"I know that my uncle is going to marry you to the fourth son of Zuo Visir of the Sautech dynasty in a year. His name should be Imotek? Well, I heard that he is a very heroic and intelligent nobleman. , has already made many meritorious deeds on the battlefield at a young age, at least better than the 'idiot' Zandrak. You should be glad that it was not this father who requested marriage from his uncle. The Gidelin family is in Sot The Kremlin dynasty is an extremely prominent family that is directly related to the emperor. If they initiate a marriage, my uncle will not refuse.”
“Cousin!”
Lana sat up directly, but not yet. When he straightened up, the opponent held his shoulders.
“Don’t move, it’s very dangerous, it may tear your beautiful skin off directly. Everyone praises you as the most beautiful princess in the dynasty, and many princes and princes will launch honorary duels for you. If you have any injuries, I can't explain it to my uncle and aunt."
The young princess who was pushed back into the liquid stared at her cousin. She wanted to say something but couldn't. She could only wait for the other party to explain the process. Finished walking.
"I know you want to become a science and technology technician and get rid of the arranged life, but Lana, you are different from me. I am born ugly. No one wants to marry me, and I don't want to marry those rough warriors. My My parents have many children, and they don’t need me to perform any political tasks, so I can have this choice. Now is the chaotic era of great reshuffles. Dynasties will either unite or go to war. The strong will become stronger and the weak will become weaker. The Sotec dynasty is now so strong that even the Council of the Three Saints needs to give them three points. The dynasty is now in a stalemate with Menak. Our King, your uncle, now needs the support from the Sotec. , you also need to take care of your uncle, he is Visil after all, and he needs to solve problems for his monarch and parents."
Lana was just silent until the cleaning was completed, and the liquid was slowly discharged from the equipment. , she walked out silently, dried herself with a towel, then put on her robe and walked out without saying a word.
Seeing her like this, Hotep shook his head helplessly and followed her out.
At this time Lana was already sitting at her desk, her head slightly lowered. When the other party came behind her, she whispered:
"Cousin, it was my mother who asked me to You came to persuade me, right?”
Hotep gently put his hand on the other person's left shoulder.
“No, because I haven’t finished what I said.”
As she spoke, her other hand conjured up a magic stone made of several black stone slabs fitted together. Calculate the tablet and place it gently on the table.
“If you are really firm in your thoughts, go ahead boldly. No matter whether this marriage will really happen or not, as long as you stay firm, neither your father nor your husband will care. Will make you change”
“Cousin.”
Lana held the slate, turned around and looked at Hotep with emotion. The man's slightly ugly face forced a smile and touched her head.
"There was a slogan at the beginning of the establishment of the academic community. Our lives do not belong to any heroes or kings, but only to ourselves and infinite knowledge."
"Well!" "Now first Eat something, I heard from my aunt that you didn’t eat anything yesterday.”
The two quickly came to the huge balcony of the spacious bedroom, where there was a gilt round table and a table. There were two stools wrapped in expensive fabrics, and then the door to the room opened, and groups of female servants walked in. They were wearing simple plain robes, and each of them held a metal plate in their hand, which contained a unique shape. Each of the Necrontyr's specialty foods is extremely delicate but in very small portions, only enough for a small bite, as well as a water bottle and crystal cup filled with drinks.
The two female nobles also ate very elegantly. They only ate a small amount of everything, and then the maids took the plates away. Hundreds of maids meant hundreds of delicacies.
When a servant filled her crystal glass with a scarlet drink, Lana noticed that part of the left side of the maid's face was covered by diseased spongy tissue. This maid had accompanied Lana since she was a child. The oldest one is also the oldest among all the maids, but in fact she should not be more than thirty years old. This makes Lana shudder. Although she is in her youth now, she has been hinted that death will happen eventually. I will come to your door in the future.
Outside the balcony, a rising sun is slowly rising. From this balcony located on the upper floor of the towering and majestic Royal Great Pyramid, you can overlook the entire capital of the Mupekta dynasty.
The entire capital was built in a concentric circle with the Great Royal Pyramid as the center, surrounded by five smaller pyramids, representing the collateral families of the French royal family, and surrounded by a ring maintained with superb technology. The ecological garden is like a silent moat. Next to the garden, the tombstones of our ancestors stand side by side, like stone sentries guarding both sides of the throne. The tombstones of these ancestors are extremely huge, reflecting the Necrontyr clan's respect for The unique belief and worship of death.
In the middle of the city are the territories and mansions of the nobles. Their buildings are equally magnificent, but they are never allowed to exceed the Royal Great Pyramid. At the edge of the city, there are countless inconspicuous little earthbags. The Dead is a society with clearly defined classes and strict barriers. The nobles have absolute dominance over the common people, and the law is limited to disputes within the nobles.
The two were chatting while eating, and suddenly Lana sighed:
"Now the civil wars in various dynasties are getting more and more intense. The wrong war launched by the Three Saints Council is pushing all of us into a desperate situation. Cousin, what do you mean? Do we still have hope?"
Hearing this, Hotep put down his cup and looked up at the giant scarlet sun.
“I don’t know that those ancient enemies are too powerful, and their technology is incredible. Maybe this war was indeed too hasty from the beginning.”
“Is it hasty? I think it’s too hasty. This is a mistake. My father said that the King of Silence promised eternal life? , and then asked me to reach out and fish out the moon reflected in the water. I said, how can this be done? This is a reflection, and it is out of reach. My father sighed, there are too few people who understand this. "
After hearing this, Hotep was silent for a moment and said softly:
"Lana, don't you want an eternal and healthy life?"
"Think about it. Don't talk about eternity, as long as you can not Being tortured by illness again, I think it is enough to walk through life easily, and eternity sounds too far, too far, too far to be true, and too far away to be like a lie. Cousin, what about you? "
Hotep's ugly face moved slightly, then he raised his head and looked at the crescent-like aircraft flying across the sky.
“Not every life accepts its role, eternity is something beyond our understanding, the history of Necrontyr is a poignant poem, we know the end of all is death, we know Our relatives, friends and enemies, and everything around us will end in destruction. We know every detail of the tragedy, and can even hear the sad melody playing on every stone, but the Necrontyr does not play in the tragedy. Let civilization embark on a short-lived path. We take our own kind seriously, although they will undoubtedly die. We spend every day busy building our dreams, although all dreams will also end cruelly. When When faced with the choice of fate, everyone has completely different thoughts.”
