Chapter 82, the Royal City Banquet, is a hellish level dungeon. ...
"What if someone accidentally sees my face?" Shi Yu asked.
Is it possible that, like in period dramas, he has to marry whoever sees his face?
Of course, Shi Yu asked this question for another reason—in the game world, the words of important NPCs also represent part of the game rules, and he needs to know what the consequences would be if this situation were discovered.
The maid's expression suddenly turned serious, and she replied, "That would be a huge dereliction of duty on our part, and we would face severe punishment from His Majesty the King."
Oh, it was the NPC who was punished, not him. Then he can rest assured.
Shi Yu then asked, "What about the person who saw my face? What punishment will they receive?"
"If the princes see it, whether by accident or intentionally, that prince will be banished from the capital and disqualified from participating in the princess's selection of a husband. If other subordinates see it, they will also face severe punishment."
The maid continued, "After the princess turns ten, only her personal maid can see her face when she is doing her hair and makeup. Even the king cannot see your face, and in the future, only your husband can see your face."
Shi Yu: "..."
I see.
You people are so feudal.
In other words, he has to reunite with his teammates without revealing his face, while maintaining a naive and lovestruck personality, and each of his teammates is also wearing a different disguise just like him...
Let alone completing the main quest.
Even just the fact that teammates recognize each other is difficult to achieve.
"Won't I be punished?"
Shi Yu asked another question.
The maid said, "Your Highness is the apple of His Majesty's eye. No matter what you do wrong, the King is reluctant to punish you severely. At most, he will give you a minor punishment as a warning."
Shi Yu nodded.
This "minor punishment" should not cost him his life.
The king should be the most important NPC in this instance, so does that mean he has a guarantee of safety with the king?
However, what they are doing has absolutely nothing to do with safety.
.
Two hours ago, Shen Su and his group arrived in the royal city and were arranged to stay in Ze Guang Palace.
The royal city was very large, with no fewer than a hundred palaces. Each prince who came to attend the banquet had his own palace to stay in.
Except for the deputy general of the God of War.
Because the deputy general of the God of War needs to be by the God of War's side at all times.
After settling into Zeguang Palace, Chen Su took a bath first.
He originally wanted to take a bath, but then he thought that would be too indulgent and didn't fit his image as a war god. In the end, he just took a quick shower and changed into the formal attire his subordinates had prepared for him.
The formal attire was a silver-gray swallowtail coat, with minimal embellishments, befitting the simple style of the war god who came from a peasant background.
As he walked, Shen Su mentally processed the information about the "God of War".
The God of War's name is Suye. Suye is an orphan, born amidst the flames of war, and adopted by a farming family.
When he was 7 years old, his adoptive parents passed away, and Suye began to wander. He joined the army at the age of 12 and became famous in battle at the age of 15. Every step of his life thereafter pushed him toward the position of "God of War".
Su Ye's orphan background led to his cold and taciturn personality, and his title of "God of War" made people only dare to look up to him and not dare to approach him.
Suye is the God of War of the Kingdom of Ska. The King of Ska values Suye highly, and it can be said that Suye is the most likely person to become the princess's husband.
Perhaps it was precisely because of his god-like status that he was given a restriction—he was not allowed to approach the princess.
It doesn't matter at all.
He never wanted to get close to the princess; he just wanted to find Shi Yu and cause trouble together.
After resting for a while in Zeguang Palace, with several hours to go before the banquet, he decided to visit the other palaces to see if he could find Shi Yu.
The royal guards did not restrict their movements, but warned them that spies from enemy countries might infiltrate the capital and to be extra careful.
Shen Su's character is that of a "god of war".
The God of War is a god of war in the capital city of Ska, but in the eyes of enemy countries he is a "fierce god". Even if there are spies infiltrating him, they will most likely not dare to provoke him. Shen Su is not too worried about this.
He visited several palaces but did not see Shi Yu.
However, he did see several other "princes" who had come to the banquet like him. Some of them looked like Qin Ke, and some looked like Mo Rugui. He wanted to go up and exchange secret signals, but his deputy was following him closely, making it very inconvenient for him to move around.
Speaking of which, Ron, the lieutenant of the God of War, is really annoying!
He followed me everywhere, never leaving my side. Even when he took a bath, this adjutant would stand guard outside. No other person's personal maid was this "clingy".
He gestured several times for Ron not to follow.
Ron wouldn't listen.
He wanted to curse, but he could only speak three sentences a day, and he didn't want to waste those chances on this deputy general.
Without being out of character (OOC), he could only express his dissatisfaction with a blank expression.
.
Qin Ke felt that he was having a very difficult time.
It's so hard for him!
The palace guards warned that spies from enemy countries might infiltrate the palace, and advised them to be extra careful.
He was a veteran player, and he knew that NPCs in the game wouldn't say anything unnecessary. If the NPC said this, it meant that there must be a spy from an enemy country in the palace, warning them to be careful, as the spy might be right next to them.
They are very unsafe!
His role as the deputy general of the God of War means that he must sacrifice himself to protect the God of War...
The guards all said it wasn't safe in the palace!
This stupid War God NPC is running around everywhere!
He was just a deputy general; he couldn't exactly tell you to stop running around and stay in the palace.
What if we encounter danger?
He still has to protect this idiot and sacrifice himself for him if necessary?
He had no desire to sacrifice himself for this stupid War God NPC, so he had no choice but to stick close to this idiot.
What's even more infuriating is that this war god seems to look down on him?
Damn it!
You're just an NPC, what right do you have to look down on players?
.
Everyone in Shi Yu's live stream was drooling over her!
[My wife's gender-swapped version is so beautiful, oh my god!]
Is such beauty real?
[Even Shen Su can't see his wife's beauty, but I can, smug.jpg]
Shen Su and Qin Ke's live streams have a completely different style—
[Shen Su's inner thoughts: Why is this idiot always following me? Qin Ke's inner thoughts: Can this idiot stop running around like that?]
[Hahahaha, you guys calling each other idiots is hilarious!!!]
The greatest distance in the world is not between life and death, but between me standing in front of you and you not only not recognizing me, but also treating me like an idiot.
[Qin Ke: Why don't you recognize me? Is it because I'm not your wife?]
Even if Shi Yu appeared in front of Shen Su right now, he might not recognize him, right?
[Shi Yu is wearing a veil, has changed her gender and personality, and Shen Su's war god persona means he can't actively approach the princess... This level of difficulty feels like hell.]
[Speaking of which, this dungeon is quite fair. Whether you're a pro or a regular player, whether you're in a group or solo, nobody knows anyone else once you're in.]
