I missed the opportunity to say no.

The lights and candles in the main hall reflect the gilded copper plates and copper pillars, a golden light and shadow. Memphis spoke loudly, and I just sat back in a daze, holding up a feather fan and half-covering my face, and looked at him. Memphis's countenance was covered with a soft color of joy in the golden light, and it was evident that he was rejoicing from the bottom of his heart.

Someone greeted him with greetings, and someone came up to me to say auspicious blessings. I looked up and saw Idhombu standing there. He was talking to Sinuyah, and both of them were sideways, and I couldn't make out the expressions on their faces.

"What a pity, Your Majesty Isis."

I turned my head, and Ragsew stood beside me at some point, holding a wine glass in his hand: "It seems that I really don't have time to do anything, but I still want to bless you......"

I nodded slightly, and said lightly, "You are so polite, King Lagsui, I still want to thank you for your mislove." ”

"Then I borrow this glass of wine to wish you and the king of Egypt happiness and prosperity, and may Egypt grow stronger day by day."

"I hope ...... As you say. I picked up the glass in front of me and touched it with him.

There was a flaw in this man's gaze, maybe the news that Memphis announced was too sudden for him, maybe he had another plan in his heart that finally came to naught. When he looked at me, there was a gloomy and fierce look in his eyes. My heart tightened slightly, and the look in his eyes only flickered, and then changed to a gentle look.

This man is very good at disguise, but ...... No matter how good the disguise is, it is just a disguise, and there are flaws in the end, and it will always show its feet.

Almost everybody came up to congratulate me and Memphis, and their faces were genuinely joyful, and some were flattering. I felt the pain in both temples getting worse and worse, and the smile on my face was getting stiffer and stiffer.

I left the banquet first, and Memphis did not stop me, but instructed Lumorrah to be careful and escort me back to the bedchamber. But the glance he cast before I left was reluctant, uneasy, and a little weak in it. Of course, the most obvious is the joy.

I drank two glasses of wine at the banquet, and when I came out, I was blown by the cool breeze, and my head felt a little dizzy. Unas stood there with his hands on his feet, half of his face hidden in the shadows, and I called out to him in a low voice, and I did not hear my own voice in the wind or the music in the hall behind me.

Unas bowed, silent, but there was a cold and dark aura on his body.

Walking forward steadily, I watched through the curtain as Unas walked on the side of the chariot, and there was a clear sense of rejection in him.

I know why, but ......

I don't think I need to say anything to him about this matter. Besides, I don't want to talk either.

I felt so tired, I just wanted to close my eyes, think about nothing, and listen to nothing.

I'd rather never wake up from a long sleep.

What a long day it has been. In the morning, I was still on the sea boat looking at the continent where Egypt is located, listening to the sound of the rising tides. Then, I reunited with Memphis and went back to the palace together...... In the temple, in the flute left by Immorton, you can see the map of the Minoa Naval Harbor that he drew during his lifetime......

There is also the uninvited guest of the king of Babylon, Memphis is half-forced and half-lazy forced to marry, and the wordless loneliness and loss revealed by Unas......

I don't want to move, I don't want to talk, I don't want to worry about my responsibilities and obligations, I don't want to think about what I should say to everyone and what I have to do.

I'm tired, really tired.

When I got back to the dormitory, Tasha greeted me at the door, holding a soup to cure the hangover. Her smile was warm and kind, and I felt a sudden relief in my heart, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

Maybe it's only in front of Tasha that I don't have any pressure and can relax.

"Your Majesty Isis, the bath water is ready, you can soak for a while to relieve your fatigue."

I nodded, and Tasha led the clever slave girl to remove my makeup and jewelry with a thin cotton pad soaked in milk. When I took the earrings, Tasha did it herself, for fear that the slave girls would hurt me if they were clumsy.

I lay in the polished bath, the water up to my neck and shoulders.

Through the layers of curtains, I could hear the sound of slave girls walking outside, packing up their things and making bedding and ......

I leaned against the edge of the pool and let my body slide down into the water.

The water flooded the chin, lips, eyes......

I didn't have a roof in the water.

When I opened my eyes and looked up, the waves of water distorted everything.

Columns, frescoes, tapestries, brocade curtains, all kinds of precious and rare ornaments......

The pressure of the water was squeezing in from all directions, and the chest was tight, and the body felt heavy while floating.

I just held my breath and floated in the water, watching everything that was quiet, twisting and waving.

How arrogant and stupid are people......

I used to feel that the world was under my control, that I knew more than anyone else, that I was of high standing, that I had a pretty face and that I thought I was very wise...... I look down on the world......

I closed my eyes, and in the faint rattling of the water, it was as if I heard mockery.

I only know the vague outline of the world, but I don't know where my destiny will lead. I found myself so weak, so helpless, so ...... Overwhelmed.

With a throbbing pain in my chest, I threw my head back out of the water and took a deep breath.

Air rushes into the mouth and fills the lungs......

People often ignore something very important, just like this ordinary breath, and if you don't lose it, you can't appreciate its importance.

I thought I had a lot, but now I look back and find that my clenched hand is empty.

Nothing was caught. I leaned on the edge of the pool, raised my arms over my eyes, and wept uncontrollably.

I don't know how long it was, it seemed like it was a very short time, and it seemed like a long time had passed, when suddenly I heard Memphis's voice calling me: "Sister! Sister! ”

I turned my head in the water, and through the gauze curtain, I could vaguely see him striding closer: "Sister! ”

Tasha saluted him and stopped him: "Pharaoh, the queen is bathing, please sit in the outer hall and wait for a while, His Majesty Isis should come out now." ”

Xiao Man straightened his neck and shouted, "Sister! I have something to tell you! Come out! ”

What did he want to say to me?

I also have many questions in my mind, but ...... But I don't think the answer matters, the truth ...... It doesn't seem to make any sense.

Memphis shouted twice, and I slowly pulled the silk veil over one side and whispered, "I'm coming." ”

When I came out, he was sitting on a couch on the terrace with a cup of sherbet in his hand, and when he saw me come out, he hurriedly rolled over and sat up, and smiled at me with a flattering and happy smile.

"Sister, are you tired? Sit down and let's talk slowly. ”

I nodded, "I'm tired, but I'm not so tired that I'm delirious." Say it, I'm waiting for your explanation. ”

He gave way and I sat down on the couch. The papyrus mat has a light, dry scent. I've always been used to smelling it, but now I feel something unfamiliar.

"No, I'm not here to explain." "All I have to do is tell my sister that everything I say tonight is serious," Memphis said. ”

He doesn't speak loudly or quickly.

But I could hear his focus, his determination.

"Sister, Immorton is gone, you ...... Don't think about him anymore. Memphis grabbed my hand: "I will protect you and will make you happy!" ”
