A few hours later.
Hilde sat naked on the bed in the basement, while Xerxes lay quietly beside Hilde's thighs like a lazy kitten, with his head gently resting on Hilde's thighs. Hilde stroked Xerxes' hair and said with a smile: "You were not like this when you were a child, why are you like this now..."
"You want to know why?"
Xerxes slowly raised his head.
She smiled at Hilde.
Then he slowly moved his body downwards.
"Because I am the emperor of the Persian Empire and also a demigod. I have unparalleled power and status, and no one dares to resist me. But... so what? I am tired of conquering others, because I don't even need to try too hard to make a person kneel on the ground. I can also take a person's life at will, just like crushing an ant. This kind of thing is too easy for me."
"Indeed, for you, this kind of thing is as easy as breathing."
"It's so easy to conquer others, but what about being conquered by others? This kind of thing is not so easy."
Xerxes gently lifted Hilde's jade feet and pressed his entire face against them, as if he was feeling some precious treasure. Through the dim candlelight, Hilde could see her own jade-white feet, which formed a sharp contrast with Xerxes' wheat-colored skin. Such a comparison was really a bit strange. At this time, Xerxes continued:
"But who can conquer someone like me? I'm afraid there is no one in this world who is stronger than me. And there is still no one in this world who is stronger than me. The others are all independent and fighting against each other. The Greeks are a bit interesting, but there are too many forces and it is impossible to concentrate them. What's more, I'm afraid there is really no one who can conquer me from a personal perspective. What I need is such a person..."
"So you picked me?"
Hilde asked curiously.
"So...I was just chosen by you?"
"That's how it should be."
Hearing this, Hilde suddenly felt angry. She felt like she had been completely played by Xerxes. She was just a substitute that Xerxes had found to vent his desires. At this time, Xerxes was licking Hilde's feet with an intoxicated look on his face.
"Ok!"
Hilde stood up and stepped Xerxes directly onto the bed.
"In the end, you just treated me as a toy?"
“…This is really great!”
"Don't you like it?!"
Hilde increased his strength.
If it were a normal person, it would probably be very painful now.
But for Xerxes, this was just fine.
The clean little feet were stepping on the Persian emperor's face, and they were still crushing it. But Xerxes didn't seem angry at all. Instead, she blushed and said excitedly, "You are so great... But please listen to me. I am not saying that I treat you as a toy. When we first met, I remembered you in my heart. At that time... I have always liked you until now."
The Fifth Tune, Section 1: Desperate Goal
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Why would I lie to you about this?"
"…But you."
"I do like to be conquered, but not everyone can do that. I like you. If it weren't for the previous coincidence, I might choose to conquer you and keep you by my side. At that time, the person being stepped on the ground will not be me, but you." Xerxes did not struggle. When she felt the strength on Hilde's feet weaken, she smiled and said, "But I found that you have unlimited possibilities. You are an oracle and a wise monarch. You... have a chance to grow into someone who can completely conquer me. So, I want to train you to be someone who can completely conquer me. This is my goal."
"……All right."
Hilde moved her foot away.
"I misunderstood you."
"…Are you not going to continue?"
"I'm not in the mood right now."
To be honest, Hilde's feelings about being trained as such a person were really complicated, and she didn't know what to say. Although she knew that Xerxes was not just treating her as a toy as she thought at the beginning, Xerxes was indeed training Hilde according to his own desires, and this feeling was really disgusting.
Xerxes also noticed that Hilde seemed a little angry, so she quickly stood up and wrapped herself around Hilde like a snake. She whispered in Hilde's ear in a very seductive tone, "Don't be angry... Otherwise, let me serve you."
"no need."
Hilde turned around and looked at Xerxes.
"Let me ask you a question."
"Go ahead."
