swear to love heaven

As we all know, across the sea from the Hittite Empire is the Aegean Sea Federation, which is known for its powerful navy.

The Aegean Sea, as an important sea area, connects two magical continents... one is where brave and warlike plateau nations live, and the other is inhabited by sea overlords with huge navies.

Thirty-five small city-states united to form the famous Aegean Federation, and in this federation, the city-state with the strongest army and the most warships was the city-state of Mycenae.

The relationship between Hittite and Mycenae has always maintained a delicate and peculiar balance. Merchant ships traveling between the Aegean Sea can dock in the two countries to carry out transactions, and people from the two countries can also freely enter and leave the territory of other countries.

However, the two countries have never sent envoys to visit each other, let alone the exchange of letters between several generations of monarchs, which is simply pitiful.

Therefore, it is conceivable that when the envoys sent by Mycenae arrived in this plateau heaven in mighty way, not only the Hittite people found it strange, but also the civil and military generals of the Manchu Dynasty also found it inconceivable.

Muhali led the ministers to welcome the travel-stained Mycenaean envoys on the edge of Hattusha City. A few official greetings and Muhari's experienced speech were polite but indifferent.Arranging the envoys of more than a hundred people, he led the leader of the envoys, the prime minister of Mycenae...Eyes, into the palace to meet Lemomenna.

The atmosphere of the meeting was quite warm, ignoring Elis' anxious eyes that panicked when his eyes fell on the Iron Throne, and his overly cautious speech, the meeting in an hourglass was full of inexplicable and strange atmosphere.

The cloud curling and soothing arc around Lemomena's lips was raised up from beginning to end to make people feel a little trembling. He was obviously smiling, but his eyes without the slightest warmth shone with sharp and sharp eyes. Even when he was in Lys, the great prime minister of Mycenae felt at a loss.

Finally, the young woman sitting on the Iron Throne got up with a gentle smile and announced that a banquet would be held in the main hall to entertain the envoys. When everyone saluted in unison, she walked leisurely away from the sunny Holy Light Hall.

Strolling in the courtyard, the cold moonlight flows down from the rockery, like a silvery waterfall, sliding silently into the pond, the delicate light ripples piecemeal on the dark green pool surface, embellished with the coolness of autumn The evening wind, the sound of gurgling water, is like the sound of nature played by the mountain wind.

Looking sideways, under the clear moonlight, she looked at Lemomena, who was silent all the way beside her, and Kalixi thought about how to speak.

Tonight's banquet was quite lively, not to mention the delicious food and wine. The Hittites warmly entertained the Mycenaean envoys who had crossed the sea. cup.

Facing the envoys who took turns toasting, Lemomena almost refused everyone, glass after glass, and drank three jars of spirits without changing his expression.

Now, I suddenly became curious about her drinking capacity, as if I had never seen her really drunk.

Looking down at the hands that were holding each other, Lemomena frowned slightly with a hot and dry palm that did not belong to the autumn night.

Lemomena raised his hand and stroked his forehead. He seemed to have drunk too much tonight. The mountain breeze mixed with the faint fragrance of flowers washed away the hot and unbearable smell of alcohol in his chest, but his eyes were irritated by the clear moonlight above his head. .

"Have a headache?" With concern in her eyes, Khaleesi deliberately slowed down her pace.

"A little bit." The moment he turned his eyes to the side, he smiled and said softly: "It's okay, just blow it and it will be fine."

Sigh, Kalixi can only express her helplessness for this kind of entertainment. As the regent of the Hittites, Lemomenna has an inescapable responsibility. "It will hurt even more when I wake up tomorrow morning. I have already asked Titi to make the medicinal soup for hangover. Go back and have a drink. You will feel better tomorrow." Knowing that Lemomena will be drunk a lot tonight.

Raising his eyebrows, a rascal smile hangs on his lips, showing a sense of gratitude, he gently pulls Kalixi into his arms, and kisses her on the face. "It's still my little princess who loves me."

She was shy for a while, because there was a group of maids behind her, not to mention the guards standing by the corridor, their twinkling eyes concealed obvious smiles, which made Khaleesi feel a little embarrassed.

He wanted to push her away, but the arm around his waist didn't move at all. He glared at her coquettishly, held back for a long time, and said sullenly, "Drunkard!"

He laughed nonchalantly, so softly that everyone around could hear him.Covered with a layer of brilliant silver, the brown pupils bloomed with bright happiness, so bright that the surrounding moonlit night and autumn colors seemed to be eclipsed, instantly.

