Persian Assassin: Dance of the Prisoners

Your Majesty, or... the person you hide deep in your heart? "His hand pressed against my chest, and his low and seductive voice pierced through my chest to my heart.

"...he's long gone."

My chest shrank suddenly, and I froze there, answering in a daze.Sweat dripped down my eyelids as if I had shed a tear.

"Really? Then, how about I protect you from now on..."

The chin was lifted by the hand touching the neck.He looked at me with lowered eyelids, like an evil god from the underworld scrutinizing and controlling an unyielding solitary soul, and there were some emotions in his eyes that I couldn't understand.I stared blankly at the eyes behind the pair of masks, he lowered his head slowly, covered the corners of my eyes with his lips, and gently sucked away my sweat, and I woke up like a dream——I was bewitched by this guy again !

"Go away! I don't need anyone's protection!"

I twisted my wrists and struggled, there was a sound of breathing close to me, and my movements suddenly became rough, ripping off my clothes to my shoulders, and throwing me on the table again.The moment my chest touched the cold marble tabletop, his waist was tightly wrapped into his arms, and he took off my coat completely and threw it on the ground.

The humiliating attire under his clothes was exposed to his eyes, and it was nothing more than torture for me.The instant shame and the coolness of the sweat evaporated all over the pores, making me shiver uncontrollably.It seemed that he was not in a hurry to strip me naked, and the fingers that slid down stopped on my waist, gently brushing the gold leaf, deliberately breaking the last trace of my calmness.

"Stop...or I swear you will regret it! If you don't want to destroy the covenant with Persia, stop immediately!" I gritted my teeth, the corners of my eyes were bloodshot, "Humiliation of me is tantamount to humiliation of my mission and king, you are making an enemy of Persia !"

"An enemy of Persia?" A sneer sounded in his ear.

His waist was hugged tightly, and the flexible and vigorous body of a python was pressed against my back, trapping me firmly under him.The dampness under my body was like a swamp, and a mass of swollen and hot foreign matter squirmed against my tailbone, ready to invade my body at any time.With my heart hanging up to my throat, I was sweating profusely, twisting my waist and struggling, but he hugged me even tighter, bent my knees to push my legs apart, and rubbed my buttocks imitating intercourse.

His face was next to mine, rubbing his ears together: "Guess, will your king abandon Armenia because you lost your dignity to me?"

I was suddenly startled.

"Just imagine again, if the subject he entrusted with important tasks was impregnated by me like a woman, would your king regard you as a shame to the Persian Empire and let you stay in Rome?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

This guy is not only a pervert, but also a lunatic!But one thing he said is reasonable: I can't compare with the military talisman that can control Armenia. Even if he rapes me, His Majesty the King may not necessarily abandon his alliance with him.

This realization completely hit my nerve called fear.I looked out the window again, resisting the embarrassment that suffocated me, and let out a hoarse cry, but Yuriyans tightly covered my mouth.

"If you want to call for help, I hope you call my name." His lips pressed against my earlobe, panting heavily and messily.

I shivered, his lips and tongue flowed down my neck like lava, and ran across my spine.The body was hugged and sat on his crotch.The foreign body was completely stiff between my legs, and a clear and ferocious outline bulged out of his white silk clothing, like a poisonous snake about to break free from its restraint.

A dark cloud of fear exploded above my head, and I bit my tongue hard. The pain stimulated me to gather a little bit of strength, and I rolled and crawled off the table.

"Don't come here!" Picking up the sun light that fell on the ground, I leaned against the wall to support my body, pointed the tip of the blade at the figure on the table, and shook like leaves in the wind.Yuriyans stared at me with squinted eyes, half lying on the table without moving, his robe was half uncovered, a large group of looming black shadows appeared under his graceful and strong waist, showing a state of devouring people.

Can't imagine... what would happen if he actually raped me with that kind of thing.

"You monster..." I took a deep breath and pressed myself against the wall.

"Monster... yes, I am a monster!" The corners of his lips parted silently, staring at me: "Medusa gave me a strong body, and also gave me this curse. Struggling in love and desire. And you are my only salvation... Ah Suin. You are my destined lover, and I cannot escape."

