swear to love heaven

The vines sway with the wind, and the slender shadows of countless threads, like the raindrops blown by the slanting wind, are projected lightly and meanderingly on the snow-white ground. The colorful shadows are constantly changing in the warm sea breeze. .

In the ear, the sound of the waves is one after another, and the eternal and vigorous rhythm of the song, but because of the sunshine on the Aegean Sea that is stubbornly chasing the sea breeze, it has an extra romantic and lingering color...

The blue of the Aegean Sea is clear, dazzling and intoxicating.

Such a vast sea area, embracing the shadow of the sky, filled with the enthusiasm of the sun, is simply unbelievably beautiful.

"Karixi." Suddenly, Nam'an's voice sounded from behind.Surprised, he was so dazed looking at the beautiful scenery outside the terrace that he completely forgot that King Mai Xi was sitting beside him.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry." She nodded apologetically, and a blush bloomed on her cheeks.

Fascinated by watching, Nam'an stared intently at the smiling Khaleesi with a warm and presumptuous look in his eyes.

At this time, the maid stepped forward holding the silver plate, put down the refreshments, and bowed back.

With a light cough, he picked up his cup and took a sip of tea. Nam'an concealed his absence, but he couldn't help glancing at Kalixi from the corner of his eyes. "What were you thinking just now, so preoccupied?"

He picked up the hair that was blown by the wind around his face and tucked it behind his ears. His long black hair wrapped around his arms with the wind, writhing and struggling restlessly.

"Your Majesty, I have been in Mycenae for fifteen days. I think..." He narrowed his eyes, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his blue eyes, and said softly, "I should go back to Hittite."

Dazed, a moment of astonishment, a moment of bewilderment, a moment of... loss of soul.

Without trying to hide it, Nam'an asked eagerly, "What's wrong? Could it be that you don't like Mycenae? Or... did I do something wrong?"

The thought of not wanting Khaleesi to leave was direct, even strong.

Shaking his head, he quickly explained. "Of course not. I like Mycenae very much. It not only has beautiful scenery, but also has an amazing culture. Your Majesty, you have cared for me in every possible way. How could you have done something wrong? Please do Do not say it that way!"

The look of anxiety was obvious, instead of being relieved by Kalixi's words, Nam'an became even more restless. "In this case, why are you in such a hurry to go back to Hittite?"

Frowning, a touch of sadness, revealing a hint of shyness. "Your Majesty, I have been away from Hittite for too long. I am afraid...the regent will be worried. What's more, I am an envoy of Hittite. I have completed my mission and should return home."

Suddenly, something pierced Nam'an's gloomy eyes and shot straight at Kalixi's unsuspecting blue eyes. A gloomy breath seeped out through his dark eyes, and a condensed haze invisible to the naked eye was spreading covering the entire terrace.

Khaleesi moved her body uneasily, and lowered her eyes, avoiding the scorching sight that took only a moment to turn from warm to cold.

With his back stiffened, Nam'an looked at Kalisi with unpredictable eyes, his expressionless and indifferent face was completely different from the previous smiling appearance. "Karisi, you came all the way across the Aegean Sea. If you only stay in such a short time to return to Hittite, everyone will think that I did not entertain the most honorable guest of Mycenae. What about an explanation?"

"This..." He frowned, momentarily at a loss for words.

Her hesitation was seen in Namu'an's eyes, and he then changed his tone and said in a sad voice: "I will write to the regent personally and tell her that you are all right in Mycenae, please don't worry about it." I miss you. Just relax and stay for a few more days before going back, okay?"

Nam'an, the majestic king of a country, begged her so humbly, if he still refused to agree, it would be too rude.

Nodding helplessly, and smiling a little far-fetched, Kalixi could only sigh secretly in her heart.

In this case, let's stay for a few more days, just a few days...

She really misses home, misses the Hittite air with the smell of wine, misses the sonorous Hittite language, misses the Hittite morning meeting that is always quarreling because of differences, misses the morning white mist around the holy mountain, misses... The handsome face next to the pillow with a smile even in sleep, and the trace of childishness hidden in the slightly curved lip line, made people suddenly suffocated, inexplicably.

Is the regent who is so hauntingly dreamy, is she caught up in longing like myself, is she missing each other's embrace like me, is she always echoing in the sound of the surging tide like me? At that time, I vaguely heard whispers in those moonlit nights...