Ignoring her rogue appearance from time to time, the two of them strolled side by side on the autumn path, and asked casually for a while, "What do you think is the real purpose of the king of Mycenae sending envoys?"

With a calm and steady smile, following the evening wind, he climbed up the brown eyes that were dyed dark black by the night. "Isn't Elis saying that the King of Mycenae congratulated Hittite for surviving the plague. Since Hittite reopened the border, trade in the Aegean Sea has been smooth again, and merchant ships entering Mycenae have brought a lot of business opportunities. The king of Mycenae believes that the long-term stability of the border between the two countries is conducive to the universal prosperity of the country, so he specially sent Elis to pay his respects, and hoped that the two countries will maintain long-term peace and communication, and sign an agreement on the separate governance of the Aegean Sea .”

"Do you believe?"

"I don't believe it." With a determined voice without the slightest hesitation, he raised his eyebrows, and his gaze towards the courtyard was calm and indifferent, with some unpredictable brilliance flowing faintly.

Frowning slightly, he said, "The king of Mycenae wants to divide the Aegean Sea into two, and Hittite and Mycenae manage their own sea areas separately. Isn't this his original intention?"

"What do you think?" The soft petite body in his arms exuded the fragrance of midnight orchids, lightly and delicately infiltrated into his breath, quietly entangled and occupied his heart. "You're so smart, can't you guess what he's thinking?"

"I haven't even met him before, so how can I guess what a stranger is thinking?" Speaking of the Mycenae king, Kalixi was indeed a little curious.It is said that he is probably in his thirties and has only been on the throne for three years.

"Unfamiliar... Didn't you hear what Elis said? You and the King of Mycenae are related by blood. You should be regarded as distant relatives..." Tapping his forehead with his fingertips, he recalled with a smile in his eyes: "Don brother and sister."

"My mother married to Syria, lived alone in a strange country, and died alone. On the day she married her relatives, Mycenaeans gave up on her. How could I have these things for no reason? My relatives." The sour voice, the rare indifference, appeared on the delicate but desolate face, the condensed beauty that the mountains and moons cannot match.

"Kalixi." She called her name very softly, and the arms around her waist were tightened quietly, no one saw her.

There was a tightening force on the waist, which seemed to be caring and pampering, and the heart softened unconsciously, and so did the voice. "Since ancient times, there have been a few princesses and relatives who have died well. Sacrificing a woman's happiness to benefit the interests of two countries is all due to relatives' indifference and desire for power... If you figure it out, you won't feel sad anymore."

The light in the bottom of the brown eyes gradually condensed and sank, like an ocean shrouded in night light, dangerous and mysterious. "Didn't you almost become a victim of this royal power?"

"That's why I chose to escape from marriage. I didn't expect..."

"I didn't expect it to fall into my hands. I still haven't escaped the life of power and politics, have I?"

"Of course...not." With sideways glances and a sudden smile, the bright beauty caught people's minds. "I just want to say, I didn't expect to meet you and changed my life."

She suddenly realized that she raised her eyebrows lightly, so as to cover up her shyness and embarrassment like a young girl in love, a sense of embarrassment that she had never felt before.Right now, Lemomena could only be thankful that the thick night had hidden her inexplicably flushed cheeks.

Lemomena's fleeting embarrassment failed to escape Kalixi's gaze. His blue eyes were filled with bright moonlight, and they glistened with honey-like sweetness, quietly and affectionately watching the people beside him. ...

In the morning, Elis brought the agreement into the palace, and accepted the Mycenaean agreement to Lemomenna. The young regent glanced at the sheepskin scroll with a smile and asked him to wait in the outer hall. Then the upper and lower houses of parliament were convened to start discussions.

Elis sat in the luxurious and deserted outer hall, waiting for the results of the study with a little trepidation in his heart.

If the agreement can be signed smoothly, half of the Aegean Sea can legitimately belong to Mycenae, which will save a lot of trouble, especially when pirates suddenly became rampant recently.

"Lord Elis."

A clean voice came to his ears, and Elis was quick-witted, and immediately got up and bowed. "Your Highness, the villain didn't know you were here, please forgive me, Your Highness."

Raising his hand and waving lightly, he smiled nonchalantly, motioning him to sit down, while he sat on the wide rattan chair, his blue eyes glinting at the bright sunlight outside the hall, flickering calmly.

"You don't need to be too polite, why is your lord here alone?" Looking around, except for a few maids who were waiting on the side, there was no official accompanying him.

"The villain entered the palace to meet the king regent, and signed the Aegean Sea sharing agreement. The king regent was discussing with the ministers of the two chambers in the Giant Stone Hall, and the villain was waiting for the summons from the king regent here."

