Chapter 32 Chapter 31 Promise

Three days later, things did not go smoothly in the direction Nasar expected.When Prince Dan rushed into Nasser's mansion with his people, he had already prepared sufficient evidence, each of which pointed to Nasser. Every dispute that Nasar and Ikur had had before—even if most of them were normal discussions—had been dug up and sorted out as evidence of Nasar’s tit-for-tat confrontation.In addition, Prince Dan actually found Ikur and Nasar's servants, and testified respectively that "it was Nasar who asked Prime Minister Ikur to go to his official residence" and "Nasar had been very fond of Prime Minister Ikur a long time ago." Dissatisfied" and stuff like that.

If things go on like this, once the Hittite envoy leaves, Nasar will be imprisoned in the bottom hell soon.But if Prince Ruo Dan is determined to put him to death, his life will be greatly threatened. In the nick of time, things took a huge turn. The last thing Nasar and Ivy received was a piece of paper from Adad Nilari I who decided to execute Sinna. While the investigation of the governing hall was going on, and the matter was still a little unclear, Sinna jumped out and admitted that he had killed Ikur elsewhere, and used his privileges to find a way to transport the body to the palace. To put the blame on Nasar.Sinna has always been Nasar's confidant, and when this incident came out, there was an uproar in the palace.Adad Nilari I's political style is very tough, and he immediately sent people to collect evidence.Thanks to Sinner's cooperation, the collection of clues was unexpectedly simple.Although the motive is unclear, the executor is undoubtedly Sinner.So the ruling hall immediately decided to execute Sinner directly at noon the next day. The crimes were killing nobles, killing dignitaries, framing, and treason.

Because of Sinner's conviction, Nasar's house arrest was lifted at this moment. On that day, it was a sunny day.The daytime sunlight was extremely strong, and the body of the waiter who came to report the news turned into a black shadow that could not be seen through the strong white light at this moment. At that moment, in the eyes of others, the blow Nasar suffered from being betrayed by Sinna far exceeded the relaxation brought about by his easy escape, which was pitiful and worth understanding.What Ivy saw was Nasar's silence.You can't feel relaxed or depressed from him.He sat upright on a chair in the room, his hands clenched into fists and resting on his lap.He pursed his lips and said nothing.

Ivy sat down in the corner of the room, watching him in a daze, worried and anxious in her heart, but didn't know how to comfort him. While thinking, he suddenly spoke, and his still body made Ivy feel that the voice didn't come from him. "I picked Sinna back from the slums, and he has been with me for more than ten years." He turned his head, and there was a strange twist in the smile on the corner of his mouth. At that moment, Ivy seemed to suddenly understand something.She stood up suddenly and looked at him in disbelief. The breathing of each other in the room fluctuated, the air became tense, and the intense emotions seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.

Nasar raised his eyes, the corners of his slightly raised eyes were slightly reddish, and looked at Ivy, "So, no matter what I ask him to do, he has no complaints." Ivy was at a loss for words, and after breathing for a while, she managed to speak out: "You... would treat someone who has been loyal to me for so many years like this." She staggered back a few steps, shook her head, and then looked up as if she suddenly realized He started, "Well, sure enough, Komitor..." Nasar was startled for a moment, and then his voice dropped again, "Yes, so what?" He sighed, "I thought she was Pharaoh's distant cousin, and Ramses' relationship with her is not bad, More or less there will be some sympathy..."

He said coldly, but Ivy couldn't listen anymore, and slapped him hard in the face, loud and abrupt. After a long time, Ivy said: "Kmitor, she said that she has a foreigner she likes, and it must be you." When he said this, Nasar turned his head to the side and couldn't see his expression clearly.When he turned his head around, there was another look of indifference on his face.He wiped the corners of his mouth and continued: "But who do you think Ramses is? He has discovered my plan long ago, but he has been lurking all the time, not doing anything - not because he wants to give Komitor a chance, but Because if he strikes early, he will let us catch it. Until he finds the definite evidence that Komitor has provided me with information, and then locks her up with lightning speed, before everyone has time to react."

"Nazar, you!" "Do you think this matter has nothing to do with you?" Nasar growled back, "If she hadn't disregarded my warning and approached you, she would have been locked up by Ramses at most. But I I don’t know what happened to her, but I insisted on seeing you! Ramses may have cut off her hands and feet because he was afraid that she would abduct you from Egypt—do you think Kemitor is still alive? Before you reach Assyria, She bit her tongue and killed herself. You have such a suspicious and cruel brother, but you are so dull that people want to laugh."

