Roxana is fifteen years old, the daughter of a small craftsman...

Her father, in Nasaf, supported the family by selling some homemade clay pots and bowls.

Roxana originally thought that her life would be just like her mother's, and it would always be flat.

Find a husband who is not very rich but can afford the dowry, and then, like my own mother, bear children for her husband...and then raise them to grow up...

However, the sudden war shattered her fantasy...

The war happened suddenly, and ended even more suddenly...

It was as if, overnight, the entire Nasaf had changed its ruler.

The original Persian soldiers wearing pointed hats were no longer visible, replaced by Roman soldiers wearing armor, holding weapons and shields...

Although a little uneasy, Roxana felt that these Roman soldiers were not bad...

Because at least they didn't buy or sell by force, and they didn't burn, kill or loot...

This made her uneasy, much less...

However----

Just today, a group of Roman soldiers rushed into her home, pointed swords at her parents' necks, and told her in broken and ridiculous Persian... If she didn't go with them, her parents would will die...

Facing the pleading and desperate gazes of her parents, Roxana succumbed...

She followed the Roman soldiers towards their barracks...

Originally, she thought she was about to usher in a tragic fate...

A woman was brought into the camp of the conquerors, what would happen in this camp full of men, guess what? ?

However, the result surprised her...

She was taken to a playground by the soldiers... On the playground, she saw many girls who were about her size already standing there...

Each of them had a look of despair and uneasiness on their faces...

After sending her here, those soldiers left in a hurry...

She stood among these girls a little uneasy, and they didn't speak to each other...

Because they don't know each other... And, I don't know, if they whisper, it will cause the punishment of the Roman soldiers standing outside watching them...

As she stood there, waiting for her unknown fate...

A deep voice came over... "Hello, my name is Madota... How about you?"

Roxana followed the voice, and it turned out to be a girl standing beside her... Seeing Roxana looking at her, she deliberately blinked at Roxana, looking familiar...

Maybe it's because people always want to rely on something to distract themselves when they are uneasy. Roxana, who didn't like talking to strangers, said for the first time, "My name is Roxana..."

"Not bad name, I guess your parents must have seen you as a little beauty when you were young!!" Madota's personality is obviously more cheerful...

"Maybe, but I don't think your parents would have expected that you are not as quiet as the moon at all!!" Roxana made a rare joke...

Madota means moon girl in Persian...

And Roxana means bright, beautiful...

Taking the name as an opportunity, the two chatted in a low voice...

The Roman soldiers who were standing outside and guarding them ignored their chatting... This made many other girls follow suit...

Everyone knows that if you talk too much, you will get thirsty, especially when they are standing on the unsheltered playground under the sun, and soon... the girls fell silent again, because they were thirsty...

Same goes for Roxana...

Although everyone felt thirsty, they didn't ask the Roman soldiers for clean water... because they didn't know what they were brought here for...

But, to be honest, every girl's heart is not so peaceful...

Why? ?

Because they discovered one thing, every girl brought here has at least an upper-middle appearance...then—their ending is almost certain, becoming a plaything for soldiers is basically what they think the end of the...

Many girls cried when they realized this...

"Hey, can we get some water??"

At this moment, a girl's voice made the girls stand there in a daze...

The one who asked the Roman soldiers for water was none other than the lively Madota.

"Are you crazy??" Roxana didn't want the friend she just met, so the Roman soldiers gave...

"Don't worry, if I'm destined to die, I definitely don't want to choose to die of thirst!!" Madota said, and continued to the Roman soldiers who came over: "Can you give us some water to drink? Didn't you see Are the girls here dying of thirst??"

"...Stop talking, Madota..." Roxana whispered anxiously, while gently tugging at the corner of Madota's clothes with her hands.

She felt that Madonna must be crazy. As a prisoner whose fate was in the hands of others, he dared to provoke those Roman soldiers like this...

However, a scene that surprised her happened... Those Roman soldiers did not drag Madota out to make an example... Instead, they arranged for more than a dozen soldiers to resist several large water tanks, and filled them with water. Fill it with clean water and let them take it as they please...

This simply subverted Roxanna's perception of conquerors...

For a time, Madota, who won the right to drink water from the Roman soldiers for the sisters, became the idol of all the girls...

Beside Madota, unconsciously, a group of girls surrounded her...

Regarding this, Roxanna didn't really want to join in the fun... So, she silently left that seemingly safe small circle...

The waiting time is the longest...

This is especially true when you are waiting for your own unknown destiny...

When the scorching sun was setting, the girls finally waited for the person who decided their own destiny...

A Roman general, with several dark-haired oriental women...

After these women and the general spoke a few words in a language they were not familiar with, they walked among the girls and asked various questions...

Roxana didn't want to answer the questions of those beautiful women, but—she found that she couldn't refuse the questions of those women at all. question……

When it was getting dark, those beautiful oriental women asked all of them... Then, they picked out twelve girls one by one from the group of girls...Unfortunately——Roxana and Madota was among those twelve girls...

After the selection, the Roman general announced that the remaining girls could return to their homes and reunite with their parents... At this moment, Roxana felt the deepest despair...
