How to wear a goddess statue

Although the two sides knew that they were opposed to each other, they still had to do some superficial work. The next day, Lord Vash invited everyone to a banquet.

These few days are in the preparation stage for the celebration of the God of the Earth. The situation is quite special. The local residents must return home before dark and are not allowed to go out.

Therefore, the banquet that should have been arranged in the evening was put at noon.

If it is said that the banquet arranged by the Lord Eluleila is well-regulated and follows the etiquette and can be directly used as a government affairs meeting by changing the topic, then the luncheon held by the Lord Vasher is more of a fun nature, full of extravagance and extravagance unique to aristocratic gatherings.

The ground was covered with solid-color woolen blankets. Around this open space, people sat at separate tables, with two people sitting in one place.

The waiters served dishes and fruit drinks, and then a group of dancing girls walked in from outside the door, dancing to the accompaniment of two young harp players.

The dancers who can appear on this kind of occasion are either quite beautiful or have superb dancing skills. These people obviously have both.

For a while, everyone present did not speak. While starting to eat, they listened to the piano music and watched the dancers turn around and dance.

Rhodes needs to take care of the princess who "was unable to lift her arm when she was shot by an arrow". In order to achieve a realistic effect, she forked a piece of roasted pigeon and brought it to Eleuil's lips, and thoughtfully said: "Your Highness, try this. "

The operation of feeding has not been discussed in advance, but it is still necessary. In front of the people in Vash City, Rhodes is positioned as the personal servant of the princess, responsible for taking care of the injured princess.

Eleuil, who was caught off guard by being fed by the gods, was almost stunned. Fortunately, she still remembered the current occasion, biting the pigeon meat calmly and without any abnormality.

This dish was cooked just right, but she didn't focus on it at all. The satisfaction overwhelmed the deliciousness of the pigeon itself. Eleuil ate it cherishingly, and welcomed another date palm.

It turns out that as an injured patient, there is such a treatment!

The queen realized it.

At this time, the sound of the harp slowly dissipated, and the show prepared by the dancers was over. Instead of retreating, they walked to one of the banquet participants, knelt down, and poured wine for them.

There was no dancing girl beside the princess, but as soon as City Lord Vash clapped his hands, he saw the two young men playing the harp approaching one from the left and the other from the right, reaching out to pick up the flagon.

Aleuil, who was still immersed in satisfaction just now: "..."

She turned cold and asked, "What does the city lord mean?"

City Lord Vash: "Of course it's a gift for His Highness, don't you like drinking?"

Aleuil twitched the corner of his mouth: "I appreciate the kindness of the city lord. I am injured and cannot drink alcohol."

The Lord of Vashi seemed to be very sorry and said: "I didn't think carefully, I didn't think carefully, I thought that His Highness has stayed at the border for a long time, and there is no taboo against drinking."

The princess snorted and glanced at the two harp players. They were frightened by the cold eyes, and they looked at each other, not daring to approach.

The city lord waved his hand, and the two of them exited the hall as if they were being pardoned.

Luo Dasi was very calm, and when the princess and the city lord were talking, she sat aside and said nothing. After the conversation, she continued to feed the princess, paying special attention to the combination of meat and vegetables.

City Lord Vash looked at it, but dispelled some doubts.

He also knew that the princess had made many achievements on the frontier battlefield, and she was a famous figure anyway. It was probably impossible to let the female officer feed her on such occasions, otherwise, who would save her face.

"Oh, I don't seem to have introduced my only son to Your Highness." City Lord Vash patted his forehead suddenly as if remembering something, and pointed to a young man sitting at the bottom, "He is about the same age as you, young people should There are more common topics, come on, Kopal, why don't you greet Your Royal Highness?"

The young man named Kopal was small and thin with a handsome face. He didn't seem to expect that he would be called by name, so he was taken aback before whispering: "I've seen Your Highness."

The Lord of Vash's face was gloomy, and he looked at Eleuil, ignoring his son, and Kopal seemed to be very used to being treated like a transparent person, and he bowed his head to eat by himself.

Aleuil subconsciously observed the situation on the other side.

Kopal is the only son of the city lord, but he sits further back than many of his subordinates. Not only is the city lord's attitude lukewarm, but other people don't get close to him, as if there is a vacuum around him.

Rhodes followed her gaze and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Ai Lu."

Aleuil responded softly: "Well, I'm listening."

Luo Dasi's expression was subtle: "Kopal is a little bit out of harmony, I'm not sure, but...he may not be the son of the city lord."

Princess: "..."

She couldn't help but compared the similarity between the faces of Lord Vash and Kopal, only to find that they were not very similar.

Luo Dasi's words were originally very serious, but seeing Ailuil's thoughtful expression, he knew that she was thinking wrong, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "That's not what I meant, I'll talk about it when I get back."

Because of the words of the gods, Eleuil diverted his attention to Kopal.

In the middle of the banquet, Kopal got up and left.

The other people in Vash City didn't care about his whereabouts, Aleuil thought about it, and winked at Lena.

Mortis and Luca also noticed this look. When the two were still looking back in a daze, Lena nodded knowingly, found an excuse to leave the hall, and followed Kopal.

