How To Wear a Goddess Statue
Chapter 68: palace
At the end of December, the wind howls.
Snow flakes the size of goose feathers rolled up and down, and a thick layer of pure white bedding was accumulated on the road entering the city.
The shops that can be opened on the main street are more decent and bright, but in such a heavy snow day, few are willing to open their doors, not to mention not many people patronize.
Similarly, there are hardly any pedestrians on the street.
The caravan that came from afar walked across the quiet street and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Luodus and the princess got off the carriage as soon as they entered the city gate. At this time, they were walking unhurriedly at the front of the queue, leaving footprints in the blank snow that no one had passed by. .
Laudas was wearing a white fur cloak, looking out from the edge of the hood to look at Eleuil.
Luodus felt that he should say something, and said softly: "It seems that you have been here before."
Eleuil nodded: "When I was seven years old, I followed my father to patrol here, and it was also winter."
This is the closest main city to Acht. After exiting the back city gate and heading east, you will enter the direct jurisdiction of the royal city, which is wider than the jurisdiction of any main city. It is the center of the kingdom of Solancia.
Eleuil remembers the city lord here, a kind and gracious old man who used to be the teacher of his father.
They were watching the snow scene in the yard and talking about the city's important affairs.
But the princess didn't sit for long, she saluted her mother at a medium distance, and ran all the way to the courtyard in calfskin boots, listening carefully to the conversation of the two elders.
Father King has no choice: "It's so cold outside, what are you doing out of here, can you understand?"
The princess said: "Father and the king continue, and ask me again after speaking, and you will know if I can understand."
The old city lord smiled kindly and said: "Your Highness is so smart, even if you don't understand, you can repeat it, right?"
The princess widened her golden eyes, and her cat-like eyes lifted up: "I won't repeat it, I can understand."
There is experience first, otherwise it is empty talk.”
"Then I'll go through it first, and then come back and tell the king."
The princess is very confident.
The old city lord laughed without saying a word, and asked the former king: "Your Majesty, why don't your little highness learn from me. At my age, I still have time to teach another student."
"Will this be inconvenient?"
"How could it be? It's not like the princess who did not assist the king in history, can teach her highness before returning to the arms of God Emmet, maybe it's the last thing I can do for Soranchia ."
The late king: "I'm afraid not. Ai Liu said a few days ago that she would go to the battlefield. I think she wants to join the army to be the commander."
He spread his hands, seemingly disapproving.
The princess said, "Why can't I learn both? I'm not only practicing bow and arrow, but also learning astronomy, and it's not difficult."
The late king was angry and funny: "How can this be the same..."
The old city lord did not take this as a joke for a child, he squatted down, looked at the young princess, and said solemnly: "After two years, if you still think it is not difficult to learn together, just Let His Majesty bring you here."
"—by then, I will surely teach you what I have learned throughout my life."
Same wind and snow, but I can no longer see the familiar relatives.
Time flies, the voices and smiles of the father and mother have frozen, and the face of the old city owner has long been blurred, only these conversations remain in the memory.
At that time, the princess did not wait for the opportunity to study with the old city master. Before the two-year period came, she was sent to the Katiera Temple by the new king.
Eleuil's voice about the past was very flat and very low, only Luodus could hear it.
Clear snowflakes hung on her drooping eyelashes, with distinct hexagons, but when she took a breath, they turned into tiny water droplets, which would fall on the edge of the long eyelashes.
Suddenly, Luo Das remembered the information collected before coming to this city.
The old man who served as the city lord died eight years ago. Since the old city lord had no children before his death, the ownership of the main city was handed over to a royal collateral by Horst.
It is said that he died of illness, but what is the truth?
I know it well, but keep it a secret.
Luodus stretched out his hand from under the sleeve of the robe, and accurately grasped the exposed wrist of the princess.
She put her palms on Eleuil's clenched knuckles, and after a while, that hand stretched out and let the gods hold her obediently.
The same wide sleeves dangled staggeredly, covering the clasped hands. Apart from the two, not even the nearest local officials noticed.
This official is here to lead the way.
