He wanted to see it too.
How far can Hilde go in the future?
So, Archidamus said earnestly: "I can understand your idea now, but there is still a long way to go for many things. If you want to achieve it, I guess there is still a long way to go."
"No matter how many years it takes, we must keep going for the future."
Chapter 1, Section 9: The Queen Feeling Pressure
"Yes."
Hilde picked up the glass.
"Let us work together for the future."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Hilde drank the red wine in the glass.
The Archidamus in front of him seemed to have truly surrendered to him.
However, in Hilde's heart, she was still thinking about some issues. At least, for now, Archidamus was of no use to her. His role was limited to making the Spartans obedient after taking Syracuse. However, even if there was no Archidamus, if she really annexed the last piece of land in the Greek civilization circle, then the Spartans would not be able to resist anymore.
Wait until the banquet is over.
Hilde, slightly tipsy, returned to her residence.
"Ah... I'm so happy today."
Hilde fell headfirst onto the bed.
Sophia, who was sitting on the side, said with some resentment: "Xixi, don't do this next time."
"Are you talking about arranging a fight between Dione and the Nemean Lion?"
"Of course, that's it!"
"Oh, don't worry, this won't happen again! However, it's a pity that Dione was not allowed to play this time. If this child can cleanly and neatly eliminate the lion of Menea in front of so many generals and officials, it will increase her prestige." Hilde turned around and gently stroked the long horns on Sophia's head. "Sophia, you have to know that Dione is the future heir to the empire. It's meaningless for you to protect her like this."
"No, it just won't work."
Sophia was very firm in her attitude towards this matter.
"At least not now."
"okay."
Hilde sat up, reached out her hand, and gently pressed Sophia onto the bed.
"Sophia."
"What, what's wrong?"
Sophia felt a little shy when she was suddenly pressed down by Hilde.
"Now, we have come to this point. Today, after talking with Archidamus, I feel this even more. The enemies of the past are now bowing their heads to apologize to me, and the gods have been forced to the last 'pure land' by us, but Sicily is difficult to resist our attack. After taking Sicily, we will become the overlord of the Mediterranean, an empire with a population of nearly 10 million and a vast territory. By that time, the only ones in front of us will be the Persians..."
"Well, it's not easy."
Sophia was ridden by Hilde.
She couldn't get up, so she could only put her hand on Hilde's thigh.
"Sissi, are you tired?"
“…A little bit.”
Hilde gave a helpless smile.
“But it’s much better than before.”
"I see."
Sophia smiled and nodded: "Then... I'll let you relax for a while."
“…Okay.”
This is the tacit understanding between Sophia and Hilde.
When Sophia said this, Hilde knew what was going to happen next. Of course, Hilde didn't hate this kind of service. Although the pressure of the past year made Hilde rarely have physical relations with people around her, but... this is not a bad thing. Using ** to relieve stress is indeed a good choice. Occasionally, choosing to be passive is also good.
When Sophia buried her head in Hilde's **.
Hilde couldn't help but close her eyes.
But what emerged in my mind was an indescribable shadow.
------------
"Ha ha……"
Hilde was breathing heavily, her face flushed.
And Sophia was like a docile cat, lying in Hilde's arms.
The horns on her head were a little too hard, but Hilde didn't hate them. On the contrary, they told Hilde that Sophia was just like herself.
The afterglow of the climax has not yet ended.
Hilde felt his lower body was numb and sore, but he didn't feel much better.
The tragic death of the high priest still had a great impact on Hilde. When Hilde thought that there might be something that was monitoring her life, she felt a deep resistance and disgust. Of course, Hilde did not want this unfounded speculation to ruin her life experience, but... no matter how hard she tried to forget, Hilde could not get rid of these things in her mind. Even if Sophia tried hard to make herself reach the clouds again and again, after the end, the discomfort still existed.
How annoying...
Hilde covered her eyes with her left hand.
"Sissi."
"Ok?"
"You don't seem to be very engaged."
"...How is that possible? You've licked me to pieces several times." Hilde said with a wry smile.