Nodding in understanding, the maid carefully put down the teacup and quietly stepped aside, then she continued: "Let the prime minister wait here alone, neglecting to treat you politely, and please don't be offended by Mr. Elis."

He hurriedly shook his head, glanced at the delicious food and wine on the table beside him, with a look of sincerity and fear, nodded respectfully, and said: "Your Highness, please don't say that, I dare not be a villain. Since arriving in Hattusha, I have been deeply loved by the regent The villain is not very grateful for the hospitality. It is the villain's honor to wait here to be summoned by the Regent."

He is worthy of being the great prime minister highly regarded by the King of Mycenae. He really has the humility and prudence of a country's prime minister, and his words and deeds are respectful and polite in every aspect.

With a smile, he picked up the golden cup, the attractive tea fragrance hovered around the smooth cup, and the light white smoke was reflected in circles of amber ripples, like wind and fog.

Uncontrollably staring at Kalisi obsessively, Elis, who has seen countless people, has to admit that even after seeing countless beauties from all over the world, he can't take his nostalgic gaze away from this little princess... With clear blue eyes that stretch as far as the eye can see, exquisite facial features that are impeccable, long wavy hair that is so charming that it lingers in the dark night, coupled with that pure and flawless elegance, she is truly a rare beauty in the world.

The charm of her gestures is somewhat similar to that of her mother who married far away in Syria.It's just that Khaleesi's fate is obviously more... what is more important than her mother's?

For a while, Elis suddenly couldn't find a suitable word to express his thoughts accurately, it seemed to be more bumpy, more unpredictable, more wonderful, and more... lucky.

If, by the side of the Hittite regent; if, the two women fall in love; if, if it can last forever... then she is indeed lucky.

"Princess, please forgive me for being rude, you and your mother are very similar."

Slightly startled, he put down his glass and asked curiously, "Your Excellency, have you seen my mother?"

"Yes, I have met your mother. At that time, I was not the prime minister, but just a petty official. Once I went to the palace for a banquet, and I was honored to meet your mother—Princess Reisma." Elyi Si remembered that when Reisma was about 13 years old, she and her father, who was a prince, entered the palace to attend a banquet. Unexpectedly, a year later, she was sent to Syria thousands of miles away by her relatives.

The brows trembled slightly, and every day I would miss the poor mother who passed away early in my heart. I missed her endlessly, and when her name was mentioned, sad memories rushed back all at once.

Khaleesi's complexion changed, from bright to dark, in just an instant.Realizing that he had made a slip of the tongue, Elis immediately got up, bent down, and spoke with great apology. "It's the villain's slip of the tongue that made the princess sad, please punish the princess."

Her eyes flickered, and she packed up with sadness and longing. She smiled and motioned him to sit down, and a sigh melted into the wind blowing in by the window. "My lord is right, please sit down."

Sitting upright and maintaining the usual caution, Elis picked up the cup, took a sip of the half-cold tea, and remained silent.

"When my mother was alive, she often told me about living in Mycenae. My mother's father was a prince, and the family lived in the west of the capital city, very close to the palace. The old king of Mycenae liked to hold banquets, and my mother because of She was young and only attended a few palace banquets. She said that what impressed her the most was the sound of the waves outside the Mycenae palace. The palace was built on a steep cliff by the sea, and the rough waves of the Aegean Sea beat against the cliff. The mighty sound of the stormy sea is more startling than the sound of the drums."

When my mother was seriously ill, she always liked to tell the scenes of life in Mycenae over and over again, those magnificent palaces, those winding streets, those strange and surprising banquets, those sounding waves, those distant and familiar Memories accompanied her mother through the last days of her life... Similarly, those narratives full of homesickness accompanied Khaleesi through most of her childhood.

Looking at the stunning face blooming under the bright light, Elis read from Kalixi's smiling and whispering expression a deep feeling of longing, a daughter's endless longing for her mother, and some vague surprises The emotion found, seems to be...

"Your Highness, forgive me for talking too much, you must really want to see your mother's hometown with your own eyes, right?" As soon as these words came out, Elis confirmed his thoughts with satisfaction, and Kalixi suddenly froze. look.

A moment of surprise, a moment of surprise, a moment of...surprise.

Suddenly, a mixed feeling of five flavors, following Elis's probing words, caught Kalixi's blue eyes looking at the window unexpectedly, golden sunlight entangled with flickering eyes, The indescribable brilliance, against the slightly complicated mood of Khaleesi, made it even more chaotic.
