You have seen me as unclothed, so you have only two ways to go. Either you kill the king, marry me, and become the ruler of Lydia; or you die here now.

——The King of Lydia, Edolus, instigated the minister Gejiz to peep at his queen, and the queen called Gejiz to come the next day, and said so, and finally Gejiz chose the former

Hebrida dragged the empty chair and sat on it, then tilted his lips and stared at the four ladies for a while, as if they were statues of lifelessness. Finally, he stood up and pushed one of them with his hands. The one who fell stiffly on the floor like a statue, frightened the people present, and the sissy slave even screamed softly.

"Sure enough, those who speak Greek are poor people. They are not as good as prostitutes on the battlefield, and they only spend their energy on some ridiculous sports meetings." Hebrida did not forget to tease her, and then he took out a piece of amber with words from behind the body of the noble lady and threw it to "sissy", meaning that he could translate.

"This, the noble lady's name is Rosanna. She said on this that she was the sister of the king of Bendu... and the wife of the king. When the palace was broken, she had no time to escape with the king, in order to avoid falling into the barbarian..."

"Continue reading."

"Yes, in order to avoid falling into the hands of the barbaric Romans, the kind king left behind the chief eunuch Balode, responsible for helping them, and ending their lives in a way that was free from pain. I praise my brother, who has not forgotten me in such a critical moment, and I will never be afraid of death, nor will I live in the world with humiliation and stigma."

After listening to the text on the amber, Hebrida shrugged, then called Li Bida and the sissy, and took out the amber pieces tied behind the other three noble ladies in turn, and learned their identities: Mitradati's other sister, Stitanna, and the amber pieces she left were full of curses and grievances; Princess Belinai, who was the princess, said that the amount of poison she swallowed was insufficient and could not make her die happily. Li Bida looked at her face, her tongue stretched out long, and the marks on her neck seemed to be on the verge of time. It seemed that Balode helped her with a rope in order to hurry.

Sitting in the middle was Monime, the princess from Bieldus. No message before her death was left on her amber piece, but it said, "I hate the crown of this queen, and it refused to help me even the last little busy. I was born a spoil, and I felt very lucky to die in this way. The truth of life has long been stripped away, and the real pleasure only exists in the world after death."

Li Bida didn't understand what Monime meant for a moment, but Hebrida was very excited when she heard the "Queen's Crown". He found what Monime said from behind the ivory ring chair - a small pure gold crown covered with gems and agate, and the belt on it was broken.

At this time, Li Bida saw a ribbon wrapped around Moni's fair neck, and blood oozed out from it, dyeing her silk robe a large piece red. She probably understood: the princess refused to take poison. Perhaps she didn't want her appearance to become swollen by the poison after death, so she hanged herself with the belt of the crown, but the belt was broken. This is what she said in the amber sheet. Then Li Bida saw a sharp knife with blood dripping on the desk - it should have been given to her by Baloud, or Baloud took action directly, cutting Monimei's throat, and ending this beautiful life.

Just as Li Bida reasoned, Hebrida had a dispute with several other dozen men, surrounding Monime's extremely expensive crown.

"This is worth at least one hundred thousand drachmas, enough for us to buy luxurious villas in Rome, Campenia or any place in Afilica, one set for each person." This is Highbrida's point of view.

The tenth husband named Fantu shouted: "Herbrida, who is always low, you are crazy. We come here to search for the spoils that suit our identities. This kind of crown must belong to the commander or the commander of the legion, and we have no right to keep it privately."

Hebrida grabbed Vantu's collar: "Tuna Lukulas? Reckless Serkdelius? No, no, they have enough, and we have been in this damn continent for seven years, seven years - my wife is still waiting for me to send money back, my slaves are old or dead, and my salary is only five hundred a year Seth withdrew from me, you Vantu, only three hundred and fifty, and the income of a year is not enough to buy half a Gaul slave - do you want your wife to sell her to those free slaves who have opened stores to support your life?"

Another ten-husband named Safano drew his sword, cut off Belinai's arm with one sword, pulled down her bracelet, raised it to Hebrida and said, "This thing is worth at least 3,000 to 5,000 Seth's, enough for us to buy ten slaves. Now Hebrida, please give up this crown."

Hebrida also drew his sword and said, "You humble people have only these humble wishes! You deserve to be crowded in a small dirty apartment with no clean water, but I don't have any. I participated in this war to make a fortune. I won't be like a hyena, because a little bit of carrion will like to bark."

"I'm afraid that when Utaris finds out, you won't even be a hyena. The third wing's action tonight is a private action that is separated from the command of the Legion, and you have deceived the other soldiers of the Sixth Battalion. We might be executed by a throat cut, and we will definitely do it." Fan Tu's emotions were also excited.

At this time, Hebrida saw the crowd's emotions and his tone became eased, "It's okay, that guy Utaris is not in the barracks, I have direct command. Look, Mitrada has already slipped away. They just missed the military opportunity. We are the heroes of the war."

One of the older ten-husbands named Aminius shouted in an urgent tone: "Take this damn crown aside for the time being! The legion should have noticed what is going on here now, and there should be countless rooms behind the palace waiting for us to search, and we are almost out of time. The proverb says, get what you can get first."

Arminius's words resonated. Hebrida nodded and said to Van Tu and another person named Batiatus, "You two are guarding the hall with this strange slave from Asia. If anyone else comes, delay the time." After that, Hebrida pulled the sissy slave, Arminius, and another ten-man captain, through the hall and went to the inner room of the palace.

Now, there are only three people in the hall, including Fantu, Batitas and Li Bida, and four bodies.
