I'm really not an old sword

"What are you doing here?"

Martha asked, and the vampire maids scattered as soon as they saw Martha coming back.

Marda became increasingly confused. She returned to her room and opened the door. Suddenly, a pungent smell mixed with blood wafted out.

Then, Marda saw a woman whom she didn't want to see again.

Salome!

Looking at this female pervert who had chased her for hundreds or thousands of kilometers, Marda almost subconsciously took a step back and assumed a fighting stance, but she soon realized that something was wrong.

There's something wrong with the look of this Salome.

Although Salome had always seemed mentally unstable, and even said strange things and made a face of denial, but now...

Looking at the man with wide eyes, he was almost collapsed and sat on her bed, trembling from time to time.

Only the slight rise and fall of Salome's chest showed that she was still alive.

Martha suddenly felt some sympathy for her.

Looking at the stains all over the bed and Salome's almost inhuman red face, Martha realized what had happened during her absence.

——It is estimated that Salome followed the smell to the bed when she left.

Judging from this guy's personality, he must be causing trouble and wanting to kill someone.

Then it was caught by Lin Qingsu and stir-fried mercilessly, becoming this spoiled state.

But...

Looking at the unremarkable Salome, Martha didn't feel anything, but rather felt that it was quite good.

She had been born in a time of war, and she had seen women being treated like this before. And Salome, this crazy woman with a mind as abnormal as a psychopath who had been constantly hunting her, really needed to be "purified." That is...

······

"Why do you do it in my room?!" Martha demanded.

Her room was full of water and strange things, and even opening the window was useless.

Although the vampire maids were cleaning up, but thinking about the thing that was all over her bed just now, Marda felt that it must have been absorbed, and it would be useless unless she replaced the bed and furniture.

"You brought her here."

"We're not discussing this right now. You clearly have a room, and there's so much space on the ship, so why did you insist on dragging her to my room to do it?"

"You brought her here."

"Yes, I brought her here, but can't you respect my privacy and private life?"

"You brought her here."

Martha hardened, her fist hardened.

Mom, she's getting off the boat!

······

The second day of sailing after leaving the port.

Salome finally woke up.

After waking up, Salome heard Zenobia's cry, which frightened her so much that she trembled all over and curled up into a ball.

After pretending to be asleep for a long time, Salome realized that it was not directed at her.

Then she secretly opened her eyes and saw three fleshworms entangled with each other on the bed.

There was that terrifying man who looked a million times more like the devil than she was, Zenobia, the devil's accomplice, and a white woman she had never seen before. What the three of them were doing almost scared Salome to death.

It was a long time before Salome looked around her.

She found herself locked in an iron cage.

It looked like a cage specially designed for large dogs, with a leash on. Salome didn't feel there was anything wrong with this humiliating look.

It’s not that she was crazy to that extent, but after enduring the despairing torture before, Salome felt that this was not so bad.

She took a few secret glances, and instinctively trembled and feared, so she simply curled up and acted like an ostrich.

"woke up."

Salome didn't know how much time had passed, but she suddenly noticed that the sound stopped, and suddenly she heard a man's voice beside her.

Salome shuddered all over, and when she looked up, she saw the man who had frightened her to the bone squatting beside the cage, looking at her as if she were a pet dog.

Salome tried hard to put on a flattering smile.

Lin Qingsu opened the cage and reached in.

At first, Salome trembled with fear, fearing that he would drag her out, but soon she saw the man's hand put there, and the gesture was like a dog owner waiting for the dog to put its head there.

Salome did not feel humiliated at all, but instead felt relieved. She crawled on all fours to the door of the cage and placed her delicate and charming face on it. She tried to force a flattering smile on her face, which was faintly filled with fear.

She even felt that this was probably not enough, and licked his palm with her tongue.

Lin Qingsu marveled in amazement.

"Wasn't he quite arrogant before?"

"Why are you so well behaved now?"

Salome gave a smile that was uglier than crying.

She didn't know what to say, but she really didn't dare to say anything arrogant or do anything violent. Then she was severely punished by him. That period was more torturous than hell.

After much thought, Salome could only say, "Master."

Then he forced a flattering smile on his face.

Lin Qingsu felt a little bored. He was still thinking that the other party was determined to launch a sneak attack on him, so he directly activated the "Meiliwen" to see her miserable appearance.

But seeing how well-behaved she was, Lin Qingsu lost interest in her.

Although he was very interested in this woman who was as petite as Yvette but had a very good figure unlike Yvette, looking at her appearance, he probably couldn't bear it for the time being.

