How to wear a goddess statue

Aleuil walked back to the room alone, his expression seemed to be the same as usual, but there was a gloomy look in his eyes.

After discovering that Ruiya also had the experience of a spirit falling into a dream, it became a matter of course to tell all the details calmly. Ruiya people are very simple, and they are covered up nervously after all the words are covered.

Even such a little priest who doesn't know anything can see the Lord Rhodes in his dream, be gently encouraged and comforted, and even say "I believe in you" himself, even though it is only once.

Something was stuck in his chest, and his heart was beating like in a ball of cotton, so dull that he couldn't breathe.

She thought she was special.

Aleuil suddenly stopped in her tracks, she was still holding the reed pen for answering questions in her hand, as if she was trying to grab something, the protruding nodules on the pen made her palms hurt, but she squeezed it hard. Tighter, wanting to use the slight pain to wake myself up.

It's time to wake up.What are you thinking about, Eleuil, do you want to monopolize the favor of the gods?

This is what Rhodes saw when he floated back from the outside.

She didn't actually hear the conversation between the two children.

Halfway through the test, Rhodes had already left the temple, because she was a little concerned about the rumors she heard on the way back at noon, and she had to hear the specific version before she could rest assured.

As a result, as soon as he returned to the little princess, he found that the other party had stopped by the side of the road for a long time, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

It seems that she is not very happy... Is it because the exam questions were unexpected, or did she also hear the news from Ahcht City?

Rhodes floated around the little princess twice before Eleuil continued to move forward, and the little gloom that had been exuding just now completely subsided.

Back in the room, Aleuil practiced calligraphy with a reed pen for a long time. After the light in the room went dark, he didn't stop, but lit the oil lamp to continue practicing.

At this time, she didn't want to face the mountains of books in the dream, it would only make people more upset.

However, it didn't take long before reason overwhelmed emotion, and the little princess got up to tidy up expressionlessly, turned off the light and climbed into bed.

Before falling asleep completely, she raised her hand to hold the amulet hanging on her chest, and touched the blue chalcedony bead that Rhodes gave her with her fingertips.

------

Late at night, the moon and stars are rare.

The bright moonlight shone on the open space in front of the house, like a pool of water. Suddenly, a black shadow appeared under the moonlight, breaking the harmony of the night scene.

The black shadow opened the window silently, lifted the curtain and rolled over without making a sound. Following his movements, the moonlight briefly shone into the room, illuminating the peaceful sleeping face of the little princess.

The person approached slowly and stopped by the bed for a few seconds. He raised a dagger high, the blade flashed brightly in the darkness, and then stabbed heavily——

Missed the target.

The moment before the dagger fell, the little princess rolled aside, and the dagger pierced deeply into the bed.

Taking advantage of the momentary astonishment of the visitor, she swiped the dagger out of under the pillow at some point in time, severing her throat with one blow, as ruthlessly as if she had rehearsed it thousands of times.

The confrontation only took place in just two seconds. The visitor let out a hoarse hoarse sound from his throat, instinctively raised his hand, covered the wound in vain, struggled twice and fell backwards.

Aleuil lit the oil lamp, waited for the opponent to die, and slowly picked up the assassin's own dagger to make him a few blows before going forward to check the corpse.

After tearing off the cloth towel that covered the assassin's face, under the light was an ordinary face with a pale complexion. He didn't wear anything that could represent his identity, but Eleuil knew what the forces behind him were.

"The ghost is still there, what are you doing now?"

Eleuil lowered his eyes and muttered a little irritably.

Rhodes is also thinking about the same question.

The little princess has been in the temple for three years, and she was not assassinated when she first came. Why did the other party suddenly attack today?

Could it be because of the big event that happened in Wangcheng... But it has nothing to do with it. After that event happened, the other party should feel more at ease, so why did it become difficult for them to initiate.

Rhodes frowned, and decided to think about it later, her eyes fell on the little princess, implying worry.

The first one to discover the assassin was of course Rhodes. When she saw the abnormal situation outside the door, she immediately broke Eleuil's dream and woke her up. She was also smart enough to wait patiently without even a single breath. Assassin got close to kill with one blow.

The process was simple and neat, but it was the first time the little princess killed someone.

Of course, it was also the first time that Luotus saw someone die in front of her, and her mood did not fluctuate. This is also the result of the fusion of divinity, which is unexpected and reasonable.

Compared to this, she was more worried about the psychological state of the little princess.

Therefore, Rhodes watched as Eleuil snorted and calmly wiped the blood splattered on her face. She dragged the assassin's body to the wall and nodded her chin, obviously thinking about what to do. How to deal with it.

Rhodes: "..."

I see the little princess acting like a baby so much on weekdays that I almost forget that she is a ferocious wolf cub. However, it is better to be cruel to others than to be cruel to yourself.

