Chapter 14: Confrontation


She just stood quietly, her delicate lips setting off a perfect arc, ignoring the surprise that came from all around, and just said calmly: "It's okay, I'm willing to accept this rule." ”In the atrium of the palace of Thebes, a grand dinner is being staged magnificently.Scantily clad dancers dance ancient dances, their rapidly spinning figures casting dazzling phantoms on the blue-and-white stone floor, and harpists work in harmony with the castanets, striking and plucking strings to form a rhythmic and strange melody.For a time, the splendid hall was full of chatter, and the most powerful people in all of Thebes gathered at the invitation of Pharaoh to participate in this turbulent celebration.The emerald green eyes swept over the seated courtiers, and the red-haired general wiped the sweat from his head, as one of the two masters of the empire, he was an expert at leading troops to fight, but he was never familiar with how to deal with this undercurrent of political signals.The hall was clearly divided into two factions, with the noble team headed by Omhond and the gang of politicians led by Simman inadvertently bounded by the open space in the hall, and sat on either side according to the position of Nefertari and Camillota.On the surface, it seems that they are talking without a gap, but secretly there seems to be a kind of tension that is about to spread.Everyone unanimously agreed that today's dinner was an opportunity for the pharaoh to settle the recent Sheput incident, and the result was also a bellwether for the degree of favoritism between the two sides.But why didn't the noble man show up, Mentus looked at the heavy wooden door at the end of the hall with some frustration.Suddenly, the wooden door made a soft sound.The sound was small, but it attracted the attention of everyone seated in the venue, only to see the waiter open the intricately carved wooden door, the music drifted out with the air, and the bright light gently diffused and fell on the man standing outside the door.Her long straight black hair is like flowing water, and her polite and gentle smile is like sunshine.The person who came was not Ramses, but the youngest and most important priest in the country, the first prophet Litah.The beautiful young man walked in slowly, and the door slammed shut behind him.The musicians stopped playing in unison, and the courtiers looked at him with a little nervousness.The young priest only smiled and lightly conveyed Pharaoh's command: "Your Majesty will be here later tonight because of your important business, so please drink to your heart's content." ”Ritahe's slender hand lifted up slightly, and the band's performance resumed in the disbelief and disappointment of the ministers.The priest walked slowly forward and took a seat beside Mentus.The red-haired young man hurriedly leaned over and asked in his ear with a little urgency: "What's wrong" Tonight's banquet was planned by His Majesty, but he delayed attending at an important moment, it really doesn't seem to be His Majesty's style, in the end, it can only be that something more important happened.So, what could that very important matter be, and he couldn't even tell himself, Mentus couldn't help but feel a little worried, and I am afraid that it was not only the young general who had such concerns, but also almost all the ministers, concubines, and attendants present.Everyone pretended to continue to enjoy the dance in front of them, but their eyes drifted to Ritach as if they were nothing.Ritach only smiled faintly, his red lips curled a little, and he didn't say anything more.The beautiful face is like the flowing water of the sun, gentle but without special emotions and hints.The red-haired general scratched his hair, still unable to grasp the point.He wanted to continue, but Ritach only shook his head slightly, so that he had no choice but to give up, and took a sip of the wine absentmindedly while his emerald green eyes involuntarily looked at the young priest on the side again and again.Your Majesty, what is the matter on the other side of the palace, Pharaoh's study.Ramses stood in front of the window, pacing slowly back and forth.In his hands he held three delicate pouches, dyed in different colors gold, green, and red.The seal of the Eye of Horus is drawn with sapphire blue and gold thread, and the mouth of the bag is tightly sealed by double ropes, and a small copper lock is fastened on top of it.He looked at the neat and clean blue and white stone floor under his feet, and his mind quickly calculated something, and his angular lips pursed slightly.I don't know how long it took, as if he had finally made up his mind, he stopped pacing, turned around and pushed open the heavy wooden door of the study, and walked in the direction of the dormitory.Although Ivy's residence was moved to the Middle Palace, the number of people serving around it did not increase due to the presence of winter.At this time, it was getting late, and no one was moving around the middle palace.On a clear night, without wind, the moonlight poured coldly on the finely decorated cloister, and Ramses' footsteps fell on the neat rock-paved ground, and the sound of clattering was particularly silent against the quiet background.Turning a cloister, Ramses heard the sound of hurried footsteps, the sound of a thin and light voice, the steps of a woman, as if there was something quite important.The voice approached quickly, and it was about to turn the corner on the other side and meet Ramses.At such a time, this slightly nervous step cannot but be said to be very suspicious.Subconsciously, he put the three small bags in his hand into his arms, put his right hand on the sword at his waist, and cleared his throat slightly.His low cough seemed very abrupt in the night, and the person who came suddenly stopped, and after a few seconds, the crisp voice with hesitation, asked softly: "Who" is familiar with the tone, familiar with the etiquette, he couldn't help frowning, strode forward a few steps, turned the corner, grabbed the person's arm without saying a word, and blurted out without thinking: "Why didn't you stay in the house" Ivy raised her head suddenly, looking at Ramses very embarrassed.She really didn't expect him to return so quickly, and said that tonight's royal feast was very important, and she thought that Ramses would go to the banquet hall with Ritach away, and that he would not leave the table easily until midnight, and even if he did, he would not think of her little thing at such a critical moment.That's why she boldly used medicine to put Dong to sleep, and she planned to go to the secret prison to see if there was anything she could do to save her before she was sacrificed as a political tool.However, at this moment, she met the pharaoh who had just been angry with her, which was really much unexpected to her, so she didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so she subconsciously tightened the bag in her hand."

