Priscilla openly talked about the faith of the old gods at the dinner party and attempted to rebuild its altar without any consideration. From this, the princess gained a precise understanding of the chaotic faith in Mosol City.
Vinakana shook her head slightly. What was the hostess talking about, and what does it have to do with her? Anyway, my group is only stopping temporarily.
After the dinner, Priscilla invited several wizards from Platinum Academy to visit a small but exquisite garden in the manor.
Vinakana heard the nightingale's chirping during the dinner. The sound was much better than the nightingale kept in the palace. She couldn't help but be a little curious about it. But even so, the princess still adhered to the idea of doing more is worse than doing less. She did not I don’t plan to follow him to the flower garden.
Jane put her hands on her knees. She, the two accompanying maids and the female knight Misty waited quietly for the maids to take the wizards who were not visiting the garden to the rest room.
At this time, the decent hostess Priscilla glanced coldly at the maid beside her, and raised her chin imperceptibly.
The maid understood what the hostess meant and immediately walked to Venakana's position.
"Madam, you are also a wizard, right?"
The maid subconsciously asked in Leiden dialect. After all, in her understanding, most women aged 17 or 18 have been married for three or four years.
If it is said that such a beautiful girl is not married and is a virgin, it is difficult for people to make up her mind to believe it. Not only she, but her parents will also be talked about.
Facing the maid's polite questions, Venakana subconsciously felt shy as a girl when she heard the address "Madam", but she quickly restrained herself.
"Yes, I am one of the wizards."
Venakana also answered in the Layton dialect, but to the ears of the maid, the princess's Layton dialect was not authentic and had many bad habits of southerners.
The maid felt scornful because of this, but she still acted politely and continued: "My master specially invites you to take a look at our garden. There is a nightingale raised there. Its voice is melodious and melodious, and it is better than many bards. It all sounds great. My master noticed at the banquet that you are very interested in that nightingale. She hopes to share this sound of nature with a beautiful woman."
Listening to the words of the maid's invitation, surprise flashed through Venakana's eyes. She never thought that she just accidentally listened to the nightingale's voice during the banquet, and such a small gesture was actually noticed by Priscilla. Caught.
After hesitating for a moment, Venakana nodded slightly.
"All right."
The reason why she agreed was not out of curiosity about the nightingale, but out of concern.
Venakana was worried that if she refused, she would arouse unnecessary suspicion in Priscilla. After all, when staying in a host's home, guests often cannot refuse the host's sincere invitation according to etiquette.
When the maid got the answer she wanted, she turned back to Priscilla and her daughter Alice.
........................................
........................................
Following the leading wizards, Venakana stepped into the garden, with the hostess Priscilla walking at the forefront.
There was a warmth in the garden that was different from the northern soil.
The wizards all felt the warmth and loosened the clothes around their necks.
Priscilla introduced it at the right time: "The underground of the garden is the fire room. The cook, hot water servant, firewood servant, etc. all work below. More than ten years ago, I had people drill holes in the ground. , the hot air from the ground can come up through the holes and nourish this garden."
Hearing such words, the leading wizard admired Priscilla's wisdom.
"It's all a gift from God Bel." Priscilla chuckled charmingly and mentioned the old god without scruple.
God of Bell?
Venakana searched her memory and remembered which god it was.
Sarabe, the God of Desire, is a remote god who rarely appears in stories. He is also known as the God of Bell in the area north of the city of Mosol.
The garden as a whole is small and exquisite. Relying on the heat coming from the ground, the flowers and trees planted in the garden are not single, and there are many varieties transplanted from the south.
Approaching the depths of the garden, Venakana saw a small piece of land with dozens of pots of begonias placed on it.
"Begonia is the soul of the garden and the witness of the entire family." Priscilla pointed.
All the begonias were in full bloom, and her daughter Alice ran to them and laughed happily at the thick yellow and pink begonias.
Venakana now heard the nightingale's cry.
Priscilla rubbed Alice's head, turned around with a smile, and she glanced at Vina Cana.
"Begonias will not bloom this season, but... everyone from Platinum Academy, thanks to your previous team for setting up a ritual circle here for me, they can bloom for ten days every month."
Priscilla gave a slight salute.
The leading wizard said repeatedly: "I would also like to thank Madam for her continued support of the academy."
Priscilla raised her face, and her charming eyes stared at Vinakana again.
The nightingale's cry was lingering in her ears, and the sound was seductive. Venakana couldn't help but listen carefully. At this moment, she met Priscilla's eyes. Those light blue eyes were so touching.
Priscilla smiled, turned her head, and continued talking to the leading wizard.
When Venakana came to her senses, the princess suddenly realized something was wrong and whispered the ancient saying "destiny".
She released her divinity, and her eyes gradually turned golden.
The princess looked at Priscilla with divinity, and in an instant, she saw the light of illusion gradually disappearing in Priscilla's eyes.
No one but her could detect the little illusion the mistress had cast on her.
Venakana was frightened for a while, frowned, and determined not to stay here for a long time, and left the garden immediately after the visit.
Past the begonias blooming on the ground, Priscilla led everyone to continue walking away.
Venakana heard the nightingale's voice coming closer and closer.
The more she listened, the more the princess felt that the cry was so sad that even a nightingale could not imagine that a bird could make such a sound.
Priscilla and her daughter Alice walked in front. When they stopped, everyone saw the nightingale, standing in a golden cage.
The nightingale's tail is extremely long, showing off its beauty. The two wings and tail of the upper body are light brown, and the lower body is white without markings. The eyes are dark white at first, the iris is brown, the mouth is dark brown, and the feet are fleshy brown.
Seeing someone coming, the nightingale stretched out its beak. It raised its head and sang loudly. The beak kept moving. Everyone heard its sad and moving voice and couldn't help but sigh.
Venakana subconsciously stared at the nightingale with divinity.
When that gaze fell on her, the princess was suddenly startled, and a chill came from her feet.
"Help me, help me..."
The nightingale in the golden cage sang like this, its eyes were moist.
A body smaller than that of an ordinary bird contains a human soul.
