"I'm sorry, I can't promise you. ”

Just as everyone in the hall fell silent to listen to the declaration of His Royal Highness, who had always been known for his amorous affection, and searched for the lucky one in Ursula's mouth, a calm, almost cold word echoed in the air, although the voice was not high, but it was clearly audible, reducing the originally enthusiastic atmosphere to the same temperature as this voice.

On such an occasion, he was so blunt and did not have the slightest tactful rejection of a prince's marriage proposal?!

In surprise, everyone's eyes shifted, and they all focused on the goddess official who was alone in a corner.

In the eyes of everyone, the goddess still behaved calmly, as if she didn't feel any pressure, she didn't have a kind of beauty of independence from the world, and the feeling of being visible but forever separated from the world rose in the hearts of everyone who looked at her at the same time, and suddenly they had an inexplicable sense of identity with her choice, and felt that she should do this.

"Camerita, since the first sight I saw you four years ago, I have understood, your face is dazzling and even the brilliance of the sun cannot be compared, from that day until the end of life, you will be my only one, the god Ingrid sent you to me, then it is destined that we will be the right couple......"

Ursula's affectionate declaration of love caused ripples among the unmarried aristocratic maidens, but the beautiful and proud goddess replied faintly.

"You may be hallucinating, and God Ingrid has no time to talk to me about this. ”

In an instant, Ursula's face turned red, and the rejection of a public courtship was quite embarrassing for the perpetrator. His Royal Highness the Prince, who overestimated his charm and influence on the goddess official, obviously did not have the same qualified thickness as a ruler, but he still pressed it. After a pause, it changed to a deep voice.

"I understand your pursuit, but my heart will never change. So, decide everything according to the ancient duel before the gods, and I will use my hands to get your love. ”

As soon as the words came out, the audience was in an uproar!

"What is a duel before the gods?"

Gell looked at Lucarin suspiciously, and the silver-haired girl only shook her head with a puzzled expression.

"The so-called duel in front of the gods is a tradition of the Ingrid Church, because the goddess does not need to be in love and marriage before he is discharged, but the oppression of some secular forces makes the church unable to refuse, in this case, the so-called duel in front of the gods, that is, the challenger and the goddess's guardian warrior hold weapons for one-on-one duels. If the challenger wins, he or she will be able to marry a serving goddess in the name of the god Ingrid. ”

The explanation is the seventeenth princess who sits on the side, elegantly eating ice cream with a small spoon. The princess, who was still in her teenage years, saw Geer and the others turning to her gaze, leisurely took out a white silk handkerchief and wiped the milky marks on the corner of her mouth, and continued to speak: "Since the challenger is not allowed to find someone to replace and does not limit the casualties, and the guardian warriors of the goddess officer are the most elite warriors trained by the church, few people really carry out this kind of challenge, and there are very few successful people, and this tradition is rarely mentioned. ”

"And how do you know that?" asked Iona grinning. She has been in Sanssouci Palace for a long time, and she is very familiar with each other, and her relationship with the seventeenth princess is not bad, plus her female identity. Such a question is not abrupt for Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"My ancestor, Grand Duke Isado Jean Anslin, the founder of the House of Anslin, had one of his wives who was a goddess of the Ingrid Church, and who was also married after a successful duel before challenging the gods. This incident is recorded in the biography of the Grand Duke of Isado. ”

Just when the Seventeen Princesses popularized knowledge to Gehr and others. The situation on the other side of the rostrum has also changed.

"Your Highness, Carmerita is a trainee priest. She doesn't have a guardian samurai yet, so if you want to challenge the god to duel, you can do it after Camerita returns to the temple to take up her duties......" An old mamma standing behind Camerita stepped forward. Explain to Ursula.

"Shut up!

For the others, Ursula didn't have the patience to be so patient, and directly scolded harshly. "If Camelrita is not the elected priest, then she is free, and you should accept my request for marriage as a member of the Anslin family, which is the vow agreement of the Ingrid Church and my ancestor Isado. Ursula turned to Salorath, who was not far away. "Eldest sister, I have occupied this place, no problem. ”

Salorath's meaningful gaze swept over the prince and the goddess.

"Whatever you want, no one else will use this place except you anyway. ”

The number of vows agreed?