What are you doing here" Ramses looked at Ivy with an unnatural look on her face, and her gaze finally fell on the cloth bag she was clinging to."

What is that" Ivy subconsciously hid the cloth bag in her hand behind her, "Nothing, the girl's things, don't bother Your Majesty to look at it" Ramses was noncommittal, raised his eyes slightly, looked away from the cloth bag, seemed to give up the topic, and asked casually: "What about Winter" "Ah" Ivy was stunned, just wanted to say that Winter had something to leave, but after thinking about it, Ramses said that if Winter let himself run out casually, he would definitely not be spared, and he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment and couldn't speak.But at the moment when Ivy was distracted, the young monarch had quickly reached behind her, grabbed the cloth bag, and pulled it down with force.Before Ivy could react, the cloth bag had already fallen apart, and all the contents fell to the ground at once.It was obviously night, but the moonlight was damn bright, so that the contents of the cloth bag could be seen at a glance.The maid's clothes, her blue wig, her masked silk scarf, and, of course, a considerable amount of gold.Ivy only felt the strength of her grip on her wrist gradually increase, making her exhale softly in pain.However, at this time, her mind was blank, and she didn't know where she had gone, and she couldn't say a word at the moment.These props are too suspicious, and their purpose can be light or serious, she must calm down, and she must find a reason to reduce the likelihood of being killed by him in a fit of rage before he convicts her of a terrible crime.Perhaps driven by genuine fear, inspiration popped into her mind, and she hurriedly looked up, trying to throw out her excuse, while Ramses was looking up, amber eyes looking at her.In just one second when the four eyes met, all the prepared words came to their lips, but they were suddenly stopped by some powerful force and swallowed back into their stomachs.At that moment, Ivy felt a earth-shaking pain in her heart.Oppugn.Questioning, how to explain the feeling of suspicion, suspicion, suspicion, suspicion that he must have thought that she wanted to escape from the palace, after she tried her best to help Duo, restore Tissi's identity, and find the Eye of Horus for herself, broke her promise, left her promise to him, and walked away.He must have thought that she was just taking advantage of him and his trust.He didn't believe her.He had never believed her.Feelings of frustration swept over us.It's like sitting on a fragile wooden boat, drifting in the middle of the ocean.The ship broke, and the sea rushed into the tiny hull.She was at a loss to watch as her body was soaked in cold sensations, as she sank deeper and deeper into the dark ocean with no end in sight.Suddenly, a large hand patted her gently, and he looked at her expressionlessly.She was puzzled and looked back at him."

