Hot water was gurgling on the big stove in the hotel kitchen.

Urania was walking up and down.

She was calling the attendants to put all the items prepared in the morning into the pre-arranged delivery room.

There, according to Erich's request, it has been decorated as a private, dry, airy and cool quiet house.

There is even a small basket made of papyrus in the room-this is a custom in Lower Egypt, in which newborns will spend their first night in the world.

Everything looks so warm and orderly.

However, Urania stopped occasionally, always feeling that the atmosphere in the hotel was very strange.

It was surprisingly quiet inside and outside the house—the houses near the hotel had all emptied out, and they all went to the Karnak Temple to avoid the strange beasts that might appear in the city.

Even the local attendants of the lodge sneaked away while no one was looking.The only ones left in the mansion were the people Erich brought from Lower Egypt, and most of them were taken away by Nanna and Gregor.There were only her and a few other people in the hotel.

Voices and shouts came from the direction of the Karnak Temple from time to time.But Urania couldn't judge the situation there, whether it was lively or dangerous.

The situation in the delivery room of the hotel is also very unique.

Erich sat on the delivery couch that had been prepared in advance, her clothes were meticulously dressed, and she was looking up at Senmut.

Senmut was also looking at her, and the two looked at each other, as if they were confronting each other.

However, Urania did not understand why the High Priest was able to enter the delivery room of the First Princess.

Ordinarily, women should not have men to participate in such things as women's childbirth.Most of them are relatives of the woman, female elders in the family, or specially invited midwives.

Unless it is a husband who is extremely affectionate and loves his wife like his life, he may lean on the door and cast an affectionate gaze on his beloved wife, and then be driven away by the female elders, so don't get in the way.

And the pharaoh will never be present when the children in the pharaoh's harem are born.Whether the child's biological mother is the first princess, or a woman who has no name at all.

However, here, in Thebes—the First Princess unexpectedly invited the High Priest into her room.

A thought flashed across Urania in an instant: Could it be that the high priest is the child's biological father?

Impossible——As soon as this ridiculous idea appeared, Urania denied it herself.

She has followed the first princess for a long time, so she can naturally feel that the first princess has a certain degree of trust in the high priest, but she has no special affection.

Moreover, she was also in the Memphis palace when the princess was favored and fell out of favor. Naturally, she knew that the high priest was patrolling other nomes all the year round, and was not in Memphis at all.

Before the pharaoh ordered the execution of the princess, the high priest and the princess had no intersection at all.Naturally, the high priest cannot be the father of the child.

Who knows, after thinking about it like this, Urania felt a little regretful—why isn't the high priest the child's biological father?Obviously... the princess and the high priest are so right, and the high priest is so gentle, unlike the pharaoh...

Erich didn't know that her personal maid secretly wanted to match her and Senmut.She looked into Senmut's golden eyes now and whispered, "You don't have to."

Senmut lowered his eyes, but his eyelashes kept trembling, as if trying to endure something.

Then his fair-skinned cheeks turned red, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.He bit his lower lip tightly with his teeth, but refused to cry out the pain.

Ailixi watched as a tear appeared from the corner of his eye, she sighed secretly in her heart, thinking: This guy, with such a high personality, is always so gentle and indifferent at ordinary times, who knows how to endure In the small matter of pain, it seems that she is not as good as her.

But the other party was indeed taking the initiative to help her relieve the pain, and she didn't complain——Alich couldn't bear it for a while, and stretched out her hand to Senmut, allowing him to hold it tightly.

"It's agreed that we must take turns to bear the pain—"

"You also need to maintain your physical strength now. After all, you don't know what will happen to Thebes in the future... I thank you for your willingness to help me relieve the pain, but I need you to be able to cope with all possible crises spiritually..."

This is a fact that Erich and Senmut discovered together in the Swimmer's Cave-as long as Senmut is willing, he can help Erich bear all the pain in her body.

That was the case in the Swimmer's Cave, where Senmut took on all the pain of overflowing her promotion, allowing her to sort out all the energies in her body and advance smoothly without distraction.

But at that time, it was okay to say: first, they are both Asut, and it seems that it is not so unusual for the gods to help each other;

Second, the pain of being promoted is far less painful and prolonged than it is now...

Anyway, Alixi never thought about asking the high priest to help her give birth.

This is her and Pharaoh's child. If Erich herself has a way to divert the pain, she must find a way to make Pharaoh feel it instead of letting the high priest get involved.

But who would have thought that in order to help her, Senmut directly smashed the evasion that had been carefully repaired by the craftsmen.

Alicia couldn't refuse such a determination for a while, so she could only reluctantly accept it.

But this incident completely overturned her perception of men.

Senmut has been a unique man to her ever since.

At this moment, Erich watched as the pain on Senmut's expression eased slightly, and she understood that the peak of another labor pain was gradually passing.

"Urania, don't worry, you won't be able to give birth so soon..."

When Alixi said this, she felt a bit like a scumbag who stood up and talked without back pain.

"Now go tell everyone to close the gate of the hotel."

Urania's eyes widened in surprise: "This... is it closed? I made an appointment with Mrs. Ferrin before..."

Ailixi had made an appointment with Mushana before, and when she was about to give birth, she would invite some female elders from Mushana's family to come to the hotel to help.But now, Alixi knew in her heart that foreign aid should not be counted on.

