"Oh, excuse me."
Hilde backed away slowly.
No, it's too hot for the eyes. It's too hot for the eyes.
"Your Majesty, we are just warming up!"
"If you dare to come near me, I will cut off that thing that is exposed outside of you."
Amyntas was now completely naked, not even wearing underwear. Fortunately, Hilde had more than 20 years of experience as a man, so he didn't care about it. If this was really a 15-year-old girl, she would have drawn her dagger right now and bleed profusely. So, Hilde looked around and continued, "Really... This is someone else's territory. You are wrestling here with your bare buttocks. If the Scythians saw us, wouldn't they laugh at us?"
"Your Majesty, please don't worry about this."
Amyntas covered his lower body and said:
"Half of these people are Scythians."
"..."
Hilde glanced around.
There are indeed quite a few people I don’t know.
Then, it's all **.
"Well, you guys continue your friendly conversation. I'm going to go find Sophia."
Hilde thought that he should just leave the matter alone.
When Hilde left the tent, she sighed helplessly. She still couldn't accept this ancient Greek custom. Especially these soldiers, they always believed that the collision of muscles was the deepest communication of the soul. Hilde had no doubt that sooner or later these muscular brothers would collide with each other and spark love. In the end, the collision of muscles turned into the collision of buttocks. When Hilde thought of this, she felt numb in her heart.
Forget it, it’s the soldiers’ personal problems.
It's not easy for Hilde to make decisions.
So she hurried to another tent.
This tent is where Sophia and Dioni live.
When Hilde walked in, she found Sophia sitting on the blanket, with Dione lying on her lap. It seemed that neither of them had intended to sleep at first, but Dione was young after all, and her body couldn't hold on any longer, so she fell asleep directly on Sophia's lap. Sophia was also drowsy now, and even when Hilde entered the room, she didn't notice anything wrong.
At this time, Hilde quietly walked to Sophia's side.
She sat down slowly and looked at Sophia quietly.
"..."
Sophia should be asleep sitting up now.
Hilde felt as if someone was grabbing her heart and was very uncomfortable, so she reached out her hand and gently touched Sophia's cheek.
The third section of the fifth tune: Sophia is worried again
As if she sensed something, Sophia slowly opened her eyes. When Hilde appeared in her sight, Sophia didn't even react for a moment.
"……you're awake?"
"Sissi...Sissi?"
"Well, it's me."
"Sissi!"
Sophia immediately threw herself into Hilde's arms.
"Wait...Dione is still sleeping on your lap."
"Ah! I-I'm so excited!"
Sophia quickly let go of her hand, and then she found that Diony, who had just been lying on her thighs, had been thrown onto the carpet. However, Diony was sleeping soundly and did not wake up because of this situation. Sophia looked at this scene and couldn't help but smile and said, "Ah, this child is sleeping so soundly. She didn't plan to sleep at first because she was worried about you. But... in the end, she couldn't hold on and fell asleep."
"Aren't you asleep too?"
Hilde reached out and pinched Sophia's face.
"Everyone is trying to show off their abilities."
"I, I wasn't asleep, I just took a nap."
"Yes, yes, you are indeed not asleep."
"Are you really okay?" Sophia nervously held Hilde's hand. "After all, this is the first time you fainted... I, I'm scared."
"How could anything happen to me?"
Hilde gently held Sophia's face.
"I'm sorry for making you worry."
"Y-You don't need to apologize, it's not your fault... woo."
Before Sophia could finish her words, Hilde blocked her mouth with her own lips.
After a while, Hilde withdrew and gently stroked Sophia's hair: "I know you were very worried just now. Fortunately, I woke up now. If I had been unconscious for three days and three nights, wouldn't you be worried? It's okay... You have to believe that even if the sky falls, I can bear it. There is no one in this world who can defeat me, Hilde."
Hilde's words were just to comfort Sophia. She knew very well that although she was stronger than most ordinary people in the power system of this world, she was not strong enough to look down on everything. Even the real Athena was seriously injured by Zeus's lightning. However, Sophia and the others did not need to worry about the threats from the gods and the oracle. They just needed to know that Hilde could always turn danger into safety, and their safety would be borne by Hilde.
Hear what Hilde said.
Sophia lowered her head.
"But……"
"what happened?"
"In this case, Sissi, won't you be very tired? I hope... I hope Sissi can rely on me more. Although I can't do anything and I don't have the ability to fight, I hope I can help Sissi."
"I know your intentions, but you are helping me, aren't you? Your company is the greatest help to me. Sophia, you have to know that not everyone can have someone who can accompany them intimately. I can meet you, and I don't mind telling you everything in my heart. This is the most precious thing. The reason why I want to tell you all this is that I hope you won't be too worried about these things. There is no need."
Hilde completely understood Sophia's thoughts and knew where her worries came from. Therefore, what Hilde could do was to make Sophia realize that she was valuable to Hilde in this regard. After all, Hilde did not want Sophia to fall into a state of inferiority and self-blame because of a series of things that made her feel that she was useless and of no help to Hilde.
"Thank you, Sissi."
Sophia looked at Hilde with gratitude.
"Every time I feel sad, you comfort me like this, and I actually feel a little happier."
"If you can remember what I usually say to you, I won't have to comfort you like this every time. Why don't you use your brain to think about it, if I really feel that you are meaningless to me, would I take you everywhere with me? You just think too much, and many things are actually unnecessary. Just be yourself, as long as nothing happens to you and as long as you can love me wholeheartedly, that will be the best help to me."
"Yes, I understand."
Hilde's words left Sophia with no room for rebuttal.
"Then, I need your help with one more thing."
"Please say."
