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

The marriage between Ozymandias and Nefertari should have been decided by adults a long time ago, but they were not told in advance.

The reason is actually very simple.Nefertari is the daughter of a hereditary nobleman in Upper Egypt. With this prominent background that can lay the foundation for the new dynasty established by the Lower Egyptian regime, she and Ozymandias, who will become the pharaoh It is a pair of "made in heaven and earth".

It's not that they didn't think about letting the two young people cultivate their relationship in advance-Ozymandias' father Seti actually thought of it a long time ago, and Nefertari's parents also intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the relationship between the two young people. Promising prince.

The original plan was to let them meet when Ozymandias arrived.Before long, the wedding should also enter the stage of preparation.

In this era, it is considered a relatively late marriage age.Still, for a prince fresh out of the army and some terrible lord, it's about right.

The adults have made good plans, and seeing that the time is almost ripe, they can bring their unmarried children to meet——

Bad news.

That's the only way to describe it.

It was Nefertari who had the accident.No one expected that Nefertari would almost lose her life because of a very special accident.

Even if he survived fortunately in the end, his body was seriously damaged, and he needed to spend a lot of time at home to recuperate his body, and he had to be careful even blowing the wind outside.

Among them, the "accident" is related to the above-mentioned adult... Only a few people know about it.On the contrary, the vision called the "miracle" lasted for ten days, and it was really announced by Pharaoh as a miracle.

It can only be concealed, not publicized, let alone, as the elders of the parties who have been kept in the dark for several years, go to the "culprit" to settle accounts - who has the courage to find it?

That man had been in Egypt for five years. Except for Ozymandias and the others, only Seti could communicate with him normally. The others always kept him at a respectful distance.

Obviously he didn't do anything to be feared by others, what was considered out of line was teaching Nefertari strange spells without authorization, but the fear left from the first impression seemed to be rooted in his heart and could not be easily pulled out.

It seems that even Pharaoh adhered to the principle of laissez-faire and on the sidelines, so it was even more impossible for others to intervene, so he had to keep his complaints in his heart.

This is also an important reason why Eddie indirectly prevented Nefertari from marrying Ozymandias as scheduled, and ran away from the family's house openly, but has not been kicked out.

In fact, Ozymandias didn't know for so long that the reason why he and Nefertari were going to get engaged was also here with Eddie.

Every time Seti wanted to mention this matter to him, as soon as the conversation started, His Royal Highness, who was absent-minded, disappeared on the grounds that he was going to find a teacher for training soon. There was really no way.

"My marriage with Ozymandias..."

Withdrawing her thoughts, the girl sitting in the sun whispered softly, and there seemed to be an indistinct melancholy in her voice.

Of course, she smiled at Eddie the next moment and said, "It's all my fault. I don't know how long it will be delayed. However, His Royal Highness should be relieved when he finds out."

"It doesn't matter what Ozzy's reaction is."

Eddie raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, and still landed on the top of Nefertari's head, stroking the girl's soft brown hair.

"I only know that that kid is still very naive, and he doesn't have that kind of thought for you. And you will not be happy in the future."

His words were too sudden and too direct.It was so direct that Nefertari couldn't help being stunned, and then a blush that was poked into her mind appeared on her face.

"…………Hey?"

"You and Moses. Don't hide it, it's too obvious that I can't see it-well, let's not talk, it's what it is anyway."

As soon as he heard this, he knew that although Eddie had a keen intuition, it was during a battle or when his EQ went online occasionally.Most of the time, he is eclectic, and he doesn't pay attention to small details such as delicate girlish feelings.

So, after discovering that Nefertari was suddenly blushing and almost speechless, Eddie only frowned, paused, and then spoke.

It's still what I said to Nefertari before.This time, it is emphasis.

"Didn't I say that you are the little girl I rarely like. As for your birthday present, I will only give you the one that makes you the most happy, and it is also the one you want the most."

"It doesn't matter where you're going, or wanting something, or a more daring desire."

"Master Eddie, I..."

Nefertari broke away from the shock, and for a moment, she didn't know what she was going to say.