Don't cry."

He sighed, gently holding her face with both hands, and gently brushing his slightly rough thumb over her delicate cheeks, "I said, don't cry."

In that case, don't ask me to repeat it again. ”The temperature of his fingertips was like a magical spell.It wasn't until the moment she touched it that she suddenly felt a bunch of liquid slip across her face, changing from hot to room temperature, and finally to cold.Is she crying, there is always a reason to cry.Then why did he cry again, because he doubted her, because he no longer loved her, or because even though he was his sister, even if he had no feelings for himself, she still liked him and loved him so strongly, that every time he came into contact with her, it was like setting off a storm, and she would be so overwhelmed, and he would lose control in front of him again and again, and make all kinds of mistakes that even she herself could not believe.No matter how painful it was, no matter how desperate it was, I couldn't make up my mind to give up.And his gentleness, the tenderness he hadn't shown to her for a long time, was like a tiny spark faintly bursting out of the ashes that had burned out.Jumping and crackling, tiny enough to illuminate anything, but so dazzling that it was impossible to ignore in any way.But if she continues like this, she will be inseparable from him She gently took a half step back, avoiding his gaze, and wiped away her tears with her hand, "Don't think crooked, I'm still waiting for the Eye of Horus, so I won't escape from the palace in disguise so easily."

I'm just curious about the royal feast tonight, it's just that I really want to go over and see the world," he froze, his hands still resting on her cheeks.She stiffly took half a step back, and her unemotional explanation seemed to break his subconscious behavior at that moment.He froze, not knowing what to say, just staring blankly at his big hand hanging in the air, as if he didn't know how to react next.After a second, he lowered his hand heavily with a slight force, looked away from her direction, and replied to her lightly: "That's it" "Well, that's it."

I know it's not good for me in the afternoon, but you should have invited me to this feast as well.Most of my presence is also in your overall planning, you take me there, and I will fully cooperate with your plan. ”Ivy hung her head and whispered.It doesn't matter if she is used, even if she is willing to go, let alone such a trivial matter.She wanted to help him, she wanted to be able to help him."

Ah, is it" His voice was hesitant and unclear like he had never been before, as if he was still thinking, but as if he didn't know what he was talking about, but after all, he didn't seem to be going to investigate what Ivy was going to do with these disguised things, and just said lightly, "Then go ahead." ”She raised her head and forced a forced smile, his expressionless face reflected in her silver-gray eyes, "Okay, I'll go now."

That's right, do you have something to do here, do you want to go about your own business first" Hearing this, Ramses subconsciously clasped the three small bags hidden in front of his chest with his hands, the contents of the bags seemed to be about to burn, and he only felt that his fingers were burning as if they were burning.But it was only for a second that he hid his expression deeply.He turned his back to Ivy and said coldly, "No, nothing." ”"But," "Aren't you going to follow me to the dinner party, and if I say anything more, I'll surely hold you accountable for your faults tonight." ”Ramses didn't intend to continue the conversation he had just made, he had already taken a step and walked quickly back to the atrium.Ivy didn't think about it, so she hurriedly packed the gold and clothes on the ground and trotted all the way in the direction Ramses had left.It seems that Ivy will inevitably play an important role in the night banquet, otherwise how could he easily let her go of such a big event just now Ivy was secretly happy in her heart.Suddenly, Ivy saw the Pharaoh, who was walking briskly ahead, suddenly stop and turn around, his amber eyes fixed on her.She was stunned for a moment, then stopped, and instinctively took a step back.The two looked at each other for about two seconds, and Ivy finally found a round-the-table sentence, but before she could speak, Ramses strode up to her, grabbed the package in her arms, and said to her coldly, "If you want Winter's life, just slip away." ”Hey, this is clearly a threat to Ivy and wants to protest loudly.But with this sentence, he threw those disguised things into the bushes next to the cloister without hesitation, and then took Ivy's hand a little roughly, completely ignoring Ivy's dissatisfaction, and continued to walk briskly in the direction of the atrium."

