The God of War
Painting And Spying
Zhou found something like a small note at the bottom of the book. He read the kanji that glittered with that golden light.
"Kirasodo's heirloom will be destroyed and destroyed only if the previous owner wants its destruction. That means it is absolutely impossible, except for the Star God Demon itself who wants its destruction."
Zhou muttered softly with a pair of furrowed brows close together. Then he started to close his pair of eyes and pinched his forehead with a tired expression.
Upon hearing an orderly rhythm of footsteps from outside his room, Zhou immediately put the book back together. Until finally the footsteps are now getting closer to him.
"Panger ... uhm .. I mean husband." said a woman who was none other than Lily almost called Zhou prince.
"After you wake up? Didn't you sleep all night?" lily's soft voice started to sound right beside Zhou who was still sitting cross-legged.
"No, Wife. I woke up early and did little" said Zhou, who is currently facing a book on martial arts.
"Oh so yeah. Alright. Do you want hot tea? I'll make it if you want ..."
"No, Wife. Come here, I want to talk to you."
Lily obediently sat down before Zhou, who was limited to a wooden table. He patiently waited for Zhou to convey something.
"Wives. When I left, did something happen to you and our son? Is something going on?"
Lily was silent for a while and tried to remember something, then she shook her head slowly.
"none. We're doing fine. It's just that I had heard something a little awkward from Uncle Kei. He questioned a painting of me. But I know nothing at all. And I thought you'd find out something about this, Husband ..."
Lily said again remembered the mysterious painting spoken of by the old senima of the palace. I don't know what the painting is, but until now Lily still does not know what the painting is. Because Lily also did not have a chance to ask directly to Uncle Kei.
"Drawing?" mumbled Zhou frowned, indicating he also knew nothing about it.
"Hc. Yes ... he asked me, as if I had asked him to make the painting. And what I don't understand, he asked me... Does Commander Zhou like it?" lily told me honestly.
Zhou was silent for a while to catch and digest all the words of his wife.
What exactly is going on? What painting does Lily mean? And why is it as if the painting was made for me?
Inner Zhou thought hard.
Tok ... tok ...
Lily! Are you ready?
A regular rhythm and followed by the voice of a middle-aged woman began to be heard from outside the pavilion.
"Oh. I almost forgot! Husband, today my aunt Lu and I will help Tsuruhime and the palace medical attendant to make some medicinal herbs from herbs that you have obtained before" Lily recalled something.
"Wife, you don't have to work anymore. Didn't I say that before?"
"I just want to help them. Than to get bored at home. Our son likes it too. He loved playing with the palace servants. You let us go, didn't you?" lily said she hoped her husband would give her permission.
Zhou let out a long sigh and exhaled slowly. He was very worried about his wife and son. However there was no way Zhou would always lock them up in the pavilion.
"Hc. You be careful too, Pange .. uhm .. I mean my husband." Lily grimaced stiffly.
"If you still call me that, then I will give you punishment, Wife .." said Zhou smilingly at Lily.
"Eh? Ma-sorry .. I'm just not too used to it yet. But I promise you, I'll make more of an effort not to do it again." Lily said earnestly.
Zhou could not help but laugh. He extended his right hand forward and gently rubbed the side side of Lily's face. Instantly made Lily blush in embarrassment.
"I'm just teasing you. Don't feel stiff and tense like this with me. Act as usual." said Zhou at last.
"Ba-good."
Lily ... Let's go together!
The middle-aged woman's shout was again heard by the two of them, making Lily immediately rush over.
"Suami, I'll go first" Lily said farewell respectfully.
And after Zhou nodded his head accompanied by a warm smile, Lily finally left him.
Zhou was still silent and contemplating looking at Lily's departure. She thought back to what Lily had just said. It was as if something was wrong had happened.
Until finally all the answers to the awkwardness began to be answered when one of his trusted people began to face him by bringing a painting wrapped in white cloth.
And how shocked Zhou was when he saw the painting was a painting of him wearing a harness in the midst of a glittering white blizzard.
"Sasuke, what is this?" tanya Zhou was still staring fixedly at the painting. "Is this painting made by Uncle Kei?"
"I don't know for sure, Commander Zhou. However, someone inside Nobuhide's palace had sent this painting to the emperor Zeus at Fumio. I don't know what their purpose is. I also could not see and recognize the sender of this painting well. Because at that time he was wearing a face mask." explained Sasuke telling me what he saw at that time.
Zhou was silent for a moment thinking about all this. He's trying to figure out what's going on right now. Until he finally started to conclude something.
Someone sent me a painting for Zeus? Does this mean Zeus suspects me? So who was this man that Zeus sent and spied here? If there really is a thorn in the flesh, this is very dangerous! And the hemlock case back then, someone really did. And that man wasn't a Takeda soldier.
Inner Zhou concluded.
"Sasuke, isn't there another suspicious move after that?" tanya Zhou confirmed something.
"Not yet, Commander Zhou. It was the last day the man sent letters and paintings to the emperor Zeus. After that there is no more." Sasuke said as if.
"alright. Always keep an eye on him! And we need to figure out who that guy is."
"Okay, Commander Zhou! Understood!"
"Go!"
"Okay, Commander Zhou!" sahut Sasuke frowned and lowered his head, then he immediately left Zhou.
