How To Wear a Goddess Statue

Chapter 53: after wash

This night, the whole city was brightly lit.

People reveled all night, ignorant of the quiet change of power in the City Lord's Mansion, they went home to sleep after the celebration, and went out yawning until the next morning, when they saw the posters posted on the streets and alleys notice.

The city lord changed positions overnight. The former city lord died accidentally in a fire in the banquet hall, and his only son succeeded him.

All matters are omitted - she is the only one, what else to report?

Succeed directly as the city lord and then send a letter to Acht, together with the crimes of the former city lord, the collusion of officials and bandits alone is enough to explain everything, even if Horst is determined to be held accountable, he can’t find it Excuse.

Is it the mayor?

Close her ears, shut her mouth, and pretend she doesn't know anything.

However, no matter how the situation in Vash City will develop next, those who are concerned about the situation in the city will have a reversed, or fundamentally changed, impression of the princess.

At first, the princess was exiled and passed through Vash City. They thought it was a weak chick who lost the protection of her parents, and they all said that she would not survive in a small border town like Katiera for a year.

Afterwards, the princess entered the military camp and became famous for her military exploits. When they heard the news, most of them disapproved.

There are people who really believe in the princess' ability, and don't think she can fight against King Horst. Solancia has never lacked generals who are good at resisting foreign enemies, nor is it a defender who has never rebelled, but No one has ever been successful.

Until this time, they faced the existence of Eleuil for the first time.

This princess is at least capable at present, so who can decide what will happen in the future?

Kopal officially took over as the lord of the city three days after the event.

Although there are still some forces in her hands, it will be a matter of time before she truly controls those forces.

Everyone knows that she has half slave blood, but no one dares to mention it. Everyone thinks that the new city lord will be ashamed of having a female slave mother.

But before the succession ceremony, Kopal deliberately came to the river Ilu, where the humble funeral was held for his mother.

Here she worships her mother who has passed away for many years, but ignores the former city lord who just died.

The former city lord died in a fire. Since no one dared to put out the fire at that time, his charred corpse was mixed with other guards and could not be distinguished, so he had to be buried by the river.

Kopal didn't even go to the funeral.

On the day of the ceremony, she passed by her father's funeral without even turning her head.

Eleuil also attended the succession ceremony. As the only member of the royal family present, she took over the token and seal of the city lord from the priest of the earth **** and delivered it to Kopar .

For some reason, they acted unfamiliar, not even friendly, with a businesslike attitude.

The acting is so good that the nobles who know it are a little puzzled - isn't the one who cooperated with the princess to kill the former city lord the biggest beneficiary? Why do these two seem to have no connection?

No one noticed. After the ceremony, the first thing the new city master did was to visit the princess.

Entering the door, Kepar did not simply salute like ordinary city lords when they meet the royal family, but knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Your Highness."

Kepal knows very well that relying on the power of the princess to win the position of the city lord means that she is already a force under the princess's command, and she needs to give a heavy gift to meet.

already."

Koppar was a little surprised, as if she did not expect the princess to leave so early.

She thought for a while, but did not get up in response, but lowered her head deeply and touched the ground with fists.

This is Solancia's allegiance.

"Your Highness, please accept my loyalty." Kepal firmly said, "This is the purpose of my visit, I am willing to follow your footsteps wholeheartedly and do my best for You help, don't disobey your orders, never hide, never mind."

Eleuil: "Have you made your decision?"

Koppar: "Yes, it should have been like this before you were willing to help me. Delaying it until now is my neglect."

Eleuil nodded: "Okay, I accept your allegiance."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became lively.

Lena applauded softly behind the princess: "It seems we have another companion."

Mortis: "Yes, yes. Do you have time? Would you like to go out and make a couple of gestures to enhance the relationship?"

Only Luca was the most shocked: "What, don't you need to be tested? Am I the only one who needs to accept the test to officially swear allegiance to the princess?"

After a brief silence.

"Yes, only you."

The two said in unison, making no secret of their disgust.

Copal showed a relaxed smile and stood up neatly.

"Since I have assured you that I will not hide my identity, I naturally dare not hide my identity in front of you." She paused, "You should have guessed it long ago, I am a woman, out of Dressing up as a man as a last resort and will continue for some time to come."

Eleuil raised her eyebrows: "So, do you plan to announce your identity in the future?"

"Yes. I can remove this from the target if you mind."

"Of course I don't mind." Eleuil's thoughts changed, "However, remember to tell me before you decide to announce."

Kopal naturally agrees.

Just…

"I take the liberty to ask, may I know how you see through this? In the City Lord's Mansion, no one has ever doubted my gender, and I thought I had no flaws."

