How to wear a goddess statue

The priestess watched her daughter leave, and then glanced at Aleuil, her expression was still rigid, and nothing special could be seen.

She said to the handsome man sitting beside her, "My lord, this is Princess Eleuil."

The lord of Cadillac was a fat man with an ordinary appearance, and he seemed to have a beaming smile on his face. Even when facing the powerless little princess, he did not show contempt in his eyes.

"Oh, Your Highness Eleuil." He seemed very apologetic, "I was supposed to welcome you in front of the city gate, but I'm really busy these days, so I didn't have time to visit until today, it's really rude. "

"In order to express my apology, please accept my gift."

The city lord clapped his hands, and the guard standing on his left took a step forward, opened the wooden box he was holding, revealing several kinds of Kadella special snacks inside.

In all fairness, these foods looked quite delicate and delicious, but as a gift to the princess, it was too contemptuous, and it was not an exaggeration to say that there was a suspicion of deliberate provocation.

The city lord looked at Aleuil with a smile, as if waiting for her reaction.

The little princess lived up to everyone's expectations and asked: "Master Cadilla, what do you mean by that!"

"Why is Your Highness so angry?" the city lord asked knowingly, "Could it be that I didn't entertain you well?"

"You..." Eleuil gritted his teeth, as if he remembered his current situation at this moment, unwilling to suppress his anger.

She wanted to calm things down, but the city lord went further: "It's the sweets that don't suit your taste? Don't worry, I won't force you to accept it."

As soon as the words came out, the guard standing behind really closed the box, and his meaning was very clear: he didn't even intend to give this little gift, and he didn't take the little princess's face seriously at all.

Ailuil clenched his hands, his chest heaved, but he was too weak to get angry, and said bluntly: "It doesn't matter. I still have to go to school, so I'll go first."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head and strode out, obviously very angry.

But only Rhodes, who was following her, could see that the expression of the little princess quickly calmed down after turning around, with thoughts in her indifference.

Sure enough, she would not be so reckless.

Rhodes thought for a while, then floated back to the room.

At this time, the priestess looked like she had nothing to do with herself, and she was anxious in her heart. This was the child entrusted to her by the goddess Rhodes, in case she offended the city lord here...

"Princess Eleuil is really spoiled, she doesn't even know how to be polite, please rest assured, the city lord, I will teach her well."

The Lord Cadella smiled indifferently: "Muya, you are always so strict, it's okay, do I care about this with a child?"

The priestess bowed her head and said, "The city lord is tolerant."

The city lord shook his head, and stood up from the chair with difficulty: "Since I have already paid my respects to this Highness, it is time for me to go back."

He led the two guards along the wide avenue to the carriage parked in front of the temple gate. The priestess stood behind and looked at their backs worriedly.

Rhodes followed. It seemed that she couldn't leave the temple too far away, but fortunately, this distance was enough for her to listen to the conversation of the castellan and the others.

"My lord, these snacks—"

"Throw it away, do you still want me to eat it?"

"My subordinates dare not."

After a short silence, the guard asked again: "My lord, we didn't do what he ordered this time, so should we do it again?"

"It's not necessary. A little girl who puts on her face whether she's happy or not, has been pampered in Wangcheng, so there's no threat."

"But the grown-up said..."

"The one only said that if there was a threat, he would get rid of it, but he didn't say that he must do it. The princess was sent to Kadela all the way. There were so many opportunities to do it, and no one thought about it along the way. Do you think that murdering the royal family means Are you playing for fun?" The voice of the city lord suddenly rose, "That will be cursed by the gods!"

The two guards seemed to be shocked, and they didn't dare to vent their breath.

After a long time, the tone of the city lord calmed down: "No matter how good this princess was in martial arts and arrows, she could only be slowly abandoned in the temple. She is not a prince, so what are you afraid of? Keeping her might come in handy in the future. That's the end of the matter."

Hearing this, Rhodes had reached the farthest distance he could leave the temple, and had to stop and watch the carriage go away.

——The little princess's caution is not unreasonable.

There are dangers around her, even if she is exiled to Kadela, the enemies in the royal city are still worried.Not doing anything now is just because of contempt. If Aleuil is the prince, I am afraid they will kill the grass and roots no matter what.

Rhodes sighed softly and returned to the temple the same way.

She looked along the small window of the school, and among all the schoolchildren, Eleuil's sitting figure stood out, no matter who saw her at first sight, she could not be concealed even if she deliberately concealed it shine.

Someday in the future, those people will regret their contempt for the little princess.

As she thought about it, she couldn't help showing a smile of expectation, and floated lightly through the wall to Aleuil's side, and looked up——

The priest's daughter Ruiya was standing among the three circles of students, her face was blushing, she was holding a book and stuttering to give lectures, her voice was so small that even Eleuil couldn't hear it clearly.

Luo Dasi felt a little dazed, looked left and right, but did not see any teacher who looked like an adult, that is to say, it was Rui Ya who was teaching these students.

Looking at Ruiya who looked younger than everyone else present, Rhodes: "..."

------

Rhea felt like everyone was looking at her.

The hand holding the book trembled unconsciously, my body was covered with cold sweat, my breathing was difficult, and I didn't even know what I was talking about.

Mingming made an agreement with his mother that he would give good lectures to the new school children, take this opportunity to exercise himself, and get rid of the nervous stuttering problem when speaking in front of others, but it still didn't work.

Ruiya's eyes wandered, and she met Taersa who was sitting in the first row. The other party looked impatient and her eyes were full of disdain.

She hurriedly moved away, and accidentally looked into the eyes of Eluil who was sitting behind. The princess from Acht City looked calm and friendly, but for some reason, she was far more disturbing than the proud Talsa. .

