Chapter 300 The Murderer of Ahmose

As the sun rose in the east, Nafir's soldiers began to pack up their tents in preparation for continuing on their journey.

Nafir's barracks.

While Roy was enjoying breakfast with Nafir and Andromeda, a general broke into the barracks directly with Ahmose's envoy.

Before Nafir could scold them with an unhappy expression, the messenger of Ahmose knelt on the ground and told everyone a piece of earth-shattering news.

"Princess Nefer! His Majesty Ahmose was bitten to death by a cobra last night. Please return to Thebes to inherit the throne and preside over the funeral for your brother, His Majesty Ahmose."

"Ahmose is dead—"

Nafir, who had just stood up, immediately shook his body and fell back.

Roy stretched out his hands to wrap around her slender waist, and after holding her in his arms, Roy couldn't help but sigh when he saw the sad expression on her little face.

"You are not Cleopatra after all!"

Cleopatra VII——

In the history of another world, she was born around 70 BC - the last female pharaoh of the Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt.

Although she married her half-brother Ptolemy XIII according to tradition, the two siblings not only had no relationship as husband and wife, but also turned against each other to compete for power.

In the end, Cleopatra killed her brother with the help of Caesar and became the powerful queen of Egypt.

In order to respect tradition, after killing her brother Ptolemy XIII, Cleopatra made another brother Ptolemy XIV her nominal husband and puppet pharaoh.

When Cleopatra and Caesar's son grew up, Cleopatra poisoned her half-brother Ptolemy XIV, directly making her son the pharaoh who would rule Egypt with her.

Cleopatra may have been for power, or perhaps for her children.

No matter what the reason is, the fact is that she directly killed her two younger brothers.

Although Nefer also had the ambition to compete for the throne, she did not want to fight with the Ahmose brothers and sisters, so she not only agreed to divide Egypt with Ahmose, but was also willing to let Ahmose rule more city-states.

Now that he learned that Ahmose was dead, Nafir felt really sad.

After all, after the death of Kamos, Ahmose was her only biological brother.

Nafir, who recovered from the shock, glared at the messenger of Ahmose with angry eyes and said.

"There are hundreds of guards, hundreds of male servants and maids in the palace. How could a highly venomous cobra appear in the palace and bite brother Ahmose? Brother Ahmose must have been murdered!"

Hearing Nafir's words, the messenger was so frightened that he did not dare to respond.

The murderer that Ahemoth, who had just become Pharaoh, could kill was not something that a messenger of noble origin dared to provoke.

Seeing the messenger's silent reaction, Nafir angrily rebuked him.

"Get out! As a favorite of brother Ahmose, you don't even dare to tell me the truth."

With a look of shame on the messenger's face, he immediately stood up and left Nafir's barracks.

After walking out of the barracks, the messenger whispered as he walked away quickly.

"Princess Nefer, you have no idea how terrifying their power is. Although I am a friend and favorite of His Majesty Ahmose, I don't want to risk the lives of myself and my whole family."

After driving away the messenger of Ahmose, Nafir drove out the other people in the barracks.

After Roy, Nafel, and Andromeda were the only ones left in the barracks, Nafel asked Roy.

"Who do you think killed brother Ahmose?"

"It's easy!"

Roy said confidently.

“Whoever is the biggest beneficiary after the death of Ahmose will be the real murderer.”

Nafir immediately opened his eyes in shock and shouted angrily.

"Do you think it was me who killed brother Ahmose and pretended to cry for brother Ahmose?"

The biggest beneficiary after Ahmose's death was undoubtedly Nafir.

Because after Ahmose's death, Naferr did not need to divide Egypt with Ahmose and could directly become the Queen of Egypt who ruled more than 20 city-states.

Ahemoth was also the only remaining man from the Pharaoh's family.

After the death of Ahmose, no one will force the Nafel family to intermarry. As long as Nafel can forcefully suppress those who want her to marry a descendant of the royal family, Nafel can marry the husband she wants. .

The real murderer of Ahmose obviously knew that all people who did not know the truth would think that Nafir was the murderer of Ahmose, so he killed Ahmose unscrupulously.

Seeing Nafir's excited reaction, Roy shook his head and explained.

"Nafir, of course I believe you are not the murderer. I just want you to think about it. Apart from you, who is the biggest beneficiary after Ahmose's death?"

"Besides me, the biggest beneficiary——"

Temple of Amon!

If Nafer and Ahemoth divide Egypt, the god Amun will change from the protector god of more than twenty city-states to the protector god of thirteen city-states.

The Temple of Amun will also change from the state religion of more than twenty city-states to the state religion of thirteen city-states.

The division of Egypt by Nefer and Ahemoth would not only cause huge losses to the god Amun and the temple of Amun, but also create powerful enemies.

The goddess Sekhmet in Itawui City will become the protector of the country against the god Amun, and the Sekhmet Temple will also become the state religion against the temple of Amun.

"Do you think it was the Temple of Amon that killed brother Ahmose?"

Nafir said in disbelief.

"Between me and my brother Ahmose, the Temple of Amun should be biased towards my brother Ahmose as a man! Even if the Temple of Amun wants to stop us from dividing Egypt, it should have taken action against me."

"Nafer! Although the Temple of Amun does support male pharaohs more because Amun is a male god, Ahmose is not the son of Amun, he is the son of the moon god Khons."

Seeing Nafer's expression of realization, Roy continued.

"The most important thing is that you are not in Thebes, the Temple of Amun cannot kill you, they can only choose to kill Ahmose."

The history of another world has proved that the Temple of Amun has a huge control over the city of Thebes.

If the Pharaoh is the ruler who rules the city of Thebes with royal power, the Temple of Amun is another ruler who rules the city of Thebes with faith.

Although the rule of the Temple of Amun over the city of Thebes may not be stronger than the royal power of the Pharaoh, it is definitely not weaker than the royal power.

So when the pharaoh betrayed Amun, the Temple of Amun could make the 20-year-old pharaoh die young.

But historical facts also prove that the Temple of Amun only had absolute authority in Thebes.

Amenhotep IV, the pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty of Egypt, moved the capital from Thebes to Ekhtaton. Even if Amenhotep IV abolished Amun's status as the protector of the country, the Temple of Amun could not immediately kill the enemy of Amun.

Two thousand years ago BC, Nefer's ancestors moved the capital from Thebes to Itawy and let the goddess Sekhmet replace Amun as the protector of the country. The Temple of Amun also failed to kill the pharaoh who betrayed Amun.

These historical facts can prove that the Temple of Amun can only control the life and death of the pharaoh in Thebes.
