The grand ceremony held in name to celebrate the birth of the little princess Ou Nai went extremely smoothly.

The Thebes were so cooperative and obedient that a large number of officials and attendants who followed Pharaoh Delos to Egypt felt that they couldn't get in their hands and were at a loss as to what to do.

Of course, they would not think that it was because the Thebes were so enthusiastic because of the face of Erich and the little princess. They all thought that since the young and heroic Pharaoh arrived in Upper Egypt in person, the Upper Egyptians would have to respect the Pharaoh's demand unconditional obedience.

The day of the grand ceremony happened to be the day when the little princess was full moon.

The front of the Karnak Temple has been completely cleaned up, and there is no trace of the God of War envoy leading the people to fight against the evil beasts.

But if you stand on the temple square and look into the distance, the broken fence at the end of the waterway in front of the pier still reminds people how hard-won the peace of Thebes is now.

The boats that entered the waterway were already ships from all over Egypt who came to Thebes to congratulate the birth of the little princess.

These ships lined up as they did when the god Amun was sacrificed that day, and passed by the waters facing the Karnak Temple one by one.

The ships were covered with huge clumps of lilies - a symbol of Upper Egypt.Upper Egyptians used this to express their respect for Elyse and the little princess.

The grand ceremony will be held in the Temple of Amun, which can accommodate the largest number of people in the temple. Officials and nobles who accompanied the pharaoh, as well as about [-] prominent people from Thebes, were invited to enter the temple to watch the ceremony.

These two thousand Thebes were invited separately by the 13-member council.In addition to the traditional priests and nobles, representatives of different classes such as merchants, craftsmen, and farmers have also been added.

Outside the Temple of Amon, gathered in Karnak Square were about [-] Thebes people.

The number of people was not as large as that of the last sacrifice to the god Amun, probably because some Thebes considered themselves very high and did not want to be involved in the ceremony where Pharaoh appeared.But most of the rest of the people came for Ailixi.

The atmosphere of the grand ceremony began to rise from the moment Alixie and her party showed up with the little princess Ou Nai.

People consciously made way for a road, boys and girls from Thebes lined up on both sides of the road, and sprinkled white lily petals on Elyse and her entourage.

The music with obvious Upper Egyptian style sounded immediately - people here are far away from the royal court of Memphis, so the instrumental music is not as refined as Lower Egypt, and most of them are blowing instruments.

But the cheerful tunes played by these instruments are very suitable for this situation and make people feel happy.

Of course, no one cared about the pharaoh's feelings, and no one asked Delos in advance what kind of ceremony he wanted.

Of course, most of the time, even if Delos expressed his wish, no one would implement it-this is Thebes, the largest city in Upper Egypt.

Pharaoh Delos was not surprised by this. He had a serious expression, and he didn't say a word about the ceremony that the upper Egyptians held on their own.The only thing he cared about was a girl standing in front of the temple near the statue of Amon.

The appearance of this girl is different from that of the Egyptians, and she is very eye-catching even in the crowd. She has shiny and soft blond hair, green eyes, and skin that is better than snow.

At this moment, she was also wearing the traditional costume of the Upper Egyptians, standing in the front of the crowd invited to watch the ceremony.

The only thing Delos was worried about was that the girl would not show up.

But she came anyway—and it was a great comfort to Pharaoh's heart.

If he doesn't come, Tylos can only turn this birthday celebration into a boring ceremony of dethroning.

As these thoughts were turning in Delos' mind, his eyes suddenly swept across the foreign envoys who came to watch the ceremony, and suddenly found a figure with a very familiar aura.

The man had blond hair and brown eyes, tall, handsome, and heroic. Even Delos felt a sense of oppression when facing him.

Tylos froze for a moment.

When he invited envoys from various countries to Upper Egypt to observe the ceremony, it was because Delos believed that his heir was about to be born, that there would be successors to the Pharaoh, and that domestic affairs and diplomacy would be able to continue stably.

Later, Delos decided to depose the first princess. Naturally, he had to announce it to the world and notify the envoys of all countries. Then he simply took advantage of the invitations that had been sent out to rule neighboring countries. He, Delos, wanted to establish another wife. It is impossible to inherit his position, become a female pharaoh, and cause turmoil for future Egypt.

But at this moment, Delos never expected that he would meet such a powerful person among the foreign envoys who came here, and everyone knew that he must be a high-ranking person at the first sight.

The tall man met Tylos' gaze.Suddenly he grinned, revealing a big smile, as if expressing to Pharaoh that he had no hostility.

But Delos's heart tightened immediately, he already remembered where he had seen this person - Tanis.

On that misty morning, the short, fat man in red clothes instantly turned into a tall and heroic young man, standing at the end of the alley, looking at him with provocative eyes.

Tanis is where Miss Biola lives permanently.Therefore, Delos suspected that the appearance of this person was also related to Miss Biola, and he might also be her suitor.

Pharaoh made up his mind for a moment, he must express his steadfast heart in this ceremony, and let the girl understand that he will give her enough respect.As for understanding, it can naturally be cultivated slowly after marriage.

As for this foreign envoy, Pharaoh didn't even care about Erich being supported by the people of Thebes—he had already made complete preparations.As a pharaoh, Tyros is no longer a fledgling young man.

In addition to the pre-arranged manpower, Delos has also made an appointment with the big shot, and everything in the Karnak Temple will be properly resolved.

He could boldly propose to Miss Biola, and with the help of Erich's previous popularity, he could re-establish Pharaoh's authority in Upper Egypt.

This is his killing two birds with one stone, and no one has the ability to destroy his plan.