It is said to lead the way, but it is more to give a show of power, think about it, in this windy and snowy weather, the caravan that the princess is in came outside the city lord's mansion, but was guarded Tell the city lord that there is something important to do with you, please forgive me for not being able to meet you. How good will your expression look when you are turned away?
This is what the lord wants to see.
He squinted his eyes and looked forward, bit his head and said, "Your Highness, in front of you is the City Lord's Mansion."
Eleuil's eyelids lifted slightly: "On the left."
"On the left is the area where the nobles lived."
After the official finished speaking habitually, he saw Eleuil turn without any hesitation, leading the team to the left.
"Aren't you coming to visit Lord Mayor? As usual—"
The princess didn't look back: "As usual, it is best for caravans to find a place to settle when they enter the city, so that carriages carrying goods are not allowed to disturb the order in the city."
The officials looked around at a loss, and as far as they could see, there was no shadow of a passerby.
Where did this weather disturb the caravan?
The owner of the caravan riding a tall horse walked in the middle of the line and greeted the officials with a smile:
Officers: “…”
He turned his head and glanced at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
The question is, what should I do now?
Eleuil once again picked up her role as a common guard, avoiding the custom of visiting the city lord.
Seeing the tight-knit gate from a distance, you know that the other party has bad intentions. For this kind of guy, there is no need to maintain a superficial courtesy.
Where to stay—
end.
Under the uplifted hillside, a palace with a garden is impressive.
As the closest main city to Acht, this city can be said to be the top priority of the inspections of the kings of the past dynasties, and of course the royal palace has also been built.
The princess wants to live in her own palace, no matter how the city lord speaks, it is impossible to stop her.
The area of the palace is quite large, which is more than enough for a caravan.
Even if the royal family has not been here for a long time, the waitresses and slaves who stay here will always take care of it. For everyone, they can stay directly.
The evergreens planted in the garden were trimmed neatly, the snow covering them was shaken off, and the branches and leaves below were still green and dripping.
Eleuil has passed the stage of touching the scene before, and only looked up at the tallest old tree in the courtyard, and walked to the palace.
The waitress who was guarding here got the news and hurried to the hall to greet her.
When she saw the princess lift her hood, her black hair was loose, and she looked calmly with her bright golden eyes, the waitress took a deep breath, bowed her head, and saluted, with a voice in her voice. Unnoticeable trembling.
"Your Highness, please come with me."
The servants in the palace took action and cleaned out the room for the host and the guests in a very short time. Several servants stood in the corridor, looking left and right, to decide which room to clean Made trouble for the queen.
"What's the point of hesitation?" the waitress reprimanded, "Clean up the main hall."
The waitress with the bucket said hesitantly: "But the main hall is only possible when the king arrives..."
"This is Her Royal Highness. Her Royal Highness stayed in the main hall when she came last time. It should be the same this time. Do you understand?"
The waitress nodded immediately.
Under the gaze of everyone in the caravan, this palace gradually came to life, like a long-destroyed city, revitalized in front of her eyes.
When everything was settled, the waitress stood behind the princess and respectfully said, "What else do you want to tell me?"
"Why clean up the main hall?"
"Only you are qualified to live here." The waitress did not hesitate, "The Lord of the City said so before leaving, and we think so too."
It is impossible for the new city lord to say such words, only the old city lord.
Eleuil was silent for a moment, nodded, and stepped into the hall, but the waitress said cautiously: "Your Highness, may I know, who is next to you—?"
Luodus looked back, his eyes softened.
Without waiting for Eleuil to answer, she said flatly, "I am His Highness's teacher."
Teacher?
"Kurda, Your Highness will come back one day, I am destined to not wait until then, but please stay, no matter what happens, please stay here."
"...I thought I could hear that kid call me teacher, what a pity."
The maid bowed her head deeply, and in the corner of her low vision, she saw the two figures turning around and walking towards the hall.
The jet-black boots and the silver shoes intertwined with the white foot straps, the pace is actually very consistent, making a clear sound on the white stone floor, drifting away.
"That's fine."
She said in a low voice.
The author has something to say:
Lotus: I took over as your student, thank you.
The old city lord who has been reincarnated from the **** of death: Wait? ? ?
