Pharaoh

On this day, it was Seth's turn to guard the palace.

After the assassination of the Pharaoh, the guarding of the palace has recently increased a lot.

Towards evening, all was well.

Seth, who had inspected the entire palace, was about to go back to eat, but vaguely heard noises coming from the southeast.

Frowning unhappily, he turned and walked towards the source of the sound.

Several guards guarding the side door of the palace said something loudly, and kept using gestures to express the meaning of rejection.

Another black-haired guard who was dressed in a completely different outfit was obviously not in the same system as the guards guarding the side door, and was also talking non-stop.

It's the bodyguard of Brother Wang, who seems to be called... Ke Ya?

Seth recognized it immediately.

There has only been one humble guard who dared to contradict the great priest since ancient times, and it is impossible not to leave a deep impression on people.

At this moment, there was still a person standing behind the black-haired guard.

Although the whole body is wrapped in rough coarse cloth, it is difficult to see her true face, but she is obviously very small, probably a girl who has something to do with the black-haired guards.

Here, some descendants of ancient nobles who have declined are poor enough to be inferior to commoners, but they still stick to the pride of nobles.

Women of this kind of shabby nobles are often unwilling to show their faces like ordinary women, but often wrap themselves in large pieces of cloth to block men's eyes.

The action of the black-haired guard was obviously protecting this person.

"What's the noise?"

In a word, the whole scene was silent for a moment.

As we all know, Priest Seth is the most stern and unselfish person in the entire palace.

His ruthlessness and ruthlessness make no one dare to challenge his authority.

"Lord Seth, this man said he was leaving the palace under the order of the king's brother, but we have received..."

The guard guarding the gate glanced at Ke Ya who was staring at him with chilling eyes, and did not continue speaking.

But even if he didn't say it, Seth probably understood it.

Brother Wang is not allowed to act at will.

This is an order issued by himself.

What is this guard going to do outside the palace?

He thought, staring at the black-haired guard with cold eyes.

Ke Ya also looked back at him without showing any weakness.

Don't think that you, a humble guard, dare to ignore the authority of the priest with the support of the king's brother.

He opened his mouth extremely unhappily, ready to severely reprimand this lawless guard.

Just when he was about to speak, his hand was suddenly pulled by someone, and he staggered a step.

Without warning, he was dragged aside.

"Presumptuous──you──"

Annoyed, he suddenly threw away the hand of the humble man who was wrapped in rough and coarse cloth, Seth raised his hand and was about to summon the attendants to catch the sinner who dared to blaspheme the high priest.

In the next second, his hand froze in mid-air.

The anger on his face froze in half, and with the sudden astonishment in his eyes, his expression formed an extremely strange image.

"King---"

The mouth was suddenly covered by the pair of slender hands protruding from the thick coarse cloth, and the second word was blocked back abruptly.

With blue veins popping out on his forehead, Seth pulled away his hand covering his mouth.

The young and handsome priest tried his best to suppress his almost violent anger.

He was so angry that his whole body was trembling, and he obviously wanted to roar but didn't dare to growl too loudly.

"You're actually dressed like a pariah...what on earth are you trying to do!"

You are the only younger brother of the great Pharaoh!He is a member of the Egyptian royal family with the blood of God!

If it weren't for the dozens of guards not far away staring at him with wide eyes, he would definitely yell at him like this.

"Haha...hahaha..."

Probably because he also felt wronged, the young man who was hiding under the coarse cloth showed an extremely embarrassed expression on his face, and laughed a few times in a low voice.

"Seth, I just want to go out of the palace to play for a while, just for a while."

The big light purple round eyes blinked and blinked obediently. The boy who looked at Seth looked like a cute little cat begging for food from its owner.

"No! Go back immediately!"

The young priest answered firmly.

"I will definitely not cause trouble, Ke Ya will protect me, I will go out for a while."

"……no!"

"Seth, please."

"...I can't do it anymore! Don't forget who you are!"

"Site..."

"……go back!"

"I see...I'm sorry...I'll go back right away..."

