Chapter 1331 Princess and Princess

The chill is at its worst in the early morning, thanks to the constant warmth provided by the house's built-in fireplace. The property Blue Fox purchased in New Roseburg was barely decorated and had few interior furnishings.

In this era, the Nordic style, which is known for its simplicity, is not popular at all. What everyone pursues is for the house to be as gorgeous as possible.

Those who are wealthy must place some terrifying ornaments indoors, among which ferocious bear heads are the most sought after, and polar bear heads are top-notch.

A large number of round shields with complex patterns were hung on the walls. They were not shields for actual combat, but had degenerated into a kind of handicraft.

They would carve patterns on the doors of their homes and apply chalk mud mixed with pine gum into the gaps. With the mass production of stained glass, even if they are colorful blocks, they can be easily made into cheap ornaments by stringing them together. Now it is cheap enough to meet the needs of interior decoration.

So some rich people decorated their oil lamps with glass beads. If there was a chance at night, they would pour grease into all the bronze lamp holders on the ground and light them. Then use ropes to pull the entire lamp to the beam, and the oil lamp matrix was created. Underneath are strings of glass beads, which are really beautiful.

But the Blue Fox's mansion doesn't have any of these, and he really doesn't need them at the moment. A big hand pushed the girl's cheek.

"Huh? Is it already...daybreak?" Blackbird lazily rubbed his eyes, exposed his two arms and then subconsciously retracted them due to the cold.

The blue fox didn't want to dawdle. He pulled on the thick leather and urged: "You are not qualified to dawdle. Don't forget my arrangement. I will take you to see the High Priest Ross today. You... must be well prepared." The girl did not Suddenly awake, she still hugged a furry leather cushion and sat up, quietly enduring the extreme cold in the north.

It was still dawn, and Blue Fox had already changed his clothes quickly. He continued to urge while adjusting his belt: "You have to get used to getting up early in the future. Those priestesses are all morning people, so you have no choice."

"Yes." Blackbird patted his face hard and thought silently in his heart.

"You are no longer Gisla." Then he started to pick up the new clothes he had put aside. This is a brand new leather jacket. The surface is made of extremely soft wool, and the inside is soft and sewn with a layer of fine linen.

She knew what it was—a precious mink coat. At this moment, Lan Hu, who had straightened his clothes, glanced at her: "Don't check these clothes anymore. I gave them to you. Oh, by the way, you have to show yourself like a woman. There is no makeup for you here, and there is no makeup for you in Asia." Ornaments from the Chen Palace. Don’t worry, you are indispensable for the necessary decorations.”

"Okay. Are they all gifts from you? You... are such a good person." The girl's words were tender, but they sounded really ironic to the blue fox.

"Good person? Yes, I am a good person..." The former Gisla is dead, and Theresa the Blackbird is the owner of this body.

But the girl has understood that she can't get rid of her Frankish noble origin no matter what, and only this origin can enable her to stay well in the Kingdom of Ross.

What is the equivalent of the High Priest of Rus? Perhaps equivalent to the Pope in Rome. She already understood Blue Fox's arrangement for her, which was to work under High Priest Ross. What did this amount to?

Maybe a cardinal? It was said that the high priest of Rus was also blessed by the Northern God and was a servant of Odin. So...because of the unknown, she was full of fear of the high priest.

He put it on carefully, secured it with a gold-encrusted leather belt, put on a brand new amber necklace, and wore a white fox fur on his head.

Dressed up in this way and with her fair face, she was completely white. Only the necklace on her chest was a crystal clear dark yellow.

After changing her clothes, she stood in the house and let the blue foxes swarm her. She couldn't help but ask: "Do all the female nobles of the Russians dress like this?"

"Of course. You now... look like a northern female noble." Blue Fox pinched his beard so much that he was very satisfied with his taste, and then ordered: "Let's have something to eat and then set off."

"Okay." Blackbird said no more. In Frankia, even nobles often only had one main meal a day. At other times, it was enough to eat casually to cope with hunger, unless there was an important banquet.

In the past few months, she has been controlled by Blue Fox. She eats whatever her brothers eat. Such treatment is high enough for a noble prisoner.

As the army returned to the mouth of the Rhine, the food became noticeably better during their final stay. In Rotterstad, a new immigrant city jointly owned by Ross and Denmark, the blackbirds naturally want to stay in the already fortressed Ross community.

She is no longer unfamiliar with how people in Russia eat, sleep, and even go to specific rooms to use the toilet.

Breakfast is to boil oats, add a piece of salted butter and sprinkle some chopped thyme, and mix it into a bowl of thick and fragrant porridge.

There are also cool salted fish jerky and a little sweet dried raspberry. The breakfast seemed simple, but in the eyes of the blackbird, it was already very good.

She was once a princess and she usually ate like this, but this was just a breakfast for Blue Fox and his subordinates.