"Urania, the one I trust in this matter is you—"

"You read the papyrus scroll sent by Mrs. Felin so seriously, and you have been listening and remembering carefully when those older ladies came to talk about childbirth... Urania, in this kind of At that time, if I don’t trust you, who else can I trust?”

Alixi knew that no one would come to the hotel to help her for the time being, so she had to prepare for the worst.

So she spared no effort to enthusiastically encourage her personal maid—with Urania's earnestness and enthusiasm, Erich felt that there should be no problem for this girl to be a midwife in the future.The only thing Urania lacked was experience.

And the only thing she can do now is to encourage Urania.

The young personal maid blushed excitedly after receiving the trust and encouragement from the First Princess.

Urania ran out immediately, and Erich heard her calling the attendants in the hotel to close the door.

Erich herself took the clean linen she had prepared for herself in advance, and carefully wiped the sweat off Senmut's forehead——

At this moment, she suddenly felt that Senmut might indeed be a shoulder to rely on-but unfortunately, she was never used to relying on anyone.

Senmut opened his eyes just at this time and sent her a tired smile.

"It's okay, Your Highness, my spirituality... won't be easily depleted because of this."

Alicia met his eyes.

The man's golden eyes seemed to be getting lighter - Erich thought: the first time she met the High Priest, the eyes seemed to be golden brown.But now it is pure gold, even as light as the morning sun.

This brilliant golden color made Alixi feel better.Her lips turned up, and the joy immediately affected Senmut, making his good-looking eyes bend gently, as if he could feel her joy, then everything he experienced and endured was worth it.

"That's good...you, rest for a while, if you really can't bear it, you don't have to hold on, it's me—"

Before Alicia could finish her sentence, the dangerous premonition of the two was touched at the same time. She and Senmut turned their heads to look at the door of the delivery room at the same time.

At some point, a tall figure stood at the door of the delivery room.

This is a muscular man, wearing a simple waistcoat with his upper body exposed.However, on top of his bronze-colored body was a jackal's head.

Is this the Angel of Anubis?

No, it's not—

Ailixi grabbed a whistle from the table without hesitation, and blew it quickly with a beep, which could be heard clearly in the entire hotel.

This is a signal to inform the subordinates in the mansion to evade in time—in order to avoid the tragedy of the two maids being implicated last time, Erich came up with this method to let the servants in the mansion hear the sound After the whistle sounded, he quickly evaded on the spot.No matter what you hear, don't come out to find out.

At least Urania heard the whistle and stopped rashly rushing into the delivery room.

The whistle sounded sharply, but the animal head standing at the door did not move.

Erich knew that this was absolutely impossible to be the Anubis envoy - the original Anubis envoy Opt had been promoted to the priest of the gods, and it was impossible to still retain the form of a jackal-headed human body.

But the one who appeared in front of them still had a jackal head on his head.

But... he feels so familiar to others, his bronze-colored body, the simple-looking waistcoat, and the skirt nails painted with ship-shaped symbols on the waistcoat... this is not the envoy of Anubis , who would it be?

However, the original pair of warm dark brown eyes on the head of the beast-headed Anubis angel had completely disappeared, replaced by a pair of dark hollows.In the pair of hollows, there are two clusters of crimson flames dancing.

Ellie hoped for the pair of flames, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in her heart.

Senmut shook Erich's hand in turn, and said, "Be careful, this is the dead form of the Angel of Anubis—"

"The form of the dead...high priest, you mean..."

In fact, without any further explanation from Senmut, Erich already felt a burst of grief welling up in her heart.

She was certain that Opt, the priest of Anubis, was dead.

And the last time she asked him for help, it was the last time they met.

And she even resented him a little...

The Angel of Anubis who brought her back from the brink of death, had great sympathy for her, and provided countless times of help——

"Please grief……"

Senmut sensed her sadness, her doubts, her anger, and even a little remorse.However, he only had such a weak request.

Because even if the living and Elyse are old, the Anubis angel in the form of the dead may still be hostile to Elyse, and the two sides may immediately conflict.

Senmut is warning Alixie in disguise.

Erich quickly calmed down, she quietly held Senmut's hand tighter, and pulled his body closer.

In this way, in case the opponent suddenly attacks, Erich can also cover Senmut within her defense range.

Unexpectedly, the Anubis envoy who walked in with big strides turned his body slightly sideways to make way for a passage, allowing a person behind him to reveal his figure.

It was a man who was taller and stronger than the Angel of Anubis, possessing a complete human form.

The only abnormality is that the positions of his eyes are also two empty black holes at the moment.In the depths of the black hole, it seems that a little pale flame is jumping.

"He's looking for you—"

From the mouth of the Angel of Anubis who turned his body, this sentence almost popped out word by word.

Erich quickly looked at this strong man who was a head taller than the Angel of Anubis, and looked at his hat ornaments, neck ornaments and wrist ornaments.

She wanted to find some clues to lock the identity of the visitor.

Suddenly, Erich found the answer in a hat worn on the visitor's head——

It was a statue of a scorpion made of gold, with its tail raised high, as if it would attack the enemy immediately.

This inspired Alicia to blurt out: "Scorpion King, you are the Scorpion King—"
