A true hero marries a man by his appearance [Comprehensive]

Eddie had heard "Moses" at least three times from the little girl named Nefertari.

You know, he only met this girl three or four times.

His ears could almost hear the cocoon. Although he was not interested in that Moses, but just hearing Nefertari's non-stop chanting, he knew everything he didn't want to know.

Originally, when Nefertari was sent home that time, Eddie's "next time" was obviously casual, and he didn't really plan to take the innocent young lady of the noble family to wander around in the future.

Even if it was really boring, he still didn't have time to take care of the kid.

However... Maybe Egypt is really against him, and the little ghosts in Egypt are also particularly clingy.

Meeting Nefertari again was another accident.

To him, it was an unexpected accident, but to that little girl, it was premeditated.

The taverns that Eddie goes to are usually very fixed, and he himself is a person who attracts attention wherever he goes. If someone is deliberately looking for it, he must definitely find one.

Therefore, when Eddie saw Nefertari holding the hand of the servant at home and smiling at him with a red face at the door of a familiar tavern one day, the expression that flashed across his face in an instant was only It can be described as "helpless".

——Of course, even if it is helpless, there is only a little bit.

It's true that he doesn't like trouble, but Nefertari seems to be pleasing to the eye, and he didn't sneak out alone in a disobedient manner, so he doesn't care.

"Where do you want to go today? Tell me, I just happen to be free."

"Ah! This... I think... I think, go to see the reeds!"

"Okay, let's go."

With the same movement, Nefertari was supported by his arm, turned her head, and went to the reeds she mentioned in a particularly leisurely and relaxed manner, leaving behind an extremely chic back.

The first time was to visit the street market at night, the second time was to go to the reed marshes near the city entrance, and the third time I went out of the city and took a boat to go rafting on the Nile River.

The fourth time it really went farther and farther, far beyond the scope of the capital.

Perhaps, influenced by Eddie's aura of being indifferent to everything, as if everything could be done, or simply being led astray, Nefertari became more and more courageous.

However, when Eddie asked her where she wanted to go this time, Nefertari still hesitated for a long time.

Where are you going?

In such a short period of time, they have traveled around Thebes, and even went to farther places-this was something that Nefertari could never have imagined before.

For her, it seems that as long as she can temporarily leave the shackles of the family and feel the freedom of the outside world, she is already very satisfied.

If you want more, if you want to be more self-willed, it will bring trouble to the adults who have always been so tolerant of her.Moreover, it is more like pushing an inch...

"It's just a place name, do you need to think about it for so long?"

Nefertari was startled, and raised her head in astonishment, and saw that the man she had been holding on to by the cloak was just looking forward, with a calm expression on his face, as if no matter what she said, he would take her there indifferently .

"I think……"

Received silent encouragement.Thanks to that, she is not a girl without ideas and ideas. On the contrary, some adventurous spirit is still buried in her bone marrow.

In fact, it was hidden in the bottom of my heart, but the thought that was carefully hidden finally broke through.

"Master Eddie, I want to go to the desert!"

It was very far away and very dangerous. Without this opportunity, it might become a distant place that she would never be able to touch in the future.

Nefertari said it anyway.She really wanted to go to the desert, really wanted to take a look, it was said that it was a completely different scene from what she had seen since she was a child.

Moreover, I heard that there is a kind of divine beast in the desert...

"Who told you? That Moses again?"

"No-no it's not Moses, it was-really!"

All in all, Eddie took Nefertari to the desert.

According to the normal speed, it would take several days at the fastest to go from the capital to the desert.

But Eddie never wastes time, after asking the approximate location, he will be able to go there soon.

It will take no more than two hours in total to go around in the desert and come back, so that Nefertari's sneaking out will not be discovered by her family.

Well, that's the plan.

But when I got to the place, I found out that I couldn't go there.

A village on the edge of the desert was attacked by a wayward sphinx. The whole village was almost buried under the yellow sand, but fortunately there were not many casualties.

It was because of this that Eddie temporarily sent Nefertari back, and then fell back.

Well, to be precise, when he was sending Nefertari home, he suddenly remembered that he had an apprentice, who seemed to have just been sent to the desert by himself to practice.

To trouble the sphinx, you can choose a cub as a gift for the little girl who is pleasing to the eye at the same time, and you can also check to see if the apprentice is still alive, killing two birds with one stone.

……

Okay, enough nonsense has been said before, let's bring the topic back.

That's probably the case. Due to family factors, Nefertari can only sneak out to play once in a while.

Among them, four times came to find Eddie, and several times they went to play with the kid named "Moses".

So, as many times as Eddie heard Moses' name, so many times did Moses hear Eddie's name.

As mentioned earlier, Moses has not returned to the palace for the past ten days, but stayed in the city like an ordinary shepherd.

