swear to love heaven

Thousands of stone steps descend from the sky towards a long ladder. In the golden sunlight of winter, a dazzling icy blue light flows, connecting the unreachable sky with the solid earth. The clear blue sky is at the end of the wide stone steps. Looking down at the living beings under the feet, it seems that above these blue stone stairs is another completely different world...

The kingdom of heaven, the world where the gods live high.

The muffled sound of the wind circling around was like continuous trumpets blowing the awe-inspiring mood, and the flags fluttering in the wind stretched the rest of the body, and the flags depicted exquisite and solemn emblems of various colors.The supremacy of kingship is conveyed arrogantly in the gale through these soft flags, like the silent waves of the ebb and flow, churning and raising awe in people's eyes.

Entering the huge stone gate of the palace square, the guards in front of them are obviously different from ordinary Hittite warriors. They are wearing silver armor, and the weapons in their hands have changed from spears to daggers.The face under the helmet is young and proud. These royal guards are the best Hittite army. They have been carefully selected and selected by the House of Lords to protect the capital Hattusa and the Hittite king.

The neat team with their heads upright, shining with sharp silver armor, and the bright and endless warm light of winter interweave a meandering picture of ice and fire colliding. The silver armored guards walk along the stone ladder all the way to the top of the sky.

An eye-popping scene with an impressive atmosphere.

Lemomena stood in front of the first step, silent in thought, and did not move for a long time.

Time seemed to pass very slowly in her silence, so slow that everyone began to have difficulty breathing. The pressure in their throats was not the suffocation caused by the poorly flowing air, but the unmoving blackness in everyone's eyes. The figure... formless, heavy, oppressive, a gloomy condensate spread from the corners of her robe fluttering in the wind, infecting the surrounding atmosphere and becoming more and more gloomy and dead.

Standing behind her, Khaleesi stared intently at this familiar figure that made her heart ache.

She can feel how much grief this strong figure has endured; she can feel how much pressure this hard figure has endured; she can also feel how much pain this firm figure has endured. Feel... her, feel everything about her, from heart to body, even if it's just from a back view.

After a while, a ray of sunlight pierced through the breeze and landed at Lemomena's feet, and the vibrant and dazzling colors were imprinted on the bottom of his brown eyes.Very slowly, she raised her head, her gaze was like fire, and she licked the blue-gray stone ladder wantonly, her gaze was cold.

Lifting his leg, when his right foot stepped onto the first step, the royal guards standing on both sides drew their swords at the same time, the sword pointed to the ground, knelt down on one knee, and nodded.

As the first step fell behind him, Lemomena climbed up the steps step by step, his steps were steady, the corners of his black robe brushed against the stone surface, and the flowing black shadow swept the sunlight across the cold stone surface, a shadow that was difficult to catch , with her slightly heavy footsteps continuously spreading upwards.

Every time you go up one floor, the guards on both sides will draw their swords out of their sheaths and kneel down to salute.

Suddenly, the footsteps stagnate.Looking back, the light brown light flashed brightly, he stretched out his hand, the corners of his lips raised a touch of tenderness, and the voice of the wind came.

"... Khaleesi."

I can't explain why the rhythm of the beating heart is so chaotic at this moment. The momentary blankness in Kalixi's mind, even where the eyes can see, is a blank white,

Touched, dazed, scared, and also deeply affectionate and dependent.

After being stunned suddenly, she raised a bright smile as bright as the sun, gently pulled the hem of the skirt, and walked slowly, stepping on the wide steps in front of her.

When the fingertips touched the palm of Lemomena's hand that had been raised in mid-air, the soft blue eyes collided with the steady brown eyes, and the expressions of the two smiling at each other revealed the exact same love, bursting out like lightning and flint. The lingering love that can't be solved...

Walking up side by side, accepting the solemn baptism of the sun calmly, ignoring the staring eyes of everyone behind them, they walked towards the majestic palace at the end of the stone staircase together with the golden breeze swirling under their feet.

★★★★★★★★★

Standing beside the waist-high stone railing, overlooking the huge buildings built against the mountain, Kalixi was deeply conquered by the huge and magical power of the Hittite people for the few times today.

