Alicia closed her eyes for a while, then pretended to be awake, slowly opened her eyes, looked at the wooden mosaic ceiling decorated on the top of her bedroom, and said lightly: "What's going on."

"Your Highness—"

The furious voice just now came from Mrs. Grand Priest.

At this time, she heard Ai Lixi's voice, and instantly turned her anger into joy, and said softly: "Your Highness, it's good if you wake up. I just entered His Highness's bedroom, and I couldn't wake you up no matter how much you screamed. And yours But the personal maid has been blocking me all the time, not allowing me to enter the house, and not allowing me to wake you up..."

Elysia stretched out an arm gracefully, and the high priest's wife rushed to help, but this arm fell into Urania's hand.

Urania knelt in front of the couch, carefully helping Erich to sit up.

Erich's gaze swept over the red and swollen cheeks and eyeballs of the personal maid.

The facts are very clear, the wife of the great priest suddenly came into the room to see her daughter.But Urania remembered Elyse's order not to let anyone enter Elyse's house without permission.So he got in the way and annoyed the great priest's wife.

Immediately, Mrs. High Priest slapped the personal maid, and then broke into Elyse's bedroom. Just when Elyse's spirit body left her body, in the eyes of Horus, Mrs. High Priest naturally couldn't wake her up no matter how she yelled. .

Erich thought to herself: This is indeed a hidden danger of using the Eye of Horus, and you must pay attention to it next time.

Looking back at this matter, as a mother, the anxiety of the great priest's wife is understandable.

But she shouldn't have disobeyed Alicia's orders even if she didn't agree with each other, let alone hit someone.

Alixie sighed in her heart, thinking: what I haven't done for a long time, why don't I do it today.

So she raised her eyes again, looked at the ceiling in the room, and at the same time said coldly: "You are my mother, so you can come and go in and out of my bedroom at will and beat my maid, is that right?"

When Urania heard the princess speaking to support her, she regained her spirits, and her red eyes from crying finally stopped shedding tears.

The great priest's wife was obviously taken aback.

But Ailixi's behavior was too natural and fit the original body's temper. After the great priest's wife was startled, she immediately explained in a soft voice: "Good girl, grandma is too worried about you..."

These few claims of hers did cause a little ripple in Alicia's heart.

After all, before wearing the book, Alicia had almost never been called so intimately.

Maternal love and family affection are so strange to her.The unrequited concern of Mrs. Grand Priest is too scarce in Erich's life, so she doesn't adapt very well.

"Auntie accidentally hit your maid, and Auntie came to apologize to her."

The great priest's wife immediately lifted her dress and turned to Urania.

When Urania saw this posture, she was startled, and she waved her hands and refused, saying how could she bear this. "Ma'am, don't blame me anymore."

Unexpectedly, Ai Lixi said in a calm tone: "Since Madam can't abide by the rules I set after entering the palace. Then, Madam should not enter the palace in the future."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only the wife of the great priest, but even Urania was stunned.

It's just that the former was stunned, with an unbelievable expression on his face.The latter, after showing a trace of gratitude and relief, quickly lowered his head to cover it up.

"Your Highness..."

The great priest's wife trembled.

"His Royal Highness is still young, and has never experienced childbearing. After all, he needs a mother... needs an old man like me who has gone through things to take care of him all the time..."

The high priest's wife looked anxious, she obviously still had a lot to say, such as Delos is now looking for a new love, if the princess fails to give birth to a prince smoothly, her status is worrying, etc., all of which will be temporarily swallowed.

The rich-looking and well-maintained wife of the great priest immediately knelt down and apologized to Urania: "My lord maid, I offended you by being impetuous just now, please forgive me..."

Urania was taken aback, and quickly moved away from the high priest's wife.

Unexpectedly, this was not over yet, there was a crisp slap, and the wife of the great priest stretched out her hand to slap her across the face. She slapped Urania with such force that it was almost the same as when she slapped Urania just now in desperation. quickly turned red.

