One thing Ambassador Katha said is right, the king of Sathya is indeed young and handsome.

He didn't look much older than Ella, in his early twenties at most.

Like most Sathya men, this unusually young king has black hair shaved to an inch, his facial features are sharp and resolute, and there is a kind of vigor in his handsomeness, which makes him difficult to get along with at first glance.

The complexion of the nobles in Sathya is lighter than that of the common people, and this king is no exception. It looks like bread baked with honey, and the plump and healthy wheat color is enough to move any tan lover.

He is wearing a sleeveless gown that is tight at the top and loose at the bottom. The length of the gown reaches the calf and is cut off. The pleated top is tightly attached to his body. His waist is tied with a golden belt inlaid with lapis lazuli, and the contours of his abdominal muscles can be seen faintly.From under the light fine linen cloth, and a snake-shaped armband on his exposed arm, the muscles are more solid and powerful, making it impossible to ignore his strength.

This king does not wear a lot of accessories like other people, except for a ring on the arm ring and finger that should be a seal, he only wears a wide collar necklace on his chest that is very representative of his identity——It is the kind most commonly worn by ancient Egyptians seen by modern people. Various gemstones are polished into small cylindrical beads, and then closely strung together in rows according to different sizes, colors and textures, and the final combination is separated by gold in the middle.It can be turned into a large collar that can cover the entire shoulder and even most of the chest.

——This kind of distinctive jewelry has become a special impression of ancient Egyptians in modern times, but at this banquet, she only saw King Shadia wearing a wide collar, which is obviously still a royal right and statussymbol of.

Different from the seats of the guests below, King Sathya's seat is not just a cushion, but a low couch with a height of only about ten centimeters to the ground is placed on the steps. There are backrests on three sides of the low couch.Leaning, the two long legs are flat and bent, relaxed and at ease.

Different from his wanton posture, his eyes were dark and dark, and there was a lot of malice in his undisguised sizing and scrutiny, and he shot straight at the person who was looking at him.

Aila felt that compared to the big guy lying beside her, King Sathya, who exuded a dangerous aura above him, was more like a brutal beast ready to choose someone to eat.

She immediately lowered her head and stopped looking at him, but even so, Ella could feel that the other's eyes hadn't moved away.

The atmosphere of the banquet became a little dignified after the king came. Aila listened to the king Sathya above who continued to speak, and the person who was talking was the Kata mission. The ambassador and others had already walked out of their seats to the middle to formallyShe paid her respects to King Sathya, so she also acted with other people, and she did what others did.

What made her feel relieved was that they still practiced the previous kind of clasped fists and chest salutes without needing to kneel—in fact, she didn’t really reject the question of kneeling, who didn’t kowtow to their ancestors when they went to the grave, sheIt is absolutely possible to regard the king above as an ancestor. After all, if she was put in her time, she would be at least a thousand or two thousand years old, so it would be enough to be honored as an old ancestor every now and then.

Of course, Ella didn't regard this place as the earth. Although Shadia was very similar to the ancient Egypt she knew, their differences were also very obvious. She preferred that this place was just a somewhat similar different world.

When Ella's thoughts went astray, Ambassador Kata first praised the greatness of King Sathya in accordance with the tradition, and after the touting was over, he went on to explain the purpose of the mission.

In fact, he didn’t need to say too much. King Kata had already written a letter and sent someone to send it to Sathya first. The entire upper echelons of Sathia knew the purpose of the mission’s arrival, and now it was just a formality.

Kata sent a request for peace, and Sathya readily agreed, accepted their tribute, entertained the mission for a few days, and sent them away.

This is the established process.

The ambassador worried that Sathya would anger Kata because of the escape of the princess and affect the peace, but in fact Sathya had plans to withdraw troops.

The high priest of the temple issued an oracle saying that the flooding time of their mother god river, the Inlula River, would probably be earlier this year. They had to harvest the mature wheat before the river flooded, so naturally they did not have extra troops to fight.

The early flooding of the Inlula River often means that there may be problems with the water source in Sathya in the coming year. Therefore, in order to ensure water use in the coming year, they need to build more canals and lakes during the flood season to increase water storage.

There are not enough manpower, so how can we continue to fight.

Now that the Kata people came to ask for peace, Sathya naturally agreed with the trend. As the winner, Sathya not only got a lot of tributes for nothing, but also made a lot of demands. No matter how you look at it, they earned it.

