Pharaoh

The eldest prince of Mitanni drank the wine slowly, chatting with the people around him seemingly quite leisurely, but occasionally, the corner of his eyes would glance at the Egyptian king sitting on the banquet in the middle of the hall. younger brother.

Brother Wang sat very quietly, occasionally raising his head to say a few words to an elderly female officer behind him.

Unlike the last time when the Pharaoh was present, only a part of the envoys from various countries attended this time, and neither the neutral faction nor the envoys who favored Egypt were present.In other words, most of the people here are biased towards Mitanni.

At this moment, they still couldn't figure out the temperament of this strange prince, and most of them watched cautiously.

Some people also tried to talk to the Egyptian prince, but as long as they showed such intentions, or just opened their mouths, the great Egyptian priest Mahat would immediately take over.

Obviously, the great priest didn't intend to let people talk to Wang Di easily.

Although the King of Syria looked over frequently, Prince Livi just pretended not to see it.

He still couldn't draw a conclusion on this younger brother.

It's not his way to make a hasty shot without being sure.

The man who was arranged to test Brother Wang just now apologized and retreated in embarrassment after being signaled by him.

The king of Egypt, who got angry because of being treated rudely, seemed to be planning to leave, but after being persuaded by several people who got up to persuade him, he finally stayed, although he still looked unhappy.

If you only look at the scene just now, this brother is not as weak as the rumors say, and seems to have the toughness of the Egyptians.

But since he sat down, the king of Egypt has been silent—his silence is different from the silence of the pharaoh. At that time, the pharaoh obviously didn't want to speak.Now, Brother Wang felt more like he dared not speak, and let the high priest speak for him.

The eldest prince of Mitanni thought.

Although it seemed a bit imposing at first, it was hard to say. Once the common people at the bottom suddenly gained glory and wealth, they often easily became arrogant.From the behavior of the Egyptian king's brother just now, it is really impossible to make too much judgment. Maybe this young man has developed an arrogant personality just because he suddenly occupies a high position and is favored by the Pharaoh.

If that was the case, it would be very simple, as long as the disguised arrogant skin was torn off, Brother Wang would immediately reveal his weak nature.

only……

Levi was still pondering, when suddenly someone loudly passed the high priest and spoke to the king of Egypt.

Levi raised his brows slightly under the light brown forehead, lowered his head, and drank quietly.

The first person to stand up and bluntly propose to discuss with the king's brother was the envoy of Crete.

Crete is an island country located in the Mediterranean Sea. It is not big, but its naval power is quite strong.

Like Syria, it nominally regards Egypt as its suzerain.But Crete relied on its own navy and was not very obedient to Egypt.But given that Egypt also has a powerful navy, Crete did not dare to disobey Egypt too much.

Recently, Crete and Egypt had disagreements over territorial issues, so Crete began to flirt with Mitanni in private.

Prince Livi has always disliked this envoy from Crete.

It wasn't because he was difficult to deal with. Although the Cretan envoy was a little clever, he was generally easier to deal with.

However, as the saying goes, people are shameless and invincible.

The biggest feature of this Cretan envoy is his nonsense and silliness.

In order to achieve his goal, no matter how shameless he is, he can speak uprightly, and if he does something wrong, he can turn around and deny it.If the other party hesitated for a moment, he immediately pushed his nose and face to bully the door; if the other party was tough, he immediately retracted.

This standard model of bullying the weak and fearing the hard will not only be Levi, but everyone will feel a headache.

At this moment, the envoy was gesticulating to the king of Egypt and declaring that the island of Etan is the territory of Crete. The high priest of Egypt scolded him a few times. say.

His appearance made Karin, who had always been well-trained, couldn't help showing a look of disgust.

The king of Egypt has been silent and let him talk to himself, perhaps this is one of the reasons why he is more presumptuous.

"Moreover, in terms of location, Etanel Island is closer to our country, and it should be ruled by our country."

In the end, the messenger used such a sentence that made everyone dumbfounded as his concluding statement.

Sure enough, it's his usual slapstick style.

Prince Livi stood in the position of supporting the envoy of Crete, but at this moment he couldn't help but swear in his heart.

"Uh……"

Finally, the king of Egypt spoke his first words since he sat down.

The words that stunned the audience with his brother Wang were completely extreme.

He said, "Mahat, where is Crete?"

This sentence made everyone present, including the Cretan envoy, look weird.

Under the surprised eyes of everyone, the young Wangdi raised his head and asked the great priest standing beside him with a natural attitude.

"Where is that what Etanel Island?"

Dare this prince not even figure out where Crete is in Egypt? !

For a while, everyone was ashamed.

The great priest of Egypt unfolded a map in front of the king's brother, and pointed out the location of Crete on the map.