Even Urania was taken aback by this, and when she saw the high priest's wife reaching out her hand again, the personal maid rushed up and grabbed her arm.

Alicia was completely unmoved.

"unnecessary--"

She didn't know whether she was saying that she didn't need the experience of the High Priest's wife, or that she didn't need the High Priest's wife to slap herself in the face to make up for it.

"From today onwards, the wife of the great priest is not allowed to step into the Memphis palace. If there is any violation, it will be handled by the head maid Nanna."

The whole palace knew that Nanna, the head maid, was stubborn and loyal to the princess.

When the great priest's wife heard it, her face immediately turned pale, and the swollen right cheek immediately appeared more red and swollen in contrast.

She is familiar with the temper of her own daughter, and knows that Alixie has always said one thing, and there is no room for change in this matter.

The great priest's wife could only lower her head and barely make a sound: "Yes... obey..."

When she raised her head again, Urania felt heartbroken by the mournful look in her eyes, and she whispered softly like a maid pleading: "Princess..."

Alixi still sat dignifiedly, from her eyes to her face to her sitting posture, she didn't seem to be moved by it in the slightest.

The great priest's wife lowered her head again, and finally turned around slowly, as if she was about to leave Alicia's bedroom.

At the last moment when she stepped out of the door, she suddenly remembered something, turned her head to look at Elyse, but in the end she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only lower her head and whisper something to Urania beside her.

Ailixi could hear clearly that the high priest's wife was reminding the princess's personal maid: today's pigeon soup has also been stewed and delivered, please let the princess eat it...

At this moment, Alixi finally couldn't hold back anymore. She turned her head, put her hands on her forehead, and said silently in her heart: Thank you, thank you for giving me sincere care...

Thinking of this, she suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Wait a minute!"

She didn't look at the face of the great priest's wife brimming with joy, but poured cold water on her mercilessly.

"The cards raised in your manor are servants in name, but they are actually slaves."

"Go back to your manor, let them become civilian employees, and improve their treatment, otherwise the high priest and you will wait for the punishment from the palace."

The joy of the great priest's wife disappeared suddenly, leaving only a dazed expression.

Raising servants in the manor of the great priest and arbitrarily deciding their life and death are indeed against the kingdom's laws, but it is a matter of the people not to blame the king, so it's no big deal.

Unexpectedly, the first princess would make a fuss about such a trivial matter.

The great priest's wife walked out slowly as if she had lost her soul.Her waist seemed to be bent down rapidly, and it seemed that she could no longer support herself.

Erich quickly gave Urania a look, and Urania had been waiting for Erich's signal. As soon as she saw it, the personal maid quickly caught up with the high priest's wife, helped her up without any explanation, and walked slowly. Accompany her and send her out of the palace.

At that moment, Nanna came in from outside the dormitory with a sad expression on her face.

The head maid asked Erich with a manly voice: "Does it really have to be like this?"

At this time, Alixi had already asked someone to bring the earthen pigeon soup prepared by the great priest's wife in advance, scooped a spoonful of it very cherished, and put it in her mouth, drinking and savoring it, feeling very emotional in her heart: such a delicious soup I can't even drink it anymore.

But hearing Nanna's question, Alixie could only answer: "Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. When Pharaoh comes back... the wife of the high priest will understand, and it will be better for her."

She seldom calls the great priest's wife Grandmother, that's because of the influence of her experience before wearing a book, she doesn't have the position of mother in her heart at all.

But just now, when the great priest's wife put down all her dignity, apologized to the maid and slapped herself, Alixi suddenly felt a little touched: Maternal love...is it really so great that it can be humbled into the dust anytime, anywhere?

If this is the case, then she definitely doubts whether she can really become a qualified mother.

"How are you getting ready?"

Alicia asked Nanna.

"It can only be said that there are some eyebrows."

Prior to this, during the period of drowsiness, Erich handed over a lot of affairs in Memphis to Nanna.The God of War's family was busy all day long, and handed over the palace to Urania and the others.

