Chapter Twenty-Nine: An Jie
"Your Majesty, what is the third request?"
"Oh, you said the third request. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info" Ramogis squinted, "The request is simple, I want you to love Euris for the rest of your life. I know you have a lot of fiancΓ©es, so I won't force you to love only one of her. But if you fail her feelings - trust me, you will regret it. β
Ramogis' last words made Maier shudder and nod his head instinctively. By this time, it was already completely dawn, but neither of them was sleepy. Ramogis asked Mel to change back into his original clothes, and he himself took off his women's clothes and put on fine clothes. Ramogis tugged at a thin red rope on the wall that extended to the roof, then unlocked the door. It wasn't long before several maids knocked on the door, helping Ramogis and Mel remove their makeup and wash.
On December 22, Ramorgis officially met with Maier again and agreed to his engagement to Euris. To Mel's surprise, Ramogis then summoned a young woman wearing a light veil and a white robe.
"Her name is An Jie, she is nineteen years old and she is from the Temple of All Souls. I'll give her to you, and if Euris is disobedient, give her to Anjie, and Anjie will make her honest. β
An Jie's height is taller than the average Dugu person, her legs are longer than Euris, her legs are better-looking, her waist is thinner than Euris, and her breasts are fuller than Euris. After Euris saw An Jie, her two long ears immediately drooped, lowered her head, and didn't dare to look at An Jie.
Ramorgis knew that Maier was in a hurry. Although he didn't know why Maier was in a hurry, he still sent Maier and his party away at noon that day. It is worth mentioning that the two pieces of body nourishment jade were given to Maier by Ramogis, and the money that Maier won last night was also thrown by Ramogis on the carriage carrying the gifts. As for the Bata that was sent to Madame Jungfi's house, Ramogis did not release them directly, but sent them to Hope City to be cared for by the Letins.
On the evening of December 22, Mel and his party camped in the territory of the Kingdom of Urgus.
"Mummam ......"
Uris bit her nails anxiously and looked uneasily in the direction of Mel. The new spirit master An Jie was chatting with Maier about something, and judging from the attitude of the two when they spoke, they should be talking about business.
ββ¦β¦ In other words, His Majesty the King sent you to Byronsburg to help us integrate the minds of the three families? β
"Exactly." An Jie's face turned red after giving an affirmative answer, "Lord Maier, His Majesty the King has already given me to you, and I will be your man from now on." β
"Uh, that's like that......"
An Jie's blushing appearance made Maier think of something bad, and he smiled awkwardly and quickly drove these bad things out of his mind.
"In other words, you are already my subordinate."
"Exactly."
An Jie suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a little relaxation.
"So, Lord Maier, please don't use honorifics on me anymore, I'm not used to it."
Although Anjie was speaking to Maier in honorifics, the tone in which she spoke did not show much respect.
"Because that guy is an arrogant idiot!!"
On the other side, Euris was speaking ill of An Jie to the girls.
"When I was a child, she bullied me because of her age! The most annoying thing is that her father is still facing her! Obviously I am his biological daughter! Damn it!! β
Because of the sudden appearance of a difficult enemy, Uris had to abandon her previous suspicions and find Xiaoxiao to deal with Anjie together, so now Myer's four fiancΓ©es are present.
"The most infuriating part! This guy often uses illusions on me! me around! β
"Illusion?"
Alice and Xiaoxiao didn't know much about the Dugu Spiritual Master, and Yishan saw that the two of them showed puzzled expressions, so she explained in place of Yuris.
"Illusion is a skill unique to the ancient spirit masters, probably a skill that can make people hallucinate. It is said that those who have fallen for the illusion will completely obey the caster's arrangement, and listen to the mother's words, as long as they do not eat the food of the Metropolitan Spirit, and do not drink the water of the Metropolitan Spirit, they will not be affected by the illusion, and I don't know if it is true. β
"!"
Euris clasped her hands over her chest and said with a depressed expression.
"When I was a child, my father told me the same thing, but even if I didn't eat that guy's food and didn't drink her water, I would still get hit every time. She often made me get lost in hallucinations, and conjured up brown bears, green lions and other beasts to scare me, and the most excessive time she actually made a lot of cockroaches!! β
As soon as Yishan and Alice heard the word "cockroach", they shivered neatly. Xiaoxiao was not afraid of such things, and she felt that beasts such as brown bears and green lions were more dangerous in comparison. Both of these beasts are very large, and the combat effectiveness of brown bears is naturally needless to say, and the combat effectiveness of green lions is higher than that of brown bears.
Although the green lion is called a "lion", it is actually a type of bear. The green lion is blue-gray and looks like a cross between a bear and a canine family. The male green lion is named "green lion" because of the black mane around his neck.
"Even if she bullies you like this, your father will turn against her?"
Yishan showed a puzzled expression. When she was a child, she was also disciplined for being naughty, but the people who disciplined her never dared to go too far. Even if Teng Yan personally ordered to discipline Yishan, the person who carried out the order would be discounted. Because once Yishan goes to her father to complain, the person who executes the order will definitely be punished.
"Hmm."
Euris nodded aggrievedly, looking a little lost. Yishan wanted to comfort her a few words, but she suddenly remembered an important detail and asked Euris to say.
