His Majesty Philip, who was already drunk at this time, saw his wife enter the meeting place, and beckoned her to come over.

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't have drunk so much wine." Cleopatra said with a strange look, "It's not good for your liver. ”

"It doesn't matter." Philip smiled and waved his hand and said, "Even Dionysus would be extra tolerant of the banquet held to celebrate the victory in the war." ”

(Dionysus, the god of wine in the mythology of ancient Siris)

Peggy was still quietly eating pudding, and a certain Macedonian nobleman came up to talk with a wine glass.

However, His Royal Highness Alexander's face was gloomy, staring at the direction of the banquet lord without saying a word, and the Macedonian nobles could only turn to Peggy in order to relieve the embarrassment.

"I heard that Miss Andrea is from Athens? I also studied at the University of Athens, but I majored in rhetoric and film, what does Miss Andrea think of The Trojan Horse? ”

Peggy put down the fork in her hand and grinned at him.

"Ugh." The Macedonian aristocracy immediately felt that this was a subtle mockery, after all, Macedonia's cultural level was far inferior to Ciris, and it was natural for the other party to disdain to discuss art with him.

"I think this work ......," he said, continuing to talk about his understanding of film and art.

Peggy still smiled.

With her polite smile, the Macedonian nobleman was finally defeated and left in shame.

Peggy proceeds to start eating pudding.

Suddenly, Alexander stood up in a rage, immediately attracting the attention of the entire venue.

"What did you just say, Your Majesty?" He asked through gritted teeth.

King Philip also drank too much, and subconsciously replied in amazement, "What's the matter?" I'll tell your little mom to take care of herself, after all, she carries the heir of the Macedonian kingdom in her belly......"

"He's your heir, so what do you think of me? Hybrids? You mean bastard! Alexander, furious, picked up the glass in front of him and threw it over.

The wine glass smashed into King Philip's nose, and with a loud bang, His Majesty's nose suddenly swollen, and two lines of nosebleeds flowed, which frightened all the nobles and bureaucrats below to stand up.

"Rebel!" was smashed in public with a wine glass, and King Philip immediately fell into a rage, grabbed the iron bowl next to him on the spot, and threw it hard.

Alexander drew his sword and slashed it into the air.

King Philip also drew the long sword of the guard next to him, and wanted to come over and kill Alexander, but he tripped over the chair under his feet, and relied on the guard's quick support to barely fall to the ground.

"Look!" Alexander laughed at him loudly, "A king ready to sweep the East can't even jump over a chair!" ”

King Philip was so angry that he could only throw his long sword over, but Alexander was still accurately slashed away again.

The gold and iron collided, and the sound of the bell woke up Peggy, who was still eating pudding.

The latter looked up blankly and looked at Alexander and King Philip, who were on a sare-rattling role, as if he had realized something.

Then, she grabbed Alexander's arm and ran outside without saying a word.

After all, Alexander is an extraordinary person in the arcane sequence, all the extraordinary powers are added to the spirit, and the physical strength is not as good as Peggy's, and he was immediately dragged out of the palace by her.

The incident happened suddenly, and the aristocratic bureaucrats present did not react at all, but just looked at each other in a daze, and even the guards at the door did not have time to stop them.

Only His Majesty King Philip, who was still bleeding from his nose, was left to gnash his teeth panting, supported by his little wife Cleopatra.

——————

"If I hadn't dragged you out, you would have died in the palace a long time ago!"

In the night, Peggy, who was driving, complained, "I haven't finished my pot of pudding yet!" ”

Alexander's handsome face was blue, and he sat in the passenger seat without saying a word.

"You stay steady." He was silent for a long time, looking at the crooked road in front of him, and finally couldn't help but say, "Can you straighten the steering wheel?" ”

"No way!" "I've only been learning my driving skills from Nora for a short time, so it's good enough to start the car, okay?" ”

Alexander was speechless.

"Actually, you shouldn't have taken me." After continuing to be silent for a long time, Alexander said coldly, "I want to see if he, the king of Macedonia, will really attack his own son in public." ”

"If he does it, you'll die." Peggy said.

"He wouldn't dare." Alexander said coldly.

Looking at the dim darkness of the night in the distance, the scenes of the past conflict with his father reappeared in his mind, and even a certain long-suppressed resentment was wrapped around his heart like a snake.

"Actually, he may not dare!" Alexander squeezed a few words out between his teeth, his voice trembling and almost deformed, "If this continues, sooner or later I will be cornered, and I must strike first......"

"You want to assassinate your father?" Peggy asked him.

"I'm not going to make a move." Alexander looked ahead with a gloomy face, and said, "Of course, if there is an accident around him, it will be impossible to say......"