Nanna has a very good memory, and she reported the progress of everything that Alicia entrusted her to do.At the end, he asked again: "Miss, will you start meeting those people you want to meet from tomorrow?"

Alicia thought for a while, and said decisively, "I'll see you from today on."

She ordered Nanna to prepare the royal ship, assembled a team of reliable sailors, prepared supplies, and was ready to go at any time.

In addition, Erich also plans to summon some nobles, officials, big businessmen, and important people in Memphis...

I can't say what the purpose is, I just want to understand their temperament and characteristics, and get acquainted by the way.

In addition, there are some people she wants to focus on, such as characters like Sasha and Tabak.

The most important thing is that she needs to finish all these things before the pharaoh Delos and her brother Solan return to Memphis.

Given that Tylos and Solan had already set off from Tanis, Elysee naturally accelerated the progress.

Fortunately, she has bid farewell to narcolepsy, and now she can focus on her work with [-]% energy, and the progress of various affairs is pushed quickly.

In addition to these daily tasks, Erich worked with the talisman Ymir to design a set of spells, which were specially used for her to log in and out of the Eye of Horus.

A special material with a small amount of divine power was selected by the talisman Ymir. Elyse asked the craftsman to carve it into a cube with one side open, and draw the Eye of Horus and a hexagon inside the cube, which is only the size of an ordinary amulet. You can wear it with you on a copper chain.

It is also very simple to use, just find a place to sit or lie flat.

Then she can log in to the place she wants to reach at any time by reciting the pointing spell silently, and her spirit body can pass through the Eye of Horus to freely shuttle between different places in the world, and even between different dreams.

This way, Elyse doesn't actually need a specific room to use the Eye of Horus anymore.

However, the security work after she logged into the Eye of Horus has obviously become the most important work.

Erich chose to reveal all the special features of the Eye of Horus to Nanna, her most trusted maid.

And to Urania, the personal maid who has already seen some clues, revealed some important information that does not involve Asut.

In the days to come, these two will be responsible for guarding Alixie's body when her spirit body leaves her body for a short time.

During this period of time, Erich's compulsory course before going to bed every night is to learn about the movements of Pharaoh Delos and General Solan through the Eye of Horus.

She dug out all the papyrus maps kept in the royal palace, and every time Tylos and Solan passed a Nome, she would check in on the map.

Her guess is that Soran will use the pharaoh's inspection of the nomes as an excuse to take Delos to those nomes that have been controlled by the border army, and coerce Tilos to make a promise in each nome to appease the border army and the nomes. Noam.

After that, Solan will return to Memphis, the capital of the kingdom, together with Tilos. Here, Tilos will complete a series of sacrificial ceremonies, and confirm in the temple the power Solan obtained in those nomes, that is, Cook uncooked rice into mature rice.

In addition, Erich also guessed that the Pharaoh would not sit still.Instead, he will find a way to fight Solan before returning to Memphis——

But no matter how secretly she observed Tylos, she couldn't see how this young pharaoh could turn himself around from such a huge disadvantage in one fell swoop.

While Erich was busy preparing for her departure from Memphis and following the itinerary of Pharaoh and Big Brother, Tanis sent an important signal.

Biola sent her a prayer: "Great God Amon, I seem... I seem to have picked up some clues from the Stone of Time."

Tanis, the residence of Biola.

The young girl's residence has undergone earth-shaking changes in just a few days.

The border army temporarily stationed in the trading city has been quickly withdrawn.Near the resident, merchants spontaneously built new simple sheds as shops to make up for the loss caused by the last fire.

The camp where Viola lived was no longer guarded by numerous guards day and night.

On the contrary, the soldiers of the frontier army led by Renn surrounded the tent where the girl lived with a wooden fence, and dug a clear water well inside the fence.Then the camp was abandoned.

A small piece of land, a wooden fence, a well, plus the original tent, this is all the living facilities that Viola can obtain in a short time.

