How To Wear a Goddess Statue
Chapter 49: signal at lunch
Although the two sides knew that they were opposed to each other, they still had to work on the surface. The next day, the city lord of Vash invited everyone to a banquet.
These days are in the preparation stage for the celebration of the God of the Earth, the situation is special, the local residents must return home before dark, and are not allowed to go out.
Therefore, the banquet that was supposed to be in the evening was put at noon.
If the banquet arranged by the city lord of Iluolaila is well-organized and follows the etiquette, and changing the topic can directly serve as a government affairs meeting, then the luncheon of the city lord Vash is more of a fun nature, full of the unique characteristics of aristocratic gatherings The lavish and extravagant, intoxicated with money.
The floor was covered with a solid-colored woolen blanket, surrounding this open space, and everyone sat at the table, with two people sitting in one place.
The attendant brought the dishes and fruit drinks, and then a group of dancers strode from the door, dancing gracefully with the accompaniment of two young harpists.
The dancers who can appear on such occasions are either beautiful or have superb dancing skills. These people obviously have both.
For a while, everyone present did not speak, and while they began to eat, they listened to the music and watched the dancers spin.
Luodus needs to take care of the princess who "can't lift her arm even after being hit by an arrow". In order to make the effect realistic, she forked a piece of roast pigeon and sent it to Eleuil's lips, being considerate Said: "Your Highness try this."
Eliuil, who was caught off guard by being fed by the gods, almost froze in place, but fortunately, she still remembered the current occasion, biting the pigeon meat calmly and without any abnormality.
This dish was cooked just right, but her mind was not on it at all. The satisfaction overwhelmed the deliciousness of the pigeon itself. date palm.
It turns out that there is such a treatment as a wounded!
The princess realized.
At this time, the sound of the harp slowly dissipated, and the show prepared by the dancers had ended. Pour wine for them.
There was no dancer beside the princess, but as soon as the city lord Vash clapped his hands, he saw the two young people playing the harp coming over from left to right, reaching out to pick up the jug.
Eleuil who was still immersed in contentment just now: "…"
She lowered her face and asked, "What does the city lord mean?"
Wash City Lord: "Of course it's a gift for His Royal Highness, don't you like drinking?"
Eleuil moved the corners of his mouth: "The city lord's good intentions have led me, I am injured now and can't drink."
The city lord of Vash seemed to be very apologetic and said: "I didn't think about it carefully, I thought I didn't think about it carefully, I thought that His Highness had been at the border for a long time, and there was no taboo on drinking."
The princess hummed and glanced at the two harpists. They were frightened by the cold eyes, looked at each other and did not dare to approach.
The city lord waved his hand, and the two of them exited the hall as if they were amnesty.
Luodus was very calm. When the princess and the city lord exchanged words, she sat on the side without saying a word. After the conversation ended, she continued to feed the princess, and also paid special attention to the combination of meat and vegetables.
Wash City Lord looked at it, but he dispelled some doubts.
He also knows that the princess has made a lot of achievements in the frontier battlefield, and she is also a famous person. It is probably impossible to let the female official feed the food on this occasion, otherwise who can save face.
"Oh, I don't seem to have introduced my only son to His Highness." City Lord Vash patted his forehead suddenly as if remembering something, and pointed at a teenager sitting on the lower head, "He You are about the same age as you, so young people should have more in common, come on, Kopar, why don't you greet Her Royal Highness?"
The Lord Vash's face darkened slightly, he looked at Eleuil, ignoring his son, and Kopal seemed to be used to this kind of treatment like a transparent person, bowing his head to himself Dine.
Eleuil subconsciously observes the situation opposite.
Kepal is the only son of the city lord, but he sits further back than many of his subordinates. Not only is the city lord lukewarm, but other people are not very close to him, just like his side It's like a vacuum circle.
Luodus followed her gaze and squinted slightly.
"Aleu."
Eleuil replied softly: "Well, I'm listening."
Luodus' expression was subtle: "Kepal is a little out of step, I'm not sure, but... he may not be the son of the city lord."
Princess: "…"
She couldn't help but compare the similarities of the faces of Lord Vash and Kepar, and found that they were not very similar.
Luodasi's language was originally very serious, but when she saw Eliuer's thoughtful expression, she knew that she was thinking crooked, and she couldn't help crying and laughing: "That's not what it meant, I'll talk about it later."
Because of the words of the gods, Eleuil divided her attention and put it on Kopal.
In the middle of the banquet, Kopal got up and left.
Other people in Vash City didn't care about his whereabouts, Eleuil thought about it, and winked at Lena.
Mortis and Luca also noticed this look. When the two were still looking back blankly, Lena nodded lightly and made an excuse to leave the hall , followed behind Kopal.
