman who was a friend of the queen committed the sin of jealousy and was taken advantage of by Sloth.

A ritual was performed to exchange the soul of a woman with that of the queen, and the woman became the queen, while the real queen was killed by the woman.

The woman had seven children with the ruler at the time, but her jealousy never disappeared. She never forgot to frame the eldest prince, and even used some means to distort the eldest prince's bloodline, turning him into a sinner with dirty blood.

But in reality, she knew very well that the eldest prince was the most legitimate heir.

She eliminated the ruler at the time and, relying on her status as queen, seized sole power in the fairytale kingdom. After all, Adele hadn't appeared in the fairytale kingdom for a long time, and for most of the people, her existence was merely a rumor.

However, the woman overlooked one thing: Princess Qin, who was still in her womb, suffered from hyperthymesia and remembered all the sounds from the outside world since she was still in the womb.

She knew all of the woman's plans, even her identity and purpose.

But she wasn't even born yet when the eldest prince was banished. After she was born, she could only gradually lower their guard and secretly search for the eldest prince's whereabouts.

Fish hid very well, and Princess Jean didn't find him until he showed up on his own.

The story seems simple, but it involves the laziness of the Wonder Kingdom and it's unclear whether it's related to the jealousy of the Entertainment Kingdom.

The top seven individuals possess more than just titles; they also have the ability to influence the emotions of those around them. For instance, standing near someone experiencing jealousy, even the slightest hint of envy can have that emotion amplified infinitely in an instant, until it completely consumes one's true nature.

So it's uncertain whether the woman in the story's jealousy is related to the jealous person herself, but if it is, then the small fairy tale kingdom's royal family has involved the rulers of two other kingdoms.

This is not just an ordinary, melodramatic story; it's a very serious matter.

Jealousy and laziness may be involved, but their purpose is unknown, and they may even be linked to lust that has been suppressed.

If we think about it this way, ordinary royal scandals become victims of the struggle between the seven deadly sins.

"How was this world originally formed?" Mu Yegui turned to look at Xie Er and asked softly.

"Initially, there was only a king city that was still in its infancy. Later, under the guidance of laziness, the Wonder Kingdom and the Fairy Tale Kingdom were established. However, the first kingdom to have a ruler was the Food Kingdom, which was arbitrarily divided up."

Later, the king disappeared, and suddenly new rules emerged. Everyone was assigned ranks and titles, and each went to their designated territory to establish their own kingdom. But I remained in the royal city…”

Sher omitted all the disputes in the middle, leaving only an important framework.

The rules came into being after the king disappeared; initially, there were no such rules, and they were not bound by them.

After the king disappeared, Sloth immediately sided with the Rules, making it hard not to suspect that there was some kind of deal between Sloth and the Rules, or that it was all part of his plan, just a conspiracy.

“You all seem to harbor some hostility towards laziness,” Mu Yegui said softly. “He’s not trustworthy; he’s just a traitor who immediately abandoned his companions and sided with the rules after the king disappeared,” Xie Er shook his head and said.

"However, it seems to me that he did this because he wanted to protect precious treasures."

Because the most dangerous place is always the safest.

"He wouldn't have any treasures he wanted to protect. I knew that when I first met him, all he had in his mind was selfish schemes, but he was too lazy to do anything himself and always ordered others around. When it came to his own turn, he would give up without even thinking."

That's why he's lazy, always giving up without hesitation, and never knowing what perseverance is.

"So why is he doing this now? For someone who is prone to giving up, his current behavior is undoubtedly contradictory."

Isn't it lazy to boss others around?
"You'll know when you meet him." Sher reached out and touched Mu Yegui's hair, not continuing to refute Mu Yegui, but just said with a light laugh.

Mu Yegui blinked her clear, cold silver eyes and tilted her head to look at him.

"I'll have them all attend the next meeting, and we can get to know each other again then." Even if someone is hostile to laziness, it's just a personal emotion and has nothing to do with official business. When it's time to meet, one should still maintain a normal attitude.

“I’m going to the castle. If Tanshuna is related to sloth, then I’m bound to run into Dionysus.” Although Adele said she wouldn’t get any information out of him, how would she know if she didn’t try?
“For a drunkard, just give him some wine. He asked me for a bottle of wine, so I had Jafar bring it over. Give this to him, and he will tell you that I am waiting for you at the fountain in front of the castle.”

Sher didn't want to go to the castle and see those awful guys, especially Fish. Although he had picked up Fish on purpose, he had neglected him after picking him up, which had caused Fish's personality to become so warped that he didn't even recognize him anymore.

That's why he kept Jafar as a pet when he found him later. Fish was a cautionary tale, and he didn't want Jafar to be spoiled too.

No matter what, he was the one who picked up Fish, and later let him grow up unsupervised, so it was a bit awkward to meet him. He should try to avoid seeing him if possible. He didn't choose to see Fish when they were in the royal city, so he would definitely not see him here.

Shel's assessment of Fish was probably just a few words: a troublesome child who has been raised too loosely and gone astray.

Upon closer reflection, it's clear that Jafar is indeed more obedient and adorable.

The king used to like taking in children and raising them. The youngest was Rongyi, who was still an infant crying for milk, and the oldest was Adele, who was 16 years old and had just escaped from bad guys, with only a towel wrapped around her body.

Over time, Sher also became deeply influenced by the king and developed a habit of picking up children to raise.

This is why, among the Seven Deadly Sins, most of Sherlock's apostles are young people. After signing a contract with him, their age will stop.

Of course, this excludes those of Jill who are of a short, boyish physique.

There's a birthday celebration event for Sher in the pinned comment section of QQ Reading, which ends on the 21st. You can participate for a chance to win a mystery gift.
