Boudicca, the Chariot Queen of Britain and later passed down as the Queen of Victory, was not as great as everyone inherited her.
At least that's what Boudica thought.
She is just an ordinary wife and mother, but because she did not give birth to a male heir, she can only take over the authority of the king after her husband dies.
In her words, "I am not a woman with the courage to become a king".
Later, when Britain was conquered by Rome, her two daughters were dragged in front of her and insulted by the men, while she was tied up and beaten while helplessly watching her daughters struggle in front of her...
After that day, the seeds of hatred were planted.
The fire of hatred, even just a little bit, can turn into a prairie fire. What's more, what burned in Boudica's heart at that time was not just a small flame, but an explosion of flames that reached the sky.
Everyone knows the last thing.
She was stupid, did not know how to adapt, and was not familiar with military strategy. She only relied on indomitable determination to end the uprising. In the end, the uprising failed. She and her daughter both died on the battlefield.
The story told by Boudica was not much different from the story Yagi Xuezai heard. So he could not understand why Boudica could still tell this story so calmly.
If you apply this story to other people, it will definitely arouse intense hatred, right? Maybe she will become a berserker with hatred for Rome or something. I didn't expect her to be so normal, and I didn't expect that she would be so calm.
Staying in Rome, the capital of the Roman Empire?!
"Well...if you want to say why this is like this...probably, as a heroic spirit, you have to look away, right?"
She smiled slightly, vaguely showing helplessness and tolerance.
The moment you become a heroic spirit, the human part has no meaning anymore.
Moreover, now she was summoned to the land of Rome as a servant and gained relevant basic knowledge. She knew the greatness of the Roman Empire.
Not from the perspective of a woman, a wife, a mother, or the Queen of Britain, but from the perspective of the entire history of mankind.
Moreover, it can also be seen that it was not the instruction of Emperor Nero, but the arbitrary atrocities committed by his subordinates.
"Hey, Yagi-kun...right? You also participated in the celebration today, right?"
"Although it's just the ending, I did participate."
"How do you feel?"
"..."
For a moment, he couldn't figure out what she wanted to ask him. Yagi Xuezai was thinking about various answers in his mind, trying to find a response that was absolutely safe and would not touch Boudica's [Thunder Point]. Unfortunately, he was just a
A magician, not a psychologist or language master, thought for a long time and finally uttered two words.
"bustling."
This is the first feeling.
"Yes, it is prosperous. Everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone can laugh from the bottom of their hearts. This is Rome. Looking at the smiles of people and the smiles of children... I put down my sword and said secretly
For a moment, I was actually planning to assassinate Nero at the beginning. But...how could I...take away the children's smiles with my own hands?"
Boudica smiled at him. Yagi Xuezai's life experience was not enough for him to understand the helplessness and sadness in this smile.
A mother who has lost two children, even if they are the children of enemies, it is difficult for her to wield a knife. Her own Britain has become like this, and she understands that the people are innocent. She cannot tolerate wielding a knife against the innocent people of Britain.
Roman army.
But what if she killed Nero, the emperor of the Roman Empire? Maybe she did feel relaxed and killed her enemy. But Rome without the emperor would definitely be in chaos. How many children would be displaced in the chaotic Roman Empire? Those
Who will the child resent? Of course, this hatred will still be attributed to her, the Queen of Britain.
Boudica finally chose to let go of her hatred and hid it deeply.
Yes, just hidden.
"You are so great. Not everyone can be so open-minded."
"It's open-minded... Haha... Is that what you think?"
Boudica smiled bitterly again.
Probably, only she will know whether she has really forgiven Rome or whether she is simply evading her responsibility as a queen to take revenge.
After all... among the skills she holds, there is a skill called [Swear to the Goddess]. Swearing revenge to the goddess Andrast will cause huge damage to all servants with attributes related to [Rome].
This skill is similar to Siegfried's Dragon Slayer.
With this skill, Boudica knew very well that if he really let go of his hatred for Rome, he would not have this skill. This skill itself shows that he has not let go yet...
"However, it's boring to hear an old woman like me talk about such boring topics at night, right?"
She smiled and changed the topic with a smile.
Yagi Xuezai looked at her face. It was the face of a young woman who looked to be in her twenties or thirties. It had nothing to do with the word "old". No matter how you looked at it, she was at the age when she was beautiful.
"What you want to hear is about this singularity, right?"
She casually turned the topic to what Yagi Xuezai was curious about.
"……Yes."
I have to admit that I came here just to hear something special.
"By the way, Leonidas hasn't spoken since the beginning?"
Yagi Xuezai suddenly noticed that the guard beside him was like a bronze statue, standing silently beside him, and he felt a bit like the angry-eyed King Kong in the Buddha statue.
"No, I'm a guard, there's no need to say anything more. And...I'm not such a delicate person."
A slightly dull answer came from under Leonidas' helmet. Because through the helmet, his face could not be seen at all.
There was a war between the Spartans and the Persians. In order to stop the invaders, Leonidas personally led 300 elite soldiers and commanded 7,000 miscellaneous troops from other city-states to resist the enemy at Thermopylae.
The king who tried his best finally died in a foreign country.
If you ask Leonidas if he hates Persia, you will probably get an answer similar to Boudica.
Leonidas did not hate Persia.
But the reasons are different.
For a warrior, it's either kill or be killed. Nothing else.
It's just that the Persian army was large in number at that time, that's all.
If there were ten thousand Spartan troops fighting against Persia, the situation would be different.
Hate... but not hate. He is very open-minded on this point.
If asked, he would like to have another war with the Persian army and King Xerxes of Persia. However, this is only the passion of the warrior, not hatred.
"Sorry, it seems like I asked something boring."
Yagi Yusei apologized consciously.
"No, Master. It's good to be thoughtful, and it's much better than a rough guy like me."
To be fair, Leonidas envied Yagi Yussai.
Because Spartans are guys with brains and muscles who only know how to fight and kill.
Even himself...cough cough cough.
In short, the Spartans would never have imagined that they would take advantage of their master's sleep to finish asking these cruel and bloody topics, and leave some information suitable for girls without the bloody and cruel elements for tomorrow.
.
"Thank you cough."
Yagi Xuezai smiled, looked at Boudica, and motioned for her to start introducing the Roman singularity.
