"Sala, the maid sent by the princess Tajiman has brought us the precious Dipu Blue Fruit." Kutsaya picked up the delicate Ilo porcelain plate and brought it to Asana's side and said, "Would you like to eat one now?" ”

Asana smiled, and she picked up a blue fruit and put it in her mouth, but she picked up another one from the porcelain plate without chewing first. She fed it to Kutthea's mouth.

Kutsaya looked at Asana and smiled, casually put the porcelain plate on the bed, she approached Asana and asked, "Sala, your Dimi is quite fast, today I heard you talking to the maids in those palaces in Dimi." ”

"Really?" Lying on her side on a satin velvet cushion, Asana pulled her hair to the side, looked sideways at Kutsya and asked, "Do you hear what we're talking about?" ”

Kutsya nodded, "Sala, they speak so fast that I barely understand. But I understood most of what you said to them. ”

"Oh?" Asana asked Kutsya, "Tell me, what am I talking about?" ”

"You're asking those maids about the prince, aren't you?" Kutsaya asked.

"Yes. But Sakhedah had four sons, and did you hear me ask them which prince it was? Asana asked with a soft smile.

"Of course it's his eldest son, Safarzadeh." "I still know him. ”

"You've heard of him?"

"Of course, Sala." Kutseea took out another Dipu Blue Fruit from the porcelain plate, put it in her mouth, and then said with a slight meaning, "I have been trying to learn Dimi too." Sometimes, I try to ask the maids about something. ”

Asana smiled, "Do you know what Safarzadeh is up to now?" ”

Kutthea shook her head, "I don't know about that. I just knew that Tahiman was his mother, and that Sah-dah loved the eldest of his four sons, Safarzad. However, of his seven imperial concubines, Sahedah is the most fond of you. ”

Asana smiled lightly, "When did Kutsaya learn to flatter too?" ”

"There is no flattery, I am telling the truth." Kutthea said with a smile.

"Well... What you just said is true. Sahedah was indeed the one who loved his eldest son the most. But did you know that Prince Safarzadeh is now leading Dimi's most powerful army, the army called the Holy Fire Army, to Chanla? Asana said.

"Prince, has he gone on a campaign?" Kutsea shook her head and said, "I really don't know about this. Sala, Prince Safarzad led his army to Chanla, does that mean that Dimi is now going to invade Chanla? ”

"It's not an invasion, Kutsaia, it's more like strife." Asana said.

"What does that mean?"

"The new king of Chanra, the King of Fearlessness, who fashioned Asura into an evil demon god in order to promote Chanraism, ordered the persecution and expulsion of a large number of people who believed in the Holy Fire Cult in Chanra. This caused Sahdah to be extremely dissatisfied, and he sent Prince Safarzad to lead the Sacred Fire Army to fight against Chanla, and to put pressure on the King of Chanla's Carelessness to ask for his guilt. ”

"That King of Jana admires the Jana Sect, so why does he persecute the people who believe in the Holy Fire Sect?" Kutseea asked, puzzled.

"Because of the King of Fearlessness, he wants to enforce the religion of Chanla throughout Chanla, and he wants to use it as a means and instrument for him to unite the various states of Chanla. As for the people of Zhanluo, who believed in the Holy Fire Cult, it was his obstacle to the promotion of a unified religion. Therefore, those who were unwilling to renounce their original faith were persecuted and expelled. Asana said.

"Oh... I see. "So, Sala, the prince of Safarzad you are talking about, and he is actually going with the Flame Army to complain about the persecuted Flame cultists?" ”

"In some ways, it may be." Asana said, "However, from the point of view of the Dimi court, Sahedah's intention to hand over the military power of the Holy Fire Army to Safarzad this time is also intended to train him to become his successor. If Safarzad achieves another major victory, then Prince Safarzad's prestige in the whole of Dimi will become very high. ”

"Oh...," Kutseea whispered after a moment's thought, "But, Sarah, in that case... Does it mean that after a long time, if this Sah-dah dies, then the name of Sah-dah will most likely be inherited by Safarzad? ”

Lying on her side of the bed with a pillow in her hand, Asana looked at the blue sky outside the window on one side of the dormitory and said, "Yes, that's right." ”

"Sarah.... If that's the case.. We—" Looking at Asana's slightly melancholy expression, Kutsea turned to say, "In that case... We're okay, at least her mother, Princess Tahiman, is good to us. ”

"You know, that's not what I want, Kutsaia." Asana said gloomily, "If one day the current Sahedah dies, we will also be left with nothing. ”

"Sala...."Kutsaya also asked worriedly, "Sala, why aren't you pregnant yet..."

Asana was silent, and she sat up from the bed. He was about to go get another Dip Blue Fruit, but the moment the tip of her finger touched the Dip Blue Fruit, she retracted her finger as if it had been burned by fire.

