Chapter 19: The Princess's Tale
"So you want to work, study?"
"Actually, I didn't think about it that much. Schuilonu said, "I'm studying at a university now, but I have three more classes in my class not long after the start of school - I guess it's not impossible to fall in love while studying, right?"
"So if you meet the right person, you still don't reject it?"
"Well, but I just can't touch it. Speaking of this, Shuilonu was angry: "I don't care that they come near me because of my appearance, but I can't bear that they feel like they've seen through me when they look at my appearance." As long as I don't act like a princess, they're going to be devastated. I can't take a bus to the bookstore in the city center after the sun goes down, so I have to take their car and ask them to escort me there. Every time I get angry, they think I'm being coquettish, and I don't have to take it seriously if I coax me. I want to study seriously and don't have time to watch the literary aiqing film that has just been released, and they have an expression that the sky is about to fall. 」
"You're very assertive and need a man who respects you very much. Flomi nodded.
Shuilonu was stunned for a moment. She knew she needed to respect her man, but it only occurred to her now that it seemed that not every woman demanded as much respect as she did. When she thought about it, she had often heard that some women allowed her men to treat her as a servant (the point was that there was no reciprocal amount to give her housekeeping), some women allowed her man to be loud and loud to her family (the point was that the man was not particularly nice to her, and he was also loud), and some women would easily give up their jobs for her men (the point was that the man was quickly fired and the woman was not allowed to find a new job to support the family)......
She asked for a man who would respect her, and this kind of man turned out to be very rare?
"So it's all my problem that I can't find a boyfriend. Shuilonu sighed.
"It's the man's fault, right?" Gallagher interjected.
It was only then that Shuilonu remembered that Gallagher was still there.
Gallag's brow furrowed slightly, quite serious, and even made people suspect that he was actually discussing state affairs. "Women own half of the country's liliang, and it's a loss for the country that women don't get it to play. Is it the culture in your country that women can't show their talents?"
"Not really. Shuilonu thought for a moment, "How do you explain it? Although men and women are equal, but in a girl's life, there are people who want girls to be incompetent, and it is better to just sit and laugh and praise men for being amazing. And it's not just men who think this way, women think this way too, and some people always say that women can't do without men. 」
"It's weird. It's also an Ethara, you should be listening—" Gallag listed the names of several great women in the history of Ataro, such as a queen who roamed the battlefield and the soldiers were demoralized when they heard her name, a young girl disguised as a man to join the army in place of her elderly father and made military achievements, a wife who led the army after her husband was killed in battle to repel foreign enemies, a princess who commanded the army as the commander, strict military discipline and the respect of the people, and a husband and wife were both military generals, and there were even more who fought together. Antalin, the founder of the Holy Shield, and Cleusili, the founder of the Magic Hand, are both women who have excelled in battle. These stories are widely told and praised in the Ethero region. Although women are not always at the forefront like men, women's pride should be: if men are gone, you can support a country. If women don't have this kind of self-confidence, men can't fight with confidence.
"There are many women who are able to raise their children and raise them well even if they lose their husbands, and shoulder the responsibility of two people alone, which is undoubtedly a powerful force, and it does not necessarily have to cooperate with men to play. 」
Shuilonu was very surprised, she didn't expect to hear such words from a man's mouth.
Galag paused for a moment, and his brows tightened: "Will you start asking women to be incompetent - is it the influence of your country's continentalization? I remember that the "Oracle Sutra" said that human beings will go from the happy kingdom of God to the world, because the original woman could not resist the temptation of the devil who turned into a snake, betrayed God, and dragged down the original man. Based on this story, the Holy See found women unclean and forbade women from holding positions of leadership. In their culture, the reason why women are not outside the home is not because women are not qualified for those positions, but because women are not qualified to do jobs outside the home. Galaggard paused for a moment, and his expression was thoughtful, "'Unclean' is a very strange concept. The "uncleanness" of the Cult of the True God is a concept that did not exist in the Ethero region.
Even though gender equality has become the mainstream opinion, even if women in Duozhou have become high-ranking officials, they still cannot escape discrimination. Women in their country will encounter resistance at first, but after proving that they can do the work that would otherwise be done by men, they can gain the respect of men. Like Ms. Lyernot, the ancients called "women do not let their eyebrows be shaved", and absolutely no one in the holy shield dared to "treat her as a woman". There is also gender discrimination on both sides, but the connotations are different.
Schuilonu remembered when she was a child and fantasized about being a princess. The girls of her generation grew up watching the stories of the prince saving the princess, and she only now noticed that those stories were all from Duozhou, and every princess in the picture book was wearing a dress, and none of them were local princesses.
