Now, when fight has died down on this rocky fragment smoothed by time which have become henceforth for any Persian by
a sacred place of valour, the funeral tower slavnejshego from tsars of the great people was erected. Certainly, it should
become such that and after centuries any passer-by or the traveller, having looked at it, tremblingly and respect has
recollected about played here there is no time battle and about the terrible tsar who has fallen in the field of fight as it is
necessary to the true soldier.
The deep bowl established in the middle of a tower with ashes of Kira has been covered by its fighting board. Around, barring
way curious, heaps of military trophies, armours goplitov in the form of mighty bronze torsos, their helmets with high crests,
round boards, goplony, cut pelty, long spears, darts and swords were piled up.
Valtasar looked, as the Persians amazed with a grief pull down trophies to a place of last rest of the sovereign, and with
toskoju represented that now, as a matter of fact, all these aggressive mountaineers become its citizens. Once, during a time
of its youth, Nabonid has told to it: "Correct the country any fool, and here can that and truly to operate it there will be no also
all human wisdom for any action generates one share dissatisfied and ten - ungrateful". Now Valtasar with grief recollected
words of the father, trying though otdalenno to imagine that to it to do with the inheritance of Kira. The Most reasonable to it
represented a calling variant on an imperial throne of the elder son of the killed tsar, but that now was far, has not been
conducted, whether it is live, and the will not particularly why separated first-born Kira from prestolonasledija.
The tsar of Babylon tried to find out the reasons of so not clear decision from those advisers of the late sovereign who has
survived after a morning slaughter-house. But such remains a little. One of these lucky persons simply anything plainly could
not tell, others, mainly eunuchs, something muffledly repeated plot; the third, are more true the third imperial nephew Dary
with rigid frankness of the soldier has declared that considers as forgery the will of the uncle.
