Chapter 164
Chapter 164
Temple of Amun in the Temple of Karnak, Thebes.
When the farce was unfolding, General Solan had been watching with cold eyes.
As Solan, who had personally experienced everything in Tanis, of course he knew what Biola meant to Pharaoh.Therefore, it is not surprising that the pharaoh proposed in public.
What surprised him was Erich's reaction——
It was hard for him to imagine that the calm woman in front of him, with a mocking smile on her lips, was actually the younger sister who always raised her head and always said that I was going to be the first princess.
After Solan talked with Erich last time, he was quite shocked.He suddenly realized that his heart knot for his sister for many years was actually only caused by one fact: the other party is a girl, and she doesn't need to bleed and sweat like him, desperately fighting for her father's affirmation, and she can easily achieve her goal .
But now Solan finally realized that his knot was meaningless.It is better to think about how to deal with their old and cunning father if they regard their younger sister as an imaginary enemy.
Now that the Pharaoh had publicly announced the deposed first princess, beside Solan, the wife of the great priest was already sobbing, obviously worried about the future fate of her daughter and grandson.
But the great priest Dahoor didn't say a word, and he didn't show his position.
This politician, who has been in the officialdom for many years, knows one thing very clearly: Before all parties have fully shown their cards, don't rush to choose sides.
Soran also thought so. Although he had already made a promise to Elyse, he still planned to sit on the sidelines for a while before deciding how he should behave.
In the final analysis, he, Solan, is just a person whose interests come first.
Pharaoh Delos lost his object of marriage proposal, but recovered from his anger in the shortest time, and restored his demeanor as a king.
With a cold expression, he took a step towards the tall foreign envoy and asked coldly, "Is it your arrangement?"
He should have guessed it a long time ago. When he talked with Viola last time, that lady had already expressed her point of view very clearly: she had no interest in becoming the first princess, let alone getting involved in the marriage between the pharaoh and the princess.
Pharaoh could naturally see that she had a firm personality, and she was not the kind of person who would play hard to get.Therefore, she should not appear on this occasion, let alone stand in the front row, waiting for Delos to say the proposal.
Delos thought to himself: He was careless.
It was he who forgot this in joy and desperation.
"Exactly—"
The tall man with blond hair and brown eyes was none other than Kalsha, the Hittite prince.
At this moment, he had a bright smile on his face, as if Delos had given him the whole of Lower Egypt.
"Miss Biola, I invited you to Thebes."
At this point, Delos finally came to his senses—he finally knew who took the first step to pick up Biola from Tanis.Pharaoh couldn't help but secretly scolded himself that his subordinates were all idiots.
"But she asked to leave from Thebes, so I will naturally fulfill her request and send her back to the Hittite Kingdom."
For a moment, there was an uproar in the Temple of Amon.
What about the birthday celebration?How did it become an occasion for emotional disputes between Hittite and Egypt?
What about the little princess?
Where is the first princess?
Now that Pharaoh has personally announced that the first princess was deposed, will she still be able to enjoy the beauty brought by her royal status in the future?Or was she kicked out of the royal family and became a poor abandoned woman?
Facing the glare from Pharaoh Delos, Karsha raised the corners of his mouth and smiled happily.
In fact, he did not send Biola back to Hittite, but, following her own wishes, sent her to Tanis.Alicia also knew about this.
Only Pharaoh did not know.
But Karsha can get endless fun from Delos' anger-the good show is yet to come, and I am afraid that Pharaoh will be even more angry, and he will have more fun.
I saw that the Hittite prince no longer looked at Pharaoh, but turned to the direction where Elyse was, bowed deeply to her, and asked softly: "Dear Amon, beautiful Egyptian woman Elyse, May I ask if you are willing to accept me, the Hittite prince Kalsha's marriage proposal, and become the Hittite prince and concubine?"
There was a dead silence in the Temple of Amon.
The musicians had already stopped playing, and Nanna forgot to coax the children. Even Senmut, who didn't care about everything, raised his head upon hearing this.
People were a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times more surprised than before——
This... who has been among the foreign envoys who came to watch the ceremony, is the Hittite prince Kalsha?
That Karsha who has quelled the dispute over the Hittite domestic reserve, is in charge of the regent power, and can ascend the Hittite throne at any time?
How did he know Alixie, and how did he want to propose to her?
The most terrible thing is, how did he choose his timing so well that he proposed to marry him immediately after the pharaoh himself confirmed that the first princess was deposed?
The navigator Gregor and the artisan's favored Karam who were mixed in with Erich's entourage both dropped their jaws in shock—isn't this the adventurer Asiut?He clearly said his name was Sharka!
The astonished ones even included Erich herself, whose white feather crown was decorated with lilies trembling slightly.
But Ailixi just recalled the conversation between the two when she met Karsha last time, and she already knew that the prince's plan had been going on for a long time, but she got it wrong last time.Therefore, there was no strict rejection, so I gave the other party courage.
Of course, Karsha is willing to give her this opportunity now, and she doesn't mind taking advantage of it.
So Ailixi walked lightly, took a step forward, opened her red lips lightly, and asked softly: "Your Highness, I am just a princess who has just been deposed by the Pharaoh. With this status, how can I be worthy of your dignity?" marriage proposal?"
Karsha suddenly burst into a smile, as if joy fell from the sky, and replied repeatedly: "You deserve it. With your appearance, bearing, foresight and wisdom, the princess has already yielded to you. For this reason, Karsha may consider asking the king Father abdicates early, so that you can ascend to the queen's position as soon as possible."
At this point, Tylos' face could no longer be held back.
He took a step and reminded loudly: "Your Highness, Prince Hittite, Erich is my Egyptian."