The man's deep voice was very calm, and he didn't seem to be talking at all——for most people, it seemed like a fantasy, or something that people couldn't imagine, let alone put into practice.

"What does it matter. You have always been a bolder girl than many, Nefertari."

He stroked her hair again.

The calm voice reached Nefertari's ears, like a falling rock falling into a deep pool, not only ripples, but also deafening echoes.

However, Nefertari quickly recovered.

She understands the meaning of Eddie's words better than anyone else, but she is also most aware of another fact——

"Boldness" may be reflected in the things she did quietly to break the confinement one after another.

But the truth is not like this.

She wasn't really that brave.Because the force that drove her out of the familiar soil surrounded by her parents and family originally came from others.

It started with Moses.

Moses was Nefertari's first friend. She wanted to see him and the vast world he described to herself, so she mustered up the courage to take a difficult step outside.

Immediately afterwards, it was the adult who was still standing in front of her encouraging her.

Nefertari couldn't help thinking that if she hadn't met Eddie, she would definitely not be what she is today.

so good.In this world, there really is something more dazzling than the sun.

Such a person is destined to receive countless gazes of awe or admiration, and is also destined to use his own light to attract people who are walking in the dark to approach him.

Although there is no guarantee that we will be able to get so close, after all, men are also advancing, but...

No matter what, you have to work hard, run hard to that side, thinking that the closer you are, the better.

If you don't work hard or be brave, you will be left behind in a short time... The courage that keeps growing in your heart comes from this.

Of course, not everyone who was attracted to this man was for that reason—it was just because she was.

From another perspective, this can be regarded as her willfulness.

and so.

Once you know the result, you can no longer continue.

Eddie waited for a long time, but he didn't get Nefertari's answer.

However, he was in no hurry.

Little girl, when you encounter such troublesome things, you have to think more about them—although from his point of view, there is nothing to think about such things at all, just say what you really want.

Moreover, he is also very confident-of course, he has confidence in himself.

Isn't it just bringing together two like-minded young people?He has never been exposed to this kind of thing before, and he is not in the mood to meddle in such nosy matters.

This time, on a whim, he could sacrifice the happiness of his silly apprentice—happiness, that kid never liked anyone, so he wouldn't force himself to get together with Nefertari.

Maybe when Ozymandias gets his senses, he will fall in love with the lively and beautiful Nefertari... Well, who knows.

Anyway, after a little weighing, Eddie made this decision.

Compared with willfulness, no one can compare to him who has made up his mind.After all, he doesn't think about such messy things as countries and politics. There is only one starting point.

So, having waited so long, what about Nefertari's answer?

"..."

"Yeah--the gift I want most at this moment. I've thought about it, Lord Eddie."

"Well, tell me, what do you want?"

Eddie cheered up and listened with the idea that the result would not exceed his imagination.

Then, he saw the girl wink at him.

She pulled the man's palm on top of her head very gently, and held it with her small hands, which she obviously couldn't cover. Finally, she let the man's palm touch her faintly chilled cheek.

"I am the youngest daughter in the family. My father always said that I am the jewel in his palm. He gave me the most beautiful name, which will definitely add glory to our family in the future."

"However, my father and mother are very kind to me, and there is always a sense of distance for some reason. And my brothers and sisters are too different from me in age, it seems that there is no way to get close since childhood..."

Eddie heard her say this, and already noticed that something was wrong.

However, it was not convenient for him to interrupt for the time being, so he frowned, looked at Nefertari with a somewhat apprehensive, but more expectant expression, and gazed into his own eyes, full of longing.

This is more anticipated than when she asked Eddie to take her somewhere in the past, and it is indeed the wish she most hopes to be fulfilled at this moment.

"Although I always call you Lord Eddie, in my heart, Lord Eddie is my closest elder, and also the elder who cares about me the most and indulges me the most."

"So..." Nefertari bit her lips a little, and when she spoke again, her eyes were extremely firm.

She said to Eddie, "Can I get the honor of calling you brother?"

Eddie froze.

He didn't know what Nefertari was thinking when she said these words.

One is guilt.

I mentioned that I want to learn magic from Eddie, not because of curiosity or an attempt to unknown things, but as mentioned earlier, simply because I want to get closer to myself and not be left behind.

