Before AD [Babylonian Favorites]

do you know.

There is this kind of man, when he wants something, the whole world makes way for him.

You could call it luck, but there's a more convincing way to say it, and that's,

God bless the brave.

--------

The senses are not clear, but the brain is fully awake.I didn't know exactly what was going on, and was a little terrified.Am I dreaming?Why can't I move my hands and feet, and my whole body feels so strange?

People's voices, music, footsteps and cloth rubbing sounds gradually sounded in my ears. These sounds came from a very far away place, getting closer and clearer, and then in an instant, a beam of strong light suddenly pierced my eyelids .

I opened my eyes suddenly, and I was dumbfounded as soon as I saw the things in front of me clearly.

What came into view were the beautiful faces of Arab beauties like the full moon.

They wear colorful tulle dresses, honey skin and black hair, slender waists and charming eyes. They sit or lie in the gazebo and courtyard in front of them, or dance to the sound of the musician's harp. The beautiful picture of the fragrance.

But that's not what I care about.It's the iconic palace with stone beams and pillars behind them, the towering gray and white columns, and the long corridor that winds all the way to the depths of the flowers.

That hallway, I will never forget it!That is the loggia in the palace of Persepolis!

Oh, God!This is actually the Palace of Persepolis!If I'm still sober, it seems that I should be in the museum. Why did I suddenly run to the set when I woke up?

I was stunned for a long time, and felt that something was wrong with the coolness on my body, so I hurriedly looked down.

God!I was actually bare chested, and I was wearing nothing but a large robe with open arms!A slender gold chain hangs around the neck, and the pendant is a gold plate with a hollow pattern.The indigo silk tunic, embroidered with delicate gold patterns, looked extremely expensive.

Although it seems to fit perfectly, but, it does not seem to be my usual costume!

I fell into a dream, feeling a little dizzy in a trance.

"Is Your Majesty here?" A thin, feminine voice suddenly sounded, shaking my nerves.

The voice continued: "Ah, Karius, hurry up and greet him at the door! Take him this way when your Majesty comes down! For Zeus's sake, our boy cannot be ignored!"

I followed the sound and looked back, and there was a very familiar person standing beside me.The big green clothes are embroidered with gold, and the chubby face is painted with rouge like a monkey's buttocks. He has no hair or beard, like a fat monk.

I remember this one very well, the actor who played the head eunuch.

So... this should still be filming, right?

I calmed down a bit and smiled at him.

Unexpectedly, his face drooped quickly, and he said angrily: "Bagos, you silly boy, what kind of muscle is wrong, what am I doing? Lower your head! Lower your head!"

It feels a little strange, but I can't tell what is strange.I lowered my head, my heart seemed to be vaguely separated by a layer of foggy glass.

The steward snorted coquettishly, shook the big feathered cattail fan in his hand and said calmly: "Bagos, you have to be obedient. You must behave well when your majesty comes down, you know? Don't think my words are ugly, I It's also for your own good. Goddess Aphrodite [1] took care of you and gave you a good appearance. Otherwise, life would be so miserable. It's not like you don't understand the chaos in this world. In your capacity, if you go out and do better, you will be suppressed by one person, and you will almost be suppressed by everyone..."

I heard him say more and more outrageous, and I couldn't help frowning.

Suddenly there was a sound of messy footsteps and noise, getting closer.The manager hurriedly stopped talking, puffed out his big belly, and waved his fan quickly: "Your Majesty, this way, Your Majesty!"

Ah, here comes Colin!

Before I could clear my mind, a pair of brown riding boots suddenly appeared in my vision.

"This is Darius' boy, Your Majesty," I heard the steward's voice a little excited and proud, "his name is Bagos."

"Bagos."

A young male voice followed and read it slowly.

The smile on my face froze, I couldn't help raising my head, and then my whole body froze as if someone had cast a spell on it.

It was a young man as dazzling as the sun.

A head of golden curly hair comparable to the sun, and ivory-white skin.

His facial features are very three-dimensional, as beautiful as carved from marble.The golden crown in the shape of an olive branch makes people unable to move their eyes away, while the golden armor and the red cloak tied behind the back make the whole person look radiant.

I knew he wasn't Colin, but I couldn't react for a while.

It seems that the body has been pressed the pause button, so it can only freeze at this moment.

At this moment, his sea blue eyes looked at me, without smiling, but full of tenderness.

The whole world seemed to fall silent.

"The castration is perfect, Your Majesty, he is Emperor Darius' favorite boy."

The manager's flattering voice interrupted my daze. He tried to lift the robe under me with a smile, but I quickly avoided him.What is he going to do?Knowing that I wear so little, do I still have to show off in the movie!

I couldn't bear to be stared at by this man's blunt eyes, Cancan lowered his head.

The manager smiled awkwardly: "He has maintained such beauty for many years, Bagoss, tell your majesty, how old are you this year? Or 19 years old?"

... I don't know how old Bagoas is.

I made nonsense: "19 years old, Your Majesty."

He was taken aback: "You can speak our language?"

I was ignorant for a long time before I answered: "A little bit, Your Majesty."

The man nodded and smiled approvingly: "Very well, I want to learn your language too."

"It's easy to learn, Your Majesty." I responded.

