Chapter 113: Powder Cake

There was no progress on the first day of the meeting, which is also expected, of course, such a meeting cannot be so easy, how can it be concluded without a few rounds, today everyone is just showing their attitude and making demands.

As usual, there were still banquets in the evenings, this time in the way that Chinese food and Kemert habits coexisted, with different freshness and step-by-step habits, and we opened up a new era but did not intend to destroy all traditions, this is Menes' message to the Holy City.

Also, the high priest doesn't know how to use chopsticks.

At the banquet, Shanghai Mo called Menes a son-in-law, took Menes' hand and chatted around, and became a family relationship with Andyère seriously, cordially and friendly, lest the world not know that Menes was his son-in-law, completely ignoring the fact that Yunia had not agreed.

Queen Lily has also restrained a lot after what happened last time, and no longer flirts with Menes in public, but intentionally or unintentionally, she will still get close to Menes, and occasionally say something that is not, and interesting stories about Menes.

Menes became the focus of contention, which is very Menice!

Today's final meal was brought up by four big men, Menes' latest cream cake!

The level of production of fermented bread by the Kemerts is really not flattering, and the technique of refining cream is even worse, so this kind of cream cake is the first time that it has appeared in the kingdom of the River Valley.

The distinguished guests at the main table had already smelled the sweet smell, Menes got up to untie the lid, and the surrounding guests praised in unison, while the guests at the main table looked at Menes thoughtfully.

This is a cake of the Kemert kingdom, surrounded by scattered vassal states and other powers.

Menes smiled and picked up the knife, handed it to the High Priest of the Holy City with both hands, and said, "Honorable High Priest Amenhopt, Oracle of the Gods, the greatest magician of our kingdom, and the Blessed One of Rights, please divide the cake for everyone!"

The high priest rubbed his fingers, he didn't take Menes's knife for a long time, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his gloomy face, and he said slowly, "This is the land of the gods, only the gods can have the right to divide it, and the gods are not allowed to divide the land of this valley!"

Menes suddenly smiled and said, "Honorable High Priest, you are serious, this is just a piece of cake, for everyone's fun, how can the kingdom of Kemert be divided by a few of us mortals? Kemert must be whole, Kemert belongs to His Majesty Pharaoh and the gods, this is just a cake, we just share that little bit of grease." ”

"The cake belongs to His Majesty the Pharaoh, His Majesty the God-Calowe, who has royal blood!" said Hemmer.

"Of course, the Prime Minister is right, the cake belongs to the de jure heir with royal blood, and no outsiders are allowed to touch it!" said the Lily Queen leisurely.

"Of course, outsiders are not allowed to touch it, Ramses XII is the orthodox pharaoh, absolutely inviolable, and the princess has no inheritance!" Hemmer roared.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister must not have exclusive power, and all power must be given to His Majesty Pharaoh!" retorted Queen Lily.

"The Prime Minister is the arm of His Majesty Pharaoh, acting in the power of Pharaoh. Hemmer explained.

"Acting on his own rights, attacking his sister on his behalf, encroaching on his sister's territory and attempting to murder his own sister?"

"Treason is not punishable, and the Prime Minister will crack down on all criminals who endanger the unity of the country and defy His Majesty Pharaoh!"

"Defying the Pharaoh, when did the Prime Minister face His Majesty?"

The table in the banquet hall has become a negotiating table, and Menes smiles, he just wants to turn the restaurant into a conference hall for the guests to participate in the negotiations.

The surrounding VIPs quickly consciously stood on their own side.

"Cleopatra, your actions are rebellion, and rebellion must be punished severely!"

"Severe punishment? Okay, Prime Minister, I see how you punish him severely, Lily Harbor is still in my hands, do you want to fail again? King David's army seems to be on the border recently, right?"

"Well, so what? King David is still my ally!" said Hemmer dismissively.

"Hahaha...... Your daughter, your daughter, is a god assist, and now that King David is my ally, prepare as soon as possible, Lord Hemer!" Cleopatra laughed loudly.

"You...... You actually colluded with the alien race to invade the kingdom of Kemert?" said Haimer in shock.

"Have you forgotten that you colluded with the aliens and promised them equal status?" said Cleopatra, throwing out a piece of paper.

"Enough! You are despising the gods, the kingdom of Kemmert is the kingdom of the gods, how can you let the gods of a foreign country be defiled?" the high priest interrupted the dog-eat-dog between the two.

"The kingdom of the gods brooks no foreign races, and the dignity of the pharaoh is inalienable!" said the high priest clearly.

Menes already had a clear plan in his heart, and the distribution of the interests of the snobbery in the four directions was basically in his heart, in fact, the main thing was to solve the temple opinion of the high priest's representative, as long as the high priest and Menes could stand aside, this matter would be easy to discuss.

