The maids of the Vulcan Palace bathed Asana early in the morning in preparation for the wedding ceremony in the evening.

The clear water of the spring, known as the "Spring of Pearls", is introduced into the bath through a sink and poured into a beautiful bath carved of white jade, and Asana sits on the edge of the pool, stretching out her feet to test the temperature of the water before slowly dipping herself into the pool.

Four maids came to Asana's side as she stepped into the bath. They gently lifted the spring water with their hands to bathe Asana, and the water slid down like mercury on Asana's soft skin.

When Asana walked out of the bathroom with rose petals and a cashmere blanket painted with holy fire, the maids brought her a red and white wedding dress, as well as rich gold and silver ornaments, and a light veil embroidered with fire patterns.

Sahedah's wedding to Asana began in the evening, and as the sun was setting, Asana arrived at the main entrance of the Vulcan Palace, accompanied by a group of palace maids. Here, she will wait for Sahedah's exit from the palace to greet her.

Standing on the rose red carpet, Asana was a little nervous, and she still didn't know what kind of person Sahedah was.

She didn't know what he looked like, she didn't know his age, she didn't even know what kind of person Sahedah was. Then Asana's biggest concern was not the other party, but herself, and she suddenly had a little worry about whether she was still young enough and whether her appearance could please Sahedah. Although she had been silently saying to herself in her heart that it didn't matter, after all, Sahedah had promised to ensure the safety of her people, but now at this moment, when she was about to meet Dimi's Sahedah, and when she was about to meet her future husband, Asana's heart beat faster and her breath became short.

She looked along the red carpet with flames piercing her feet, and went up the stairs to look at the main hall of the Fire God Palace, which was carved with jade masonry. She saw that this pure white palace had also become light red and pink under the background of the sunset at this moment, like a dream.

At the foot of all the walls of the palace are stone platforms carved with flames, and on the stone platforms are also beautifully crafted braziers. The servants waited by the brazier with torches in their hands, waiting for Sahedah's arrival.

The sky continued to darken, and just as the sun was about to sink behind the mountain, the soft and long sound of Dimy's organ sounded.

Accompanied by the sound of the organ, Sahedah appeared at the main entrance of the Vulcan Palace. Asana looked towards the palace gate, and she saw him, and she saw that he was tall and well-proportioned. His tall body was extremely noble in a silver-gray robe, and many beautiful maids also appeared with him at this moment, lined up on either side of him. Looking at Sahedakh, who was standing on a high place and accompanied by all the maids, Asana only felt as if he had descended from the heavens. With Asana's nervous heartbeat, she saw Sahedah slowly coming towards her, accompanied by a maid with a red banner.

When Sahedah walked down all the stairs in front of the main hall of the Fire God Palace, the sky also became dark and dull. Just as Asana was trying her best to see Sahedah's face in the dim light, all the braziers in the Vulcan Palace were ignited at the same time.

The light emitted by countless braziers at the same time instantly illuminated the entire Fire God Palace, and the dancing flames reflected on the white walls, and the original pure white appearance of the Fire God Palace instantly transformed into a psychedelic pink. The reliefs that were originally inconspicuous on the white walls are now breathtaking under the light and shadow of the brazier, and this scene gives Asana a sense of sacredness.

Watching the buildings of the Fire God Palace change their appearance under the light of the fire, Asana also felt a long-lost emotion. She saw Sahedah's face by the light of the countless braziers. She saw that although he was a little old, he had a handsome face with a very masculine beauty. Watching Saheedah approach him, looking at his starry eyes, Asana's heart suddenly rippled with a trace of soft affection at this moment.

Sahedah looked at Asana's stunning face through the tulle in front of her, and after revealing a stunning gaze, he smiled slightly, and then took Asana's wrist. Asana also slowly walked into the Vulcan Palace with Sahedah in the psychedelic firelight.

When Asana saw Kutsya again, it was the morning of the fifth day after the wedding. While Sahedah was on his way to attend to the business, Asana left Sahedah's dormitory and returned to her place in the palace.

