How To Wear a Goddess Statue

    For Horst, this decision has nothing to lose.

    Horst has worked hard for several years, from the time he ascended the throne to the present, but he has not been able to make the side branch he belongs to become the orthodox recognized by most aristocratic families.

    The ambition of many years ago was slowly eroded, but the long-cherished wish was not wiped out, but intensified, to the point of becoming more and more unscrupulous.

    Horst finally set his sights on the princess.

    He has sent people to assassinate the princess far away on the border several times, because he was suspicious and because of his guilty conscience, he desperately wanted to hear the news of the death of the daughter of the previous king, otherwise he would not be completely at ease.

    However, that was at the beginning, and the current situation made Horst's killing heart temporarily extinguished.

    Even if his clan cannot become a direct line, isn't there still Eleuil? The last immediate family is a teenage girl...what does that mean? A princess who can give birth to an heir is far more valuable to live than to die.

    —How shameless, how filthy.

    Murdered Eleuil's parents, put the blame on the deceased, and thought about the value of looting the princess, at this time, why don't you care about his upright and affectionate mask already?

    Oh, Horst for good reason.

    To take care of his daughter for his cousin, and use this excuse to deal with people of this era, it can be said to be impeccable.

    Luodus knew the twists and turns, and because of this, the anger that was whistling like a snowstorm in winter condensed in the bottom of his eyes.

    She saw it too.

    Lotus took a deep and slow breath, and couldn't help but think - is Horst among the most people who will be attacked by the attacking gods?

    This idea just flashed by, Luo Das looked at the princess and pursed her lips.

    It might work, but Eliuil probably wouldn't want Horst to die just like that.

    Eleuil didn't speak at first, holding a wine glass in one hand and resting the other hand on the edge of the table, listening to Horst's nonsense with a sneer.

    Perceiving Luodus's gaze, the princess' expression did not change, her eyes did not change, but the hand resting on the table was quietly put down.

    Using the cover of the low table, her palm rested on the back of Luo Das's hand, which did not fit completely, but was staggered a little. The gentle force seemed to comfort, but it also seemed to be just an unintentional move.

    At this time, Horst finally ended his long speech, his expression and voice were beyond reproach, as if he was really just a good uncle who cared about his brother and daughter.

    "Eleuil, what do you think?"

    Eleuil raised her chin and motioned everyone present to look at Romul's face.

    "Uncle, I think my cousin has something to say."

    I saw Romul's expression of disapproval, and a bit of a loss to hide that he was not successful. It could be seen that he wanted to interrupt his father's words, but he never found the opportunity.

     Horst said solemnly: "Romul, what do you want to say?"

    The crown prince whispered: "It's not right, Eleuil is my cousin, and is it too sudden."

    "You make me a little disappointed." Horst lowered his tone.

    Romul: "...Father?"

    "I swore in front of my brother's royal tomb that I would take good care of his daughter, and I had no choice but to send Eleuil to the original temple of the Goddess of the Ilu River, which made me regret enough. Apart from this promise, there is nothing to make up for it. Romul, aren't you willing to take responsibility?"

    The tone was severe, almost a reprimand.

    The crown prince is probably rarely spoken of like this, he opened his mouth, and he had nothing to say.

    The fighting power is not as good as half a goose.

    Eleuil had foreseen it, and did not expect this person's will to play any role. The reason why Horst turned his attention to him was just to draw a sentence.

    Horst did not disappoint her and said that sentence.

    "Romul would love to take care of you, Eleuil, don't be embarrassed—"

    The princess said casually: "If I remember correctly, I still seem to have the blood of sinners flowing through me, does that matter?"

    Sinner, the word was accented a little, and no one noticed the coldness in Eleuil's eyes at that moment.

    Horst paused subtly.

    He was weighing whether it was better for Eleuil to continue to bear the name of the sinner's daughter, or it would be better to admit that her blood was clean.

    Then he smiled tolerantly: "You grew up in the original river temple, purifying the sins left by the sinner Serena, otherwise how could Goddess Luodus allow her messenger to appear, Send Xue Tu to you?"

    The officials present exchanged glances, obviously they have heard this rumor.

    The poetry sung by the bards, who knows if it is true, but since His Majesty Horst mentioned it, it cannot be false.

    So they all echoed:

    "Yeah, how can someone who is favored by the river goddess have unclean blood?"

    "The sinner is dead, the princess needn't question herself."

    Eleuil: "So, uncle wants to make up for me."

    Horst nodded, as if he had seen the descendants sit firmly on the throne, passing on for thousands of years like the previous direct blood.

    "But such compensation is not only harming me, but also bad for Solancia."

    Horst frowned immediately: "What did you say?"

    The princess smiled lightly, suddenly bent her knuckles, and clicked on Luotus wrist bone.

