"Sneaking into the palace?" Julian thought for a while: "Usually it is easy to enter the palace, but the Minoans are very proud and feel that no one can hit their island, so there is no palace wall at all, only some guards patrolling sporadically." But now it may be more strict, after all, something happened ......"
"You said you could do it." I cut off his words.
"Your Majesty Isis, it's not that you can't do it, but in your capacity, you shouldn't put yourself at risk." Julian boldly said: "It's already very risky for you to come here, and once the Minoa Navy arrives, it is still unknown whether we can safely leave the island." It's really ...... to go back to the palace."
"If Your Majesty can be trusted, let me go." Unas said in a deep voice, "Even if it costs with my life, I will definitely fulfill your orders."
"This, I thought, I should do it myself." I smiled and looked at the sea: "I understand what you are saying, although we are here as the messengers of the king of Egypt, if Minoa quietly expels us and sends a message to Memphis that we have been killed by the Mikenny in the chaos, it will kill two birds with one stone, and it will not only eliminate our uneasiness but also plant the root of Egypt's hatred for Mikenny." Of course, Memphis is not stupid and may not believe it. Even if they don't, they can change their narrative and say that we have gone on a boat, but the ship has hit a reef and sunk, etc...... I can think of a bunch of these reasons at any time. It is because of my willfulness that so many people came to Minoa with me and encountered the current situation. Medical Officer Kadanya has always been very worried, I know, he has always been afraid that he will not heal the King of Minoa and we will all be guilty. Unas was also worried, because since I came to Minoa, I had left everyone on my own several times...... Julian, you're also worried that your nails scattered in Minoa will be caught by the Minoa soldiers searching for the Mikenny...... The situation was already very bad, so it didn't make much difference if I stayed in the post house or went to the palace. I think that with my swordsmanship and the little gold in hand, even if the Queen Mother of Minoa wants to attack us, it will not be a problem for me to escape alone. So...... Don't persuade me anymore......"
Julian and Unas were speechless, and then Julian said, "Yes, I'll arrange it." ”
Unas said, "I'll go with you." ”
His tone was unusually firm, as he always did.
I nodded, "Of course, you're going with me." ”
Before dark, we were within the confines of the Minoa Palace.
Julian found a palace maid's clothes and a guard's clothes, and he himself made a palace slave's dress.
"Naturally, I will also protect Your Majesty and go with me."
When Julian, who was chubby and always looked like a businessman who was angry and made money, said this, there was an awe-inspiring resoluteness on his face.
I smiled slightly: "Okay, then let's go together." ”
He also smiled and patted the small basket on his waist gently: "If you encounter someone who doesn't have long eyes and is in trouble, I will ask my babies to give him some color." ”
Julian and I are somewhat similar in this regard. I raise Xiaojin, and he raises scorpions.
However, Xiao Jin does not necessarily die if he bites, but his scorpion is not saved if he bites.
I understand what he means, but if there is real danger, it is not a few scorpions that can solve the problem.
Looking at the royal palace in Minoa, I always have the illusion of being in the middle of Greek architecture. But of course I know, not here.
"The Queen Mother's bedroom is that one." Julian's intelligence work was not done in vain, and he whispered: "It is the usual habit of the Queen Mother not to return to the palace during the day, but she has been seeing her courtiers, taking care of government affairs, and taking care of the King of Minoa, and then going to the temple once in the morning and once in the afternoon, and taking a nap in the garden at noon in several small palaces like pavilions." After dinner, he would still go to the residence of the king of Minoa and would not return to his dormitory until it was time to go to bed. Although something so serious has happened now, her routine should not change much.
"So she's going to dine now, right?"
"Hmm." The place where Julian brought us in, not far from where the food was prepared. From afar, I watched several palace maids leave the house with food in their hands and march towards the palace complex. We took advantage of the darkness and quietly followed them. On the way, he evaded three patrols by guards. Fortunately, the three of us are not bad, and Julian has probably been doing this kind of intelligence work for a long time, and he has little presence in the dark. The breathing is also low, and there is no sound at all when walking. Even the feeling that sometimes you can feel the heat of your body when you are close to a person is almost impossible to feel in him. I don't know if it's because of his long-term work that he has developed his current habits and state, or because he was born like this, so he is particularly suitable for intelligence work.
The ladies entered the palace with plates full of food, and we hid against the wall by the shadows of the flowers and trees, and bent down and hid under the window.
You can hear someone talking in the window: "Okay, put the food down, you guys go out." Then he instructed: "Tell the guards to be on strict guard, step up the investigation, now is an extraordinary time, do not let the spies into the palace to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble." ”
Be on guard? We've gotten in.
But the owner of this voice ...... Who will it be? It doesn't feel like the Queen Mother.
I typed on the back of Julian's hand and asked, "Who is this man who is speaking?" ”
He replied by scribbling on the back of my hand: "It's Mrs. Mona, the head of internal affairs next to the Queen Mother." ”
It may sound like a shrewd woman, but was the food given to the King of Minoa or to the Queen Mother of Minoa? Or did they both eat together in this temple?
"Alright, you bring the food in, Fleur, you go and invite the Queen Mother to come over for dinner."
My heart is pounding, Queen Mother.
Was she the one who killed Immorton?