Whenever this kind of eye contact is needed, Eleuil will only look for Lena. After all, giving eyes to several other people is more likely to be self-defeating.

The banquet was coming to an end, and the two who had left did not come back.

Aleuil procrastinated by discussing the sale of the caravan, until Lena quietly returned to her original position, the princess ended the discussion in a few words and led the group back to the residence.

After confirming that no one was watching, Eleuil asked directly, "What did you hear?"

Lena said seriously: "Bandit."

"Bandits? Does the son of the city lord have anything to do with those bandits?"

"No, he wanted to deal with bandits." Lena tried hard to recall what she saw and heard, "After he left the banquet, he met a girl in a secluded place. The girl was dressed as a slave and asked him Has the city lord put suppression of bandits on the agenda?"

"Kopal said not yet, but promised to try his best to persuade her father. Then the girl suddenly lost control and cried for a while. Kopal kept comforting her."

Speaking of this, Lena's expression was slightly weird: "I was worried that I would miss some important information, so I didn't dare to leave. I listened to them crying and coaxing each other for a long time, and waited until the girl stopped crying and was sent away. That’s all, and I saw…”

At that time, Lena hid behind a small rockery in the garden, maintaining a distance where she could hear voices without being discovered.

There is a small hole at the bottom of the rockery, and you can vaguely see the opposite scene. Lena turned her right eye to the hole and watched with bated breath.

The sound of the slave girl sobbing in a low voice gradually faded away, and Kopal stood alone under the tree, arms folded, standing quietly.

Lena waited for a moment, thinking that there was nothing else worthy of attention, and just about to turn around and walk away quietly, she saw a man approaching Kopal, looking around vigilantly, and saluted.

When it comes to memorizing human faces, Lena thinks she is a bit talented.

She clearly remembered that this man was one of the staff who followed City Lord Vash yesterday, and judging by his position, he could barely be regarded as a confidant.

When Kopal spoke, his tone was not as gentle as when he was talking to the slave girl, nor was he as cautious as at the banquet.

"Has father done anything in the past two days?"

The aide said: "Yes, but it has nothing to do with Vash's affairs. He has his eyes on the princess."

"Princess." Kopal took two steps, and suddenly raised his voice slightly, "If I remember correctly, the caravan of the princess encountered bandits outside the city?"

"That's right, that His Highness was injured by bandits."

Kopal didn't say a word, and said after a long time: "Continue to watch for me, if there is any movement of father, tell me as soon as possible."

Staff: "Yes, please rest assured."

Then, they each walked in opposite directions. After listening to the whole process, Lena had an idea before rushing back to the banquet hall.

After listening to the narration of the deputy army chief, Aleuil tapped on the table with his knuckles, thoughtfully.

"You said, you are hiding behind a rockery."

Lena is very confident in herself: "Yes, I was not discovered by the other party, and I cleaned up the traces before leaving."

Eleuil had a half-smile: "It's true that Kopal didn't notice you, but he knew someone was there."

Lena was startled: "How could that be?"

"Kopal is from the City Lord's Mansion. He is more familiar with this garden than you. How could he choose a place near a rockery where people can hide when he talks about secret matters?" Eleuil said softly, "He knows someone is following , Those words were probably meant for me.”

"Then is what he said still believable?" Lena asked hesitantly.

Aleuil recalled the attitude of everyone in Vash City towards Kopal at the banquet, and pondered for a while: "It is highly likely to be credible, we can try to get in touch."

Saying that, Eleuil paused with his fingertips and turned to the caravan owner.

"When you passed by Vash City in the past, did you encounter bandits?"

The businessman said: "There used to be some small thieves, but I haven't seen them in recent years."

"The last few years." Eleuil repeated, then nodded, "I have an idea, for verification, the news about Kopal and the rumors about bandits... I'll ask you to inquire about these."

The owner of the caravan waved his hand: "What is this, why should you be polite, Your Highness."

After the discussion came to an end, several people walked out of the room to perform their duties, only Rhodes and Eleuil stayed in the room.

Rotas was turning the bracelet in thought, when he raised his eyes by chance, he saw the princess looking at her with some eagerly waiting eyes.

Luotus guessed: "Didn't you get full just now?"

Aleuil struggled to balance, thinking that even if he said he hadn't eaten enough, the gods would not feed them himself, so he said: "No, you said at the banquet that Kopal is not the son of the city lord—"

"Oh." Luotus suddenly realized, "It's really not, she is the daughter of the city lord."

Aleuil really didn't expect this, his eyes widened, his round black pupils were completely exposed, like a cat stunned.

"She dresses up very well, but I can feel some incongruity, and her aura is not right." Laudas paused, "It's just that I can't be sure whether the Lord Vash is aware of her true gender."

According to the information they found in advance, the city lord of Vash has nearly ten daughters, and there is only one "son" like Kopal. If it is said that he let his daughter pretend to be a man to inherit the position of the city lord, it would make sense.

If so, the attitude of the city lord can still be explained, but what is the reason for the contempt of those subordinates?

Could it be that the city lord will let everyone know that he ordered his daughter to disguise himself as a man?

Aleuil's intuition is not that simple.
