The Fall of the Golden Empire (Novel) (Volume 1) "Bloody Sunset" by Zhang Baotong
However, at this moment, the door of the house was suddenly pushed open. Entering was Prince Atahualpa. In fact, he already knew this about his mother Palia and his uncle Prince Kiskis. So, he stayed in the room next door and waited for the opportunity. When he heard the sound of a cup falling, he immediately rushed over from the room next door and pushed the door open. When he saw his mother and uncle hugging each other and kissing, he rushed over, grabbed his uncle's hair, and with the other hand pulled a dagger from his waist and pressed it against his uncle's throat.
Although pleasure-seeking was very common among noble men and women, the person in the prince's arms was not an ordinary woman, but the beloved concubine of the Inca King. Falling in love with the Inca king's beloved concubine was a capital crime. Quiskis was frightened by the sudden fear, thinking that the Inca King was coming and discovered the crime between him and the princess. He thought that he would be beheaded now. I was so frightened that I almost fainted. Because in the Inca Empire, no one except the Inca King would dare to offend him, the assistant minister and the commander of the Quito army, in this way.
But when he opened his eyes and saw that the person in front of him was not the Inca King, but Prince Atahualpa, he was almost frightened and calmed down somewhat, because he knew that Prince Atahualpa would not He told his father about this, because if this happened, not only would his head be chopped off, but the princess would also be executed for it. If the mother is demoted and punished, the son will naturally fall out of favor and be neglected. So, he hurriedly let go of the princess, acted like a fearless warrior, smiled and begged Prince Atahualpa, "Ah, my nephew is a prince. Uncle, I have offended you so much. Please show your respect to the prince." , let uncle go."
Prince Atahualpa became even more furious when he saw that Prince Chiskis seemed to be scorning him. He grabbed his uncle's hair with one hand and put a dagger to his throat with the other. His eyes widened with anger and fierceness, and he said in a stern tone, "Don't you know that the princess is the wife of the Inca King? It is a crime to fool around with the Inca King's wife." The death penalty is the loss of one’s head?”
Seeing that the prince did not want to forgive him, but instead showed a furious and ferocious rage, the prince couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He quickly clasped his fists with his hands and apologized to the prince for mercy, saying, "Although uncle knows, he just drank too much. I did such an offensive and crazy thing in a moment of arrogance, so I would like to ask my nephew to be lenient and show mercy to my uncle."
The prince sneered, "I want to be lenient and show mercy, but the Inca law is unforgiving. Therefore, in order to maintain the dignity of the Inca king and the chastity of my mother and princess, I can only execute you."
When Prince Ciskis heard that Prince Atahualpa was going to execute him, he was so frightened that he collapsed into a ball. He knelt on the ground, hugged Princess Palia's legs, and asked the princess to beg the prince for mercy on his behalf. He regretted deeply that he should not have agreed to Princess Palia's request and had the courage to come here and take this risk. Of course he knows that when a man is bored and bored, a woman can relax him and make him happy. However, if he knows that this woman may bring him a fatal disaster, no matter how beautiful the woman is, He would not tempt her even though she was so beautiful and beautiful. Because men always put their own lives and safety first. He really regretted it. There were so many young and beautiful women at home, but why did he take risks in this place?
Princess Paria only knew that Chalkuchma wanted her to lure Prince Kiskis over, but she did not tell her that the prince would have such a hand in it. Seeing that she had pulled the prince over, she did not expect that the prince would suddenly and unexpectedly rush over. Not only was she worried that Wang'er would mess up the matter, she was even more afraid that Wang'er would hurt Prince Kiskis in a moment of rage. If that's the case, things will get serious. Once things get serious, the matter between her and the prince will definitely be known to the Inca King. By then, not only will everything they do fail to achieve the purpose they envisioned, but it will also cause them huge consequences. disasters and serious consequences. She must restrain Wang Er's recklessness and impulsiveness.
So, the princess hugged her son tightly from behind and begged him sincerely, "My Par, my beloved son, please let your uncle Prince Kiskis go. It was I who seduced him. You If you want to kill, just kill me." As she spoke, she started twitching and crying, and continued, "In the past, your father loved me so much that he couldn't leave me for a moment, but now that I'm old, I can't compare to him. He has fallen in love with those young and beautiful concubines, so he will never come to my place again. But I am a woman, I am a sentimental woman, and I need the companionship, care and love of a man. But your father has been pregnant for more than half a year They don’t even come to me anymore. He has a virgin palace and hundreds of concubines for his enjoyment, but I don’t even have a man to accompany me. Have you ever thought about this, my prince? Are you really not pitiful? Pity your mother?"
