Chapter 1192: Simba's choice

   Chapter 1192 Simba's Choice

  After coming out of the courtroom, Pomona tried to find her way back to the Louvre.

  However, as soon as she opened the door, she stepped on an empty space under her feet. When she stood still in shock, she found herself standing in a huge fireplace.

  Just now, he was still like a rainbow, and Napoleon, who was very glamorous, looked desperate and embarrassed at this moment. His hair is a bit long, his beard is not shaved, he is wearing leather clothes, fur, and boots, and he seems to be walking around in front of the fireplace to keep him warm.

   "Looks really pitiful, right?" A beautiful dark-skinned woman in a snow-white linen dress sat on a box and looked at him with pity on her chin.

   "Who...who are you?" Pomona stammered, shaking her elbows in her hands because of the cold.

  "Is this the question you most want to know?" The Egyptian woman asked Pomona with a smile.

   "What happened?" Pomona asked again.

   "Before your lover wins chess, you have to stay with me as a hostage," the beauty said readily.

   "Then those just..." Pomona pointed behind her, although there was nothing there.

   "Of course it is a dream. Sometimes you will dream of the past or the future?" The beauty smiled mysteriously.

   "But I can talk to Napoleon in my dream." Pomona looked at the first ruling who kept murmuring again, and he seemed to be going crazy.

"Whenever he is busy with things, he always hopes to save time by squeezing sleep, but the consequences of doing so are often not worth the loss. He often falls asleep at his desk in broad daylight. You know how men like to dream. "The beauty stood up. Although she is not as tall as a supermodel, her proportions are very good. The belt made of sedge is tied around her slender waist, and the fringe swayed slightly with her movements. Then she opened the wooden box in which she was sitting, and inside it was a bronze bust.

  "This is my former residence, can you imagine?" The beauty kept shaking her head, "I actually live in a sculpture of a man."

   "You live in the statue?" Pomona asked suspiciously.

  "I came here with him from Egypt. One day, he slept by a wall, and that place used to be a room for ‘incubation’ in my temple."

  Pomona has a stupid idea in her head.

  "Are you Hathor?" she asked stupidly.

  "Is it because I am not beautiful enough? That's why you think I am not?" The beauty turned a circle in front of Pomona, and her skirt spread out like ripples in a pond.

   "No." Pomona said weakly.

  "You are so smart, then do you know why I made you wake up in the place just now?" Hathor, who appeared in the image of Nefertari, asked.

   "Am I in trouble?" Pomona asked.

"What do you think?" Hathor tilted his head, with a cute look. Originally a mature and beautiful woman is not suitable for being cute like a girl, but she looks very natural with this expression, which makes people unhappy. Come.

   "Where are we now?" Pomona asked.

"The room with seven fireplaces. This used to be Louis XIV’s bedroom. He had a lot of dreams here." Hathor covered the wooden box again and sat on it again. "Napoleon also likes dreaming, but very big Most of them are related to the military and his magnificent empire. I let him make a choice..."

   "Can you start from the beginning?" Pomona interrupted Hathor. "I don't understand what you are talking about."

  "Then you answer my question just now, why should I wake you up in the room just now?" Hathor asked.

   "Because I'm in trouble." Pomona said guiltyly.

"It's because of military discipline, stupid girl." Hathor kept shook his head. "Napoleon himself had done arbitrarily leaving the team. For example, when he returned to France from Egypt, the soldiers were sometimes like a group of animals. Only the military police and military laws could control them When Napoleon invaded Egypt, no country in the world could produce wheat, rice, vegetables and meat like Egypt, but the barbarism here was also at its peak. Mamluks were slaves who served the Arab Caliphs, and Mamluks were also slaves. Meaning, they have strong combat capabilities, but after they occupy Egypt, they will only gain wealth by occupying more land and increasing taxes on farmers and businessmen. Farmers can only resist taxes by running away. They really don’t know anything about financial management. In the end, he didn’t even have money to pay the army. Napoleon prohibited soldiers from looting the locals and did not allow anyone to enter the mosque. His soldiers could only stay in the barracks except for fighting. Mamluk cavalry often wore gold on their bodies. That's why the French soldiers pursued them. He would not take the spoils, but soldiers were forbidden to fight for the spoils. The front line is not the rear. War is a **** full of crime and chaos. Tired soldiers need to rest, so There is a woman near the barracks..."

   "Stop talking." Pomona stopped Hathor. "Please stop polluting my soul."

"He didn't punish those people, he just smeared the faces of the women with black mud, let them show up for two hours, and then let them go, doing it for serious military discipline, and he did bring something different to Egypt. He wanted to open the Suez Canal, but at that time the land was occupied by Arabs. He risked being attacked and wandered through the desert. There were no roads, no water, and the Black Death began to spread in the army again, and they were exhausted. Traveling to the extreme poles, four people together carry a seriously wounded person, and scholars can ride on donkeys. Because the British blocked the sea, he didn’t know what happened in Paris until one day, a merchant ship broke through the blockade and brought intelligence. The Ottoman Empire was planning to wipe out the French army from the sea. It was in such an environment that he was tired and slept at the root of an ancient wall. He had a dream there. I asked him, do you want to be Augustus, still has a happy family, guess what he chose?"

  Pomona thinks of Napoleon’s difficult love journey, and suddenly understands his choice.