Whenever this kind of eye contact is required, Eleuil will only look for Lena. After all, showing glances to several other people is more likely to be self-defeating.
The banquet was about to end, and the two who left did not return.
Eleuil delayed the time under the guise of discussing the caravan sale, until Lena quietly returned to her original position, the princess ended the discussion in a few words and led the group back to their residence.
Confirming that no one was following around, Eleuil asked directly: "What did you hear?"
Lena said solemnly, "The mountain bandit."
"The mountain bandit? Is the son of the city lord related to those mountain bandits?"
"No, he wants to deal with the mountain bandits." Lena tried to recall what she saw and heard, "After he left the banquet, he met a girl in a secluded place, the girl Wearing the clothes of a slave, ask him if the Lord of Vash has put bandits on the agenda."
"Kopal said not yet, but promised to try to persuade her father, then the girl suddenly lost control of her emotions and cried for a while, and Kopal has been comforting her."
Here, Lena's expression was a little strange: "I was worried about missing some important information, so I didn't dare to leave. I listened to them crying and coaxing for a long time, and waited until the girl stopped crying. I was sent away. I thought that was all, but I saw…”
At that time, Lena hid behind a small rockery in the garden, maintaining a distance where she could hear voices without being detected.
There is a small hole at the bottom of the rockery, and you can vaguely see the opposite scene. Lena put her right eye at the hole and watched with bated breath.
Lerna waited for a moment, thinking that there would be nothing else worthy of attention, just as she was about to turn around and walk away quietly, she saw a man looking vigilantly from left to right and approaching Kepar, saluting.
Lerna considers herself a little gifted when it comes to memorizing human faces.
She clearly remembered that this man was one of the staff who followed City Lord Vash yesterday. Judging from where he stood, he could barely be regarded as a confidant.
"Dad what's going on these two days?"
The staff said: "Yes, but it has nothing to do with Vash affairs, he is eyeing the princess."
"Princess." Kopal took two steps, and his voice rose slightly, "If I remember correctly, the princess' caravan encountered a bandit outside the city?"
"Yes, that Highness was injured by the bandits."
Kepal didn't say a word, then said for a long time, "Continue to help me stare. If there is any movement of father, let me know as soon as possible."
Staff: "Yes, please rest assured."
Then they went in opposite directions. Lena listened to the whole process and had a good idea before rushing back to the banquet hall.
After listening to the description of the deputy commander, Eleuil tapped on the table with her knuckles, thoughtfully.
"You said, you hid behind the rockery."
Lerna is very confident in herself: "Yes, it was not discovered by the other party, and the traces were cleaned up before leaving."
Eleuil half-smiled: "Koppar really didn't find you, but he knew someone was there."
Lena was surprised: "How?"
"Kepar is from the city lord's mansion. He is more familiar with this garden than you. He talks about secret matters, so why would he choose near a rockery where people can hide?" He said, "He knew that someone was following, and those words were probably meant for me."
"Is what he said still believable?" Lena said hesitantly.
Eleuil recalled the attitude of everyone in Vash City towards Kepar at the banquet, and pondered for a while: "It is very likely to be trusted, we can try to contact."
Speaking, Eleuil paused and turned to the caravan master.
"When you passed by Vash City in previous years, did you encounter mountain bandits?"
The businessman said: "There used to be some thieves, but I haven't seen them in recent years."
"In the last few years." Eleuil repeated, then nodded, "I have an idea, in order to verify, the news of Kopar and the rumors about the mountain bandits... Please ask for these. already."
The owner of the caravan waved his hand: "What is this, why should your Highness be polite."
The discussion came to an end, and several people walked out of the room to perform their duties, only Luodus and Eleuil remained in the room.
Luodus was turning his bracelet in thought, and when he accidentally raised his eyes, he saw the princess looking at her with some kind of earnest waiting eyes.
Luodus guessed: "Didn't you have enough to eat just now?"
Eleuil struggled to weigh, thinking that even if she was not full, the gods would not feed them herself, so she said: "No, you said at the banquet that Kopal is not the city lord's. son-"
"Oh." Luo Das suddenly said, "It's not really, she is the daughter of the city lord."
Eleuil did not expect this, her eyes widened, her round black pupils were completely exposed, like a stunned cat.
."
According to the information they found in advance, the city lord of Vash has nearly ten daughters, and there is only one "son" like Kepar. Makes sense too.
If this is the case, the attitude of the city master can still be explained, and what is the reason for the contempt of those subordinates?
Could it be that the city lord would make it known to everyone that he instructed his daughter to dress up as a man?
Eleuil's intuition is not that simple.