After completing this work, Ren led his few remaining soldiers around Tanis, and publicized to all the residents of Tanis that there was a cursed girl living near the market. again.

The key point of Ren's propaganda is: the consequences are at your own risk—anyone touches the body of that foreign girl without permission.

Therefore, any mutations and deaths occur at your own risk, and the border army is not responsible for it.

Ordinarily, the camp where Viola lived should be a forbidden area.

But because the soldiers' propaganda was very clear, touching the girl would trigger the curse.

For a while, many curious people came to visit Viola's residence and tried to talk to Viola.

Outside of Viola's tent it was always bustling.

And every time Ren passed by, he heard someone asking: "Beautiful lady, who the hell put such a vicious curse on you."

At this time, Renn would send everyone away with a distorted expression.

But again and again, Ren himself understood that Viola was not responsible for the death of Catullus.

The two parties who should be responsible are the general Solan who put her in prison, and the pharaoh who ignored the prison and wanted to take her away.

Throughout the affair, Viola was as much a victim as the dead Catullus.

In addition, Viola had to accept the bad luck that the curse was extended to one year.But she accepted all this calmly and tried her best to live here alone.

The more Ren thought of this, the more uncomfortable he felt.

As a loyal soldier, it is impossible to think that the general who commands him and the king who has always served him is wrong.

Under such entanglements and contradictions, Ren is more and more inclined to give Viola some compensation from time to time, bring her some delicious food, or bring a few soldiers to help her with some necessary rough work, fetching water, chopping wood, trimming the lawn, etc.

Then Ren immediately discovered that during these days when there were no guards to take care of her daily life and no one to help her with work, Viola's life was much better than he imagined——

she has money...

Biola carried several golden melon seeds on her body. This kind of precious item is usually used in the transaction of bulk items.Such as piles of wheat, dozens of barrels of wine, or hundreds of barrels of beer.

Biola stood on the inside of the wooden fence, holding a golden melon seed, and invited the most respected goldsmith in the whole market to identify the quality of the golden melon seed, and exchanged the golden melon seed for a certain bakery in the future. Provide her with the bread she needs every day of the year.

Ren thought to himself: ...Fool!

Looking at the girl's slender body, even if she eats a lifetime of bread, she won't need a golden melon seed.

Besides, Biola lived inside the fence, and she made an agreement with the residents of Tanis that she would not take a step outside the fence.

In case the bakery owner escaped from Tanis with this golden melon seed, he didn't even need to escape from Tanis, as long as he moved to the other side of the market, Biola would have nothing to do with him.

Unexpectedly, contrary to Ryan's guess, since the appointed day, the owner of the bakery has been delivering bread to Biola in a regular manner every day, rain or shine, and will stand outside the fence and talk to Biola for a while every day.

Later, in addition to the bread, the boss actually sent a lot of extra supplies to Biola, such as fresh fruits, poultry eggs, cow and goat milk...

They even sent a lot of flowers and grass seeds, which were planted by Biola around her tent.Within a few days, everything inside the fence was completely new.

The girl's solitary life in the tent is more nourishing than people imagined.

And that bakery also provided food for Ren and other border troops who stayed in Tanis.

After a few days, Ryan found that the bakery's business was improving rapidly. The bakery owner was busy all day long beside the bread oven built with bricks and clay.

A few days later, the owner of the bakery even returned the golden melon seed to Biola.

Biola repeatedly declined, but the bakery owner said that he had already received a lot, and he really didn't dare to accept such a valuable remuneration.

"Miss, with your guidance these days, the extra money I earn every day is enough to pay for your daily food expenses. How can I be ashamed to ask me to charge such an expensive reward?"

Ren's face froze, thinking what kind of magical power this little girl possessed, that she could drive so many people to do things willingly for her.

He didn't know that after he left, Viola asked the bakery owner in a low voice: "Uncle, do you have any clues about what I asked you to ask?"