Nasar who said these words seemed like a complete stranger.She just felt that her chest was being pressed hard by a huge stone. That day, what exactly did Ke Mituoer want to say to her, if she stopped and listened to her, it would be fine.Up to now, she has no way of knowing that passage anymore. "Although Kemitor is very pitiful, he was discovered by Ramses after all..." Nasar wanted to continue to say something, but suddenly, Ivy patted the table and stood up. "Enough!" Ivy looked at him, the anger in her blue eyes was filled with pity, "Isn't she important to you?"

Nasar was stunned for a while, then said, "Of course it's important." "But you can let people who are important to you take risks for your ambitions and lose their lives for you. But Mitor is like this, now, even Sinna, are you going to do the same? They leave you one by one , what do you have left at the end?" Nasar looked at Ivy for a long time.Just when Ivy thought he was going to change his mind and go out to find a way to rescue Sinna, he suddenly said: "Nefer Tali, you are too naive." Then he continued, "Sinna, Komitor, both I know what this is for. I want to change Assyria, so I must become the king of Assyria. This is something that will change the lives of tens of thousands of people." He stood up and took a step closer to Ivy, "Do you want Ever? If Dan succeeds to the throne, how will he squander the treasury? If the more cowardly prince succeeds, will our country still exist—they sacrificed for the country, and I will not let their lives go to waste!"

Ivy wanted to refute, but when she opened her mouth, she found that she couldn't say anything. Power is the temptation of how rotten fragrance floats, why they can completely abandon all their important things as soon as they come into contact with it, spare no effort, and do whatever it takes.She couldn't understand, but she couldn't comment either.So she didn't say any more, turned around and pulled up the scarf on the side, wrapped her hair around her, and walked outside.The guard in the shadow asked if he wanted to follow. Nasar hesitated for a while, and finally waved his hand, "She can't go anywhere, so don't worry about her."

