Chapter 397: Cleopatra's Guide

"If you can really help us get things done, I can give it a try." Nero nodded, "As the direct bloodline of Caesar's ancestor as a link, if you can't summon the ancestor yet, I'm afraid that no amount of holy relics will be useful." ”

"Thank you, then."

Cleopatra's face was beaming with joy.

"But how can I trust you to do it out of sincerity to the ancestors, and not simply to use them?" Nero frowned and said, "What if your actual purpose is to manipulate the ancestors to realize the idea of conquering the world again?" ”

"I can swear by the name of the Pharaohs of Egypt that this will never happen." Cleopatra's expression became serious for a moment, "Miss Nero, although we say that we are meeting for the first time, please trust me. ”

"Whew...... Since you have sworn in the name of your ancestors, I will trust you for the time being......"

Nero's face softened slightly, and he nodded.

"Haha, then this is considered a cooperation, right?" Iskandar laughed heartily, "That's fine, leave the task or something until tomorrow morning, we are tired from coming to Egypt today, let's enjoy the customs here!" ”

“……”

I glanced at Iskandar a little speechlessly.

It's only been half an hour's journey, so where are you tired?

"Yes, as you wish, Your Excellency Alexander."

Cleopatra smiled contentedly, then clapped her hands and began to feast.

I have to say that this female pharaoh Joan of Arc is a veteran of enjoyment, and the opening of the banquet is simply lively and involuntarily immersed.

The table is full of delicacies, and the floor is full of beautiful dancers......

I understand why Julius Caesar, who is a Roman giant, is nostalgic for this, and the luxurious enjoyment and Cleopatra's unparalleled beauty are probably nothing more than heaven for men.

Nero and Iskander already liked to be lively, but now they were completely immersed in the atmosphere. Nero, in particular, felt like he had come to his own home.

"Alas...... These two guys ......"

I sat a little speechless, alone with the fruit on the table.

Sure enough, with my character, I can't adapt to such a hot occasion anyway.

"What's the matter, the visitor from Britain, is he feeling unwell? Do you need to take a break? ”

At this time, Cleopatra sat down beside me and asked with concern.

At such a close distance, her body exuded a burst of spices unique to Egypt, and there was a strange fragrance.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." I honestly replied, "I've felt your enthusiasm to the fullest, but I'm not used to crowded places." ”

"Oh, I see. That's right, Camelot must be a quiet place to recuperate, and it was my negligence to set up a banquet rashly. I'm going to stop the party. ”

But Lou Patra showed a sudden expression, and raised his arm to clap his hands.

"No, Your Majesty." I hurriedly stopped her movements, "I'm the only one who feels uncomfortable, everyone is having a good time." Wouldn't it be too disappointing to stop like this? You don't have to worry about me, I'll just go out and blow the wind. ”

During the banquet -

Iskandar was gulping down wine and telling the maid about his heroic deeds; Nero danced in the straight eyes of the dancers......

Yes, I'm just the outlier.

If it weren't for my mood, Cleopatra would have been able to enjoy it.

"Oh? Are you such a reasonable person? Cleopatra looked slightly surprised, but quickly nodded knowingly, "Well, then, as you say, let the feast continue." After all, it's your idea, and respecting the guest's opinion is the host's greatest courtesy. ”

"Thank you for your understanding." I breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and got up to leave, "Well, I'll go out and come back." ”

"Wait a minute, guest!" Cleopatra grabbed me by the shoulder.

Her fingers were slender and white, like fine works of art.

“…… This palace is very large, and it is easy to get lost if you leave it like this. Cleopatra looked at my puzzled face and smiled slightly, "So, I need to send a guide to follow you, just in case." ”

"No...... I'm not a child, but I can still do things to this level by remembering the way back......"

I couldn't laugh or cry, what the hell did Cleopatra think of me?

"The guide's job is not only to show you the way, but also to introduce you to various places in the palace along the way, so that you can have a deeper understanding of our Egyptian royal family." Cleopatra continued, "Guest, you have already rejected my banquet, so do you want to refuse my arrangement again?" ”

"Uh...... Then it's up to you......"

I nodded a little helplessly.

Cleopatra was right, it would be too impolite to refuse the host's invitation twice in a row. In addition, before coming to Egypt, Artoria was counted out by Artoria and did not know the history of the world, so it is good to take this opportunity to make up for it.

"Uh-huh, that's right, so I'm comfortable as a master!" Cleopatra grinned, and took the lead and walked forward, "Come on, let's sneak out before anyone finds out......"

"Huh?!"

I was stunned.

Could it be ...... Is this the guide that Cleopatra said she is!?

"Hurry up, guest! If you don't hurry up, you'll be discovered! ”

When Cleopatra saw that I was sitting still, she was so anxious that she took me by the hand and forcefully led me out of the banquet hall......

——

"Come on, guest, look at these pillars are very thick, right? They found a hundred of the most skilled architects in Egypt, and it took three days and three nights to complete it! Look at this door again...... The names of all the pharaohs since the founding of Egypt are engraved on it, can you feel the gaze of the pharaohs of the ages......"

Walking along the long road, Cleopatra kept pointing to the buildings on both sides, and told me with great interest.

I could only respond with a little embarrassment, trying to match her interest.

As for the question of why the Cleopatra herself was my guide, she gave an answer that I couldn't refute as soon as she came up.

"If anyone is most familiar with the palaces of the kingdom, it must be the king, right? Only Pharaoh is best qualified to introduce her home to visitors! ”

Because I didn't agree to her before, I can only accompany her like this.
