Hilde couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Indeed, Sophia had said before that she knew the Persian emperor.
But now Hilde really couldn't remember when she had seen her.
So Hilde could only smile bitterly and say, "I can't remember."
"Can't remember?"
At this time, Xerxes II's beautiful golden eyes suddenly widened. "This is impossible. Why did you forget me? Obviously, I have never forgotten you! This is too much! Hilde, have you really forgotten me? Although I have changed a lot from the past, but think about it, Xerxes, the name Xerxes!"
"Feel sorry……"
Hilde sighed.
She really couldn't remember anything about that period of time.
However, Hilde still has some impression.
But I just can't find the chance to recall it.
But at this time, Xerxes II had already rushed directly in front of Hilde, she grabbed Hilde's hands, and then said excitedly: "This is impossible... This is absolutely impossible! You just can't remember it temporarily, right! You clearly promised that you would remember me for the rest of your life, and that we would be able to meet again after we grew up! Have you forgotten all of this! You forgot the games we played in front of the Temple of Athena, forgot that I would cry every time I was bullied by you, forgot that you used to play house and play my husband..."
"Wait a moment!"
At this moment, some images seemed to emerge in Hilde's mind.
"You are... Little Xuexue? The crybaby little Xuexue!?"
"Yes!"
"Malacca! Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
(Malaka: Greek swear word)
Hilde pushed Xerxes II away and turned around in annoyance. Before Xerxes II could say anything, Hilde, who had recalled everything, said angrily: "Look at what you have done! Ah! If you said you were Little Xuexue, it would be fine for me to come to see you, but you had to take down Miletus and capture my mother, and even said that if I didn't come over you would kill my mother! Little Xuexue, little Xuexue, you really learned bad things!"
Hilde was so angry that she slapped Xerxes II on the butt.
"ah!"
"I didn't try too hard!"
"But……"
Xerxes II covered his buttocks in fear.
"Actually, it's okay if you hit me as hard as you can, but I'm the emperor, not the little Xue Xue of the past."
"Yes, yes, my emperor! Then tell me, you have done so many things and disrupted my life. Why did you call me here?" Hilde didn't care that the other party was the Persian emperor. After all, after recalling the matter of little Xuexue, Hilde's fear of the Persian emperor had disappeared. After all, in the past when getting along with little Xuexue, Hilde had already understood what kind of person little Xuexue was. Not to mention spanking her, it would be fine even if she was scolded directly.
Moreover, Hilde was really angry.
Who knows who Xerxes II was?
"You have to explain yourself to me today, Malaka!"
"Don't be angry, it's my fault. I was just afraid that you would run away. After thinking about it, this is the best way. Besides, the Milesians have always been enemies of us Persians in trade, causing us huge economic losses. Therefore, conquering Miletus is in the interests of our Persian Empire." At this time, Xerxes II quickly grabbed Hilde's arm and pleaded, "I was wrong. Besides, I have to tell you that I am not the little Xerxes of the past. I am the Persian emperor."
"you……"
Talk and talk.
Although the other person was indeed Xiao Xuexue, the Xiao Xuexue of the past.
But in fact he was also a Persian emperor.
So, Hilde suppressed the anger in his heart, and then forced a smile and said, "Then your dear emperor, what is the matter with calling me here?"
Chapter 6: A Strong-willed Decision
With that said, the topic got on track.
Although Xerxes II acted as if he was somewhat afraid of Hilde.
But in fact, she was the emperor of the Persian Empire after all, and she was an emperor who would do anything to achieve her own goals. In addition, the two had not met for so many years, and Hilde was not sure what Xerxes II had become. Therefore, Hilde could only restrain her attitude to avoid angering Xerxes II. At this time, Xerxes II smiled slightly, walked in front of Hilde, and gently hugged her neck.
"Xixi, don't be angry first."
"Your Majesty, I am not angry."
"First of all, the reason I called you here is very simple, because I want to take you as my concubine."
"So that's how it is... What!?"
Hilde just reacted.
At this time, Xerxes II gently held Hilde's hand and said affectionately: "When I left Athens, I was thinking that I must meet you again. For so many years, I have been thinking about you in my heart... The power struggle in the empire is very serious. I know that if I can't become the emperor of Persia, I will definitely be married to someone else. In this case, I will never have the opportunity to get close to you and get you! But now, I have done it!"
"and many more!"
Hilde quickly pushed Xerxes II away.
"You will take me as your concubine."
"Yes!"
"This is impossible!"
Hilde said quickly:
"You are an emperor and I am a king, this doesn't make sense!"
"I am the Emperor of Persia, and I am the truth of this world!"
"You..." Hilde really had nothing to say to such an arrogant person.
"Xiao Xuexue, I'm also very happy to see you again, but... Alas, some things are impossible. We are both women, and you are the Persian emperor. If you take a woman as your concubine, how will the nobles and ministers of your country view you? Don't you think about it? Really..."
"In the Persian Empire, no one dares to oppose me."
At this time, Xerxes II showed a smile that made people feel a little weird.
It was a smile that really made people feel uncomfortable, as if there was a knife hidden in the smile.
"You may not know how much I paid to become the emperor of Persia... I killed many people. In order to achieve my goal today, I almost killed everyone who dared to stop me, including my brother, my brother's wives, his children, and many princes and ministers who opposed me." At this point, Xerxes' eyes suddenly showed a hint of cruelty. "Only I can save the Persian Empire. Only I, who is blessed by Ahura Mazda, am qualified to become the emperor. Similarly, if I want you, no one can stop me."
