The Emperor’s Angel of Death

"Your Majesty, your last wife..."

Perhaps it was the light conversation that made her let go of her tight nerves, and Elena suddenly raised a question that shouldn't have been raised.

She also learned about this shortly after entering the country.

Xerxes's wife, also his sister, died a year ago.

The King of Kings hesitated at first, because he hadn't talked about his sister-wife with others for a long time, but he still told Elena the smartest and most beautiful woman he had encountered in this world.

Her name is Stadella, the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Achaemenid, and the person who raised and educated Xerxes after he was adopted by the old king.

She is not only a sister to him, but a foster mother.

When many people in the court feared him as a "monster", Stadella has been with him all the time. The two of them often discussed the sky and the earth, people and things with a little bit of stars.

Stadella is not only a princess, but also a sage with extensive knowledge. She has a deeper understanding of the world than most people. She even knows from some ancient books that humans do not naturally appear in This world came from outside the sky. At that time, their race experienced a catastrophe called the Long Night.

In the sixth year after the advent of Xerxes, under the auspices of the old king, he and his nominal sister Stadella concluded a holy marriage, and that wedding also represented the old king’s official acceptance of him as the kingdom’s heir .

As a superman, Xerxes and Stadella’s marriage is completely spiritual, but when he talks about the marriage, he still notices that his face is lit by golden memories.

He must love her very much, right?

Elena thought to herself in her heart.

"...After the death of my adoptive father, she helped me a lot, especially my brothers who drove a rebellion during my expedition. She was the one who presided over the court and suppressed the rebels with a small amount of troops left by me. "

"I heard about it, she... is such a great woman."

"Yes, but she is also a mortal after all."

With deep regret, Xerxes told the truth.

In the twelfth year after their marriage, Stadella began to experience physical conditions. The earliest signs were severe migraines, unexplainable fainting, and short-term memory loss.

After the diagnosis, the doctor prescribed analgesics and ordered bed rest, but these did not relieve her symptoms. Xerxes sought treatment from the best doctors in the kingdoms, and finally discovered that Stadella was suffering from a very aggressive blood disease, which was a fatal disease that spread among the nobles of many kingdoms.

Upon hearing this, Elena was shocked, because she knew of this disease, and even several of her brothers and sisters died because of this disease.

The strange thing about this disease is that it basically only appears in the families of kings and nobles.

"Blood toxin!"

"...Yes, this is actually a genetic disease, the result of years of inbreeding in the kingdoms."

The doctors tried all known methods, but Stadella's condition is still difficult to deal with.

Xerxes saw his wife dying day by day, but was helpless. He hated this sense of despair, so he went slanting and began to search for all kinds of strange treatments for her, no matter how slim the possibility of success was.

Any chance is better than nothing.

He used a lot of knowledge in his brain to create many instruments. After common sense failed, he carried out a full range of herbal treatments. Even qigong, acupuncture, and breathing control methods have been tried, but they have been ineffective.

But Xerxes refused to give up. His research led him to the far corner of knowledge, unearthing all kinds of power beyond human imagination.

Even go deep into certain mysterious corners of the myths of the kingdoms, exploring dangerous ancient ruins

But this is not important, because he will save his wife by all means.

At that time, she also begged him to stop, but he turned a deaf ear.

Stadella had accepted the impending death, but Xerxes couldn't do it.

In the end, all his plans were interrupted by Lydia's invasion, and under the pressure of the soldiers, he had to fight.

"...She was standing on the high platform of the Emerald Palace at the time, watching me step onto the battlefield."

Xerxes said, the regret on his face was beyond words.

"When I returned from the battle, Stadella had passed away, and I finally did not see her for the last time."

Elena lowered her head, she felt like she should say something.

But I don't know what to say.

At this time, she made the second mistake of today.

"...Why did you choose me."

When she realized that she was wrong, the words had already been spoken.

Xerxes smiled and responded:

"Because of peace."

"Peace?"

"Although I defeated the Lydian Empire, it will take some time to completely conquer it, but the western countries have shown a certain degree of fear to me.....Let's just say that, and your father again They are the leaders of the western countries. This wedding can comfort them, at least they will not create obstacles to my unification cause in the future."

Although I was somewhat prepared, after realizing that this was a complete political marriage, Elena was still lost.

But this is also the fate of a royal princess like her, there is nothing to complain about, love is always a luxury.

What's more, before her, there was a woman who had such a profound influence on him

———————

The wedding was held as scheduled, very grand and lively.

It is said that the wedding alone cost hundreds of thousands of flowers. Residents of the entire capital raised torches to bless their emperor and new queen. Representatives from dozens of countries and tribes gathered at the wedding.

Elena wore a heavy wedding gown and walked many places with the maid. It was only at this moment that she realized that what Xerxes was telling her was true.

The wedding is really tiring!

In the palace, she needs to stand for nearly an hour, perform a long canonization ceremony and receive blessings from many envoys, nobles, and representatives.

In the square, she needs to throw gold coins and flowers to the people on both sides of the road.

In the temple, the high priest first used the holy fire to circle her head three times, and then she and her husband would add wood to the holy fire and listen to the long and sleepy blessings of the priests.

Then, she also needs to pay her respects to the gods and personally present her tribute.

Finally, under the gaze of the magnificent statue of Ahura Mazda, she and Xerxes cut their arms, dripped them into the wine, and drank each other's blood to show their loyalty to each other.

But she noticed that Xerxes' wound healed only in the blink of an eye.

In the last step of the wedding, Xerxes drew the scimitar around his waist, held a golden horseshoe in his other hand, knelt down on one knee, and said solemnly to Elena:

"You are my wife. I will use my knife and steed to guard everything about you and protect our family until the end of life."

Elena was holding a branch of Elaeagnus angustifolia in her hand, a plant that represents breeding and life, and responded softly:

"You are my husband, and I will use my hands to raise your offspring and guard our family until the end of life."

Then the two kissed each other and officially became husband and wife.

————————

She looked at the dim cave, the mysterious and strange son of the former emperor, uttering the hoarse voice that was awakened for the first time in ten thousand years.

"What do you want to do, Sol Taviz."

Thor sighed slightly, and fiddled with the fading bonfire in front of him with his fingers.

"I don't want to do anything. Our goals are the same, to find that lost battleship. You were her captain, so I hope to cooperate with each other in the future."

"Your purpose is not simple, there are those people hiding in the dark, I don't trust you."

"Madam, at least we are all on the side of the empire~www.readwn.com~ aren't we."

The body of the cyborg froze for a moment, and then his shoulders came loose.

"I see."

"Thank you very much, then let's go."

As he said, Saul stretched out his hand to extinguish the flame, but suddenly he stopped again, turned his face to look at the semi-robot that was illuminated by the fire, and whispered:

"Mrs. Elena, let me speak more, let go of what should be put down... Abaddon once again saw his most faithful and beloved father, Horu who died and was resurrected by cloning technology. Si, but he killed the opponent with his own hands, because he knew that no matter what method was used, the one who was resurrected was no longer the one he knew."

The other party remained motionless, Thor shook his head, and reached out to extinguish the flame.

The darkness enveloped the two in an instant.
