Vishir's Invitation [Fourth Update]

To Egypt's ministers, Ye Ting's appearance at Nitocris's side came as quite a surprise.

Thus, during the council meeting, these ministers paid no attention to state affairs. Instead, they single-mindedly urged Nitocris to see that a man like Ye Ting was nothing more than a flashy fraud. A truly qualified pharaoh would never favor such a showy charlatan skilled only in strange tricks and frivolous crafts—that was the behavior of a foolish ruler who would bring ruin upon the nation.

Had this been before, when Nitocris had been forced to yield to the ministers' power, she would have agreed with nearly all their demands—like a human seal.

This time, however, the female pharaoh cast aside her usual weakness and forcefully refuted the ministers' opinions, insisting on keeping Ye Ting by her side.

Nitocris's change shocked the ministers.

All along, this female pharaoh's "good sense"—or rather, her weakness—had been what the ministers appreciated most.

For even though they held Egypt's actual power, the pharaoh's prestige was too deeply rooted in people's hearts. The vast majority of Egyptians still believed the pharaoh to be the descendant of gods in the mortal world.

Before they could completely alter the pharaoh's standing in the hearts of the Egyptian people, they still needed to preserve the institution of the pharaoh.

As a result, if they wished to control power, they had to maintain an obedient puppet pharaoh.

That was why they had chosen the "weak" Nitocris as pharaoh rather than any of her other brothers.

Yet now that Nitocris had suddenly "turned against" them over Ye Ting, there was little they could do to her.

After all, they could hardly just kill this pharaoh and replace her with someone more obedient.