Pharaoh has arrived" and "Princess Ivy has arrived," the guards energetically reported the names of the last two guests of honor for the dinner.As soon as the words fell, the royal family, courtiers, musicians, and artists in the hall all stopped what they were doing, stood up in unison, bent down deeply in the direction of the pharaoh, and bowed with great respect.Ramses walked in, walking as unhurried as usual.He walked to the front and took a seat between Nefertari and Camillota.The slender fingers pointed slightly to the last seat of the royal family under the hall, and immediately a waiter quickly ran up with a chair and respectfully made a "please take a seat" gesture to Ivy.The people in the hall were all well-dressed and luxurious for the royal feast.And Ivy was only dressed in a plain white single dress, and she didn't even have a decent piece of jewelry on her.She looked around quickly, and under the superficially respectful faces of the people, they secretly cast a little disdain and disdain at her.She ignored the judgmental glances, and just looked up in Ramses' direction.The throne, and the last seat of the royal family, were so far apart, and Nefertari and Camillotta were so close to him.She could feel Nefertari's surprise and displeasure at seeing her, and the uncontrollable hatred and pain from her heart.Ivy bit her lip and ended up sitting in the seat that Ramses had pointed out to her.She saw a woman sitting at the head of the royal seat, turned her head, and smiled slightly at herself through the middle of the few people.The man also had a pair of amber eyes, which looked particularly deep and beautiful in the brilliant light.She had barely sat down and had no time to smile at the woman when Ramses bowed her head lightly and said in a nonchalant and polite tone, "Please take a seat, everyone."

This dinner was held for Goddess Hathor and continued the relaxed atmosphere of the duck hunt in the afternoon.All of you here are the people who are very important to me in Egypt, and you are the ones who have gained the trust and reliance of the God Amun.You can relax as much as possible, and there is no need to be overly restrictive. ”After speaking, he raised the cup in front of him and took a sip of it.The ministers thanked them again and again, and they took a sip of wine.Having said that, the tension in the hall was not alleviated by the pharaoh's speech.Whether it is the goddess of Hator or the god Amun, whatever the name, it is just a high-sounding reason to put a crown on this royal feast.No one knew how the young ruler, seated at the table, would react at this feast.It was just a simple temptation, or he had already made a ruthless decision in his heart, and regarded this night banquet as a reproduction of the Hongmen banquet a few years ago, if it was the latter, and if it was the latter, which side would be the one who was correcting the Dharma on the spot today, which side of Siman or Omhund was a matter of life and death, who dared to really relax The pharaoh was silent, his eyes staring at the inner hall.The band began to play again, and the dancers in the center of the hall began to dance enthusiastically again.Once again, the eyes of the people were drawn to the hall, but their minds were still speculating on Pharaoh's thoughts.Seaman stroked his goatee's mustache slightly, Omhond wiped his forehead with a handkerchief, Camillotta kept flicking her fingernails against the grapes on her plate, and Nefertari clasped her hands together, her fingers straining so hard that they were red and white.Even if Ivy was a nerd, she could feel the tension lurking in the crowded atrium.Although she boasted that she wanted to help Ramses, she actually had no idea what was about to happen, and of course, it was not clear whether Ramses had put her in her own plan.She couldn't help but smile slightly wryly, forcing her gaze to look away from Ramses."

Ivy."