This Hittite palace is located on the high mountain in the east of Hattusa. It is built along the steep mountain. a cliff.If you hadn't been in it, you would never have imagined that there is such a majestic palace in this world.

Riding mountains and clouds, the green sea is vast... Looking around, it is like being in the boundless sea of ​​clouds. The misty white clouds fly over the top of the mountain leisurely, and the mountain wind comes and pulls the cloud curtain, tearing a hole, and you can vaguely see a piece of green dotted among the clouds. gap.

At this time, you will suddenly realize that you are not in heaven, but in a real Yunding mountain city.

Such a magnificent and winding spectacle can take away all the admiration in your heart in an instant, and make you feel the insignificance of human beings all the time... The perfect fusion and unity of natural magnificence and man-made uncanny craftsmanship has created such a magnificent building. A magnificent, charming and domineering palace.

Wandering lingeringly on the winding stone corridor, the mountain wind that walked through the corridor was stained with the chill of early winter, and the neckline of the cloak was tightened. Khalixi was still reluctant to stop, she really didn't want to lose the beautiful scenery in front of her.Such a beautiful scenery, even if the cold wind is coming, it can't prevent her from being shocked by the scenery that can't be described by pen and ink.

"Princess, go into the house. The wind is too strong here. If it continues to blow, you will definitely get sick tomorrow." Titi anxiously reminded, thinking whether to change Khaleesi into a thicker cloak.

"Titi, have you ever seen such a scene? Look at that mountain, it seems to be connected to the sky, and the mountains over there can't be seen at a glance." As if she didn't hear Titi's words, Kalixi stretched out Pointing at the distant mountains outside the corridor, the sun-shrouded face is full of admiration. What is so beautiful is not only the vast mountains and seas, but also the smiling faces in the corridor filled with admiration.

Looking along her guidance, the sea of ​​clouds is lingering, and the foothills are stretching. "Princess, these mountains won't run away, let's come back tomorrow. You've been in the wind for an hourglass hour, go back quickly."

As soon as the footsteps stopped, the corners of the skirt rippled, and a thin layer of light slid down the bluestone ground along the edge of the white cloak, half of which was colorful and floating silently. "Has it been so long? Lemomena hasn't come back yet?"

"The Prince Regent has not returned yet."

The beautiful scenery in the eyes darkened leisurely, it seemed that the scenery had lost its brilliance.Looking away, looking towards the patchwork of palace roofs outside the railing, a trace of depression rose from the bottom of my heart.

"With such a strong wind, why are you standing here in a daze?" A clear voice, full of concern and reproach, came from afar.

Surprised, when he turned around, the sorrow covering his face disappeared, and a layer of joy appeared in his blue eyes. "You're back!"

With a wave of Lemomena's hand, the guards behind him stopped, bowed and saluted, and then turned around and exited the corridor in a row.

As he walked, he untied his cloak, and came to Kalixi to put it on her. The maid immediately came forward with another cloak, and Lemomena gently pushed it away.He frowned, and asked in an unhappy tone: "It's so cold, why don't you prepare a thick cloak for the princess?"

The regent's displeasure would always bring invisible and sharp pressure to the people around him. All the maids knelt down in unison, and no one dared to speak out.For a moment, Titi spoke in fear. "It's the servant's carelessness, please forgive me by the regent."

With annoyance, he secretly pushed Lemomena, his bright blue eyes swept over Titi who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly, "Titi, get up, you also get up."

"I haven't seen anyone for a long time, and you lose your temper as soon as you come back. You are really powerful as the regent." Pulling the cloak, Lemomena walked forward, walking slowly.

Hearing her footsteps following her, Kalixi turned her face away angrily, her eyes fell on the green sea and white clouds, but her mood drifted uncontrollably to the people beside her.

Without speaking, she walked quietly beside Kalixi, holding her hand hanging by her skirt, the soft feeling of early winter's coolness in the palm, accompanied by some weak struggles, ignoring the hidden meaning of liberation in this struggle , Lemomena raised his chin slightly, glanced lightly at Kalixi's suddenly blushing side face, and continued to remain silent, with his slender five fingers tightly wrapped around the slender fingers, and a cloud curling and relaxing arc quietly raised on his lips .