As the Pharaoh thought this way, the sound of music outside the temple was gradually approaching. Someone in the temple was already shouting the title of the first princess or the envoy of Amon. Elyse was wearing a tall white feather crown and a gold hat with two heads of cobras. , with a solemn expression and a solemn gait, came in with her entourage and the little princess.

The cries one after another seemed to have frightened the baby who was still in its infancy, and suddenly there was a loud cry of a baby in the temple, which made people hoarse and shut up quickly.

Delos, who was watching, looked indifferent, and sent two words in his heart: "Disappointment!"

Unexpectedly, at the next moment, there was a burst of extremely rough singing, and the voice of the singer was simply unheard and shocking.But the singing is impassioned, majestic and mighty, and it sounds like a battle song to inspire morale.

Immediately, the people on both sides of the road stepped aside in surprise, revealing a bull's head.But the image of a young woman with an unusually good figure.

This young woman is using the bull's head on her head to tease a baby who is being held in the arms of another entourage.

Delos was dumbfounded - he recognized that this was Nanna, the head maid next to Elyse, and the favored one of the god of war Mengtu.

But he had never heard of it before, Nanna had been promoted to God of War's envoy, and could summon the image of an envoy at any time.

Biola was right, he really didn't know his princess, let alone the people around her.

The cry of the baby that echoed in the temple really gradually stopped.

From the position where Delos was standing, he could just see the newborn being held by his attendants, with a pair of black round eyes open, looking at the envoy of the god of war in the form of a bull-headed human, with a curious expression, completely forgot to cry.

And this entourage, with brown hair and golden eyes, fair complexion, and handsome appearance, isn't this the high priest Senmut, who once claimed to be the closest to God in the whole of Egypt?

Although Delos had already known Senmut's position, he still couldn't help grinding his teeth at this moment, but suddenly recalled what an Upper Egyptian woman once said about how you can be jealous, so he quickly put aside his thoughts and turned his attention to the other side. His most important event comes up——

Announcing the dethroning of Elyse and proposing marriage to Miss Biola.

So, after the entire temple, facing Erich and the newborn little princess held by Senmut beside her, after singing the carol, Delos took a step forward, his eyes slowly sweeping from left to right in a circle.

The pharaoh's eyes were full of power, and the temple filled with 2000 people quickly became silent.

Nanna had already stopped singing, restored her normal human-headed form, stood behind Erich, and looked in the direction of Pharaoh a little nervously.

"This is the king's first princess—"

Delos pointed to the baby swaddled in Senmut's arms.

People immediately followed Delos' gesture and saluted in the direction of Senmut.

"But this woman will no longer be the king's first princess."

Pharaoh spoke firmly, and turned his eyes to the blonde girl, expecting her to respond and understand his determination to categorically abandon the first princess.

Unexpectedly, the girl remained motionless and did not respond.

Of course, this was the reaction of most people in the temple.

People stayed where they were, with skeptical cries of life in their hearts: What's going on?who I am?What are you doing here?

Didn't you always make it clear that this is a special celebration to celebrate the birth of the little princess?

But the envoys from all over the world had a rough idea: the invitation they had received was that the princess of Egypt had given birth to an heir.But I didn't know it was a princess until I got to Thebes.

You can imagine how dissatisfied Pharaoh was.

For the sake of the future, Pharaoh wants to replace the current first princess-this is also a normal thing.

The temple of Amon was quiet for a while, and gradually some people began to whisper, and there was a low hum in the temple, and the restlessness began to spread.

Among the entourage standing on the Pharaoh's side, there was also a female voice crying softly, and Delos knew it was the wife of the high priest without looking.Because of her love for her daughter, she expresses her regret and pain by crying.

Delos didn't look back, and looked directly in the direction of Elyse, with cruel eyes, as if saying: Please, come and kneel and beg the king, maybe I can leave you a place in the pharaoh's harem, and the king may also in the future Be kind to your princess...

Unexpectedly, he felt that Alicia was looking at him with great interest, with a faint smile on her lips, as if this proposal was in her arms.

And Senmut, who had been standing beside her all the time, was always holding the soft and fragrant baby in his arms, concentrating on coaxing the baby in his arms, as if he didn't pay attention to what Delos was saying.

Tilos suddenly became angry, and immediately said: "The one the king wants to marry is this one, who is deeply loved in Lower Egypt, and whose beauty and intelligence are unparalleled, Miss Biola."

He wanted to express that he knew Biola more or less.

"The king has made up his mind, she is the first princess who is qualified to stand beside the king."

He turned in Biola's direction.

However, the blond girl remained motionless without any reaction.

Among the foreign envoys who came to watch the ceremony, a majestic voice said loudly: "Your Majesty the Pharaoh of Egypt, you are sure to depose your first princess. After all, we need to repay our monarch for such a major event."

"Of course it's not a child's play."

Delos's answer was loud and clear.

This is what he wants.

Unexpectedly, the other party then asked loudly: "Then are you...are you proposing to that shadow?"

"shadow?"

Delos was stunned when he heard this.

He hurriedly looked in the direction where Biola was standing.

I saw that Viola's image began to shake slightly, and the originally vivid figure of a young girl suddenly became flat, like a picture scroll drawn on transparent papyrus.

This is probably a spell used to cover up the eyes, and it can never be restored after being uncovered.After flashing twice, the flat image of the girl suddenly disintegrated, turning into countless fragments and disappearing.But the surrounding guests still stood, as if they didn't notice the shadow beside them.

Tylos froze.

His marriage proposal just now, his brave confession in front of so many people, his firm determination, was completely done to an illusory shadow.

The object of his proposal was just a shadow?

The tall man who had been standing among the foreign envoys suddenly took a step forward, walked up to the pharaoh with a hearty laugh, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, Pharaoh, you proposed marriage in front of so many people!" The object - just loneliness!"
