Looking at Soshyan, who was still burly in the regular uniform of the battle group, Elena, who was dressed in black mourning clothes, had calm eyes, and then she turned her eyes to Veronica on Soshyan's right.
In fact, Soshyan had been busy for two days before he remembered to come to visit Elena. Originally, he wanted to come alone, but when he heard that he was coming to visit Elena, Veronica had to come with her life or death. There was nothing he could do
nothing.
"Don't be so reckless next time. You carry the expectations and future of countless people."
Soshiyang nodded, and after pondering for a moment, he said:
"Queen Elena, there is something I want to know."
"Say it."
"How did the original body discover the gray marrow?"
Elena shook her head.
"I didn't know that."
"So did he talk to you about some... qualities of Greymarrow?"
"I've told you everything you know."
Soshyan thought for a while and finally decided to test the other party.
"I...met Chagatai Khan in Comoros."
Elena's eyes moved slightly, but she still maintained an elegant demeanor, with her hands folded in front of her belly motionless.
"Oh, that's really a rare thing. Chagatai has been missing for a long time. He had a good relationship with His Majesty back then, and he often moved around after returning to the empire."
After saying that, a faint smile appeared on Elena's face.
"What did he say to you?"
"He said... He said that Gray Marrow may not only be related to the Star God."
Elena nodded.
"Actually, I can't tell you anything, but His Majesty used to like to hear a story."
"story?"
"A long time ago, Ctesiphon was an extremely prosperous and beautiful world, and people lived a prosperous and happy life. But one day, disaster suddenly struck. The sky was obscured by persistent dark clouds, and the earth was shrouded in darkness. All kinds of monsters and demons
Emerging from the earth, cities were destroyed one after another, farmland and grasslands turned into dead deserts, and people continued to refuse to seek refuge in the mountains... Just when everyone was desperate, a dazzling comet passed through the sky, breaking through
Dense dark clouds opened up, creating a large silver lake when falling. Then Ahura Mazda spread his wings and rose from the lake, destroying monsters and demons, bringing light to mankind, and then fell into
While sleeping, people began to believe in the bright Mazda, and believed that when the end came again, Mazda would summon the savior, land on the earth, and ignite a fire. At that time, all rocks and metals would melt into slurry and form
Rolling torrent of scorching heat, the final battle with the devil."
As she said that, she looked at Soshyan and blinked.
"Soshiyan, your name means savior in Ctesiphon."
Soshiyang frowned slightly. He had never asked his parents about the meaning of giving him this name, but when the other party said this, there was some element of "arrangement" in it.
And from this story, he vaguely captured something, but he didn't intend to say these words now.
"Thank you so much for sharing this story with me."
At this moment, the communicator on Soshyan's collar suddenly rang. A few seconds after he connected it, he immediately said to Elena:
"I have an urgent report to deal with, so I'll take my leave first."
Elena nodded slightly, then turned to Veronica.
"Veronica, I have something to say to you. Can you delay for a moment?"
Veronica didn't say anything and nodded, so Soshyan turned and left Elena's mansion to deal with things, while Veronica followed Elena to an exquisite cabin.
This seems to be a teahouse, with a spacious balcony, white and soft carpets on the floor, sunlight penetrating through the curtains, bringing warmth, and paired with white luxury furniture, it is an atmosphere that can make people relax.
"sit down."
With a wave of her hand, Elena sat down on a chair next to the round tea table. Her mourning dress looked out of place in the room, but Veronica's clerical nun's ceremonial dress blended in better.
After she sat down gently, a maid brought the teapot and teacups and filled the two cups, while another maid quickly brought exquisite desserts.
Although she knew that the other party must be unhappy with her, Veronica was not afraid of her poisoning. She picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then looked at the other party.
"Mrs. Elena, do you have something to say to me?"
Elena, who was also drinking tea, raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Veronica's black hair, which was braided and wrapped around the back of her head. This is the most common hairstyle for married women in Nathan No. 4.
And as a woman, she is far more sensitive than the Space Marines in some aspects. Veronica's body, eyebrows and eyes are obviously different from before, as if she has changed from the young girl in the past to a mature woman.
So she put down the cup and said calmly:
"He has now returned to the battle group. Regardless of your current relationship with him, you need to keep a distance, and don't flirt with him at all times. The soldiers will be confused."
"I am currently...the chief clerical assistant to the Chapter Master. To use a more popular term, I should call...the secretary? So it is normal to follow him, right? We haven't done anything extraordinary."
"Didn't you do anything extraordinary? Including using a secret passage to connect your two bedrooms together?"
Hearing this, Veronica sneered and put down the tea cup.
"Ha, when did Madam Elena have the hobby of snooping into other people's private lives?"
"Soshiyang has a very important mission to complete and cannot be interfered with by other things. Your presence here as an Eldar is already out of line. I don't want his prestige and reputation to be affected by other things in the future.
"
After hearing this, Veronica also had a look of anger on her face, so she said sarcastically:
"Oh? So has anyone said this to the great Xerxes in the past? I guess there must be, such as keeping him away from his fragile wife? After all, how can a primarch love a mortal woman?"
"you!"
Elena slapped the table and stood up, Veronica also stood up immediately. The atmosphere between the two parties suddenly became extremely tense, and even the curtains on the balcony began to automatically move without wind.
However, Veronica quickly suppressed the anger in her heart. She knew that there was no point in breaking out into a conflict with the other party, so she said in a calm voice:
"Mrs. Elena, you are the mother of the Legion and the wife of the original body. The soldiers respect you. Soshyan respects you very much, so I must respect you too, but I also hope you can understand that Soshyan is
Soshyan, he is not the original body Xerxes. The original body is dead. If you have any unrealistic extravagant hopes, it is best to give them up, otherwise you will only hurt yourself."
After saying that, her expression returned to its original gentleness, she straightened the slightly wrinkled skirt with her hands, and then nodded.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."
Seeing the back of Veronica Shi Shiran leaving, Elena clenched her fists, suddenly shouted, and waved her hands violently.
The tea table and the utensils on it were suddenly overturned by invisible force, hit the wall hard and became shattered. The sound immediately alerted other people in the mansion, and soon the maids walked in with their heads lowered.
"lady....."
After taking a few deep breaths to calm down the raging anger in her heart and the jealousy she was unaware of, Elena waved her hand and said:
"It's okay, you guys clean up."
After that, Elena left here, leaving behind a mess and the maid looking at each other.