The results, however, were particularly bleak.It didn't matter what happened to her, what bothered Nefertari the most was that she seemed to have caused Lord Eddie to get hurt.

What exactly happened, Eddie didn't say much, but Nefertari had a very bad premonition.

I can't go on being willful anymore, even if Lord Eddie will continue to tolerate her.

As a small reward—

And one last bit.

"I hope you can give me blessings as an elder brother. If... elder brother is willing, I think, become your family."

——I regard you as the most important person, so I hope that even if you are so lonely, you who are so gentle and willing to show kindness to strangers can also be happy.

A place where you can stay at any time, simply summed up, is "home".

It sounds very simple, but it's more than that.

Nefertari couldn't help looking away, and saw the courtyard gate standing in the distance, looking nervously and vigilantly at the maids here.

What they were wary of was not her, but the man beside her.

Not only because of the man "leading badly" her, and not only because of the "miracle" a few months ago, but more because of the estrangement of the man himself.

In this country, wherever he went, he was out of place.Even in the palace where he stayed the longest, the situation will not change in the slightest.

Unfathomable strength is only one of the influencing factors.

His appearance, his presence, his danger.After spending five years here, the former young prince has grown into a tall and mighty young man, but he has not changed at all from his youthful appearance five years ago, and there is no sign of aging, as if time has stagnated on him forever.

It is impossible to speculate what "something" he is, so they all stay at a respectful distance.

Nefertari can understand the feelings of those who choose to keep men out, but even if she understands, she still feels very sad.

Why didn't anyone take the initiative to accept him?He is so good, why does he always have to wander on the endless road without stopping.

and so.

and so……

"I hope." Nefertari spoke again.

"Brother, I can prepare a home for you where you can come and stay anytime. If you want to leave, I will be right here, waiting for you to come back next time."

"........."

Eddie couldn't speak for a moment.

He couldn't question Nefertari's wish, because it was indeed the most sincere and simple wish.

Put forward such a wish, so that he can realize it most easily.

Nefertari himself didn't get much benefit, but he was comforted by a teenage girl.

"This is the gift you want? Did you want to surprise me by saying such mature words suddenly?"

Eddie was in a complicated mood.

"I've thought too much about it. What is it like to give me a home... I can't stand it. I can't bear it. If I become homeless one day, can't I find a place to stay?"

Nefertari even joked: "If there is a day when there is nowhere to stay, not only me, but Oz will also be very happy to be your family."

The corner of Eddie's mouth twitched: "Yeah, after you two get married, aren't you a family?"

"That's not what it means." Nefertari smiled: "Although the engagement is there, but ~ Ozzy and I should still be friends."

Eddie: "..."

He couldn't figure out what the little girl was laughing at with such a sly smile.

but.

"I agree to your wish. From now on, I will be your elder brother. It's just a matter of title, and it's no different from before."

Just as Nefertari breathed a sigh of relief, and a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes, Eddie continued: "Then, as your elder brother, I have even more reason to intervene in your affairs."

Nefertari: "...Huh!"

Eddie withdrew his hand.Of course, before she took it back, she pinched the face of this silly girl who was so preoccupied and trying to pretend to be mature.

"……pain."

"It's okay to be in pain."

Eddie crossed his arms and glanced at Nefertari with questioning eyes.

"Don't you think I'm the kind of irresponsible big brother who looks at his sister with a sad face?"

impossible.

In this way, he will intervene even more.

The plan does not need to be thought about carefully, and it is quickly put on the agenda.

A little bit unexpectedly, a certain boy he picked out to be his helper was unexpectedly reasonable——Ozymandias agreed without even giving a reason for his persuasion.

"Leave it to me! I already knew that Nefertari liked Moses. It would make her and my brother-in-law happy. How could I refuse. Hmm! That's great. Nefertari, you are really a Smart woman! I will keep this help in my heart."

Eddie: "..."

Why do you feel that Ozymandias is obviously the one whose marriage was repented, but he is happier than the one who proposed to renege on it?

No, it's more than "happy", it's overjoyed.

