Pharaoh

According to the news delivered by the person who followed Brother Wang's tip-off, the Young King and his party headed straight for the Valley of Sighs.

He didn't understand why his younger brother suddenly wanted to go to such a dangerous place for no reason, suppressing his anger, the young king rode his horse and galloped all the way, and finally arrived there at dawn.

However, at that time, a letter was suddenly received, saying that Brother Wang and his party had changed their direction.

So they also changed direction.

The young Pharaoh frowned.

He didn't really feel or think much, he just frowned because he thought it was taking a little too long.

If you don't rush back as soon as possible, even with Seth helping to cover up the aftermath, not to mention the uproar among the priests and ministers, it is more likely that there will be assassins chasing after you who exposed your whereabouts.

However, not having to go to the terrifying Valley of Sighs made his bodyguards heave a sigh of relief.

Although they are carefully selected warriors who are absolutely loyal to the Pharaoh, they also have an inexplicable sense of fear for the place shrouded in the shadow of death.

The moment they followed the footsteps of Brother Wang and his party, they stepped into a high mountain.

With a bang, it rained heavily, catching everyone by surprise.

The young king, who was drenched by the heavy rain in an instant, frowned and looked at the sky. Then, he seemed to think of something, and his brows frowned even more.

After thinking for a while, he turned around and instructed the two guards to report to Seth and the army generals guarding the vicinity.

The young pharaoh looked up at the mountains, which were shrouded in the green shadows of the tangled trees.

As soon as he drove his horse, he rushed into the forest with the only two remaining guards.

At this time, the other side.

The young king of Egypt didn't know that his sneaking had been exposed in front of his brother, and he was still thinking about how to sneak back to the palace unknowingly.

On the way back to the royal city after leaving the Valley of Sighs, in order to take a shortcut, they entered a tall mountain range.

There are not many wild animals in this mountain. Under the protection of the loyal black-haired guards and Sisi with an unhappy face, the journey is very safe.

However, the sudden rainstorm disrupted their plans.

At the moment when they were suddenly attacked by the torrential rain and relaxed their vigilance, something happened suddenly.

Unpredictable.

At this moment, Sisi, who was attacked and pierced through his entire thigh, was struggling halfway submerged in the mud, his arms were twisted behind his back and tightly bound.

Reflecting a little faster, the black-haired guards who were cut at the waist guarded the young Wangdi behind him, watching those strange men who suddenly appeared in front of his group with vigilance.

"Please don't be afraid, Your Royal Highness."

A leading man came out, and he stared at Wang Di devoutly.

His knees fell into the mud kicked up by the rainstorm, and he knelt down to the opposite brother Wang.

"We are all your loyal servants."

"Your God-like kindness and compassion make us convinced and amazed."

He stared at the young Wangdi and spoke softly in a deceptive tone.

"We... all the subjects of Egypt hope that you can replace the current cruel and cruel Egyptian king and sit on the throne."

"—You are the pharaoh who is truly qualified to be called the Son of God!"

He repeats again.

"Everyone here is your most loyal servant."

"servant?"

An immature face that was almost identical to the current king of Egypt but more inclined to be childlike protruded from behind Keya, with a timid look on his face.

"if it is like this."

He pointed to Sisi who was caught by them, showing a look of fear and confusion.

"Why are you hurting Sisi?"

"Your Highness, this man is a spy of the Pharaoh, and he has evil intentions in following you!"

The man stood up and seemed to be eagerly taking a step forward.

Ke Ya's eyes froze, and the strength of his hand holding the sword increased a bit.

The man paused and stopped tactfully.

"He has been monitoring you and has reported your every move to Pharaoh."

"You should really hate that pharaoh who treated you harshly, your brother's, right?"

The man said that he suddenly turned around and walked back a few steps until he came to Sisi who was struggling in the muddy water.

"No matter what, Your Highness, we are all on your side."

Suddenly he drew his sword and pierced Sisi in the chest.

"Compared to that ruthless Pharaoh, you, who are tolerant and broad-minded, deserve the throne of Egypt. We all believe that only you can lead Egypt to prosperity."

Sisi groaned in pain.

The man suddenly drew his sword, and the blood spurting from Sisi's chest spattered his hand.

He turned around again, smiled and walked towards Brother Wang.

"Your Highness, please believe in our loyalty."

"Please come to our side, we will definitely protect you on the throne of Pharaoh."

Ke Ya subconsciously wanted to protect the young man behind him and retreat.

A tug, but no pull.

"Really?"

The young Wangdi looked at each other eagerly, but hesitation and fear still seemed to remain on his face.

"...Are you really sure that you will get me on the throne?"

"Yes, please come to our place."

