Chapter 395: Get out of the car
"Divide or something...... It's too exaggerated......" I thought about it and shook my head, "Maybe everyone is a pharaoh in the first place, so it's a little familiar!" ”
"O performer! That's why you're so kind, and you think of people as simple and beautiful! Nero patted my thigh a little angrily, "You know, but not everyone is as kind as Sister Artoria!" ”
"If you think about it, when Iskandar offered to ride in a carriage with us, he even used a warning tone, but how did Cleopatra do it?" Nero lowered his voice, "She also just apologized indifferently and then changed the reason that both sides were pharaohs and let Iskandar get into her car!" In any case, she wants us to be separated from Iskander! ”
"Why did she do this...... Looks like we don't have a sin against her, right? ”
Hearing Nero say that, I also had to care.
"It's true that we didn't murder her, but we haven't been kind to her in the past." Nero sighed, "She separated Iskandar from us because she was worried that when the time came to attack us, she would accidentally injure Iskander." If Yu's expectations are right, even if we are in the palace later, she will arrange for us to sit separately from Iskander. ”
“……”
"Performer, Yu will say it bluntly, this trip to Egypt is only far from going as smooth as imagined, and I wonder if Cleopatra will really do something to us." Nero looked me in the eye seriously and said, "According to Yu's opinion, we might as well sneak away now...... Now Cleopatra is being dragged by Iskandar and has no spare energy to check our car. As for these ordinary guards outside, the rest of them can all be defeated, and then return to Rome as quickly as possible with the performers! ”
"No, we can't go now."
I shook my head.
"Performer! Now is not the time to be willful, if something happens to you, how can Yu explain to Sister Artoria......"
"But as you said, while Cleopatra has no reason to let us go, there's no need to do it to us now, is there?" I continued, "Besides, we are staying with Iskander, she has concerns no matter what, and she can't be unscrupulous in front of everyone. ”
"So, Virtuoso, you mean ......"
"Let's take a look at the situation first, it's really not too late to rush out." I decided, "Rome and Britain, if we don't go back for a long time, will definitely send people to help, so it's not a real desperate situation." ”
"Performer...... But seriously? Nero's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared at me for a long time before he said, "Yu has already clearly told Qing about the danger, but Qing still decided to risk his life?" ”
"Well, it's an opportunity, after all. I don't ask for anything else, even if it's just for Artoria, I have to give it my all! I nodded heavily, "It's you...... Nero, you didn't have to be involved in this troubled waters, but it's too late to go back now, so there's no need to accompany me......"
"Performer, where are these words! How can Yu also be the emperor of Rome, the king of a country, how can the words he say be like spilled milk, and he has no faith in his words? Nero shook his head decisively, "Don't worry, since Qing has the courage to face the predicament, Yu naturally can't lag behind!" No matter whether there is a mountain of swords or a sea of fire ahead, Yu will not frown and accompany Qing to the end! ”
"Haha...... How can it be so serious, maybe it will end without danger......"
——
We talked and laughed and soon arrived at the palace.
"Two adults, please get out of the car!"
One of the guards stepped forward to open the car door, and the other was lying on all fours, apparently intending to let us step on his back!
“…… Go down, we'll get out of the car ourselves. ”
My brow furrowed.
Although I understand the importance of following the local customs, I can't do such a thing as trampling people who are equal to us under my feet.
"Well, while Rome is tolerant enough to accept the cultures and customs of the world, anything like this is still avoided." Nero also nodded, and helped me out, "If you don't respect others, even the guards, you can't expect to be respected by others!" ”
"This ...... Please also cooperate with the two of you, this is our Egyptian custom, if you don't step on my back, I will definitely be punished by Her Majesty for sneering the ...... of the guests."
The guard, who was lying on the ground, looked up at us with a complicated expression.
Probably the first time I've seen someone like me and Nero who refused to step on his back.
"How can this be true? Do you even blatantly take the bad habit of trampling on human nature as a stereotype? Nero suddenly shouted angrily, "Call your queen!" Yu has to tell her personally! ”
"What's the matter? Distinguished guests, why do you have such a big fire? At this time, Cleopatra came with Iskandar, "Is there anything about my guards who have neglected the two?" I'm going to punish them badly!" Please don't have a bad impression of us in Egypt because of this, and I will do my best to make amends for you later. ”
"Her Majesty spares ...... life"
The two guards turned pale with fright, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Enough Cleopatra, there is nothing wrong with these two loyal guards, but I should ask you why you are so proud of trampling on the dignity of others?" Nero frowned and rebuked.
“…… Where does this begin? Cleopatra raised an eyebrow.
Nero ...... You dissipate your anger first and say a few words. Seeing that the situation was not good, I quickly took Nero's hand, and then looked at Cleopatra and smiled slightly, "Your Majesty Pharaoh...... Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that we're not used to stepping on people's bodies to get out of the car and want to get down by ourselves, and these two guards also stick to their duties. Please be accommodating and let us get off the bus ourselves. ”
"I see, I know what you want." Cleopatra nodded and smiled, "Earlier, this is easy to solve." ”
"So...... Your Majesty, Pharaoh, you ......"
There was a glimmer of hope in my heart.
"Well, it's very easy to solve, as long as you kill these two guards." Cleopatra shrugged his shoulders in disapproval.
"What...... What the!? "I was so shocked that I almost jumped out of my seat.
"Because...... This is our custom in Egypt, where the high-ranking people get off the car on the backs of the low-ranking attendants, which is the rule set by the original pharaohs, and even I have to follow the teachings of the ancestors. Cleopatra looked embarrassed, "So as long as they live, you must step on his back, or they will die." ”