Seeing Asana's return with a happy face, Kutsya immediately greeted her excitedly, she hugged Asana, and asked her happily, "Sala, oh, no, Dimi's Princess Asana, I wonder how you have been doing these days?" I miss you so much. ”

Asana hugged Kutthea, she stroked her hair lightly, and then whispered in her ear, "I'm fine, Kutsya. Thank you for thinking of me. ”

Kutsaya took Asana's hand, and she smiled and continued to ask her, "How are the others of Sahedah?" Is he good to you? ”

"Good." Asana smiled and said, "At least it's better than I thought." ”

"Really? That's great! Kutseya smiled and said, "I saw Noor yesterday, and Sahedakht allowed him to go to the palace and receive the reward before returning to his people." I met him near the palace gate and chatted with him. ”

"yes, what did you talk about?" Asana asked.

"Listen to what Nur told me before he left, Sahedah has rewarded our people with a lot of fabrics, food, cattle and sheep." Kutsaia said.

"Oh, that's what the people need most right now." Asana said with a smile.

"By the way, let me tell you before he leaves, Kai was taken back to the tribe by him. If there's something urgent on the clan's side that needs to be reported to you, he'll let Kai report it to you. Even if he doesn't, he'll let Kai come over later, so you can keep in touch with the tribe. ”

Asana nodded, "I see." ”

"Princess Asana, I have missed you very much these days when you are away." Kutsaya's tone changed, and she said with some sorrow, "I'm a little scared to be here alone. ”

"Don't call me Princess, Kutsaia." Asana said to her tenderly, "You better call me Sala, I like it when you call me that." I've been missing you these days, too. She stroked Kutsaia's hair before continuing, "I will stay here with you as long as Sahedah does not summon me." ”

"Really. That's great. Kutthea said with a smile.

"The beginning of a new life here, Kutsaia, you have to follow the rules here." Asana said.

Kutsya nodded, then said to Asana squeamishly, "Sala, I'm hungry. ”

"Why are you hungry again?" Asana smiled and said, "Then I'll ask the servant to bring some desserts and fruits." ”

"Good.... But Sara, you don't know Dimi, can those servants understand? "When we were in Athore, they brought in a servant who could speak Khaldo. I haven't even found anyone to talk to. ”

"It was in Athore—" Asana's eyes drooped, looking a little hesitant.

"I'm sorry, Sara, I mentioned it again."

"It's nothing, you just think of him again."

"Sala..."Kutsaya looked into Asana's eyes and asked her, "Sala, are you still in your heart. Miss him so much...? ”

Asana shook her head and said, "No, only occasionally, once in a while, I think of him occasionally. Okay, let's stop talking about that, in case someone who understands Caldo hears it, it won't be good. ”

"Sala, I said that no one here understands Caldo, not to mention that our Caldoan has a strong Sinwa tone." Kutsaia said.

"We have to be careful. The royal palace of a nation, which is both the richest and the poorest, is both the safest and the most dangerous. Asana said.

Kutthea nodded.

"Looking back now, when I was at Athore, I was so simple, that's why..." "If we had been in control of our destiny from the beginning, perhaps we wouldn't be the way we are now, including the whole of Sinwa. Brother, he's not going to..."

Seeing Asana talk about her sadness, Kutsya stepped forward and took her hand and said, "Sala, I understand. Don't say that anymore, it will only make you sad. ”

"Well, I'm not going to say any more." After adjusting her mood, Asana turned to the door of the dormitory. She spoke a few words in Caldo to the servants standing at the door, and then gestured to them.

Immediately, a large amount of food, including desserts and fruits, was brought in by many servants.

"Look, Kutthea, sometimes you get more from not being able to speak than from being able to speak." "They didn't know what we wanted to eat, so they brought us all the food." ”

Kutsaia looked at the table full of delicious food, smiled and nodded vigorously. She reached out and picked up a fruit placed in a prominent position among the delicacies, she looked at the fruit in her hand and said to Asana, "I have never seen a fruit like this, do you know what kind of fruit this is?" ”

"It's the Moro fruit of Chanla." Asana then picked up a small piece of honey-glazed pandan cake with Dimi's characteristics and put it in her mouth.

"It's actually produced in Zhanluo, and it's so fresh when it comes here." Kutthea looked at the Moro fruit in her hand, then took a bite.

"It's soft and sweet, isn't it?" Asana asked with a smile as she looked at Kutsaya who had bitten into the Moro Go.

Kutseea chewed on the Moro fruit and nodded at Asana, and only after she swallowed the flesh of her mouth did she ask, "How do you know, Sala?" It is indeed soft and sweet to bite. Have you eaten it? ”

"Nope." Asana then whispered, "I've only seen drawings and descriptions of this fruit in the Eagle Eye Society's archives. ”

"The Hawkeye Society's information is so detailed. I always thought they were just going to draw maps or something. Kutseea took another bite of the Moro fruit, and then she said, "Sala, I saw you say something to Hodadi that day, and he seems to have become a little afraid of you after that. ”

"Coincidentally, he used to be a member of the Hawkeye Society, the Hawkeye Apostle." Asana whispered as she picked up a piece of solan-soaked shortbread.

