Invade the white dove

Under the command of the commander, the soldiers had already formed a team of five, with two on duty at night and the remaining three resting.

Dozens of large and small fires were lit on the plain on the north bank of the Doma River. Except for the kicking of the horses' hooves and the occasional snort, the only sound that could be heard was the peeling of dead branches.

Occasionally, the soldiers' conversations were all deliberately lowered, and they would never be heard by a third person.

The military discipline of the Garman Empire is strict, even if the chief is not around, they are used to obeying it.

However, the casual chatter of the soldiers stopped because of the thin figure that suddenly appeared on the hillside.

It is "Duke Utur".

The night watchmen stood up one after another, put their right fists on their chests, and silently stared at their lord.

They all chose to ignore the fact that the lord disappeared for several hours and finally appeared in front of everyone in disheveled clothes.

The black horse, which had been gnawing on the green grass by the roadside, let out a breath of hot air. Julis raised his hand and patted its head. Under the eyes of the night watch soldiers who deliberately avoided them, he walked to the center of the army, which was barely paved with withered grass and old clothes. next to the mattress.

In order to rush back to Odong as quickly as possible, Julius selected all young and strong soldiers, and each cavalry was only equipped with two pots of water and three pieces of hard bread, and he abandoned the rest of the luggage.Therefore, it is very rare to be able to use local materials to lay a fairly soft mat.

Hassan, who came back first, immediately handed over a clean cloth towel. Julis picked it up, wiped it on his face, and threw it aside: "You go to rest first, you don't need to accompany me."

Before leaving Stanley, Kyle had asked him if he needed to bring guards or servants.Julius thought about refusing, but he saw the new wounds on Hassan's arms, and pointed at the courtier without thinking.

Of course Hassan had no right to refuse, he just asked Ulis to give him time to say goodbye to his brother Abu.

Abu, Julius still remembers the boy who came and went like the wind, who has been seriously ill after Lisa's death, and it seems that his soul also travels with Lisa.Sotiria once went to the servants' dormitory to check on Abu's situation, and Julis saw in his eyes the end that the poor boy would eventually meet.

The only luck is that, in this place far away from the mad king and demons, he can at least make Hassan's life more comfortable.

"My lord, if you think the mattress is too hard, you can rest on my lap." Hassan lowered his head, showing the soft back of his neck.

He was still wearing the tulle-like gray dress gown in the Stani court, with the slits on both sides almost reaching the heels of the legs-this was the uniform of the courtiers, for the convenience of His Majesty the King's favor anytime and anywhere.

At this moment, Julis looked at the boy kneeling beside him.As the bonfire flickered, he seemed to be able to see the curvature of Hassan's waist and buttocks.

The servant boy who has been trained and matured by the king, although only 14 years old, already knows how to show his sexiness.This should arouse the desire to conquer in the bones of every man, but Julius is indifferent to it.

"You don't have to." He untied his cloak and put it on Hassan, "Sleep. This land has been completely conquered, and there is no need for many people to guard it. The biggest danger is probably the water charm lurking at the bottom of the river."

"They won't appear again." Another voice sounded abruptly.

Hassan's body trembled: "Your Excellency Sabol..."

Sotiria didn't seem to notice, he passed Hassan and sat next to Ulis.The dark blue velvet jacket was open, the semi-wet silk shirt was only buttoned three times randomly, the lace neckline was piled up at the collarbone in a mess, and the ambiguous fingerprints that had not faded were arrogantly exposed in the autumn wind.

"It's fine if I keep watch over it, you can rest." Sotiria picked up a dead branch beside him, broke it off with a blank expression, and threw it into the fire.

With a sudden sound, the flames leapt high.

Julis looked at him, clenched his hands on his knees, let them go, and clenched them again.

After a while, he took a deep breath of the burnt-smelling air, turned over and lay on the "mattress".

He opened his eyes.

This was the first time he felt Odong under the wind of late autumn and the dark blue night.

During those days in Stanislav, what he had done eroded his dreams like ghosts, and he was woken up almost every night by the unjust souls in his nightmares, and then he was hugged by Sotiria and fell asleep.

During these four days and three nights, the reason why he kept on his way without stopping was because he did not dare to face the teacher who died under his sword in his dream.And it happened again today...

