The start of the wrist, transforming the beauty of comics

From that day on, this child slave, who was as thin as Azir, became his exclusive slave under Azir's royal privileges.

But Azir did not regard Xerath as a real slave, Xerath should be his friend, so Xerath's originally dull heart became constantly beating, and his character became more confident.

The two often go to the place where they first met, the Great Library of Nasus. Coincidentally, they both have the hearts of scholars, so this is where they can truly open their hearts without worrying about other people's eyes. A place for free communication.

They studied together and made progress together. During this period, Azir discovered Xerath's arcane talent. Xerath could easily understand almost all arcane magic, but could not release it due to insufficient magic power. However, despite this, Azir could not Such talent.

Xerath has a sensitive heart. While he is constantly exploring his talents, he can also hide them. He is very aware of the fragility of emotions between people. This was something he learned when he was a slave.

Although he was not interested in magic, he and Azir had always liked the history and astronomy of Shurima, but he was still worried that his talent would cause a rift in his relationship with Azir.

But Azir was very keen. He found Xerath as soon as he found out and explained his thoughts to him.

"Xerath, you don't have to be like this! The stronger your talent is, the happier I will be, because we are both each other's only friends!"

Seeing the sincere smile on Azir's young face, Xerath knew for the first time that besides his father, there were still people in this world who could treat him sincerely.

Xerath knew very well that this was not a disguise, but a touch in his heart. He looked at Azir movedly and stretched out his hand.

Azir looked at Xerath's movements and smiled happily. He also stretched out his hand and shook Xerath's hand tightly.

"We will be friends forever."

Azir said softly, and Xerath agreed and responded:

"Yes, forever."

......

Sivir was puzzled because she was still in the same kneeling position and couldn't raise her head, but the image in his mind made him feel strange now.

Obviously, the emperor in front of him said that this person was the culprit of destroying Shurima, so something must have happened in the middle.

As if hearing her inner questions, the plot began to continue, she lost consciousness again, and the pictures in her mind began to appear again.

It was a dense forest. Although Shurima's territory was mostly desert, with the continuous expansion of borders, countless lands had been incorporated into the great Shurima Empire.

At this time, it was the annual imperial territory tour. The emperor arrived in person, and all the princes needed to accompany him. Azir was also there, and all Xerath, as Azir's personal slaves, also followed.

The emperor didn't care about these two thin little guys, so they had plenty of private space. Now there was no one else next to them, and they looked up at the stars and kept drawing something on the paper.

"How about it? Xerath, this star map is almost the same as the one in Nasus' Great Library."

Azir raised the piece of paper and Xerath looked at it and saw the stars in the sky painted on it. He also agreed with Azir's words and said with a smile:

"Yes, it seems you are about to become Shurima's next great astronomer."

Azir originally only boasted jokingly, but now that Xerath praised him so much, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

After he sneered, he continued to draw back and forth on the paper, but suddenly Xerath's expression froze. He gently moved Azir's shoulder, and Azir looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"how......"

Azir's confused words were interrupted by Xerath's silence gesture before he finished speaking. The forest fell into silence, with only the chirping of insects and birds. Just when Azir tried to speak again, the forest next to him moved.

A man in black held a dagger and headed straight towards Azir. Azir was stunned for a moment and could only watch the dagger getting closer and closer to him.

At the critical moment, Xerath rushed up from the other side and jumped on the assassin's back, constantly disturbing the assassin's sight and causing him to temporarily lose his vision.

Azir also reacted, hurriedly dodged, and then looked anxiously at Xerath, who was swinging around with the assassin on his back.

At this moment, the assassin finally became angry. He dropped the dagger in his hand, grabbed Xerath's arm with both hands, and pulled Xerath off his back with a force.

There must have been a wild smile under his black mask, but then his smile froze. A dagger was inserted straight into the back of his heart. He struggled to turn around and saw Azir's fierce face. Fall to the ground.

"Ha, ha, where did this assassin come from, and what happened to the others?"

Azir and Xerath were breathing heavily. After resting for a while, they woke up. The emperor must have been attacked, but they were not too worried.

Because even though this tour only brought ordinary guards and no ascended warriors, it was still enough to deal with these assassins.

So the two of them supported each other and walked back the same way without haste, hoping to return to the protected area of ​​Shurima Guards.

After walking for a while, they saw the corpse of the assassin who was also dressed in black. Farther away, there were guards surrounding the emperor's carriage. Among the corpses that were collected one after another by the guard captain, Azir saw several of his own bodies. A brother.

Although he is the elder brother, he has not had much affection since he was a child. But now that all the elder brothers are dead, what will happen to the throne?

Azir thought this way, he didn't want to be emperor at all, he just wanted to become the most knowledgeable grand maester in Shurima with Xerath, just like grand maester Nasus.

Obviously, the botched assassination did not panic the emperor, but the deaths of the princes made him angry. He drove back to the palace with a gloomy face, not caring that he still had a son alive.

So this imperial territorial tour ended after a short farce. After returning to Shurima, Azir immediately went to the emperor and told the story of Xerath's heroic behavior when he was assassinated.

But would the emperor care about a slave?Looking at Azir's thin body, he became even more angry and drove him out.

Azir, who had not won honor for Xerath, was a little disappointed at first, but after Xerath's enlightenment, he didn't care anymore.

The emperor did not worry about the heir, because he was still young and the queen was also young. He had enough time to give birth to a perfect son and perfect heir.

Only Xerath looked at Azir who was still a little confused. His social experience was far richer than Azir's and he had seen too many disgusting things. He had a premonition that something big would happen next.
