Chapter 296: Red Apricot (Part 2)
"By the way, Miss Owenna, you are already eighteen years old this year, right?" Mrs. Perry walked out of the carriage and looked at Owenna's face carefully. She was somewhat jealous of the other party's youthful and beautiful appearance, and of course, she was even more jealous of her youthful vitality.
Her eyes are bright, her legs are slender, her breasts are enlarged and her waist is as beautiful as a rose in her bud. Moreover, due to her long-term martial arts practice, she has a light chocolate-colored skin, beautiful blue eyes, and her long flowing hair, which are not Madame Perry has.
All she has is all the charm and charm of being a mature woman, and Owenna will have these one day.
According to Mrs. Perry's opinion, her clothes were extremely ugly, but because of her master, she seemed extremely decent.
This is the charm of a girl.
Owenna was a little unnatural when she was stared at by the other party, but she was not as shy and fearful as ordinary girls. On the contrary, when she heard Mrs. Perry ask, she replied generously: "Yes, Mrs. Perry, you remember correctly. I am already eighteen years old this year."
"Oh, it's time to join the upper class. Are there any people you like?" Mrs. Perry asked with a smile: "I can introduce you to some suitable candidates."
He said regretfully: "You don't have children yet, so you can't participate. Just visiting."
At this time, even no matter how generous Owenna was, she couldn't help but blush her pretty face. She thought to herself that this lady really dared to say anything, but she smiled and said, "Yes!"
"Ah, if you have it? Just have it." When Owenna said yes, Mrs. Perry was slightly disappointed. Maybe she felt that she had lost an opportunity to protect the media and lost a lot of money.
The Church of the Goddess of Love is located on a somewhat remote street with few pedestrians on the street. There is an open space in front of the church, which is used to park carriages and horses, and is under special care by servants.
Owenna handed the horse she rode to a servant, asked him to add some grass to the horse and feed it. She gave the other party more than a dozen copper coins as a reward, and the other party immediately agreed happily.
Mrs. Perry's carriage was parked next to her. With the help of the handsome coachman, the lady walked out of the car carefully. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Mrs. Perry's hand gently brushed the handsome coachman's hand. The very young young coachman's face suddenly turned red and his breathing became rapid.
Miss Owenna, who was standing beside her, saw the ambiguous actions between Mrs. Perry and the handsome coachman, all looked like she had seen nothing.
In the upper class, Owenna is not unaware that couples who are as affectionate as their parents are indeed rare.
Perhaps because she grew up in such a warm family, Owenna was very dissatisfied with such gatherings. She didn't like to participate in such activities, but her strong curiosity made her want to come in and take a look.
Although she doesn't like some romantic activities that are popular in the upper class today, it doesn't mean she will be so stupid as to stop others from doing this.
As a qualified noble lady, the people and things she has come into contact with since childhood are different from those of ordinary people. She knows how to be deaf and when to be stupid. She knows very well.
"Haha, you can wait here for a while, I will come out soon." After getting in love with the handsome coachman, Mrs. Perry glanced at Owenna casually. Seeing that she was watching the statue of the goddess of love very seriously, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, showing a satisfied and a little disappointed smile.
After explaining to the driver, she twisted her waist and walked to Owenna's side.
“What are you looking at?”
"When I was looking at the statue of the goddess, it was like a real person, very beautiful." Owenna turned her head and said with a smile at Mrs. Perry, as if she had seen nothing.
Seeing that there was no abnormal expression on her face, Mrs. Perry also began to be confused. Did this lady see the scene just now?
After careful observation, she confirmed that there was no abnormal behavior. Then she smiled and took Owenna's hand: "It's really beautiful. Let's go. You must have never seen the goddess statue in the hall carefully. It's even more exquisite than this one."
The two walked hand in hand into the Church of the Goddess of Love and walked in the corridor. Before they could reach the lobby, they could hear the noisy sound. Most of the halls were women, and they could hear it by listening to the sound.
I was a little curious about what Sly said that I heard by accident just now, so Owenna was always a little heavy, as smart as she had noticed the strangeness of this city.
What happened? Why are the ladies and ladies running back and forth all over the streets? What happened?
As soon as I walked into the event hall, this anxiety became stronger and stronger.
I saw that there were many wives and ladies in this spacious hall. They were all wearing gorgeous clothes and whispering to each other and didn't know what they were talking about. Among them was Sley, Owenna's female friend, and most of them were wearing all kinds of masks around them, ready to wear them.
I don’t know if it was Owenna’s illusion, but she always felt that this former friend had a faint helplessness on her face.