The man looked at me for a while, then suddenly said, "Tell me, Bagos, where is your hometown?"

I gaped.

As far as I know from supplementing the information these days, the character Bagoss is a mystery in history at all, and he has no background at all, so it is impossible for me to know such a thing.

"He is from the Susa Mountains in northern Persia." The manager quickly answered.

The man smiled lightly.

"Bagoss, look into my eyes, if I say I'm going to take you home, don't you think my eyes betray my heart?"

Before I could react, someone started booing from behind.

The man's eyes are bright: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I just want to ask you, do you want to go home?"

Finally, it is almost the same as the original script!

I blurted out the original line that I had held back for a long time: "My parents have died in the war, Your Majesty, I have nowhere else to go. If you allow me, I want to stay."

The manager secretly gave me a thumbs up.

It’s just this scene, didn’t we finish filming on the first day in Egypt?

"Very good, Bagoas." He turned his head and said to the beauties, "Ptolemy, you are in charge."

A blond man with a frivolous face poked his head out from among the beauties and looked at me blankly.

The man turned around, raised his voice and said to everyone: "What I just said is applicable to everyone in the palace, whether it is a eunuch or a woman, whoever wants to go home can go now. In my country , everyone is free!"

There was a sudden silence in the palace, and the next moment, the cheers broke the eardrums.

Petals of various colors sprinkled from the sky, with a faint fragrance.Some people tore off their clothes and waved them excitedly, while others sang and danced. It was very lively.

I gradually had some kind of bad premonition.

Ptolemy.Alexander's half-brother and one of his most important ministers.

After Alexander succeeded in conquering Egypt, Ptolemy was appointed governor of Egypt.Later, he proclaimed himself king and became the founding emperor of the Ptolemaic Dynasty in Egypt. The famous Cleopatra in history was his granddaughter.

Oliver used Ptolemy as the main narrator in the movie to recall the past of Alexander's life, so Ptolemy can be regarded as a relatively heavy role.

But watching the blond man slowly approaching, I felt more and more that something was wrong.He was wearing a red war robe and golden armor, most of his strong and slender limbs were exposed, which was different from the man's explosive fluffy hairstyle and a pair of brown eyes shining strangely, which made him look a bit ferocious.

He's not the original Ptolemy!

what happened?Why so many actors have changed!

I woke up like a dream, subconsciously looked around to find the director, only to find out in horror that there is no crew here at all!

"Bagos, what are you looking around for? Why don't you hurry up and say hello to Lord Ptolemy!" The steward's sharp voice suddenly sounded.

I hurriedly responded.

"Are you Darius' all-powerful male favourite?" The blond man squinted his eyes and looked me up and down for a while, showing his sharp canine teeth, "...Come with me."

After walking for a while, I was far away from the lively crowd.

I couldn't help asking the blond man, "What's going on today?"

"What's the matter?"

"Why did Alexander change?"

Ptolemy looked at me inexplicably: "Are you sick?"

I said, "Stop joking! Seriously, wasn't Alexander Colin? When did that person come in? Also, where was that Ptolemy? Why did he change?"

Ptolemy's slender brown eyes stared at me for a long time before he said slowly, "Poor Bagoss, you turned out to be a fool."

I glared at him.

Ptolemy cleared his throat: "It doesn't matter if you don't know Alexander, I will help you understand. Alexander is 23 years old this year, he is not married yet, and he has no male favorite or female favorite... But I advise you to spend less time on him. Otherwise you will be disappointed."

I took a deep breath and said tremblingly, "So... is this Alexander the real Alexander?"

Ptolemy frowned: "Why, is there anyone here pretending to be Alexander?"

After repeating this sentence 8 times in my mind, the feeling of five thunders finally hit my heart.

"Huh? Bagoas, what did you stop for?"

Cups!What kind of plane!What is this called!Where did I go!

"Why are you covering your head?"

Is it true to go to a museum?Is it true to get a ruby ​​ring?Is it true that the ring fell to the ground?Is it true that the ruby ​​is broken?Jared looking at me or is it real?

It turned out that after visiting the museum, I really traveled to B.C.!

It's better to hit him to death!

Ptolemy hurriedly stopped me: "My God Zeus~~~~~ What the hell are you doing? You can do such a courageous thing like smashing your head on a rock, I really admire it! This is Is it your trick to seduce the emperor? Does it really work?"

I want to cry without tears.

I'm not Bagoss, I'm not a male favorite, I don't want to be the unlucky guy who personally served the two emperors to death, and I don't even want to be a eunuch!

Ptolemy dragged me with blank eyes to a dormitory room, stuffed me in, patted my ass and left.

I sat alone for a while, then climbed to the dressing table in embarrassment.

A familiar face was reflected in the mirror, it was my face.

This face was lightly painted with makeup, and there was a thin golden ring on its head. The black hair was long and draped over the shoulders.

Very different attire, but it's clearly mine!

My mind was blank when I heard footsteps outside the door.

"Lord Bagoss, His Majesty said that you should go find him at sunset, and you can have some dinner before that. Would you like to have dinner now or later?"

The voice was very respectful through the heavy gauze curtain.

I felt my face snap open like an iceberg.

I didn't mean to go to him at sunset, but in ancient times, what else could one do after sunset besides sleep?
