I am a tragic person, and the skull will be dyed bright red.
Make it as colorful as my happy period.
To dress me up like a married bride,
When burial, the veil should be covered on the head—
At the age of seventeen, she is still a girl who reads love poems in the garden of the palace when she is very bored.
She is the pearl in the palm of King Smerdis and the most beautiful iris in the Kingdom of Sogdia. Every year, many envoys of marriage proposals go to the court, hoping to marry this flower for their country.
But she was never inside the wall. She had a strong interest in horse riding and hunting since she was a child, and she was deeply outward in weapons and armor.
She even hoped that she would be a man so that she could become a general, jumping on the battlefield, leaping on horseback and galloping across the battlefield.
But she is not. Her life can only become a bargaining chip for marriage and stable rule like her sisters, going to a prominent family and living her ordinary life.

At the age of nineteen, everything changed with the rise of a kingdom.
A small kingdom called Achaemenid defeated the most powerful Lydia Empire among the countries of Vrashkad with an incredible record. She heard some strange rumors from the rumors in the palace, such as Achaemenid defeating the 500,000 army with only 20,000 people, such as the king of this country was a god born in the world...
She scoffed at this superstitious nonsense. In this world where people generally believe in gods, many kings once claimed to be the descendant god or the son of god.
But it turns out that a hundred years later, they are just a handful of loess like other mortals.
At least in her opinion, there are no living gods in this world. Even if there are really gods, they are still gods hanging high above the white clouds.
But there is one thing she can confirm that as this miracle happens, many things will change.
The subsequent development proved that she was not wrong.
Things have indeed changed. She was originally arranged to marry the prince of the Lydia Empire, but now she needs to go to the new Achaemenid Empire.
It was not until then that she knew her future husband, the legendary god of humanity, named Artaxerxes, and the incarnation of the Creator Ahura Mazda.
——————
She was very uneasy when she left her hometown, and was more confused and afraid of the future. As the marriage team gradually entered the territory of the Achaemenid Empire, she also heard more rumors about the Son of God.
It is said that he was not the parent-child of the old king, but a strange baby brought back from the top of the holy mountain.
It is said that it took only five years for this Son of God to grow up from being carried back to being a man.
It is said that he has a completely different body shape from mortals and has a terrifying power. He killed the five hundred most powerful and brave noble warriors of the Lydia Empire with one force on the battlefield, and tore up nearly one hundred assassins with bare hands in an assassin.
It is said that he once married a wife four years ago, and that wife was his nominal sister. Of course, this is very common among the kingdoms, and one of her sisters married her brother. (The characteristics of Strawberry Teaching must be tasted)
It is said that few people can understand every word he said. This Son of God seems to have superb knowledge naturally. The rise of the Achaemenid Empire is inseparable from the many machinery and weapons he invented.
These true or false rumors made her feel restless, so that to outsiders, she seemed to be depressed.
After half a month of trekking, the team arrived at Polis, the capital of the Achaemenid Empire.
As soon as she entered this city, she felt many places that were different from her hometown.
The wide avenue is shrouded in shade, with white and golden buildings on both sides, and lush branches hanging down on the street, full of bright fruits.
Since the city is located on a plateau of thousands of meters above sea level, the sun is warm and pleasant, and from time to time a gentle wind swept across the bustling streets.
The residents of the capital were all tall, healthy and plump, and they warmly welcomed their new queen, which made her feel a little relaxed.
Along the way, she saw many magical objects she had never seen before, such as four-wheeled metal cars, lights that could light up without oil and fire, huge glass windows on both sides of the street and incredibly exquisite handicrafts, strange tubular weapons in the hands of the guards and huge boxes that could make sounds and music.
These things subverted her common sense and gradually turned her worries into a strong curiosity
That person created it all?
The team continued along the cleared street and walked into a wide square, the open-air area was a perfect circle.
Many streets and alleys extend from the square, while the center of the square is occupied by a tall stone pillar. At the top is a brazier, and its square base is engraved with magnificent reliefs, depicting the scene of a winged god handing a baby to a king.
As she gradually penetrated into the interior of Polis, she realized that the rumors about the city were by no means false, and it was indeed a glorious city composed of spectacular buildings, open squares, active theaters and beautiful gardens.
The snow-capped mountains in the distance and the ancient acropolis provide it with a stunning background, with various statues and silver spires overlooking all living beings.
In any other city, such a strong building will appear abrupt, but these spires can blend in harmony with the surrounding landforms, as if they are part of those mountains.
At the top of each spire there is a burning sacred fire, representing the faith of the city.
It is said that this city was designed by him.

The team entered the palace, which was more quiet and deeper than the city outside.
The huge golden sedan parked at the main entrance of the palace, and a group of people were already waiting there.
She saw a bald eunuch wearing a long-sleeved shirt with wide belt on her waist and fluffy trousers on her lower body. Her draped folds covered her feet and calves. She hung her short cloak on her back and fixed it with a round buckle. She wore a red hat and white shoes. She walked over.
Then the eunuch walked up in small steps, knelt down, turned his face sideways, held one hand on his knee, and raised the edge of the golden sedan chair with the other hand, and said in a slight voice:
"Iris in the mountains, the pearl of the sea, the beautiful and noble Princess Elena Alcalas, I am your most humble and respectful servant, and I will lead you to meet your Majesty later."
Although she didn't know what he was called, she probably knew that she should be a court chief, so she nodded slightly through the veil and said softly:
“Great.”
As she said that, the two maids who were with her lifted the tent and walked out of the sedan chair step by step on the cushion.
Then the eunuch waved his hand gently to the back, and immediately walked up to four dark-skinned strong men in short shirts. They were carrying a pair of smaller silver sedan chairs, and she immediately walked in.
In the hands of the four strongmen, the sedan chair had almost no ups and downs, but her heart was already full of waves.
What exactly will he look like?
How would he view himself? A spoil? Or a tool for marriage?
In extreme anxiety, she felt the sedan chair shake.
Arrived at the place-
"Princess, you have arrived, please get out of the sedan chair."
