Chapter 18: A New Journey (Part II)
Immediately, the high priest threw the speech to the ground in a faux puff, and although he had not seen it for many years, he knew with very, very sure from those two "papa" that it came from. But seeing that the others in the group below were all looking at each other, and when they were buzzing and exchanging ears, a female rider with long hair and pigtails on her left ear jumped off her horse, carried a bow and arrows, and wore a hunting suit and boots, and ran to the middle of the central aisle without "rules", and then shook her slender arms vigorously at the high platform very conspicuously.
“papa,papa! It's me, Papa. She continued to shout, with the lavender-colored scarf that Li Bida was familiar with on her shoulders, and then the whole review room was boiling, and several centurions on duty slowly walked to the side of the central avenue, and looked at their commander hesitantly, and then at the high priest standing on the stage, and really couldn't figure out what kind of great relationship this girl, who was about twenty years old, had with the head of the republic. But if the high priest gave an order, they would throw out this barbarian little girl who shouted indiscriminately and disturbed the reading environment.
"Niko, it's Niko, she's coming to me." The High Priest said this, and then he pulled up his robes, threw all the stunned generals and servants on the high platform, and ran down the high staircase, and Nicol also trotted forward, and the central aisle happened to give the two a good place to reunite, and after a while, they ran to each other, and hugged each other affectionately in front of nearly 100,000 people.
"Papa," Niko turned her face sideways, full of happiness as she rubbed into her father's arms.
In the tent with a golden eagle at the top. Niko stood across from her father. "I remember saying goodbye a long time ago. Your mother had said that your mother and daughter would be waiting for me at the temple of Diana, and I did look for you in the temple of Ephesus before I went out, but there was no one, and I went to the foot of Mount Amasinus with a little disappointment to gather my men. ”
"Father didn't find me, but I can come to my father's, hehe!" Niko, who is fluent in Greek and can converse with her father. Different from her mother's personality, now that she has become an adult, she looks very bold, and she looks like she can already host alone, she is taller, she looks almost the same as her father in boots, of course, her hair is more pretty, her skin is slightly darker, and she is full of vigorous and lively atmosphere.
"Well, what about your mother?" Li Bida remembered that dream. Asked with some wistfulness.
"Mother went deep into the land of Aran last year, and she had a mercenary mission. With Aunt Al Capa, he has not yet returned. "Before leaving, she cut off a piece of this lavender-colored robe, made me a scarf, and said that if she could not return, she would pass the throne to me as a token." ”
"The throne? How many subjects are there in your kingdom? The High Priest asked in a joking tone.
"There's no one left, anyway, I'm the only one left to serve in the army on behalf of the kingdom this time." The daughter crossed her waist embarrassedly and replied.
The High Priest sighed, he instinctively felt that Helenputina might have disappeared in the Alain region, maybe she would never come back, but maybe when would she miraculously appear before his eyes, the red-haired warrior with gazelle-like eyes under the red moon, had finally turned into a faint fragrance and disappeared without a trace?
At this time, he looked at his daughter, and suddenly remembered something, so he stood up and beckoned to Mindaz, the exiled prince of Parthia, who was sitting beside him, and the other party immediately got up and bowed to Niko, who stared at her with round eyes, and did not know why, and then her father took Mindaz's arm and said, "This is the future prince who will inherit the Parthian Empire, and the goal of my father's expedition this time is also to defeat Hyrod, who usurped the throne of the other side, and help Mindaz back to the throne, and put an end to the wars between the Republic and Parthia. Look at it, now that Prince Mindaz is about thirty years old, and his ex-wife has long since died, it is a good time for a man to make a contribution, how about it? My good girl? ”
Mindaz also said very excitedly, "Your Excellency the High Priest, if you can marry your beloved daughter to me, I only need to inherit the Parthian Empire, and now I am your cavalry general, and I will always be your cavalry general in the future, at your disposal!" ”
Niko, on the other side, continued to widen her eyes, and she didn't understand what this group of people was talking about, and then her father told her bluntly, "I will marry you to him, and you will be a proof of my friendship with the New Parthian Empire." ”
"That's what happened!" "My mother told me early on that the habits of the Amazons should have changed since her generation, and that she had no objection to me entering the city, not against me coming to find my father, nor against me marrying a man. ”
The High Priest nodded, thinking that this would be easy, and that there was no need to ask Helen Putina anything, but Niko continued, "I can understand my mother's feelings, so I got married before." ”
With the sound of "tearing", the hand that the high priest was holding on the waist of his robe made a mistake, and he almost didn't tear off his clothes, and his body also fell violently, almost not falling.
"What did you say, good girl?"
"I said I'm married." Niko's face was full of calm and calm expression.
"Who, who!" As a father, Li Bida's mood at the moment can be described as crazy - his daughter is married, but he doesn't know it, there are more miserable things in the world.
"Didn't my father see what had been following me just now?" Neeko pointed back refreshingly, and then her father saw that behind Nieko, there had been a tall bearded brute, who looked like it was from Alain's side, and looked like she was standing with him, and in her father's eyes, it was as if she had seen the ending of the Harry Potter movie, Hao Min and Rubeus. Hagrid felt the same way when he finally became a dependent.
"Duty, guard, pull this guy out for me, behead him, no, iron nails!" The high priest was incoherent, and the attendants and staff around him gathered around him, helped the high priest who was trembling with anger to sit down, and persuaded him to calm down. But the "Hagrid" and Niko stood at the tent with their arms on their hands, whether they wanted to leave or stay.
Especially Niko, she didn't understand why her father was so angry, but when she saw her father's faint white hair and the angry and sad look just now, she was very worried and unbearable, so she could only hold back her tears, and was comforted by her husband's continuous bowing of his head, so she was a little steady, waiting for her father's explanation.
