Although I am an atheist, as a princess of the dynasty, and with the name of God's favorite, it is still necessary to go to the temple from time to time.

When I came out of the temple, the sun had just risen. Lie crouched down at the foot of the stone steps beside the temple, slowly rose up, and reached out to support me.

Someone approached from afar, and I lifted the gauze hat from my head a little to see who was approaching.

Ansuna.

Her dress is not what it used to be, sexy clothes made of gold thread and satin, bare large areas of honey-colored skin, her arms and chest are painted with delicate patterns in dark blue colors, she wears a golden scorpion-shaped tassel hair ornament on her head, and wears a gold belt made of thirty-three gold beads around her waist, hand-rings and ankles with colored beads, delicate arms, luxurious and honorable, and her walking posture has a frightening enchantment.

I stood still, she walked to the steps, the corners of her mouth curled, but there was no smile in her eyes: "Elsis, you came so early." ”

Ya Li's face changed suddenly, and she shouted: "Presumptuous! Is the princess's name your name? Do you want to have your tongue plucked out? ”

"Ah, that's what Pharaoh allowed me." She smiled and flicked her nails lightly, and said a little casually: "Besides, it's just a name, what's not to call it?" ”

There was no way for her to argue with her whether Pharaoh had promised her to call me by my name, but she never had no reason to ask for trouble with others, and she immediately shouted at the maids who followed Ansuna, "Are you blind? The princess is here, and she doesn't know how to salute? In that case, it's better to gouge out all your eyes! ”

The maids were so frightened that they immediately fell to the ground and begged for mercy. Ansuna was not nervous at all, and said in that nonchalant tone: "Oh, Lady Yali is going to enforce the palace rules today, and I just happened to open my eyes." ”

Ya Li's face turned pale with anger at her attitude, and she was about to have a seizure, I reached out and gently stopped her, and said lightly: "It depends on the owner to beat the dog, Ya Li." If you want to deal with them, their master is still standing here, and she has to be given some face. Even if you don't give her face, you have to give my father face, right? ”

Yali smiled: "Yes, the princess is right. ”

"Besides, the masters and servants in this palace are humble and humble, how can the subordinates not know and not understand? If you are a stupid person, you can't learn to be obedient if you gouge out your eyes and cut your tongue, so it's better to ignore it. ”

"Yes, the princess said so." Yali held me up, "Princess, please slow down." Let's take a walk tomorrow. ”

"No, I like to walk." I put down the veil in front of my hood and stopped looking at the woman.

Maybe what she did before was just posturing, maybe she finally figured it out, and the old woman was not bad, at least with her character and talent, Pharaoh would definitely like her, at least, for a while.

As for whether she got carried away, or was she ......

What does that have to do with me?

Pharaoh has more women, she is not more, and less is not less than her.

She's beautiful, so what?

Ansuna's mouth tightened into a line, and she forcefully turned her face to the side.

I walked past her and didn't look back.

I walked to the side room where Immorton lived, and today I had brought a saber with me, and I wanted to have a good lesson with him.

"Princess." The young monk beside Immorton passed me with a large stack of things in his hand and hurriedly saluted.

"No need to be polite, you are ...... Where are you going to move these? ”

The things written on these papyrus scrolls are the lifeblood of Immorton, what is he going to do with such a hug?

"Ah, the priest, he's packing his things, and he's going to take them with him."

"Take it away?"

"Yes," he said, bowing his head, "the priest will move to the temple outside the palace to take care of the affairs there." ”

I was stunned: "Who said that?" When did this happen? That...... So what to do here? ”

"Princess."

I turned my head, and Imorton was standing at the end of the hallway, and his voice came faintly, as if it had traveled through time and smoke: "The princess came early today. ”

I ignored the etiquette and strode over to him: "Why did you want to move?" ”

"There is a new temple outside the palace and needs to be taken care of, so ......"

I was stunned, it was a hot day, and the sun was rising, but I felt a chill spreading under my feet.