Prince Atahualpa knew that his mother was the person who loved him most in the world. Mother's love is different from father's love. Although his father also loved him, he also loved Huascar, Anna Yama and other princes and princesses, as well as those young and beautiful concubines and beauties. All the mother's love is concentrated on him. As long as it is for him, the mother will go through fire and water and give everything. Therefore, he has always cherished and appreciated his mother's love. As long as it was his mother's request, he would not refuse anything. However, he must act out this scene and find a way to subdue the commander of Quito's army and the assistant minister of the palace, so that he can become a sincere slave who follows and obeys him.
So, he showed that he was unforgivable for Prince Kiskis' behavior of defiling his mother. With an expression of extreme contempt and rage, he stretched out his arms and threw his mother to the ground next to him, and treated her like crazy. shouted, "But my father is the King of Inca, and you are the princess. As a princess, you should abide by the chastity of the princess. You two are the most trusted and closest people to my father, but you are betraying my father." King, if my father finds out, what will he do to you?" As he spoke, he pointed at his uncle and mother who were kneeling on the ground and said loudly, "He will bury you alive and burn you to death in accordance with the laws of the Inca King. .”
Burial alive and burning were both death sentences that the Incas feared. Because the Incas were very superstitious, they believed that gods would resurrect after death. Therefore, after both kings and people died, they would be mummified and placed at home. After the death of the monarch and nobles, they will retain their belongings, houses and land, as well as their women and servants. Servants would feed him every day, and women would sleep with him at night. However, once a person is buried alive or burned to death, the body cannot be preserved and mummified. Therefore, the person has no spirit and cannot be resurrected. Therefore, the Incas had a huge fear of being buried alive and burned to death.
Hearing this, the prince and princess were so frightened that they trembled violently. Princess Palia was even worried that Wang Er was pretending to be a real person and had forgotten that it was a show. She wanted to remind Wang Er, but she couldn't say it in front of Kiskis. She even regretted that she should not have listened to her brother and invited Kiskis here to perform this drama.
Princess Palia did not expect that her son would treat her so rudely. She endured the pain, gritted her teeth and climbed up from the ground, and said to her son in a very hateful tone, "You can reprimand me and insult me. You can also despise me and spurn me, or even kill me with death. However, you cannot harm your uncle, Prince Chiskis. He is an outstanding hero of the Inca Kingdom and your father's most trusted and capable assistant minister. , he is also a noble man that my mother and I have admired and respected since I was a child. If you really want to kill your uncle, then kill me first." After saying that, Princess Palia rushed towards the dagger in her son's hand, Atta Prince Valpa did not expect his mother to be like this, and was startled. In order to prevent his mother from being stabbed by the dagger, he quickly dropped the dagger in his hand on the ground.
Princess Palia jumped away and fell to the ground. She grabbed the dagger on the ground, knelt down, and pointed the dagger at her chest to stab her. Seeing this scene, Prince Atahualpa was almost frightened out of his soul. He shouted in fright, "Mother--" Then, in a tearful voice, he begged Princess Palia, "Mother, you Don't be like this, as long as you put down the dagger, I will promise my mother anything, my dear."
Princess Palia put the knife hard on her chest and said to her son in a threatening and coercive tone, "Well, I want you to let your uncle Prince Kiskis go. Do you agree?"
Prince Atahualpa said quickly, "I promise, I promise."
But Princess Palia did not put down the dagger in her hand, and then said, "I will love your uncle, Prince Kiskis, forever. Can you agree?"
Prince Atahualpa looked at his mother with incredible eyes, shook his head and warned, "This will let my father know that he will be beheaded."
Princess Paria said, "I won't let your father know. As long as you don't tell your father, he won't know." Looking at his mother's firm and persistent look, Prince Atahualpa still didn't know. He agreed, but looked at his mother with puzzled eyes.
"You refuse to agree." Princess Palia asked again.
However, how can a son agree to such a thing as his mother? So Atahualpa shook his head.
Seeing that her son refused to agree, the princess pressed the dagger hard against her chest. Soon, the tip of the knife pierced into the princess's skin, and the blood droplets oozing out dyed the gauze on her chest red. Even Prince Kiskis, who was kneeling aside, was so frightened that he became speechless. He pulled the princess by the waist and kept shouting, "Princess, princess, you must not do it, you must not do it!"
But Princess Palia still intimidated the prince with her fearless and fearless expression. The tip of the knife penetrated deeper and deeper, and more and more blood dripped out.
The prince finally replied, "Mother, I promise you." After saying that, he collapsed on the ground and burst into tears.
