I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 10 The Conspiracy of Euphemia

"Ophemia, you are here."

Hearing the movement behind him, the priest of holy ceremonies, Cleantes, said in a low voice.

"Yes, my dear uncle." Euphemia said, she straightened her white robe and decorations, then glanced at the little priest and servants on both sides, the latter immediately understood what she meant, and walked out of the temple.

Because the news of Euphemia's coming was announced in advance, there were no other visitors in the temple. After the little priest and servants left, only Euphemia and Cleantes remained.

"I think I made it very clear last time, Euphemia." Claire said in a deep voice, his words were full of unfamiliarity: "That was the last time I helped you, and since then, we have never It matters."

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman's deliberately suppressed laughter sounded in the hall. Claire's face turned cold when he heard it, and he stared coldly at the most powerful woman in the kingdom.

"My dear uncle, I don't know if it's because you have been with Zeus all the time, and you lack the judgment you should have." The woman's voice sounded again, and her tone was ridiculed.

"What do you mean?" The old priest's face became a little colder, and the temperature around him seemed to drop a few degrees.

But Euphemia didn't care at all, she looked at her uncle with that superior look, and said contemptuously: "My dear uncle, if I publish what you did back then, I don't know if you can accept it from God. The altar slams down and the bottom hurts."

"you!"

The old priest's complexion changed drastically, and he became very ugly. He stared at Euphemia, and said word by word, almost gritting his teeth: "Ophemia, you promised me that as long as I help you change God Please don't mention it any more."

"Oh." Euphemia sneered, and said, "I really don't want to laugh at you, but, my dear uncle, didn't Zeus tell you not to trust women's promises lightly, especially the promises of beautiful women?"

"..." Claire was silent.

Seeing that he was silent, Euphemia also stopped the topic just in time, caressing the ring inlaid with gemstones on her finger casually, said: "My dear uncle, I am looking for you this time to let you Continue to help me with one..."

"impossible"

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the roar of Cleantes. Euphemia glanced at the angry-eyed old man in surprise, and then quickly recovered, saying: "In this case, then I can only order someone to announce the evil things you committed back then. If the nobles and citizens of Macedonia knew that the high priest who was not offended in their hearts had raped his niece, they might be driven into the temple by anger. Beat you to death in the face of Zeus."

Her tone was very flat, as if it wasn't her who was violated back then, but another insignificant person.

Hearing this, Cleantes' body visibly trembled a few times, his face became extremely ugly, he suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"Simple, perform a divination and depose the king of Antigonus in the name of Zeus."

"what?"

Claire's voice suddenly rose a few degrees, and he looked at Euphemia in surprise, unable to believe it.

"Don't look at me with that look." Euphemia said lightly, "Antigon has already sought the support of those tribes behind my back, and it is said that there are still many people who support him. If I don't respond, maybe Before long, the army supporting Antigonus will attack the door."

"After deposing Antigonus, who can become the new king?" The old priest asked, "As far as I know, King Philip has only one heir, Antigonus."

"Of course it's time to find another person who can be controlled." Euphemia said, she already had a suitable candidate in her heart, but it was a bit tricky to operate, and the nobles in Pella City probably would not agree.

Speaking of those nobles, Euphemia couldn't help recalling what the eyeliner reported to her. Antigonus, the boy, has become more and more escaped since he escaped from the dead. He sent people to lobby the tribes outside the city for support. Through the relationship with his fellow cavalrymen who grew up with him, he contacts various nobles in the city.

There was not much time left for her.

Euphemia shook her head and brought her consciousness back to reality. She looked at her uncle in front of her and said in a semi-command tone: "You'd better prepare for divination in public quickly. If you wait until Antigonus attacks, it will be too late." .”

"..." Cleantes really wanted to say the words of refusal, but when he thought of Euphemia's threat, the words of refusal stuck in his throat, he could only swallow them forcefully, and finally nodded helplessly, Said: "I see, I will prepare immediately and hold it within a month."

"Very good." Ophemia nodded, then turned and left.Watching her leaving back, Cleantes clenched his fists, veins bulging in his hands, and he slowly released them after a long time.

He turned to look at the statue of Zeus made of pure gold, and couldn't help crying bitterly. Dirty tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, ran across his cheeks, and wet the white robe on his body.

"Great God Zeus, please forgive me, please forgive me..."

……

At the same time, Antigonus didn't know that a conspiracy was going on against him, and he was listening to the report of the captain of the general's guard, Kronos, beside him.

The efficiency of the companion cavalry was very high. Through their narration, the elders in the family knew what Euphemia had done and were extremely indignant.At first, because of the so-called oracle, they had to agree to let Euphemia, a female stream, become the regent of the new king. Later, seeing that Euphemia and her supporters managed the kingdom's government affairs in an orderly manner, they no longer objected. However, they never imagined that Euphemia would dare to imprison the king and put him under house arrest.

The nature of this matter is different, almost equivalent to treason.

In order to maintain the authority of the king, some nobles who knew the truth began to gather and went into the Vagina Palace to attack Queen Euphemia Asia Pacific. Their actions were leaked by the Queen Mother's eyeliner one step ahead, so Euphemia had already responded , took out the pre-prepared rhetoric and fooled the nobles for a while, and escaped unharmed.

However, the nobles' attack was still effective. Queen Eupheemia promised them that she would gradually return the king's due power.

What he said was beautiful, but Euphemia knew very well in his heart that Antigonus would be kicked out of power soon anyway, and it would not be impossible to let him get some points now.