"Why...... I don't know anything about ......."

Why so suddenly, why leave, why...... Why didn't he even think to tell me?

"I wanted to say goodbye to the princess today, but since you're here, then I don't have to go over."

I felt like a numb mass in my throat, hot and painful, I couldn't swallow it, I couldn't spit it out. The dark corridor was filled with the afterglow of sprinkling and the smell of incense, and I felt that the person in front of me seemed to be far away or near, his appearance, his voice, his breath...... So trance-like and unreal.

He...... What exactly did he think?

What am I in his heart? Does he have ......

"Princess, princess?"

I lowered my head, and after a while, I made a somewhat hoarse voice: "That's the case, I'll see you later...... It's not that easy. ”

He whispered, "If the princess wants to see me, she can go to me...... I will also come into the palace from time to time. ”

"You're gone, what about here, what to do?"

"After I'm gone, Kabuda will take over."

I thought of the fat-headed, smiling guy with a sick stomach in my chest.

"He? He's just a priest......"

"Princess, there is still time to spare, please come in and sit down." His gaze fell on my saber: "I can teach the princess swordsmanship one more time." ”

I walked into the house in a daze, the room I knew was empty, everything that belonged to Immorton had been emptied, and only the tables and chairs were still there. There were two glasses on the table, each with a little residual liquor in them.

I was a little confused, but I wasn't in the mood to ask him who had been here just now.

Maybe the guy in Kabuda who finally got a chance to get ahead came to see him off, right?

He smiled apologetically, put the two cups away, replaced them with new ones, and brought out a jar of grape juice.

I couldn't bear it anymore, and a sentence rushed out of my mouth: "Can't you not go?" ”

He glanced at me, turned around, and poured the grape juice into the cup: "Pharaoh, Prime Minister, Priest...... Everyone thought I should leave the palace. Don't think about it, princess, my departure is not a bad thing for you. ”

I suddenly woke up, and there was a sudden sour and tingling pain in my heart: "They forced you to leave!" Isn't it? Because of me, I'm ...... with you."

"Princess!" He stopped what I was about to say, a majesty and solemnity I had never seen on his face. It is no exaggeration to say that at that moment I was so intimidated by his momentum that I couldn't even say a word.

"Princess," he said softly, "The princess and I are both teachers and students, confidants, but human words are terrible, and for the sake of the princess's reputation, I should also move out." ”

I knew I had lost my words.

But......

Is it true that he and I are just teachers, students and confidants?

My eyes widened, trying to find something on his face, in the corners of his eyes and lips, for something I was hoping for......

I saw him sigh softly and turn his head away.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

I don't know how I got back, but I felt very heavy, and my legs seemed to be filled with lead, and it was very difficult to walk step by step. When I got to the dormitory, I threw myself into bed.

"Princess, princess." Yali knelt beside the bed, her voice choked: "Princess, I can't stand you." Actually, I already knew about it, but, I didn't tell the princess......"

I didn't say anything, I just felt so tired that I didn't want to say a word.

"Princess, princess was sad, so she beat me and killed me, and I never complained a word. Princess, don't be stuffy in your heart, it will come out......" Yali cried: "Princess, if you have grievances and anger, just send it at me...... But the pharaohs and the priests have decided so, princess...... Don't do anything stupid, and don't hurt yourself......"

I didn't want to cry, really.

But when Yali said this, I felt a burst of sourness in my heart.

I turned my face sideways, letting the tears from my eyes drain silently and quickly from the pillow.

"Princess ......"

"Ally, don't say it."

My sadness wasn't all because of the sudden separation.

But...... He was always as if he was far away, as if he was near, and far away.

I couldn't see through him, I couldn't understand him.

We've known each other for so long, and when it came time to separate, I still couldn't get a word from him.

Immorton, Immorton, I still don't know if I'm singing a one-man show from beginning to end.

Why don't you give me a clear answer?

I raised my arms to cover my eyes, as if to stop my tears from falling.