As if under a curse, I shivered suddenly, my nerves seemed to be frozen, and I couldn't move. I watched his figure approaching and couldn't move.

Suddenly, there was a sound of glass cracking from behind.As soon as I turned my head, Ishkad rolled in from the window.There was some blood splattered on his face, his eyes were terrified, as if he had just experienced a fight.

Chapter 39 [IWL] The Death Sentence of Love

The room fell into an unbearable dead silence for a moment.Ishkad was obviously stunned by the scene at the moment, his eyes swept over Yuriyans, and then fell on me, his face was full of murderous rage.I was almost naked, Yulyans was disheveled, anyone could imagine what had happened to us.

Ishkad didn't say a word, just grabbed the sun light on the table with a gloomy expression, and walked towards Yuriyans beside me. At this moment, I had no doubt that he would kill him.

But Yuriyans' gaze still stayed on me, turning a blind eye to Ishkad's existence, and he didn't dodge or avoid it, allowing him to stab into the chest with a knife.

This action was fierce and neat to the extreme.

I froze in place in shock, as if my body was frozen.The body of the dagger was pulled out from Julyans' pale plaster-like chest, and there was no trace for a while, but after a while, a thread of blood burst and gurgled down.Ishkad did not kill, but this knife is enough to kill an ordinary person.

A small movement came from a certain corner, and when the light in the room dimmed, I saw dozens of ghostly figures appearing in the dark where the candlelight could not shine.And we can judge by the figure that it is definitely not our person.

Yuriyans stepped back unsteadily, and a tall figure who was neither human nor ghost suddenly emerged from the shadow behind him, helping him to sit down.He was holding a crossbow in his hand, and he was aiming at Ishkad. The small sharp sound of the opening of the mechanism hit my eardrums.

"Ishkad!"

With a low cry, I stumbled behind him, slipped and almost fell to the ground.Ishkad's strong hands supported me, and he quickly took off his coat to wrap around my body, instead of facing the enemy back to back with me as usual.This made me realize more clearly how embarrassed I am in front of him at the moment, and I can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get in.

"What a touching scene..."

A series of sullen chuckles suddenly jumped out of the smoky air.

I looked up with an ugly face, those strange eyes were as dark as an abyss, they were going to drag me into it, smashing my body to pieces.He clutched his chest, blood oozes between his fingers, his bloodless thin lips raised coldly, "Maxim, do you still want to do it?"

The ghost-faced man raised his crossbow, and I shouted in shock: "Wait! Yuriyans!"

He moved his fingers and stared at me, waiting for something with a half-smile.Blood stained his hands, reflecting the bloodthirsty light under the light of the fire, and even the mask was quenched into a dark red.

I gritted my teeth, glanced down at my leg, and stared at him suggestively: "We are still allies, aren't we? The military amulet is the proof..." I turned to grab Ishkad's arm. With a sliver of rationality in his anger, he grabbed the military talisman on the table, frowned, and carried me straight to the door without saying a word.

"That's only half of the military talisman, and the other half is in his hands." I lowered my voice unwillingly, and the shame lingered in my heart, making my breathing disordered.

He paused, then stepped up his pace again: "But what he wants, I won't promise to give."

I couldn't help being startled by these words, a feeling of warmth welled up in my heart, but I heard a burst of low-pitched laughter from behind me.That laughter was like an undercurrent and turbulent sea, like a wild will-o'-the-wisp, which made my heart skip a beat.

"No, my ally. I swear to you that I will get him. He is destined to belong to me, just like the sun, moon and stars. Fate weaves threads and cannot be separated."

Whispering and whispering into my brain like a series of curses, I couldn't help but look up at Yuriyans.

In the firelight, he was sitting half naked on a chair, clutching the gold-leaf inlaid panties in his hand, staring at me intently, lowering his head and sniffing: "It smells really good...it seems that I'm going to look at things and think about people again." , spent the long night alone."

I clenched my fists, pushed Ishkad away, and staggered out the door.

【xlii】

"Who is in such a panic!?" A sharp voice shouted.

Just after modeling the long corridor, a group of people came unexpectedly.I supported a stone pillar and was about to faint, but luckily Ishkad supported me.

