I'm putting on a vest

When the miracle was spread, only the result was mentioned, not the process. Presumably the people who passed it on felt that these processes were too barbaric and unreasonable.

When Medea told them how Jason's father was disembowelled and thrown into a cauldron of boiling water before he became his young man, the princesses turned pale with fright .They waved their hands again and again, saying that their father would never stand such torture.

"What's more." One of them questioned, "How can we ensure that you won't take the opportunity to murder my father? After all, you..."

She couldn't go on because another man put his hand over her mouth, smiling apologetically at Medea.

Medea also smiled. She knew she was talking about how she killed her brother, but it was true and she was not angry.

"If it's like this." She said softly, "Just ask you to find something at random, and I'll make it for you to see once."

The princesses found an old goat. This goat was really too old to walk, so it was carried by others.

It stood on the grass, weakly leaning its body against the tree trunk behind it.

You will also be amazed when you see it, how can a shepherd raise it to such an old age without eating it or letting it die of some disease due to poor care.

This is obviously embarrassing.But if Medea can rejuvenate the old goat, then it is not afraid that she cannot rejuvenate their father (how can this be compared? Their father is so wise and powerful!) Rejuvenate.

Medea accepted this test, and she disemboweled the goat as she did Jason's father. When she did this, the others couldn't help but secretly covered their mouths and laughed, thinking that this princess—she should be a Princess, although they come from a foreign country whose name they have never heard of, it would take 8 years to reach this foreign country by boat, and they are doing butcher's work.

But when she danced the sacred dance, everyone's faces became serious, and when she immersed the goat in the cauldron full of potions, some people couldn't help but clenched their hands.

The goat was so energetic when it jumped out, it looked no different from a lamb just a few days old.

Everyone was speechless. The princess who questioned Medea looked at the potion in the cauldron again and again, hesitating to get some of it.

Such a big pot.Lest Medea, she thought, waste all her precious potions on this damned old goat, and have no share left for my beloved father.

Medea completed her trials.Unlike the princesses, they stood on the plain at noon for so long, beside the cauldron boiling potions, they were already sweating profusely with fans, but Medea was still so beautiful, her face It's as exquisite as it is made.

She looked at them, not angry at all, and said, "Now please go and bring your father here, and I will treat him."

The princesses thanked her again and again, and the princess who questioned her at first kissed Medea's fingertips several times to express her apology.

"I am your friend." She said meekly, "After you have done this good deed, I will do it for you no matter what you ask... even if it means sacrificing my life."

Medea smiled.

"No. Don't go too far." She said gently.

"If I want something, I'll get it myself."

Like Jason's father, the king was also fed a potion that made him unconscious when he came over. This time it was even more thorough, and the king fell asleep completely.

Medea's saying is "in order not to frighten him like you."

The princesses were deeply moved by her kindness, and even made a wish that after this incident is over, they must ask their father to list Medea's husband as the next heir instead of their own brothers, so To repay her faithful friendship to them.

The place where the ceremony is held is very particular.At least that's what Medea told them, and the princesses didn't want their father to perform the ceremony in the same place as the old goat, so they had to take him to the place where Jason's father had performed the ceremony.

If the father-in-law knew that he could hold this crucial ceremony in the same place as the current king and his younger brother, whom he could never compete with, he might be moved too.

Medea smiled.

"What?" A princess couldn't help but make a sound.

Medea kept smiling, and repeated it patiently like a child who couldn't hear others' words.

"Now, please tear His Majesty the King into pieces with your own hands."

Is this something you can't hear?The princess looked at her with a look like she was saying you were joking.

But Medea's eyes are so firm, and there is no evil intention - if there is evil intention, how can she look at them so frankly and let them see through her heart?The princess also hesitated.

"...Is this necessary?" asked another princess, who was more sedate.Medea nodded.

"You have also seen how I cast a spell on that goat. I did exactly the same thing to my husband's father before. Only by dying once can we usher in a better life."