"What!" Kutthea asked in surprise, "He's a member of the Hawkeye Society?!" ”

Asana whispered to Kutsya, then she pointed to the maids standing outside the door and said, "Kutsea, be quiet, we need to be careful in whatever we do." ”

Kutsaya stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, and she turned to whisper, "Hodadi, he's the Hawkeye Apostle?" ”

Asana nodded, "Well, it used to be. ”

"But he's a Dimi."

"The Hawkeye Apostles were never all Asols. It's like a master craftsman's club. Asana said, "Actually, I didn't dislike the people of the Hawkeye Society and the Master Craftsman Society at all. I think these two organizations are quite in line with the emperor's spirit. It's just that Hawkeye will change after being taken over by the Regent. ”

"How did you know that he was once an Eagle-Eyed Apostle, Sara?" Kutsaya asked.

"He said in the Asorian language that Sahedah should know everything, know everything." Asana said, "Actually, omniscient, omniscient, this is exactly what the Hawkeye Apostle often used to talk about Emperor Asor. Considering that Hodadi had the ability to move alone over long distances, and that he had traveled to many places in Atholl, and that he had a special study of the terrain, I guessed that he was the Hawkeye Apostle. I didn't expect to guess it. ”

"Oh. I see. Kutseya asked, "Since Hodadi was a member of the Hawkeye Society, why is it that he is now with Sohrabian and serves Sahedah?" ”

"He must have betrayed the Hawkeye Society." Asana said.

"This man is still a traitor." Kutsea said, "Why didn't Hawkeye send someone to kill a traitor like this, the Hawkeye Apostle should have this ability, right?" ”

Asana smiled and said, "Kutsaya, don't you hate him?" ”

Kutthea nodded.

"Although everyone is very powerful, the Hawkeye Apostles never do assassinations, and their main task is to provide all kinds of information to the leader of Asol." "It has to do with the belief of the Azars, who believe in the sun god, and they believe that you can't do things that are not visible. ”

"Oh, Sarah, in that case, why don't you tell Sahedah about this?" "I hate Hodadi as a man, and if you reveal his identity, he'll be out of luck." ”

"He's unlucky, and he's not doing us any special good, Kutsaia. On the contrary, if I had said these things to Sahedah, he would have thought that I knew a lot of things that he did not know, and would have doubted me. "I'd rather not expose him than that." If possible, I'd prefer to keep him for myself. ”

"Sala, you don't want him to work for you, do you?" Kutsaya asked.

Asana nodded.

"Sala, don't." "To be honest, I really don't like him. ”

"Kutthea, we're all going to learn to mature. A lot of people who don't look like us are actually that bad. Some people who are not liked may be able to bring us a lot of help and benefits. We need to learn to be broad-minded. ”

Kutsaia hesitated for a moment, then nodded as if she didn't understand.

"I asked Khodadi to tell Sohrabyan to let him come to the palace to meet me." Asana said.

"Let Sohrabian enter the palace?" Kutsea immediately looked a little excited, she looked at Asana and said, "I really want to meet him, we haven't seen him in about two years, right?" ”

Asana nodded

"But, Sara, can he come into this palace and see us at will?"

"Of course not. Without Sahedah's instructions, no one would be able to enter and leave the Fire God Palace at will. Asana said.

"And how did he see us?"

"Have you forgotten that he's Sohrabyan, the Mooneater?" Asana said.

"Say, do you mean to let him...."

As Kutsea spoke, a maid outside the door suddenly turned and walked into the house. The maid closed the door with her backhand as she entered the house.

Asana and Kutsya looked at the maid who had approached the house without permission, and they looked at her, but before Asana could open her mouth, the maid smiled softly and suddenly said in Asor's language, "Long time no see, my friends. A man's voice.

"Sohrabyan!" Kutsaia reacted immediately when she heard this, and she ran at him excitedly.

She ran to him, looked at him carefully, and then said to him, "I didn't expect you to come, Sohrabyan, is it really you?" ”

"Of course it's me, Miss Kutsea."