"Ahura Mazda..."
As expected, she became a hero too.
Hilde couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
No wonder I always had an indescribable feeling of oppression when I saw her just now. She is completely different from the little Xue Xue before.
Ahura Mazda is the main god of Zoroastrianism, representing fire, light and truth. Therefore, in Xerxes, it may be that the other party can hide his strength, but Hilde really can't see how powerful the other party is, but the golden eyes in the other party's eyes, like the sun, give Hilde a great sense of oppression.
"So, you have no room for refusal."
Xerxes gently opened his arms and said with a smile:
"As long as you are willing to come over, I will give you whatever you want."
"Calm down first."
Hilde sighed.
Sure enough, the other party's intention was very firm.
Of course, Hilde couldn't let the other party lead him by the nose, so he could only proceed within an appropriate range.
So, in order to make the best of a bad situation, Hilde said to Xerxes: "Think about it, if you force me to stay by your side, you can only get my body but not my heart. Do you like me like this? I am by your side every day, but I am always thinking about running away, or I hate you more and more in my heart, and even my eyes are full of hatred when I look at you. Do you really want to see me like this? Is this the result you want?"
"This……"
Xerxes II was visibly shaken.
After all, women are not quite the same as men.
For many men, a forced melon is not sweet, but at least it quenches their thirst.
But women need love, companionship and affection more. Moreover, Xerxes' feelings for Hilde were not those of lust. Therefore, Hilde's words naturally made Xerxes think. So Hilde took advantage of the situation and said, "Besides, as a female emperor, if you really take a concubine, the result will be obvious. Although the ministers may not say anything on the surface, they will definitely think that you are doing something wrong. It will naturally affect your rule."
The relationship between the sixth and seventh chapters of the rapid development
Hilde's words made Xerxes hesitate.
"If you say so..."
"So, I think you can take a compromise approach."
"any solution!?"
"It's like this... I can't be your concubine because I am the king of the Byzantine Empire. I have my people who need my rule. You are the emperor, and you must be very clear about what this sense of responsibility means. However, I know that I don't have the power to refuse you, so I can only beg you. I hope to return to my country and continue to be my king. If you can meet my condition... I will do anything you want me to do."
"……real?"
Hearing this, Xerxes' words began to tremble.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Yes, since I said that, it means I am mentally prepared."
Hilde's words were full of seriousness.
She was also mentally prepared.
Xerxes II was so powerful that Hilde had almost no chance to resist. But at the same time, this was also an opportunity. If she could properly handle her relationship with Xerxes II, she could climb up the Persian Empire. Although this felt like taking advantage of the other party, this kind of exploitation was based on Hilde giving the other party the right to choose many things. To put it bluntly, it was a mutually beneficial thing.
"..."
At this time, Xerxes II turned around.
"I understand what you said."
"What does your Majesty mean?"
"Let's not talk about taking a concubine for now. You are right... You are a bird that yearns for freedom. If you are locked up, it will only make you sad. I don't want to see this. So, I will not take you as a concubine, but from today on, your identity is the king of the Byzantine Kingdom and the governor of Thrace of the Persian Empire. I will give you enough independence and support, but you must be loyal to me. What do you think of this condition?"
"..."
Sure enough, this is still the case.
Xerxes II still hoped that Hilde could be controlled by him.
Therefore, all we can do now is probably to agree to it.
"Yes, I promise."
"That's good, that's good... Then, since you are loyal to me, you are mine." At this time, Xerxes II held Hilde's cheek and moved closer. "I have given you the best conditions, Sissi, no matter what, don't leave me, okay? It took me so many years to find you. If you leave me again, I really can't accept it."
"His Majesty……"
Hilde smiled and said:
"Then I have to return to my country."
"That's right... Since I promised you just now, I won't go back on my word, you can rest assured about that. But if that happens, I'll have to visit you often. Moreover, as the governor of Persia, you must publicly pledge allegiance to the Persian Empire and to me. Can you do that?" At this time, Xerxes II had already transformed into the standard state of being an emperor. As long as he talked about state affairs, Xerxes II was still very clear, so Hilde bowed her head and said:
"I am willing."
"Hahahahaha..."
Xerxes II couldn't help but burst into laughter like a silver bell.
This made Hilde a little confused.
At this time, Xerxes II held Hilde's face and kissed her.
It was a passionate kiss from Xerxes II, and the sudden feeling made Hilde almost unable to stand.
In fact, Hilde has not reacted yet. The main reason is that Hilde really just remembered Xiao Xuexue, but she did not have the same persistent love for Xiao Xuexue as she did now. After all, Hilde had forgotten about him. However, since the other party has shown this attitude, if she does not express anything, it seems that it is not in line with the spirit of reciprocity. So Hilde was no longer polite and directly pressed down Xerxes' shoulders and pushed him to the ground.
The sacred fire above their heads made crackling sounds like firewood as it burned, drowning out the sounds of some of the chirping women. The warm heat also made the skin of the two skin colors feel particularly warm. Although the two people had different feelings, once the fire in their hearts was ignited, it was irreversible.
(The girl is praying)
"So, where is my mother?"
"Aspasia...she's in another house."
On the ground of the temple, Xerxes lay in Hilde's arms and said coquettishly, "Don't worry, what I said before were all harsh words. There is absolutely no problem with Aspasia. I will take care of her according to the standards of a VIP."
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty."
