Augustus Road
Chapter 10: Renewed Covenant (Part 2)
Caesarion, who took the sword, kept shaking his wrist, causing the blade to swing back and forth in front of Lepidus. Everyone else on the scene was stunned and stunned, but no one dared to run or move or shout anything. These people don't know what their prince will do? Should he pierce the sword angrily into the chest of the high priest, or turn to do something else.
After a long time, Lepidus suddenly said, "Caesarion!"
"Yes, guardian!" Caesarion, the child, almost dropped his sword on the ground and shouted instinctively.
Then the high priest laughed. He gently pressed the child's young shoulders with his big hands, squatted down and said kindly to him, "Don't always learn the bow and arrow skills that the Egyptians are proud of in the future. It will only cultivate the child." For those cowards who don't dare to confront and judge directly, I will arrange for you an excellent sword-fighting centurion. You must learn to fight face-to-face in everything, so that you can complement each other with archery." Then, he said, are you willing? Twisting the tip of the dagger in Caesarion's hand with his fingers, he asked gently, "Have you ever killed anyone with a bow and arrow?"
Under the light, Caesarion shook his head and said that he had only shot animals in the royal forest. Lepidus remained silent and slowly turned Caesarion's sword blade with his fingers, holding his back with the other hand. Back, "It's okay kid, you will be nervous when you kill someone for the first time, but since you will have to kill people sooner or later, it is better to use this instead of using a bow and arrow that can't see the pain of the deceased." Then, the high priest glanced around, and the slaves immediately Crouching down even lower, he finally locked onto the talkative old eunuch and suddenly said to Caesarion. "Most of your servants are young. As I said just now, they don't dare to gossip about your mother, because they all want to live a good life - but, it's hard to talk about someone who is about to die. For example, this gloomy old guy has only one or two years left to live. Before he dies, he always wants to use his own words to reveal a big event. In this way, no matter how humble he was during his lifetime, only in this way will he feel. Your life has not been in vain. This kind of pitiful and terrible **** can easily dominate such an incomplete person, so what you have to do is to go over and stab him to death first, which is also considered as a gift to others. The servant sets an example." After speaking, Lepidus patted Caesarion's back and shoulders gently, "Go, my child."
The old eunuch was so frightened that he leaned against the foot of the pillar. His already withered body shrank into a ball, and he suddenly screamed. He crawled over and kissed Caesarion's feet wildly, crying, telling him how loyal he had always been.
"A truly loyal person will not refuse the death given to him by his master!" Lepidah stood behind and reminded loudly.
Caesarion finally shouted, and slashed the old eunuch's ribs with his sword. It was obvious that his body was injured, but he could still roll over on the floor, stretching out his hands stiffly, whining and struggling every move. With.
"Although the old guy looks very thin, his bones and skin are very hard, which makes them look like they are wearing leather armor compared to young people. So they stabbed into his neck." The high priest and guardian continued. After a reminder, when the other people saw this situation, they were so frightened that they swallowed their sobs and could only tremble and tremble.
There was another long muffled sound, and Caesarion slowly and neatly plunged the sword into the old eunuch's neck, just like a child of the same age happily playing with a unicorn.
The high priest quickly applauded. He approached the child, took back the bloody sword in his hand, then pointed with his finger and asked Caesarion to look at the body and then look at the reactions of the slaves around him. Caesarion felt unprecedented pleasure.
"Now you have to believe what the guardian said, that is, your mother and I have nothing to do with each other. We are just representatives of two countries and have made the most normal negotiations. Now everything is safe. From now on, you will be Egypt's representative." The king of the country, and the regent mother happily commanded all the creatures in the entire Nile in the palace of Ibos. I will always be your strong backing. If anyone dares to disrespect you in the future, or if you want to kill anyone, just Do it boldly - I promised your mother before, and I will definitely fulfill the oath I made." The high priest lowered his body, said these words to the child quietly and calmly, and then inserted the sword upside down. He put it in the Greek-style scabbard hanging on his waist, and then left. On the steps of the temple, Matthias and Alp were welcoming him, "The affairs with Egypt have been negotiated. I will spend the night in the military camp tonight." "The high priest stepped down the stairs and quickly gave them instructions.
Caesarion, whose breathing was still uneven, wiped the blood from his hands on the hem of his clothes, pointed at the old eunuch's body to his servants, "Clean him out." Then he walked through the colonnade. Walking down the aisle, he came to the curtain, opened it and walked in. He saw his gorgeous mother, half-opening her beautiful eyes, lying sideways on the rattan couch, holding a small gold leaf fan in her hand. His snow-white legs were exposed sideways, and the bells on his ankles were tinkling in the night wind. Charmion was half-naked, lying directly on his side on the blanket on the floor. He was also half-conscious from an overdose. The state was as if they had just experienced a celebratory dance class of Dionysus.
The room was filled with the strong smell of cannabis leaves and ointment. Caesarion saw this scene and smelled the smell very familiar, "My son, you are here, come to your mother's arms quickly." Cleopatra When Terra saw her child, she hurriedly opened her arms and embraced Caesarion in her arms.
"Mother, did you see my guardian leaving here just now?"
After Cleopatra heard this question, she fell on the couch and said with a slight breath, "Yes, he went out after discussing the matter. Egypt will be temporarily stable in the future, so Charmion and I are just having fun here."
"Can I trust his word?"
"Yes... of course." Queen Marie tried not to look thoughtful, stroking the child's back and replied.
About two market days later, after receiving the necessary "start-up funds", Rufio's three legions followed the guidance of the high priest's guard, boarding the ships provided by Upper Egypt, or by themselves. The land route along the coast headed towards Cyrene.
Previously, on the stream in front of the Temple of Serapis, Lepidus was riding a horse at one end and watching the carriages of Queen Elizabeth and her son leaving at the other end. He then said to Matthias, "Although some things are not true, But I can’t help those who talk.”
Mattia couldn't help sweating as he recalled the previous scene. He hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Now I have made accurate calculations. Egypt's fleet, grain and money are all in place. The immediate conquest of the Republicans will be very serious." Good luck!" (To be continued...)
