Pharaoh

The young Egyptian king, who was full of food and drink, threw himself on the bed, rolled over, and then lay on his back with his limbs splayed in an unsightly manner.

He stretched and let out a contented sigh.

The maids of the Egyptian royal palace had hidden smiles in their eyes, tried their best not to laugh, and quickly cleaned up the tableware on the table and took them out.

so comfortable~~

The young Wangdi, who just barely grunted a few times like a well-fed piglet, squinted his eyes, looking lazily at the golden sunlight coming in from the skylight.

It's already afternoon by now, isn't it?

Warm sunshine, soft bed, sweet food... Sure enough, life is the best when you open your mouth and stretch out your hands...

However, having said that, did he become more and more corrupt as he lived?

Brother Wang seriously thought about this question for less than a minute, and Karin walked in with Seth.

Although he should sit up immediately at this time, his whole body is lazily exhausted, and he doesn't want to move at all.Anyway, Seth Karin and the others were not outsiders, so he continued to stick to the bed and was too lazy to get up.

Seeing Wang Di's appearance of losing all the dignity of the royal family, the corners of the young priest's eyes twitched slightly, and he immediately looked away from Wang Di.

Out of sight out of mind.

"Your Highness, sorry to disturb your rest."

The old female official stepped forward and told the maid to help Wang Di change into the going out clothes as soon as possible.

She looked at Wang Di with warm and soft eyes, like looking at a naughty child.

She said, "However, the guest you brought back said that he wanted to thank you in person before leaving."

When the king of Egypt entered the room, the second prince of Mitanni was sitting upright, chatting happily with Mahat who was sitting beside him.Noticing the arrival of Wang Di, Mahat stood up, stepped forward to salute Wang Di, then walked to Seth, and Seth stood quietly behind Wang Di.

Regardless of the size of the real power, the status of the king's younger brother is second only to the Pharaoh in Egypt.As a servant, Mahat naturally couldn't continue chatting and laughing with Seth unrulyly before Wang Di opened his mouth.

Watt stood up too.

"Brother of Egypt, thank you for helping me in this critical moment. Your kindness will be praised by God Mithra."

The second prince Mitanni said that he was polite and calm.

Even though his tall stature gave people a sense of oppression, at this time he looked very gentle and polite, and the friendly smile on his face was just right, and ordinary people would feel good about him just by looking at him.

However, such a gentle and elegant second prince made the Egyptian prince feel a chill at that moment.

Subconsciously, he wanted to take a step back, but he immediately realized that Mahat and Seth were still standing behind him.

As a result, the foot that could only step backward stopped abruptly.

Who are you--

God knows how much he wants to shout this sentence at the second prince of Mitanni.

Looking at the slightly twitching corners of the mouth of the Egyptian prince, Watt raised the corners of his lips.

He said, "Prince of Egypt, may I speak to you alone?"

"Prince Mitanni, I don't know what happened in Egypt that made you avoid us and talk to your brother 'alone'?"

Brother Wang hadn't answered yet, Seth, who was standing behind him, frowned and continued, pausing heavily on the word 'alone', clearly expressing his dissatisfaction.

"What I want to talk about with my brother has nothing to do with Egypt." Watt nodded politely to Seth, still with the elegant gesture that fit his prince status, "It's just a private matter."

"Sorry, your request cannot be accepted."

"Principal Seth, do you have the right to reject my request on behalf of Brother Wang?"

"It is my duty to prevent any danger from approaching my brother."

"I can swear to Mithras."

"I believe in the great god Ra in Egypt."

Unable to convince the stubborn priest, Watt turned his attention to the king of Egypt.

Yu Yu hesitated for a moment, then looked back at the two great priests behind him.Mahat took a look at Watt, smiled and nodded at Wang Di, then turned and walked towards the side door.Although Seth showed an unhappy expression, he still followed Mahat and left.

When there were only two people left in the room, Watt let out a breath, stepped back and sat down on the chair.He casually picked up a fruit from the table beside him, tossed it, caught it, and took a bite.

For a moment, the aristocratic demeanor of the second prince Mitanni disappeared.

"how?"

He smiled at the speechless Egyptian prince.

"The way I looked just now made you very uncomfortable?"