The Egyptian prince's finger gestured on the map.

"Well, Etanel Island is indeed closer to Crete."

He raised his head again and asked the Crete envoy, "If it's close, this island belongs to Crete, right?"

It would be great if the Pharaoh of Egypt was the younger brother of this king!

At this moment, many people had this thought in their minds, and the wrinkled face of the Messenger of Crete burst into smiles.

Egypt and Crete have negotiated many times about this island, and they are at a stalemate. If the prince of Egypt can speak here today—even if he does not have power, the only prince will admit it in front of all the countries. If the island of Etan is Crete, how can Egypt, a majestic big country, repent in public.

As soon as Brother Wang utters those words, honor and wealth are waiting for him in the country!

The young Wangdi also laughed.

With the soft and cute smiling face of the king of Egypt as a foil, the crumpled smiling face of the Messenger of Crete makes people feel more and more... So much so that most people subconsciously avoid the Messenger of Crete's eyes. The face of the reporter turned to the side of the king of Egypt.

Even the Grand Prince of Mitanni was no exception.

Cough, it wasn't intentional, it was just an instinctive reaction.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the porcelain-colored finger of the young king of Egypt once again clicked on the location of Crete on the map, and then randomly gestured the distance.

His eyes were on the map, and he seemed to be talking to himself.

He says,

"Crete is also very close to Egypt."

The Crete envoy's smile froze immediately.

The scene was cold for a while.

Only the conversation between the king of Egypt and the high priest sounded.

"Look, isn't it close? Mahart."

"Yes, Your Royal Highness." Priest Mahat bowed his head and replied respectfully, "It is indeed very close."

"I want to go there to play, how long will it take?"

"If it's your wish, it won't take long."

"Ha...haha, brother Wang is coming to Crete, we welcome you. But please let us know in advance so that we can prepare to welcome you."

Finally unable to remain silent any longer, the Cretan envoy laughed a few times in embarrassment.

"Ahem, I almost forgot, the purpose of everyone here today is how to punish those who offend Egypt... Haha, Your Highness, don't worry about that matter, we will talk about it later. After all, the affairs of Egypt are more important, aren't they?"

He smiled and said a few words, his expression was already calm, completely gone from the embarrassment of that moment just now.

He had the cheek to toast a glass of wine to the king of Egypt, and without looking at the others, he sat back with his head down, and drank the wine on his own with an air of nothing to do with him.

The others either glanced at him with contempt or displeasure, and then withdrew their minds and started whispering to their companions.

As soon as the Egyptian king's words just fell, Prince Livi of Mitanni's heart clicked.

This brother is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

I was wrong.

He was a little annoyed.

The pharaoh had no way to do anything, and the Egyptian king's brother didn't seem to be so simple here. Could it be that Egypt was allowed to annex Syria?

No, as far as national power is concerned, Mitanni has already fallen behind, and we can no longer just sit back and watch Egypt grow stronger!

……

Do not……

This might not be a good thing.

This Egyptian prince is not as ignorant as he looks, if he can be provoked to compete with the young Pharaoh for the throne...

Prince Mitanni began to seriously consider whether to contact this prince secretly.

If he really has that kind of thought, the younger brother who currently lacks power in the upper echelon of Egypt will naturally accept Mitanni's help wisely.

Li Wei didn't notice that the few eyes he looked at Wang Di fell into the eyes of the old female officer standing beside Wang Di.

Karin's eyes moved, and then she looked away from Prince Mitanni as if nothing had happened.

She still stood quietly, not saying a word.

At this time, the Syrian king, who was sitting on the seat opposite to Prince Mitanni, couldn't hold back any longer. He stood up as if he wanted to say something to his Egyptian brother.

His mouth just opened—

The dark blue cloak fluttered in the air and passed his eyes, blocking his vision.

The golden hair flew up, bringing a sharp and dazzling light like the sun into the room.

The Syrian king's lips were parted, but no sound came out.

The whispering voices stopped for a moment.

Only that clear cry echoed in the room.

"Brother Wang—"

The young Wangdi stood up from his seat.

He smiled and greeted him quickly.

However, just after taking two steps, he seemed to stop because of some concerns.

He looked at the person walking towards him, and took a step back to the left to make room for the person to walk straight to the seat above.

The young pharaoh came striding forward, his crimson pupils staring straight ahead, seeing everyone as nothing.

He stopped when he passed by his younger brother.

The dark blue cloak was raised gently, and then fell down again.

It enveloped most of the young Wangdi's body.

The moment the cold crimson pupils fell on his brother's face, they softened a little.

"Did you have fun?"

asked the young Pharaoh, running his beige fingertips through his brother's soft hair.

"very funny."

The younger brother, who raised his head and smiled at the boy king, replied.
