Before AD [Babylonian Favorites]

Sure enough, Hephaistion's eyes widened slightly, his fingers reflexively grabbed the ring and turned around, before returning to his original expression.

"except this."

I remained silent, looked away indifferently, and my mind started to spin rapidly.Don't expect him to be merciful to me, especially if he knows that I don't want this to wear but to smash... next time it will be my head.But having said that, even if I get this ring, how to go back is still a problem. Do I really want to smash it?There's only one ring, if it's broken and I can't get it back, wouldn't I be completely finished?

Thinking of these made me even more irritable, I immediately lost the mood to deal with Hephaestion, and wanted to leave after a few perfunctory sentences.

"Wait," he suddenly leaned over, frowning, "Why do you want this ring so much? If I remember correctly, you were also excited to see it once?"

"Your Majesty, if you have time to care about me, you might as well think about yourself. Your Majesty is thinking about marrying a wife. Forgive Bagoss for asking, Lord Hephaestion, what is your attitude?"

I took a few steps back and changed the subject calmly, my head was already in a cold sweat.

"you……"

A sharp light flashed across Hephaestion's blue eyes, and he snorted coldly and turned his head away: "Goddess Aphrodite, how much do you know? You may be his confidant, but I'm sorry , I have no desire to tell you about my affairs."

faint.As long as he was not in front of Alexander, this handsome man who had always looked very tender appeared quite strong, as if he had changed himself.I opened my mouth in a daze but was choked back by him, so I could only mutter in a low voice angrily: "What's there to pretend, I just want to save face and suffer..."

"You go."

He came over suddenly, opened the curtain and looked out.The night was thick, the wind was very cold, and the stars all over the sky fell on his eyes, shining like fireflies.

"Bagoss, I boast that I have always been very accurate in seeing people, but I can't see you clearly. You... make me feel uncomfortable."

A negotiation broke up unhappy.

The next morning, Alexander's injury was better, and he immediately received the Scythian envoy.The translator on Alexander's side has been a little uncomfortable and weak in recent days, but he was worried about the translator on Scythia's side, so he left me as an interpreter.

There are quite a few people here today.Ptolemy didn't sleep well at first glance, and the big blue-black eye bags were extremely eye-catching.Krest was finally not absent, but his face was still stinky, as if everyone owed him money.Kassander naturally held one side of his face incomparably, while Hephaistion kept staring at Alexander, wishing to see two holes in him.

Alexander finally couldn't bear it any longer, and pulled at the corner of my clothes while others were not paying attention: "You didn't tell him about my injury, did you?"

I shook my head.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Speechless.People already knew that this guy thought he was covering up well.

The highest rank is a chubby bearded man in green clothes, with a huge sapphire inlaid on his turban.As soon as he entered the door, he vowed to claim that the Seven Cities Rebellion had nothing to do with the Scythian officials, it was purely a civil rebellion, and the royal family did not bear any responsibility for it.

"For the sake of Zeus, can you stop talking nonsense!" Ptolemy almost jumped up in anger, and he said angrily, "You think we don't know? Which of those troops is not your elite? Why don't you say it's from Came out of the ground? Don’t pull my clothes, Luxin Marcus! To hell, you old bastards..."

Luxin Marcus finally managed to cover his mouth and pull him back to his seat.

The envoys of Scythia looked at their interpreter inexplicably, and the interpreter looked at Alexander in embarrassment, and then at me.Alexander also looked at me, and gently waved his index finger on the armrest towards me.

I coughed in embarrassment: "What is the purpose of your visit this time?"

The bearded man immediately put on what could be called a cordial smile, stood up and bowed solemnly to Alexander before saying: "King of kings, one of the few great emperors throughout the ages, and the most respected guest of Scythia, His Majesty Alexander, your bravery The whole world can see it.”

"It's actually like this. Our little princess has just turned 16 this year. She is an out-and-out black-haired beauty. I heard that you don't reject Asian beauties." He looked at me pointedly and continued, "If If you wish, the little princess will be very happy to choose the young and promising Macedonian emperor as her husband."

Scythia's translator patted his sleeves and was about to open his mouth to translate, but was stopped by a gesture from Alexander.He moved his neck slightly before turning to look at me: "Tell me simply, what did he say just now?"

Sure enough, I sighed and said concisely: "He wants you to marry their princess."

Scythia's translator shut up unwillingly, and even gave me a glare.

"Alexander! If you are a man, don't do such a spineless thing! If you dare to marry their woman like this, I will despise you for the rest of your life!" Ptolemy yelled angrily, and pointed at the officials of Scythia and said viciously, "Marry me Marrying, kissing ass! We should kill them all to worship our soldiers. We have taken all seven cities, so why do you marry? Even if you marry the princess of Persia, no! Even if you marry a man Than marrying this woman..."

Ptolemy's mouth was covered again.

Alexander's eyes fluctuated, and he pondered for a while and said, "I don't know your princess at all."

"Your Majesty, she doesn't have to be your first wife." Hearing what Alexander said, the envoy hastily compromised, "She would be very happy to be your concubine, as long as the person she serves is you."

Alexander thought carefully and stopped talking.Ptolemy was panting like a cow, and his eyeballs were about to fall out.Everyone looked at Alexander, except Hephaestion.At this moment, Hephaistion seemed to be particularly interested in the gold wine glass engraved with patterns in front of him.