The man who had completely recovered his usual straightforward manner laughed, "But there's no way, even though I feel awkward myself, I still have to put on a show on that occasion."

"Are you planning to sneak back to Mitanni?"

Reaching out to catch the fruit thrown by Watt, the young Wangdi also sat down beside him.

"No, I don't need to go back. After a few days, I will be the envoy from Mitanni to pick up Brother Wang back home."

The second prince of Mitanni, who finished the fruit in his hand in a few mouthfuls, replied casually.

"Brother Egypt, there is actually no need to thank you in person. But I still have a question to ask you. After I leave, we probably won't have the chance to meet alone again."

He said, "I heard that you have foreign blood, so your mother and the pharaoh's mother should not be the same person?"

"Yes."

Brother Wang answered very frankly, there is no need to hide such well-known things.

"May I ask, where is your mother now?"

"Not in this world."

"I see." Watt chuckled, "That's why you can say that so easily."

"what?"

"You said, 'It's because I have to fight with Brother Wang that I'm in this situation.'"

"...Am I not right?"

"No, it may be right for you." The second prince of Mitanni replied, "If you don't spy on the Egyptian throne, the Pharaoh will naturally not regard you as an enemy."

He paused, then continued.

"I don't want to be an enemy of Brother Wang. I have admired him since I was a child, even now... but things like 'giving up fighting for the throne' are absolutely unacceptable."

"Brother of Egypt, maybe because you didn't grow up in the royal family, you think many things are too simple. You said that as long as you don't fight, it's fine, but have you ever thought about..."

"If I fail to ascend the throne, what will happen to my mother and concubine?"

"If I selfishly give up fighting, what will happen to those who follow me because they believe in me?"

"You have found a good excuse for yourself." The young prince stared at Watt with his bright violet pupils, "I just want to ask you—"

He said, "Can you swear you have no interest in that so-called throne?"

Watt was silent, then he smiled.

"It hits the nail on the head."

He said, stood up, walked in front of Wang Di, his tall body bent down.

The sun came in from the window, and Watt's wide shadow completely covered the sitting Wang Di in the shadow, and he put his lips close to Wang Di's ear.

"I want the throne."

His voice was very low, "So what about you? Brother Egypt, tell me, do you want it?"

asked the second prince of Mitanni.

In fact, what he said earlier was a bunch of nonsense. In the final analysis, there was only one question he wanted to ask before leaving, but he was accidentally asked first by the king of Egypt.

Violet eyes stared at him for a while, then suddenly smiled.

The immature and lovely face of the young king of Egypt smiled brightly at Watt.

"Do you think I can learn your pretentiousness and your brother Wang's double-decker and vicious?"

"……cannot."

Although it can be seen that the game is cursing people around the corner, even Watt, who is scolded, has to give a negative answer.

"That's it."

Watt straightened up, looking depressed.

"I'm just asking, as for hurting people so much?"

"Really? Back then you said bad things about my brother Wang in front of me, but you said it very happily."

"..."

Do you still remember hatred?

The king's brother of Egypt and the second prince of Mitanni were talking in this room, and in the next room, two high priests of Egypt were also talking.

"The Mitanni prince probably won't go back to the country directly. He will probably make an official appearance in a few days, using the excuse of taking the eldest prince back to China, pretending that he just came to Egypt from Mitanni."

"Prince Levi plans to return home? So, you have finished talking?"

Seth asked, all day long he was busy investigating the matter of posing as an Egyptian soldier, and Mahat was in charge of negotiating with the Grand Prince of Mitanni.

In fact, it is not so much a multinational negotiation as a contest between Mitanni and Egypt. As long as an agreement is reached with Mitanni, everything will be resolved.

"It was just discussed in the afternoon." Mahat handed the just drafted agreement to Seth, "The small part of Syria close to Mitanni will be controlled by Mitanni as a buffer zone, and most of the other areas will be controlled by Mitanni. We, Egypt, will send troops to help the Syrian king maintain his rule."

"...that guy is so easy to talk to?"

Looking at the clauses in the agreement where Egypt clearly had a great advantage, Seth frowned and questioned.

"Hahaha, it's all thanks to Brother Wang's help."