He met Nefertari by the stream before, and after that, the two who became friends met and chatted at the old place after a few days.

Moses was really taken aback when he heard "Eddie" from Nefertari at first.

However, after he heard that Eddie had taken Nefertari to the desert and sent her back because of an accident, and she should still be in the desert now, the surprise on Moses' face slowly turned into a smile of apprehension.

"Lord Eddie, you really are a gentle and kind person." The boy was so emotional, and because of this, he got a puzzled look from the girl.

"Moses also knew the lord?"

"Yes." Moses said, "He is my foster brother's teacher, and I met him once."

His adoptive brother is in the desert now, and Moses immediately thought of many things, which is why he didn't worry about his adoptive brother at all when he met the princess afterwards.

"I'll go to the desert too, and after I find my foster brothers, I'll come back with them."

Moses said so to Nefertari.

"Huh, huh? Are you going too? It's so dangerous... No, if Lord Eddie is here, there must be no problem. Be careful on the road, and when you come back... let's meet again."

Nefertari was a little worried at first, but when she thought that Lord Eddie was also there, staying with Moses' brother-in-law, she immediately stopped worrying.

She made an appointment with Moses for the next meeting, and she confidently wished her good friend a smooth journey.

After a while, after Moses left, Nefertari realized something belatedly.

Eddie is the teacher of Prince Ozymandias, which is something everyone knows.

Moses just said that his adopted brother's teacher is Lord Eddie.

That.

That, that, that—that is!Moses is the brother of Prince Ozymandias! ! !

Nefertari: "...Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The unresponsive little girl fell into a great entanglement.

Once she was so entangled, she was entangled for more than ten days.

Prince Ozymandias returned to the capital, and the news that he had subdued the beast Sphinx spread throughout the capital. People all over the country were moved by the prince's bravery, and even more determined that the prince deserved to be the future Pharaoh, God avatar.

Even though Nefertari stayed at home, she heard about it. His father's almost unstoppable praise for His Royal Highness became Nefertari's daily accompaniment these days.

She hadn't realized that her father almost deliberately mentioned Prince Ozymandias in front of her.

Apart from the most basic admiration and admiration for Prince Ozymandias who can subdue the beast, what Nefertari thinks more is that the time agreed with Moses is coming.

I'm looking forward to hearing Moses tell what happened in the desert and how His Royal Highness subdued the beast.Ask again, if the sphinx cub that appeared under her bed overnight was sent by Lord Eddie...

Looking forward to it day and night, and finally looking forward to the agreed day.

Nefertari sneaked to the stream as usual, and when she arrived, the white-haired boy had already appeared by the stream.

Seeing him from a distance, the little girl couldn't help but smile.

However, just after she yelled, before Nefertari trotted to Moses' side, her voice suddenly paused.

"Moses—hey, who else is..."

Before the words were finished, another person who came to the stream with Moses turned his head in response.

It was a young man who was about the same age as them. His face hadn't completely lost its childishness, but he could teach everyone who saw him not to despise him. Those golden pupils that seemed to be authenticated were bathed in the night. It is also particularly imposing.

If it was the former Nefertari, who was caught off guard by such a pair of shocking eyes, she would definitely be frightened immediately.

But now she is different from before!

The main reason is that it has been honed by Lord Eddie. Although this young man's eyes are majestic, compared to that adult who also has golden pupils...

Wait wait, golden eyes? !

The boy who has not declared his family status (just turned his head, because he was too eager to see Nefertari’s face clearly): "It is absolutely not allowed to be loved by the teacher more than me——you think I want to say that Huh? Boring! But common people, show your true skills, whether you are good at running or wrestling... eh?!"

His Royal Highness, who was rumored to be brave, intelligent, and strong, actually choked the moment he turned his head.

In the imaginary picture of His Royal Highness, what he saw here should be a competitor—although he would not be more noble or mighty than him, but at least he should have a little bit of a competitor.

However, what he really saw was a pretty, trembling, weak girl nervously pinching the corner of her skirt and staring at him blankly.

At the girl's feet, there was a round thing.

Well, that's exactly a sphinx cub.

Ozymandias: "..."

Nefertari: "..."

"..."

"..."

"...Pfft! Hahahaha."

"Mo! Se! You! Again! Yes! Deliberately! Deliberately!"

Obviously, Ozymandias was deceived by the righteous brother who appeared from time to time with bad intentions.

He said that he didn't care about the unknown competitors who attracted the teacher's attention, and he felt the same in his heart. After all, with his identity, it was very difficult for anyone to catch his eyes.

However, there still seems to be a little bit of discomfort.

At this time, Moses saw the not-so-obvious annoyance of his adopted brother, and offered to take him to meet the "competitor".

"It's Nifei. It's just right. I can introduce her to you. Although it's a bit rash, I believe she won't mind."

Ozymandias: "Oh, Nephi. I'll remember the name for now."

