The Troubles of the Holy Maiden [Comprehensive]
Chapter 40 The price of growth
The Urukum Colosseum was completed a month ago, and Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk, sat on a high throne overlooking the audience and the lowermost field.Looking at the enthusiastic audience and warriors in the arena, the young and handsome king smiled at Fran, who was sitting in the second seat: "I thought you would veto this plan, kind and just Lord Flanam."
Fran, who has become the head of Uruk's civil servants, glanced at the narrow-minded Wang, and said with a calm smile, "As long as the fighters are voluntary, I have nothing to criticize."
The young Wang sneered: "A slave who doesn't even belong to himself is desperately fighting for a chance of freedom. How bright and beautiful is the blood shed to fight against fate!"
Fran frowned slightly, and then stretched it out: "Even so, this provides them with a chance to get rid of their fate, doesn't it? Some people, as long as they are given a little chance, they can overcome their fate and even turn the whole world upside down !"
Gilgamesh looked at Fran unexpectedly, and said, "That doesn't seem like something a civil servant would say. Are you implying me that you are rebellious?"
Fran raised the corners of her lips, revealing a beautiful smile, taking advantage of her jade-like face, her whole body seemed to be shining.
Several noble girls secretly peeking at Fulan blushed instantly, and even the guards guarding the side had their hearts pounding, sighing secretly at the charm of this lord.
The young king glanced at the aristocratic girls and young boys beside him who were overflowing with enthusiasm, felt a little uncomfortable for no reason, and couldn't help curling his lips.
Fran didn't care about the chaotic scene because of her own smile. She stared at the dazed King of Uruk and said seriously, "It's not so much a rebellion, it's better to say it's the backbone that supports the soul."
Gilgamesh leaned on the back of the throne, stroked the smooth fur of the lion at his feet, and said with a light smile: "So you admire such a person more! Even if you are controlled by a sad fate, even if your whole body is affected Are you a fighter who is stuck in the quagmire, but still maintains a strong ego and constantly fights against fate?"
Fran smiled implicitly, and replied softly: "I just prefer interesting souls." After Fran finished speaking, she glanced lightly at a flaxen-haired long-haired guard behind the King of Uruk.Suddenly asked: "Speaking of the Colosseum, there seems to be a rumor among the people. I wonder if Wang You has heard of it?"
The young Wang turned his attention: "Oh? What kind of rumors?"
Fran continued: "It is said that there was a huge mud beast in the wilderness outside the Shanzhi Forest. It had power comparable to that of a god. It is said that it was a bit better than you as the son of God." Fran glanced at the lying on the ground. The lion at Gilgamesh's feet said softly: "You who love to compete with wild beasts, don't you know that you are interested in him?"
Gilgamesh sneered softly: "Who is interested in competing with wild beasts?! Without wisdom and rationality, no matter how powerful you are, you are just reduced to weapons and tools."
Fran smiled implicitly, and turned her gaze back to the field.
--------------------
"Fran." The young man with long flaxen hair and dressed as a guard found Fran. He was the disguised Enkidu.
"How is it? Enkidu, have you already thought about it? Do you want to warn Gilgamesh?" Fran asked directly when she saw Enkidu coming and put a sound-proof barrier around her.
Enkidu shook his head and said softly: "He is an ideal king, tolerant and fair, thoughtful, and highly respected. Maybe the gods misunderstood him. I can't find anything worthy of warning about him. Now he I have moved from an unstable childhood to maturity, and I think there is no room for me."
Fran nodded: "Then what are you going to do? Go back and return Goddess Alulu?"
Enkidu sighed: "I think, for the time being, go back to Shanzhi Forest to visit our friend Humbaba. I haven't seen her for two years. I don't know if she will be angry."
Fran said with a smile: "Fumbaba has a very gentle temper. Even if he gets awkward for a while, he won't really get angry. Well, since you decided to leave the palace, I don't need to stay here anymore. You can ask the guards first. If the team quits, I will also go and ask Gilgamesh to resign."
Enkidu was a little surprised: "Are you going to give up your position in Uruk? You have worked hard for so long, gained such a reputation and the love of so many people. Are you going to give up these?"
Fran said inexplicably: "However, I came to Uruk as an official to let you get close to the wedge of the sky. It's just to govern the city and win people's hearts. It's not my goal." Fran gently He patted Enkidu on the shoulder: "Don't think too much, no matter how much power, status and reputation in this world, it doesn't mean much to me, it's just a way to pass the time. Since you don't plan to stay in The Wedge of the Sky is being monitored here, and if you have no other arrangements, maybe we can take a casual trip. You haven’t seen the world outside Uruk and the Shanzhi Forest yet!”
Enkidu's eyes lit up: "Travel? Great, I'm looking forward to it."
------------------
A few days later, Fran went to see Gilgamesh.
At this time, Jill was looking at Uruk's tax report for this month. When she saw Fran coming, she smiled and said, "What's the matter, my dear teacher, are you here to monitor whether your poor student has completed his homework on time?"
Fran shook her head and said to Gilgamesh, "Gill, I'm here to find you on a business matter."
Gilgamesh had some bad premonition inexplicably, he put down the clay tablet in his hand, stood up and walked in front of Fran.In the past few years, the young Wang has grown a lot taller. He has grown from a child who was just above Fulan's waist to a young monarch who is taller than Fulan. Counting it, it only took five years.As for Fran, it was the same as five years ago, nothing changed.
"What's the matter? Did something important happen in the city?" asked the young king.