"I understand that you want to train me to be someone who can conquer you, but the way two people get along is one thing, and the way countries get along is another. Since the establishment of our Byzantine Kingdom, the resources and help you have provided are enormous, but I don't know what you can get from this situation. As the emperor of the Persian Empire, you must consider the interests of the Persian Empire. Aren't you afraid that my Byzantine Kingdom will threaten the Persians at some point in the future?"
"You may not fully understand what I just said."
Xerxes continued:
"I said that the reason why I can easily conquer others is that on the one hand, I have a very powerful half, and on the other hand, I am the emperor of the Persian Empire, and the Persian Empire is the most powerful country in the world. So I chose you, not only because you can be the one who conquers me in terms of strength, but also because you can be the one who can completely conquer the Persian Empire. I want to help you make your Byzantine Kingdom the most powerful country in the West, and then I want you to conquer our Persian Empire. I want you to annex the entire Persian Empire and treat me, the Persian emperor, as a slave you raise. Only in this way can you conquer me in all aspects."
Hearing Xerxes say this.
Hilde couldn't help but gasp.
This woman is so scary.
She can even say this...
Hilde really didn't expect Xerxes to be so selfish and put the whole country aside. She calmed herself down for a while, then said to Xerxes, "Are you kidding me? This is not funny. You said you want to make the Byzantine Empire stronger and conquer the Persian Empire? Are you crazy?"
"Whether I am crazy or not, I know it in my heart, and I don't need others to judge. But I can tell you that..." Xerxes stretched out his hand and gently held Hilde's face, "You have no reason to refuse. If you plan to refuse, then I will have to conquer you. I have complicated tastes. Although I always like the feeling of being stepped on by you, if it's the other way around, I would also be happy. I think you don't want to become that kind of person, right?"
"…You are threatening me."
"That's not right."
Xerxes gently moved his hand from Hilde's face to her chest.
"I'm asking you to do something that's good for you. How can this be considered a threat to you? Don't you want the Byzantine Empire to become stronger? Don't you want to become even stronger? In fact, you do. If you think about the Persians, then you're really thinking too much. If you can really turn the Byzantine Kingdom into a country that can completely defeat the Persian Empire, then I believe that the Persians under your rule will definitely live better than they do now."
"...Don't talk about this kind of thing."
Attack the Persian Empire???
This woman is really crazy!
Although Hilde now has nearly 6 troops, these 6 troops are all the forces that Hilde can use. Moreover, this is based on the relatively high agricultural production and overall productivity of the Byzantine Kingdom, which is why there are so many troops to use. After all, the Byzantine Kingdom has a total population of less than 80.
And what is the concept of the Persian Empire?
A full population of 2000 million!
Even if we don't use Hilde's mobilization efficiency, the Persian Empire's standing force is at least 50, and the country is vast, with superior weapons and equipment, not to mention the Persian emperor, the strongest demigod in the world. All these things together make conquering the Persian Empire a fantasy, and if Hilde really wants to develop his Byzantine Kingdom to the point where he can go head-to-head with the Persian Empire, it really takes a long time.
I saw Hilde looked a little helpless.
Xerxes did not continue.
However, just as Xerxes said, this matter has only benefits for Hilde, and almost no harm, so Hilde actually has no need to worry so much, and does not need to care too much about this matter. However, this is also one of the reasons why Xerxes likes Hilde the most. Although Hilde is usually very shrewd, and her words and deeds always reveal a feeling that is hard to understand, she has always had a sense of justice in her heart, and this sense of justice has persisted since she was a child.
So, Xerxes smiled and said:
"Do you know why I never cared about Sophia?"
"……do not know."
"Because, your passionate and exclusive love for Sophia is my favorite thing about you anyway."
The second section of the fifth tune has some sad situations
"If that's the case, your taste is indeed somewhat unique. After all, everyone wants to monopolize the person they like, and they won't casually share their favorite person with others."
"But you have to know that I am someone who wants to be conquered. A person who can conquer me can probably conquer everyone in the world. So it is completely reasonable for such a powerful person to have many women. Ah, but you can conquer men, too. But I remember that you don't seem to like men."