The matter of Princess Kata is nothing more than a trivial matter, and it will not affect the peaceful coexistence between the two parties when they sign a document. The reason why they sent someone to help the princess is that the young king did it casually, just to see how Kata envoyThe group looked terrified.

At this time, the moody king just listened to the ambassador's words in boredom, and seemed not interested in the summation in his words.

When the waiter took the letter of credence from the ambassador and presented it to him, he just raised his eyes lazily, with no intention of looking at it.

"The princess you lost has been found?"

It was not the death they reported, but running away, and the Kata people immediately understood that what they had been trying to hide was not hidden at all.

At this moment, the lion who had been lying on the ground opened its golden eyes and looked towards them.

The lies were debunked, and the ferocious lions around them salivated. The Kata people, who had always been nervous, seemed to have seen the god of death beckoning to them at this moment.

Only Ella, who could not understand the language, followed the lion's gaze and turned her head secretly, and found that a team of palace attendants passed by carrying food and preparing to serve their master with drinks and delicacies.

After the initial panic, the ambassador quickly calmed down, and he bent down again, with a more respectful attitude than before: "I'm sorry, the great King Sathya, it was the negligence of the maid that caused the princess to accidentally get lost when she was out on a trip, Our poor princess came to Sathya for the first time, she is not familiar with the place, and I don’t know what kind of terrible situation she encountered... We can only pray for her in our hearts."

The ambassador also followed suit. King Sathya said that the princess was lost, so he insisted that it was lost. This was an accident, and no one wanted it.

And he also implicitly pushed the cause of the princess' accident to the local security in Sathia. If it wasn't for the poor security in Sathia, the princess would not have disappeared.

Upon hearing this, King Sathya only looked at the ambassador with a half-smile, and only let him go after the latter was about to break out in cold sweat, and did not pursue the matter any further.

But obviously he is not going to discuss peace talks with Qatar now.

He raised his glass: "Today's banquet is for you, enjoy it."

There was a lion lying next to them, how could they enjoy it.

"Honorable King Sathya, a great hero should be accompanied by beauties. Our poor princess does not have the honor to serve a great hero king like you, but please give others a chance."

After the ambassador's words fell, the nobles in the banquet hall turned their attention to the only three women in the team.

Immediately afterwards, a female nobleman sneered unceremoniously: "Our Majesty is indeed the King of Heroes, but what you Kata sent may not be worthy of the title of beauty."

Another nobleman followed suit and said: "Your Majesty's harem has countless beautiful concubines, and many of them are princesses sent from other countries. They are all beautiful and noble. How can the so-called beauties of your Kata be more beautiful than you?"Can you get them?"

"Oh, if that princess hadn't been lost, she might still be eligible to enter His Majesty's palace. Others, I'm afraid they can only be sent in as slaves."

Sathya is a monogamous country, and men and women are equal in marriage. Even the nobles must abide by this marriage law-they can only marry one wife and cannot take concubines, but if there are many female slaves, as long as the wifeNo one will care if you don't raise an objection.

But only the king is a polygamous exception.

The harem of the Sathya kings of all dynasties was one queen and multiple concubines, and at most there could even be hundreds of concubines. According to the customs of the Sathya royal family, if you want to be a princess, except for the noble daughters of your own country, only the princesses of other countriesThis kind of identity can be directly conferred, and the two noble ladies sent by Kata obviously do not have this qualification, unless they can get the king's favor and become concubines.

But it is too much to say that they are slave girls.

Listening to the ridicule of the Sathya nobles, the two noble girls showed humiliation.

When they were at home, they also grew up pampered and spoiled. How could the two of them have been so angry, especially when they were ridiculed in front of so many people.

After listening to their more and more impolite words, the plump girl couldn't hold back for a while, and suddenly grabbed Ella beside her: "Princess, we have one here, she is bigger than the lotus on the bank of the Inlula River.Be pure, holier than the moon in the sky, there is no one more beautiful than her!"

Ella, who was secretly looking at the lion boredly, had no idea that she had become the focus of everyone, and was suddenly grabbed by the girl beside her, and she didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. What the girl grabbed was the hem of her veil in a moment of excitement, the strength was still a bit strong, and he directly grabbed the veil that wrapped her face.

Under the candlelight that filled the room, the beauty as bright and bright as the moonlight was reflected in everyone's eyes.
