After the failure of the Southern Expedition, Nina sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her husband's lover. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

How could she be so old?, she couldn't help but wonder. She was as beautiful as she had seen her in the North City for the first time, wearing a sickle crown on her head, a white cloak on her shoulders, and her dark blue eyes as deep as the sea. The war has brought her too much pain, not only the loss of her beloved, but also the loss of such a beautiful face. What about me? I lost my husband.....

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

Hearing Nina's voice, Mira opened her eyes. "Nina?" the voice was small and full of pain, "is that you? A quivering smile appeared on her face, and she was fumbling for her hand. "I thought..... You're not coming....."

"It's me, what's wrong with you? How did you get this way?" Nina took her hand. It felt like holding a stick with bark on it. Mira was so beautiful when she was young, it seemed that there was nothing she could do with her all her time. However, now it seems to be a little shrunken, the muscles of the whole body have melted into the bones, the face is so shriveled and wrinkled, and the silver hair, which was originally as white as silk, now looks messy like a mess.

"Honey, I am..... O anti-god wizard. She smiled bitterly, her eyes still as blue and deep as the sea, full of smiles, but they lacked their original brilliance.

"Yes..... You were fine when you went back to Beicheng, why did you become like this?" Nina held her sandpaper-like hands tighter. She had already lost so much that she didn't want to lose even her husband's lover.

Mira shook her head slightly. "I just..... I want to bring him back to you in its entirety. ”

"Thank you, thank you Mira, my good sister. The thought of her husband made her unable to hold back her tears. She turned her head, reached out to wipe away her tears, and smiled back at her husband's lover. "This is where you met?"

"yes..... I'm sorry, Nina. Mira looked at her, her sunken eyes full of apologies.

"No, don't say that. Nina said softly, "I'm the one who should say I'm sorry." Good sister, you know what? He's been thinking about you for seventeen years, and I know you've never done anything to be sorry for me, and I believe in Kenny, and I believe in you, but ..... It's so painful!"

Mira smiled at her, tears streaming down her eyes.

"Good sister, how could he just leave?" Nina's tone was soft and painful. "If I had known that he was leaving so early, I should have dissolved my relationship with him sooner so that you could be together. Life is so short, he loves you so much, and so do you, I should have let him be with you earlier. Good sister, you say, how could he leave so early?"

Mira pursed her lips and shook her head.

"I'm sorry to say to you," she continued, after a moment's pause, "because of Horn's business, Sonny left Assyria and you. I know that Kenny often goes to see him secretly, for all sorts of reasons. To tell you the truth, as a wife, I can't stand my husband going to see his lover, but as a mother, I can't let a man not see his son, even though the child is not mine, but ....."

"You are so kind, dear..... You're so kind. Mira whispered, "He's seen me too, of course..... Just by the way. He always mentions you in front of me, and you mention your marriage, and you take good care of him, and you also ..... Horn" A sharp pain struck her, and her fingers grasped her hand tightly. "There's something in my head..... Piercing, piercing, piercing, day and night. It's like needles, so many needles, and the old doctor has mixed me with the wine of my dreams, and poppy milk..... So I slept a lot, but when you came..... I must be awake and take a good look at you. I know time is running out..... But I'm not afraid. Sorry dear, I'll probably go to him first, but ..... One day you will come, and then I will give it back to you, just like I did at the beginning....."

"Good sister, sleep in peace, you won't leave so fast. Nina squeezed her hand as well, "At the very least, you'll have to hold on until those two stinky boys come back and let them know how stupid they are!"

"Horn, inherited his eyes..... The eyes of the Dalton family, I knew from the beginning, were a rumor..... Rumors....." she whispered, "my dear, one day he will understand that he is from the Dalton family, and must be." ”

"Thank you....." she wiped away tears again. "Do you want to rest for a while, get some sleep, and Sonny will be back, okay?"

Mira smiled: "He'll be back, I know..... Thinking about it, he was so young, and I was saddled with so much infamy..... and left him in Assyria. When Kenny first saw him, he smiled so happily, and that smile was real..... I suppose that must have been the case when he first met Horn, right?"

"The two brothers had a good relationship, thanks to the mildness of the Dalton family. Nina wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "However, Sonny is more like Kenny, they look the same, and their personalities are the same, they are all so gentle, but Horn is more like Kenny's distant brother Alan, who has been making a lot of noise since he was a child, and it seems that he has never stopped beating since he came out of his stomach." ”

"I don't want to say that, but Nina..... When I'm gone, take care of Sonny," Mira whispered, "Please, take care of Sonny..... For the sake of all these years, I haven't bothered you, okay?"

"Of course. Nina nodded, her tone soft but firm, "I mean, definitely, I'll take care of Sonny for you." However, now that they are all grown up, maybe they will take care of me. ”

"One last thing....." Mira's voice became a faint whisper, "Nina..... I want to be buried with him. Tears rolled down her eyes, and she closed them. "I know this is an excessive and unreasonable request..... But please, I want to be with him while you haven't come to him..... It's been seventeen years..... It's been seventeen years..... Seventeen years ....."

"Well, I promise you, as long as the princes of Assyria agree, and Sonny agrees, I promise you. Nina said. But Mira didn't answer. "Mira..... Mira?" she felt her grip slowly loosen. Then, she quickly turned around and rushed to the window. "Doctor, Doctor, Come in!Hurry!Hurry!!"

It was a bald old man, old enough to be her father. The old man rushed in with a look of horror on his face, stumbled over to Mira, and examined it carefully. "Don't worry, ma'am, the queen she's just asleep. The old doctor turned to her and told her.

Nina nodded, and put Mira's hand under the covers. "How did she become like this?"

The old doctor shook his head helplessly. "Queen, she..... It can't be on the way to the south, and she has been relying on stimulants to get here, and Sonny's departure has given her a certain blow, so ....." He raised his head slightly and looked at Nina, "Ma'am, can you contact Lord Horn? If you can, please-"

"How long does she have left?" Nina interrupted, "I want to be honest. ”

"Three days at most. ”