"What can he do?" Seth's face darkened as soon as he mentioned the king of Egypt, "It's fine if he doesn't cause trouble."

"Okay, alright, Seth." Mahat patted Seth on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Although things got a little bigger last night, don't forget, if it wasn't for Wangdi who happened to save Mitan If the second prince Ni, the charge of murdering Prince Mitanni in Egypt will probably not go away."

"Egypt never feared war!"

Seth replied with a cold face.

"Yes, Egypt is not afraid of war, but Egypt should not be slandered." Mahat said, "Now we and Mitanni are just fighting privately. If the crown prince is involved, it will be a life-and-death battle." Even if Mitanni is defeated at that time, Egypt will be seriously injured. Don’t forget, Seth, Hitty and other countries are still watching.”

Seth fell silent, no longer refute.

In fact, as the youngest priest in Egypt, Seth was very clear about what Mahat said, but he just didn't want to admit it.

As for reaching such an agreement that is beneficial to Egypt, Mahat said that it was thanks to the help of the king's brother, and he probably guessed it.

"Are you using Prince Livi's plan to murder his brother in Egypt to blackmail him?"

"Well." Mahatma nodded and said, "Although that cunning prince hardly left any evidence, my brother saw with his own eyes the place where he was stabbed by Prince Watt's sword... And, the evidence~~ Prince Wei has a guilty conscience, and Prince Watt is also a guest in the palace. So whether there is evidence or not, if I say there is, then there is.”

"In exchange for him concealing his killing of his brother..." Seth patted the papyrus on his hand, "Isn't the price too low?"

"It is necessary to consider the domestic reaction of Mitanni. If it is done too much, it will be easy to make mistakes."

"Well, that's true." After thinking for a while, Seth seriously suggested, "Mahat, do you want to send someone to Mitanni to spread the news that their eldest prince murdered the second prince after they all return to China?"

Mahatma nodded and made an addition.

"By the way, you can also spread the news that 'in fact, the second prince intends to assassinate the eldest prince, but instead framed him', and get some fake evidence."

"That's fine, why don't you try..."

"Actually, that's also..."

The most loyal and honest priest Mahat in Egypt and the most upright and old-fashioned priest Seth are seriously discussing the issue of "how to carry forward the gossip of the Mitanni royal family".

"Seth, don't you think we in Egypt are lucky to have such a prince?"

"...I don't think so at all."

"Then let you choose one of Prince Levi and Prince Watt to be the king of Egypt, who do you choose?"

"...or this one now."

Three days later, a luxurious ship from the Mitanni kingdom sailed into the port of Seys, and the black-haired second prince Wat of Mitanni set foot on the land of Egypt for the 'first time' under the warm welcome of Egyptian officials.

He came to this city to welcome his brother Livi back home.

He was led by the Egyptian officials who received him into the great hall of the royal palace of Cheys, and greeted the young pharaoh on the high throne of the king of Mitanni.

Prince Livi, who was sitting on the side seat, couldn't wait to stand up and walked towards his brother with a look of joy.

Watt went up to his brother Wang with an unstoppable smile on his face.

The gorgeous clothes covered the white bandages under the clothes, and they held hands tightly, showing the warmest smiles to each other.

Brothers and friends, Christine.

Sitting next to the young Pharaoh, Wangdi watched this scene for a long time, then he lowered his head, his golden hair hanging down to cover the expression on his face.

He stretched out his right hand and carefully grabbed the corner of the youth king's dark blue cloak.

The young king looked at him sideways, with a questioning look in his eyes.

The young brother Wang looked at each other with those crimson pupils, then lowered his head again, and didn't speak, but tugged even tighter with the hand holding the cloak.

However, on such an occasion, such an inexplicable behavior would bother Atum, right?

He let go slowly.

The hand that was about to retract was grasped by his brother Wang.

He raised his head in surprise, the young Pharaoh's eyes were looking forward, not at him.But the young king held his hand tightly, and the warmth from the light brown palm penetrated into his hand little by little.

The young Wangdi's big light purple eyes were bent into the arc of crescent moon.

"Brother Wang~~"

"what?"

"It's nothing, just sitting like this is so boring."

"..."

"Brother Wang~~"

"To shut up."