Ruiya whispered the content she had prepared a long time ago, and she was so frustrated that she wanted to cry.

I can't even do a good job in lecturing in a small classroom, how to inherit my mother's position in the future, and how to hold a sacrificial ceremony for the temple under the watchful eyes of the people of Kadela.

Can the great goddess Rhodes really accept such a useless priest?

After class, Ruiya ran away in a hurry, and she could still hear the schoolchildren laughing and imitating her stuttering voice from behind.

She thought sadly:

"Forgive me, please don't dislike me."

"Goddess of the Yilu River, what should I do to be worthy of your sacred priesthood..."

With this in mind, Ruiya didn't go to teach the schoolchildren in the afternoon, she went to the library to shut herself up.

The books that recorded all the folk stories about the great goddess that she had been fascinated by in the past seemed to be less attractive. Her mind was full of failures in school.

The more she thought about it, the more she hated herself, Ruiya put the book aside carefully, buried her head in her arms, sobbed softly, and fell asleep crying.

When Rhodes came to the library as usual and was about to make persistent efforts to float up to the third floor, he saw the little priest sleeping with half of his face buried on his knees.

Rhodes paused.

Do you want to go and have a look?

Rhodes hesitated for a moment, but still floated towards the little priest, ready to see if he could enter her dream.

The result is yes, as the daughter of the chief priest of the Cadella Temple, Rhea is also a loyal believer of the River Goddess, and her faith shines like her mother.

Just before the scene changed, Luotas suddenly thought of the little princess, and felt guilty for no reason.

Strange, she asked the priestess to help take care of the little princess, of course, she should pay attention to the other party's daughter, there is nothing wrong, why should she feel guilty.

Rhodes opened his eyes confidently in the little priest's dream.

Different from the various clear backgrounds in Eleuil's dream, Ruiya's dream is oppressive and vague, gray and sad.

The little priest crouched in the corner of the dream, like a pitiful mushroom.

Suddenly she stood up, holding the book of praise that the priestess never left, and tried to recite it aloud surrounded by a circle of gray shadows. She was fluent at first, but she started to make mistakes after reading a few sentences.

The gray shadows immediately became arrogant, clapping their hands and laughing, imitating her mistakes.

As a result, Ruiya's voice became smaller and smaller, and she stuttered more often. She refused to continue after reading a song of praise, and squatted down again to play the role of mushroom.

At this moment, the figure of the priestess appeared beside her, with a serious expression exactly the same as in reality.

She only said one sentence: "Riya, you really let me down."

The lethality of this sentence is stronger than that group of gray shadows combined, Ruiya suddenly raised her head, crying profusely.

"I'm sorry, mother, I can't help it, I'm sorry—"

Everyone has something they are afraid of or are not good at. The situation of the little priest seems normal to Rhodes, but for Rhea herself and her strict mother, this shortcoming is fatal.

The temple priests in Solancia are hereditary. Except for the highest-ranking high priest who needs to pass many tests to be selected, the position of high priest in each city is passed down from generation to generation.

From mother to daughter, from father to son, regardless of blood or adoption, as long as there is no misfortune or felony in the family, this transmission will not be terminated.

Therefore, Ruiya is destined to inherit the Cadella Temple. One day, she will preside over the sacrificial ceremony in full view. What should I do then?

Rhodes didn't think that one had to overcome this obstacle, but Rhea's identity required it, and so did her desire to become a qualified priest.

The intention is set, and Rhodes appears in front of Ruiya.

"Lift up, my worshiper," said the spirit.

The little priest suddenly felt that it was not so dark in front of her eyes. She raised her head in confusion, and saw the god she believed in standing in front of her, and the faint soft light surrounding her dispelled the gloom.

She could hardly believe her eyes.

"Goddess Rhodes! Am I dreaming..." Ruiya pinched her arm in a daze, but it didn't hurt.

It was indeed a dream.

Luo Dasi said inscrutablely: "Dreams do not necessarily mean falsehood, just like what people think is not necessarily true."

Ruiya seems to understand, but she still knows one thing, that is, in front of her eyes is indeed the goddess she has seen in the shrine room.

The first reaction was surprise, but then it turned to fear.

The little priest bowed his head deeply: "Are you here to punish me?"

Rhodes was startled: "Why do you think so?"

"I'm too stupid, I can't learn how to speak in front of others, and I will mess up your ceremony in the future."

"You just said it very well."

Ah, praised by the goddess.

Ruiya's eyes lit up, and then she thought of something, and she languished again: "Only in front of your god statue and mother can I speak well, and I can't do anything well in front of others."

Rhodes: "You can do it."

Ruiya whispered, "Do you believe me?"

"Yes, I believe." Rhodes smiled, "What's more, it's not a bad thing not to like words, even if you don't say a word at my ceremony, I'm still happy, because your soul is as shining as your faith Hui."

After saying this, Luo Dasi escaped from the dreamland familiarly, and a few words were enough. If he said more and became a spiritual teacher, what kind of god would he be?

Ruiya woke up, thinking about those words of Rhodes in a daze, her eyes lit up a little bit, she ran out of the library quickly, and wanted to tell her mother about today's legendary experience.

Halfway through the run, she stopped again.

No, I can't say it yet.

Wait until she can speak in front of others fluently and live up to the trust of the powerful and gentle god, and then tell her mother, she will be proud of her.

So the little priest's footsteps became steady again.

At this time, Aleuil was sitting in the classroom, accidentally raised his eyes and looked out the window, and saw the whole process of Ruiya's transformation from sprinting to walking in small steps.

It was very boring, so she looked away, wondering why she suddenly felt slightly uncomfortable just now, and she didn't think of the little priest outside the window at all.
