"My father is right, your majesty." Stratonics understood that the guard chief Obisus was her father, and was just a poor theater musician. However, when Mitradati was watching a performance, he was fascinated by the daughter of the musician who led the singing, Stratonics, and immediately summoned Obisus and gave him a luxurious villa, thirty slaves, four horses, ten eunuchs, and wealth that could fill all the rooms of the villa. Then, the musician became the guard chief of the palace of Bendu, and the daughter of the musician became the favorite concubine of the King of Bendu.

Since Metdorus advised Mitradati not to over-trust wives, concubines and eunuchs, the father and daughter hated this "Shangfu".

Mitradati praised her concubine's suggestion, and he ordered the warrior next to Obishus, "Oh, the first swordsman from the Galatian Highlands, the hero of the Celtics, the right hand of the goddess of war Ebonna, Biduita! I wonder if you are satisfied with the two female slaves I gave you last time?"

The warrior named Biduita has a dark blue terrifying oil paint on his face, a pointed helmet that looks like an Oriental style, with huge and strong arms naked, eyes full of killing and lust. He smacked his lips and said, "Except for their screams on the bed, they are not melodious enough, everything else is fine."

Mitradati laughed and said, "If Shangfu goes to Atacsetta, please ask you to protect it all the way. Remember, wait for my pigeon instructions at any time, and the reward is fifty tarante."

Biduita smiled and took the order to retreat. Then Obihus also surrendered. Stratonice untied the clothes for King Bendu and prepared to accompany him into the bath. He also whispered: "If Shang's father is not good at going on a mission, not only his majesty's daughter whom he married to Armenia, but his majesty's sister Nesa might be able to turn the situation around."

"Oh?" Mitradati took off the golden chest that hung around his neck, "You mean, that guy Tegranis still loves my sister?"

Stratonice smiled in agreement.

The white Atacsetta stands among the black mountains, in the deep halls of the Kingdom of Armenia, King Tegranis and King Bihou are also the daughter of Mitradati, Otpeli, sitting on two thrones, one big and one small: Bendu's father Metdorus is one step ahead of Rome's envoy Apis.

Tegranis is the most powerful man in the eastern part of Little Asia. He has long curly hair, his beard is trimmed cleanly, and his low figure shows the ability and majesty of a king everywhere. He stares at the old man below the steps and is also the messenger of his father-in-law. Listening to the other party's lengthy rhetorical narrative about the entanglement between Armenia and Bendu, he finally feels impatient and asks: "Metdorus, it is said that you are the wisest figure in the world. Why are you so raving? Now, according to your judgment, think that I, the king of kings, should I send troops to help my father-in-law and be enemies with the Romans?"

When he heard the King of Kings ask this question, Metdorus became relaxed, but he still hoped that his rhetoric was impeccable and finally said the stupidest words in his life: "If it is based on the view of my lord, it is better for your country to join hands with my lord; but if it is based on my personal view, your country is enemies of the Romans, it is a great problem."

As soon as these words came out, even Tegranis was amused. He raised his neck and laughed, his voice vibrated the palace. Metdorus didn't know what he said, so he could only stay with him and have fun together.

But Autpeli became angry. She couldn't help but stand up from the throne, pointing at Metdorus and cursing: "My father sponsors you and trusts you, but you have shown the inherent bad virtues of a literati. May the gods and the king punish you together." Then she turned to her husband and said sarcastically: "I heard that the Romans had only an army of ten thousand people, and they were short of horses and food. Now, husband, you, and my father, have let the Romans perform their crimes in their territory for so many years. Is Anatolia really no man in a beauties?" After that, with the company of several maids, she left the palace angrily.

Tegranis was scolded in this way and lost all his face. He waved his hand in great anger, causing everyone to retreat, then stood up and shouted to a close minister: "Misaro, I have been listening to the noise between women and rhetoric all day long. I really can't tell the difference between these two people - hunting is the most suitable for me now, go and prepare!"

This young minister named Misaro has red lips and white teeth and a handsome figure. He has always been the male favorite of Tegranis who value trust the most. Although he had something to say at this moment, he still bowed and then took the order to leave.

After a while, at the small door of the back wall of the palace, several people in military uniforms walked out. The heads were naturally Tegranis, Misaro and the prince "Little Tegray" accompanied them all the way. They rode horses and shot, flying eagles and dogs in the spacious hunting garden behind the palace. They were in a happy mood - several Celtic warriors knelt outside the fence of the hunting garden, saying that they were his father-in-law's guards, who came with Metdorus, and had important news.

"It's endless!" Although Tegranis was bored, he could only carry his horse over a few fences and come to those people. They were all disarmed. The tall man in the head was covered with indigo blue tattoos, extremely vicious. He held a plate covered with silk and looked up and said to the King of Armenia: "I am Biduita, the guardian of King Bendu. I was rude when I was about to talk. This is the gift from our Lord to you, the King of Kings."

Tegranis used a horse whip and gently picked up the silk. What appeared on the plate was Metdorus's head and his hands that were cut off!

The king of kings in Armenia roared. He gritted his steel teeth and pointed at Biduita, scolding his father-in-law for his cruelty. Just because of the momentary confusion of an old man, he took the life of this well-known Greek scholar.

"Metdorus instigated the friendship between the two countries and deserved to end his life." Biduita was calm.

At this time, a shrill trombone came from the tower built against the mountain beside the hunting garden. Tegranis and others looked up, but saw a man pushing down from a hundred-meter-high tower by several people, falling like a kite, and then a muffled sound of flesh and blood scattering.

"Who is that man? Who dares to commit murder in my palace?" Tegranis shouted, and several entourages rushed over immediately. After a while, they ran back with sweat and knelt at Tegranis' feet, and reported: "It is Anfikoladi, the logic teacher of the palace."

"Teacher!" Prince Tegray burst into tears. Tegranis continued to ask in anger who dared to kill the prince's teacher. The entourage hesitated and finally replied: "It should be His Majesty, Queen Wang, and King Anfikoladi spoke rudely at the tea party just now, saying that the Armenians should not send troops to assist Bendu, and that he would set off to Seleucau today, saying that Armenia's 'a small river cannot accommodate a large ship'."