On the other side, the little princess also came up with a countermeasure.

She hid her dagger, ruffled her long hair that was a little messy when she slept, then took a deep breath, and let out an earth-shattering scream. Because it was too sharp, there was a little broken sound at the end.

This scream almost woke up the people in the entire temple, and there was a commotion in the vicinity, and the lights were lit up one after another in the small courtyards. The adults gathered around here with oil lamps, wanting to see what happened.

"The one who made the sound must be Her Royal Highness."

"Hiss, it seems to be true!"

"Hurry up and take a look..."

These people gathered outside the small courtyard, poking their heads to look in, but no one dared to go in first, until the priestess in pajamas rushed over, and they swarmed into the courtyard after the priestess.

Pushing open the door, everyone saw the little princess standing by the bed covering her face and weeping. The priestess felt relieved when she saw that she was still safe.

As she stepped forward quickly, she asked, "What's the matter, why did Your Highness suddenly—"

The voice of the priestess stopped abruptly, and the assassin's corpse leaning against the corner came into view, causing her pupils to constrict suddenly, and she turned around without hesitation and shouted: "Everyone get out! Don't come in without my permission!"

The priestess has absolute prestige in the Kadella Temple, and the people who were about to follow looked at each other, but followed her order to leave the courtyard.

The priestess closed the door, ran to Eleuil, held her shoulders and looked up and down. The large blood stains on the little princess's clothes were shocking, but fortunately no wound was found.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." No one else was present, and Aleuil put down his hands covering his eyes, but there was no tear in the corner of his eyes, obviously he was crying fake just now.

Her tone was calm and calm: "This is an assassin. I was too frightened and lost control of my emotions. Please take me away and ask someone to come over and clean up his body."

The priestess immediately understood the situation and said without hesitation, "Okay, where are you going, I will arrange the room for you again."

The little princess paused: "No need...take me to the shrine room."

The priestess complied.

In the sacrificial room, Aleuil looked up at the statue, as if she noticed the blood stains on her body at this time, she pursed her lips and said to the priestess: "Please bring me a clean dress. "

"Okay." The priestess nodded and left quickly, and soon brought back the clothes of the little princess and a thick fluffy cushion. Before leaving, she asked worriedly: "Do you have any other needs?" ?”

Aleuil shook his head lightly: "Lock the door and don't come in until I come out, is that okay?"

"But tomorrow's morning sacrifice..."

"This is the will conveyed to me by the great goddess Rhodes."

The priestess immediately swallowed the second half of the sentence and saluted: "I will follow the goddess' wishes."

The doors and windows were locked, the curtains were lowered, and the candles engraved with golden patterns on the altar gave off soft light. At this moment, the sacred sacrificial room became a safe and independent space.

Aleuil held the clothes, with a tangled look on his face, ran to the back of the statue and changed his outfit, then turned out as if nothing had happened, and put the blood-stained old clothes in the corner farthest from the statue.

She took off the amulet, held it in the palm of her hand, and whispered in a tone like a complaint: "Someone is going to assassinate your most loyal believer, so even if it is not a water day, please meet me."

After finishing speaking, the little princess spread the fluffy cushion under the statue's feet, curled up on it, closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep.The first time she took the initiative to invite the gods to sleep, her heart beat a little faster in her chest.

however--

5 minutes passed.

A quarter of an hour passed.

Half an hour passed.

Aleuil opened his eyes suddenly: "..."

She usually falls asleep quickly, but today is the time when she needs to fall asleep quickly, but she can't fall asleep anyway.

No, I have to fall asleep quickly, and I can't keep Goddess Rhodes waiting too long.

Rhodes didn't wait long, watching the little princess tossing and turning was not boring at all, but when she thought about what the child had gone through tonight, she couldn't help sighing.

… Even if you acted calmly to kill someone yourself, your heart would still be touched to some extent, and insomnia was unavoidable.

What's more, this was the first time in the past three years that the little princess made a request outside of the water day.

Rhodes raised his hand, and his translucent palm lightly patted the little princess's head.

The people of Gusoran believed that the water flow has the power to calm people's hearts, which also became her "power". Therefore, Eleuil's expression quickly calmed down, and her breathing became longer.

Unless she deliberately plays ignorance in front of others, the little princess always looks more mature and stable than other children, and only when she is asleep, she will unconsciously reveal an innocent appearance that matches her age.

Rhodes smiled, tapped the tip of the little princess's nose, and smoothly sank into the dreamland that was already familiar as his own back garden.

The author has something to say:

Rhodes: Ah, I'm sure I won't be able to sleep when I see blood, poor child.

2612: The first time I took the initiative to see the goddess, I was a little nervous and couldn't sleep. The goddess would think I was late, right?
