[comprehensive] dear king

Kaori looked at the clothes in her hands with some embarrassment. The female slaves in Gilgamesh's palace all wore similar clothes. They were not allowed to wear long wool skirts that only maids of noble origin could wear. This one will reveal a large area of ​​back skin and waist when worn on the body.

Uruk is in the heat of summer, and female slaves are allowed to wear cool clothes to walk between the palaces. Gilgamesh has beautiful women all over the country, but there are no "favored concubines" in his harem, even if he was born in a noble family. It can only be a maid, and it is impossible to have a formal marriage relationship with him, not even a queen.

After Kaori woke up and was able to get out of bed, Li Xin taught her some rules in the palace, but she thought this child was very cute, and no one was willing to make things difficult for her. Thinking of this, Li Xin couldn't help it. Touching Kaori's pale lips, this child's food intake is very small, and she can't eat three ripe figs, which makes Li Xin unable to help but worry about her health.

"You have to eat more. Although there is no meat here, it is always good to have some bread." Lixin stroked Kaori's hair, kindly like a mother, her father Lugalbanda in Gilgamesh He was still in the palace, and he had served in the palace when he was not a god, and he had witnessed Gilgamesh's childhood and youth with his own eyes.

She has the deepest experience in the palace, and she knows how to serve the increasingly tyrannical king so that fewer people will be spared punishment.

In the palace of Uruk, what the female slaves fear most is not washing the soot from the palace or weaving cloth for Gilgamesh, spinning and other heavy work. What they fear most is serving the king to take a bath. At this time, they are chosen to serve The female slaves were going to wipe his back. It was not allowed to touch the king's body. Most of the maids would tremble in fear, for fear that they would be punished by the king if they did not use force uniformly.

Under Li Xin's teaching, Xiangori gradually learned how to spin and weave cloth. She stared at the ancient spindle spinning wool into thread with her shining eyes, and opened her mouth foolishly with a face that had never seen the world. It can also make Li Xin feel very cute. Li Xin was born in a noble family. She has worked in the palace for nearly half of her life. She once had a child, but died young. It was a little girl with grape-like eyes.

For some reason, she looked at this child as if she saw her own daughter who hadn't grown up in time, pouring all the long-lost maternal love into her.

The more I look at it, the more I like it, I wish I could hide this child as my own treasure, imagining that if she is really my daughter, she will be at the age where she can find a good marriage, even sometimes when watching her clumsy learning weaving, Li Xin would wonder if she could ask the king to give this child to her as a daughter, so that she could watch the child put on the wedding dress as a mother.

However, Li Xin also knew that this was impossible. Whenever he thought of this, the head maid would always smile helplessly and reach out to touch the girl's long hair.

When she was reporting the financial expenditure of the palace to Gilgamesh that day, the king raised his head out of boredom, his scarlet eyes stared at the old head maid in front of him, and there was a piercing smile on his lips, "That How is the female slave who educated you?" It took several days for him to ask this matter, which almost made Li Xin mistakenly think that he had forgotten the existence of Kaori after trying something new.

But Wang did not forget that he brought up this matter at such an unexpected moment.

"Okay, okay, I'm teaching this child some rules and weaving in the palace—" Li Xin's heart beat rapidly, and his nervous fingertips felt cold.

"Is the slave mark marked?" The king interrupted her timid answer. The female slaves in the palace will be marked with slave marks on their hands or backs to prevent them from escaping.

"—that child is too weak, for the time being—" Li Xin interceded in a dying struggle, "when her health is better——"

"The royal palace does not raise invalids." Gilgamesh put down the clay tablet in his hand and yawned, "You go there yourself, and after you mark it, send her to serve the king to take a bath."

——The most important iron rule in the palace is far above other rules.

Do not disobey Gilgamesh.

Li Xin covered her mouth, trying to restrain herself from crying in front of the king.

Xun Er was looking at her first finished product, and when she saw Li Xin coming back, she immediately sent the first one she made like a coquettish child—it couldn't be counted as a horse, it was just a piece of cloth, and sent it to Li Xin. What Li Xin did was really crude compared to what she did, but she still couldn't have a small sense of accomplishment as a girl.

But Li Xin's expression was not normal, she looked at the child fixedly, and remembered the girl in her wedding dress that she had imagined countless times in her mind, suddenly she didn't know where the courage came from, and grabbed Xiangori "Run away," she grabbed Kaori's hand, "Run away, before being marked as a slave, go east, to Ur, to some other country—"

If it is marked as a slave, the child will be Gilgamesh's private property for the rest of her life, and she will never be able to usher in the day of freedom to marry her lover, and she will not be able to wear a wedding dress...

Kaori grabbed the panicked Lixin's hand, "What's wrong?" She comforted the elderly head maid, who finally couldn't bear it and cried out.

She choked up and told the king's unreasonable order.

Kaori bit her lips tightly, "If I leave, Lixin will be punished, right?" The head maid couldn't say a word, tears kept pouring out of her eyes, the princess let go of Lixin's grip. hand, turned around and lifted her long hair, revealing a piece of white skin behind her, "Do it."

--I'm not afraid.