Looking at Diplango, Asana was stunned and said, "Kutsaya, you say... Will this Dipu Blue Fruit cause infertility? Or miscarriage? ”

"Huh?" Kutsaia looked at Dipu Languo in surprise, then turned to Asana, her eyes widened and she hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sala, won't you?" Do you mean to say that Tahiman is the one who wants to hurt you? ”

"I'm not sure, Kutsea. I'm just skeptical. Asana looked at Diprango and said slowly, "I always feel like I should be mindful everywhere. ”

"Sara, if this Dip Blue Fruit causes infertility or miscarriage, I don't think Tajiman will send it to you so blatantly, right?" "If Sahedah had known about this, she would have been in serious trouble." ”

"Kutsea, Tajiman's family is a great nobleman of Dimi, and his son still holds the power of the Holy Fire Army." Asana hung her head and said, "If she really wants to deal with me as an outsider, I really don't know how to deal with it." ”

"Sala," Kutsaya stepped forward and hugged Asana and whispered, "Don't be afraid, Sara, Kutsea will always be with you. ”

Asana smiled lightly, holding Kutthea's face in both hands and said, "Kutsea, you're sixteen years old this year, aren't you?" ”

Kutthea nodded.

"Actually, sometimes I think that after we came out of Hesa, you should have stayed with Sohrabian on Mount Miro." Asana said.

Kutsaya was surprised and asked, "Sala, why do you think so, I don't want to stay in Miro Mountain, I want to be with Sala." ”

"Haven't you always liked Sohrabyan?" Asana smiled and said, "I think he likes you a lot, too." ”

"No, Sala. I like him a little, but I still like you the most. Kutseya took Asana's hand and said, "Sala, to be honest, I was a little scared last time you asked Sohrabian to help us. ”

"So what's there to be afraid of?" Asana asked her.

"I'm afraid you'll let me marry him." Kutsaya puffed her cheeks slightly, looked at Asana and said.

Asana smiled and stroked Kutthea's black hair and said, "When the girl is older, she should find someone to marry, Kutsea, you can't always be by my side." ”

"By the way, Sara, let's go down to Chatrang, shall we?" Kutsaya was silent for a moment before suddenly smiling and saying, "I learned how to play chatrang from that old maid these days. ”

"Chatland?" Asana asked Kutsya, "How did you learn that move?" I saw Sahedah and a minister spend the whole afternoon in the palace garden. ”

"Even Sahedah is playing?" Kutsaia asked in surprise.

"Yes, for some reason, this chess game is very popular in Dimi, and people love to play it." Asana then asked, "Kutsaya, do you know what this word chatranga means in Dimi?" ”

"Sala, I don't quite understand either. However, the maid who taught me how to play chess told me that Chatrang's chess was actually brought by the Holy Fire cult in Chanla. I guess it's just a transliteration of the Chana language. Kutsea said.

"Oh, that's right." Asana said.

"Sala, don't think about what it means, let's play chess." Kutsaia said.

"But I don't know how to play this chess." Asana said.

"I can teach you, it's really fun. It's very interesting. Kutsea said.

"Really?" Asana smiled and said, "Then you can go and teach me how to play chess." ”

"Okay." As she spoke, Kutsaya excitedly rolled over and got out of bed to get the chatrang chess.

When Kutsya brought the chessboard and laid it out on the bed, Asana saw that the chessboard and the pieces that Kutsya had brought were not exactly the same as the ones she had seen Sahedah in the garden that day. So she picked up a chess piece and asked Kutthea, "Kutseya, this chessboard and chess pieces you brought seem to be a little different from the one played by Sahedah?" ”

"No, that's how it works." Kutsea thought for a moment and asked, "Sala, what do you see Sahedach looking like?" ”

"The chessboard he played is a bit similar to the one you brought, with so many black and white squares. But the chess pieces on his chessboard are either soldiers with weapons or cavalry on war horses, unlike the one you brought, which are all round and small porcelain pillars. ”

Kutseya covered her mouth and smiled, "Sala, in fact, the meaning of the chess pieces is the same. It's just that the chess pieces of Sahedach must have been made very exquisitely and delicately, and the one I took from the maid simplified the shape of the chess pieces. ”

"Oh." Asana looked at Kutthea's chess pieces, and she picked up a round figure from them and asked Kutsya, "Kutsaia, what does this chess piece represent?" ”

"That's the Prime Minister, Sara." Kutsaia said.

"What about this?" Asana asked, picking up a round armor sergeant.

"Oh, Sara, this one you're holding is the King's Guard."

"The King's Guard?" Asana looked curiously at the chessboard and asked, "Then the one next to him is the king?" ”

"Yes, Sarah, that's the king." Kutthea said, pointing to a piece on the board.

"And where is the queen?" Asana asked.

"There's no queen in chess, Sara," Kutsya said, looking up at Asana.

"Okay." Asana pursed her lips lightly and said, "Actually, I don't think there should be a guard standing next to the king, but a queen." ”