As soon as he went out, the cool night wind blew up violently.His heart was beating wildly, his throat was choked, but his eyes were so dry that he couldn't shed a single tear.Feeling extremely depressed, he walked a few steps with his head down, only to see a man in black walking towards him in a hurry not far away. The two kept approaching, and Ivy quickly saw his impressive ice blue eyes clearly.But without giving her a chance to speak, he spoke first: "Where are you going?" "Something." She hesitated, then changed the subject, "About what we talked about last time..." "Why, do you want to date me?" "No, no. I want to talk to you about something." "I'm free to talk to you now." "But..." Ivy looked at the direction of Sinner's cell, gritted her teeth, "It's not convenient for me now." "Nefertali, I advise you not to intervene in the affairs of the Assyrian royal family." "I know..." Ivy paused for a moment, then raised her head abruptly, hearing this name belonging to another time and space clearly, she was so nervous that her palms were sweating and her hairs stood on end.Yali's face reflected the shining stars in the dark night, so beautiful that it was almost evil.He turned his head, his ice blue eyes seemed to penetrate time and space, looking at her quietly. "You, what did you call me just now?" He twitched the corners of his mouth and casually brought the subject aside, "It's nothing, didn't Sal call you that?" Hearing what he said, Ivy was relieved.But before he could figure out how to get out, he said, "Where are you going? I'll go with you." Without giving Ivy time to refuse, Yali walked to the place where Sinna was held before Ivy.Ivy had no choice but to follow behind, and encountered many obstacles along the way, but the permission of Nasar carried by Yali helped a lot.Finally came to the place where the key criminals were held on the west side of the palace. Yali stopped and handed the permission to Ivy, "I can't go any further. After all, I am the envoy of Hittite. Even with the prince's permission, I can't leave." Political prisoners cannot be visited at will.” Ivy nodded, accepted the permission, and thanked Yali.She was turning around to go in, but Yali grabbed her wrist again, "Politics is a very dirty thing. It's better if you don't know about many things." Ivy turned her head, looked straight back at Yali, and said softly but very clearly: "I can't control the affairs of those countries. Sinner is kind to me, and I don't want him to die." Her slightly upturned face, stubborn eyes and firm words, seemed to have seen her like this somewhere a long time ago.The look that made his heart beat, the look that broke his heart. Shui Lan's eyes are a little distracted - there are still things he hasn't recalled, his memory is incomplete. At this time, she nodded to him, broke free from his hand, turned around and walked towards the deep courtyard on the west side.Her figure gradually became smaller and then disappeared around the next corner.His fingertips still had the feel of her warm skin.However, that dazzling and brilliant color has disappeared from sight. She seems to remember everything.If so, why can't he feel a trace of nostalgia for her from her. Ivy strode towards the west side.The seemingly peaceful and harmonious small courtyard is guarded by guards everywhere.This is the place where the country's politically important criminals are held. It is not as cold and humid as a dungeon, nor is it as harsh and hot as a desert prison. But entering the prison here indicates that he is about to fall from the pinnacle of prosperity and politics to the abyss beyond redemption. Ivy took out Nasar's permission. It was a gold-encrusted bronze medal engraved with the patron saint of Assyria. The fine golden Assyrian text on the top was difficult for others to understand unless they were members of the aristocratic class, and it was impossible to copy it at all. .With this permission, she went all the way to the deepest part of the west courtyard. But it was still blocked at the door. "Sina Dory will be executed tomorrow, and His Royal Highness Dan has specifically stated that no one can meet with him." The guard said politely. "I have the permission of His Royal Highness Nasar." Ivy held up the token, and the feathers of the patron saint came to life under the moonlight. The guard was silent for a long time. Ivy then took out the gold that Cinna gave her as pocket money from her waist.She still clearly remembered that the man with the back like a dark cloud laughed like thunder, and insisted on giving her the gold, "Little girl, if you get lost alone, you can pay someone to bring you back in a soft sedan chair." .” But the guard didn't take it. Ivy panicked, "Take it, I won't tell anyone. I just want to thank him in person before he leaves." The guard looked at Ivy again, and turned sideways. Ivy froze for a moment, he lowered his head, looked to the other side, and said in a low voice: "General Sinner shouldn't die, he is such a good person..." At the end of the words, there seemed to be a bit of choking in the ending .Ivy bit her lip and walked in. Because it is the place where the "key criminals" are held, the room is cleaned quite cleanly.Lights, fine gold ornaments, feather beds, and so on.Sinner sat in the middle of the room, and at first glance seemed to be no different from usual, except for the thick, black iron chains tied around his wrists and ankles.Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned his head vigilantly, his usually energetic face was haggard, his eyes sunken deeply into their sockets, as if he had experienced countless things in one day. Seeing that it was Ivy, he couldn't hold back the surprise on his face, "Little girl, this is not where you should come." "I hate Nasar's approach, and I don't like his pretended indifference. But I have to admit, he really needs you." Ivy went straight to the point.When he met Nasar in Assyria for the first time, he should have known the news of Komitor's death.Yet he was still able to smile quietly and interrupt the matter.Sinner was arrested, and everything was handled by him behind the scenes, but he couldn't control his irritability, sadness and reluctance. Sinner is very important to Nasar. Sinner was taken aback for a moment, then grinned again, "Little girl, I, Sinner, did this. I don't regret it, and I don't want to deny it. I'm just sorry for Nasar, and I won't be able to accompany him in the future." "No, it's impossible." Ivy shook her head vigorously, "If you continue like this, then Thrall will definitely regret it in the future." Sinner hung his head. "Sina?" "Sina!" "Hey! Sinna, you want to let Nasar..." Sinner raised his head abruptly, his deep-set eyes were full of sadness and determination like a strong man cut his wrist, "Little girl, don't worry about our Assyrian affairs, go back to Nasar." "But..." Ivy said in the tiniest voice, "I just did what he wanted to do. If you die, he won't even have that chance." After a brief silence, the dark man roared, "Go back!" Ivy couldn't help taking a step back.Sinna looked at her with a complicated expression, but he didn't take back what he said, "You don't understand." "You don't understand. Even in order to achieve this goal, you don't have to die at all." After finishing speaking, she pulled out the