"Oh my God, your disguise mask is so realistic, even more realistic than the ones you've made before." Kutthea said as she looked at him excitedly.

"Thank you for the compliment, dear miss." As he spoke, Sohrabian leaned over and took Kutsea's hand and kissed her.

Kutsea, who had received the kiss from Sohrabian, immediately turned crimson.

"Sohrabyan, it's a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for venturing here. Asana smiled as well and stood up and said to Sohrabian.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Your Highness Asana. As a Dimi, this is the first time I've infiltrated the palace of my own country. Sohrabyan smiled slightly, and he continued to Asana, "I didn't expect to see you again after more than a year, and you are now Dimi's imperial concubine. Earlier I received the scimitar and the message that you asked Hodadi to bring me. I will then pass it on your behalf to your people, Noor. ”

"Thank you, Sohrabian."

"Your Royal Highness Asana, you asked me to come to the palace this time, I'm afraid it's not for me to congratulate you on becoming the imperial concubine, right?"

"Of course not, Sohrabyan. I know you can't stay long, time is pressing, I'll make a long story short. Asana said, "I asked Hodadi to bring you here, in the hope that you would help me. ”

"What do you command, Your Highness the Princess, please speak. I'm going to do my best. Sohrabian said.

"I want you to help me gain power here." Asana said as she looked at him with a determined gaze.

"Gaining power?" Sohrabian asked a little puzzled, "Princess, do you still need any power?" You are now Dimi's princess. ”

"I don't want to be a little girl at the mercy of others, Sohrabian." Asana said, "You should know, what I experienced in Asol, I think my heart is no longer so pure and hot. I want to take my destiny into my own hands. ”

"I don't understand your words, Princess Asana." Sohrabyan said.

"You know, you're a smart guy, you know what I mean." Asana paused and said, "You know, I need your help to succeed. ”

"I'm sorry, whether I understand it or not, I don't think I'm going to help you." "It doesn't matter what you think, but I think it must be against Sahedah's wishes. It must have been hidden from Sahedah. It will even hurt him. I'm sorry, Asana, Sahedah is my master, and I won't do anything against him for your sake. ”

Kutsea cast an expectant look at Sohrabyan when she heard his words.

"Sohrabian, if you say so, why did you sneak into the palace to meet us after hearing Khodadi's words? Isn't this against Sahedah's wishes? Asana said.

Sohrabyan shook his head slightly, but did not speak.

Seeing that Sohrabyan didn't speak, Asana continued to him, "Actually, in your heart, you care about us very much, don't you? Or rather, do you love Kutthea? You want to meet her. ”

"Huh?!" Kutsaia couldn't help but be taken aback when she heard Asana say this suddenly, and she said to Asana in surprise, "Sala, why did you suddenly say that? Sohrabyanta...."

"I can relate to it." Asana turned to Kutsea and said, "Kutsea, do you like him too?" ”

"Sarah, I...."

Sohrabian interrupted Kutsya and said, "Miss Asana, I have sneaked into the palace to see you after receiving your information, and this is indeed against Sahedah's decree. But it's because I trust you and consider you my friend that I'm doing it. The same goes for me, including Miss Kutthea. As for the other things you mean, I don't think I can answer you, so please don't go any further. ”

"Sohrabian, are you really not willing to help us?" Asana continued, "Can you bear to see us again like we did when you were in Asol?" ”

"Sahedah is different, he is a kind and generous man. You won't be treated like you did when you were in Athore anymore. "Miss Asana, if there is nothing else, I think I must take my leave." ”

"Sohrabian." Kutthea hesitated for a moment, then she looked at him and asked, "You're still coming to us, aren't you?" ”

"Miss Cootsaya." Sohrabyan hesitated for a moment and said, "No, I won't break Sahedah's decree again. ”

"Sohrabyan, you're not such a ruthless person." Asana said, "When we were separated, you said that if you have any difficulties in the future, I will go to you. ”

"Yes, I did. But you are doing well now, and it is not difficult. If it's your desires that are bothering you, I'm sorry, but I don't think that's something I can help you with. Goodbye, Your Highness. ”

"Wait a minute." Seeing that Sohrabyan was about to leave, Asana asked, "Let me ask you a question. ”

"Excuse me. Her Royal Highness the Imperial Princess. ”

"If Sahedah had given you an order, whatever it was, would you have done what he wanted?"

"Yes, Your Highness the Imperial Princess."

"Alright, let's go." "We'll meet again in the palace." ”
