80
It got dark, and I slept most of the afternoon, so now I'm in good spirits.
In ordinary people's homes, the sun rises and the sun sets. But in a place like the aristocratic royal court, the night is actually just the beginning. In the area of ancient Rome, where civilization is still very backward, their aristocracy became a typical worm life in the later period, getting up every day at dark, partying, feasting, singing and dancing,*, and tossing until the morning to sleep.
My experience is that every time it gets dark, the guards have to tighten all their nerves and be on high alert, knowing that the danger in the dark is a hundred times higher than in the daytime. For example, if Memphis was bitten by a snake released by the Beater Assassins, it would not be impossible for everyone to detect a few snakes during the day, even if they were very hidden.
At night......
I am reminded of an old saying of ours, it is really a night when the moon is dark and the wind is high.
The sky had changed this afternoon, and now it was thick with clouds, no stars and no moon, and if it weren't for the lights, it would have been a smear of darkness.
If you want to make a name for yourself, this is really suitable.
I sat down at my desk and flipped through a collection of songs by the poets of Bitado that Mura had found for me, but there were only words and no songs, and I could feel a little bit of the true meaning of the music between the lines.
Suddenly, a little wind blew in, and I raised my hand to protect the light and looked up.
A figure stepped out from behind the tabernacle, its movements as light as a shadow, and it didn't make a sound.
"Unas." My voice was low: "You're not being discovered, are you?" β
"No, Your Majesty." "But I didn't get a chance to get in until now," he said. β
"Is there any news from the other side of the sea?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
He knelt down in front of me, his eyes still obscured by deep bangs, and only the lower half of his face could be seen, which should have been coated with some disfiguring herbs or something, and it looked dull and dull, and it was difficult to find ordinary ones thrown into the pile, and he untied a small straw basket from his waist and handed it to me.
I reached out and took it, but before I could open it, I could already feel what was inside, and I was in ecstasy, and hurriedly opened the basket.
A small golden head was revealed, and the little golden-red eyes flashed like small gems, and the red letter was swallowed, and almost in the blink of an eye, it was tightly wrapped around my wrist, and it was so tight that it hurt a little.
"Kim!"
I was pleasantly surprised.
Because of the venom for Memphis, Kim was very weak, and of course it wasn't with me when I was kidnapped, and it was sleeping in my bed. I was thinking, if Jin was here, I wouldn't be so slow to the approaching danger.
"Are you well?"
It nodded slightly at me.
"I've been thinking about you, it's great that you've recovered." I leaned my lips over and kissed it gently on its little head.
Xiao Jin's head shook violently a few times, as if it was greatly stimulated, and then with a soft snap, it fell on my wrist again.
Little guy, are you still ashamed?
I turned my head to look at Unas: "You have worked hard, it is very dangerous here, the maid of Bittado will come every quarter of an hour, you go quickly, protecting yourself is the most important thing now." I paused: "By the way, who sent Xiaojin?" This guy is very recognizable. β
If I hadn't pressed it at the beginning, it wouldn't have even bought Memphis's account. I'm amazed that people can bring it to me now.
"Tomorrow, maybe in two days, you'll see him, he's here as a Minoa priest......"
I was stunned: "Immorton? β
Yes, that's him.
Except for me and him, Kim doesn't listen to anyone else. Only he can bring Kim here and hand it over to me......
"What about ......" I calmed down and my voice returned to indifference: "What about others?" β
"He is now at the banquet of the nobles of Bittado, since he is an envoy as a priest, the priests and dignitaries of Bittado will naturally entertain him."
I listened to the movement outside: "You go firstβbe careful." β
He whispered, "Yes," and he leaned over and gently pulled the corner of my skirt and kissed me, "You must also take care, I have heard about what happened during the day today, and your situation is very dangerous." β
I smiled slightly: "I am not afraid, God is with me, and I will definitely return to Egypt safe and sound." β
Unas retreated silently.
This child's origins must be more than just a slave.
But what does it matter, as long as he is loyal and capable, his origin is not really the most important thing.
I can't read the book anymore, the poems and songs that are more than Tai, where is the richness and wonder of Egypt?
I stood up and walked to the window, which was covered with a bronze fence thicker than my thumb. Izmi worked hard enough, and his own dwelling was like a prison, and it seemed that these fences had been installed for at least ten years, and they were not temporarily installed for me. Or perhaps...... This is not where Izmi used to live, but only where he chose to live temporarily...... It's also possible.
Immorton is coming? I'm in the mood to digest the news carefully now.
I slowly raised my hand to my chest and felt my heart beat much faster than usual.
Immorton is also in the city now? Is it even in this palace? He......
He's here to save me?
Well, he's an acquaintance. If he doesn't dare to come, I will definitely give him another sword when I go back.
By the way, I don't know what happened to Mephis.
The night was still dark and the wind was still tight.
But I feel very comfortable stretching.
I smiled slightly, my fingertips gently rubbing the little gold on my wrist. The convulsive shivering it had just had passed, and it seemed comfortable now. I whispered to the side of its little head, "Wait and see, my dear, the palace of Bittado is about to come alive." β
Suddenly there was a voice from the palace people outside the door: "Queen Isis, King Bittado is here." β
When I turned around, the door had been pushed open in both directions, and the bearded King Beatudor strode in, his face full of wine.