Well, anyway, as long as Ozymandias is willing to help, Eddie doesn't bother to ask him if he's playing dumb again.

--However.

——It was precisely because he thought it was troublesome and didn't pursue it, which led to the appearance of "that scene" that he almost couldn't react to in the near future.

Fast forward a few months and Ozymandias' birthday arrives.

On the prince's birthday, in the name of celebrating privately, he dragged his brother-in-law out of the palace, and dragged him all the way to a creek that he couldn't be more familiar with.

When they arrived, Nefertari had already been taken to the stream by Eddie on the grounds of relaxation.

The two men and women who had been kept in the dark at the same time suddenly met their eyes. Apart from surprise, there was actually a strange feeling sprouting in their hearts.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere became ambiguous without any trace.

Eddie originally wanted to stand beside the young man who was looking at each other affectionately - it was the first time in his life that he made a bridge, and he didn't show any cowardice when he did such a motherly thing, on the contrary, he was unrestrained.Now it is natural to witness the whole process from the side, what is the problem?

"No! Teacher, come with me!"

Ozymandias dragged him away without any explanation.

Eddie was furious.

He happened to watch the young people staring at each other for a long time, and Moses took the lead to take a step forward, gently placing the flower in his palm next to Nefertari's ear.

This scene with a strong sense of sight unexpectedly stabbed the old wound in his heart. He was still savoring the rare sourness in his heart, and the brewing emotions were disturbed by the dead boy.

In this regard, the reason given by the dead boy is:

"today is my birthday."

"so?"

"You gave Nefertari a gift, so what about mine?"

Eddie was just about to say how you compare with other girls, when he saw Ozymandias, who always had a sunny expression in front of him, suddenly darkened.

It didn't seem to have much to do with the fact that it was night and the light in the grove by the stream was even dimmer.

He had never shown such a serious expression to the "teacher".

Seriously, solemnly, without a doubt.In the golden eyes that are not blinded by the night, there is a dark tide surging.

"It has nothing to do with fairness or unfairness. Teacher, you must listen to me carefully."

Eddie was embraced from the front by him, and he thought that the apprentice who had grown up to be so childish still wanted to act like a baby at this time, so he let him hug him despite having a headache.

However, Ozymandias, who was hugging him, did not push forward as soon as he hugged him as usual.

Instead, slowly, like a cheetah lurking forward, after locking on its prey, it slowly approached him.

The first sentence that Ozymandias spoke again was extremely astonishing.

"I'm jealous of her. Nefertari."

"Because——Teacher, you are the person I value the most. Your every move, even just a look in your eyes, can attract my attention and then touch my heart."

Eddie stared at the young man who was about to touch his forehead, without turning his gaze or avoiding it.

At first he was still stunned, but soon, almost in an instant, he was sure.

Ozymandias, this kid is not joking, but serious like never before.The evidence is his eyes.

"You were the best for Nefertari and stayed with me the longest, which seemed fair, but I just couldn't stand it."

"Even if you're not as nice to Nefertari, even if it's just when I don't know it, you draw attention to someone who isn't me—not even a minute, a second, I can't stand it."

"After talking so much nonsense, to sum it up, you are jealous?"

Eddie frowned, apparently he didn't expect that Ozymandias, whom he had always regarded as thinking about how to defeat him, would have such thoughts in private.

However, it must also be admitted that he is indeed partial to Nefertari and Ozymandias.

"So, what do you want to express?" He asked.

"Gift." Ozymandias said without hesitation.

"... After all, I still want a gift, and you really—"

"No." Suddenly interrupted.

"I still want more, to make up for all the things you favored, teacher. Besides..."

At this moment, Eddie suddenly realized that Ozymandias had grown taller in the past few months.

What he said before was only "a little bit" to comfort his apprentice casually, but today, it was really only a little bit away.

At this moment, is it Ozymandias who is pouring out his breath?

Domineering and powerful, unwilling to be at a disadvantage, in the hidden undercurrent, there is even a faint looting.

"Teacher, you are not at all defensive against people you are familiar with or close to."

"Then pamper me a little more."

"As a man who admires you and longs for you."

He said so irresistibly.

"—I want to kiss you."
