Chapter 411 The Future of Andromeda
Thebes.
The palace.
Harmonia's bedroom.
The rising sun in the east has illuminated the whole world, but Roy is still sleeping late.
Harmonia is held in Roy's arms like a human pillow.
Although she has woken up from her deep sleep, she remains motionless, unwilling to wake Roy from his sweet dream.
"Please let me in, I really have something important to do."
Andromeda's voice came from outside, and Harmonia immediately frowned in displeasure.
Roy also opened his eyes and said to Harmonia while yawning due to lack of sleep.
"Good morning, my dear wife."
Harmonia said with a loving and gentle smile.
"You can still sleep for a while, I'll go deal with things outside."
"You are the one who should sleep."
Seeing Harmonia with two dark circles under her eyes, Roy said with pity.
"You look like this... Did you not sleep all night?"
"From midnight to dawn, I slept for about two hours."
"I'm sorry!"
Roy said distressedly.
"I shouldn't have been greedy for your body and let you sleep at three in the morning..."
"My dear, I can only feel happy that you like my body so much."
Roy pecked Harmonia's forehead and said.
"You should have a good sleep. This is the husband's order to his wife."
After getting dressed and coming outside the palace, Roy saw Andromeda being stopped in the courtyard by Iole, Helle, Alcestis, and Laodamia, and asked expressionlessly.
"Andromeda, why are you here?"
Seeing that Roy had come out, Iole and the others no longer stopped Andromeda, and Andromeda immediately ran to Roy and begged.
"Queen Nefer of Egypt wants to wage war against us Hyksos. I hope Your Majesty can save us Hyksos."
In the history of another world, although the Pharaoh Kamose of the South Egyptians died in the war to expel the Hyksos, the succeeding Pharaoh Ahmose not only expelled the Hyksos from Egypt, but also conquered the Sinai Peninsula and Phoenicia ruled by the Hyksos, and controlled part of Syria.
Historical facts have proved that after the consumption of Kamose, the Hyksos were no longer able to fight against the South Egyptians.
As long as Nefer does not make stupid mistakes, her South Egyptian army can crush and defeat the Hyksos with strength.
Looking at Andromeda who bowed her head and asked for help, Roy said with a playful smile.
"It is not in the interests of our Athenian Empire for Nefer to conquer the Hyksos and Phoenicians and develop the Kingdom of Egypt into the Egyptian Empire, but why should I help the Hyksos?"
"You can marry me and become the king of our Hyksos. In order to save the Hyksos, I will support you in transforming the Hyksos from a nomadic people to an agricultural people. I will support you in driving Seth [Zeus] off the throne of the patron saint of the Hyksos. Now Seth [Zeus] cannot save us Hyksos, and he is no longer worthy of being the patron saint of our Hyksos."
After listening to Andromeda's words, Roy stretched out his right hand to hold Andromeda's small chin, lifted her face and said.
"Andromeda, I let you become a maid to serve others, do you resent me in your heart?"
Andromeda immediately shook her head and said.
"Not only do I not resent you, but I thank you for letting me realize my situation. With the rise of the Athenian Empire and the Kingdom of Egypt, we Hyksos are now either conquered by the Athenian Empire or the Kingdom of Egypt, and my status is no different from that of a princess of a fallen country. In order to save the Hyksos, I beg you to conquer the Hyksos. Because we Hyksos have had a hatred with the Egyptians for hundreds of years, the Egyptians will definitely treat us as slaves if they conquer us Hyksos."
"Very good!"
Roy said with satisfaction.
"You have indeed become smarter, so I will accept your request and conquer the Hyksos before the Egyptians. Andromeda! In order to reduce the resistance of the Hyksos to me, your status is no longer a slave maid, but my concubine fiancee. If your performance is good enough, I will consider holding a formal wedding to marry you."
Concubine-
If Andromeda was an ordinary maid, becoming Roy's concubine would make her so happy that she would cry.
But Andromeda is not an ordinary maid, she is a princess of the Hyksos.
When she was just born, her father Cepheus was still the nominal king of Egypt, and her identity was also the princess of the Kingdom of Egypt.
Although the Hyksos were already in their twilight years, Andromeda still did not let go of her pride.
So getting married to Roy and getting the status of the main wife was what Andromeda wanted.
And this was not just for Andromeda herself.
If Andromeda was just a concubine, not only would her status be lower than the main wives, but even the children she gave birth to would have lower inheritance rights than the legitimate sons born by the main wives.
Even for her own children, Andromeda had to strive for the status of the main wife.
In a blink of an eye, it was the fourth day of Roy's marriage to Harmonia.
This was the day when Roy was going to Egypt.
After saying goodbye to Harmonia reluctantly, Roy took Andromeda away from Thebes and headed for Okalia Port to board a ship.
Okalia Port.
Fifty warships of the Athenian Empire were parked here, with five thousand iron spears, one thousand saddles, stirrups and horse horses in the cabin.
In addition to these war supplies, there were 1,500 Athenian soldiers using iron spears as sailors.
Roy brought Andromeda to Okalia Port, boarded the flagship, and set off with the fleet.
On the fifth day from Okalia Port.
Roy's fleet arrived at Knossos.
The soldiers landed to replenish fresh water, and Roy also took Andromeda into Knossos.
After a few months, the port of Knossos, which was destroyed by the tsunami caused by the eruption of the Thera Island volcano, has now been almost rebuilt.
The most important thing is that because half of the population of Knossos migrated to Thessaly, the food problem in Knossos was alleviated, so Knossos showed some signs of revival.
Roy took Andromeda to walk on the streets of Knossos, looking at the streets where there were almost no pedestrians and sighed.
"If Athens had not become the hub of Aegean trade, Knossos would have risen again. Unfortunately, I don't want Crete to become the trade center of the Mediterranean. Andromeda! When I conquer all of Egypt, I will let Nefer rule the central and southern parts of Egypt, and you will rule northern Egypt and Crete!"
Andromeda said with a surprised expression.
"Your Majesty, don't you want Pandora to rule northern Egypt and Crete?"
Roy shook his head and said.
"Pandora is not a human, she is the incarnation of a goddess. If I give northern Egypt and Crete to Pandora for a long time, she will definitely have ambitions to turn these areas into the territory of the goddess Pandora."