By the light of the candles held by the two maids in front of the line, I could see clearly that the line was surrounded by a tall woman with gorgeous clothes.I hastily supported the pillar beside me to stand upright, straightened my clothes, and looked at the other party nervously.My head is spinning, and I can't help but pray that I don't pass out at this time.

I saw this woman wearing a white gauze skirt with green edges, her face was beautiful, her forehead inlaid with gold was shining brightly, and the earrings of peacock feathers fluttered in the wind under the elegant golden bun, as if A proud female finn, this dress symbolizes her extraordinary status in the Roman royal family.

It is really not a blessing to meet the noble Roman royal family with such a miserable appearance.

"Ah, we meet again, Feissel, our distinguished guest from afar. This is..."

I nodded hurriedly, but I didn't know how to address her, so I stood speechless.Fessel is Ishkard's pseudonym, "meet you again"—maybe that's why Ishkard didn't arrive in time.

"Your Majesty the Queen, your beauty shines like a bright moon in the night. Forgive me for not recognizing you for a while. Next to me is our Prince Arshak."

I was shocked, queen?Constantius' wife?I didn't see her at the banquet, why did she suddenly appear here?Resisting the bouts of dizziness, I took a deep breath, pouted my mouth angrily, and leaned over to salute her: "Your Majesty the Empress, I hope my obtuseness didn't offend you."

As soon as I opened my mouth, I was startled by my own hoarse voice.I felt my lips were swollen and very congested, as were my cheeks.I bowed my head in embarrassment, short of breath.I hope the night can hide my abnormality.

The queen walked up to me with slow steps, and with the crisp sound of jewels clashing, a strong smell of roses hit my face, and I had to raise my head to look at her.In the firelight, she looked at me with a strange look. I couldn't see the exact meaning, but that look was not kind.

"Your appearance really lives up to your reputation, young little prince." She smiled, a mole on the corner of her mouth was like a thorn on a rose stem, which could stab someone in a flash, and the corners of her eyes that had been quenched with iris juice seemed to be poisonous, " No wonder my husband fell in love with you at first sight, you are a rather rare beauty."

My neck stiffened because of this yin and yang praise, and then I realized that the mask had been taken off by Yuriyans, so I could only raise the corners of my mouth at a loss: "You... I am a man, how can I be a beauty, and even if I am beautiful , how can it compare to you?"

A string of wind chime-like laughter sounded suddenly: "If I could be like you, I would also be willing to become a man! In Rome, beautiful men are much more popular than beautiful women..." Her voice was so low that Ambiguous, the tone suddenly hooked, "However, why did you appear here with my emperor brother who is lazy and has a weird temperament?"

There was a strange light in the hooked eyes.

I suddenly understood something——the empress is obsessed with Yulyans, and her husband's brother, even though his appearance has been ruined.Seeing me coming out of that perverted palace, she probably misunderstood something.

"His Royal Highness just lost his way. He didn't know that this is the residence of His Majesty Yuriyans. Who said that this Roman palace is too grand and huge!"

Ishkad found an excuse to save me, and we were able to avoid the difficult queen and escape from this intricate maze.

Back at my lodging, I threw myself into bed, unable to think of anything more.

Yuriyans' voice lingered in the darkness like a string of incantations, attacking my brain.My whole body was on fire, I hugged my body tightly, closed my eyes and recited scriptures, and slowly fell asleep.

The heavenly sound of the harp entered my eardrums like gurgling water, and the gentle sea breeze opened my eyelids.I rubbed my sleepy eyes, and a familiar yet unfamiliar figure emerged from the golden sunlight.

"Athione..."

Flaviz looked down at me, his long eyelashes were stained with the light of the morning sun, and there was a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.His fingers fell from the strings to my cheeks, brushing the messy hair on my forehead.

Behind him is the statue of Aphrodite, and at this moment he seems to be her incarnation.

Bewildered by his charming smile, I raised my head and approached his face carefully, kissing him carefully, and a strong smell of wine rushed to my face.However, as soon as my body moved, I heard the sound of metal colliding.I was dazed for a moment, and raised my hand in confusion, only to find that my wrists were shackled in a pair of nightmarish shackles.

I screamed and stared at my god with wide eyes in disbelief.

