How to wear a goddess statue

Everyone in Wash City is preparing for the celebration, and shops specializing in selling cloth and ready-made clothes are no exception. The main raw materials for the production of gauze and cloth—flax and cotton—come from the planting activities on the ground, and they are sent to the ground every year. The days when the gods pray are also important festivals for them.

But this time, the operator of the most prestigious clothing store in the city did not put all his mind on praying to God like his colleagues.

Pray to the gods, as long as there is enough sincerity, it is acceptable to go through a few steps less procedures... Right now she has more important things, such as negotiating a big deal with the caravan passing through Vash.

The shop operator smiled and said, "It's our honor to be able to cooperate with your caravan."

The owner of the caravan nodded happily: "I should be the one to say this. Your home's ready-made clothes are so exquisite and beautiful, and they will definitely be loved by the nobles of Acht. Don't dislike our small caravan by then. "

"Thank you for your auspicious words." The clothes shop operator covered his mouth and smiled, obviously in a good mood, "I'm not boasting, my clothes making skills are famous in several nearby cities, and the wives and daughters of the city lord will only wear my clothes. The dress, other houses don’t even look at it!”

The owner of the caravan gave a sincere compliment, and then casually asked: "Are you familiar with the daughter of the city lord?"

"It's still reasonable, after all, I have to deliver clothes every now and then."

"Hey, I heard that the daughters of the city lord are among the best beauties, but it's a pity that we haven't met each other until now." The businessman sighed, "However, I was lucky enough to meet the young city lord Kopal. It’s very beautiful, and it must have come from your family.”

The shop owner was stunned, as if he didn't expect that the topic would turn to Kopal, hesitatingly said: "It is indeed..."

Businessman: "Let me just say, what kind of person is that young city lord?"

The store owner's eyes flickered.

The businessman smiled and stuffed a good-looking agate into her hand without any trace.

The owner of the clothes shop suddenly smiled: "Master Kopal, strictly speaking, he is not considered a young city lord, but the city lord has no other sons. Even if he doesn't now, he will sooner or later."

"He doesn't like to talk very much, he hates being approached by strangers, and he doesn't even talk to his father much, and I haven't spoken a few words to him."

"It's no wonder the Lord City Lord treated him delicately at the banquet."

"No, no, that's not the root cause." The owner of the clothes shop thought about it, and probably felt that it was nothing to say, so he lowered his voice and said, "Let's not talk about the city lord, other nobles are not too warm to Master Kopal. Woolen cloth."

Speaking of this, the owner of the clothes shop showed a contempt that she might not even be aware of: "It can't be helped, after all, Master Kopal's mother is a slave."

Kopal is the only "son" of the Santo and also his eighth child.

Lord Vash has a wife and many concubines, besides, his lovers also include female officials, dancing girls and one or two romantic noble ladies, but they have no sons under their knees.

The city lord was very anxious about this, and made a lot of efforts back and forth, but he couldn't get what he wanted until he got older. In desperation, he had no choice but to focus on Kopal.

Kopal was the son of a slave girl.

In this era, slaves are not treated as human beings, they are just tools or animals, they are private property, and they can be treated as they want.

But if a child with half the blood of a slave is produced, that would be a disgraceful thing. Even if the other nobles would not say anything in person, they would definitely ridicule them in private.

Because of this, even if City Lord Vash had to bring Kopal with him to teach him, he still didn't have a good look at him.

"Anyway, before Master Kopal was ten years old, no one had heard of his name." The owner of the clothes shop said dryly, took a sip of water, and continued to say enthusiastically, "If the city lord can have other Son, I'm afraid this young master will lose power immediately, it's really pitiful."

The businessman nodded and secretly wrote down every word she said.

Then, the businessman brought the topic to bandits outside the city, but the owner of the clothes shop was rather dazed and didn't know about it.

After bidding farewell to the owner of the clothes shop, the businessman went to several shops one after another.

When asked about Kopal, most of the merchants knew only a little about it, and the few who knew it spoke roughly the same as the owner of the clothing store, with only a little difference in details.

About bandits, they know even less.

Someone casually mentioned: "I remember that people tried to break into the city lord's mansion the year before last, clamoring for the city lord to send troops to suppress the bandits. Isn't this just out of nothing?"

"You know, all the caravans that have done business with us praise the safety and reliability of Vash City. No caravan has ever been looted outside the city!"

merchant:"……"

Too bad we were attacked only two days ago.

But due to many considerations, he still didn't say it out loud.

It's just that there were no rumors of bandits before, and the fact that their caravan was attacked outside the city has not spread here. It seems that the Lord of Vashi deliberately blocked the news.

On the surface, the businessman returned to his residence to rest after talking about cooperation, but in fact, he secretly passed all the collected information to the princess as soon as he returned.

After tidying up, Eleuil closed his eyes and thought.

On the paper in front of her, she simply drew a few lines and words to clarify the situation in front of her.

At this moment, Rhodes came in from the door.

Sit down beside the princess, and put a ball of paper on the table.