He really didn't care that much—in fact, he followed Moses with a little care, all the way to a certain stream.

Then he realized he had been lied to.

Moses couldn't help laughing, but he had to seriously defend himself: "No, I just wanted to introduce the two of you. If you want to challenge Ni Fei, I will stand up and stop it without hesitation."

How could Nefertari not know who this strange young man was at this moment, and after a moment of embarrassment, she restrained her flustered emotions and tried to calm down: "Your Highness, please redeem... What are you talking about running and wrestling?" mean?"

Ozymandias: "..."

Completely speechless.

Is it possible to say - I regard you as a potential competitor, and today I came here specially to compete with you?

If, on the way here, Ozymandias was like a lion cub ready to go, then now, he is equivalent to a leak.

Otherwise, what else can he do, no matter how arrogant he is, he can't bully girls...

then.

The first meeting of Ozymandias, Moses, and Nefertari was such a rather oolong scene.

Ignoring the content of the misunderstanding, it didn't take long for these three teenagers who were also only in their teens to quickly become good friends.

Their friendship was born in a rather hidden place, unnoticed by anyone but the person involved.

Even Eddie didn't notice it at first.

He just noticed that some kid who came to harass him whenever he had time appeared less frequently.

Although he can still see it every day, Ozymandias will never give up on challenging him, as if he is not used to not being beaten.However, during the rest of the time after packing up, I seldom see that energetic kid again.

Eddie's attitude was as clear as ever.

——If you come to me, I will teach you and let you improve in actual combat.If you don't come, then I will be happy and relaxed.

He was bored in the palace, so he went outside to drink.

However, drinking too much slowly becomes meaningless.

One day, he remembered that he hadn't seen Nefertari again during this period of time. He promised her that he would take her to the desert to see the scenery, but he gave up halfway because of the attack on the village.

Now that he remembered it, Eddie decided to simply make up for the trip to the desert that he owed.

When he saw a little girl being led by a servant in the market next time, Eddie just brought up this topic.

However, unexpectedly, Nefertari gently took his hand, looked up at him, her eyes were full of expectation: "Can I not go to the desert today, go to a place I want to take you to?" ?”

"It's in the city, but it's very remote. It's a place we found by accident before...is that okay?"

Eddie raised his eyebrows slightly, noticing the "we" in Nefertari's words.

However, at this time, he didn't ask any further questions, and just said indifferently: "Okay."

Nefertari was very happy with his answer, and immediately led the way.

Eddie didn't pick her up again. The little girl who hadn't reached his waist walked lightly step by step. When she tentatively grabbed his hand before, she seemed a little cautious, but she didn't take it back now, and she seemed a little nervous.

Yes, nervous, because such an action will appear very intimate...

Nefertari was so nervous, she suddenly found that the man had already grasped her little hand in his palm.

By the way, he also mentioned her, so that she jumped over the stone in the middle of the road in time when she was distracted.

……

After walking around the city for more than half an hour, Nefertari finally led Eddie to the place she said.

It's hard to imagine that there is an extra vacant lot in the most corner of the civilian area.

Well, or a meadow.

Looking up, there are a few weeds growing beside the collapsed stone pillars scattered on the edge.

Eddie saw not only grass and stones, but also two people who surprised him a little.

"..."

One of them was his ineffective apprentice.

There is another one that is very unfamiliar, but it is not impossible to guess the identity.

The strange white-haired boy took the initiative to greet him: "Good afternoon, Lord Eddie, I'm Moses."

Eddie suddenly said: "Ah, I know."

The kid Nefertari keeps talking about every time, so he looks like this.

Well, it seems that this name has appeared in someone's mouth.

Who is it, maybe because it is not important, I can't remember it for a while...

Ozymandias: "Teacher! Don't pretend you didn't see me!"

No matter where he is, His Royal Highness will actively show his presence in front of the teacher.

...Although it is generally ignored.

Forget it, let's get into the topic quickly.

Eddie watched Ozymandias and Moses move out a rather large jar from behind the stone pillar. At first, he didn't think of what it was, but then, the lid of the jar tilted slightly, and he smelled a faint but mellow scent. aroma.

is wine.

Or a fruit wine made from some kind of fruit.

"Nifertari wants to thank you, this is the idea of ​​Moses." Ozymandias lifted the lid of the jar of wine, letting the richer aroma of the wine overflow, "Although it is only brewed at the fastest speed The wine that came out, but because of countless failures in the process - I tried to brew it myself, um, this jar of wine is naturally priceless!"

The prince who gave the explanation was so satisfied, obviously very satisfied with the fruits of his labor.

Eddie: "..."

There was a short silence, his eyes lingered on the face of the young man who was about to write "the wine brewed by the future Pharaoh is absolutely perfect" for a while, as if until now, he had to re-examine this arrogant The kid is average.