The kind female voice rang in her ears, so suddenly that Ivy, who was immersed in her own thoughts, almost jumped up from her stool.She quickly adjusted her expression and turned her head away.The person who came was the woman who had just looked at her.She was about thirty years old, tall and elegant, with a gentle, quiet smile on her face.Before she could react, several people next to her had already stood up and bowed respectfully to the visitor, "Her Royal Highness Princess Tia." ”Princess Tia was Ramses' sister.She looked for something to do with herself, and this body had anything to do with her, and Ivy hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Your Royal Highness, Princess." ”Tiya waved her hand lightly, motioning for everyone to sit down, and she stood in front of Ivy, "Why do you call me so, don't you always call me Sister Wang when you are so unfamiliar" Ivy was stunned for a moment, and quickly smiled and changed her words: "I'm sorry, Sister Wang, I was confused for a while." ”Tia nodded, then took a heavy gold bracelet with hollow emerald gold from her wrist, and took Ivy's hand without saying a word, and put it on."

This night banquet is so important, I don't remember to dress neatly, no matter how you say that you are also a person sitting in the royal family, don't let people see jokes."

Ivy subconsciously looked at the others in the hall, and quickly nodded a little embarrassed.At this time, I really hope that Dong is by her side, and she is a little confused about the situation, but she doesn't dare to ask rashly.Tia bowed slightly, and said softly to Ivy, "I've heard something about you lately.It's a good thing that Brother Wang is willing to recognize your status, don't resist his will at will, otherwise everything you cherish will turn into a bubble on the surface of the Nile, do you understand what I said, he is the pharaoh of Great Egypt after all. ”At this point, a trace of gloom crossed Princess Tia's face, and although it was only fleeting, it was still noticed by Ivy's sharp eyes.Before she could clear her mind, Tia threw her a smile and said, "I've talked too much," as she turned around and walked straight to her seat, where her curling figure sat at the head of the royal family.The various records left in the present world say that Ramses had the best relationship with his sister Tia and his biological mother, the Empress Dowager Tuya, and also trusted them the most, so the sadness on Princess Tia's face just now was the reason for the imperceptible resentment in her words, and where it came from.Ivy unconsciously turned her head to look at Ramses, who was peeling a grape with her own hands and handing it to the young pharaoh with a charming smile.The young man with amber eyes took it expressionlessly and put it in his mouth very naturally.Although the two did not do anything overly intimate, it was clear that Ramses had long since become accustomed to Camillota's actions.Thinking of this, Ivy suddenly felt a pain in her heart, and her breathing became a little unsmooth."

Ladies and gentlemen," Ramses suddenly spoke, and a faint voice slowly flowed out, and the silence in the hall was restored to the silence when he entered, and the young pharaoh slowly got up and slowly said to everyone present, "Everyone seems to feel that this banquet is less interesting, and I know that you all seem to have something to say in your heart. ”He paused for about ten seconds, his light eyes sweeping over everyone present, before he continued, "Why don't we have a game, and whoever wins can get any promise from me."

Whether it's gold, precious stones, power, beauty, a BMW, or the life of a slave or a waiter, I can satisfy him unconditionally. ”There was an uproar in the room, and some slave or attendant pharaoh was not hinting at the life of Shept in the prison that had caused the dispute, and Nefertari and Omkhund exchanged glances quickly, and then looked at Siman in unison, and the two sides looked at each other, secretly arguing.Pharaoh's hand pointed to Nefertari, "Queen, it's up to you to decide what to bet on." ”As soon as the words fell, a smug smile appeared on Omhonde's face, and before this smugness could last for a second, Ramses turned to Camillota again, "Camillota, you decide who will participate in the game."

You are the one who makes the rules, and while you are free to choose who will participate in the game against you, even if one of you wins, it is not a victory.Queen, it's up to you to start. ”At this point, Ivy understood that perhaps Pharaoh had not intended to give an answer from the beginning, and he didn't care whether Sheput lived or died at all, he just wanted to settle the matter quickly without favoring either of the two groups.The antagonism between the two groups is not a bad thing for him, and taking sides with either side will be detrimental to his rule, so why should he bother to adopt such a ridiculous and unexpected solution, perhaps to show that he does not care.But to put Sheput's life in the hands of a stupid game, Ivy only felt a pang in her heart when she thought of the little maid who was always smiling sweetly and circling around her.What should she do?