"nonsense."
Hilde rolled her eyes at him.
"If I like men, what about us?"
"That's right, I feel relieved then."
"So what about you?" Hilde asked curiously, "Didn't you say you can easily conquer others? So have you ever conquered a man before?"
"Don't worry... I have never been touched by anyone, including other women and men. Although it is called conquest, I usually just let them kneel at my feet and kiss my feet at most to show their submission. Other than that, I won't do anything else."
"……Yeah."
Hilde acted as if she didn't care.
But Xerxes noticed something.
"So... you are jealous?"
"How could I be jealous? Our relationship isn't at a point where we need to be jealous."
"Ah... This cold feeling is really great."
Seeing Xerxes' affectionate expression, Hilde didn't know what to say. However, today he understood what Xerxes was thinking. This woman might be crazier than he thought. She was not just a masochist, but also a fanatic who could sacrifice her entire country. But Hilde felt that Xerxes was not a stupid person. He probably had his own considerations when making such a decision. So, this matter...
Maybe it's not what you think.
That's not what he said.
Hilde gradually began to feel whether Xerxes was hiding something.
He wanted to ask, but when he thought that Xerxes himself was unwilling to say it, he gave up. After all, it was Xerxes's own business. So, after lying in the basement for a while, Hilde and Xerxes put on their clothes and went back upstairs.
When Hilde came to the ground, she found that it was almost dark and it was time for dinner. Hilde also felt a little emotional. She had wasted a long time down there. At this time, Hilde knew that Sophia must be worried, after all, she had been missing for such a long time.
"Go find Sophia first."
"I'll go as well."
Xerxes grabbed Hilde's hand.
Hilde thought about it and thought that Sophia might not be wearing a hood. If Xerxes saw the horns on Sophia's head, who knows what problems would arise. So Hilde said, "Why don't you wait for me in the hall first? I'll bring Sophia over after I find her."
"No no, I want to go with you!"
"Xiao Xuexue..."
"Sometimes, you have to be willful once in a while."
"Okay, okay..."
Under Xerxes's constant persuasion, Hilde had no choice but to bite the bullet and take Xerxes to find Sofia. Fortunately, Sofia was not in her room, but outside, so she also obediently put on her hood. When Xerxes saw the hood on Sofia, he was also stunned:
“Is this the fabric I gave you?”
"Well, that's right."
"And you made a cape out of it?"
"Well, that's right."
"what do you think?"
Xerxes was really shocked. You know, this purple cloth is probably worth several times more than the palace. It is even out of stock in Persia. After all, no one dares to buy this kind of cloth. Hilde actually gave it to Sophia as a cloak and hood? Hilde said indifferently: "In my eyes, no matter what color the cloth is, it is still cloth. Anyway, it is to be worn by people. Why care so much?"
"..."
In this case, it seems that there is really no way to refute it.
Hilde is right.
Even if it is purple cloth, it is just cloth.
If you don't wear it, what should you do with it?
However, when Xerxes saw his precious purple cloth being taken by Hilde and made into a cloak and hood to give to another woman, he suddenly felt a little lost. Although he knew that he had been clinging to Hilde and did not expect Hilde to love him sincerely, when he saw this scene with his own eyes, Xerxes still felt a little lost and uncomfortable.
This was the first time Xerxes had such a feeling.
Hilde saw it out of the corner of her eye.
Noticing Xerxes' gaze.
He seemed to have noticed something, and after thinking about it carefully, the first thing that came to his mind was that Xerxes might be upset because he gave Sophia the things he gave to him. Although he felt that this possibility was not very high, it could not be completely ruled out, so Hilde could only say: "Actually, there is a reason for this. Sophia was injured, so she could only wear a hood to cover the wound, and I didn't have any cloth on hand at the time, so I had to... use this cloth."
"injured?"
Xerxes looked at Sophia curiously as she walked in.
When Sophia came over.