This is definitely not the kindness of Blue Fox to his subordinates. In fact, this is how the people of Russia eat. The sun was about to rise, and it was freezing cold outside. All roads in the city were covered with a layer of trampled porcelain white ice. Even in Harvest Square, only part of the ice and snow had been removed.

In principle, all ice and snow can be cleared. Taking into account the needs of reindeer sleighs, road de-icing operations have been launched.

Blackbird hadn't had a good look at Ross's capital yet. She had a good rest, so she followed the blue fox and walked grandly on the street.

Because she had never had any experience in urban life, she was just a canary that had been locked up in the Aachen Palace, and her experience of rafting on the Rhine was just a passerby. At that time, everything she looked at was Frankish territory. But not a single inch belongs to her - the princess is just a tool for marriage and can never control her own destiny.

In Harvest Square, she saw people setting up stalls to sell goods despite the cold. It was the first time she saw a stall selling bread openly. There were some fat women openly shouting.

At the word "lieba", there was an endless stream of people coming around. She noticed that those people's backs were covered in leather, and their leather boots were wearing something that looked like a sled. Needless to say, these things were anti-slip.

There are also reindeer sleighs dragging messy furs into the market, leaving them behind and selling them on the spot.

She noticed that the leather merchants were openly displaying the monster's head! Startled, she hurriedly followed the blue fox, tilting her head slightly without thinking about anything.

No one paid attention to the girl wearing a ferret fur coat, nor the warriors wearing bearskin coats, nor the noble blue fox.

Or maybe there are too many people dressed like this in New Roseburg. Lan Hu didn't want to be as arrogant as yesterday. He had already learned that the whole city would discuss it again.

"Only one ship from the expeditionary force came back". If the people are allowed to chew their tongues, white things can turn into black things. It would be terrible if it is misunderstood as defeat.

Blue Fox has his own plan and has negotiated it with the Governor. Today's job is to put the girl Blackbird in the big temple, so that she can continue living with her new identity.

Meanwhile, the Great Temple of Rus. The golden light of the rising sun illuminates the snow-white world, and the glass shards all over the Great Temple are even more majestic, and a sacred feeling immediately arises.

At first, people in the capital and businessmen from all walks of life would be surprised by the magnificence of the Great Temple. Over the past few years, people have become accustomed to its existence, and they also learned that the shiny things are just a large number of colored glass pieces.

As for stained glass jewelry, it is already commonplace, but it highlights the preciousness of amber jewelry. Today was the same as yesterday. Verica, who was yawning, was asked by her mother to take care of the box containing the money.

At the age of ten, she is the next generation of high priest, and now she is also a noble deputy priest. Even if the mother is

"Dwarf", but his father Rurik is a real blond strong man. She inherited more from her father, and because she had lived a pampered life since she was born, Velika's height had long surpassed that of her mother, and wearing thick clothes made her look taller.

She is the next generation of high priest, and the lower priests present have to serve this little master well. Verica grew up in such an environment. In the entire great temple, only her mother, who was the high priest, had the highest status—and only Rumia could cure her daughter.

But Verica is not a domineering and arrogant woman. She is not afraid of blood by nature, and now she is so bold that she cuts the neck of the sacrificial deer without letting others take precautions.

The old people in the city saw the shadow of Rurik in the child. When Rurik was still a boy, he cut the neck of the deer with his own hands in many great sacrifices.

"Is today as boring as yesterday?" The yawning little girl wrapped herself up. No one had come to put coins in the wooden box yet, but the door to the statue of the god was already open.

"It's another cold windy day..." Verica wore wooden-framed sunglasses to protect her big dark blue eyes. She also didn't have blond hair like her father.

This mixed-race body doesn't mean anything. She is indeed the eldest daughter of the kingdom. In fact, all this was done deliberately by Rumia in order to train her daughter, so she made Verica stay outdoors in the coldest winter morning and look at the money box, so as to train the will of the future high priest.

Wait until the afternoon, Verika immediately

"Get off work", take a break and study something else. Finally, the boring wait is over? There was a group of people who didn't look like businessmen or outsiders.

There were some sword-wielding warriors escorting the two of them, walking straight towards the big temple.

"Come to work! You all wake up, let's go." Verica suddenly left her seat, calling for the lazy lower-level priestesses to follow her.

She felt that the person who came had a good identity. Because he was wearing thick clothes and sunglasses, the person in the lead seemed familiar but couldn't remember it.

Maybe he was really an acquaintance, or at least he must have come to the Grand Temple for business. Verica hurriedly took off her sunglasses to reveal her true face. The man in the lead was visibly shaken and suddenly took off his sunglasses.

"Is it you? Uncle Fox?!" the girl shouted crisply with a smile.

"Call me Blue Fox. Verika? Why are you staying at the door and freezing?" Blue Fox was also a little surprised to see Rurik's eldest daughter in the cold outdoors.