The young brother Wang lowered his head, like a child who has done something wrong, his expression was gloomy.

"..."

"...Go back, Keya..."

"..." The stern-faced young priest finally couldn't help snorting, "...tomorrow."

"what?"

"Must be back by noon tomorrow."

"Hey hey hey?──"

"Tomorrow, the other priests will be on duty. If you get caught, I won't care about you."

"Seth~~~"

"Wait... let me go! How decent is it for a prince like you to hug a servant casually!"

"Seth is not a servant."

"... Whatever you do, let me go first! Immediately! Now! Immediately!!!"

Although I don't like the fact that Wang and his younger brother are too close, it's not the way to always be like this.

Recently, Wang's temper has become more and more serious, and it has begun to affect government affairs.

If Brother Wang can be in a better mood... It's good to let Brother Wang go out to relax, maybe he can reconcile with Wang as soon as possible.

The young and ruthless priest pondered for a long time, then nodded his head and came to the above conclusion.

——A ruthless guy like Seth doesn’t soften his heart just because he sees our lovely prince, His Royal Highness, dejected and listless~~ Absolutely not~~

If the beautiful priestess who read people's hearts was here, she would probably express such emotion jokingly.

"Cersi."

A well-built man among the attendants who had been following Seth knelt down.

"Follow Brother Wang."

Seth said, looking at the two figures leaving the palace from a distance.

"If something happens to Brother Wang, you don't have to come back."

"and also……"

He paused.

"Pay attention to that guard named Ke Ya."

--------

Tali is a person who uses his mind to obtain the gold, silver and material things he needs for his life from others.

He calls his profession the art of speech and action.

Commonly known as liar.

At night, it is the coolest time of the day in this city, and the number of pedestrians coming and going on the road increases instead of decreasing.

The small merchants and hawkers on the side of the road showed no signs of packing up and leaving. They probably waited for the climax of the flow of people at this time to pass before closing their stalls.

Tali seems to be strolling casually on the busy street, but his eyes are always watching the people passing by him with a pair of shining eyes.

After so many years of experience as a liar, he has developed the habit of judging whether others are good at cheating and how to cheat anytime, anywhere.

So, even if he just made a 'business' in the morning, and had a delicious meal with beer just now, and now he just went out for a stroll to digest his food, he still couldn't help looking around with his thief eyes.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and his footsteps stopped.

Then, he strolled around again as if nothing had happened.

It's just that at this moment, the corner of his eyes has locked on the target.

At the corner of an alley with few pedestrians, a young man in a short linen robe was sitting on the side of the road with his knees hugged. The loose white cloth cloak covered most of his body, only his head was exposed.

The young man has an immature and lovely face, he looks about thirteen or fourteen years old by visual inspection.

The fair and tender complexion shows that he has a good family condition, which protects him from the scorching sun, and he is more likely to be mixed with blood from other countries.

He looked around from time to time, paying attention to the pedestrians passing by. Obviously, the young man was separated from his relatives, and he was obediently waiting for his family to find him.

What made Tali make up his mind was that when the boy changed his sitting position, the white cloak moved accordingly, and a golden light flashed through the gap at the hem.

gold!

Tali froze for a moment, collided with a pedestrian on the opposite side, and was severely scolded.

After thinking for a long time, Tali gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

Maybe that boy was a nobleman, and offending nobles in Egypt is no fun... But, maybe he was just the spoiled son of a vulgar businessman who suddenly became rich.

Bet for beautiful gold!

And if he succeeded, the corpse would be wiped out after taking the gold, who would know that he did it.

"Kid, are you lost?"

Tali was approaching middle age, and he had an ordinary passer-by face, simple and honest, and it made people feel closer when he smiled.

He was quite proud of his face, which was his most powerful instrument of deceit.

"Do you need your uncle to help you?"

An extremely amiable face, the easiest to coax the children in the greenhouse.

The teenager looked up at him, a pair of beautiful big violet-toned eyes, looking at him curiously.

Then, those eyes curved up.

The smiling eyes made the boy's immature face look more innocent and cute.