★★★★★★★★★

Nothing shocked Nam'an more than knowing that the Hittite navy wiped out the pirates in one fell swoop.However, apart from the indescribable astonishment and the myriad of questions, there was also a kind of guess that made him tremble.

As a country that relies on the Aegean Sea to thrive, Mycenae has the largest fleet in the Federation and an invincible and sophisticated navy, which is the key to Mycenae's position as the number one city-state in the Aegean Sea Federation for many years.

Hittites are known for land warfare. Chariots, cavalry, and infantry are the basic configuration of this plateau army. With sharp and hard iron weapons, and those Hittite warriors with fighting blood flowing in their bones, Hittites dominate the security. The Natolian Plateau has been around for hundreds of years.

However, the Hittite naval battle was unheard of.

"Only ten ships?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Fei Sier, who was wearing a general's attire, replied. He was a Mycenae general with great military exploits, and he also controlled most of the Mycenae army, including the famous and huge navy.

Sitting on the snow-white stone throne, Nam'an frowned and asked, "How is the battle going?"

"The pirate army was wiped out. Hittite captured three pirate ships. The captured pirates were reduced to slaves and sold in the slave market in Marri."

"..." Silence, the frown on the brow deepened a little.

Finding that Nam'an's face was not looking good, Fei Sier raised his eyebrows with a look of contempt, as if he had spoken out. "Hittite used ten ships to encircle the pirates, so what if they won? If it was our warships, two ships would be enough to deal with those pirates."

"Master Fasser, don't underestimate the Hittites. Although they have many enemies and few enemies, this is their first naval battle. They have no combat experience, no sailing experience, and no generals and soldiers who are familiar with naval battles. Hittite This is the maiden voyage of Ti, and the record is already very good." Elis looked at the self-righteous Feisser and said, there was a tone of contempt hidden in his words, so obvious that everyone could hear the clues.

"Who is leading the army?" It was Nam'an who asked the question, and now is not the time to deal with the intrigue among the ministers.

"Raschel, son of Cusina."

"Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs. He has never fought at sea, and he won a complete victory on his first attack. Hittite...is very troublesome." He whispered, and there was something strange in his dark expression.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Fei Sier asked softly, with a tentative tone.

With a wave of his hand, he picked up the cup and brought it close to his mouth. The spicy liquid flowed down his throat and into his stomach, feeling like it was burning.Putting down his glass, he said in a serious voice: "The two countries have signed an agreement. It is reasonable for them to kill pirates in their own waters. It is completely in line with the terms of the agreement to protect their respective waters. It's just that Hittites own warships. It's really hidden too deep, and we have been kept in the dark. You people, you haven't even found out such an important thing, what use do I need you?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for missing the investigation!" Everyone knelt down and bowed their heads in response.

Frowning, he said impatiently, "Get up, what's going on in Egypt?"

The ministers got up one after another, and the corners of their clothes rubbed against each other slightly, very lightly.

"Your Majesty, the Pharaoh took his warships to the sea to wipe out the pirates in the Mediterranean Sea. He met the pirates a few days ago and defeated them in just two days. At present, the Egyptians are still searching for the remaining pirates in the Mediterranean Sea." Fei Sier said the latest According to the intelligence, the faces of the ministers behind him were solemn.

"The Mediterranean... is too close." The sunlight by the window entangled with the sea breeze, flew into the house carefree, and lifted the white curtain behind the throne to dance quietly and enchantingly.

Nam'an's increasingly gloomy face, against the backdrop of those shrewd eyes, flickered on and off, forcing everyone looking at him to realize the conspicuous anxiety of the king.

"Your Majesty?" Ays stood aside and whispered softly, with complicated eyes.

Suddenly, he shouted at Fei Sier: "Ramonsis is wandering around the Mediterranean with a large number of warships, is it just for a few small pirates? It seems that something is not right... You pay close attention to the movement of the Egyptian warships, As long as they change their course, report immediately."

"Yes."

Elis glanced at Fei Sier beside him, then turned to Nam'an and asked, "Your Majesty, are you worried that Egypt is not good for us?"

"A venomous snake swims in the Mediterranean Sea, and a falcon guards on the opposite side of the Aegean Sea. These two signed an alliance treaty in Kadesh... Prosper together, fight together against the enemy..." Leaning on the back of the large chair , he tapped the precious gems inlaid on the armrest, the rhythm under his fingertips was regular and steady, and he narrated the facts expressionlessly.

