Chapter 312 Andromeda and Nafel

The pharaoh's palace in the city of Itaw.

Nafir and Roy, who had become the Queen of Egypt, returned to the hall where the throne was. Nafir excitedly pulled Roy to sit on her throne and said.

"My dear, now I have finally become a real female pharaoh. Next, you will lead our army to drive out the Hyksos and fulfill brother Kamos's last wish!"

Hearing Nafir's request, Roy shook his head without hesitation.

Because for Roy, only when the Egyptians and the Hyksos had an even confrontation could the Kingdom of Athens establish a stable rule in Egypt.

If Roy helped Nafir expel the Hyksos, Nafir would certainly demand the return of the Egyptian lands ruled by the Kingdom of Athens.

"Naphiel! I have been away from the city of Athens for a long time, so I must return to the city of Athens. If you must start a war with the Hyksos, then you can only let your generals fight with the Hyksos. The Hyksos fight. If you don't want to suffer the consequences of losing the war, train your soldiers first and equip them with weapons."

Although Nafir now has an army of 120,000 at his disposal, this army not only has 50,000 new soldiers, but also 100,000 of the soldiers use wooden sticks as weapons and have no armor to protect their bodies.

Such an army only has a numerical advantage. If it really fights the Hyksos army, it is likely to lose at least half of the war.

Although Nafir has no experience in commanding an army, she also knows that the Hyksos army is very powerful. Even her brother Kamos often loses to the Hyksos in wars and can only rely on huge weapons. Numerous superiority depleted the Hyksos' numbers of soldiers.

Roy refused to fight the Hyksos, Nafir said with a displeased look on his face.

"Without the leadership of your powerful demigod hero, it would be impossible for my army to defeat the Hyksos. Since you are going to return to Athens temporarily, I will wait for you to come back before fighting the war with the Hyksos. But Before you leave, you must marry me and let me conceive your child. As a direct descendant of the Pharaoh family, I have the responsibility to continue the bloodline of the family. And I have no heirs. Once I die suddenly, Egypt will definitely be destroyed. There will be civil strife over the throne."

"We have already agreed that as long as you sell grain to the Kingdom of Athens, I will marry you. You don't have to worry about me breaking my promise."

"Then I will arrange the wedding now. Tomorrow we will go to the Sekhmet Temple and become husband and wife under the witness of the goddess Sekhmet and all the temple priests and priest nobles in Itawui City."

After Nafir began to work on the wedding, Roy returned to his room alone.

Seeing Andromeda standing at the window looking north, Roy walked behind Andromeda and said.

"Your uncle Phineus was the murderer of Camos—that's what I told Nephele."

Seeing Andromeda turning around and staring at him in surprise, Roy continued.

"I'm not doing this to ruin your relationship with Nafir, nor do I want Nafir to bully you. I just want Nafir to know the truth. Tomorrow I will hold a wedding with Nafir, and the day after tomorrow I will I will take you to the city of Athens, so you don’t have to worry that Nafir will always bully you or even find an opportunity to kill you.”

"You're going to marry Nafir-"

After hearing the news, Andromeda looked at Roy with a painful expression and said.

"Since you want to be Nafir's husband, you will definitely join the Egyptians and become the enemy of our Hyksos people. Maybe in order to please Nafir, you will kill my father and my son with your own hands. Uncle and my brothers. Even if you don't kill them, you will turn them into prisoners and slaves for humiliation - just like you are turning me into a slave for humiliation."

"It is already destined that I will become enemies with the Hyksos."

Looking at Andromeda's little face, Roy shook his head and said.

"No - I have long been enemies with you Mycenaeans, a branch of the Hyksos, which means I have long been enemies with you Hyksos."

"Then you regarded me as your enemy from the beginning and never thought about marrying me?"

Roy shook his head again and said.

"I thought about marrying you, and then integrating the Hyksos into the Kingdom of Athens and giving up their belief in Zeus. Unfortunately, you did something stupid like betraying me, so I had to give up marrying you and letting the Hyksos The Thosians integrated into the Kingdom of Athens.”

The responsibility for the Hyksos' inability to integrate into the Kingdom of Athens actually lies with themselves——

Being accused by Roy of a crime that was related to the life and death of the Hyksos, Andromeda felt like she was carrying a huge mountain on her back. Her legs were weak and she knelt down in front of Roy, crying and pleading.

"You still can't forgive me? I have remembered the lesson and will never dare to betray you again."

Looking at Andromeda's pitiful appearance, Roy stretched out his right hand and pinched her chin and said.

"You want me to forgive you - it's not impossible! But you have to be a slave for at least half a year before I give you a chance to get rid of your slave status."

Half a year——

With the specific time to get rid of her slave status, Andromeda cried and laughed with joy.

Roy picked up Andromeda from the ground with both hands, held her in his arms, and said while gently stroking her back with his right hand to comfort her.

"Hurry up and sort out your mood. You can easily get sick like this."

"Um……"

Andromeda agreed, then grabbed Roy's gold belt dishonestly with both hands.

Realizing that Andromeda wanted to take off her golden belt, Roy said with an unhappy expression.

"Don't do what you shouldn't do."

After saying that, Roy pushed Andromeda away from his arms and turned to leave.

Andromeda, who was left alone in the room, murmured in a low voice with a firm expression on her face.

"Time is running out for us Hyksos. For the future of us Hyksos, even if I can't get his favor, I have to get his child. In the future, when my child becomes the king of the Hyksos, can he still be cruel to the Hyksos and not give us a way to live?"

The next day.

As agreed, Roy and Nefer came to the Temple of Sekhmet together.

After completing the sacred wedding under the witness of the goddess Sekhmet, all the temple priests and priest nobles, Roy and Nefer returned to the Pharaoh's palace.

The Queen's bedroom.

Standing at the window and looking in the direction of Athens, Roy was thinking about whether to become a de facto couple with Nefer.

Thinking of Procne and Philomela who would meet him soon, Roy finally made up his mind and turned around and said.

"Nefer! Although I married you for food, I cannot become a de facto husband and wife with you yet. I have already let my fiancée down, so I want to become a de facto husband and wife with my fiancée first."

Hearing Roy's words, Nefer, who was lying on the bed waiting for Roy, said calmly.

"I don't want to get pregnant now, so that I can't rule Egypt as the queen."

After saying that, Nefer immediately turned his back to Roy.

It was only then that tears flashed in her eyes.