Before Ivy could figure out a reason, Nefertari had already stood up, his eyes under the dark green shadow showed a little unhappiness, and his brows furrowed slightly, "Why don't you just play Senit chess with me, if you beat me, you will win." ”There was a lot of uproar in the arena, Senit was a popular board game in ancient Egypt, and there were as many as six sets of board games in the tomb of King Tutankhamun, including Senit.This kind of chess is mainly played by using four long sticks to roll points according to the front and back, and then move the pieces according to the rules on the 30-grid chessboard, and the first person to reach the end will win.It has long been recorded that Queen Neferthali was very keen on this chess, and even in her tomb, you can see a mural of her playing chess.Since you dare to say this project on the premise that you don't know who will come forward to challenge, you must be sure to be in your chest.At this time, Camillotta stood up, and her sweet voice was a little lazy, showing a unique feminine charm.She looked around, and finally, choosing one of the people sitting in the column at Seaman's side, "It's up to you, Swallow." ”Tun Hu is a member of the Architectural Academy, a subordinate of the Minister of Architecture, May.May herself did not have a clear preference for the rivalry between the Siman or Omrund factions, and therefore did not give much thought to the origin of the personnel of the architectural institute.The eldest son of a lower-class nobleman, he served the Academy of Architecture for generations, and at the same time, he was also known for his erudition, proficient in various arithmetic and chess skills, and was Mei's protégé.But everyone also knows the reason why Camillotta chose him, Seaman is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, as early as Ramses I, he was kind to Tunhu's father, and Tunhu has always been grateful, and at this moment, he must be on Seaman's side.If he wins, he will inevitably demand Sheput's life, thus overpowering the old aristocracy's faction.Although it is rumored that the queen's chess skills are very good, after all, Tunhu has never played against her, and since Camillotta asked him to play, there must still be a certain chance of winning.Camillotta sat down and watched with satisfaction as Tunhu stepped forward.The waiter quickly set up the Senit chessboard and four bone sticks for throwing.The two of them sat down, at the behest of Pharaoh, and beside them stood a civil official, who sang every step aloud to the people in the hall.Although Ivy didn't know anything about Senit, it should be said that three thousand years later, the specific rules of this ancient chess technique have long been lost, and no one really understands how it was played in its heyday.However, in such a situation, Ivy has a strong premonition that Nefertari will win easily, leaving no suspense.She glanced up at Ramses, where the young monarch was leaning casually in his comfortable chair with his slender eyes narrowed slightly, as if attentive but indifferently watching the game.At this moment, Ritach walked up and whispered something in his ear.Suddenly, his expression froze, his handsome eyebrows furrowed tightly, and his pale amber eyes looked sharply in Ivy's direction.She hurriedly lowered her head, letting her hair block her expression.In the haze, she seemed to see him take something out of his bosom and hand it to Ritach, and then the black-haired priest very carefully put away what the pharaoh had given him, nodded, and then turned and walked towards the door.At this time, Ramses's face was already infected with a very unhappy emotion.He was originally a person who was very good at hiding his emotions, or rather, he did not have a very strong sense of joy, anger and sorrow, but at this time, his emotions, his anger, seemed to have an irrepressible meaning, and it was shown through that angular face.Somehow, something had touched his nerves, and Ivy thought to herself, praying that it had nothing to do with her.Soon after, the civil servant loudly announced: "Your Majesty, win" Ivy sat far from the chessboard, and it was impossible to see how the pieces were placed, but the expression of the swallow was clear enough to show that Nefertari's victory was easy, and he was not given half a chance to turn the table.With a look of frustration on his face, Seaman watched as he walked back to his seat with a look of shame on his face.Before Nefertari could return to his seat, Camillotta suddenly stood up, adding a bit of radical sharpness to her languid voice, "I should choose someone first in the next game." ”Nefertari's chess skills are well known, and it is clear that no one of Seaman's subordinates will be able to defeat her.No matter who Camillotta says she will choose, as long as Nefertari has a choice in the final game, then at most everyone will be here to play chess with her for the next night, and no one will be able to take advantage of anything.Thinking of this, Ivy exhaled softly, and suddenly, she felt that her eyes fell on her, and she was about to subconsciously raise her head to meet her, but she only heard Camillotta say: "The next person, I choose Princess Ivy" When she heard her name, Ivy's mind buzzed, and she didn't know what to do.The first reaction was to rejoice, because he lost to Nefertari in this way, and in the end he could still save Sheput's life.The second reaction was to wonder why Camillotta didn't choose the people in Seaman's team, and she picked herself, she looked up in confusion and saw Nefertari's face full of scruples, and everyone's expectant expression.Ivy suddenly had some measurements in her heart: it is not surprising that this silver-haired princess is a master of Senit chess, she is weak and unsociable, she stays in the deep palace all day, and it is not unusual for her to like to play chess.But why did you choose Ivy Is Camitrota so sure that she will take Sheput's life Thinking about it again, Sheput is indeed very disgusted with herself in this world, and even speaks ill of herself.There was a lot of gossip in the palace, and the matter of Nefertari's little princess almost cost Ivy her life.In everyone's minds, even if she didn't belong to Siman's faction, it was only natural that she would be dissatisfied with Nefertari.Nefertari's scruples may be that he is afraid of taking revenge on himself or Scheput by choosing a project that Ivy is good at and letting her win accidentally.Thinking about this, Ivy couldn't help but sigh softly.She had no intention of harming Shept or Nefertari, but she was seen by everyone as the one most likely to be against them.Then again, if Nefertari chooses Senit, she won't be able to play at all, so how can she fool around at that time Ivy's gray eyes fell on Nefertari again, and the noble queen thought quietly for a moment, and her slightly nervous face showed her usual smile.She looked at Ivy with relief and said softly: "Then, Princess Ivy please come to the venue and dance at will, if Your Majesty says yes, then it will be passed." ”The courtiers all around whispered, and everyone's eyes fell on Ivy who was sitting still.She could clearly see the confidence in Omhonde's eyes.It's no wonder that Nefer Tali's choice is actually a rule, triple insurance.First of all, Princess Ivy, who is physically weak, is unlikely to dance; Secondly, even if he reluctantly jumped out, it is impossible to get praise from his mouth for the old man's attitude towards Ivy; In the end, the old man deliberately wanted to let Ivy pass the test for some purpose, and everyone present watched, Pharaoh, as an emperor, with his character, would not reverse black and white no matter what, and easily said yes.Nefer Tali is worthy of being a woman who stands out from many beauties and sits firmly in the back seat."

Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Seeing that Ramses was slow to express his position, Nefertari asked again with a smile.Ramses raised his glass and took a sip of wine, and said lightly: "Ivy is not in good health, let's exclude her from this game." ”This was the only time in the dinner that Pharaoh had a bias in his partiality at the dinner.For the vast majority of those present, it was clear that this sentence was intended to defend Nefertari's side.As soon as the words came out, Camillota's face immediately sank, the person was chosen by her, and Pharaoh deliberately excluded Ivy, who was a tricky candidate for Nefertari, but secretly leaned to the other side.She looked at her father, Seaman, and then looked at the young pharaoh with dissatisfaction.Ramses did not intend to explain further, nor did he look at anyone, but lowered his eyes slightly, and drank to himself, frowning slightly, immersed in his own thoughts.Nefertari couldn't help but show a relieved smile on his face, and quickly turned to Ivy and said, "Your Majesty has said so, if you have no opinion, please ask Camillotta to choose another one" "It's okay." ”The Queen's words were interrupted by a crisp voice, and all eyes were once again focused on the petite princess.Ramses stopped drinking, and his amber eyes looked at her indifferently.But she just stood quietly, her delicate lips set off a perfect arc, ignoring the surprise that came from all around, and just said steadily: "It's okay, I'm willing to accept this rule." ”t1706231537:
