Pharaoh

In the afternoon, because of the thick clouds in the sky, the looming sunlight is not very dazzling, but occasionally a few strands leak from the gaps in the clouds, reflecting bright light on the crystal clear stream.

There is a slight breeze, not very strong, just enough to take away a little heat in the afternoon.

This lukewarm and comfortable climate is a good time to exercise your muscles.

Two loyal servants were standing bored by the stream.

The attendant who served the blond prince with the noble blood of the Egyptian royal family leaned under a big tree, watching a green leaf blown by the wind flutter and flutter down from his head, with a bored look on his face .

Another black-haired attendant was sitting on a large gray-white rock by the stream, seemingly thinking about something, with a preoccupied look, and looked up from time to time.

"Because your arm is not strong enough, a lighter rapier is more suitable for you."

The blond boy who is the temporary master is reprimanding his temporary disciple.

"You know you're not as strong as me, but you still bump into me head-on, can you be more 'smart'?"

"At this time, the first thing you need to do is not think about how to suppress the opponent, but think about how to use skills to remove the opponent's strength that is stronger than you."

"Also, as I have said many times, your grip on the sword is too weak, and you can't even hold your own weapon steadily, let alone how to use it flexibly."

Today is already the No. 11 game where Adun knocked the sword out of his hand and let him teach himself a lesson in dejection.

Well, although he knew in physical education class a long time ago that he had no athletic talent, the poor results he thought he had studied seriously during this period of time reminded him of this tragic fact again.

As Yaden said, he really doesn't have any talent for learning swordsmanship, he can even be said to be extremely slow.

Although Raz, Yaden's servant, never said anything to him, every time he was teaching him, Raz couldn't help revealing such a horrible look on his face.

Yaden looked at the game who lowered his head dejectedly and looked a little listless, the corners of his mouth raised upwards.

In fact, the game as a beginner is not as bad as imagined, today he is just being a little harsher on purpose.

Because his little cousin is so cute, he can't help being bullied.

But now it seems that he can't hold back the bullying for a while.

……

Aden thought so, standing behind Yugi, with his hands on his shoulders.

"Don't stretch your shoulders too tight, so you can't move."

He patted the tense shoulder lightly, motioning for the game to relax.

The right hand stretched down, and covered the hand holding the hilt of the sword that was slightly smaller than himself although it had a similar complexion.

"Telling you to relax your shoulders doesn't mean you should loosen your hands and hold them tightly."

He said, holding the opponent's hand tightly and tightening the hilt of the sword.

He flicked his fingers, slightly adjusted the game's sword-holding gesture, and then led him to swing the sword.

The sword light cut an arc in the air neatly, shining a sharp cold light that could never shine in the hands of the young brother Wang.

"...Am I really that bad?"

This afternoon, the game was almost useless by Arden, and he couldn't help being discouraged.

Because of the posture, almost the whole person was nestled in Yaden's arms, unable to turn around, so in order to talk to Yaden, he had to tilt his head back as hard as possible, just in time to meet Yaden's lowered gaze.

There was a little bit of dissatisfaction and a little bit of grievance in the big violet eyes.

Arden laughed, and the light from his golden hair fell into his dark pupils, making his eyes look warm.

He didn't answer his cousin's question, but just stroked the soft hair.

"Take a rest first."

Yaden said, taking the sword from Yuyu's hand, inserting it back into the scabbard, turning around and throwing it to his attendant.

Raz nodded knowingly, turned around and walked towards the huge house not far away, and asked the servant to bring some fruits with sufficient water content.

He could hear the conversation between his master and the Egyptian king's brother very clearly.

Cut~~ Master Arden will bully people.

The loyal servant slandered and wondered when his once proud master developed the bad habit of bullying.

A young girl appeared in the woods not far away and walked up along the stream.

She looked up and saw two teenagers sitting at a stone table near the stream, smiling and talking, their cheeks were slightly red, but luckily it was not obvious because of their dark skin, she had been living in this remote town for a long time. It was the first time she saw such a handsome man at such an age, and she couldn't help being moved.

The younger boy seemed to be planning to live here for a long time, and happened to be her neighbor.Although the older teenagers didn't live here, they would come here every other day or two.

Her elderly mother once told her that the two teenagers looked either rich or noble, and it was best not to provoke them, lowly commoners like herself.But after getting along for a while, I found that the two boys were not scary people, especially the cute looking boy who was very kind and kind to others, and her mother liked him very much.Seeing that there is no female relative in his family, he often asks her to bring some homemade cooked food.

She baked some sweet pancakes at home just now, and after thinking about them, she sent them over. She didn't expect that blond boy to come today.

Subconsciously, she quickened her pace and walked over.

"By the way, where's your elder brother? I don't seem to have seen him recently. Have you gone out?"

He greeted the girl, and Youyou asked casually. He remembered that when he first settled down here, there was a young man who was much older than her at the girl's house. He looked very smart and strong, and he was said to have been on the battlefield.

I had a good chat with him, but I haven't seen him for a while.

"Well, brother is going to participate in the competition in the city. It would be great if he can be selected by the mayor as the captain of the town's soldiers."

"Is that so..."

Without asking any more questions, You Yu picked up a piece of crispy pancake and took a bite.

In fact, as a modern person who is used to eating delicious food such as cakes and cookies, after coming to ancient Egypt and enjoying the highest treatment as the king's brother, this kind of pancake is difficult to eat.

But it was impossible to say such words in a game. He smiled at the girl and picked up another piece naturally.

The girl also laughed happily, but when she took a peek at Adun, she lowered her head and looked a little gloomy.

Although the group of old men were unwilling to hand over power to Yaden, his identity as a royal bloodline and as the young master of the old men was there, and they dared not neglect him on the surface.

And probably with the idea of ​​using sugar-coated bullets to train him into a waste, the old men have always supported him well, and his luxury in clothing, food, housing and transportation is definitely no worse than that of a real Egyptian prince.

Therefore, he naturally looked down on this kind of poor bread from ordinary people's homes.Even if it was handed to him, he didn't bother to glance at it, let alone eat it.

Yu Yu glanced at the girl with a gloomy expression, and then glanced at the pancake in her hand.

"tasty."

He smiled and raised his head, staring at Adun with light purple eyes, and passed the pancake in his hand.

"Even if you're not hungry, why don't you eat something?"

Yaden was blowing in the wind, and when he heard this, he turned his head and met the girl who was watching him nervously. The girl blushed and lowered her head.

Seeing the girl's reaction, and looking at his cousin who was smiling brightly at him with that immature and lovely face, Yaden lowered his head, and directly bit the small crispy pancake that Yuyu held up to him, Swallowed it casually.

"I've practiced here today, I'm sweating...you go and change your clothes."

Knowing that it was for his own sake and worrying about catching a cold, You You obediently stood up and walked towards the big house not far away.

As soon as he moved, the black-haired attendant sitting on the gray-white rock also stood up, and quickly followed his footsteps.

The girl who was left alone with the blond boy looked left and right and saw no one, and suddenly looked cramped.

She opened her lips, trying to say something casually, but she didn't know what to say.

But she was speechless in a daze, but Arden stood up.

"do not bother me."

Arden's tone of voice sounded casual.

He walked very crisply, and his golden hair reflected bright light in the sun.

Of course, he knew what the girl was thinking.

As for how his words would hurt the girl, he didn't bother to care.

A gentle and handsome boy will always make the heart of a Huaichun girl.

But the blond boy with the blood of the royal family has never been a kind and gentle person, and his rebelliousness can often make those old men very angry.His indifference and arrogance always make those who want to approach him shy away in fear.

It's just that every time the girl saw him, he was with his cousin.

In this way, the tragic misunderstanding that is now generated.

-

On the outskirts of the royal palace of Thebes, the capital of Egypt, the guards who had just got off the night guard gathered together to discuss something in a low voice.

"You are a newcomer and you don't know it. In fact, besides the king, the former king originally had an illegitimate child."

"Yes, the king has always loved that younger brother very much."

"However, Brother Wang is also very unlucky. He was cursed by someone in the rebel army, controlled by someone, and went to assassinate the king."

"Hey...that's it, who knows if it's really controlled by someone, or if it's just..."

"Although the gods protected the king and saved the king from disaster, the curse on brother Wang could not be undone in the end. I heard that he died of illness just like that."

"Alas, Brother Wang treats people really well. Because Wang has always doted on him, so as long as he is around, we can all relax more than usual. Unfortunately..."

"What's the use of saying this now?"

"Hey, but I heard that Brother Wang didn't die of illness, but he absconded secretly because he was afraid that the king would pursue him."

"I seem to have heard that too. It is said that Wang secretly sent people around to search for him and bring him back."

"Hey? Why did I hear that it's different from yours. It is said that it was because the king was unwilling to punish the younger brother, and the younger brother felt ashamed of the king and secretly left the palace. The king has always wanted to find him..."

"My hearing is different from the two of you, ah, anyway, we don't know anything about the deep palace."

Gossip is not just a female nature.

When a bunch of boring men get together, the gossip spirit buried deep in their natures will be brought into full play.

The old guards talked in a hurry, which made a new young guard startled.Although he couldn't get in a word, he opened his eyes wide and listened with gusto.

"What are you doing here!"

A stern shout interrupted them, and the middle-aged head guard who walked quickly frowned and stared at them.

"If you are laid off, leave the palace as soon as possible!"

Looking at his group of subordinates running so fast, the middle-aged head guard was a little dumbfounded.

When he turned his head, he saw the new guard standing there blankly and somewhat dazedly, with a displeased look on his face.

"Based on your background, you are not qualified to be a guard in the palace. At most, it would be good to be a soldier in that town." He said, "But you are lucky, Mr. Fairy happened to pass by there, see you Your skill is not bad, so I specially brought you to Thebes and entrusted you to me."

He stared at the new guards sternly, "Just do your job well, don't gossip around with those guys."

He reprimanded him for a while, seeing that the guard lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word, he turned and left in satisfaction.

It took a long time for the guard to raise his head carefully, and when he saw that his boss had gone away, he subconsciously let out a breath.

He is a newcomer and unfamiliar with the place of life, so naturally he dare not conflict with anyone.Those old guards insisted on grabbing him to gossip, how dare he run away first?What's more, he has always been a curious guy, and he is very interested in the so-called secret history of the royal family.

While thinking about the interesting things he heard just now, he left here absent-mindedly.

However, as a new guard who came to be on duty outside the palace on the first day, as a completely ignorant commoner who came from a small place, without the guidance of his seniors, he was sadly lost in the palace.

Going around in such a huge palace, he couldn't find the way out.

Because he was wearing an ornament of a guard on duty, the soldiers who occasionally patrolled or the maids who passed by carrying food and water just looked at him a few more times and didn't question him, and he didn't dare to talk to them.

After walking for a while, he knelt down angrily and held his head.

He was thinking about what to do next, his eyes swept aimlessly, and suddenly found a few people walking by not far away.

One of the familiar figures from the back made him startled, and his face immediately beamed with joy.

Great, he finally met an acquaintance!

Although he only knew that person for a few days before he left that remote town, but after all, he still knew each other.

Since entering the royal capital of Thebes, he has been alone and anxious, and when he saw an acquaintance, he felt excited from the bottom of his heart.

Because he was too excited, he ignored some subtle differences.

He rushed over excitedly, laughing loudly while trying to grab the acquaintance's arm.

"Aren't you the one... I said you came to the palace anyway..."

The moment his finger was about to touch the opponent's arm, the sharp and cold crimson pupils on the handsome and arrogant face that turned around made him shiver, and swallowed the rest of the sentence.

Although the other party didn't say a word, the strong sense of coercion that came from nowhere made his hands tremble and he retreated.

No, although it is very similar, it is definitely not that person!

These words flashed through the mind of the new guard. Before he could react, his arm suddenly felt a sharp pain.

The guards who stood a little far away in order not to disturb the young Pharaoh rushed over one after another and easily suppressed him to the ground.

"presumptuous!"

"How dare you bump into the Pharaoh!"

Several severe slaps made his face swell immediately.

He opened his mouth to explain, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and was kicked several times.

The young Pharaoh subconsciously glanced back only when the young guard was about to approach him, and then turned back quickly and continued walking forward.

He didn't stop at all, as if he didn't see the guard at all.

He was just a lowly bodyguard, and he would not be looked down upon by the arrogant young king at all.

Those who approach the boy king without permission and even dare to reach out to touch the boy king can only apologize with death.

The young guard who was pinned to the ground by several guards opened his eyes wide in horror, watching a guard in front of him draw out his sword.

He is dying?

He is still so young to die here? ...his sister, his elderly mother...

In the blink of an eye, countless thoughts flashed by.

Something flashed in the back of my mind——

"king--"

He growled, using all his strength.

"I know where the escaped brother is!"

The young pharaoh stopped abruptly.