    Then she withdrew her hand and stood up.

    Eliuil doesn't care about the bright or dark eyes.

    "I will not marry anyone, that would be a blasphemy against my beliefs."

    "Absurd!" Horst clenched his fists with both hands on both sides of the throne, and suppressed his anger, "Anyone here is not a devout worshipper of the gods, can we all marry others, otherwise it would be blasphemy? "

    "Don't worry, uncle." Eleuil half-smiled.

    "You say such absurd words, how can I not be in a hurry, if brother Wang knows-"

    "If the father knew, he would only be proud of me."

     Horst closed his mouth suddenly and looked at her cautiously.

    Eleuil didn't care, raised her right arm, her smooth and graceful honey-colored arm tightened, silently demonstrating her own strength.

    "I swore to Goddess Rhodes that I would keep her pure. She gave me the invincible power."

    "I am a warrior of Rhodes."

    Eleuil muttered the name softly.

    "I fought for her."

    Pressing the final note, Eleuil tilted her head solemnly and quickly, and her eyes swept across the banquet hall, with a convincing deterrent force, like a speaker who paid attention to the audience's reaction.

    These are appearances - the sight that really wants to convey something meets Luodus's gaze in mid-air, and leaves at a touch.

    Lotus curled his fingertips.

    At the moment when the eyes collided, he didn't think of anything, and then there was inexplicable confusion.

    …When did she hear such an oath?

    As for the power, it has nothing to do with the goddess of the river.

    Luodus is the main **** of water, and there is no problem in managing the waters, but the operation of giving someone powerful power is really beyond class.

    The chaotic thoughts only existed for a very short moment, and Luodus quickly recovered.

    This is what the borrowed name originally meant.

    Someone almost opened their mouths to question, but when the words came to their lips, they hesitated to hold back.

    It does make sense.

    When they heard about the abilities that the princess showed at the border, they made a murmur in their hearts, because it was too exaggerated, let alone a little girl, even a strong man, those veterans who have been stationed at the border all year round , shouldn't be able to fight like this.

    Myths and beliefs are rooted in all aspects of Solanchia civilization.

    So.

    No wonder the princess is so powerful, it turned out to be the power of the goddess of the Ilu River!

      many.

    Once you accept this statement.

    As a condition, the phrase "keep pure for the goddess" was also subconsciously tacitly accepted.

    Horst was silent for more than ten seconds before reluctantly said: "You should know how serious it is to fabricate stories in the name of gods."

    "Of course, I am very familiar with the law." Eleuil said happily, "Luodus allows me to reveal our agreement to the world."

    —although Rhodes didn't know it earlier than the people in the banquet hall.

    "It's just nonsense! You are the only daughter of the king and the last bloodline, how can you easily make such a promise to the gods?"

    "When I went to the Temple of Luodus, no one told me I couldn't."

    The princess has a good time.

    "You..."

    Horst gritted his teeth unconsciously, his eyes just met the stubborn old man. The old hatred that rivaled him when he was far from the frontier.

    Damn old guys!

    Horst took a deep breath: "Eleuil, you are too self-willed, the continuation of the royal bloodline is more important than fighting and killing on the battlefield."

    But this kind of remark is not suitable for speaking openly, otherwise it is disrespectful to the goddess of the river.

    Eleuil raised her eyebrows.

    "Then, when the Sanur go to war, who of you is willing to go to the border to lead the battle."

    She randomly selected a few officials who were holding Horst and talking: "You, you, or you?"

    No one answered, and those who were called shut up.

    Eleuil immediately looked at the high throne, with a smile on his lips, he asked politely: "Or, uncle, Your Majesty, do you want to go to the throne in person?"

    Horst couldn't answer, no way to answer.

    In the end, the proposal at this banquet was over.

    After the banquet, the invitees left, and Horst stood up suddenly and walked quickly through the empty corridor.

    He held his anger and walked so fast that the staff behind him could only trot all the way.

     Horst never thought he would get such a reason.

    Accurately, he thought about the situation of the princess' rejection, but he didn't expect that Eleuil would really refuse.

    Eleuil has certain ambitions, anyone can see that, in this case, shouldn't marrying Romul be in her arms?

    Princess, queen, queen mother.

    Although he couldn't just sit and watch Eleuil climb up like this, but this is a road to the pinnacle of power, she should not refuse...

    The most probable situation was ignored, Horst subconsciously did not want to think about that possibility, so he could not understand.

    "I have to do something."

    Horst calmed down and muttered to himself.

    So far, he doesn't want to tear his face and start, he still needs to try again.

    Suddenly, a pair of very light blue eyes emerged from my memory.

    It was the female officer beside Eleuil who might have been loyal to Serena.

    The author has something to say:

    Good night
