Invade the white dove

Julius ignored the crowd who couldn't stop bowing to him, and went back to the city hall like a ghost.

The governor who was deposed by him not only seized the remaining food and wealth of the residents, but also collected a lot of noble items that were missed by the siege soldiers from the ruins of White Pigeon Castle during these three months.

In the temporary residence of the governor of the city hall, there are more than a dozen huge mahogany treasure boxes neatly stacked. Each box is locked with three locks, obviously hiding treasures.

But Julius didn't look through those boxes, but stopped in front of the neatly arranged oak jewelry box on the round desk under the arched window.

The jewelry box is the size of a book, and what is hidden inside is not gold, silver and jewelry, but handwritten letters.Pressed on the yellowed and crumpled parchment is a string of pink needle bead necklaces, and a small portrait of a figure is hidden in the silver round pendant.

The last queen of the Odong Kingdom, Merida Kles, the mother of Eulis, wearing a rose wreath intertwined with pink and blue, showing a soft side face, is smiling at him warmly.

Julis knelt in front of the wooden box, dazed.

Sotiria walked up to him, randomly took out a letter from the pile of letters, and read it softly.

——"Dear Merida, I haven't seen you for a long time. I don't know if you miss me as much as I miss you. The journey is tiring, and the scenery you see is beautiful, but the smile on your lips is not enough. The meals prepared by the nobles are also simple. , not as delicious as the one ten thousandth you usually prepare for me. I really regret that I promised the Grand Duke to go hunting with him in the palace. Oh don't believe me, I will not hunt any cute little animals, but this is the nobles Necessary communication. When I go back, I must kiss you a thousand times."

"The love letter written by King Fino to Queen Merida, I really can't get tired of reading it ten thousand times." Sotiria said, "However, Odong's palace... that piece of land was in the third place after Fino's marriage. It was ceded to the Garman Empire in [-]. Fino has been on the throne for decades, and Odong’s territory has shrunk again and again. It could have been able to rival the Garman Empire, but in the end only the small area of ​​Erdu remained. "

Sotiria made comments on King Fino without hesitation, but did not expect any reaction from Ulis.He shook the letter paper and read the second letter.

—— "...Forgive me for not being able to get back in time, I hope everything is well, I pray for you day and night. Kiss you and our future baby.

Sotiria shrugged and said without surprise: "Merida is about to give birth. This is the time when the wife is most vulnerable and needs protection. As a husband, Fino is not by her side."

"After my father learned that his mother was pregnant, the wording in the letter was very different from the previous period. He seemed to have foreseen that something bad would happen." Ulis finally couldn't help but refute.

In the past few days, he has read these dozens of letters countless times, and every sentence and every word has been printed in his mind.

During the mother's initial pregnancy, the father's words in his letters rarely express joy, and even less mention his expectations for the newborn.However, when the queen was about to give birth, the king, who was still away, seemed to realize that he was going to become a father, and his lines were full of love again.

As an outsider, I am afraid that there will be no hesitation in suspecting that there is a gap between the king and queen.But Julius witnessed with his own eyes that even though his mother had been dead for so many years, his father had never looked at other beautiful women.

He didn't believe that any changes would happen to his parents' feelings.

"I can feel that my father...was afraid of my birth at first. But why?" Julius turned his head and looked at Sotiria.

His Mr. Knight is familiar with Odon's past, and the Angel of Yihe seems to be an old acquaintance with him.

Julius couldn't help but think of the scene when he saw Sotiria for the first time in the desert, when he called out his name accurately.

He must face up to the fact that he has been avoiding.

"Sotilia, I have no intention of prying into your privacy, but this is related to my parents, I must know."

Sotiria looked down at him.

"I said a few days ago that I didn't forget important things. At that time, your response was very strange. I should have found out. I didn't sleep these days, but my mind was very active. I thought, I'm going to put all this I figured it all out." Julis said slowly but firmly, "In the Lion Castle, the dream about the tower, I know it's not fake, I knew you when I was very young, but Forgot about you after the age of eight."

"I forgot about you, Sotiria."

