"I know that my uncle will marry you to the fourth son of Leviciel of the Sotek Dynasty in a year. He should be... Imotek? Well, I heard that he is a very heroic and intelligent nobleman. He has made many achievements on the battlefield at a young age. At least it is better than "Daigua" Zandrak. You should be glad that it was not this father who initiated a marriage request to his uncle. The Jidlin family is an extremely prominent family of the Emperor's family in the Sotek Dynasty. If they initiate a marriage, my uncle would not refuse."
"cousin!"
Lana sat up directly, but before she could straighten her waist, the other party pressed her shoulders down.
"Don't move around, it's very dangerous. It may tear off your beautiful skin directly... Everyone praises you as the most beautiful princess in the dynasty. Many princes and princes will launch a duel for you. If you have any damage, I can't explain it to my uncle and aunt."
The young princess who was pushed back into the liquid stared at her cousin, trying to say something but couldn't speak, so she could only wait for the other party to finish the process.
"I know you want to be a 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 parents have many children and don't need me to perform any political tasks, so I can have such a choice... Now is a chaotic era of great reshuffle. The dynasty is either united or warned. The stronger the strong, the weaker the weak. The Sotec dynasty is now strong, and even the Three Saints Council needs to make them three points. The dynasty is very irresistible with Menak. Our emperor, that is, your uncle, now needs the support from Sotec. You also need the size of the uncle. He is Visier after all, and needs to solve his problems for his monarch and parents."
Lana was just silent until after the cleaning, the liquid slowly discharged from the equipment. She walked out silently, wiped herself dry with a towel, then put on a robe, and walked out without saying a word.
Seeing her like this, Hotp shook his head helplessly and followed him out.
At this time, Lana had already sat at her desk, lowering her head slightly, and when the other party walked behind her, she whispered:
"Cousin, it was my mother who asked you to persuade me, right?"
Hotp gently put his hand on the other party's left shoulder.
"No, because I haven't finished speaking."
As she said that, her other hand tricked and added a calculation board built with several black stone slabs, and then placed it gently on the table.
"If you really firmly think about it, then go ahead and go ahead. No matter whether this marriage will really happen, as long as you firmly keep it yourself, your father or your husband will not change you."
"cousin..."
Lana held the slab and turned around and looked at Hotep in emotion. The other party's slightly ugly face squeezed out 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 to ourselves and infinite knowledge."
"Um!"
"Now, let's eat something first. I heard from my aunt that you didn't eat anything yesterday."
The two soon arrived outside the huge balcony of the spacious bedroom, where there was a gilded round table and two stools wrapped in precious fabrics. Then the door of the room opened and groups of female servants walked in. They were wearing simple plain robes, each holding a metal plate in his hand, with uniquely shaped foods for the deceased. Each one was extremely delicate but very small in size, only a small mouthful, and a kettle full of drinks and a crystal cup.
The two female nobles also had a very elegant meal. They only ate a little bit of everything, and then the maids took the plates away. Hundreds of maids meant hundreds of delicacies.
When a servant filled her crystal cup with scarlet drinks, Lana noticed that part of the maid's left face had been covered by the lesion of spongy tissue. The maid was the one who accompanied Lana since she was a child and was the oldest among all maids, but in fact, it should not be over thirty years old. This made Lana shiver. Although she was young now, she had been hinted that her death would come to her door one day.
Outside the balcony, a rising sun is slowly rising, and on this balcony located on the high-rise of the towering and magnificent Royal Pyramid, you can overlook the entire capital of the Mupekta dynasty.
The entire capital is built in a concentric circle with the Royal Pyramid as the center. There are five smaller pyramids around it, representing the side families of the French Royal Family. The outer edge is surrounded by an ecological garden maintained by superb technology. It is like a silent moat. Next to the garden, the tombstones of our ancestors stand shoulder to shoulder, like stone whistles guarding both sides of the throne. The tombstones of these ancestors are extremely huge, reflecting the unique belief and worship of death of the deceased.
In the middle of the city, there are the territory and mansions of the nobles. Their buildings are equally magnificent, but they are never allowed to exceed the Royal Pyramid. When they reach the edge of the city, there are countless inconspicuous small land bundles. The fear of the deceased is a society with distinct classes and strict barriers. The nobles have absolute dominance over the common people, and the law is limited to disputes within the aristocrats.
While the two were having a meal and chatting, Lana suddenly sighed:
"Now the civil wars of various dynasties are becoming more and more intense, and the wrong war initiated by the Three Saints Council is pushing us all into desperate situations. Cousin, do you say... do we still have hope?"
Hearing this, Hotp put down his cup and looked up at the scarlet giant sun.
"I don't know either... those ancient enemies are too powerful, their technology...unbelievable, maybe this war was indeed too hasty from the beginning."
"Hurried? I think this is a mistake. My father said that the King of Silence promised... eternal life? An immortal healthy body? At that time, I asked my father if this is true. My father did not answer, but asked me to bring a basin of water to put it in the garden, and then asked me to reach out to fish out the moon reflected in the water. I said, how could this be done? This is a reflection, out of reach. My father sighed that there were too few people who understand this principle."
After hearing this, Hotp was silent for a moment and said softly:
"Lana, don't you want eternal and healthy life?"
"Think about it... Don't talk about eternity, as long as you can no longer be tortured by diseases, I think it's enough to walk your life easily, and eternity... It sounds too far and too far, it's not true, it's like a lie, cousin, where are you?"
Hotep's ugly face moved slightly, then raised his head and looked at the crescent-like aircraft passing by the sky.
