Chapter 256 Andromeda's Misunderstanding

In order to make Andromeda voluntarily surrender, Roy did deliberately separate from her to let her feel the dangers of the world.

Without the protection of Cepheus, not to mention the Egyptians who had escaped from the rule of the Hyksos, even the Egyptians who were still ruled by the Hyksos might hurt Andromeda with hatred for being enslaved by the Hyksos.

Looking at Andromeda's pitiful face, Roy stretched out his hands to wipe the tears from her eyes and said.

"Don't cry, I have been following you just now, so you have always been safe."

Then Roy looked at the three farmers and said coldly.

"You still don't leave, do you want to become a corpse?"

Now Roy has the power of the King of Athens.

Under the pressure of Roy's power, the three farmers immediately turned around and fled in a hurry.

Seeing that Roy did not kill the three farmers, Andromeda said dissatisfiedly.

"These Egyptians dared to offend me, why didn't you kill them?"

"I don't want their blood to stain your eyes, and I don't want their deaths to cause you nightmares."

Roy said with a smile.

"And I don't plan to let them go!"

After saying that, Roy covered Andromeda's eyes with his right hand, and then looked at the three farmers who escaped.

"Salting--"

As Roy activated the power of [Salting], the majestic divine power turned into azure divine light and bloomed from Roy's eyes.

The bodies of the three farmers instantly turned into human-shaped salt statues under the irradiation of the azure divine light.

After Roy put down his right hand covering Andromeda's eyes, he saw the three farmers turned into salt statues, and Andromeda said with wide eyes full of shock.

"Did you do this? Not only can you take me to the sky, but you can also turn them into salt statues. Do you have other abilities?"

"This is my secret, I don't need to tell you! Princess Andromeda, I ask you again now, are you willing to follow me to the Pharos area and teach my soldiers to learn Egyptian? If you refuse me again, this time I will really leave you behind."

Andromeda frowned and said.

"I am an unmarried princess, don't you consider my reputation?"

"I only consider the benefits you can bring me."

"Then answer me a question, are you married?"

"No!"

Roy shook his head without hesitation.

"I have always been unmarried."

Hearing Roy's answer, Andromeda breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since you are not married yet, why don't you propose to my father? With your ability plus my father's ability, you will definitely be able to defeat Kamose and the South Egyptians."

"Why should I help you defeat the South Egyptians?"

Roy couldn't help but tease.

"Andromeda, you don't really think that as long as I help you defeat the South Egyptians, I can marry you and become your father's heir to the throne, right?"

Hearing Roy's question, Andromeda fell silent.

As a princess of the Hyksos, Andromeda certainly knew that their people had no tradition of letting women inherit the throne since the Aryan era.

It is precisely because men have higher inheritance rights than women that Perseus, the grandson of King Acrisius of Mycenae, cannot become the heir to the throne of the King of Mycenae, even though he is the most outstanding descendant of King Acrisius.

If Perseus wants to become the King of Mycenae, the only choice is to seize power by force.

Looking at Andromeda's reaction, Roy continued.

"I have my own interests, which are different from those of the Hyksos. And you don't have to worry, you Hyksos can at least hold on for eight years under the attack of the South Egyptians."

After listening to Roy's words, Andromeda finally raised her head and said.

"I can go with you to the Pharos region, but you can't be rude to me. After all, I am not the daughter of a commoner. Only the one who holds a wedding with me can become my husband."

"I never thought of being rude to you! I also know that you are a noble princess. Only by holding a wedding for you can I become a husband that satisfies you."

After saying that, Roy stretched out his hands and picked up Andromeda in a princess hug.

"Ah--"

Andromeda screamed shyly.

"What are you going to do?"

"I want to take you on the road!"

Roy immediately teased.

"If you are not afraid of blisters on your feet from walking, I can let you walk by yourself."

"Well--then why don't you hold me and fly?"

"My princess, do you think I am a god or a human? Flying is my last means of survival. Every second of flying consumes a lot of divine power. In the absence of a horse, I will of course walk as much as I can."

After saying that, Roy held Andromeda and walked forward, walking south along the bank of the Nile.

Lying in Roy's arms and looking at his cheek, under the influence of Aphrodite's blessing, Andromeda felt that Roy was more and more charming.

When Andromeda thought of Roy suddenly appearing to save her just now, her heart was beating like a drum.

Then she remembered that her father said that the Kingdom of Athens had become the overlord of the Aegean Sea and was a force that could not be underestimated.

Although Roy is not a demigod hero yet, Roy not only has a record of defeating great heroes such as Minos and Perseus [thousands of enemies], but he can also do things that demigod heroes cannot.

What Andromeda couldn't figure out was why Roy wasn't married yet.

After all, normally speaking, with Roy's age and status, it wouldn't be surprising to have more than a dozen women.

Looking at Roy's profile, Andromeda said in her heart.

"Is it possible that although he is not married, he actually has many concubines and lovers?"

Because she didn't know much about Roy, Andromeda didn't know that although Roy was not married yet, he had several fiancées.

Now she just feels that even if Roy already has a concubine and a lover, it will not prevent her from becoming Roy's wife and queen.

After all, in this era, it is very common for the king of a country to have many concubines or lovers.

At this time, Roy didn't know that he had been regarded as Andromeda's suitor.

It was precisely because she regarded Roy as her future husband that Andromeda no longer resisted physical contact with Roy.

When King Cephes of Egypt recruited mercenaries from various city-states, he not only promised the mercenary leaders food as reward, but also promised that the mercenary leaders would have the opportunity to become Andromeda's husband.

Today, Kefus personally confirmed his promise in front of everyone.

Except for Minos, almost every mercenary leader who came to Avaris in response to the recruitment had the idea of ​​getting food and Andromeda at the same time. Andromeda also regarded all the mercenary leaders as own suitor.

Because Roy has been with the mercenary leaders, Andromeda also accepted Roy as a suitor by default.

Although Roy had said that he did not want to become a mercenary of Cepheus, Andromeda did not think that Roy did not pursue her idea.

after all--

She is still very confident in her beauty and charm.

Even if Roy doesn't want to become a mercenary, it doesn't affect Roy's desire to pursue her and marry her.

Let me say here that only the human body can carry the human soul.

When the three farmers turned into salt statues, their souls had already left their bodies, so even if the effect of salting disappeared, they were gone.
