MTL - How To Wear a Goddess Statue-Chapter 77 into the city
In distant memory, the enemy brought a child slightly taller than the princess.
The adults looked upright and the children smiled shyly.
Father said to Eliu: "This is your cousin, Eliu."
Princess: "Cousin?"
The older child on the opposite side said politely and slightly unfamiliar: "Hello, Your Highness Eleuil. You can call me Romul."
Father shook his head and smiled and said, "It's a cousin, so why are you still using the honorific title? It looks cold, so just call me by name."
Horst repeatedly pushed back, but finally agreed.
Since then, Horst seems to intend to keep the two children close, and often brings his son to the palace.
The conversation goes like this -
Romul: "Dang... Eleuil, my father said I should take you to play nearby, do you want to play games in the garden, or do you want to go shopping?"
Eleuil: "Do you practice martial arts?"
Practicing martial arts is a compulsory course, of course Romul will answer.
So the little princess led him to the martial arts field and easily won the duel practice. After the end, she immediately lost her freshness to this cousin.
When he comes again, Eleuil has learned to deal with her cousin just like those fathers, servants and noble ladies who treat her as an ignorant child.
Having said that…
The parents have no other children, and Eleuil has no siblings.
Among the children of her age, most of the girls do not learn martial arts. When they get together, they are led by their mothers to discuss literature and music; A tool person, chatting and playing together, Eleuil really has no interest, and even can be called disgust.
The most important thing is that children of the same age are too childish.
Eleuil always felt out of place when communicating with them, as if an older child was playing a game with a group of children. The much older teenagers would only treat her as a child, and because they knew more and knew the number of respects and etiquette, they respected the princess, which was very boring.
Eliuil has no playmates, so he has a more or less faint cognition of his cousin who can communicate with him a few years older.
Said to be a cousin, but in fact, the blood relationship is so far away that it can be ignored.
Among the descendants of the previous kings, the princes who were exceptionally outstanding but did not inherit the throne either served as a cronies to assist the new king, or left the royal city and became the manager of a city.
Their descendants will inherit the position of the city lord, and the position that has been inherited from generation to generation will not be taken back by the current King Solan until any unworthy descendant makes a big mistake.
Those important cities with relatively special status are bound to be in the hands of many collateral bloodlines of the royal family.
In order to better teach these heirs, and in order to cultivate the loyalty of the collateral to the future king from an early age, to prevent them from giving birth to disagreements, the heirs of the same age as the prince will be sent to the royal city when they are children. Get educated together.
Horst was once the heir of a city.
The city where he was born is not the main city, but a prosperous secondary city rich in stone, and it is quite famous in Solan. Because of this particularity, Horst was called to Ach Especially, he took a class with the former king who was still a teenager at the time.
It is customary for Horst to return to his hometown at the end of his class.
However, during the years as a classmate, he won the trust and friendship of the late king, and also showed some abilities, so he was able to stay.
Stay in the royal city as a close friend of the late king.
When the late king was still the crown prince, Horst was a staff member.
When the previous king succeeded to the throne, he became a minister with power.
Horst married and had children in Acht, and showed his loyalty to the previous king as always.
The late king trusted him and regarded Horst as a cousin who was close by blood. Even the young Eleuil called him his uncle.
Who would have thought that such a person would have evil intentions?
Who would have guessed that he would kill his excellent cousin with his own hands, put the blame on the mad queen, and step on the corpse of his brother Weihan to ascend to the throne?
No one thought and no one knew.
Eleuil also heard about Horst's performance at the funeral of the late king. He crouched on the coffin and cried almost fainting, and he cried several times during the eulogy.
The impeccable acting skills made everyone in the audience think that he is very affectionate and righteous, and inheriting the throne is just a helpless choice.
However, Eliuil discovered by chance that the coffin that appeared at the funeral may be an empty coffin, or it may contain other bodies.
The real father is placed beside the mother.
They lie together in a small black sarcophagus used to suppress sinners.
How guilty Horst is, so guilty that he dare not let his cousin's soul leave with the Ilu River, and dare not let his cousin state his deeds in front of Death!
Eleuil had no chance to expose him.
The day after the funeral, the princess was sent to the carriage of exile.
And now, after nine years, the son of the enemy appeared in front of Eleuil.
The fingertips stabbed into the palm of the palm uncontrollably, and quickly let go, not letting anyone notice this momentary gaffe.
Only Lotus.
The goddess of the river asked in an inaudible voice, "Aleu?"
"It's him." Eleuil whispered, as if the words were squeezed out of his teeth, "Horst's only son, Romul."
Luodus looked in the direction of the visitor, and the young man in the lead was wearing thick fine fleece clothes and the royal coat of arms on his chest.
The cloak fluttered behind him as the horses galloped.
Only members of the royal family can wear royal badges.
Although so far, most people believe that the direct line is still the one of the previous king, but it is impossible for the king and the crown prince to wear no badges.
The only person who appears here at this time is the Crown Prince Romul.
Luodas grabbed the princess's hand, and moved very lightly, Eleuil shook it back slightly, as if responding "I'm fine".
At this time, the crown prince and his party also came to the front, Romul turned over and dismounted, and he could see that he had some background in martial arts.
Your Highness is here."
"Well, don't be too polite." Romul nodded, with a friendly attitude, "I'm here to preside over disaster relief, it's not too late, let's go into the city and talk in detail."
City Lord Disimone is naturally.