Koppar finally couldn't hold back his curiosity.

Eleuil glanced at Luodus without a trace.

Luodus smiled, "I'm just an ordinary female official" written on his face.

So the princess shrugged: "Intuition, my intuition has always been sharper."

Copal: "…"

Can intuition do that?

However, after thinking about it, even if someone really feels wrong, they can't question her, and even if they have doubts, they can't have the opportunity to ask the Lord of a city to verify his identity.

The days of being cautious and fearful at every step are over.

"By the way, one more thing. My friend wants to see you because you defeated the bandits, and she wants to thank you in person."

Eleuil: "Let her in."

Koppar raised his voice slightly: "Vanis, it's alright."

After saluting, she whispered, "See, see Your Highness."

"I'm sorry, I know it will take up your time, but I want to thank you in person..."

Lerna looked at her face, she hadn't thought of what she saw when she followed Kopal, but when she heard this familiar voice, she suddenly remembered: "Oh, it's you."

Eleuil: "Who?"

"Your Highness, do you remember the slave girl I said earlier when I left the Kopar banquet and met next to the rockery? The one who cried for a long time was her. I almost forgot."

Lerna still has lingering fears when she thinks of it. This girl can really cry. If she hadn't been patient and waited until the end, she might have missed the connection between Kepar and her staff.

The girl in front of her was wearing clothes that were not slaves. She blushed slightly: "I'm sorry...I didn't know you were listening."

Koppar also coughed twice: "It was an accident to see that Vanessa was not in my arrangement at that time."

Eleuil is on the other hand.

"The businessman in the city said that someone broke into the city lord's mansion the year before last and asked to suppress the bandits. Is that person you?"

Vanis remembered something, her eyes dimmed, and she forced a smile: "At that time, I didn't understand anything, so I went to the City Lord's Mansion foolishly, if it wasn't for Kopal, I still don't know. know where."

The girl who traveled with the small caravan at home for the first time was very curious to see everything. When the caravan was attacked by bandits at the foot of the mountain, she was staying in the woods beside it to pick flowers.

In a blink of an eye, the world has changed.

The mountain bandits wantonly slaughtered her parents and brothers, guarded the domestic servants, and then left with a laughing ox cart full of goods, Vanessa was lying in the bushes, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out , the flowers just picked fall on the ground.

She rushed to Vash City alone, trying to ask the city owner to lead people to suppress the bandits, but was knocked unconscious and sold as a slave.

If it hadn't been for Copal to save her, Vanesse would have been more fortunate.

"So I am very grateful to you, thank you for helping me and Kopal to avenge." Vanessa bowed deeply, "I heard that you are also a believer of the goddess Rhodes, may the goddess always bless you , Your Highness."

This blessing is very much in line with the princess's wishes, Eleuil happily said: "You believe in Luodus... Goddess Luodus?"

Vanice didn't understand why the princess's tone suddenly became kinder, but it didn't prevent her from being flattered: "Yes! I'm from Elorera City."

A few people chatted for a while, until the sky gradually darkened, Kopal looked out the window and said goodbye to the princess and others.

"I will stay in Vash and use the fastest speed to grasp all the power of this city. If you have anything, you can order it at any time."

This kind of words can only be said today, and when I see you off tomorrow, I have to put on a gesture that I am not familiar with the princess at all.

That is true.

On the second day, before the caravan left, in front of the other nobles present, both of them simply said goodbye and kept silent.

Under the watchful eye of Kopal and Vanesse, the convoy drove out of the Vash City Gate.

Luodus pressed his forehead, looked down and saw a cup of hot tea on the small table in front of him, the color was dark red.

She looked down at the blurred reflection of herself in the cup, and suddenly remembered the guard of the city lord's mansion with burst blood vessels in front of her. The dark red revealed through the skin was very similar to the color of this tea.

Before coming to Vash City, no one had ever targeted her, so there was no such change.

Luo Das had no worries.

She wants to understand how the mechanism of this reaction works.

As long as you actively attack the gods, will you be punished by death?

Anyone, or are there exceptions?

Just as Luodus was thinking to himself, there was a chessboard on his right.

She raised her eyes and met Eleuil's expectant gaze.

"The last game was disturbed by the mountain bandits." The princess picked up a black cat head chess and turned it around her fingertips, "Luodus, let's play another game, or That bet, okay?"

Luodus laughed: "You still remember."

"How could I forget about you."

"Okay, who will come first this time?"

"You better go first."

"It's your turn."

"Well, this is a great step, as expected of you."

"...You boast too early, this is the first move."

"One move determines the overall situation."

One more piece soon appeared on the board, followed by two, then three.

look.

After the convoy, the outline of Vash City faded away.
