Capítulo 575: Fierce Tigress
If this palace is created to stop his sworn brother, then it makes sense that this palace is like this.
Guarded, full of traps, the thick and tall wall, the many holes of trap all around
If this place is already completed, Aeryon would not dare co here without his n.
He did give leeway to his queen.
Maybe….he is giving her too much leeway. He thought to himself.
“it would be too funny if one day I am assassinated in my own palace” Aeryon would like to think that Ayera would never do such a thing.
But it was never out of the realm of possibility
And as long as it is not out of the realm of possibility, it is possible and so he must have a counterasure
“It actually did not have to be like this” But not all things in life would go the way you want. And Aeryon could only sigh at this feeling of helplessness.
Now, the only thing he could do is minimize the impact and salvage what is left. And maybe, as ti passes, rebuilt the trust
Aeryon also notices sothing else now that he had entered the gates and walk toward his wife palace
He could have ridden his horse.
But instead, he chooses to walk.
This ti, they would talk and the things they would talk about would determine the east.
This kind of talk that could shake his foundation certainly needs him to think before he talks. It is like negotiating things with others.
He did not ask Mayeux because knowing Mayeux, his suggestion would be the simplest one.
Aeryon also knows the simplest solution. Using force and power to compel!
But he did not want to use it.
He was sincere toward his wife.
This is sothing true.
After all, how could he pacify the world if he could not even pacify his own family.
What he wanted is a foundation that could last long and not a foundation that would crumble in the second generation.
If he could choose a better way, even if it takes a little ti, he would choose the better way.
As for what he notices in these paths, is that the courtyards, the gardens are scattered full with trees.
There is nothing weird about courtyard full of trees and about garden full of flowers and plants and rockeries.
But now with these trees, and all kinds of rockery Aeryon could not help but feel that this residence is like the center of fortified fortress full of traps everywhere.
Behind those rockeries maybe hides a secret passage or traps.
The ponds might hide so thod of killing.
Those plants….Aeryon bet so of them if mixed with so other thing could be made as a potent poison.
Aeryon would not underestimate his wife. Aeryon walk with his hand behind his back, like he is surveying the land
“there is even more Utgard warriors around her. It seems Ayera probably have contacted the remnants of warriors that is loyal to her father” Aeryon thought to himself.
Is this just an act of gathering her tribes mber or is this her thod of guarding against him.
Aeryon did not need to guess at all. This is a asure against him. Aeryon would like to assure her that such thod is unnecessary but Aeryon doubt he could convince her.
But then his expression beco stern.
His eyes sharpened.
“It seems she is not idle at all” he thought to himself. Because there is another thought that flashed inside his mind just now. It is a terrifying thought
He is always one that would try to think of all possible scenario. And there is one scenario that he thought off that sends chills into his heart
He shakes his head
“She would not do that. Not after all of this” But still, just the thought alone chills his heart. And what is that thought?
A daring attack toward Mayeux.
A suicide attack, damn the consequences
Such action is not out of the realm of possibility. After all, there is many of such stories of avenging families in the stories told in the fireplace
But right now, the matter of Mayeux and Ayera is only known to a few people. And those who knows it would know how wise it is not to talk anything about it.
Those who does know it probably wish to be fool if they were asked about it
It is amazing when you think about it.
Just a few days ago, she had woken up from her coma and she is already ready to sche and plot
This woman is really extraordinary.
Sotis, that is not a good thing.
Just like how so cleverness could harm people, too much bravery sotis becos idiotic, and too extraordinary invite fear
“No ordinary man could ta this tiger woman” he thought to himself
Aeryon might not be extraordinary when he first ca here.
But he clearly is right now. He was at the right place, at the right ti, with the right background.
Of course, depending on who you ask, one might look down on his background as the son of an exiled tribal chief of the Steppe.
If you ask, any of those lords in Yan, or the Senators in Roma or the great ministers of Western Zhou, they would think nothing of such background
Aeryon however knows more and understand more.
To him, if he was born in the Steppe, born as the son of a chief, even if it was an exiled chief, that is already a win.
Because in this era, that background alone differentiate him from millions of others in the Steppe
He actually prefer this background if he had to be born in the Steppe.
He had no father; the tribe is on the verge of collapse and all of it seems like he was dealt a bad card
But for Aeryon, as long as he could gain power using his background, those weaknesses is actually his strength
Without his father and no powerful relatives, he has full control of his power and his power is truly absolute as long as he could prove himself to the tribe and make the tribe acknowledge him.
There is no clash between the old chief and him and all the things he wanted to do could be done without friction
The tribe itself is not so big that there is other voices that could compete with him. And since it is not strong, there is no powerful figure that could block his voice or made him have to fight for power from these powerful colleague of the old generation.
And with small but young people on his side, he could change his tribe, reform is more easily passed as the young is more receptive to new ideas.
And since then, this ordinary man has beco an extraordinary man
The kind of man that could subdue the fierce tiger that slept beside him for almost a year
“Ayera, I hope you are a person who could see the situation clearly. A fierce tiger….does not an that it is invincible. If you push too far, don’t bla cutting out your claws” Aeryon thought to himself.
He steels himself as he walk toward the inner residence of his wife.
…
The sll of the flowers is strong, a scent that is dispersed from perfu bags and sprays jug.
But the scent is not so overwhelming that it would make him dizzy. Just the right amount of nice scent
Aeryon enter the room of Ayera.
“This place of hers is really formidable” this is Aeryon thought.
But he did not say it out loud.
Her palace has the style of the Yan dynasty influence.
There is sweeping tiled roofs with upturned eaves, lacquered wood beams painted in vermillion and gold, dragon and phoenix motif carved in many places
But that is not the only influence that this palace have. It also have the influence of the Roma and the Steppe.
There is marble pillars with vine and floral carving stand in the courtyards, water foundation bubbling at the center
In so other places, the courtyards are vast and open, with grassy sections for horses to graze
The soul of the Steppe seems to be represented.
These three styles of architecture could be seen in many parts of the palace sotis it felt jarring sotis it felt like it is in harmony.
Aeryon guessed that Ayera also sought the help of his architects to build this palace. Aeryon also take a tour around the area before entering her chamber
There is hall for guest, the outer court to receive people.
Broad stone leads to a hall where the guest would be received, the floor paved with alternating tiles of coloured tiles.
There is so murals of famous stories decorating the walls in this courtyard.
Then there is the middle court
There is the middle court.
This one probably took a lot of inspiration from his own lake pavilion.
There is a tranquil space with lotus ponds, trees and colonnade around the water.
Probably if there is people here, musicians could perform here, turning the courtyard into a place of refined gatherings
There is the inner court where it is for Ayera and her close confidantes.
“and also, her conspirators” Aeryon thought to himself.
