Celestial night

Soon the people of Baghdad are looking forward to the once-a-year carnival celebration --- Fire Festival.

The fire festival lasted for three days, with carnivals from top to bottom, including fireworks and firecrackers, as well as the much-anticipated orange link, and finally the climax was lit at the altar at the end of the main road at midnight.

Celebrate the arrival of spring by burning altars to drive away bad luck.It was soon derived that envoys from various city-states came to Baghdad to participate in the celebration and pray for good weather in the coming year.

If you want to say what is the most enthusiastic and lively activity for the people of Baghdad during the Fire Festival, it must be the Orange War.

It is rumored that there was once a lord who ruled the whole north. The lord was so evil that he ordered every bride to have intercourse with him first on the wedding day. The sex lasted for many years, until the daughter of a city lord chopped off the girl with an ax on her wedding night. Lord's head.Inspired by her, the people of other city-states began to rebel, occupied the main city of Baghdad, and burned everything of the lord with a big fire.This gave birth to the later northern city-states.

Since then, people in Baghdad have thrown oranges around as a comparison to the heads of lords, and over time it has evolved into the "Orange War".The shattered flesh and juices represent the blood of tyrants.

This festival is a festival to fight against oppression, against slavery, against oppression, and to gain freedom.

She couldn't help finding the prince and wanted to invite him to go with her.

"Your Highness..." the girl walked into the prince and said.

The prince was on the balcony and she found that the prince was looking at the devil intently.The demon shuttled through the streets and alleys, and was stuffed with a lot of medicinal materials and cloth by the passers-by.

The girl knew something was different.

In the fairy tale, the prince and princess lived happily together at last.

But the girl knew that this was all an illusion.

He is the only daughter of the old city lord, who grew up surrounded by stars, and the old city lord loves her very much.But as time passed, the old city lord became weaker and weaker.Until one day the old city lord picked up the prince and brought him back to Baghdad, disgraced and of unknown origin.

The old city lord lived a bright and upright life, but the only thing he couldn't let go of was his daughter, the jewel in his palm. He knew that the prince would make a lot of achievements in the future, so he wanted his daughter to marry the prince and become a solid pillar for his daughter.

But when the girl was young, she was arrogant and did not want to marry a prince of unknown origin and low status.The girl was the first to find the prince.

"I don't want to marry you," said the girl.

The prince didn't respond, and he also meant it.

The girl continued:

"But I can't disobey my father's only wish before he died. Therefore, I will make a contract with you for three chapters."

"One, you can't touch me. Two, you can't interfere with my freedom," the girl said.

The prince agreed, and the old city lord was kind to the prince.

The lord of the city wanted to succeed the young man, but the young man refused, saying that he was just a foreigner.

The old city lord died, and then the young man married the princess and lived a life of respect as a guest.

But day by day, the prince became more and more dazzling and won the hearts of the people.

The princess is gradually attracted by the prince.

The girl began to try her best to attract the prince's attention, but no matter how good-looking she was, the prince still abided by their agreement and never crossed the line.

The girl fell in love with him more and more, but no matter how hard the girl tried, there was no shadow of her in the prince's eyes.

Although the prince has always treated him with respect, as they agreed at the beginning.

In fact, the girl knew that the prince seemed approachable and polite, but in fact he was more like a man pretending to refuse everyone's prying eyes.There is an iceberg hidden thousands of miles away under the mask, which cannot be melted no matter how close it is, and it will even be burned by the penetrating cold.

There is still a lot of time for her to slowly try to approach him, because there is no one who is closer to him than herself.

Until a red-robed bard arrives.

The prince opened a door, and out came a man.

The girl didn't take it seriously at first, thinking she was an insignificant person.

The days became more and more smooth, and even the prince treated her better and better, and the prince began to get closer and closer to her.

The girl felt that her day of waiting was coming.

The girl met the devil by chance.The demon is dark in profile and has hair like silk.The eyes are very gentle, like the wind in March, warming people's hearts.There was something in his eyes that he had never seen before.

The princess felt a little uneasy, but quickly comforted herself, like a person blinded by love.

Until she took the initiative to find the prince.

The prince stared intently at the demon passing through the market, his eyes were soft and unbelievable.

"What is your relationship with him?" the princess asked involuntarily.

"Yeah...what's the relationship." The prince was also very puzzled.

At last the prince said: "

I want to see him cry, I want to see him laugh, I want him to be mine from beginning to end, inside and out.I want to tell him my deepest desire, but I just can't accept the slightest rejection from him.Like a lost lamb, he is anxiously waiting for the final judgment all day long. "

The prince looked soft.The prince melted but not because of her, because of the demon.

"He is special, like the apple of Eden, taboo but flocked to, like an addiction that can't be quit."

It wasn't until now that the girl realized that the prince had only demons in his eyes from beginning to end.

The prince has a layer of film when facing everyone, he looks kind, but he is out of reach, except for the devil.

"Why do you insist on being obsessed with him?" The princess's heart was trembling.

"If only I knew... I wouldn't be so painful, worrying about gains and losses." The prince's tone was helpless and even sarcasm.

Demons are different.