Sotiria chuckled, "Forget... what do you think you're remembering, Ulysses?"

"Beside the Doma River, when my consciousness was blurred, I saw your eyes and remembered fragmentary images. Sotiria, you have saved me more than once." Julis' voice raised unconsciously, "Don't rush to deny it, I know you well enough, I can see when you are trying to lie to me. I guess the reason why you pretend not to know me or your father is because you had some kind of misunderstanding before, It is very likely that your father misunderstood your identity, and you were very disappointed in him, so you fell out."

This is indeed possible. Ulis's father was a king after all, and he gave Ulis all his patience, and occasionally had a bad temper with those around him.

"But you didn't leave Odong directly. Instead, you were always around your parents, observing them and protecting them. Maybe when you knew your mother was pregnant, you were always by her side and guarded her."

After finishing these words in one breath, Yuli looked calmly at Sotiria, waiting for the other party's answer.

"Guard you." After a long silence, Sotiria corrected a small object.

So for other guesses, is it the default?

For some reason, after hearing Sotiria's answer and knowing that their fates had been intertwined a long time ago, Julius felt a lot more relaxed.

Perhaps, the encounter between him and Sotiria was all arranged by the God of God.

"My father... Did he know that my birth was a disaster? And you, you are worried that your father will kill me, so you have been protecting me? Why?" Ulis asked.

Sotiria stared at him.

At this moment, someone knocked softly on the wooden door, and without waiting for Julis to respond, Hassan reported outside the room: "My lord, the patrol soldiers found the body of the former governor by the Doma River, and he has been dead for a long time."

Yulis turned his head and looked at Sotiria, who was not surprised at all.

"Understood." Julis replied coldly, "Hassan, stay outside the door and no one will disturb you. In addition, I have ordered that anyone who approaches the corpse, whether they are soldiers or civilians, be killed. "

When Hassan's footsteps gradually receded, Sotiria explained: "I dare not take the risk of letting him escape back to Stanley alive."

Julius showed too many flaws in front of the governor.Just the fact that you can find the town hall lounge without anyone leading the way is enough to make you suspicious.Now that Julius has restored the citizenship of the Odong people on his own initiative, and only executed Yihe who instigated the riot, such tolerance is definitely not the result Kyle wants.

What's more, no matter how "favored" Julis is at present, he is not in front of Kyle now, and he will definitely not be able to refute those far-flung slanders in time.

It is neither the wife nor the lover who stays with the monarch, but suspicion.

Especially a lunatic like Kyle.

But what surprised Sotiria was Julius' faint smile.

"You thought I would blame you for killing him." Julis asked back, "In your eyes, have I always been a toddler who couldn't hold a sword steady and screamed when he saw blood? "

Sotiria was noncommittal.

"My hands are already stained with blood. Those of the enemy, the people of Odong, the teachers, the innocent people, and even my parents... It doesn't make any difference if I take another life."

Sotiria looked at him and was silent for a long time.

Julis tilted his head slightly to look at him, showing a rare mischievous smile: "Old man, I know you very early, I am very happy. I believe that all of this is arranged by God."

Perhaps Aoshen also knew long ago that he would be irrevocably fascinated by Sotiria.

But he saw Sotiria's beautiful eyebrows suddenly twisted together.

"There is no existence that is omnipotent..." He sneered, "In the face of human tricks, the gods are not worth mentioning at all."

"Trick? Sotiria, you know the truth, but you are hiding it." Julis said, "You promised me that you would never lie to me."

"I do not know."

"lie."

"Your father has no secrets."

"……lie."

"I did know your father."

"Well, the truth."

"But our relationship is not close. At least, Fino has part of your plan that I don't know."

Julius nodded.

"... There used to be a secret room in Dove Castle, which was sealed in the shadows by the blood deed, and only the descendants of Kleis with the blood of Dove could open it." Sotiria said slowly, "Perhaps, there is something hidden in it." Follow the truth you want to know."

"Take me there." Julius immediately answered.

"Youlis, there are some things that don't need to get to the bottom of it."

"Take me there." Julius repeated word for word.
