The Snows of Tasikel

I have been condemned by my conscience, but now...

"Listen...listen to me, no matter what you see, I assure you my dear son, that assassin was never sent by me." Empress Jin took a step forward, she wanted to hold her son's arm.

"No, that's actually not important," Sui Liu avoided the pleading touch from his mother, his eyes slowly dimmed, and he had already confirmed his mother's crime in his heart.

"Mother, although I call you mother, I have never regarded you as a real mother. I hate you, your cruelty, your cruelty, and your ambition. Please stop doing those dirty things. Please, set me free!"

His chest rose and fell with the flow, it seemed that it took him a lot of effort to mobilize such emotions.

Empress Jin blinked. She never thought that her child would disobey her like this. Although she did a lot of evil things, she never thought that what she did would attract the disgust of others. You know, he is a A child without emotion, how can a child without emotion feel disgust?

Empress Jin took a few deep breaths, and countless images suddenly flashed in her mind, the burning houses, the screams of women in the clan before they died, the battlefield filled with the smell of dead people, the faces of Taxi soul warlocks full of hatred and exhaustion , Emperor Irene Youting who really loves herself but is unavoidably bothering, a young figure who just learned to walk, but in the end, all the pictures are frozen before her brother commits suicide, looking into her eyes...

After a while, Empress Jin's eyes suddenly became sharp and even a little hysterical, "That's right! I was the one who instructed the soul warlocks to imprison you in the Royal Penitentiary 11 years ago, because you are my illegitimate child, and there is The best place to hide you; send assassins to assassinate the emperor of Irene Yutin, my husband's man is also me, because then Lucilia will succeed to the throne and become the queen, I need more real power; encourage the emperor to The person you brought to the Tasmanian war is still me..."

"You don't have to say that." Sui Liu rolled his eyes slightly, "Actually, I know."

Empress Jin clenched her fists, her cheeks flushed suddenly, but in the end she just pursed her lips and swallowed.She seems to have a lot to say, but only one in the end.

"Let's go, I won't send guards to stop you, and... I will help you deal with the aftermath."

"Thank you..." Sui Liu stood where he was, this was exactly his goal, now that the goal was achieved, he didn't know what else to say to his mother.This may be the last time he talked to her in this life, but the topics between them are too poor.

"Thank you, mother."

Finally, he repeated it again, fixed a glance at the beautiful black-haired woman, turned around, and walked behind the prophet.

"What are you... planning with those undead from Taxi?"

The Prophet didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but he asked suddenly before leaving. He didn't expect the stunned queen to answer, but just closed his eyes, "You guys... just stop in moderation."

After finishing speaking, he and Sui Liu together aroused the Kongdu Spiritual Language Formation across mountains and rivers.

************************************************** *********************

Empress Jin stared at the figures of the prophet and his son gradually disappearing into the wonderful light curtain built by the powerful spiritual language.In fact, she didn't care about the prophet's words at all, and she didn't mind her son hating her so much.

Having been hated for so many years, she was used to it.

All of this is beyond her control.

Including the assassination of the emperor, including the restoration of Taxi's country, those things are not something that a weak woman can control. She is just a woman who is pushed away by a huge force. That huge force comes from every The soul of the kingdom of Taxi who died unjustly.

All she could do was to stand straight in the empty hall and silently recall those beautiful pictures in her eyes.In her eyes is still the bare face of her own son after washing off the oil paint, and in her mind are still the words that flow.

"Mother, I hate you, please stop doing those dirty things, please set me free!"

A slight smile suddenly appeared on her lips.

No one knew how obsessed she was looking at the real appearance of her own son; no one knew how happy she was to hear his voice that was no longer so hoarse.

She has told countless lies in her life.

At the age of 16, she said to her lover that she would be loyal to him forever and be with him forever, but she failed.When her lover committed suicide and died for the country, she married the emperor of the second largest country in the world because she needed to leave the last bloodline for the Taxi royal family.

