I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 312 Andromeda and Nafir

Pharaoh's palace in Itawi city.

Nafer, who had become the queen of Egypt, and Roy returned to the hall where the throne was located. Nafer excitedly pulled Roy to sit on her throne and said.

"Honey, now I have finally become a real female pharaoh. Next, you will lead our army to expel the Hyksos and fulfill Brother Kamose's last wish!"

Hearing Nafel's request, Roy shook his head without hesitation.

Because for Roy, the Kingdom of Athens can establish a stable rule in Egypt only if the Egyptians and the Hyksos have a close confrontation.

If Roy helped Nafir expel the Hyksos, then Nafir would definitely demand the recovery of the Egyptian lands ruled by the Kingdom of Athens.

"Nafel! I have been away from Athens for a long time, so I must return to Athens next. If you must start a war with the Hyksos, then you can only let your generals fight The Hyksos fought. If you don’t want to lose the war, train your soldiers first and give them equipment and weapons.”

Although Nafir now has 12 troops available, this army not only has [-] recruits, but [-] of them use wooden sticks as weapons and have no armor to protect their bodies.

Such an army only has an advantage in numbers. If it really fights with the Hyksos army, the chance of losing the war is at least half.

Although Nafir has no experience in commanding an army, she also knows that the Hyksos army is very powerful. Even her elder brother Kamose often loses to the Hyksos in battles. Superiority in numbers consumes the number of Hyksos soldiers.

Roy refused to fight the Hyksos, Nafir said with a displeased face.

"Without you, a powerful demigod hero, it is impossible for my army to defeat the Hyksos. Since you are going back to the city of Athens temporarily, I will wait for you to come back before fighting the Hyksos. But Before you leave, you must marry me first and let me conceive your child. As the descendant of the Pharaoh's royal family, I have the responsibility to continue the bloodline of the family. And I have no heir now. Once I die suddenly, Egypt will definitely There will be civil strife for the throne."

"We have already agreed that as long as you sell the grain to the Kingdom of Athens, I will marry you. You don't have to worry about me breaking my promise."

"Then I will arrange the wedding now. Tomorrow we will go to the Temple of Sekhmet and become husband and wife under the witness of Goddess Sekhmet and all the priests and noble priests of the temple in Itawi City."

After Nafel started working on the wedding, Roy went back to his room alone.

Seeing Andromeda standing at the window looking to the north, Roy walked behind Andromeda and said.

"Your Uncle Phineus is the murderer of Kamose - that's what I told Nafiel."

Seeing Andromeda turn around and stare at him in surprise, Roy continued.

"I did this not to destroy your relationship with Nafel, let alone to let Nafel bully you, I just want Nafel to know the truth. Tomorrow I will hold a wedding with Nafel, and the day after tomorrow I will Take you to the city of Athens, so you don't have to worry that Nafir will keep bullying you, and even find a chance to kill you."

"You're going to marry Nafel—"

Upon hearing the news, Andromeda looked at Roy with a painful expression and said.

"Since you are going to be Nafer's husband, you will definitely join the Egyptians and become the enemy of our Hyksos in the future. Maybe you will kill my father and my son to please Nafer. Uncle and my brothers. Even if you don’t kill them, you will humiliate them by making them captives and slaves—just as you humiliate me now by making me a slave.”

"I will become enemies with the Hyksos, it is already preordained."

Looking at Andromeda's small face, Roy shook his head and said.

"No - I have long been an enemy of the Mycenaeans, a branch of your Hyksos, which means that I have long been an enemy of your Hyksos."

"Then you regarded me as an enemy from the very beginning, and never thought of marrying me?"

Roy shook his head again and said.

"I thought about marrying you, and then let the Hyksos integrate into the Kingdom of Athens, and give up the belief and worship of Zeus. It's a pity that you did something stupid to betray me, so I had to give up marrying you, and let the Hyksos The people of Shos were integrated into the kingdom of Athens."

The responsibility for the Hyksos not being able to integrate into the Kingdom of Athens was on their own——

Being charged with a crime related to the life and death of the Hyksos by Roy, Andromeda seemed to be carrying a huge mountain on her back, and her legs softened and she knelt down in front of Roy, crying and pleading.

"You still can't forgive me? I have learned my lesson and never dare to betray you again."

Looking at Andromeda's pitiful appearance, Luo Yi stretched out his right hand to pinch her chin and said.

"I want me to forgive you—it's not impossible! But you have to be a slave for at least half a year before I will give you a chance to get rid of your status as a slave."

half a year——

With a specific time to get rid of slavery, Andromeda laughed and cried happily.

Roy lifted Andromeda from the ground with both hands, hugged her in his arms, and said while stroking her back with his right hand to comfort her.

"Hurry up and sort out your mood, you are easy to get sick now."

"Um……"

Andromeda agreed, and then grabbed Roy's golden belt dishonestly with both hands.

Realizing that Andromeda wanted to take off his golden belt, Roy said with a displeased expression.

"Don't do what you shouldn't do."

After speaking, Roy pushed Andromeda away from his arms, then turned and left.

Andromeda, who was left alone in the room, whispered with a determined expression on her face.

"There is not much time left for us Hyksos. For the future of our Hyksos, even if I can't get his favor, I want to get his child. In the future, my child will become a Hyksos The king of the people, can he deal with the Hyksos ruthlessly and not give us a way out for the Hyksos?"

the next day.

According to the agreement, Roy came to the Sekhmet Temple with Nafir.

After completing the holy wedding ceremony in the presence of Goddess Sekhmet, all the temple priests and priestly nobles, Loi and Nafir returned to the Pharaoh's palace.

The Queen's Bedroom.

Standing at the window looking in the direction of the city of Athens, Roy was thinking about whether to become a de facto couple with Nafer.

Thinking of Procne and Philomela who would meet him soon, Roy finally made up his mind and turned around and said.

"Nafel! Although I married you for food, I still can't become a de facto couple with you. I'm sorry for my fiancée now, so I want to become a de facto couple with my fiancée first."

Hearing what Roy said, Nafer, who was lying on the bed waiting for Roy, said calmly.

"I also don't want to be pregnant now, so that I can't rule Egypt as queen."

After finishing speaking, Nafer immediately turned his back to Roy.

Until then, there were tears in her eyes.
