Chapter 313 The Queen Who Ruled Five City-States

On the second day after marrying Nafir, Roy took Andromeda with him and left Itawui City by boat with a feeling of returning home.

Two days later.

Roy's ship sailed from the Nile River into the Mediterranean Sea, and then arrived at the port of Pharos.

Taking Andromeda to the city of Pharos, Roy was surprised to see Aries, the governor of Pharos, personally training the soldiers here.

What surprised Roy even more was that there were three thousand more brown-skinned slaves building roads in Faros.

Although most Egyptians have brown skin, in northern Egypt, because there are a large number of people of West Asian race and Egyptian and West Asian race mixed here, the skin color of northern Egyptians is closer to that of West Asian race.

It is obviously an abnormal thing to see three thousand brown-skinned young men in northern Egypt.

"His Majesty!"

While Roy was observing the slaves, Aries spotted Roy and Andromeda. He immediately abandoned the training soldiers and ran to Roy, saying as if he wanted to take credit.

"Are you observing those slaves? They were Libyans who attacked the city of Pharos. After I defeated them with the Athenian soldiers, I turned them all into slaves building roads."

“Turns out he’s a Libyan!”

To the west of the Egyptian region is the Libyan region.

The indigenous people living in Libya are Libyans.

Three thousand six hundred years later, due to the rich natural resources in the Libyan region, Libya once became the most developed country in Africa.

But in the era 3,600 years ago, neither the Egyptians nor the Phoenicians were interested in ruling the Libyan region because oil, natural gas and other resources could not be turned into wealth.

The backward-civilized Libyans live a nomadic life and often wage war against Egypt, which is rich in food.

No longer curious about the slave, Roy immediately said to Aries.

"Aries, I am now ready to return to the city of Athens. I came to the city of Pharos to tell you that I have married Queen Nafir of Egypt. In the future, our Kingdom of Athens can purchase food from the Kingdom of Egypt ruled by Nafir."

After hearing the good news, Aries looked at Andromeda happily and said.

"Your Majesty is so powerful. Not only did he take care of Princess Andromeda of the Hyksos, but he also took care of the Queen of the Egyptians. In the future, we can buy food directly from the Egyptians, because Princess Andromeda is your Majesty's The women around us and the Hyksos navy will not stop our grain ships."

Roy nodded and said.

"Theoretically speaking, the Hyksos really don't dare to block our grain ships anymore. If the Hyksos navy blocks us, you threaten them with Andromeda and say I will kill Andromeda." Lomeda as revenge."

"Your Majesty's threats to the Hyksos are probably not serious!"

"If the Hyksos don't care about Andromeda's life or death, I don't mind giving Andromeda's head to Cepheus."

Seeing that Aries was so frightened that his smile disappeared, Roy reached out and patted Aries on the shoulder and said.

"Aries! After I leave, Pharos, Buto, Sais, and Atrebis, these four cities belonging to the Kingdom of Athens and with a population of more than 100,000, will be temporarily handed over to you to manage. . Your main task is to implement the policies of the Kingdom of Athens so that the land and population of these 10,000 square kilometers are no different from those of the Kingdom of Athens."

After hearing what Roy said, Aries' legs softened and he knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, are you serious? Even your father-in-law, Lord Pandion, was only appointed by you as the governor of the city of Corinth. Now you ask me to become the governor of four city-states. I really don't dare. I beg you to find someone else."

Even if Aries is a short-sighted young man, he still knows that Roy's appointment carries huge dangers, so he refuses Roy's appointment without hesitation.

Roy smiled with satisfaction.

"Then give some guidance to the governors of Buto City, Sais City, and Atrebis City, and don't let them cause trouble."

After Roy and Andromeda left the port of Faros City by boat, the two stood at the stern of the boat and looked at Faros City. Andromeda couldn't help but asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, did you really want General Aries to become the governor of the four cities just now?"

Roy said immediately.

"Even if he were my brother, I would not give him such power. I was just testing his ambition. I will hand over the position of governor of the four cities to others."

"That's more than 10,000 square kilometers - one-third of the territory and half of the population of the Kingdom of Athens. Who can you trust so much?"

Roy turned around and looked at Crete in the distance.

"You will know soon. If you had not betrayed me, I originally wanted you to become the governor of the Four Cities."

Andromeda lowered her head and said.

"I'm sorry! I shouldn't have betrayed your trust."

Five days later.

When the fresh water in the cabin was almost exhausted, Roy's ship finally arrived at Donia.

While the crew went ashore to replenish fresh water, Roy took Andromeda to the palace in Donia.

Palace hall.

Pandora, who was sitting on the throne, saw Roy and Andromeda walking in, and teased with a playful smile on her face.

"The number of women around you really increases every once in a while. When will your greed be filled?"

Roy walked over to Pandora and sat on her throne, then held her in his arms and said.

"She is Andromeda, the daughter of King Cepheus of the Hyksos. I once treated her as my own woman, but now she has been reduced to a slave by me because she betrayed my trust."

After explaining Andromeda's identity to Pandora, Roy smiled awkwardly.

"But you are right, there is indeed a woman beside me. Her name is Nefer. She was originally the sister of the Egyptian Pharaoh Kamose, and now she is the queen of the Egyptians."

Looking at Roy's hesitant expression on his face, Pandora smiled and said.

"Just say what you want to say!"

"Pandora--"

Roy took a deep breath and said.

"The main purpose of my coming to you is that I hope you can go to Egypt and manage the cities of Pharos, Buto, Sais and Atribis to the west of the Nile Delta for me. In return, I can make you the patron saint of Pharos."

After hearing Roy's words, Pandora's eyes lit up immediately.

She is now only the queen of Donia. As the governor of Roy's four cities, she is the queen who rules over five city-states.

Then she asked with some doubt.

"Since the Egyptian queen Nefer is your woman, why don't you let her manage these four cities on your behalf?"

"Because she is the queen of the Kingdom of Egypt, not the queen of the Kingdom of Athens."

Roy said with a serious expression.

"The policies implemented by the Kingdom of Athens are completely different from those of the Kingdom of Egypt. When the Kingdom of Egypt solves the Hyksos, it may be the time for the Kingdom of Athens to go to war with the Kingdom of Egypt."

"So that's it!"

Pandora said suddenly.

"In order to rule Egypt with the policies of the Kingdom of Athens, you have long had the idea of ​​destroying the Kingdom of Egypt. The Egyptian queen named Nefer must not know that the one who will make her the queen of a fallen country in the future is not someone else, but you, her husband who married her."