A pair of pale hands tightly grasped my trembling wrist, and red lips were printed on the back of my hand, like a poisonous butterfly stinging into my skin, which made me tremble endlessly.

"Flavitz, Flavitz! Please!"

"Don't be afraid... I will never hurt you. My little Cupid." He pulled me into his arms, his thin and slender body wrapped around me like vines, and it would be good to form a twig with me, "I Just afraid of you leaving. Remember? I have advised you many times, don't try to climb over that wall, don't try to leave me again, otherwise I will have to lock you up... You forced me to do this. "

God knows I'd rather die than lose my freedom again.

The unbearable old memories of my childhood flooded my mind again, I struggled wildly in his arms, but Flaviz hugged me tighter and tighter, with the same strength as the end.

He bound my chains at the feet of Venus, as if to sentence me to death in the name of love.

Chapter 40 [XL] Puzzled

He bound my chains at the feet of Venus, as if to sentence me to death in the name of love.

His hand caressed my spine, he bent down, his blond hair fell down from his chest like quicksand, his lips kissed my stomach from my shoulders, and he whispered: "Do you know what I dreamed about last night, Athion? Remember those Greek scrolls you peeked at yesterday..."

I nodded.

"You read forbidden books that you shouldn't read, so I will punish you, just like the men in those pictures punish boys..." A soft voice whispered in the ear, the tone was intoxicated as if dreaming.Flaviz seemed to have had a lot of alcohol, he was drunk.I felt confused and flustered, and his slender hand gently grabbed my wrist, and I poked into his loose white robe.

Soon I touched a hot and hard object under his belly, which was throbbing vigorously in my palm.

"Touch it. It will make you hurt later, and it will make you happy."

Flaviz leaned over me and held me in his arms.The strong smell of alcohol poured down like his hair, his eyes were drunk and red, as if he had lost his usual elegance and became a completely different person.A strange man I don't know.His sweat dripped on my body like hot wax.

Recalling the unsightly intercourse scene with different postures on the scroll, I clenched my fists nervously, pushed him away forcefully, stepped back, shrank behind Cupid, and tightened my fists for many years. in the shadows.

I thought of the tragic scene of my mother being abused. Those images filled me with fear and disgust for this most primitive human activity. In my perception, it was nothing more than torture.

I swear to my mother that I will never be reduced to a human being, but will become a hero who stands up to heaven and earth.And Flaviz is going to inflict this kind of torture on me, and stamp me with his exclusive mark—save me from hell, and swear to protect the Son of God who cherishes me all my life.

"Don't come here! I hate you, Flaviz!"

Flaviz tried to grab me, and I drove him off, waving the chain.Fear made me forget that he was seriously ill and I didn't know how serious it was.Soon his persistent illness relapsed, and he half-kneeled on the ground and coughed.His clothes fell to the ground, and the thing between his crotch was pulled down softly, like a withered flower, half of his face was hidden in the shadow, his complexion was pale.I suddenly felt cruel, but fear overcame all other emotions.

I love Flaviz dearly, but I'm also growing more and more afraid of him.

"How ridiculous..." A string of chuckles overflowed from his mouth, ethereal like a ray of cold wind.He lowered his head, his blond hair covered his face, his shoulders shook violently, and he seemed to be laughing or crying.

"I'm not even...a complete man... Ah Suin, God of Love gave me the opportunity to love someone, but I don't even have the ability to have the person I love! Look at me...it's a big joke .”

"Flavitz..." I muttered his name, my chest constricted like water.

He raised his head, deeply drunk, his eyes were blood red, and his clear blue pupils glistened with water.

This look fell into my lungs like broken glass, and I couldn't even breathe, so that when he leaned over to press me down again, I lost the courage to struggle.

"I'm scared, are you... Ah Suin?" He brushed my temples with his slender and graceful fingers, buried his head on my neck and took a deep breath, with a strong nasal voice, "My body There is a deformity hidden in it, an out-and-out monster, you must have discovered it, so you want to run away from me."

I pursed my lips and shook my head, panicking, "No, no...Flavitz! You are definitely not...you are like my god, you saved me!"

"Then swear to the God of Love...you will always be with me." Flaviz rubbed hands with me, his voice was almost inaudible, but there was a curse-like magic that made me unable to move, for fear of making another mistake and making him Heartbreak.