Fran sighed softly, and said bluntly, "I came to you this time to resign from office."
Gilgamesh froze for a moment, and asked back, "Resign? Are you joking?"
Fran shook her head: "I'm not joking, I'm serious."
Gilgamesh frowned: "Is there something I did wrong? It made you think so, you don't have to, just say it."
Fran could only explain: "It's not that you didn't do well, it should be said that you did too well. Jill, you are already an ideal king, and I have nothing to teach you. Over the years, Through my planning and reforms, Uruk's political economy has become a system, and even if I leave, it can operate on its own, and there is no need for me to stay here anymore."
Gilgamesh frowned even tighter, and the corners of his mouth were drawn down, as if he was trying his best to restrain his unhappiness.
"Why? Since I am an ideal king, why don't you want to be a courtier of such a king? Why don't you want to stay?"
Fran sighed: "Let's put it this way, Jill. You have grown up to be good enough. For the entire Uruk, you are an ideal king. Your light shines on the entire territory and radiates around. You I can do well by myself, so my existence is worthless. Jill, kings are lonely, and if their rights and prestige are divided by another person, it will often cause disaster. And I am now, it is It's time to retreat bravely."
Gilgamesh eased his expression: "So that's what you meant. Actually, I don't care about these things, but if you insist, I can agree. I will give you another title of nobility. You should stay in the palace. We Just like before."
Fran frowned slightly. She felt that the young king probably misunderstood what she meant, so she should explain clearly at this time.
"No, Jill, I mean, I'm leaving Uruk."
Gilgamesh's bright red eyes widened in an instant, and he looked at Fran in disbelief: "Why? Why did you leave? Glory, status, wealth, I can give you all of these, and you can do all of these in Uruk Got it, why are you leaving?!"
Fran chuckled: "Jill, those things may be important to other people, but not to me. For me, there are always other more important things worth pursuing."
The young Wang paced back and forth irritably, unable to restrain his inner depression, he asked Fran loudly, "What do you need? I have all the treasures in the world, and I can give you whatever you want." Suddenly, he He stopped his steps and looked at Fran: "That's right...you are a woman."
Gilgamesh looked at Fran's delicate and moving face and breathtaking eyes, and said, "I understand, you are looking for love." The young king smiled slightly mockingly: "After all, she is a woman. Can't you accept the life of pretending to be a man? Looking at those women who are dressed up all day long and show love to you, can you not hold back your passionate heart? Yes, yes, I have discovered it a long time ago, you I have been in constant contact with a guard in the palace, and I haven't seen him recently, are you going to chase him away?"
Fran didn't bother to explain. Since Gilgamesh understood it this way, he didn't have to think about the reason again. After all, Fran didn't want to cause too much trouble when the teacher and student were in a relationship. It would be best to cut the mess quickly.
Seeing that Fran acquiesced, Gilgamesh's heart, which was purely tentative, gradually sank. He was extremely irritable, and the anger in his heart was roaring and gushing. He couldn't help but want to vent it, but he didn't know why he was forced to Hold back.The young king tried hard to suppress his temper, and then said in a deep voice: "What kind of vision do you have?! A mere bodyguard, how can he compare to me?! I am almost an adult, you want love, marriage, I can give you everything, and I can promise you the position of queen right now! As my queen, you can still participate in politics and play your talents as before, and I can fully support you! I can give you love at the same time, Marriage, career, status, glory and wealth! And what about him? What can he give you? That little boy is just a good face!"
Fran looked at Gilgamesh in surprise, she didn't expect this brat to say such a thing, and even used marriage in order to keep her.
But Fran didn't want to be entangled with Gilgamesh any longer. She could see that this young man might have some budding feelings for her. If you are in debt again, you must withdraw immediately.
Fran looked at Gilgamesh expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice: "Gill, you are still young and don't understand what feelings are, so please don't say such things in the future. It is very unfair to use marriage and feelings as bargaining chips." Undecent behavior. You don't need to persuade me anymore, I have already made up my mind. Jill, you have grown up and are an excellent king, don't say childish things anymore. Well, I will leave." Finished , Fran was about to turn around and leave.
"I don't allow it!" The young king grabbed Fran's wrist, but was twisted by Fran's backhand, shaking his strong hand away.
"You!" Gilgamesh never thought that Fran could dodge. She is a master fighter in this kind of action!Thinking like this, Gilgamesh no longer cared about it, and immediately leaned forward to restrain Fran.
Fran has been trained by martial arts masters for decades in the ninja world. She is no longer the five scumbags in melee combat. Gilgamesh.
Fran let go of Gilgamesh's neck and said softly, "It's useless, I'm not the weak woman you imagined. Even if your mother came in person, she wouldn't be able to keep me."
"Are you a goddess?!" Gilgamesh asked with a complicated expression.
Fran shook her head lightly: "I am neither a god nor a human being." Fran withdrew her hand and said flatly, "Jill, take it as my last lesson for you, I want to tell you something very important It is also a fact that has caused countless kings in history to fall into the mud."
"That is, Jill, even if you are a king and rich in the world, you still have things you can't control and things you can't ask for."
"Once you become addicted to these falsehoods, all that awaits you is destruction."
Fran, who has become the head of Uruk's civil servants, glanced at the narrow-minded Wang, and said with a calm smile, "As long as the fighters are voluntary, I have nothing to criticize."
The young Wang sneered: "A slave who doesn't even belong to himself is desperately fighting for a chance of freedom. How bright and beautiful is the blood shed to fight against fate!"