When the Blue Fox group approached, Verica deliberately twisted her body like a coquettish person.

"Oh, this is all the task of the high priest."

"Is it a kind of training? That's fine. Just in time, I want to meet your mother."

"Ah? Aren't you here to pay homage to the gods?" The girl was surprised.

"A visit? Of course you can pay a visit. However, I suddenly returned from far away Frank. I originally wanted to meet your father. Since the King of Rus is still in the south, I had to pay a visit to your mother first."

"This..." Verica closed her eyes, and a pair of eyes circled crazily under her eyelids. She thought for a while: "You can meet the high priest, but all your guards are outside. Only you can enter the inner hall of the great temple."

"Okay. I have only one request."

"What?" With that said, Blue Fox immediately pulled the ignorant Blackbird in front of him and quickly took off her hat: "We must take her with us."

"She? Isn't this a boy?"

"It's a girl, just like you. Even..." Lan Hu paused for breath: "As noble as you."

"Girl? Her?" Verica couldn't help but stepped forward and looked around. The person in front of her was indeed quite different from those boys in appearance, but the short hair paired with this mink coat was really strange.

"Who is she? Uncle Fox, what does she have to do with you?"

"This..." The blue fox was confused by the question for a moment. He hesitated and couldn't think of an exact word to describe the awkward relationship between them.

Unexpectedly, the blackbird who had been silent did not want to continue to be viewed as an object. The blackbird raised his head and opened his mouth: "I am Theresia. I don't know who you are. You can call me blackbird. I! I am the Blue Fox. Gouldson's fiancée, I am the Countess of Gothenburg." The words were spoken in Latin, and there was no sloppiness in the words.

Blackbird stared into Verika's eyes and said this, and before the words were spoken, the eyes of everyone present were already widened in shock.

"Uncle?" Verica looked at Lan Fox with evil intentions: "I thought you didn't plan to get married in this life, are you thinking about it? But this woman, why does she feel as old as me? This...isn't appropriate? ."

"You girl, why are you talking so much nonsense?!" Lan Hu covered his head and couldn't explain anything.

Blackbird continued to show up and said: "Our relationship has not been confirmed yet. As long as King Rus admits it, I will be his wife. No! Even if it means being his slave, I... am willing." With the last words, Blackbird is indeed bold. do my best.

"Okay." Verica shook her head and retracted her harsh criticism of the blue fox: "Woman, since this is your choice. Just follow the blue fox in. By the way, you are a woman named after a bird? Where did you come from? Come, why speak holy Latin."

"Holy Latin?" Because the words have

Blackbird was surprised by the definite word "holy", and the biggest surprise was that the girl in front of him was talking to him in Latin the whole time.

Girls who obviously live in two worlds can still communicate without any obstacles. Blue Fox simply stopped dawdling. He put his face on Blackbird's shoulders with a straight face and put his hands on Blackbird's shoulders: "She is Theresia. Verica, her status is similar to yours. She is a Frankish noble!"

"Frankish noble?!" It was Verica's turn to be surprised. She had to take a good look at the girl in front of her, looking around like she was appreciating gems.

"Oh, this is my first time seeing a Frank noble."

"She is indeed just like you." Blue Fox continued. Verica still kept talking and asked casually: "How is it the same?"

"You are the daughter of King Rus, and she..."

"She can't be the daughter of King Frank."

"Of course. She is the daughter of the Roman Emperor and the King of the Franks." Verica straightened up immediately, with a happy smile on her face as if she had discovered a large piece of gold.

She didn't care too much and simply grabbed Blackbird's hands: "Your name is Theresa? Are you really the daughter of King Frank? Hey, you are the king's daughter, and I am also the king's daughter. I remembered, your father The king’s name is Ludwig, right? We used to fight, but we don’t fight anymore.”

"No." Blackbird suppressed the feeling of depression in his heart. Now anyone mentions

The word "Ludwig" made her want to cry. She originally wanted to cut herself off from her past self, but now she really can't really get rid of her old identity.

"I am the daughter of the only Frankish King. My father is Lothair. Ludwig... is just my uncle."

"Oh? Is there such a thing? I don't understand."

"You really don't understand." Blue Fox said twice: "It seems that you don't feel the cold outside. I want to see the high priest, and you. Verica, I think you will have enough time to get to know this blackbird in the future. Lecia.”

"Okay." As soon as she finished speaking, Verika grabbed Blackbird's right wrist and regardless of Blackbird's feelings or Blue Fox's attitude, she happily pulled the girl into the big temple.

Suddenly Lan Hu was left hanging on the spot. He didn't know what to do, so he had to order his subordinates to disperse on the spot and go back to the mansion to continue sleeping.

He handed the sword and dagger to the lower-level priests present for safekeeping, and walked into the temple holding his hat.