"I can't do this kind of thing alone. It's better for you—His Majesty's daughter to bring him to a new life with your own hands."

"When His Majesty emerges from the potion cauldron, perhaps he will look more like your brother."

This imaginary future made the princesses smile a little, and their fears lessened a little.

But when they really took the knife and were about to stab their father's body, their hands began to tremble again.

"Are you really going to do this?" They looked back at Medea without hope, Medea's smile remained the same, so they had no choice but to close their eyes and stab the tip of the knife fiercely go down.

puff.

Blood gushed out instantly, and the touch of the knife point into the flesh made them almost want to vomit.

They knew it was for a better future, but they couldn't restrain their uneasiness.

"Go on." Medea said softly, "You are doing well."

After the first stabbing, the next thing went smoothly.

After they tore the entire arm apart, the next thing became a mechanical repetition.

Flesh and fat piled higher and higher around their legs, and they even began to feel impatient, wondering why their father's body was so magnificent, even if they had already started to rickety after being old.

How many knives will it take to declare the end?Their arms have started to go numb...

"What are you doing?"

A weak sound as if about to vomit blood came from under the knife.

This is a voice they are very familiar with. Before they came out this morning, they kissed the owner of this voice goodbye.

It was their father's voice.

I don't know when the power of the sleep potion has receded, maybe it was caused by the extreme pain, because the wound on my father's body now will not hurt even the most stubborn captive when he accepts the punishment.

He didn't cry out for pain, but just opened his eyes wide, looked at them in confusion, and moved slightly at the broken part of his missing arm, trying to make sure if it was a dream.

"My daughter, what are you doing?"

he asked desperately.Every word is accompanied by blood.

The hand of one princess trembled slightly, she could hardly continue, while the expression of the other princess was a little tougher, because Medea was watching them from behind, this kind of sight was simply a kind of guarantee, no guarantee Anything bad will happen.

"We're doing your best, Father."

Different from the gentleness on her face, she stabbed down with a knife in her hand.

The knife went straight to the heart, and my father never spoke again.

At least not until he woke up and cleared up the misunderstanding...if the misunderstanding could be solved.

Medea watched all this with a smile.

After the father quieted down, the previous incident was like a small episode. After they removed the thighs, these incidents did not leave any impression in their minds as if they had never happened.

They were so tired that they even took a few breaks. During the rest, both of them had blood on their hands. They looked at each other and smiled, thinking that the other was really in a mess.

"We shouldn't laugh at Medea." A princess said, "At least Medea is very experienced. We used to laugh at her like a butcher, but now we don't look much better than her."

"Yes. If you do one last thing, you can bring your father back to life...huh?"

She turned her head.

Her gaze froze.

There is still something boiling in the cauldron, but the stewed thing is completely different from the potion used for the goats before. The father, or the things that used to be the father, are scattered on the ground, and the lawn is wet with blood. .

The place where Medea had stood was empty.

"..what happened?"

They began to search in a daze, because the guards had been blocked in advance, so no one could respond to them even if they shouted with all their strength.

They have been looking for the sunset when the sun is high, and they have found nothing.It was completely dark, and the princesses admitted this fact on their way back to the palace, exhausted and covered in blood.

"We were deceived."

They killed their father with their own hands.

After fleeing in a flying dragon chariot, Medea rushed all the way back to the palace.

Fortunately, the husband was in the room, as if he was waiting for his own good news.

She pushed open the door hard, barely hiding the smile on her face.

"I did it! I succeeded in killing the person who hindered you, and let his daughter kill him with her own hands... You should really see his expression on the spot."

In fact, she didn't have any hatred for the cold reception she suffered, but she couldn't bear the king blocking her husband's way.

It shouldn't have gone so far.But the fire of love burned all her humanity away.

"Now," Medea said eagerly, her eyes sparkling.

"Please go and receive the throne you should receive!"

"..."
