Chapter 410 Important News from Egypt

While getting married is an important event, important news is equally important.

Looking at the Athenian soldiers who broke into the Temple of Mnemosyne, Roy asked solemnly.

"What important news do you bring?"

"The envoy of Queen Nafer of Egypt came to Athens yesterday, saying that she would launch a war against the Hyksos and drive the Hyksos out of northern Egypt completely. Because you are the husband of Queen Nafer of Egypt, so Queen Nafir of Egypt wants you to take part in this war and fulfill your responsibilities as a husband."

"Nafir is going to wage war on the Hyksos—"

Summers in Egypt are dry and hot, while winters are cool and comfortable.

When this season is about to turn from autumn to winter, it is not suitable for large-scale wars in the northern hemisphere, and large-scale wars can be waged in Egypt all year round.

So Nafir wanted to launch a war against the Hyksos at this time, Roy was not too surprised.

Feeling Harmonia grabbing her left hand with her two small hands, Roy said while holding her in his arms.

"Don't worry, I won't leave. Although Nafir is very important to me, you are more important than her in my heart. I will spend three days of wedding time with you, and I will wait until the fourth day. to go to Egypt."

Although Nefer's brother Kamose died in the war with the Hyksos, Kamose had already severely injured the Hyksos and severely wounded the Hyksos king Kepheus.

Now the strength of the southern Egyptians completely overwhelmed the Hyksos. Even without Roy's intervention in the war, Nafir would be able to defeat the Hyksos in the end, so Roy did not rush to Egypt.

After listening to Roy's words, Harmonia said with a happy sweet smile.

"Honey, during the three days that you are with me, I will prepare the ships and supplies for you to go to the Egyptian region, and then you will set off directly from the Ocaria port east of the Thebes region."

"Then you prepare five thousand iron guns, one thousand sets of saddles, stirrups and makai for me."

Athens city.

The Royal Palace of Athens on the Acropolis Hill.

In the magnificent palace hall.

Philomela smiled slyly while handling her work.

"Sister, the envoy of the Egyptian queen Nefer came in time. Is brother Roy rushing back to Athens now?"

"I do not know either……"

Procne frowned and said.

"Compared to Roy's marriage to Harmonia, we should be more concerned about Queen Nafer of Egypt."

Philomela nodded solemnly and said.

"Harmonia got to know Loy brother later than us, and her status can never surpass ours. But that Egyptian woman named Nafir, her worth is too amazing. This Egyptian woman ruled the Nile River Basin for seven years. Ten thousand square kilometers of fertile land, with 23 city-states and a population of 200 million. Her dowry is so rich, brother Roy will definitely give her special treatment. If she gave birth to brother Roy's child earlier than us, then our status— —”

"I trust Brother Roy!"

Procne said with a lack of confidence.

"Even if Queen Nafer of Egypt can bring greater benefits to Brother Roy, Brother Roy will not allow her to surpass us in status."

Just then, an Athenian soldier entered the hall and said.

"Two queens! I have told your majesty the news, but your majesty has not returned to Athens."

Hearing the news brought back by the soldiers, Procne and Philomela's eyes widened in surprise.

The war between the Southern Egyptians and the Hyksos will have a huge impact on the Athenian Empire.

This important war failed to make Roy leave Harmonia, which is enough to show how important Harmonia is in Roy's heart.

Before Procne and Philomela recovered, Andromeda broke into the hall and begged Procne.

"Your Majesty! I heard that Queen Nefer of Egypt is going to launch a war against us Hyksos. Please allow me to go to Thebes. I must seek your Majesty's help."

Andromeda was the princess of the Hyksos.

Now that the Egyptian queen Nafir is going to launch a war against the Hyksos, Andromeda will certainly not remain indifferent.

Just when Procne was hesitating whether to agree to her request, Philomela said with a smile.

"I agree, you can go to Thebes now!"

"Philomela—"

Procne glanced at her sister with some dissatisfaction, and then said to Andromeda.

"Today is the day when Brother Loy married Harmonia, you should go to Thebes tomorrow!"

After Andromeda left, Philomela pursed her lips and said to Procne.

"Sister, wouldn't it be better for Andromeda to make trouble for brother Roy?"

"We don't have to do that."

Procne said with a gentle smile.

"We are both the wives of Brother Loy, and we should get along like sisters. Even if you really don't like Harmonia, we are in Athens and she is in Thebes. We won't even meet. There's no need to target her."

"I'm not doing this for myself!"

Philomela explained.

"Brother Roy has a lot of women now, so it doesn't matter if we feel wronged. But the Athens Empire established by Brother Roy will be inherited by my sister and I's children in the future. Even if it's for our children, we should suppress it mercilessly Harmonia and other women."

Procne touched her flat belly, and then glanced at Philomela's unchanged slender waist.

"Even if you really want to suppress them for the sake of the children, you have to wait until we have children first!"

"Brother Roy is either engaged in a war, or on his way to the battlefield. We have been married to brother Roy for three months, and brother Roy has only been with us for eleven days. How can this make us pregnant?"

said Philomela, rolling her beautiful big eyes.

"Sister... why don't you do all the work, and I will accompany Brother Luoy. After I get pregnant, I will return to Athens City to complete all the work, and then my sister will accompany Brother Luoy."

"That's a good idea."

Procne agreed.

"Then you and Andromeda will go to Thebes City tomorrow to find brother Roy."

Procne agreed with his idea without hesitation, but Philomela said with a hesitant expression.

"But I can't bear to be separated from my sister... Although brother Roy is very important, my sister is as important as brother Roy. I will feel distressed if I let my sister handle all the work alone..."

"Silly girl, then you want to give up the idea just now?"

Philomela threw herself into Procne's arms, hugged Procne tightly with both hands and said.

"I've grown up so much, and I've never been separated from my sister. Even when we serve brother Loy, we fulfill our responsibilities as wives together. How can I leave my sister alone..."

Procne also embraced Philomela with both hands, and said with a gentle smile.

"Philomela, don't worry about having children. Even if other women give birth, it doesn't mean that their children will become heirs."