"Don't lie to me. Don't I know your body? I spent a long time before you got a little wet." Sophia raised her head and looked at Hilde with some resentment. "If you're not feeling well, just tell me directly."
"sorry."
"It's alright..."
Hilde looked at Sophia and seemed a little upset.
She reached out and gently held Sophia in her arms.
"I am okay."
"Didn't I tell you that if you feel uncomfortable, you can rely on me."
"You have become my support."
Hilde hugged Sophia so tightly that she could not speak or breathe without feeling some resistance. She wanted to say more, but after feeling the involuntary hug, Sophia swallowed her words. Then, she reached out her hand and gently stroked Hilde's smooth back, saying helplessly, "Well, I will always be with you."
"Go to sleep first."
"I am not sleepy……"
"What a coincidence! I'm not sleepy either."
"You couldn't sleep the whole time, didn't you?" Sophia sat up and looked at Hilde's indescribably beautiful body. Thinking of how this body was trembling so violently because of her, Sophia's face turned even redder. "Oh, really, today is a day worth being happy about."
"Sophia?"
"Huh? Ah——!"
Sophia didn't have time to react and was pounced on by Hilde.
Hilde stuck her head out and smiled faintly.
"Now, it's time for me to repay you for what you did just now."
“No, no, I…”
Obviously, Sophia's protests were useless.
An hour later.
Sophia had fallen asleep on the bed like a child. Hilde gently covered Sophia with the animal blanket and kissed her cheek. She only put on a thin robe and left the room.
Chapter 10: A unique battle
This way, Sophia should be able to get a good night's sleep.
And it's time for me to go talk to Xerxes.
Thinking of this, Hilde turned and walked towards Xerxes' room.
----------
"Why did you come to me when you were not staying in the house with Sophia?"
Xerxes looked at Hilde in front of him with a smile and raised the wine glass in his hand.
"It's rare that you have such a refined mood under the flowers and moon."
"Stop teasing me."
The dim light from the flickering candlelight illuminated the room. Xerxes, shrouded in this hazy halo, had a different kind of beauty. Her wheat-colored skin exuded a soft glow, making people want to reach out and touch it gently. She lay on the bed sideways, holding a wine glass in one hand, showing her flawless figure perfectly in front of Hilde, which was really hard to look away. At this time, Xerxes really deserved to be a famous beauty in Persia. She was really too beautiful.
Hilde looked a little dazed.
After all, I just finished talking to Sophia, and I’m still a little dazed.
"what happened?"
Xerxes noticed Hilde's gaze.
She even moved her legs to a more seductive position.
"Didn't you just do it with Sophia?"
"Ah? You know?"
"Sophia has a really loud voice."
"Is that so? I didn't pay much attention."
Hilde smiled helplessly.
Xerxes also knew that Hilde's visit to him was definitely not for such a physical matter. Although Xerxes didn't mind, but... looking at Hilde holding the wine glass with a sad look on her face, Xerxes knew that Hilde must have encountered something that troubled him. So, Xerxes smiled and said, "My Majesty Basilius, I finally mustered up the courage. What happened to make you so headache now? Could it be something related to the priest?"
"It's related to that, but..."
Hilde hesitated for a moment.
In the end, he shook his head and denied it.
"But it has little to do with that."
"Oh? Really?"
"In fact, although I am indeed worried about being taken advantage of by others, it is unnecessary to worry about this now. This problem is far less difficult than the hero in Sicily. After all, that is the problem I need to find a way to solve in a short period of time." Hilde sighed, "Also, let's go back to the problem I was thinking about before I set out, which is the problem of the Carthaginians."
"Carthaginians?"
Xerxes sat up a little straighter.
She became more serious.
"Do you really want to meet them?"
“Yes, I think we should do this.”
"Right now, the army has entered Actium and is ready to go. If we send an envoy to Carthage at this time, it may delay a lot of time. Even if we get the support of the Carthaginians and really form an alliance, it is estimated that this battle will have to be delayed until next year."
Perhaps feeling that what he said was not very nice, Xerxes quickly changed his words.
"Of course, that's something for you to decide, I'm just making a suggestion."
"I have considered it."
"So what's your decision?"
“I plan to do both.”