"Your Majesty, whether it is Egypt or Hittite, no matter how they are staring at Mycenae. Now, we are holding a weapon in our hands, have you forgotten?" Fei Sier suddenly interrupted the conversation, arrogantly The expression seemed to be the winning ticket.

Frowning, puzzled. "arms?"

"Hittite envoy." He smiled and spoke softly.

Suddenly, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Kalixi!" Nam'an's eyes flashed in astonishment. It was hard to tell what was hidden there. There was unbearable, apprehension, and helplessness.

"Fei Sier, you are too bold! Princess Kalixi is an envoy sent by Hittite, do you know what serious consequences will be caused if the envoys of the neighboring country are detained?" Pointing at Fei Sier's face, Elyi Sri Lanka angrily said.

Gazing at him, Feisue argued plausibly: "The Hittites already have a navy, and they will come to Mycenae sooner or later. Why can't we attack them first? Lord Elis, you are just going After a trip to Hittite, why did your tone of voice change after you came back?"

"You----" was angry, his eyes were burning with anger, wishing to burn a hole out of Fei Sier.

"Shut up!" A shout made the two of them immediately quiet down.

"Your Majesty, Princess Khaleesi is not just an ordinary envoy. She is not only a Syrian princess, but also the... lover of the Hittite Regent. Hittite has declared war, and Hittite will definitely send troops. At that time, the king of Syria will not let it go, and will definitely send troops to support Hittite. In addition, Egypt, which signed the Kadesh Treaty with Hittite... Your Majesty, the three countries will join hands to conquer the Aegean Sea, This will be a catastrophe for Mycenae, Your Majesty, please think twice, this matter must not be hasty!" Ays bowed his head deeply towards the throne, and an anxious and worried voice came from his drooping face.He is over half a century old, and he understands what a war with disparity in strength means. Mycenae is backed by the Aegean Federation, but it is definitely not an opponent of the Hittites who were born for war. Besides, there is an Egyptian from the side Help... Mycenae will lose in this battle.

"They only have the three countries joining forces. We have the army of the Aegean Sea Federation. The nearest city-states of Donis, Shmita, Giatok... and other city-states will support us. They will send troops to come. The whole Isn’t the Aegean Federation still invincible to just three countries?” Fei Sier could not stand Elis’ timid approach, and this time he went to Hittite to conclude the Aegean Sea sharing agreement, which he strongly advocated .This old guy who has been half buried in the loess, apart from his years, has lost even his guts.

"Three countries in a row? Hittite's million cavalry, Egypt's five major legions, and even the weakest Syria has an army of 30 people. Fei Sier, have you ever counted them? Together, they are an army of more than 200 million people." Huge army of soldiers."

"Els, I think you should figure out the situation. Although the entire Aegean Federation has less than 200 million troops, if you want to land in Mycenae, you have to cross the sea. One has to cross the Aegean Sea, and the other has to cross the Mediterranean Sea. , they don't have so many ships to transport soldiers to Mycenae. No matter how many troops they have, they are useless if they can't cross the sea. We just need to use our expertise to block their ships at sea. These people have no chance to see Mycenae port, they will all be buried in the belly of the fish."

"No ships? Where did the Hittite warships come from? They conjure up ten warships in one day, and there is no guarantee that there are more ships hidden somewhere. You have been sending people to inquire about the maritime intelligence of various countries. Tell me, can you guarantee that the Hittites only have these ten warships?"

"Okay, stop arguing!" Once again, Nam'an stopped the chattering arguments, and the two people who were at odds with each other never stopped. "Prison Khaleesi's guards, find an excuse not to allow them to leave the camp, and send someone to monitor Khaleesi and everyone she brought into the palace. From now on, she cannot leave the palace without my order."

"Your Majesty!" When Nam'an's voice fell, Elis exclaimed in shock. He looked palely at the man sitting on the throne... What appeared in front of him was the desolation of Mycenae caught in the flames of war. scene.

"Of order, I'll do it right away." Fesser responded proudly, glanced at the dazed Elis, and smiled triumphantly.

In the future, it only needs a small decision, and it will be changed forever... The future of Mycenae has since embarked on another path of destruction.