Menes had confirmed with the High Priest before the start of the four-party talks that as long as the temple received wealth, all the taxes due to the territory must be paid in full, and the temple wanted more land wealth this time, which was originally quite difficult to discuss, because neither Queen Lily nor Hemer would agree to the additional temple offerings, Menes did not agree before, and Menes was actually the vanguard against the Holy City before the Battle of the City of the Dead, and was not on the right path with the Holy City.

It's just that after the incident in the City of the Dead, Menes found that the Holy City was still very useful, and now there is a Heavenly Source Holy Sect, which is everyone's biggest enemy, and Menes now accounts for a small proportion of land income in her wealth, so it doesn't matter if you give a little more, so Menes quickly reached an agreement with the High Priest, Menes took the lead in handing over the land wealth, forcing Queen Lily and Hemmer to agree, so that the High Priest supported Menes's plan.

The High Priest has now made it clear that Ramses XII is the only legitimate pharaoh and that the kingdom will not be allowed to be divided!

As soon as the high priest said this, Hemmer immediately became proud.

His Majesty Pharaoh's dignity is inalienable, and this sentence is exquisite, dignity is inalienable, but rights can be shared, and this is Menes' last chance for Cleopatra.

"The dignity of the pharaoh is inalienable, and Ramses XII is the only earthly messenger blessed by the gods!" said Cleopatra with a blushing face and a contemplative face.

"Pharaoh's sister must return to the palace!" Hemmer demanded.

Menes picked up the knife and cut off several important states and counties in the delta, put them on a plate, handed them to Cleopatra, and said, "Please enjoy the lily queen!"

Then he pushed all the remaining states and counties of the Kemert Kingdom, including Menes' own two territories, to the side of Hemer and said, "Please enjoy it for you first!"

All the people present were confused, the delta was normal for the Lily Queen, and it was originally in the hands of others, but Menes actually pushed her territory to Haimer, is Menes sure that she wants to throw herself into the arms of Haimer?

Before everyone could react, Menes cut out his two more lands and said, "Honorable Prime Minister, this is a dowry that you have given to my wife on behalf of His Majesty Pharaoh, for which I am deeply grateful!"

The people around couldn't help but laugh, and the originally serious things were made funny by Menes.

Menes scraped off all the cream from the cake again amid the laughter around her, and respectfully sent it to the high priest and said, "Present the sweetest of the Kemert Kingdom to the gods!"

Apparently Hemmer was very dissatisfied with this way of distribution, and he did not gain anything for a long time, except to get a nominal orthodox pharaoh? Do you need to admit this? And also give oil and water to the Holy City?

As soon as Hemmer wanted to go crazy, he saw Menes cut a piece of the cake in front of Cleopatra and gave it to you, and Hemmer said, "Our merciful and just pharaoh will bestow on my sister Cleopatra the title of Queen Lily, and give the three states and counties of the delta to the Queen of Lilies as fiefs. ”

"Will the Queen of Lilies accept the gift of the Pharaoh?" asked Menes.

The Lily Queen held back her anger, looked at Menes and finally nodded with difficulty and said, "I am the Lily Queen!"

"Lord Hemer, can you confirm His Majesty's will?" Menes asked.

Hemmer looked at the two domains that had been divided among him and reluctantly agreed to give him the title of Queen Lily.

This is expected by Menes, Queen Lily was forced to accept this fact, at present she is already the weakest of the four snobbery, without Menes' support she will definitely lose, now can get the clear approval of the Pharaoh, at least to ensure peace in the short term, although the loss of two states and counties, but as long as Lily Harbor is in her own hands, there is a chance to turn over.

Hemer's side got Queen Lily's request to give up the title of pharaoh, and got two additional territories, which can be regarded as a gain, the only loss is the increase in the supply to the holy city, but there is no way, since Menes and the holy city have reached an agreement, they are powerless to fight, and they also need to recuperate, and the states and counties under their own governance are not all so obedient.

The Holy City has nothing to lose, and more wealth is the biggest winner.

Menes also lost a lot of taxes, but Menes needed peace, time, and the dilemma of being caught in it, as long as there was enough peace in time, Menes could create the impossible.

In the end, Menes smiled and cut off the kingdom of Noa and said, "This cake is not baked well, it is a little burnt, I should eat it reluctantly, everyone, is the name of Prince Noa still good?"

"It should be called Governor Noa, Governor of the Kingdom of Kemert, Governor of Menes!" corrected Hemer.

"Cheers to Governor Menes, toast to Queen Lily, toast to His Majesty Pharaoh, toast to the gods!" said the High Priestess.

Everyone in the room raised their glasses.

The banquet ended in the clinking of glasses, of course, there are still many details to be confirmed, and the meeting will continue in the next few days, the exchange of prisoners of war, the issue of trade on the Nunn River, the time of withdrawal of troops from both sides, the time of the delivery of property, the procedures for the transfer of territory, and so on!