"Someone gave it to me."

Rhodes said concisely.

Every time Luo Dasi went to a city, he would go to see the local temple. Most of the time, he floated in as a spirit body to visit, and this time was no exception.

As soon as he came back, he saw a maid passing by their room, her eyes imperceptibly glanced at the door. Luotus noticed something strange and stopped to observe.

In less than a minute, the waitress turned around and passed by again.

Lotus silently transformed into a physical body in a secluded place, wanting to go over to see what the maid was planning.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she appeared, the waitress' eyes lit up, and she walked past Rhodes with steady steps, and at the same time quickly stuffed a ball of paper into her hand.

Eleuil focused on the wrong thing: "Sai?"

"Yes, the action is very subtle."

The princess felt that her mind was divided into two halves, one half was calmly thinking about whether it was an opportunity or a scam, and the other half was muttering unhappily, complaining about the recklessness of the maid she had never met.

Aleuil remembered very clearly that since the incarnation of the gods, he had not touched anyone other than himself, not even getting close, but not now.

Paper balls... This action always touches a point, right?

hateful.

As soon as this thought flashed across, Eleuil temporarily pressed it down with his rationality, allowing the half of his thinking that was in charge of deliberation to work properly.

She opened the ball of paper, and there was a line of letters written on it:

"At three o'clock tonight, I will come to visit."

The ancient Solan people timed the day and night separately, with twelve o'clock in the day and twelve o'clock in the night. According to this timekeeping method, three o'clock in the night is roughly equivalent to nine o'clock in the modern day.

Quite late for an age without electric lights and electronic entertainment.

Aleuil stared at the note, the corners of his mouth twitched.

The final signature of the note was Kopal, and a strange prefix was added: "Admiring Your Highness".

Intellectually understand that this is probably the other party's little trick, pretending to be a date invitation, in case the note falls into the hands of the Lord Vash, it can also excuse the boy's mind to get rid of suspicion.

But holding such a thing in front of Rhodes still made the princess feel delicate, and she couldn't help but want to raise her eyes to see the reaction of the gods.

Are you surprised?

Or is it possible to feel unhappy, even just a little?

Rhodes didn't notice it: "Kopal is very cautious, but it's a bit strange that she is so eager to contact her... What's wrong?"

Eleuil: "...nothing."

She sighed inwardly.

------

At three o'clock that night, someone knocked on the window outside.

Aleuil opened the window, and saw a person slipping in neatly.

"Meet you again, Your Highness." Kopal looked calm, and then turned his head to greet Rhodes, "You too, Miss Lady."

Kopal is indeed a cautious and observant man.

At the banquet, Eleuil did not show a special attitude towards Rhodes, but she noticed, otherwise there would be no need to greet a female officer who was in charge of taking care of the princess.

The princess nodded: "Young City Lord."

Kopal shrugged: "You should know that I haven't lost the name of the city lord yet."

"It's actually enough."

"It really makes me very happy to be affirmed by His Highness."

The two laughed very... how should I put it, very official.

Rhodes set his eyes on Kopal, and upon closer inspection, he found that this girl dressed as a teenager was well disguised in every way.

The throat is well covered by the bow tie of the cloak. It seems that makeup is deliberately used to make the facial contours look more distinct. There are a little edges and corners, and the darker complexion can't conceal the delicate appearance.

At this time, Kopal had no idea that his disguise had been seen through long ago, and he was still speaking solemnly with a false voice that was biased toward a juvenile voice.

The princess didn't say a few words, and cut straight to the topic.

"You performed a play in front of my deputy army commander, how did you expect her to follow?"

Kopal didn't expect the other party to be so direct, so he paused and said, "I'm not sure, I just think it's possible."

Eleuil raised an eyebrow.

Kopal said calmly: "I'm more sensitive to other people's eyes. You and the female officer next to you have extra attention. I feel it, and I want to try to convey a little news to you."

"Why me?" Eleuil remained motionless, "If I remember correctly, you should be seeing me for the first time."

Whatever Kopal’s intentions, it would have been too aggressive to convey this information to someone she met for the first time, especially since it exposed connections to her father’s staff, which was completely different from the caution she displayed in the note.

"Before answering, please allow me to ask a question—is His Highness really injured?"

Eleuil smiled, the answer was obvious.

"Okay, I believe you. Because I have to seize this opportunity." Kopal smiled bitterly, "You should have inquired about me, yes, my mother is a slave, and my father doesn't value me. For his stain."

Eleuil asked: "You have been facing this situation for several years, why are you suddenly anxious now?"

Kopal said frankly: "Because I got the news that one of my father's concubines was pregnant, and he didn't intend to let me know."

She paused and sneered: "I know that if it's a boy this time, he will get rid of me without anyone noticing."

The author has something to say:

A small theater that has nothing to do with the text——

2612: Did Rhodes see the signature?Is she jealous?

Rhodes (seriously): This girl is very cautious.

2612: ...Are you really not the wood god?

Thanks to the little cutie who throws thunder, and compares my heart!