At the age of 17, she stroked her stomach, whispered lovingly to the unborn child, and silently promised him a future full of love. Obviously, she failed to do so, and she had to give birth to him in a dirty and cold place. In the other building, he took great pains to get him away, making him someone else's child, and he was treated coldly as an illegitimate child since he was a child.

When she was 22 years old, she said to her daughter, you should get along well with the third son of the Tarumaki family, because he will be very important to the royal family in the future. In fact, she just wanted to see the harmonious situation between siblings little selfishness.

At 23, she told her son that she was his mother, but she never loved him.

This is the biggest lie, even if no one knows, she still loves him very much, more than all living people in this world, unfortunately, she can never tell him, she can't give him any reason to be weak, At the moment when he was about to step into the penitentiary, the place where people can't spit out bones, such gentle words would destroy his life.

At the age of 33, she told those ex-Tasi kingdom soul warlocks who endured humiliation and undercover in the ascetic for 16 years that her son would fight for the revival of Tasi on her behalf and help them start the war of restoration. .

But she never thought about letting her 17-year-old child with an incomplete mind bear such a burden, so she decided to push him to another battlefield.That battlefield is not the battlefield of the Micah War, but the battlefield called Independent Life.

She wanted to secretly replace Sui Liu during the war, because only by staying away from the penitentiary in the imperial capital, could Sui Liu escape the eyes of those undead of Tasi who wanted to restore the country of Tasi.

Walter, he was the one who made him live with guilt for 11 years. This fetter has kept him from giving up his friendship with Swirl. He will definitely arrange Swirl properly so that he can live happily people, slowly learn the joy of being an ordinary human being.

She has always known that lies are sinful, and one lie needs to be covered by countless lies. She has lived in lies all her life, and she meditates every night that such a wicked person like herself will definitely get retribution, so When the retribution came this time, she faced it calmly.

There is always a price to pay for doing bad things, right?

The price was that no one would believe her even if she told the truth, and she had to say those hurtful words to make her son hate her so that she could fly away without any scruples.

Without the Son of Soul, she would have to replace her son by doing things that sacrificed her life for the country, or in other words, sacrificed her life, including the Irene Yutin Empire and the Taxi Kingdom that no longer existed.

Empress Jin stood alone in the huge side hall. She had very few children, only two, a son and a daughter, but now, they all hated her and left her.

Her daughter is about to marry the general's son, Walter. Although Walter doesn't love Lucilia, and Lucilia doesn't love Walter, Lucilia still threatens to follow her husband to the battlefield. Is she disappointed in her mother? What?

They all left her, however, Empress Jin was smiling.

This smile is not mixed with any interests and tactics, because she loves them, because this is the best way for them - her daughter has realized her dream of serving the country since she was a child, and her son has received The freedom he never had but always wanted.

Empress Jin slowly picked up the wine glass, the bright red wine reflected her beautiful face, she had no time to grieve her loneliness, this was originally one of the issues she had to endure as a controller of the current situation, now she, We must go and talk to the souls of the Tarsi kingdom in the penance.

The only good thing is that Walter already has a scapegoat for the responsibility that was supposed to be borne by him. The crime of losing the Son of Soul is not a small crime, and Walter is even ready to be demoted to a commoner.Right now, no one will blame Walter, because the son of Irene Yutin Empire and the old Taxi Kingdom's hope of victory has gone to practice with the world's greatest soul warlock.

Empress Jin turned around gracefully, her back was confident and resolute, but no one noticed that a ray of light fell straight down, dripped into the wine glass, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Traveler in the Micah Desert

The temperature of the soft sand is scalding, and the wind blows the sand to make people feel ashamed. No matter how tightly it is wrapped, it will always be a mouthful of sand during the noon break.It's only spring in the northern part of the Irene Yutin continent, but the temperature in the Micah Desert has risen to a level that even the northern continent's scorching summer can hardly match.

Sui Liu was walking with a camel near a sand nest in the northeastern part of the Micah Desert.