Unable to break free from the strong entanglement and restraint of vines between his fingers, he could only save some strength for himself, and his eyes were still fixed on the mountain scenery outside the corridor, with a lukewarm appearance.

"That mountain is called Moshi Mountain. I heard from my father that when our ancestors chose the site for the imperial palace, they originally chose Moshi Mountain. Later..." After this sentence, he looked over Kalisi's head The vast mountain falling in the distance has a calm expression.

Curiosity always comes at the wrong time. She bit her lip and held back for a while, but she couldn't help but speak, her voice full of disappointing curiosity. "Why not choose it?"

The long and narrow eyes were narrowed and bent into a crescent moon, revealing a good mood. "Because, at that time, it rained heavily all night, and a mudslide occurred on the mountain, which destroyed a small temple at the foot of the mountain. The priests thought it was destiny, and the gods did not agree to choose Moshi Mountain to build the palace. So, it was changed to the one next to it. this mountain."

Nodding his head, he looked at Moshi Mountain, where the shadow of the mountain was empty, and the majestic Hittite palace was almost built on that mountain. A heavy rain from the sky changed the fate of a mountain... Just like life, no one can I don't know what will happen tomorrow, maybe because of a small accident, there will be earth-shaking changes.

Just like them, one encounter, a lifetime bond.

"Wear warm clothes. You can walk around as long as you want. I have replaced all the guards in Hattusha City and the palace with my own people. It is very safe here. However, if you want to go out of the palace, you still need to bring a few guards with you." Just in case, you know?" Whispering softly, the whistling and rushing mountain wind suddenly turned into a gentle and melancholy.

"Well, I got it." The faint sweetness seeped out of his breath, spreading everywhere the blood could reach, not missing a single corner. "Are you still going to the Hall of Stones?"

"It's about to pass. The nobles and magistrates from the west are here. They want to see you. The army that came back from Kadeishi City needs to be reorganized and deployed. Those old guys in the House of Lords have been arguing for a whole afternoon just because of this matter. Don't Seeing that they are so old that they can't even walk steadily, they are really angry when they quarrel. When it comes to how many troops should be allocated to a city, they start to fight among themselves. The old waste of gains and losses." Frowning, a burst of anger that could not be blown away by the swift and violent mountain winds filled the surroundings, and the passing maid stopped by the wall, bowed and saluted without daring to lift her head.

Glancing at the trembling maids, Kalixi let out a long sigh, raised her brows lightly, and her gentle whispering tone concealed a playful provocation.

"You are the majestic regent sitting in the hall, do they still dare to make a noise in front of you? You won't scare them and make them shut up and obey! Take out a little bit of your majesty to scare the maids, those old men probably I'm afraid of dying."

"Kalixi, you..." She frowned and sighed, mixed with helpless doting that she couldn't control. "I really want to pull some old bones out and tear them down as a warning to others. But now is not the time to do it. Hittite is still in a turbulent transition between the old and the new regime. My return to Hattusa has made many people frightened. They I am worried that I have worked for La Balsa, and I will be against them. If I take action now, there is no guarantee that the Hittites will not fall into the crisis of a coup again."

"I asked you to scare them, but I didn't ask you to kill them." The delicate face was sullen, and the transparent and beautiful blush occupied the fair face.Khaleesi wondered sometimes why killing a human being was as easy to Lemomena as hunting an animal.

Human life is not a straw, how can it be taken away with a wave of the hand so lightly.

Smiling contemptuously, the tea color in his eyes was stained with the unpredictable whiteness of the clouds and mist outside the corridor, it was so cold that people shuddered. "Intimidation! Well, they are the least afraid of this. Which of these old foxes did not rely on conspiracy, killing and intimidation to sit in the House of Lords. If you want to subdue them, intimidation is absolutely useless."

"Then what method will work?" Frowning, a faint sense of uneasiness and fear arose in his heart.
