Chapter 313 The Queen Who Ruled Five City-States

On the second day after marrying Nafer, Roy took Andromeda and left Itawi City by boat with a feeling of returning home.

Two days later.

Roy's ship sailed from the Nile River into the Mediterranean Sea, and then came to the port of Pharos.

Bringing Andromeda to the city of Fallows, Roy was surprised to see Aries, the governor of Fallows, personally training the soldiers here.

What surprised Roy even more was that there were [-] more brown-skinned slaves building roads in Faros City.

Although most Egyptians have brown skin, in northern Egypt, because there are a large number of mixed races of West Asians, Egyptians and West Asians, the skin color of northern Egyptians is closer to that of West Asians.

It is obviously abnormal to see three thousand brown-skinned young men in Northern Egypt.

"His Majesty!"

While Roy was observing the slaves, Aries found Roy and Andromeda, and immediately left the soldiers who were training and ran to Roy, saying as if to take credit.

"Are you observing those slaves? They are the Libyans who attacked the city of Pharos. After I defeated them with the Athenian soldiers, I turned them all into slaves for building roads."

"It turned out to be a Libyan!"

To the west of the Egyptian region is the Libyan region.

Indigenous people living in Libya are Libyans.

Three thousand and six hundred years later, Libya was once the most developed country in Africa because of its rich natural resources.

But in the era 600 years ago, neither the Egyptians nor the Phoenicians were interested in ruling Libya because resources such as oil and natural gas could not be turned into wealth.

Libyans with a backward civilization live a life similar to nomads, and often wage wars against Egypt, which is rich in food.

Losing his curiosity about the slave, Roy immediately said to Aries.

"Aries, I'm going back to Athens now. I came to Pharos to tell you that I've married Queen Nafer of Egypt. In the future, our Kingdom of Athens can buy food from the Kingdom of Egypt ruled by Nafer."

Upon hearing the good news, Aries looked at Andromeda happily and said.

"Your Majesty is really amazing. He not only managed the Hyksos Princess Andromeda, but also the Egyptian Queen. In the future, we can directly buy food from the Egyptians, because Princess Andromeda is His Majesty. Women beside me, the Hyksos navy will not hinder our grain ships."

Roy nodded and said.

"Theoretically speaking, the Hyksos really don't dare to stop our grain ship. If the Hyksos navy stops us, you can threaten them with Andromeda, saying that I will kill Andromeda." Lomeda in retaliation."

"Your Majesty's threat to the Hyksos should not be serious!"

"If the Hyksos don't care if Andromeda lives or dies, I don't mind giving Andromeda's head to Cepheus."

Seeing that Aries was so frightened that his smile disappeared, Roy reached out and patted Aries on the shoulder and said.

"Aries! After I leave, Pharos City, Buto City, Sais City, and Atribis City, these four cities belonging to the Kingdom of Athens with a population of more than [-] people, will be temporarily handed over to you to manage .Your main task is to implement the policies of the Kingdom of Athens, so that the land and population of this ten thousand square kilometers are no different from the Kingdom of Athens.”

After listening to Roy's words, Aries knelt down on the ground with frightened legs.

"Your Majesty, are you serious? Even your father-in-law, Lord Pandion, was only appointed by you as the governor of Corinth. Now you let me be the governor of the four city-states. I really dare not. I beg you to change someone."

Even if Aries is a short-sighted young man, he knows that Roy's appointment is in great danger, so he refuses Roy's appointment without hesitation.

Roy smiled with satisfaction.

"Then give some guidance to the consuls of Buto City, Sais City, and Atribis City, and don't let them make trouble."

After Roy took Andromeda out of the port of Fallows City by boat, the two stood at the stern of the boat looking at the city of Fallows, and Andromeda couldn't help asking curiously.

"Your Majesty, did you really want General Baiyang to become the governor of the four cities just now?"

Roy said immediately.

"Even if he is my own brother, I wouldn't give him such great power. I was just testing his ambition just now. I will hand over the post of Governor of the Four Cities to someone else."

"That's more than 1 square kilometers—one-third of the territory and half of the population of the Kingdom of Athens. Who is the person you trust so much?"

Roy turned around, looked at Crete and said.

"You will find out soon. If you hadn't betrayed me, I originally wanted you to be the Governor of the Four Cities."

Andromeda lowered her head and said.

"Sorry! I shouldn't have betrayed your trust."

Five days later.

When the fresh water in the cabin was about to run out, Roy's boat finally arrived at Donia City.

While the crew went ashore to replenish fresh water, Roy brought Andromeda to the palace in Donia.

Palace hall.

Pandora, who was sitting on the throne, saw Roy and Andromeda walking in, and teased with a playful smile on her face.

"The number of women around you really increases every time. When will your greed be filled?"

Roy walked to Pandora's side and sat on her throne, then put her in his arms and said.

"She is Andromeda, daughter of Cepheus, king of the Hyksos. She was once my own woman, but she has now been made a slave by me for betraying my trust."

After explaining Andromeda's identity to Pandora, Roy smiled awkwardly.

"But you are right. There is indeed an extra woman by my side. Her name is Nafir. She was originally the sister of the Egyptian pharaoh Kamose, and now she is the queen of the Egyptians."

Seeing the hesitant expression on Roy's face, Pandora said with a smile.

"Just say what you have to say!"

"Pandora—"

Roy took a deep breath and said.

"The main purpose of my coming to you is to hope that you can go to Egypt and manage the cities of Pharos, Bhutuo, Sais and Atribis in the west of the Nile Delta for me. In return, I can let You become the patron saint of Faros City."

After hearing what Roy said, Pandora's eyes lit up immediately.

She is now only the queen of Donia City, becoming the governor of the four cities of Roy, she is the queen who rules the five city-states.

Then she asked with some doubts.

"Since the Egyptian queen Nafir is your woman, why don't you let her manage these four cities instead of you?"

"Because she is the Queen of the Kingdom of Egypt, not the Queen of the Kingdom of Athens."

Roy said with a serious expression.

"The policy implemented by the Kingdom of Athens is completely different from the policy of the Kingdom of Egypt. When the Kingdom of Egypt solves the Hyksos, it may be the time when the Kingdom of Athens and the Kingdom of Egypt break out of war."

"I see!"

Pandora suddenly said.

"In order to rule Egypt with the policies of the Kingdom of Athens, you have long had the idea of ​​​​destroying the Kingdom of Egypt. The Egyptian queen named Nafer must not know that it is none other than you and her who will make her the queen of subjugation in the future. married husband."