--I'm not afraid

The girl's body trembled slightly, tears filled her eyes little by little, the small soldering iron in Lixin's hand made a sizzling sound, the head maid's hand was also trembling, and the heat of the iron slowly approached The girl's skin was never really attached.

"I can't do it—" Li Xin threw away the soldering iron, knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, "I can't do it—"

The time for the king to take a bath was getting closer and closer. If he didn't do anything else, Lixin would be violating the king's order. Moreover, marking the slave girl was also one of the king's laws, so it was beyond reproach.

Kaori picked up the small stamp soldering iron on the side, looked at Li Xin, then at the back of her hand, and clenched her teeth, but before she could do anything, Li Xin stood up and snatched the small soldering iron, "No Printed on her hands." Her eyes were red and swollen, "The prints on her hands will fester when they touch water." The muscles on her cheeks were tense, and she tried to restrain her emotions, "Hurry up and go, there is still time."

"Li Xin is very good to me," Xun Er said even ten bulls couldn't pull her back when she became stubborn, "I don't want to hurt you."

The old and the young confronted each other like this, but a man's voice came from the door, "I knew it was like this."

Li Xin was so frightened that he turned his head and hid Xiangori behind him, "Bill Hurtula?" Li Xin gasped. He was the king's bodyguard and had served him since he was a child, and he was loyal to the king.

"The king asked me to see if you followed his orders." Bill Hurtula's eyes fell on Li Xin's face, "I heard everything, I thought you were as loyal to the king as I am, Wouldn't disobey any orders from him, but it looks like I was wrong."

"Let this child go, he has already tortured her." Li Xin begged for help, if it was Gilgamesh who was here at this moment, she would not dare to beg for mercy like this, but the person who is here at this moment It was Bill Hurtula, who had seen another glimmer of light.

"Fool!" The older guard reprimanded, "Why do you think the king sent me? Do you think these little tricks and entreaties can fool the king?" He enlightened earnestly, "Do it, just like You will do it before, this child is no different, isn’t Wang tortured too many girls? You just need to harden your heart!”

"No, you won't understand, you won't understand—this kid—" This kid is different.

"It doesn't matter." Kaori hugged Li Xin from behind, "I won't make things difficult for Li Xin, besides, I can't escape, can I?" She held Li Xin's hand, When he came out, Bill Hurtula was startled by her words, but saw the girl turned around, "I won't make things difficult for you." She had a smile on her face, and she clenched her hands tightly, soaked in cold sweat. hand.

— This kid is definitely different.

Bill Huertula picked up the small soldering iron on one side, pushed away Lien who was trying to stop him, and pressed down on the girl's back where her hair could cover in the midst of the almost desperate cry of the head maid. .

Kaori couldn't hold back her screams like she imagined.

——She finally experienced the tyranny and ruthlessness of the king first-hand like a real idiot.

The girl knelt on the ground and covered her mouth, enduring the tears from the pain.

Gilgamesh was soaking in the water, drinking high-quality ale, and Kaori was brought to the bathhouse by the maid beside him. This enemy was just like his usual aesthetics, extremely luxurious, a large bathing pool inlaid with gemstones A lotus flower carved in gold floats above it, and fruits are placed on the leaves of the water lily, so that he can take it at any time.

The girl was wearing a linen skirt, her hair was braided, revealing the imprint of a slave girl branded on her back just now, she stood quietly behind him, "Oh, are you here?" Wang pursed a lewd|sexy smile, "Come here. He beckoned, pointing to the woolen towel beside him, "Wipe my back."

Xiangori obediently walked to the side and picked up the hand towel, but the man grabbed her wrist with such force that it seemed to crush her wrist bones, "It seems that you don't know how to serve the king to take a bath." He The other pinched Kaori's chin, and the girl subconsciously turned her head to avoid it.

——Although it is subtle, it cannot be ignored.

When he doted on the young girl before, her eyes were still blind and she was lifeless. It can be said that he didn't enjoy enough fun.

But it's different now, these eyes are shining like stars, gentle but not tame, well-behaved but not cowardly.

Wang pinched Kaori's chin and forced her to look at him.

"Hahahahahaha——" He seemed to have found something worthwhile, and laughed loudly, "It's really interesting, a mere doll, without the consciousness of a toy, these eyes are full of rebellion, and the untamed female slave stays It is useless, but this king is still willing to see your sweet cry on the bed to forgive you." He stood up from the water, grabbed Kaori's hand and pushed her to the edge of the bath, "How about first teaching you who is the master?"

His red eyes were full of teasing and deliberate teasing, but they met Kaori's clear eyes without any timidity.

She is not afraid of him.

Weak, weak, the puppet whose neck could be broken with just a little force, without the slightest tameness or fear in her eyes, she just looked at him quietly, tender and compassionate.

——This feeling is too complicated.

"I refuse." The girl said.

interesting.

The corner of Wang's mouth opened a cruel, excited and lewd smile.

Very interesting--

Even though he knew that he was countless times stronger than her and controlled her fate, the puppet still followed its own will.

reject him.

— but not out of disgust.

This is so much fun.

However, although such a small rebellion is cute, it is still not allowed.

The author has something to say:

Winky, you'll regret it.

Especially in the later period, when he understood the setting mechanism of the princess (Holy Grail), his mentality exploded even more.