"Mrs. Perry, I saw a friend, go and say hello to her first." Owenna said to Mrs. Perry.
"It's okay, kid, go." Mrs. Perry smiled and nodded. She also had many things to do, so naturally she wouldn't mind this. After Owenna left, she soon chatted with the ladies and ladies around her. They burst into marvels and laughter from time to time, which was very lively.
Speaking of Owenna, she walked straight to her friend Sly, patted her on the shoulder, and smiled: "Sly."
"Oh, I was shocked, it was you! Owenna, why did you come here too?" When I turned around, I saw that it was Owenna, Sly was very surprised.
I liked and was surprised at this, as if Owenna shouldn't have appeared in this place.
"Why, you seem to be very surprised that I am here?" Owenna's confusion became even stronger. She looked at the gorgeously dressed women around her, then pulled Sly closer to her and asked in a low voice: "I just heard you say something in the carriage, why don't you want to marry them. I heard it was you, so I followed me and saw, what's going on with you? Isn't you already married? Why did you say that again? Where is your husband?"
"It seems you don't know yet. You talk a lot. Come with me here and I will talk to you slowly." Sley saw that this place was not the place to talk, and saw that her mother went there and was not here. She hurriedly pulled Owenna and the two of them came to a remote corner.
There were a row of seats here and there was red wine on the table. Sly poured Owenna a glass of wine first, then poured another one himself, and then told Owenna about what happened in the city with a bitter face.
It turned out that Sly's husband had already died in the battle as early as the first time the devil's disaster, and her father, who was also the Lord, also died in the subsequent battle. In desperation, she and her mother had to escape to the city with their property and land deeds, and began a long and tormented life.
There are countless ladies and ladies who share the same fate as her.
Almost half of the little nobles suffered great losses in this magic disaster.
"You mean, your husband..." Hearing this, Owenna's face showed a trace of guilt. If she had known this, she wouldn't have mentioned this, making Sly remember this again and feel sad again.
"It's okay, Owenna, I know you are kind-hearted, and..." Looking at the young and beautiful Owenna, hesitated for a moment, Sly finally told Owenna the whole truth about the matter.
Sly told her that the noble ladies and ladies who attended the party had lost their husbands and sons in the devil's disaster.
Or even if he did not lose his son and husband, his title holder was judged by the church and the kingdom to be dereliction of duty.
"All of it?" Owenna was very surprised.
"Yes, we all received notifications from our respective temples of faith and came here." Sley hesitated and said with a wry smile: "I'm going to get married, and it's a must!"
"How could this happen? Didn't the goddess of love emphasize free choice?" Owenna said in shock.
Love God, regardless of marriage, is something everyone knows. She controls the five priesthoods of beauty, love, passion, pleasure, etiquette, and celebration. This is clearly stated in the doctrine.
The purpose of the Goddess Church is to make everyone who comes here feel happy.
If you think that life is short, you should try your best to experience the various joys in your life. Everything that can bring joy is good, but it must be emphasized that the goddess hates compulsiveness, especially rape, and explicitly protects young girls and children under the age of twelve. Those who violate this will be severely punished.
After receiving the teachings of the goddess, a large number of people joined in it. Of course, there is no shortage of women who yearn for beauty and love, and most of them are noble girls and noble ladies.
Believers usually work together and have fun.
At the same time, the members here are also responsible for the important task of etiquette training for the newly promoted nobles.
Before entering the aristocratic circle, the noble ladies and young men basically come here to receive formal aristocratic etiquette training. Otherwise, they will easily be ridiculed by others after entering the upper class.
And these are things that are absolutely not allowed to happen when social activities are carried out in the upper class.
Because in this world, the aristocratic class lived leisurely in peacetime and the wartime era was too cruel, private living habits were unimaginable to ordinary people on earth.
In addition to these open public activities, the church often holds some activities similar to lovers' gatherings - the Masquerade.
The party that Romon attended last time was of this nature. In this activity, the noble men and women could freely choose the object they like, and the small mask seemed to be covered up. It can be said that they were not clear about who the selected man or woman was, but in fact, those who could hold and participate in such masked banquets were all nobles. How could this little person not know?
As long as it is not placed on the surface and as long as it does not affect the actual interests of both parties, private interactions have basically become a popular among the upper class.
No one would condemn this behavior. Even if a lady’s romantic affairs were accidentally told, they would be regarded as gossip and became a temporary topic of conversation. The male romanticism and female style were released to the maximum extent in such aristocratic gatherings. No one would think this was wrong.