He didn't sleep at all.

However, just after he was ready to open his eyes to meet the first ray of sunshine, a light scent of roses smelled like dew entered his nose, and his brain became dizzy, his eyes seemed to be pinched by a strange force Together, involuntarily fell into a dream.

"Father, why is our country always so cold? Ivan said that a fireplace has been lit in his home. Father, when can I warm up?"

Little Julius huddled in a pile of quilts, wrapped in a thick cotton coat and a fox fur.Even so, his little hands were still too cold to hold King Fino's palm.

King Fino laughed and rumpled Ulis's hair: "We must accept the test Odon gave us, Ulis. A qualified monarch can certainly enjoy it properly. Before you remember , While we were drinking fine wine and tasting pastries made of milk, there were still people gnawing wild fruits and rotten leaves in the thatched huts with air leaks everywhere.”

"But Erdu is so rich, I've never seen..."

King Fino nunuzu, Yulis immediately covered his mouth, blinking his eyes to indicate that he would not interrupt his father again.

Then the king continued: "Although there are no poor people in Erdu, poverty spreads all over the rest of the continent. Your mother once promised to God that until all the beggars taken in by the temple have enough to eat, they will live forever. Keep it simple. She though... she's been watching us from above. Julius, we can't let mom down, can we?"

"Mother..." Julius sneezed as he was itchy from King Fino's beard.Sniffing his nose, he picked up the necklace with the small portrait of his mother on King Fino's neck, rubbed it on his face, and then nodded seriously, "Well, Julius will not let mother down! "

but.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Julius felt that his hair was frozen by the cold.

He shuddered.

However, it was still cold.

"It's so cold..." He finally couldn't help it, and murmured a little aggrieved.

He really just wanted someone to hug him.

A pair of arms hugged him from behind.

A firm, cold embrace.

But it miraculously dispelled the chill from his body.

"Sleep well, I will always be with you. Miar Ulysses, MimoLange."

The first cold rain fell on the tip of his nose.

Julis woke up suddenly, and the dark blue cloak covering his body slipped off, and he subconsciously hugged the cloak in his arms.

However, the next raindrops hit the blue mask covering his body.

As expected, the sea breeze brought rain in the early morning.

According to this momentum, in another three hours, a heavy rain will come to Odong.

Julius stood up. He wanted to return the cloak to Sotiria, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Garman's soldiers, including Julius, can only be dressed in red and black.The higher the status, the more red can be used, so Julius's cloak is dark red given by the emperor, while the soldier's is black.

And this unique blue color can only belong to Mr. Knight.

"Your Excellency Sabol walked towards the ferry in the morning. I wanted to follow him, but His Excellency Sabol told me to stay with you." Hassan said beside him.

Julius didn't hear clearly: "So... Sabol, he's gone?"

Sotiria once said that he had to think about how to treat himself. Could it be that the way he came up with was to leave?

Julius chuckled, maybe this is the best.

Indecisive, he can neither betray his own beliefs, nor is he willing to cut off the affection that should not have been born. He voluntarily sinks in this pain, but why does he entrust Sotiria to suffer together?

As a complete sinner, an unforgivable sinner who committed killing, betrayal, lust, and greed, what more could he want?

What else can I ask for?

God's mercy?

The pity of wandering souls?

Knight's love?

Or, the demon's gratification of his poor desires?

"Your Excellency Sapol said that he told the Governor to prepare the ferry boat before six o'clock last night, and he wanted to check it first. Your Excellency Sapol asked me to tell you, 'I'm afraid I will disappoint you. I just kicked the boat last night. When I opened the gate of the city hall, our Mr. Governor crawled over and kissed the toe of my muddy shoe'...My lord, what does this mean?" Hassan asked.

"Huh?" Julius asked back.

Hassan had to repeat what he had just said.

As if he couldn't believe his ears, after Julis heard Hassan repeat this passage for the third time, he found that he was relieved for nothing, and hugged the cloak even tighter.

Although the rain was not too heavy, the rain had already gathered. Only then did he see Hassan's face and body covered with water droplets, trembling in the wind, looking at himself with a puzzled face, and waiting stubbornly. Answer.

"A boring bet, I lost," he said.

There was a lightness in his tone that he didn't even notice.