"To hell with those books. Shuilonu let out a long sigh.
Galag laughed, "The god who created us is a serpent. In the myth of Ataro, a serpentine goddess pinched the first group of people with mud, and the story doesn't mention the gender of that group, so it's probably together.
On the one hand, the snake and the woman rebelled against the gods together, and on the other hand, the serpent-bodied goddess created man, and the obvious difference between the two myths, although it was meaningless in reality, still made Shuilonu laugh.
"In this way, it seems that love is useless. Just don't talk about it. Shuilonu said. Since there is no man, a woman can be very good, weishenme must be in love?
"If you meet the right person, take advantage of it!" said Flomi, grabbing Shuilono's sleeve.
Galag exhaled and leaned back in his chair, as if helpless about what was going to happen next.
"I'm so happy to be able to meet my husband!" Fromie looked as if she was glowing.
Schuilonu's mind turned her impression of Flomi: she seemed to be a classic incompetent princess, who couldn't even walk well, and could only live on men.
"I used to get my brother hit my head and my brain was a little broken, and I would fall all the time while walking and hit my jaw all the time. You see, there's a little bit of scarring. Flomi pointed to her chin. But she wore so much makeup that Shuilonu couldn't see the scar.
Shuilonu froze. Flomi's frequent falls are not due to incompetence, but due to brain damage. In this way, her other mistakes can be understood. Brain damage causes memory impairment, so cheat sheets are needed. Coordination and control are problematic, so they will spill water and lose the microphone. Shuilonu scolded the media a hundred times in his heart, they felt that the international photographic machine was very suitable for writing news, so they didn't help her clarify such an important matter, and deliberately created the image of her as an incompetent princess!
"My husband said I couldn't avoid falls, so he put a mat and taught me to use my elbow to block when I fell, and now I don't hit my chin. Flomi smiled brightly.
Landing on the ground with her hands when she falls is an innate skill for people with normal brain function, but she has to train to do it, and God knows how many times she fell to learn this reflex.
Suddenly, Flomi shrank again, and let out a small wail. Labor pains again.
"Do you want to lie down first?" Gallag was so nervous that he leaned forward.
"No, can you wash an apple for me?" said Flomi.
Gallagher immediately caught the knight next to him, and there was another long list of instructions.
"Don't you really have to lie down?" Shuilonu tensed as well.
"Don't worry. Fromie squeezed out a smile and said.
Schuilonu whispered, "I think love seems to be just tying up girls, nothing else. 」
Flomi smiled and cupped Schulono's face, "I don't know what you've been through, but my encounter with my husband, our love has made me stronger. If it's true love, whether it's friendship, family affection, or aiqing, he shouldn't make you weak, and the liliang inspired by your encounter with him will continue even if he's not by your side. 」
Shuilonu pondered the meaning of Flomi's words, but did not speak.
Flomi tilted her head and smiled, "Can you help me remove my makeup?"

Rick boiled a bunch of pills in the very warm delivery room, making him sweat. In addition, he hadn't taken a shower even after a day of work today, so he borrowed their bathroom from the day of the sun.
Although this room is large, it was originally a "luxury room" for a small number of people, and although the bathroom was luxurious, it could not be used by many people at the same time. The irregular, floor-recessed black stone bathtub in the back is now ignored and only uses the shower area in front. Stepping on a small pebble, he stripped and showered by the transparent wall with silver branches in the mezzanine.
The sink was about four meters away from him, and the knights had added a curtain in the middle. After taking a shower, he heard someone come in while wiping his body, walked to the faucet, and heard the sound of the basin hitting the washstand, but he didn't hear the sound of water, only a "tuk", the sound of water dripping into the basin.
Xi Ke didn't think it was anything, and continued to wipe the water droplets on his body. It wasn't until he heard the sound of the pebbles on the ground moving slightly, and got closer and closer to here, that he felt bad.
The man went around behind the curtain, and Rick only had time to wrap his lower body in a large towel!
Shuilonu stood in front of Syck with a basin in one hand, her expression was not abnormal, but her pupils were slightly dilated, she took the basin to Syck and said, "There is no water in the sink, can you fill me with some water?"
"No problem!" said Rick. He tied up the towel, took the basin several times faster than usual, turned on the faucet to fill the water, and then bowed his head and offered the basin to Shuilonu with both hands as if he were serving water to the emperor.
「xiexie。 Shuilonu said, and walked out of the bathroom as if nothing had happened.
Rick stiffened in place for about half a minute before unbuttoning the towel and putting his clothes on.