Why?Why?

Too unwilling, the princess was trembling all over.Am I inferior to that person?Why have you been unwilling to look at me for so many years.

It's really... jealous.

She fled in a hurry and bumped into the devil, whispering in her mouth.

"Sorry."

Since I can't get it, destroy it with what you love, with this city.

The celebration is approaching, and the envoys of various countries have made arrangements.

In the evening, the prince entertained the ministers at the altar, and the prince sat at the main seat to receive the toasts and accompanying gifts from the envoys and ministers.The demon stands behind the prince with his back to the altar.

The altar torch is glazed tiles with intricate painting, and reliefs on the tiles depicting various ferocious beasts. Beautiful red tiles adorn the interior.

The atmosphere gradually heated up until the midnight altar fire was lit and pushed to the climax.Many people stood by the fire and made sounds of admiration.More people cheered, though, and some danced to the accompaniment of the band.Ushered in the spring.

Finally, the girl stepped forward and offered a gift like a prince.

At the ceremony, the girl opened the box given to her by the priest many years ago, like Pandora's box.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning flashed and thundered, and people fell into darkness, and people fled in all directions like a doomsday scene.

The voice of the Kamal priest came from the box.

"Third Prince, it's a pleasure to see you again," said the priest.

"This is a small gift from me, please accept it with a smile." Before he could finish speaking, the prince's flaming sword split open the wooden box.

But it was too late.

The city the girl loves, and the people she loves, have all turned into black stones.

The girl slumped helplessly on the steps of the altar.

No, it's not like that I can't help shaking my head.

Why did it become like this, she didn't want to destroy the city.

The prince said to her:

"You have done unforgivable things, you have betrayed your own people."

"I can execute you at any time."

The girl collapsed, prostrate on the steps of the altar, weeping bitterly.What did she do, what did she do? Bewitched by selfishness, she became an eternal offender.

The prince looked at the demon, and gently drew his sword away.

A white robe with green trim appeared in front of the girl's eyes.

The demon stepped forward and stood in front of the girl.The princess looked up at the demon and prayed to him, and also asked your lord to ask His Majesty to save Baghdad.

He touched the top of the girl's head and wiped away the traces of her tears.

"You are the princess surrounded by the people of Baghdad and the master of Baghdad." said the devil

The devil spoke to him so softly, and his eyes were shining, like the universe, containing everything.The devil also looked like this when he said the prince.Just like the situation when the girl asked the devil at that time.

"Why do you follow the prince?" the maiden asked the demon.

"He is destined to rule the world, and he has the courage and perseverance to take all responsibilities." The devil said.

The devil knows the prince's intentions, his ideals, his frivolity, his sharpness, and his snobbery.Appreciate him for doing his best for what he loves, appreciate his tenacious soul, and appreciate his self-willedness regardless of everything.

These all constitute the dazzling, eye-catching, and shining him.

She saw the world that the devil saw that day, and that was an all-encompassing belief.

really...

jealous.

The prince looked at the demon who was walking in front of him step by step, half kneeled in front of him, and kissed the back of his hand.

The prince looked cruelly at the demon, seeing his downcast eyes and smooth curly hair.

Let me see what your options are.Baghdad is beautiful, so unreal and so fragile it's like a fantasy.So pray to me, make a wish to me, I will grant everything you want.

The prince waited patiently for the devil to speak, for the prey to throw himself into the net.

The devil said he wanted to save the city.The prince gave a contented smile.

"I promise," said the prince

"Your power will be used by me to lift the curse of Baghdad." Kiss on the forehead of the devil.

You are the driftwood of the drowning man,

You are my wild utopia.

I will give you everything,

And only I can give it to you.

The princess hugged the sleeping devil and carried him to the bed, only seeing the light and shadow cast by the fireworks outside the window, just like in the desert city.

The prince feels the temperature under his hands, the texture of the skin is real, let the devil's hand press on his hot chest, you touch my heart, he is beating for you.I am addicted to you, exhausting all possibilities, loyal, secret, rough, and dissolute.All crazy ideas want to be realized step by step on you, as if you really have you.

No matter when I can't be indifferent to you.At first I didn't know why, until I understood that a word is called "one thousand years at a glance".Your voice and smile, every breath and every death I want to collect.I want to occupy your whole life, I want to occupy your eternal soul, I want to measure you with kisses inch by inch.

I love you and want to own even your death.

The prince looked at the sleeping demon, stroked the demon's ruby, and planted a kiss on his eye.The necklace is a trap, a shackle that can never be escaped, like a confirmation of belonging.

The author has something to say:

First of all, the Orange War is also called Ivrea's "Orange War". To put it bluntly, everyone was divided into three camps that day and the oranges smashed people. It should be very cool.Much of the Fire Festival is borrowed from Spain's Fallas, a type of carnival.This festival is also known as the Fire Festival because it welcomes spring by burning dolls.

Fire has always had a special symbolic meaning, whether it is the stealing of fire by Prometheus or the burning in different cultures, there is a spirit of rebel in it.Most of the fire represents cleanliness.

Finally, as we all know, revenge stories must have villains.