"I won't leave you." I nodded hesitantly.

"Come into my arms, I just want to hug you."

Flaviz unshackled me, but the voice drew me closer to him like an invisible rope.He embraced my body, lowered his head and kissed my neck, but his lips slid down, and the thin and dense kisses covered the body, reaching the abdomen.

"Ah Thien, I love you..."

The corners of the eyes were moist, with a salty taste.

I lifted my neck and tensed my body in forbearance. Amidst the sinful sweetness, my eyes fell into darkness.

……

"Ah Thien! Wake up!"

The familiar deep voice was like thunder, which made me wake up suddenly.

My jaw was pinched so hard that it almost dislocated. The pain forced me to barely open my sticky eyelids, and I vaguely met a pair of black eyes.

"Did you dream of... what?"

The blanket on my body was lifted, and a smear of blood flashed in my sight.I blinked and stood up.Ishkad stared at me with a frown, clutching the blanket over my half-naked body.The thing between my crotch was standing high, a mess.

And my hands are between my legs——I am masturbating myself in my dream.

"Go away! Don't look at me like that!"

My brain buzzed, and I roared angrily. I pulled the blanket and jumped off the bed, trying to escape, but Ishkad blocked my way with his body.He twisted my arms tightly, pressed my knees against the sockets of my legs, and forced me to half-kneel in the corner of the wall.I resisted instinctively, but I saw Ishkad free a hand and draw the sun, moon, and star totem of God Ahura with blood on the wall in front of me.

This act was like putting a holding spell on me-I knew Ishkad was accusing me of committing lust.

I dreamed of Flaviz again, stuck in haunting memories of him.I closed my eyes, pressed my forehead against the wall, took a deep breath, and exposed my back to Ishkad: "Punish me, drive away my demons, Ishkad, just like you did before. "

Without any hesitation, Ishkad picked up a pot of water and poured it on my head.

The water trickled down my hair, and I rested my palms on the wall and chanted scriptures silently.The rustling sound of feathers rubbing against each other rang out behind his ears, and several burning pains hit his back, and water trickled down his spine.

The pain is even worse, but at the same time it makes people clear and calm, and the sense of guilt and shame has faded a lot.

After my breathing calmed down, I heard Ishkad's extraordinarily heavy panting, and before I could turn around, I was held down by his hand on the back of my head and pressed my head against the wall.His palm was very hot, and the temperature in the palm was as hot as the heart of a flame, which made people tremble.I was breathing hard: "Ishkad?"

"I'm not a monk, nor a saint, Ah Suin." His breath seemed to be scattered on the back of my neck, as if trying to keep a distance, which made me vaguely aware of a kind of danger that could be ignited.

"You know...your appearance, how..."

Goosebumps popped up all over my back, I hurriedly put on a blanket, broke free from his shackles, and stepped back a distance.Ishkad was only wearing a thin inner robe, which could not hide anything.Just a casual glance, I found that his crotch was indeed in an embarrassing state.

"We should keep our distance." He picked up the coat on the bed and buttoned it, his eyes dark.

I didn't know where to put my eyes, so I just stared at the dancing candlelight and nodded.

"Don't be like you used to be at home, or I don't know what I will do to you on the spur of the moment."

"Yes." I nodded again, the flames hurt my eyes.

"Don't undress in front of me."

I walked quickly to the box next to the bed where the clothes were placed, but was stunned when I saw the barely-covering silk robe inside.Why, am I going to dress up in this disgusting appearance in the Roman palace in the future?

The scene of last night rushed to my head, I was restless, I kicked the box open, I just felt itchy in my muscles and bones, I wanted to climb up the roof and run wildly, or have a good fight, so as to release the depression in my heart.

"Flavitz..."

I was shocked.

"Who does this name belong to, Ah Suin?" Ishkad's tone was like a dark cloud brewing a thunderstorm.He walked straight towards me, not shying away from his physical abnormalities at all, and staring at me with a forceful arrogance like a executioner standing in front of a death row prisoner, who must ask why before execution.