"I don't think you're fit for this kind of thing." Peggy said.

"Why?" Alexander narrowed his eyes.

"Because of your character." Peggy said.

She grabbed the steering wheel, looked ahead and said, "You can see that you are a very proud fellow." After all, he was born noble, and he was talented, so he could be regarded as a proud capital. ”

"I'm guessing you've never faced any adversity since you were a child, right? So when you encounter this kind of setback, your thinking immediately goes to extremes. ”

"Think about it. Because of your father's drunken words, you did not hesitate to turn your face with him on the spot, what does this mean? ”

"It shows that you are afraid, afraid that he will really deprive you of your heir position."

"In fact, with your current prestige in the army and among the nobility, if he really wants to change the heir, how can he say it on the spot so easily?"

"You're right." Alexander was stunned for a long time, and suddenly came to his senses, "Even if he wanted to be tempted, he would not be tempted in front of so many people on the spot." ”

"That's it." Peggy shrugged, "You see, killing someone because of a word is an extremely reckless act in itself. ”

"If you really put it into practice. With your character, you will definitely regret it later. ”

"Indeed." Alexander nodded and said, "I should go back to Epirus first, which is my mother's family's territory." ”

"Even if he really wants to attack me, I can calmly organize a counterattack."

"Otherwise, if he really just said a drunken remark, and I acted so aggressively, doesn't that prove that I'm afraid of him?"

"You're afraid of him." Peggy complained.

"No, I'm not afraid of him." Alexander said firmly, his face regaining a confident glow, "Listen, Peggy. ”

"I, Alexander, will be a greater king than my father."

"He conquered Ciris, and I will conquer the wider lands of the East."

"If he conquers the East first, then I will conquer the whole world in the future!"

"Becoming the king of Macedonia is only a small step in my life, and I don't have to worry too much about it."

"And you, Miss Peggy." He turned his head, staring at Peggy with burning eyes.

"I wonder if you would like to become the future princess of Macedonia?"

"I don't want to." Peggy said.

"Hmm......" Alexander was a little embarrassed and turned his head to look out the window.

"Is it because of that guy named Asker?" There was silence for a long time before he asked softly.

"That's right." Peggy replied unabashedly.

"Why?" Alexander asked.

"The only reason why you like me is because I pulled you out of the mire with a few words when you were in despair." Peggy's fingers tapped on the steering wheel.

"And he did the same thing."

Alexander looked at her silently.

"Okay." Alexander sighed bitterly, "He's such a lucky guy." ”

"Luckily, like you and me, the guy who was rescued before falling into the abyss." Peggy said.

"You're right, I'm getting more and more fond of you." Alexander shook his head, "It's a pity. ”

"Don't be sorry, you can always find a better woman." Peggy said, "Well, I'm not good at comforting people. ”

There was a moment of silence in the car.

"Looks like I'm going to have to find some other way to thank you." "Alexander never owes favors. ”

"Help me find Asker, and I'll pay you back." Peggy said.

Alexander fell silent, and his voice suddenly became low and magnetic:

"Don't look for it, when you get out of my memory, you'll see him naturally."

The scene outside suddenly stopped, as if the whole world had come to a standstill, and Peggy stepped on the gas pedal in surprise, only to find that the car was not moving forward at all, as if it was stuck in some kind of sticky glue.

"Honestly, I've repeated this memory countless times." Alexander's pupils dilated, as if he were looking in the direction of infinity, "Every time I asked myself if I really had to attack him. ”

"Actually, when he later sent someone to Epirus to reconcile with me, I already sensed that something was wrong. However, the assassination order had been issued, and I did not want to admit that I was just impulsive, so I could only convince myself that it was a necessary choice for self-preservation. ”

"Now it seems that I am indeed deceiving myself."

"It seems that even the greatest king cannot avoid all shortcomings. I have made mistakes, and at least I can't lose the courage to face them again. ”

"Thank you, Miss Peggy. Thank you for sharing your life and experiences with a deceased person who is hovering in the ocean of the subconscious, and helping him finally recognize his heart. ”

"As a token of gratitude, I will give you my Phantom Sword. Ever since Hannibal's death at the hands of the Solomonians, this transcendent sword art has been lost in the Overworld, and this is not its destiny. ”

He held out a finger and put it on Peggy's forehead. The latter's mind buzzed, and he felt that there was something more in his memory.

"That...... ...... you," Peggy said hesitantly, "...... you?"

"Aren't you smart? Miss Peggy? Alexander smiled, "Don't you understand who I am?" ”

"Go ahead." He whispered, "Let me rest in complete peace." ”

Suddenly, in Peggy's line of sight, the whole picture collapsed like broken glass.