Lin Qingsu grabbed her face and said, "Be honest, okay?"

Salome nodded continuously: "I understand, Master!"

······

It took about a month to sail and travel.

Lin Qingsu and others finally arrived at Babylon, the capital of the Assyrian Empire. After observing outside for a day, Lin Qingsu decided to use the simplest method to meet Semiramis.

Sneak in.

Perhaps because the previous emperor had just passed away and the new emperor was still young, the guards in the palace were very strict.

But no matter how strict the guards were, they were just a group of ordinary people. At most, they were one or two times stronger than ordinary people because of the mysterious force. Although Lin Qingsu's strength was suppressed severely now, it was still more than four or five times that of an ordinary person.

Plus, she has the assistance of Salome, a completely submissive magician.

It’s more than enough to break into a palace.

······

late at night.

A woman with black hair and golden eyes, wearing a luxurious black silk robe, was leaning against the table.

Semiramis leaned on the side of her hand and looked worriedly at the reports from various places and the imperial capital on the table.

Ever since her husband died suddenly of illness, leaving her and her young child behind, all the places that had already been declining under her husband's leadership began to become unstable.

First, natural disasters occurred frequently in various places.

Another neighboring country was destroyed by the Roman Empire, and the empress Zenobia, who was also in charge of the government behind the scenes, was captured like a dog, locked in a car and exhibited in various places.

The neighboring country was destroyed, causing panic among the people at home, with a large influx of refugees and border issues to deal with.

The Roman emperor also coveted the Assyrian Empire.

Internal natural disasters and rebellions are frequent.

Recently, rumors have surfaced in the imperial capital that she poisoned the late emperor for power.

She didn't care about the rumor itself. There were dozens of such rumors on the streets every day, and they were defeated.

But what really worried her was how the rumor spread.

This is very scary to think about.

Even if ordinary people spread rumors based on random thoughts, their influence is very limited. For rumors to spread to such a large extent, there must be someone behind the scenes fanning the flames.

Why would the other party spend so much effort to spread this rumor?

Semiramis understood that there must be someone in the imperial capital who wanted to drive her out and push their people into this position.

But even if it is clear.

Semiramis even had a vague guess as to who was behind this, but she had no way to deal with it.

Chapter 41: The Empress's Night Attack

This is not.

Today, a bunch of reports on natural disasters, man-made disasters and rebellions in various places were submitted.

Today's meeting was noisy all day.

After discussing the issues of disaster relief and rebellion suppression in various places for a long time, there was no result.

——That was not difficult to solve in Semiramis's opinion.

In case of natural disasters, money is given, and troops are sent to suppress rebellions. Although the Assyrian Empire's power has declined significantly after the disasters caused by the previous emperor, it is still an old empire and its power remains. These problems can be solved as long as one wants to solve them.

But some people in the court just wanted to drag it out and bring him down.

Under normal circumstances, she could use some tricks to deal with those blind and greedy people.

But now Zenobia had just been captured, and the neighboring empire was destroyed by Rome.

Now the Roman Empire's army is eyeing the border of the Assyrian Empire. If she gets rid of those foolish people right away, if something goes wrong and chaos breaks out, she can take her time to solve the problem slowly without the Roman Empire watching.

But with the Roman Empire watching, an internal and external alliance...

"Ugh."

Semiramis sighed, rubbed her forehead, turned around and saw that it was already late at night, and looked out the window at the starry sky.

"Is the bathing water ready?" Semiramis asked in a majestic voice.

"Already prepared."

Semiramis, accompanied by her maid, went to the bathhouse.

It was a large Roman-style bathhouse covering hundreds of square meters. It was all white and had several large pillars standing on it. Above the bathhouse, which was dozens of square meters in size, was a glass ceiling.

In the hazy mist, I listened to the water flowing from the faucet, enjoyed the warm water, and looked up at the starry sky...

"Stand back."

Semiramis waved her hand to let the maids who were massaging her shoulders and feet in the bath go away.

Lying in the bathtub, looking up at the endless starry sky outside the glass, I felt a rare sense of peace in my heart. Even my face, which had rarely smiled since my marriage, showed a natural smile...

"Ok?"

The smile on Semiramis's face faltered slightly.

Looking at the 'person' above the glass, Semiramis blinked and stood up.

Watched it again.

The man seemed to have noticed something and lowered his head. Semiramis's golden pupils met the man's pale eyes, and she was sure that she was not hallucinating.

A person actually appeared above her bathtub?!

A young man?!

After coming to her senses, Semiramis was shocked and angry when she thought of her current state, and immediately covered her chest.

"Someone come!?"