Romul turned to the caravan again and asked, "Who are you?"
The city lord said: "His Royal Highness, this is a caravan from the border. They brought relief supplies."
Romul: "From the frontier?"
He thought about it for a moment, and asked uncertainly, "Is it the caravan that Eleuil was in?"
The owner of the caravan smiled on the surface, but he didn't know what the princess was planning, and quietly aimed at Eleuil from the corner of his eye.
The princess did not respond immediately.
Romul and Horst were somewhat similar, she stared at the crown prince coldly, as if she could see Horst's dignified face through his face.
There is a deadly feud between Eleuil and Horst. As for the prince...
She remembered that when the accident happened, Romul seemed to go to visit his grandfather in the second city where his father came from, and he was not seen in the incident.
At this moment, he doesn't seem to know.
Yes, so what?
Before the incident, didn't Horst also behave faithfully and never mind?
Take ten thousand steps back and say, even if Romul didn’t know anything about this, even if he didn’t have any hostility towards himself, even if he didn’t notice anything wrong after all these years, he thought his father was a good man—
Romul is Horst's son.
Even if she didn't know it, how could Eleuil consider him innocent.
But it's not the time to fully reveal this hatred.
Evidence is impossible.
In front of them, Eleuil's expression can be conspiracy, dissatisfaction, fighting and disgust, but it should not be an unquestionable and conclusive hatred.
Adjusting his emotions was only a split second, and Eleuil controlled the horse under his seat to step forward, and he came out more and more.
Under the silver helmet, her golden eyes were cold, and she raised an arc without temperature.
"Long time no see, Romul."
"It's really you, and seeing you here is beyond my expectations."
Romul paused, looked at the princess' face, and sighed: "You have grown up, Eleuil."
of now.
After she finished speaking, she nodded politely and motioned for the caravan to enter the city.
The whole group behind the crown prince showed dissatisfied expressions, and some people were about to scold when they opened their mouths, but were stopped by their companions.
Romul obviously noticed the indifference of the princess, and after thinking about it for a while, there was guilt on his face.
"It's not very safe here, let's go in first. City Lord Finnei, thank you for the carriage you prepared, but you don't need it."
The two sides entered the city one after another.
The city of Disimone was devastated, and the area near the city gate was on the outskirts of the city. As the settlement of the poor and some ordinary people, there were few houses that survived the earthquake.
The city lord's mansion and the temple are the ones that are basically not damaged in appearance. You can see a few people go in and out carefully, carrying things, but no one dares to go in and live.
Many simple shacks and tents were set up in the open space, very close to each other. Survivors gathered here. Newly rescued injured people were occasionally carried. Many victims were wrapped in heavy bedding and huddled in Together, snuggling with each other to keep warm.
The people of the city lord knew that the princess was in the caravan, and they did not dare to care for her.
Eleuil was assigned a separate tent and was rather small, but at a time like this, she wouldn't care.
At the request of the princess, the merchant asked the manager to discuss the handling of the materials they brought, and the members of the Guard and the caravan also rested separately.
The princess pulled Luodus into the tent.
Lena and Mortis looked at the small tent and hesitated. As the Queen's cronies, they probably knew the truth.
When they looked at each other, there was only a sigh.
Luca, who was outside the situation, came over and asked strangely, "What's wrong with Your Highness, you don't seem to be very happy?"
Lerna was very helpless to this junior whose emotional intelligence was better than Mortis, and whispered: "Don't disturb Your Highness for the time being, I'll find out later."
And said to the golden eagle sisters who flew to the side: "You too, forage for food nearby, or wait for it later." It doesn't matter whether the golden eagle can understand.
Luca: "Oh."
Two golden eagles: "Squeak."
In the tent, Eleuil sat on the edge of the newly laid mattress, wiping the long sword.
While wiping, she said softly: "I really didn't expect to meet people who have deep ties with Horst here."
"I'm ready, but..."
Luodus: "Ai Liu, you are calm enough."
Eleuil smiled bitterly: "But I still let you find out."
"I will find out, because I know you, if Horst is standing here, he can't see the flaw."
Lotus lowered his eyes.
It is precisely because of understanding, perhaps because she has seen the most vulnerable time of the princess, that she will see the vulnerability hidden under the calm appearance of Eleuil, which has not appeared in several years mood.
Eleuil was silent for a long time, then re-sheathed the sword and put it aside.
She looked up.
—could you give me a hug?
Before these words came out, Luodus had already leaned over and embraced the princess in his arms.
Eleuil paused briefly, lowered her head, and Luo Das placed her chin on top of her head and rubbed lightly.
"No one has complete control over their emotions, and it's nothing and won't prevent you from doing everything."
Eliuil murmurs: "Yes, I will do it."
What has been lost is irreparable, just like the fact that parents have passed away will not change.
But in the past few years, she also had something she didn't have in the past.
She will take everything back and more.
It can't be made up or replaced, it's the future that belongs to Eleuil.
Eleuil raised her arms, wrapped her arms around Luodus' waist, and closed her eyes.
Her voice was low but firm.
"I will hold Horst in front of their tomb with my own hands and cut off his head."
The author has something to say:
Luo. Emotional sluggish. Very sensitive to any emotion of the princess. Except for the secret love mood. Tusi: Hug.
26. Currently a little fragile. At the moment, the hatred is so full that I don't think about how soft the goddess is. 12: I want to kill him!
