Chapter 8: Eunuchs

The eunuchs in the palace of the Holy Cult of Light in Olopa are similar to the eunuchs in the palace of the True Kingdom in the Far East, both of whom have been artificially castrated, but there is an essential difference between the two

The eunuchs are responsible for handling all kinds of chores in the palace, in fact, similar to servants and servants, the royal family castrated them to prevent eunuchs and the emperor's concubines, and the eunuchs of the Olopa palace actually performed singing performances in the palace to entertain the royal family, and the purpose of castration was to make them have a beautiful singing voice

Generally, castrations are usually castrated before entering puberty, so that their voices change after development, and their voices are crisp, beautiful, and incomparable, and no woman can have such a crisp, powerful and sweet singing voice

However, whether it is eunuchs or eunuchs, they are all from the poor world, and the monarchs need these eunuchs who are neither male nor female, and provide a way for the children of the poor to live from a certain extent, especially for eunuchs, although they are exploitative, but for these castrated children, the future is indeed good, because every time they perform their skills to the monarchs, they can get rich rewards, which is not the same as what the eunuchs of the real kingdom can get

However, even if they can get quite rich material rewards, there is also a dark side in the heart of every eunuch that outsiders cannot touch, because eunuchs have been emasculated since childhood, and they have lost the ability they should have as normal men, they live in inferiority all the time, and it is precisely because of this inferiority that their psychology has been distorted in different ways; On the other hand, they are extremely dependent on the royal family, and at the same time, they also have an inexpressible resentment towards these people who stand at the top of the social pyramid, because the existence of the eunuch is the expression of the disparity between the rich and the poor in society, if they were not forced to go home, these poor children would not have entered the palace and embarked on the road of eunuch

Therefore, if a royal palace is considered an impregnable fortress, then the eunuch is the most vulnerable part of this fortress

Julian's first step in the plan was to buy a eunuch as an internal servant in the palace, because the eunuch's material life was not bad, so it was often ineffective to buy them with money, so to buy the eunuch, he had to use other things as a temptation, Julian knew the truth, so he made a promise to the eunuch who was bought by them, called Is, although it was only a promise, but the exchange conditions mentioned in the promise were so that any eunuch could not be unmoved

That is the ability to make Ishui fรน a normal man

In order to convince Is, Julian had to kill himself, and he showed enough evidence to convince Is, who was in their favor, that they were from the Central Church, and what Julian needed Iss to do was to ask him to help secretly transport a batch of boxes to the palace, and that's it, after the deed, Julian could have the cardinal of the Central Church perform advanced light magic to repair Is's physical shortcomings

However, not to mention that Julian's position in the Holy See is not qualified to summon a cardinal to do things for him, and although the magic of light has the miraculous effect of healing injuries and diseases, even the Pope himself probably does not have such a ability, perhaps the ultimate priest who surpasses the cardinal in legend, the Sage, can do it, but that is only a legend after all

Therefore, Julian's promise to Isis was very deceitful, and even Julian himself felt quite despicable, but there was no other way for Julian to complete this mission so that he and Frey could live happily ever after, and he had to make some sacrifices to his conscience

On August 30, 1686, the rebels in the western part of the empire captured four larger towns in a row, and followed the Knights Templar who landed in the northeast to join the army to the east, and the strength of the coalition army after the division increased greatly, and the emperor retreated, but still held on to several communication points in the central part of the empire, because the emperor held on to the danger, so the Knights Templar and the rebels loyal to Prince Carroton had nothing to do for the time being, and the new commander of the emperor was by no means mediocre, his strategy was obviously to exchange land for time, and after the crisis on the northern border was resolved, he could transfer the powerful imperial main force back to the domestic battlefield, drive the Knights Templar back to the sea, and completely wipe out the rebels

However, even though the Emperor had made such a plan and wrote his thoughts in detail to Charlottes I, who was in the eastern palace, the Emperor was still furious when he learned that the four towns had been lost, and he wreaked havoc in the palace, but fortunately the Prime Minister arrived in time and offered to confront His Majesty, and the Emperor's anger was greatly dissipated

The current Emperor Charlotte I, the Emperor of Fayle, was already very fond of playing chess when he was still the Grand Prince of the Empire, and his obsession with playing chess was even more well-known throughout the city. According to legend, no matter how much the emperor loses his temper, as long as he can play a good game, his temper will immediately converge, and the prime minister is also a very famous chess master in the empire, so the opponent who accompanies the emperor to play chess is usually the prime minister, which is why there is a new saying that the prime minister can become the prime minister because of the emperor's favor - of course, this statement was later confirmed to be spread by the Prince of Carloton

Plans for a raid on the palace began in the evening of that day

Julian divided his men into eight operational groups, each with different orders

A horse-drawn carriage carrying seven or eight large boxes was carried from outside the street to the entrance of the palace

The soldier standing at the door stopped the carriage on its way or something

Don't you know me, a very handsome man sitting in the carriage said to the soldier in a shrill voice

The soldier recognized the man, he was one of the eunuchs in the palace, but the soldier didn't have a good impression of these guys who were neither men nor women, and he didn't give Iss a good look at the moment, of course I know you, I asked you what you were bringing with you

It is a batch of performance equipment purchased outside

Why do you buy so much performance equipment?

You should all know that Iss put his face on the soldier's ear, and last night His Majesty broke a lot of things, including all of our singers' performance equipment, so ......

That being said, but you are carrying so many boxes in, and now is a critical period, for the sake of caution, we have to open the boxes and inspect them, and the soldier said very dutifully

What to unpack and check, fortunately, he turned his back to the sunset, so the soldiers could not see the nervous look on Is's face

That's right, the boxes must be opened and checked, and I can't help but say that the soldier led people to move the boxes off the carriage one by one, and was about to open the lid of the wooden box

When it was over, Echinese secretly complained in his heart, and a handful of sweat wiped from his palms