"Kaya...together?"

"No, Your Royal Highness, what we are going to do now is very dangerous, we can't trust anyone easily."

"But Keya..."

"Your Highness, if you need, you can summon him to come to you after you become the king of Egypt."

"...you can't hurt him."

"Of course, now I just ask him to stay here temporarily, please come with us."

"... Can I really become Pharaoh? Don't you have to listen to Brother Wang anymore?"

The corners of the man's mouth were raised even higher.

His gaze became more and more gentle and gentle, but a look of disdain flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"Of course, Your Royal Highness. As I said, we are your most loyal servants. As long as you follow me now, tomorrow, you can sit on the throne of the supreme Pharaoh."

"...Let me think again..."

The young Wangdi was lost in thought, his eyes seemed struggling.

The man didn't continue to force, he smiled and waited quietly for Wang Di's decision.

Facing this immature prey that had already fallen into the trap, he was in no hurry.

Regardless of whether the prince refuses or not, they all have different means to achieve their goals.

He didn't pay attention to this weak and indecisive young man who was completely inferior to his resolute and resolute brother Wang, who made people tremble.

"Ahh... the rain is getting heavier."

The young Wangdi, who seemed to be very anxious in the uncertain choice, pouted and grabbed the clothes of the guards around him, leaning over.

He looked as if he let the guards use his body to shield him from the rain.

Keya raised her hand subconsciously, and covered Brother Wang's hair that was already drenched by rain with his palm.

"Kaya."

From his chest came the extremely thin voice of the boy, only he could hear it.

"...Will you absolutely obey my orders?"

Is His Royal Highness trying to test himself?

Did he really want to take the Pharaoh's throne?

The thought that flashed through his mind made Ke Ya startled, but in the next second, he smiled self-deprecatingly.

So what if it's true.

His master is His Royal Highness, not the Pharaoh.As long as he can follow His Royal Highness, it doesn't matter what His Royal Highness wants to do.

However, these people in front of him are not trustworthy at all, he must warn His Highness...

He was thinking to himself.

The subtle voice that came into his ears suddenly shattered his thoughts just now.

"Kaya...Listen, I have to go with them..."

"You go save Sisi."

Ke Ya's arm around the boy suddenly tightened.

"Don't talk, Keya... I don't want to, I don't want to go with them at all..."

Another voice interrupted Ke Ya's words.

The hand of the young brother Wang holding Ke Ya's clothes was shaking.

"But if we don't obey them now, we'll all die."

"...I know it won't work, but I can't find any other way..."

At the end of the day.

He is just an ordinary student living in a peaceful age.

Even if he had encountered some dangers when fighting with another him, under the protection of another him and the efforts of so many friends, he could always save himself from danger in the end.

He had never experienced the real fear of death.

This time, it was really the first time for him──

I saw with my own eyes that the shining sword pierced into the human body like a rag doll.

The blood splattered from Sisi's chest made his mind go blank.

He suddenly found that death and blood were so close to him, so close that he was caught off guard.

This was ancient Egypt, and there was nothing he could trust and rely on.

The only noble title he possessed was his shackles now.

Even though he desperately told himself not to be afraid, he still couldn't stop the trembling of his fingers.

"There are not many of them. If you take me away, at most two people will stay here to watch you."

"Kaya, you have to find a way... find a way to take Sisi away as soon as possible... save him... definitely save him."

If it wasn't because he wanted to run out, Sisi would not have become like this at all.

If Sisi died, he killed him.

"They still want to use me... They want me to be the king of Egypt and a puppet, so I will be fine, they will not hurt me... I will not die, absolutely not..."

Some incoherent words were not so much comforting Ke Ya as they were giving him confidence and courage.

The young Wangdi suddenly raised his head, staring at Keya with violet-toned pupils.

In his eyes, there is fear, but there is also persistence without flinching.

"If Sisi dies, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life!"

"Kaya, you must save him."

"As the younger brother, I order you—"

Human life is like a mustard.

Do as the locals do.

It is only natural for the guards to die to protect the younger brother.

It is a fool who puts himself in danger in order to save others.

These, he understands.

However, he couldn't do it.

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

Feeling the trembling of the fingers that were holding him, Ke Ya replied like this.

The only person I want to protect is His Royal Highness, this is indisputable.

If something happens to His Royal Highness, he will be sad and troubled for the rest of his life.

But if that Sisi dies, His Royal Highness must be in pain because of self-blame.

He would rather choose the former.

He watched helplessly as the person he swore to protect left him, his hands curled into fists, nails piercing into his palms.

There was only one enemy left to guard him and the dying Sisi.

As he thought about it, the cold flames of battle in the depths of his pupils gradually boiled.