Kalsha immediately turned around and giggled, and said, "Yes, but you also said that you should depose her as the first princess."
"It was you who abolished your own princess, so don't let her continue to be your wife."
"Everyone, tell me, don't you?" Karsha deliberately turned his head, looking at the Lower Egyptians, Upper Egyptians, and envoys from various countries in the temple.
Everyone could understand his Egyptian language with a slight foreign accent. After hearing what he said, Pharaoh's entourage didn't think much of it, and the foreign envoys and Upper Egyptians all laughed.
Tilos gritted his neat teeth all of a sudden, anger almost went to his head, and jealousy continued to bite his heart—until Pharaoh's heart shuddered, it turned out that he was indeed jealous of.
Tilos immediately turned to Elyse.
Alixi stood aside and never spoke.
The pharaoh only took one look at her before he decided secretly: this shallow woman must be acting out of vanity, she is enjoying the flattery of foreign princes, and she has no self-consciousness of loving her homeland.
Ailixi seemed to understand this guess from the eyes of the Pharaoh, she smiled slightly, and turned to look at Karsha: "Your Highness, I am very grateful for your love - but I have one thing to explain: O'Neill is my true love." Girl, she is the princess of Egypt, I can't be separated from her, I will take her with me wherever I go."
Unexpectedly, Kalsha didn't even think about it, and blurted out: "I don't mind—"
"If you become the queen of Hittite, then Ohnai will be my Hittite princess, and I will treat her as my own daughter."
Delos felt that his face was almost swollen, but Karsha hadn't finished speaking.
The Hittite regent prince looked solemn, and said to Elyse: "When the princess grows up, as long as she has outstanding conduct and is competent, she can become my Hittite queen."
This sentence was so shocking that even Alicia was shocked, not to mention other people.
The Hittite prince was able to accept his daughter, who had no blood relationship with him at all, as the heir to the Hittite throne.
This generosity, or understanding, is simply heaven and earth compared with Delos, and it cannot be compared.
As a result, many people cast doubtful eyes, and even Alixi was a little dazed and couldn't believe it.
Kalsha immediately smiled and explained to her: "There is no doubt, I, Hittite, do not believe that the kingship of a country can only be transmitted through blood, and the most talented ruler always ascends to the throne."
"Ou Nai, I believe she will achieve something in the future, because she is your child and your blood."
Karsha said categorically, and at the same time knelt down on one knee in front of Elyse, and stretched out his hand to her, with attentive eyes, but at the same time, there was a kind of certainty——
He was sure that Elysee couldn't refuse his marriage proposal.Because the conditions he offered were so generous that no one in this world could refuse.
Tilos, who was listening on the sidelines, stepped forward, but found that he couldn't speak.
Compared with Karsha, he is a world away, and Erich is a fool to choose him.
Even though there were thousands of words in his heart that he wanted to redeem, it was so feeble to say them—after all, he couldn't do what Karsha could do.
In the final analysis, even if he had only one child in his life, Ounai, he could not regard the little princess as the heir to the throne of Egypt.
At this moment, Delos stood in front of Erich, opening his mouth in vain, wanting to speak but unable to speak at all.
He dug his heart and soul to think of something that made Delos stronger than Karsha, but in the end he only remembered one thing in vain——
Alixie, I have deeply... hated you since I was very young.
At this moment, all eyes were on Alicia's face.
Prince Hittite set out his terms, but Pharaoh didn't immediately ask to stay.The decision rests with Alicia.
Of course, most of the people gathered in the Temple of Amun were Egyptians, and they did not want their first princess to marry a Hittite.
People were nervous, scolding the Pharaoh for being useless, only knowing that being promiscuous but unable to keep the people around them, they were nervously staring at Elyse's face, hoping to guess something from her expression, look at this old pharaoh Will the first princess really break with the pharaoh and take the newborn little princess away from home.
Unexpectedly, Erich just turned her gaze away from Delos's face very calmly, looked at the right hand that Karsha extended to her, bent her knees slightly, nodded, and saluted gently.
"Your Highness, to be honest, I really appreciate your vision."
As soon as Alixi opened her mouth to reply, many people changed their faces.
On the contrary, Karlsha, the originally confident smile on his face was a little dimmed at the moment, as if he realized something from Ailixi's attitude.
Sure enough, Erich continued to say: "Unfortunately, leaving Pharaoh does not mean that I will choose to leave Egypt."
There seemed to be a slight humming sound in Karsha's ears. His face was hot and his skin was a little stiff, but he always warned himself to maintain his demeanor——
He realized that he, too, had done something that Elyse needed so much.
He gave Elyse a hard push, pushing the pharaoh even further.
However, as far as his original purpose-proposing marriage is concerned, it has completely failed.
Like the Egyptian pharaoh, he proposed marriage bravely, but asked for loneliness.
Sure enough, I heard Alicia softly say: "Thank you for your love, but you are one step too late, I have already married myself to Upper Egypt—"
"No longer the first princess of Pharaoh, I am still the envoy of God Amon."
"I will follow the will of the gods and stay here, in Thebes."
Alixie's words, like a drop of water, gradually entered the frying pan with no abnormal appearance, but the inside was tumbling and boiling, and it immediately caused a huge repercussions.
There was a burst of cheers that could almost blow off the roof in the Temple of Amon.
Every Thebes seemed to want to squeeze forward desperately, want to hug Elyse, want to kiss her feet.Fortunately, there are many attendants in the temple, which temporarily blocked them.
Erich accepted the overwhelming cheers, and suddenly noticed that Senmut took a step forward, approached her ear, and said softly: "Please pay attention, collect these respects—"