"If I'm not mistaken, did your father 'gift' Miss Anjie to Maier before we left?"
"yes."
Euris nodded. After seeing Yishan's surprised expression, she also widened her eyes in surprise.
"Huh?!"
Xiaoxiao and Alice didn't know what the two of them suddenly understood, so they could only exchange glances silently, and then wait for the two princesses to explain their doubts.
"No, no, no, no!" Urris's head shook into a rattle, "An Jie is a spirit master, and it belongs to the Temple of All Souls." Even if his father controls the Temple of All Souls, he can't give away the spirit master! β
The status of the spirit master in the hearts of the ancient people is very high, similar to the status of the Ira shrine maiden in the hearts of the Ira. If Emperor Ira wanted to give the Iraa shrine maiden to a foreigner, all the Ira-shrines would raise objections, and the people would rise up in protest. Because the Iraa shrine maiden is the servant of the great god of the world, the Ira Emperor gave the Iraa shrine maiden away, which is disrespectful to the great god of the world, and of course the Ira shrine and the people will protest.
The nature of the spirit master and the Ira's shrine maiden is similar, except that the former is the servant of the god of all spirits. Therefore, whether it is a spirit master or an Iraa shrine maiden, they cannot be "given away". Even if the spirit master and Iraa shrine maiden volunteered to go with someone, they should not use the word "gift" in an official setting, because it would cause all kinds of trouble. With Ramogis' intellect, he could not have made such a lowly mistake.
At this time, Maier also realized this, he did not know what kind of medicine was sold in Ramogis's gourd, and could only truthfully state the doubts in his heart.
Anjie listened to Maier's words, and her face turned red again. She bit her lip unwillingly, and then sighed resignedly.
"Actually, I'm not a spirit master." An Jie smiled bitterly and said, "Although I know everything that the Spirit Master will meet, I haven't gone through the 'incense ceremony', so I am not a real Spirit Master. β
Maier was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately remembered what Ramogis had said when he gave him Anjie. At that time, Ramogis did not say that Anjie was a "spirit master", but that she was "from the Temple of All Souls". Although in the eyes of ordinary people, the person who comes out of the Temple of All Souls is a spirit master, but in fact this is not the case. It's like a soldier and a person from the barracks, the latter has a wider range, it may be an officer, it may be a civilian servant, and it doesn't have to be a soldier.
"Speaking of which, that guy used to stay at Fort Crown when he was a kid." Euris frowned and recalled, "I haven't seen a second Spirit Master who has been in Crown Fort longer than in the Temple of All Souls. As a kid I was always bullied by her and didn't realize it. When I grew up, she didn't come often, so I forgot about it...... Uh, could it be that she is the illegitimate daughter of her father?! β
This sudden thought that popped into her mind startled Euris a lot, and Yishan and the others were also startled. On the other side, Anjie is already decrypting Myer.
"Actually...... Actually, I made a bet with His Majesty the King. An Jie blushed and said, "As long as you notice the abnormality in my body, I will tell you my life experience, and I will ...... Still...... And marry you. β
"Huh?!"
Maier was frightened by An Jie's words, and subconsciously took two steps back.
"What, are you dissatisfied with me?"
An Jie glanced at Maier in displeasure, and then raised her face haughtily.
"Foreigner, prick up your ears and listen to me! I am the daughter of the noble royal family of Eugus, the elder brother of the current king Ramogis, and a princess of the kingdom of Urgus! β
"Eh?!!"
The amount of information in Anjie's words was a bit large, and it took Maier a while to figure out what was going on.
In the absence of a son, a daughter of the Dugu royal family can inherit the throne. Ramogis had said that the civil war was started by his brothers, and that Anjie must have been the daughter of one of his brothers. Because Ramogis seized the throne by violent means without the edict of the previous king, Anjie, as a royal family, has the right to claim the throne.
The age difference between Ramogis and An Jie must be more than ten years, so he can't solve the problem by marrying An Jie. And his wife died after giving birth to Euris, and he didn't continue after that, so Anjie's existence became a big problem. Ramogis can execute Anjie as a rebel because her father lost the civil war and became the king, which is a legitimate crime.
But Ramogis didn't do that. He chose to send Anjie to the Temple of All Souls to disguise her identity in this way. He could have let An Jie finish her life as a spirit master, but he didn't do it, but after she became sensible, he truthfully explained her background to her, but did not mention her father's name.
For Anjie, who has lost her parents, Ramogis is her only relative. In addition, Ramogis poured a lot of affection into her, which made her feel the warmth of her father's love. Therefore, after An Jie learned of her background, she decided to accept the incense gift, so that she lost the right to claim the throne.
But Ramogis didn't let her do that, he let Anjie learn the skills of a spirit master, but he didn't let her accept the incense gift, because a spirit master can't get married. Ramogis promised Anjie that he would find her a husband who would make her happy, but Anjie didn't take it seriously. There is no doubt that the cauldron has now been seized by Ramorgis on Mel's body.
Mel's reasoning ended when An Jie entered the Temple of All Souls, and the rest was told to him by An Jie. An Jie said that she was willing to gamble and lose, but if Maier didn't like her, she could not marry her. That's what she said, but the meaning of her words was obvious: I don't like you, and I don't want to marry you, you can do it yourself!
