"Ah, I had some grapes brought, they were grown in my yard, and I picked them with my own hands." She beckoned, and a slave girl came in at the door with a small basket of fine weaving: "Lady Tasha, please take it and wash it, please taste it too, it may be a little overcooked, it seems to be crowded on the road, you should be careful when washing." ”

Tasha took it, smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go now, I'll wash it myself, and I promise that it won't be washed." ”

I looked at the important things in my hand, rolled them up one by one, and asked the guards to send them away.

Hordia stood beside me to help me sort and hand over the papers, and when there were only the two of us left in the pavilion for a while, she suddenly said, "Your Majesty, do you remember that little girl of the other race with blond hair?" ”

Carol?

I looked at her: "What's wrong with her?" Isn't the river festival going well? ”

Hordia smiled slightly: "Where, before the river festival, she ran away while people were not paying attention...... It is said that it seems to have fallen into the hands of the Bitados. ”

"Really?" I stared at her closely, "How do you know?" ”

She stood there, and said very clearly: "Because I told the Bitaidos about her, oh, Pharaoh was sad for a few days, and thought that she herself had returned to her place of origin......"

I sat there motionless, and Hordia stood two paces away from me, and I realized that I didn't know the skinny woman with only a handful of bones left. She wasn't the same person as the already vague Holdia I remembered. She had a smile on her face, and her eyes were cold and crazy, and the calm that she had just pretended to be was gone.

"The Bitaidos were glad because I told them that this girl, she knows a lot, that she came from the Nile, and she will return to the Nile. She is supposed to be the god of the river god and the darling of the gods. ”

"They believe?"

"Of course she knows, because she knows iron, then she will definitely know more."

I've thought about it for a long time...... But I didn't expect it to be her.

"I should have known it was you...... If there is no internal thief, there will be no external ghosts. That time I was kidnapped by Bittado, I'm afraid you were the hero behind the scenes, right? ”

"Yes, that's right." She admitted: "I also told them, even the outer guards were set up for them." But your Majesty, your luck is so good, that you have been in danger three times and twice, and you have been able to come back safe and sound. I really can't help but admire you. ”

"Then why are you telling me this now? Why don't you stop colluding with the Bittados to assassinate and kidnap them? Why are you saying this? ”

"Hmm, do you think Bitador won't come back?" Hordia looked at me: "Besides, even if the Bitados don't come, do I only know the Bitados?" She stared at me closely, a gaze that reminded me of a hungry wolf in the desert staring at its prey.

Why did she say that? The kind of fearlessness, lest I can't see the unrecognizable malice unscrupulously. What exactly does she want to do? Is she ...... What has been done?

"Your Majesty Isis, what is your most important thing, others don't know, but I do." She took a step closer to me: "Do you already know that the Babylonians are not in the city, they are running away without noticing...... Would you like to know where they are going? I guess, you've been so smart since you were a kid, you can guess what I told them and where they went, right? ”

I opened my eyes and looked at her: "You...... You're an Egyptian, too! What are you proud of doing these things that harm others and yourself? ”

"Yes, the things I did were vicious and sinister, and they didn't do me any good. But I am happy, I am glad, and you do not love Pharaoh, but he is bent on being with you! When my father found out what I was thinking, he immediately forced me to marry, did he treat me as a daughter? He just wants to keep his position, his reputation, his so-called loyalty and justice! ”

It occurred to me that I was, "You...... Did you let those Babylonians go to the temple of Karnak? ”

"Ah, the wise Queen sometimes guesses wrong!" She laughed presumptuously: "With so many men, they just went to Karnak, and could they hurt the brave and invincible Pharaoh's Majesty?" The last person in this world that I am likely to hurt is His Majesty Memphis! They went to the Valley of the Kings, hahaha, I know you buried Immorton there, and you went with the Scorpion King bracelet that everyone was fighting for. The Babylonians have coveted such legendary treasures for a long time......"

I slapped her in the face, and Hordia covered her face as she slammed into the pillars of the pavilion.

"Of course you don't care about the scorpion bracelet, but it's hard to say what will happen to your lover's body......" Her voice was like a curse: "I can't get love, you can't get it, no one can get ......"

Tasha came in with the washed grapes in her hand, and was stunned when she saw it. The plate in his hand fell to the ground,

"Drag her down, but don't let her die."

She was laughing all the time, bleeding from the corners of her mouth, her eyes were dark, and she stared at me deadly.

"Order the men and go to the Valley of the Kings right now! If you find the Babylonians...... I took a deep breath: "Dead or alive, let me capture them first!" ”

Unas answered, didn't ask anything, ordered the people and went straight out of the palace.

I'd love to go in person, but ...... No, you can't.

Tasha hesitated for a long time before she came over and said, "Your Majesty, let's eat......"

I knew she wanted to say more than that, but Tasha didn't dare to ask what Holdia had just said.

I felt like there was hot oil frying in my heart, and I don't know how it got dark, and there was no news outside.

For Holdia's betrayal and betrayal, I was surprisingly calm and had no feelings.

I'm just wondering, the Valley of the Kings doesn't have any decent military defenses, and the Babylonians are prepared, will they succeed? How is Immorton doing now.

"Tasha."

"Your Majesty, what do you command?"

I turned my head: "Do you know about Carol?" ”

"Ah, the girl left a letter saying that she was going back to her house...... "and she was gone before the day of the river festival." ”

It's not surprising that Tasha doesn't understand.

Bithaidos are scheming...... If Izmi is out and Hordia is the internal response, the kidnapping of ten Cairol will also be unaware.

How is the girl now?

I can't take care of her now......

I sat there, and there was no light in the dormitory, and it was getting darker and darker.

I felt that my chest was so hollow that I couldn't reach the top or the bottom, and my throat hurt badly every time I took a breath.

I don't know how long it took, but it was still dark, and I couldn't see the thick night of the stars and moon.

"Your Majesty......" Lumora said halfway and swallowed.

I turned to look at him.

"Don't be bored, just tell me any bad news."

"Yes......" It was very cold at night, but Lumora was sweating, I don't know if it was hot sweat and cold sweat, and his voice was not quite right.

"There's something going on in the Valley of the Kings."

"What's the matter?"

Lumora frothed at the mouth, and with great difficulty, continued: "Someone...... Robbery, robbery ......"

I knew the news before he knew it, but the result I wanted to know, Lumora couldn't say anything as if he were overly frightened.

I felt something was wrong, stood up and turned around.

Lumora is by no means unseen, how can the people around Memphis be such a coward? He usually does not frown the slaves who deal with crimes, and he is not a person who has never seen blood.

"Both...... They're all dead......" Lumora threw himself to his knees.

"Who?"

"They're all dead!" He would just repeat the phrase: "Everyone, all dead......"