"You also know that my blood-sucking is not a glorious thing. I have been hiding this fact. For me, this situation is like a curse. It not only has a great impact on me, but also threatens you and other people around me." Hilde sighed, "So I have been looking for a way to get rid of this state, but obviously, I have not found a way to get rid of my blood-sucking curse until now. But today I met someone who can help me solve this matter. Of course, it is only a possibility, because she is not sure whether she can really lift the curse."
"who is that!"
Hearing this, Sophia asked excitedly.
"Who on earth is so powerful?"
"Artemis."
"...Sissi, you are kidding, is this really Artemis?"
"Yes, I'm not kidding you. It's the one in your mind. In fact, after I came here, I met Artemis and told her about my situation. She said that she couldn't find a way to remove the curse from me for the time being, but she would choose to help me study how to solve it. I think if the gods can't solve this matter, then there is basically no hope, so I plan to give it a try, since she is willing to help."
"But……"
At this time, Sophia didn't know what she remembered.
She was originally very happy, but now her mood suddenly became gloomy.
"What's wrong with you?"
"If you don't need to suck blood anymore, then this thing on me is useless? Doesn't that mean my most unique function for Sissi has also disappeared?"
"I... I've told you so many times, don't worry about this kind of mess. Even if I don't need to suck your blood anymore, it will only be a good thing, because you won't have to endure the withdrawal reaction if I don't suck your blood for a long time. My feelings for you will not be erased because of this kind of thing, and if you keep thinking about it like this, don't blame me for being angry. Do you think I'm just a food in your eyes?"
The reaction of seeing the gods for the first time
"I... I've told you so many times, don't worry about this kind of mess. Even if I don't need to suck your blood anymore, it will only be a good thing, because you won't have to endure the withdrawal reaction if I don't suck your blood for a long time. My feelings for you will not be erased because of this kind of thing, and if you keep thinking about it like this, don't blame me for being angry. Do you think I'm just a food in your eyes?"
"I was wrong……"
Sophia quickly admitted her mistake.
She also knew that what she had said and done just now was inappropriate.
"It's okay as long as you admit your mistakes. Okay... come with me now."
"OK……"
Sophia followed Hilde out of the tent and walked towards Artemis. At this time, Tomyris, the princess of the Kingdom of Scythia, was talking to Artemis. Artemis briefly told Tomyris about Hilde's situation, but Artemis did not tell Tomyris some details, especially about the original book of creation and the curse on Hilde.
"So is Hilde actually Athena?"
"Yes, but no."
Artemis shook her head helplessly.
"Think about it. If the person closest to you now has another person's soul living inside her body, would you think she is still the same person?"
"I have no idea……"
"Just like you would be confused by this, and so would I. She is the Athena in front of me. She has the same voice and appearance. It's not a coincidence, because that body belongs to Athena. But the owner of this body is no longer the Athena I know. It has been replaced by a soul called Hilde. So this is what bothers me the most. Is the Hilde in front of me Athena? She is, but she is not. This is the situation, so I still haven't figured out how to face this person in the future."
"I'm really sorry that I can't share your distress with you."
"I don't need you to help me with this kind of thing."
Artemis said with a smile.
"From what I can see now, Hilde is not a bad person. She is a very good king and a very responsible and courageous woman. This is not much different from my impression of Athena. This shows that the person Athena chose before her death was worthy. I also believe that if Athena could still see this situation now, she would definitely be relieved."
"Yes, there are many things I can learn from her. She was able to build a weak kingdom to its current level in just one or two years. This shows that she has powerful abilities that ordinary people don't know. I need to learn from her." Tomyris naturally expressed her studious and humble character, "But I always have a worry."
"You say it."
Artemis looked at Tomyris curiously.
"She is a very capable monarch, but because of this, I am always worried that she will pose a greater threat to us. I still don't know how far her threat to us can spread. If we work together to deal with the King of Thrace, then how should we manage the territory controlled by the King of Thrace? How can we ensure that there will be no conflicts between us and the Byzantine Kingdom? This will be a very difficult problem. At the same time, I also see an unprecedented ambition in her. This is a very dangerous signal. I am afraid that she will lead her troops to attack our Kingdom of Scythia."
"If this really happens, then she will be more terrible than the King of Thrace."
"Indeed."
On this point, the two of them were highly consistent in their opinions.
Although the two did not know that Hilde was the queen of the Byzantine Kingdom at the beginning, they were both very aware of the existence of the Byzantine Kingdom. Through those merchants and the envoys they had contacted some time ago, they learned that the Byzantine Kingdom had grown from a population of more than 10,000 two years ago to more than 300,000 people. And it once completely annihilated an enemy force twice its size with an army of 11,000 people.
Whether it is tactical command, national strength or the combat capability of the troops, the Byzantine Kingdom is obviously a more terrifying existence than the Thracian King. Although there is no actual territorial border between the Byzantine Kingdom and the Kingdom of Scythia, this can only last until the Thracian King is defeated. Once the Thracian King standing between the two countries disappears, the contradictions between the two countries will be exposed to the greatest extent.
"Let's not discuss this issue now."
Artemis thought for a moment, then said to Tomyris.
"You are allies now, after all."
"Yes."
Tomyris was also very obedient.
She once again put her worries in her heart.
"I hope that no war will break out between the Byzantine Kingdom and the Scythian Kingdom. Don't worry, just leave this matter to me. Hilde is a reasonable person, and I will talk to her properly."
"Um……"
Tomyris agreed verbally.
But I felt a little strange.
She felt that Artemis was a little too naive in this matter. Sometimes even gods could not stop the strategies and wars between countries. The root of everything lies in the interests of the country... Tomyris had assisted her father in managing the country for a long time, and she was very clear about all this, but after all, it was what Artemis said, so Tomyris naturally did not dare to refute it directly.
And at this time.
Hilde brought Sophia to the tent.
"I am coming."
