20 Memories
【Ondeok Area Imperial Palace Hall】
The interior of the palace looks very grand and spacious, with countless marble pillars standing majestically in the palace, and the surface of the stone pillars is carved with the image of the goddess Missilline, which looks lifelike in different forms, as if dancing lightly. The floor of the palace is covered with delicate glaze, and its colors are brilliant and beautiful, and its quality is crystal clear and dazzling. It's as if you're immersed in a sea of colorful rainbows floating. A long red carpet stretched straight to the center, and it looked like there was not a trace of dust on it, as bright red as the scorching sun. Above the palace is a crystal chandelier carved with rare diamonds, inlaid with rare platinum decorations, which looks brilliant, and the whole surrounding area looks resplendent and majestic, giving people a kind of awe and worship. This man is the current king of the Byd Empire - Lugar.
In the center of the palace stood three people, who seemed to be talking about something, not caring about the scenery in the slightest.
"Father, my intelligence team recently got the news that the Resel Empire seems to be conducting a secret experiment, and the exact experiment is not yet known," Gilgamesh's delicate face was particularly charming and handsome, but it showed a hint of majesty, and said anxiously.
"Is the news reliable" Standing in front of Gilgamesh was a man in his forties, without a single slag on his face, wearing a golden crown on his head, the crown was inlaid with a ring of fluff carved from rare platinum, countless fine masonry and gemstones were set around, and in the center was a large red gem, the inside of the red gem was crystal clear, as if clear blood was flowing. Wearing a magnificent robe with patterns carved in gold and inlaid with many precious agate gives a sense of luxury and prestige. At this time, he was looking at Gilgamesh solemnly, and seemed to be calm, but his eyes showed a hint of coldness.
"Brother, now the Arthur continent has just ushered in a long-lost peaceful and prosperous era. Our Byd Empire has just come out of this disaster, and its strength is not as good as before, and it can no longer withstand a huge blow" Gilgamesh stood next to a girl in her twenties, her clear pupils were like two emerald green agate, her long black and bright hair had reached her waist, and her delicate face flushed with a girl's flush, which looked particularly charming. Wearing a pure white dress, it seems that the crystal crystal has no flaws.
"I know what you're talking about, Gibrielle. But if the intelligence is true, then it will be a devastating blow to our Byd Empire. Resel, the Kingdom of Jin, and our Ved Empire have all suffered heavy casualties in this disaster, and everyone in the Arthur Continent is still immersed in grief, and finally ushered in a peaceful and prosperous era, but in my eyes, the battle has just begun, and every country has no intention of fighting anymore, but they are all eyeing it" Gilgamesh seemed to be a little angry, and looked at his father standing in front of him with serious eyes, as if waiting for his answer.
"Now that you know the current situation, we in the Baird Empire can't afford to take risks, we really can't afford it. Alas, the way of the world has changed," Lugar sighed, a hint of sadness in his piercing eyes.
"Father, I know that my actions are indeed reckless, but for the sake of the Elder Empire, I really need to take this risk" Gilgamesh looked at Lugar with firm eyes, gritting his teeth, looking a little excited.
"Brother, don't embarrass your father," Jipley's clear eyes showed pity, and she bit her lip, as if she wanted to stop talking.
"If I don't go to hell, who will," Gilgamesh said coldly.
"Heh, sure enough, it's my son. But sometimes intelligence can be a trap, and now we can't be sure of the authenticity of this information, and I don't agree with you taking this risk," a smile tugged at the corner of Lugar's mouth, but then said seriously.
"Indeed, it is very likely that the news spread by the Resel Empire on purpose, maybe this is a trap, if my brother goes, he may not be able to come back" A trace of tears flashed in the corners of Jipley's eyes, and he looked at Gilgamesh movingly.
"If you don't go into the tiger's den, even if it's dangerous, for the safety of the Byrd Empire, I have a reason to take this risk, I've decided" Gilgamesh looked very determined, his sharp gaze at Lugar.
"Your ambition makes me proud to be my father, but I don't approve of you going, not only for you, but also for the sake of the people of the Byrd Empire," Lugar was very firm, and his face revealed a hint of coldness.
"Then I must go" Gilgamesh did not show weakness, and there was a cold light in his sharp eyes, which did not seem to listen to Lugar's words.
"Brother, don't embarrass your father, it's all for your own good, don't argue about this seedless matter" Gilgamesh pulled at him, shaking her head, trying to persuade Gilgamesh to cancel her thoughts. But Gilgamesh seemed to have made up his mind, and did not look at Gibrie at all, and looked at Lugar with piercing eyes.
"I've said it obviously, I don't agree, don't you even pay attention to the words of my king," Lugar shouted at Gilgamesh with anger in his blazing eyes.
"In that case, then I will go alone, and you will be free without my son, king," Gilgamesh's cold gaze showed anger, and he left without looking back.
"Brother" Jibri tries to call the stubborn Gilgamesh back, but to no avail.
"Let him go," Lugar sighed, and then departed, leaving Gibrie alone.
【Imperial Palace Mansion in the Onde Area】
Gilgamesh walked into the room with an unhappy look on his face. The interior of the room is relatively spacious, and directly above the hall hangs a large crystal lamp, which is carved with stripes of rare platinum, exuding a graceful and fashionable atmosphere. The surroundings are neatly arranged with exquisite and luxurious furniture, and the dressing table sits next to the wardrobe with a variety of rouge gouaches. On the bed next to her was lying flat at this time, a woman was pregnant, and the maid next to her was serving, without the slightest neglect.
