Chapter 222 Companion to a king is like a tiger

"You really want to know?" Xerxes straightened up, his narrowed eyes flashed dangerously.Melody flinched a little, as if she knew that there was no way out.

"Hehe, don't worry," Xerxes smiled, and snapped his fingers at the door, "Come here! Prepare some snacks."

Melody had a premonition from the vague sneer on the corner of his raised lips that there was definitely something strange in that "snack".So he quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, thank you for the dinner, Your Majesty, I, I'm really full..."

Unexpectedly, Xerxes did not continue this topic at all, but spit out an irrelevant sentence suddenly: "I know what you are."

Melody's heart trembled, she was terrified.I know what you are... Although this seems to be an innocuous and even illogical statement, Melody, who tried to "be a thief", is very guilty.He, he, he, he should know, I am a mermaid!

--what!

The reason why Melody exclaimed in her heart was because Xerxes suddenly pinched his face!Melody felt that this seemingly frail young man actually had a pair of vicious eyes that could see through his inner activities, but she didn't know what he wanted to do in the next second.It is unknown whether he really wants to "befriend" himself, or whether he wants to kill himself at any time.

Melody stood there, not daring to move, until Xerxes gently stroked his delicate face with his fingertips, and his tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

"Like, you are very similar to him...the more you look at it, the more you look like it..." Xerxes looked at Melody's blue eyes, as if caught in some kind of long-term memory.

"Like someone...I, like who!" Melody had a hunch that the person he was talking about was the person he had been wanting to know about.At this moment, regardless of the disparity in status between the two, he also wanted to ask Jiu Jing.

"Come with me..." Xerxes' finger left his cheek, touched Melody's little hand, pulled him together, walked slowly to the stone steps under the throne and sat down.Melody was eager to know the answer, so she didn't resist, and sat obediently beside him.The next second, Xerxes actually leaned his head on Melody's shoulder, and the "flattered" Melody straightened her stiff back like that, letting him lean on it.

As if reluctant to let go of Melody, Xerxes rubbed and circled the sensitive soft flesh of his palm with his fingers: "When I was 16 years old, I just entered the palace not long ago. At that time, my uncle hadn't been summoned yet. Me. One day, I was walking alone in the huge royal court, and suddenly I saw... just like we are now, sitting on the steps, a very beautiful man, he was weeping, his eyes were red Yes, they are all swollen from crying. His hair is messy, and the clothes on his body are also like a piece of rag that has just been torn, barely covering his body that has just been brutally ravaged. I took a look at the scars, I will never forget it, because soon, they also appeared on me. Now, can you guess his identity?"

Melody had a premonition, but he didn't say it directly, he just asked in a trembling voice: "Is, is he, your uncle, the former King of Persia's... sex slave?"

Xerxes nodded: "He was sitting there alone, very sad and very sad. But when he saw me walking over, maybe he was afraid of scaring me, so he barely wiped away his tears, raised his head and smiled at me. I will always remember , that smile was very gentle. He was the first person to smile at me since I entered the Persian royal court, so I will always remember him. He waved to me and asked me to sit beside him like this, leaning my head against his shoulder, and then whispered to me 'it's all right, you're just lost, everything will be fine my child', his hand, too, drew circles in my palm, making me feel at ease, letting me For a moment, I actually felt that it was good to be in the palace..."

Melody had already guessed who that person was. He imagined the picture of two helpless poor people leaning against each other for warmth, and couldn't help but shed tears: "Then, what then?"

"Then?" Xerxes, who was still infinitely gentle just now, suddenly went mad, grabbed Melody's thin shoulders fiercely, as if trying to break his bones, and roared with protruding eyes , "Then of course I was killed! I was tortured by that devil until my last breath!"