Is Roxana really coming out?I lowered my head uneasily.Alexander's first wife, what did his first wife look like?

"Do not."

Alexander's decisive voice suddenly came from behind.

"Thank you for your kindness. But she should marry whoever she likes."

"But……"

He shook his head thoughtfully: "Stop talking, Prince Troy snatched Queen Helen because of love at first sight. I don't want my queen to run away with someone else one day because she doesn't love me."

"But you must have a wife, right? But as far as I know, you don't have any." Scythia's translator was in a hurry, and couldn't help but cut the conversation.

"There will be."

After a pause of two seconds, the faint response sounded again.

"But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that I have someone I like...I love him."

Hephaistion slowly raised his head and looked at Alexander with an expression of disbelief, but his eyes were as bright as light bulbs.

Everyone was shocked except the group of Scythians.Kassander looked at me gradually frowning, Seleucus turned to me with the expression I expected, and glanced at me worriedly, Kleist's mouth shape seemed to be talking nonsense, and Ptolemy It was a long sigh of relief.

When I looked at Alexander again, he was smiling at me with his eyes bent, and raised his hand: "Bagos, translate it for them, don't miss a single word."

I have been with him for so long and heard so many words, and now I finally understand that this sentence is actually what makes me feel the most uncomfortable.It's just an instant kill.It's like a sharp knife, and the blood in my ear is gone in one stroke, and I can't see the wound yet.I froze and repeated the original words to those Scythians. After I finished speaking, I felt that it was not accurate enough, and I added a few words in a stupid way, until I confirmed that each of them nodded in astonishment.

The bearded envoy asked me in surprise and contempt: "Your Majesty is talking about you?"

I didn't even have the strength to shake my head, so I waved my hands pretending to be calm.

What, what is he doing now?He was indifferent to Hephaistion, he was still in a cold war yesterday, and today he confessed his love tactfully.I really don't understand Alexander, probably because I'm too selfish.Obviously decided to give up these emotions and become a wise king, why did it still happen in the end?My headache got worse and worse, and I couldn't think about it any more. When I thought about it, it exploded like a balloon, which just added to my blockage.

At the end of the meeting, the envoys finally gave up and prepared to leave disappointed.

I secretly shouted to the translator, wanting to ask the princess's name again.As a result, Alexander called me over before I had time to talk to him.He drank several sips of water before looking up at me, the sunlight came in through the crack of the door and fell on his long eyelashes, like a butterfly flapping its wings.

"When are you planning to leave?"

"It's just these few days, Your Majesty, don't worry, it won't take too long." I said vaguely.

Leaving without getting the ring is also empty talk.I already feel a little regretful that I mentioned this matter to him without any preparation, but now I can only take one step at a time.

Alexander's eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up: "Little boy, do you know that there is a very beautiful snow-capped mountain nearby? When we get there, I will take you to hunt, okay? Do you know that your ears are easy to hear?" Frozen red? Let's go catch a rabbit and make you a hat out of rabbit skin, it should look good on you."

I fill him with water.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You're welcome," he waved his hand and chuckled when he thought of something, "you don't know, I always wanted to have such a hat for a while when I was a child, but my mother not only refused to buy it for me, but also scolded me. Because she I'm always worried that the hat will cover the golden crown on my head, if I can't see the golden crown, people may bully me if they don't know that I am a prince."

"Then what do you do? Crying and making trouble?"

When I was young, if my mother didn't buy me the flying car toy I wanted, I would do it.

He laughed: "How is it possible? I'm not a girl. I have a nurse, who is Krest's sister. Seeing that I was depressed, she secretly made a top for me and stuffed it under my pillow. But I haven't had time yet. When I took it out, my mother found it and threw it away."

"..." Poor kid.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. I remember a little boy who said many times that he would dance for me. Zeus witnessed, is he going to break his promise?"

"Ah."

He froze and blinked, probably not expecting me to answer like this.The air froze for a while.

He suddenly said: "What should I do so that you can leave with peace of mind?"

I was taken aback for a moment, and then comforted me: "I will leave soon."

"You are not Greek, your ideas are unique and strange, you are angry with me, you can't understand what I do, you still hate me when you scold me." He closed his eyes and stroked his forehead, then opened them again, clear My face was reflected in the eyes, "You really make me angry sometimes, make me feel annoying, and make me feel at a loss in front of ministers, because I never know what you will do next."

He was so honest.I smiled to myself.

He put down the wine glass he was fiddling with.

"But do you understand, there is only one Bagos like this."

He lightly pursed his pale lips, his blue pupils were calm and serene: "I just want you to be happier."

A slender hand reaches for my cheek.

"stop!"

I raised my hand to block it, stepped back abruptly, and ran out.I know what he's going to say next, but I believe it's a pig.He teased me like this purely because he was full and couldn't find anyone to play with. I couldn't afford to play with him at all.I don't believe it, I don't believe it at all, why should I believe it?The wind cut my skin, and the bitter pain made me wake up a lot.I ran and ran, and finally stopped, and put my hands on my knees, panting wildly.

Alexander, you bastard!

Black hair poured down from my shoulders, I rubbed my cheeks that were numb from the cold, but I accidentally rubbed a lot of tears.

I don't trust him anymore.never.