When did these three brats get together? There is no need to ask this meaningless question.

"Yo, it looks pretty good."

He touched the head of the little girl who seemed to be anxiously waiting for his evaluation, and nodded to Moses, who was meeting him for the first time.

"Fruit wine, I rarely drink it, but it's good to try."

He sat down by that section of stone pillar, took the jar in his hand, raised his head and drank it without looking inside.

Such a refreshing action made Ozymandias, who thought the teacher would dislike him (emphasis) because the wine he brewed was not good here, was not good there.

However, being stunned is just such an unimportant moment.

Ozymandias then smiled as expected, and asked proudly, "How is it?"

Nefertari sat on the stone pillar and tilted her head, waiting expectantly for the result.

Moses, who was much more mature than them, saw the expressions of the two little friends, and couldn't help chuckling.

Surrounded by teenagers and girls, Eddie took a sip of his wine and clicked his tongue.

"Well, the taste is not bad—"

tension.

"Not bad. Barely fits the bill."

call……

"As soon as you think about it being done by you, then I can say, 'Very good'." Eddie was not hesitant to praise.

Nefertari was very happy.

She felt that she had been taken care of by Lord Eddie a lot and always caused him trouble. It would be too bad if she couldn't express her gratitude in her own way and couldn't meet Lord Eddie's wishes.

Now it seems that these dozens of days of hard work have not been in vain, which is great.

Ozymandias was also very happy.

From the very beginning, it never occurred to him that it would not be to Eddie's liking to have his own drink, and that confidence must be sufficient.

What really made him happy was that this teacher, who was always picky and didn't seem to care about anything, actually approved the wine they made.

Uh, uh, although it should be taken for granted, but——this is a big improvement!

There is plenty of wine.

The rest of the time, Eddie sat there, slowly drinking the cider the kids had prepared as a surprise (or whim).

Moses and Ozymandias sat cross-legged on the grass, earnestly discussing what problems had arisen in this slightly chaotic winemaking process, and they wanted to sum up and do better next time.

Nefertari didn't stay with the boys. She wandered around the edge of the grass, as if looking for something, and came back after a while.

And when she came back, she was holding a bouquet of small flowers that had just been planted in her hand.

……

oops.

No matter how relaxed I am now, when I think back to these dozens of days of hard work, I still feel that it is not easy.

Because Ozymandias and Nefertari are not people who can do this kind of thing, Moses knows a little more.

After stumbling and failing countless times, the only jar of wine was brewed——

Why do you have to work so hard and be so persistent?

If you ask Nefertari, she will smile and say, of course it's the same reason, just to thank you.

If you ask Ozymandias, who claims to be just here to help, he will probably snort softly and say, take this opportunity to convince that arrogant teacher step by step.

The reasons seem to be different, but in fact, in their hearts, they still have that unanimous thought.

In the girl's eyes, that adult is very tolerant, very gentle, and has a temperament that makes people feel at ease.

Having had brief contact with him, I couldn't help but trust him, and I have always believed in him since then.

The more I get in touch with, the more I can feel that he is a very good and very different person.

However, the girl didn't think so when she saw the adult for the first time.

She was afraid of his gaze, and she didn't even dare to speak in front of him, because...

——His body seemed to be covered with a layer of ice that was isolated from others.

In the eyes of the boy, the teacher is a collection of arrogance and arrogance, and there is also a "powerful" that makes him angry and cannot be denied.

Ozymandias also remembered the gaze he met the man on the street that day.

it's too cold.

It's not "cold" in terms of temperature, but it means that the figure of this man seen at that moment gave people a sense of incompatibility and abruptness.

Although he was in such a noisy environment among the crowd, he seemed unable to blend in at all, and he didn't intend to blend in.

What came out of the golden eyes was "nothing", he didn't see anything in his eyes, let alone put it in his heart.

Perhaps, it was when Ozymandias saw such cold eyes that he developed the stubbornness to imprint his own shadow in the eyes of men.

for sure.

sure--

……

"……Oh!"

The girl who came over with the little flowers didn't pay attention for a while, and didn't find the stone hidden in the grass.

When he was about to reach Eddie, he screamed and was about to fall forward——

Her people didn't fall.

However, the little flowers in his hand flew out.

Scattered, all flew to the head of the man who stretched out a hand to catch her.

Eddie: "..."

When he turned his head, those flowers fell lightly along his eyes, and there were quite a few of them mixed in the silver hair draped over his shoulders.

"Woo! I'm sorry, woo..."

"...It's okay. Oh, the flower fell into the wine."

Moses, who was chatting with Ozymandias, was extra distracted.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Sure enough.

From the very beginning, he felt...

Well, I smell the aroma of wine with a little floral fragrance.

*****

Sour - dead.

The wine that has been fermented too much is really hard to drink.
