The morning market in the border city is different from other places; it is adjacent to the sea, rich in resources, and faces the Sai Empire to the south. It is a place where merchants from the north and the south meet. At dawn in the morning, when the sea breeze still carries a slight fishy smell, the streets are already filled with stalls.
"Fresh sea bass, only three copper coins per pound!"
"Roasted gooseberries, roasted gooseberries~"
"Extra edition, Extra edition, Seaside City News! Only three soli for one copy!"
The wind from the port blew through the streets, the sound of wind chimes tinkled, and newsboys rode their bicycles, delivering the latest edition of the "Seaside Morning Post" one after another into the sea-blue mailboxes of every household.
"Please give me one." An elegant and clean voice.
The newsboy stopped his bicycle, took out the newspaper, and glanced at the female customer: she had a pair of beautiful amber eyes, and was wearing a black and white lady's dress with broken stars printed on it, standing gracefully on the street.
"Whose daughter is this who is so beautiful?" the newsboy thought to himself.
Enya took the newspaper gracefully and turned to a young man, "The newspaper you asked for."
Although he is called a young man, he is no more than thirteen or fourteen years old. When he walks with Enya, it looks like an older sister and her younger brother, which is quite a warm sight.
"Do you need me to buy anything else, Master?"
Enya leaned close to Ansu's ear and whispered, "Is it the usual way, buying medicine to prepare for pregnancy?"
“Please don’t harass minors.”
Ansu didn't want to pay attention to his maid. He took the newspaper. The headlines were some boring gossips, such as #The Story of Prince Naraku and the Three Princesses#, #The Forbidden Love of the Legendary Hero and the Rich Lady#, and #The Adventures of the Female Knight and the Seven Goblins#.
I turned to the second page and saw the news #The goddess made a mistake, the cursed child was given a title by God#
The newspapers reported in detail how Ansu Morningstar, the cursed son of the Morningstar family, received the God-given title of "First Born" after his first prayer and became a quasi-saint.
"The evil cursed son is wantonly tarnishing the sanctity of the Church. This is the darkest day in the history of Border City," the reporter emphasized indignantly in the newspaper.
Studied journalism.
An Su looked at the newspaper, a thoughtful look on his face, "Enya, help me contact the editor-in-chief of this newspaper."
"Master. I understand your thoughts."
Enya had obviously seen the report in the newspaper. She was a maid who was good at observing people's expressions and immediately understood what her master was thinking. "Do you want me to get rid of the editor-in-chief of our newspaper?"
"We need to let them know what not to say." Enya said calmly.
Anzu turned around and stared at his own somewhat extreme maid.
As the attendant of the only heir of the Morning Star family, the maid is three years older than Ansu, but she is already a fourth-level assassin at the age of 17. On the surface, she is an elegant and quiet lady, but at heart she is a terrible person.
If Ansu really asked her to kill someone, she would not hesitate, nor would she ask why she should kill.
"No." An Su shook his head and replied, "I mean to give them money and ask them to increase their efforts! It would be best if the nearby city-states knew about it."
".?"
Enya tilted her head. "So your favorite way to play is to be scolded? I can do this kind of thing too."
".I'm trying to build momentum."
Ansu Road,
"In short, think about it, a cursed child with an explosive dark talent, a quasi-saint blessed by the goddess, and a wealthy family, Ansu Morningstar, who would be most attracted to such a character?"
Enya thought about it, then gave up thinking, "Naturally, it attracts me the most."
An Su ignored her teasing. He put away the newspaper and walked towards the library. The sparkling sea was half hanging in the blue sky. The sea breeze blew past, and the sky and the sea were shining with the light of the waves.

Ansu's life has been very regular this week. First, he went to the library in the Vatican.
We set off while it was still dawn.
The first stage of the Saint Test is the written test.
The test mainly focuses on the history of the Vatican and political theories.
He drew a blueprint and asked a tailor to make a nice outfit: a blue shirt with gray trousers. Whenever his father asked him why he wore this outfit, he would answer that it was very easy to learn.
Because this set of clothes was the high school uniform he wore in his previous life.
And Anzu also let the residents of the Naraku world experience what the Chinese miracle is.
I go out in the morning and come back in the evening. I also go for a morning run in the early morning and go to church for evening self-study at night. I even used my connections to buy test papers from the past ten years. I have to do three sets of test papers every day. I study all day long.
He studied late into the night and woke up at the crack of dawn every day, which frightened his father. He shouted, "Don't study anymore. Just learn to count if you want to inherit the gold mine!"
Such a diligent and hardworking young man is indeed like a rising star in the Holy See.
His calm performance also caught the attention of the Holy See. Many deacons who were dissatisfied with the Cursed Son changed their views on him. Of course, there were also many quasi-saints who complained about it.
The reason for this is that Ansu's performance has also caught the attention of their parents, so they have to use the same standards to demand them. Recently, the most common words heard by the students of the Holy Temple who are preparing for the exam are:
"Look at how the children of the Morning Star family next door learn!"
Forbidden from entertainment, forbidden from going out, forbidden from dating, the students preparing for the exam were overwhelmed and felt dizzy. They had no words to blame An Su, the culprit, and cursed in their hearts: "Damn you!"
But in fact, for An Su, it is impossible to get a top rank in the written test just by cramming this time.
An Su didn't set high standards for himself. Considering the original owner's knowledge and the unexpected change of fate this month, he would be happy as long as he could get a passing score.
Not pulling the overall score is considered a success.
Despite this, Ansu still gained a lot from this study. He became familiar with the political ideology of the Naraku Empire, the historical structure of the country, and the rise and fall of civilization.
This fresh and clear knowledge was not mentioned in the games in his previous life. As he continued to learn, he gradually deepened his understanding of this world.
At the same time, the editor of "Seaside Morning News" accepted An Su's money and started to do things.
These news experts know how to hype things up, so the headlines in the morning papers every day are like 'The Cursed Child and the Three Princesses' Untold Story#, #The Cursed Child and the Rich Lady's Forbidden Love#, and #The Cursed Child and the Seven Goblins' Adventures#
There is also the #Cursed Child and the Maid Lady's Sadomasochistic Legend#
It seems that Enya forced the editor to add the last one.
Regardless of the process, Ansu's deeds gradually became popular in several surrounding city-states.
It was dusk again.
Ansu finished a day of study.
He is confident that he can pass the written examination.
Moreover, the news has almost spread.
Next, it’s time to plan the next step.
Ansu put down the book and walked out of the library. Enya leaned against the door, reading the new issue of the newspaper, waiting for him quietly.
"Let's run away from home." This was the first sentence An Su said.
"Are you going to elope with me?" Miss Enya put down the newspaper and asked calmly.
".The lower woman."
