Memphis said, Sister Wang, what kind of thing is time? Is the god Ramon also in charge of this wonderful time?
I don't know, Memphis. This is also an unsolvable puzzle for me.
He said, "Sister, I went to the world of Carroll, a world three thousand years later. I don't know here and there, where it's true and where it's false.
I also asked him, what about Carol? Is it because of her that your wounds can be healed? She swore to love you with her life, why is you the only one coming back now?
He was silent, and later said, "Sister, I used to think that I was Pharaoh, and everything in the world should be mine, as long as I want to have it." But...... Now I know that there are many things that I don't want to get. Carole, me and I, we are people of two worlds. β
Memphis, who loved Carol, said such a thing, which really surprised me and made me feel distressed.
I never asked a question about Carole again.
The news of Memphis's return caused an uproar in Egypt. Too many people think that Pharaoh is long dead, that no one is alive or dead, and that many people think that I murdered Memphis. But now he stood alive in front of everyone again.
Re-drawing the eyebrows and drawing the eyeliner, putting on the crown of gold hair, armbands and necklaces, anklets, putting on the royal robe and picking up the scepter, Memphis stood in front of me, both familiar and strange.
"Sister Wang, you have worked very hard in the past two years, right?"
I smiled and straightened out the hair ornament and crown for him. To be honest, I looked at his short hair style so kindly. If I could, I really wanted him to wear that shirt and trousers again, to comfort my lonely heart that had been away from modern civilization for too long.
Memphis turned around and walked slowly, step by step, to the throne that belonged to him in the front hall, which had been vacant for a long time.
Towards his own world.
Immorton came up to me and whispered, "This should be a happy thing, don't be sad." β
I gently wiped the water from the corners of my eyes and looked up at him: "Immorton, why do we have to pay so much for growth?" β
"Pharaoh is an adult, you don't need to worry anymore."
Seeing Memphis walk far away, and finally disappear, Immorton and I went nowhere and did nothing, just sat there and talked. The sun was up, and it didn't seem cool under the date palm trees, but we didn't bother to move, and we talked as if we were talking to each other, and answering the question.
"Memphis is back, but Carole is still in her time, and I don't know what happened between her and Memphis, they ...... Still in love? β
"It's time for you to learn to let go, I just want you to be happy."
"Immorton, shall we go on a trip together? Just the two of us, go everywhere we want. β
"The legend of the Scorpion King may be true, but so what, I will never trade everything I have, including my soul, for the power of nothingness, as the curse says."
"Shall we go to Minoa?" I said, "I lost you there, and I lost the people who escorted me to Minea." I swore to avenge them......"
"You should stay away from killing, that blood will accumulate there, and you will be more and more unhappy."
"Immorton, how many children are we going to adopt in the future? Do you like boys or girls? I like boys, and it's best to have a child as energetic as Memphis when he was a child, and I want to discipline him well, but he can't have a bad temper like Memphis. β
"Pharaoh should now accept the prostration of his courtiers, right?"
The two of them were still talking more and more speculatively, and Immorton held one of my hands tightly, and his hand was dry and strong. Maybe my body temperature warmed him, maybe he wasn't so cold in the first place.
I'd rather I just hold his hand and stay like this. Or just let time stop here and let the moment freeze into eternity.
Finally I said, "I must go to Minoa." β
He replied peacefully: "Okay, I'll go with you." β
I suddenly remembered something that everyone had ignored for a long time, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and turned my head and asked, "Immorton, I still seem to be the princess of Memphis?" When he wasn't there, everyone didn't mention it, but now that he's back, does that marriage still count? β
Immorton turned his head sharply to look at me, his gaze a little vicious, different from his usual calm and steady.
"Hey, that, hmm......"
In fact, when people who love each other are together, kissing is more meaningful than talking.
My mind was a muddy mess, the sun shining through the leaves and the stars shattered, and the heat of the sun made my limbs feel weak. But the heat of the sun stays on the surface of my skin, and Immorton's kiss seems to make my body burn.
When he finally let go of me, I gasped for breath and heard him say:
"Okay, let's go together."
I asked blankly, "Where to go?" β
"As you just said, let's go to Minoa together."
This person...... Is there a narrow light in his eyes that I can't see?
"Actually, I've already done it, so why bother us if we want to make Minoa look good? There is a saying in the East that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, so I asked people to directly draw a few copies of the naval defense map of Minoa and give it to the good neighbors of Minoa. Minoa used to be the dominant power on the seas, but now? Hey, even their caravans don't dare to travel anymore. β
Immorton was stunned for a moment: "Really? β
"Well," I said, "yes, I don't know how Andos is doing." He's a good friend, but I don't think he's in that underground labyrinth and no one can hurt him. β
"No, I know, at least one." Immorton said.
I was stunned for a moment: "You mean the Queen Mother?" β
The Queen Mother of Minoa, the mother of King Minos and Andos.
She's an amazing woman. Although she had people kill Immorton, it's strange that I don't hate her. After all, Immorton stole the map of the Holy Island for me, for Egypt, and for her to preserve the country ruled by her son.
It's not about who is wrong and who is right, it's just that everyone stands on different standpoints.
In a way, I even admire her, she is a very strong and courageous woman.
I rested on Imorton's shoulder, the sky blue and clear, so clear that I couldn't look at it directly.
"I ...... I think I'll be back. "I don't think I'll ever be able to let go of everything in Egypt, and I really want to protect Mephis.
I hope he can be happy.
"Where you are, I must be there."
I told Memphis that I was going to go to Minoa again. He thought for a moment: "Let's wait until I'm familiar with the current government affairs." β
I nodded: "That's natural." β
"I'm coming back." He spoke very slowly, word by word very clearly, and each word was accented.
"Definitely." I stroked his head. Memphis's previous black hair was very flowing, which added a lot of style to him. But I just look at his head now.
This is the homesickness buried in the bottom of my heart, looking at his modern head shape, it is really difficult to restrain myself from reaching out to touch it.
"Minoa hasn't been very peaceful lately, has it?"
"Well, the Mitannis, the Bittados, and the surrounding small island nations are all looking for a chance to bite it, but to swallow it, I'm afraid those countries don't have that appetite yet." However, although the Mitanni were given a map of the warships of the Holy Island, it is said that their two sneak attacks were unsuccessful, but the Minoans were on guard, and most of the warships were transferred back to Minoa Island to anchor for defense.
Memphis was distracted with his glass, and the food on his plate didn't move.
"Memphis?"
He came back to his senses and stroked his short hair: "Sister Wang......"
"If there is anything difficult, say it and we will discuss it together, it is better than you thinking about it in a daze."
He smiled, revealing his snow-white teeth, as handsome as ever. No, it's more heroic than ever.
"Then, Sister Wang, you teach me, how to defeat Immorton and win your heart?"
I was stunned, picked up the spoon in my hand and threw it at him.
Memphis laughed and pushed away from her chair.
That's not what he was thinking, but ......
He just didn't want to say it.
Memphis has also become an adult with secrets, and he will no longer ask me for advice, should I be relieved, or should I be disappointed?
The slave girls took their meals down, and Memphis sat down and asked in a low voice, "Sister, what was the process and result of the coup d'Γ©tat launched by Sinuye?" β
I froze for a moment and turned my head.
Memphis's eyes were as dark as the night sky, deep and quiet.
I've always been reluctant to be talked about it.
Because, in the midst of that turmoil, I lost so much.