Ursula's words confused them again, but looking at the embarrassed and angry look on the face of the grandmother who stood in front of Camerita, they knew that this should not be a good thing.

Since they didn't understand, Gehr and the others turned their eyes to the seventeen princesses, presumably as a member of the Anslin family, she should have an explanation.

"Well...... This one...... Because of his background, Archduke Isado did things more casually back then, and because the matter of marrying the goddess official was not very pleasant with the church of Ingrid, and finally relied on the army to subdue the other party, so he also made some unfair agreements by the way......"

Although what the seventeenth princess said was relatively vague, everyone present still understood it, and then recalled some of the anecdotes of the lord who single-handedly established the Principality of Haisting that circulated among the people, it was not all a positive image, the strong contrast between the wild and untamable cottage robbers in the early days and the wise and martial founding monarchs in the later period has always been a topic that the people of Haisting have talked about.

Suddenly, a cottage leader robbed Mrs. Zhai, and then robbed someone with a dowry, forcing Mrs. Zhai's mother to make an unequal contract.

Gehr and Lucarin were fine, their faces were calmer, Iona had a blank look on her face, and then she showed a look of extreme envy, while the Brian brothers, who had a good impression of the church of Ingrid, did not look very good.

"Actually...... That goddess official was still very happy after marrying the Grand Duke of Isado......" Seeing that everyone was obviously not thinking about the good, the seventeenth princess, who knew very well what her ancestors were, explained a little embarrassed, but obviously her tone was not convincing.

But now is not the time to explore the past of the founding monarch, and everyone's attention is back to the rostrum.

"Mama Nim, go down and I'll take care of it. Camerita stepped forward and walked up to Mama, stopping her in anger. "I agreed to your god-to-god duel challenge, and I'll fight. ”

"My blade will never be aimed at you. Ursula said softly, and then swept her gaze to the church behind Camerita, "Is it true that you Ingrid Church will only let one woman come forward in everything?

The faces of the church people suddenly changed drastically, and a few younger men seemed to rush out, but they still couldn't make the trip under the obstruction of a few elders, in fact, the individual combat power of the church people was the strongest in Camerita, and after calming down, they knew that Lu Dao would replace her in the battle against Ursula, who was famous in martial arts, and they were not sure, but even if Zhi Lu Dao was like this, in the face of this almost humiliating word, the church people were still extremely indignant.

"Is there no one?" Ursula's voice rose a few points again, "What about Thule, isn't he your guardian warrior?"

It's familiar.

This was Gehr's first reaction when he heard Ursula's words, and then he reacted that the name Thule was the false identity that Salorath had prepared for him.

Then the members of his team turned to look at him, apparently stunned by Ursula's sudden aim at him.

Lucarine was surprised and angry, Iona was full of excitement, and the Brian brothers were full of joy, they never doubted Gehr's fighting ability, and it would have been better if he had come forward on behalf of the Ingrid Church to teach the prince who was arrogant and hateful in their eyes a lesson.

"Tulle, stand up ......" Ursula on the rostrum still shouted loudly, and the onlookers were also discussing, curious about this "competitor" that suddenly emerged from Ursula's mouth.

"That's enough, that's all for today!" After Ursula said the name Thule, the eyes of Salorath, who was originally watching the play on the side, began to become gloomy, and seeing that his brother was still a little unrelenting, he finally couldn't help but stop it.

"No, big sister, I won't listen to you today!" Ursula was very tough.

"Take him down. Salorath said no more, and prepared to forcibly take Ursula directly by the guards she had brought with her.

"I'm sorry, please forgive me for being willful, big sister. Ursula did not flinch, and his guards stopped in front of him, blocking Salorath's guards.

The guests present only felt that today's situation was too weird, it was originally just a matter of a romantic and amorous prince proposing to a woman, but then it turned into a gladiatorial drama, and finally it became a confrontation between the eldest princess and the ninth prince.

The situation was overwhelming for guests.

The rest of the royal family, including Flomien, stayed and watched the play, obviously determined not to take the initiative to wade into the troubled waters this time.

Just as Salorath's face grew darker and darker, and she saw that she was about to explode, a voice broke the deadlock.

"This challenge of dueling before the gods, I, Thule, took it!" (To be continued......)