"It's like a devil's curse, an evil brand, that torments you, bewitches you, and turns you back into the miserable, wretched way you were when you first came to Cetsyphon! Do you remember what you were like then? He kept silent all night long, knelt in front of the god statue and talked freely, even tried to commit suicide, calling this name every day in his sleep, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing, and sometimes it seemed that he was having sex with a phantom! After the Holy Fire Ceremony, you finally made up your mind to get rid of your inner demons, as if you were reborn, but now you are making the same mistakes again, what happened? What is the connection between Flaviz and Yuriyans? Since he appeared, you have..."

"Enough! I admit that I was bewitched by that villain... What happened to you and the others last night? How about Tatu and the others?" When I mentioned what happened last night, my cheeks seemed to be splashed with boiling water , torn apart.

Chapter 41 [XLI] A Prophecy

"Enough! I admit that I was bewitched by that villain... What happened to you and the others last night? How about Tatu and the others?" When I mentioned what happened last night, my cheeks seemed to be splashed with boiling water , torn apart.

"We were blocked." Ishkad's voice sank, "Tatu and the others were ambushing in the arena of the palace, and had a conflict with a group of guys of unknown origin, and I met the queen near the palace, and she invited me to accompany her. She admired the scenery. I think all of this was arranged by Yulyans. I didn't expect him to spend a lot of time setting traps..."

He paused for a moment, struggling to speak like a stick in his throat: "To get you."

My heart jumped wildly, and I shook my head subconsciously: "I only had a short encounter with that guy, and he has no reason to make a small mistake. Maybe he didn't want to hand over the military talisman at all, so he made a stumbling block."

When I said this, I couldn't help but feel guilty for a while, as if I wasn't even sure about myself.

"But he looks at you, as if he wants to swallow you whole. If I don't arrive, I don't know what will happen. Ah Suin, I'm very worried." Ishkad pressed my shoulder, fingers Close tightly.

His tone made me feel very uncomfortable, and reminded me of the bad days when I was first brought back to Persia by my adoptive father.

Uncomfortably avoiding his gaze, I walked to the side, found a suitable piece of clothing in the closet and put it on.A bronze mirror on the cabinet door reflected my face.My complexion is not very good, but fortunately, my eyebrows and eyes are still sharp and sharp.In the past seven years, I haven't changed much except for my stature becoming taller, but my eyes are already completely different.

Then I was the lake of lamentation, now I am hard ice.

Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, how can I experience a severe winter?

I looked at myself in the mirror and vaguely remembered the scene back then.

At that time, I was so weak that I was a newcomer and was often bullied by my older brothers in the family.While my adoptive father was away, they sometimes teased me as a girl, stripped me naked, and forced me to dress up as a dancer.If Ishkad hadn't defended me, I might have been gang raped by them.I didn't want my mother's worrying prediction to come true, so I worked harder than anyone else in the training ground, just for the underdog.

Having been in the army for several years, I thought I was strong enough, but I didn't expect to need Ishkad's help.

This is even more insulting to my self-esteem than being captured by the Huns when I was defeated in the battle of Guishuang 1.

The blood in my chest was churning, I closed my eyelids, and took a deep breath.When I reached out to button the buttons, it felt as if they were being unbuttoned one by one by that person's hand.I shivered involuntarily, and hurriedly grasped the skirt of my clothes, and suddenly remembered a certain sentence I heard Yuliyans say in a trance, and my whole body became stiff.

"What are you thinking? You look so ugly?"

Ishkard closed the cupboard door, smoothed my sideburns, and brushed my too-long hair behind my shoulders.

"You said..." I opened my eyes and asked in a low voice, "Will His Majesty dedicate me to Yuriyans on purpose, and the assassination of Constantius is only a ostensible mission. ...?"

"Impossible!" The hand on my forehead trembled violently.

"Impossible." After a moment of silence, Ishkad solemnly spit out a few words.He stared at my face solemnly, but there was a hint of panic in his pupils.I guess the answer is that even he can't be sure.There is no such task in the secret letter, but it is true that if Yulyans wants me, His Majesty the King may allow it.

"What are you thinking about, Ah Suin? You don't know that His Majesty values ​​you so much. How many soldiers in the whole country can be awarded by him? Dedicate such an outstanding courtier as you to an enemy royal family?"