Gilgamesh walked to the bedside, sat down slowly, and motioned to the maid, who humbly bent away. The woman moved awkwardly, and Gilgamesh helped her to lean against the side of the bed unharmed. The woman didn't look like she was wearing heavy makeup, but rather pure and ordinary. The strands of jet-black hair were devoid of any ornamentation, as if a soft cloud was floating in the blue sky, tranquil and simple. A pair of eyes as clear as calm lake water, giving people a sense of tranquility and charm. The reddish lips resemble the buds of a lily in a flower bush. The body exudes bursts of green flowers and plants, as if in the nature of the refreshing feeling.
"What's the matter, Gilgamesh," the woman asked with concern, as if a breeze was blowing lightly in her ears.
"I had a fight with my father," Gilgamesh said with a gloomy face, as if thinking about something.
"I don't understand political matters, but Gilgamesh, you should change your temper and not be too stubborn. Sometimes you should think about it from someone else's point of view," the woman seemed to stop talking, and did not continue.
"Spring/summer, I know. Don't worry too much about me, you're weak, and now that our child is about to be born, I, as a husband, have failed to fulfill my obligations and have wronged you," Gilgamesh said helplessly.
"No, it's my luck that I, a commoner woman, can marry you" Chunxia shook her head, looking at Gilgamesh with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and her tone was very gentle.
"No, I'm lucky I did. To be able to meet such a beautiful and empathetic you, it is the goddess Missilene who is attached to me, I am always busy with my own affairs on weekdays, and I have not been with you well, I am not worthy of being your husband" Gilgamesh's melancholy eyes flashed with tears, and he said helplessly.
"A man should have his own ambitions, and with a maid to take care of me, you can do your own thing with peace of mind. After our child is born, I will have him with me every day" Chun Xia gently put his hand on Gilgamesh's shoulder, comforting Gilgamesh.
"I'm going on a mission far away this time, and maybe this is the last time you and I will ever meet," Gilgamesh said with a gloomy face, guilty.
"Go, my child and I are waiting for you to come back, maybe you will be a father when the time comes" Chunxia looked very frightened when she heard Gilgamesh, but then smiled and said softly to Gilgamesh.
"Spring and summer, I" Gilgamesh looked guilty, spring and summer lightly blocked Gilgamesh's lips with her index finger, shook her head with a smile, and her eyes were tender, as if a wisp of wind was blowing.
"Go, don't have any regrets and sorrows, do what you want to do without hesitation, this is the real Gilgamesh" Chun Xia nodded softly, as if an adult was comforting a child.
Knock knock
A soldier stood in the doorway, knocking slightly. Gilgamesh wiped away his tears, slowly stood up, and walked to the door, where the soldier saw the door slowly open and saluted politely, looking very humble.
"Lord Gilgamesh, the King is waiting for you in the Great Hall with an important matter to discuss."
Gilgamesh walked into the hall, at this time Lugar was standing in the hall, Lugar's face was gloomy, without the slightest expression, he saw Gilgamesh walk in, turned to look at Gilgamesh, his eyes revealed a chill, and the atmosphere of tension and depression was permeated all around.
"Father, do you have anything to do with me?" Gilgamesh looked at Lugar with sharp eyes, looking very serious.
"Is Chun Xia's physical condition better, I passed by here and stopped by to visit," Lu Jiaer said coldly with a facial expression.
"It's still the same, and my body has always been weak"
"Your child is about to be born, I know you are usually busy, but you also have to take good care of Chunxia, she is a rare good woman," Lugar said earnestly.
"Didn't you object to my marriage to her at the beginning, why do you care about this again now" Gilgamesh's eyes seemed to be full of anger, and he looked at Lugar deadly.
"That's all before, what, you hate me like that"
"No, no, just asking, I don't dare to hold a grudge against the king of the Byrd Empire," Gilgamesh said coldly.
"You're going to the Ressel Empire, do you know about Chun Xia" Lugar said slowly without a trace of expression.
"Got it"
"Alas, I can't imagine that as the years go by, you have changed from an ignorant child to a man who stands up to the sky, and this makes me proud" Lugar looked at Gilgamesh with a smile on his lips.
"My father came to my mansion just to talk to me about this" Gilgamesh didn't pay any attention to Lugar's words, just kept his eyes on Lugar.
"It seems that the relationship between you and my father and son is as cold as ever," said Lugar, turning to leave, and suddenly stopped again, and a trace of tears flashed on his majestic face.
"By the way, I forgot an important thing, your stuff seems to have fallen to the ground"
Gilgamesh saw a package on the ground, frowned, and looked at Lugar with a surprised gaze.
"This is Resel's map, with some relevant information on it. There's also a temporary military token, and I've helped you choose the best of the dozens at your disposal. You can decide the meeting time and some related matters, they are always on standby"
"Father, you" Gilgamesh looked at Lugar's figure in disbelief, a tear flashing across his cold face.
"If the plan fails, be prepared to be a traitor, and only then will you be able to preserve the glory of our country. The father who doesn't feel sorry for his child, I do everything for your good" Lugar's tears had already slid down his cheeks and fell to the ground, and he said as he left the door.
Gilgamesh watched the old figure slowly leave, choked in his throat even if he had a thousand words, picked up the package with trembling hands, and stood in place like a downpour of tears in tears.