small knife she carried with her and sharpened Sinna's iron chain vigorously.Da Wuyun was overwhelmed by her desperate aura, and didn't know how to react for a while.While hesitating, the guards outside seemed to hear them arguing, and the sound of weapons and footsteps rushed into the room through the narrow courtyard. Ivy still sharpened the chain with a knife. Noisy Assyrian was heard all around, and the soldiers held Ivy's arms. Ivy still tried her best to reach for the knife that had been snatched away long ago, and shouted: "Na Sal trusts you so much, why did you act according to Prince Dan's wishes!" The guards were taken aback, and one of them quickly hit her on the back with the back of a knife, and dragged her roughly to the door.Sinner looked at Ivy worriedly at first, and then lowered his head, as if nothing happened just now, and seemed to acquiesce to Ivy's words.At this time, Ivy added fuel and jealousy: "You made His Royal Highness Nasar so sad. You took the blame for Prince Dan and lost your life. Are you worth it..." Having said this, he was hit hard on the head again, his eyes were dark, and he lost consciousness immediately. The cell door slammed shut. Moonlight fell into the room through the window, leaving only the general's lonely shadow on the ground.The surroundings were instantly silent as death. Ivy was nearly thrown in jail.Fortunately, Nasar learned from Yali that Ivy might go to Sinna, and brought her back in time. A day in a coma passed in the blink of an eye.When he opened his eyes again, the whole of Assyria had undergone earth-shaking changes. The first is the escape of felon Sinner.Although he escaped death, that day became the darkest day in Assyria.The two pillars of the kingdom, the wise prime minister Yikur and the brave general Sinna, two important ministers who were in the sky, fell from the political arena one after another in less than three days.The reason turned out to be civil strife. And what happened next was even more surprising.Nasar severely impeached the arrogant prince on the grounds that Sinna was instigated and used by the second prince Enlil Kuduri Dan.Sinner's letter when he escaped stated that he was ashamed of Dan, and last night the guards also testified that they heard a foreign girl who was with Prince Nasar angrily scolded Sinner for listening to Dan's instigation. At this time, a group of courtiers who expressed their support for Nasar suddenly appeared in the court, and jointly accused Dan of killing the prime minister because of his hostility to the eldest prince. After the farce, Nasar became one of the most promising princes in the dynasty to inherit the throne overnight. And this farce was naturally carefully planned. When Ivy opened her eyes, she saw Nasar's beautiful face. With his usual sarcastic smile, he said, "You're so lazy, you can sleep like this." Ivy sat up and looked around, as if she couldn't understand what happened. "You are really good. You broke into our prison by yourself and slandered Brother Dan. I didn't know you in vain." "Where's Sinna?" Nasar reached out and handed over a bag, and simply explained: "Leaving the city of Assyria, this place is no longer safe." "What's wrong with Sina? You answer first." Handing over some bags, she interrupted her words, "He's fine. It just so happens that Yali is going back to Hittite, so you can go with him." Ai Wei scratched her head and took it for the time being. "Let's go." He urged, with a somewhat haughty expression on his daily life, he seemed to be a little more mature at this moment.Seeing Ivy struggling to stand up and walking towards the door unsteadily, he suddenly said again, "You..." Ivy turned around. He paused, walked over, reached out and took off a small black bag hanging around his neck, and handed it to Ivy. "You take this." "What is this?" Ivy opened the bag to find out.Nasar held her hand and stopped her. "You take this 'Key of Wind'." Nasar explained, "I'm not thanking you for this. This 'Key of Wind' is a promise." "promise?" "As long as I have this 'Key of Wind', I, Nasar Sayel, will spare no effort to fulfill one of your wishes." Ivy's surprised face was reflected in the dark eyes, the beautiful prince Nodding slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Thank you." His fingers couldn't help gripping the tiny bag tightly.Compared with the key to the secret treasure she got and Nasar's generous promise, knowing that Sinna was indeed safe and well and Nasar's relief made her happier. As soon as my heart relaxed, a shallow arc was drawn at the corner of my mouth, "Yeah." Nasar turned his head, and hurriedly said: "Be careful about the key of the secret treasure. I don't know how many people in all of Western Asia are watching this matter." Ivy nodded. "After three months, if I'm still alive, you can come and join me." He looked at Ivy with stone-like black eyes, "In that case, I will definitely take good care of you, as long as it takes. It will be better than Ramesh S or something, much better." Ivy smiled, and replied mischievously: "If you are really desperate, it is not impossible for me to take you in." The two looked at each other and smiled. They knew each other well that the time to say goodbye had finally arrived. He raised his head and said softly: "I will bring Komitor back to me. One day, Assyria will meet Egypt in arms." He looked at Ivy, half bent down, and kissed as usual Kissing her on the cheek, "But then, I will never harm you, or your descendants. Our children will meet again somewhere, just as we met before Deir Medina." "Maybe, they will be like us, regardless of politics, knowing each other and trusting each other." Nasar nodded slightly, "Well, maybe, it will be like this." The city of Assyria has already ignited a war without gunpowder. The outcome of the war would see Adad Nilari I's fourth crown prince, Salma Nasar Sayir, reign over Assyria.His rule laid the foundation for the rapid growth of Assyria, so that a few years later, he stepped on the heads of Hittite and Egypt and ruled Western Asia. When Ivy left, she didn't think so much. Nasar just teased her as usual, and personally sent her out of the palace.Under the steady and slightly frivolous smile, there is a turbulent ambition and a force driven by strong hatred.He lost his best friend Sinna, his beloved Komitor, and his dearest relative Nortalan.Everything is for the realization of his layout and his plan. History is like this, rumbling forward, pushing people's destiny forward.Those who want to stand on the huge waves of history and control their lives must always learn to give up.This is true for Ramses, and so is Nasar.When Nasar lost everything he valued around him, he also abandoned the precious time he should have enjoyed as a prince. Sometimes Ivy would think of the last words that Nasar said to her when they parted. "I really like gems, and the key to collecting secret treasures is just for fun. Do you... believe it?" At that time, Ivy looked at him suspiciously, so he smiled, but finally didn't speak again.But after a long time, Ivy believed it.Since that farewell, Nasar's life has been turned upside down.He has chosen a route to help him climb to the summit. After a long time, he read his name in the history books, and there is no trace of the relaxed, cheerful and joyful prince in the words.