"Yes," I smiled wryly, lowering my eyelashes, "but I rejected His Majesty's offer. I clearly remember the disappointment in his eyes when I knelt before his throne and asked him to allow me to return to the Legion. "

"But you didn't make him regret his promise and promotion, did you? How much credit have you made for the Legion? Have you forgotten, Ah Suin?"

"But the last time I was defeated, I became a prisoner of the Roman legions."

"No, that's not the last time. This time is it." Ishkad hesitantly held my shoulders, and suddenly hugged me, took a deep breath of my body odor, I stood awkwardly, listening to him sigh He took a deep breath, "I never told you that when I went to Rome, my father had intended to retire. After this mission is completed, I have to retire and go back to inherit my father's position. Are you willing to help me and join me in politics? huh, my brother?"

There was still a faint smell of blood on his body.Julyans' bloody chest suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. For some reason, I felt suffocated and quickly pushed Ishkad away: "I'm not good at dealing with people. You know, in the past, when I attended banquets, I always gave my family Disgraceful. Ishkad, you will be an excellent prime minister, and I, it is better to stay in the legion. Maybe I can be the head of the regiment after completing this task."

I forced a smile: "Leading the ghost army is something I have always longed for."

Ishkad lowered his head, his eyes fixed on my face.We are close to each other, but it seems to be very far apart. There is an insurmountable gap between us, and the memory that I cherish deep in my heart is sleeping in it.

I went to the window and pushed open the closed window to catch my breath.The hazy gauze curtains fluttered, and I looked into the night sky, but noticed a long and tall figure in the brightly lit windows of the opposite palace.

The shadow leaned against the window sill of the opposite palace, and the white hem fell into the air, fluttering with the wind, as if dancing in the night.His posture was vaguely like holding a harp in his arms, with his arms flicking lightly. Although I couldn't hear any sound, it resonated deep in my eardrum.

The piece that Flaviz had played instantly came to my mind and made me lose my mind for a moment.

Who lives on the opposite side of the window?

I half-closed my eyes to concentrate my gaze, confused by his deja vu demeanor, and stared at him in a daze for a while, until the man stopped and a ray of fire lit up from my hands, I hurriedly closed the window up.

With just such a simple action, I felt as if I had experienced a battle, my breath was short of breath, my back was covered with sweat, and I was so lost that I was shocked when Ishkad walked up to me.

"Pa", a pair of hands crossed my shoulders and pushed the window open again.

"Ah Thien, let me tell you something."

"what?"

Ishkad cupped the back of my neck, as if to whisper in my ear, but said nothing.I was just wondering when I saw him glance into the distance, then suddenly lowered his head.I was so dazed that I forgot to dodge, and felt a heat on my lips, which really shocked me, and my shoulders were clasped for a moment, so I couldn't move.

Suddenly there was a muffled "bang" not far away.

I broke away from Ishkad and followed the reputation.The figure on the opposite side disappeared, and something hung on the treetops under the opposite palace—it was a harp, which was thrown to pieces.

My eyes were instantly attracted to it as if by a magnet, and my eyes suddenly became blurred.

"Go, seek the freedom you yearn for, fly out of this cage, and never come back!"

The destroyed harp with its once pure and beautiful bow bowed like a critically ill old man screaming under Flaviz's feet, and the broken strings seemed to be entangled with his hoarse laughter.

"Athione...Athione!"

"what!"

I yelled and covered my ears tremblingly.The body was immediately turned around by strong hands.

"I will send a letter requesting His Majesty the King to allow you to suspend this task. Your mental state is too bad." Ishkad took me into his arms, and the temperature of my chest made me feel like I was on the verge of breaking the ice. .I took a deep breath, clenched my fist and slapped him on the shoulder to show that I was fine.

"Are you joking, Commander?"

A sneer suddenly sounded from the darkness.Tatu!

I took a step back, and saw a figure scurrying into the room from above the window like a nimble mongoose.

Tatu leaned against a pillar and looked at us with a teasing face: "This is the most ridiculous decision I've ever heard you make. If he quits, who do we find to replace him? The one who is so weak Is it real like a baby canary? We're riding a tiger..."

Altaïr landed with a whoosh, lying on the window sill shaking his feathers, obviously they