"When he woke up, the wall he was leaning against collapsed, and there was an Augustus head in his hand. That was my first residence." Hathor looked at the raunchy Napoleon. He said, "Soon after he returned to Cairo, there was news from Paris that his wife Josephine was living with a man. That person used to be Josephine’s dance teacher. Josephine never received a letter from Napoleon. Letter, the newspapers were full of rumors from his opponents, saying that the Egyptian expedition failed, Josephine was lucky to survive the French Revolution, and she owed a debt of 2 million francs."

   "What?" Pomona couldn't help but exclaimed.

  "Which part surprised you so much?" Hathor asked, "Josephine and the former dance teacher are rekindling, or is she still owed a huge amount?"

"This money, no, oh, my head." Pomona clutched her head, plus the 3 million francs that Josephine owed before his death, and the debt alone is 5 million. How many men in this world can Raise a "French noblewoman".

"Before Napoleon had made his fortune, he only needed half a franc for lunch every day. He went to the theater at night and wanted the cheapest seat. It was 20 francs a month and only used one servant. It only cost more than 300 francs a month. Napoleon was in Waterloo. After the defeat, he spent 6 million francs in exchange for the goodwill of the Poles, although most of the 300,000 soldiers that Napoleon lost in that war came from Poland."

  Pomona opened her mouth again.

"Don't you know? His expedition only used a few Frenchmen. The soldiers damaged in the war were all from Germany and Poland. Women in Paris were willing to spend money to buy jewelry." Hathor said, "Except for Joseph. Fen, he also has a few sisters who love to put on the air of princesses, and those jewelers may have earned an empire."

   "He helped her pay off the debt?" Pomona couldn't help but ask.

   "You mean Napoleon helped Josephine?" Hathor asked.

   "That's right."

   "Of course I paid it back."

   "He knew Josephine..."

   "When Napoleon returned to Paris, Josephine didn't know that he really came back. Napoleon's family told him all about her scandal."

   "I don't understand their relationship." Pomona raised her head and shook her head. "What is he thinking?"

"I told you that I let him choose. He chose to be Augustus. When he was in Cairo, he had a little Cleopatra, who was the wife of a second lieutenant, and she joined the army in disguise as a man. High-ranking military officers carry their families and mistresses. This is a privilege in the army. However, Napoleon did not carry mistresses like Murat and the others. After learning about Josephine’s betrayal, he let the officer go back to Paris on a business trip. Paired with that little Cleopatra on the streets of Cairo."

   "Is this ‘revenge’?" Pomona asked.

"I told you that I let him choose. He chose to become Augustus. He has a clear mind when dealing with political affairs, but his love luck is not so good." Hathor shook his straight calf very much. He said leisurely, "For Napoleon at that time, he believed more in the power of wisdom than in the sword in his hand. If an average man heard that his wife was contaminated by someone, he would draw a sword to a duel, but Napoleon just took that person I was driven out of the army, but Josephine still figured out a way to make his dance teacher a supplier to the army."

   "So this is your curse?" Pomona asked Hathor.

"Whether it is a barbarian or a civilized person, he needs a master, teacher, and magician to curb his imagination, discipline him strictly, tie him a chain, and prevent him from barking untimely. He doesn't deserve to be better. He has no power, and he has no power." Hathor said, "You can treat Josephine as the'master' who tied Napoleon to the chain. In their relationship, she is absolutely dominant."

   "Who said that just now?"

   "Napoleon."

  Pomona understands.

   "Then why did he begin to believe in the sword in his hand?" Pomona asked.

"When he started to discover that no one around him could be trusted. Whether it was a woman, a former friend or his relatives, Napoleon’s greatest enemy was not the Russians, nor the British, but himself. He lost the empire, But he got an angel-like lover." Hathor smiled ambiguously, "Josephine never gave birth to children, she herself gave birth, so that Napoleon thought he lacked some natural ability of a man. The Polish lady told him not to leave the tent for two days. Not only did she give him a child, but when she heard the good news, Louisa was also pregnant and gave birth to the future King of Rome."

   "You like this'pet' very much, don't you?" Pomona asked with a smile.

   "I really want to know what kind of story it would be if he chooses a family." Hathor shook her beautiful calf, making it tickling.

   "Maybe he is afraid that he will become the prince of Troy."

"Prince Troy is hereditary. He is not." Hathor looked at Napoleon and sighed. Not helpful."

   "What was his original dream?"

  "Through this marriage, the new and the old are combined. The royal family needs new blood to integrate. You know how much the blood curse of Queen Victoria has had an impact on the entire European royal family."

   "It seems this is a long story. Would you like to drink tea? My goddess?"

   "I haven't figured out how to punish you yet."

  "Just forgive me~~~" Pomona ran to Hathor and shook her arm desperately.

  Hator's body temperature is very low, and it feels like a cold stone.

   "The queens are going to dance for me, how about you go dancing?" Hathor said, "It just so happens that you got a new instrument."

   "Aye, sir." Pomona saluted Hathor, and then stood in the middle of the hall.

  At this time, she realized that the pattern on the ground looked abnormal.

  It is the symbol of the flower of life in Egypt. It is said to represent the source of the beauty of life, as mysterious as the source of the Nile.

    After Napoleon was defeated in Waterloo, he took a sleigh back to Poland and stayed in a hotel called England. Napoleon asked the treasurer to pay 6 million francs urgently.

     In addition, Napoleon invaded Germany. As an Austrian princess, how did Louisa deal with the relationship between her husband and father?

     The military discipline was too strict, and the soldiers were not all fond of Napoleon. It was difficult to survey the Suez Canal. Death and thirst made the army almost mutinous. At this time, Josephine was busy dancing and falling in love with the dance teacher in Paris.

     So the two of them are really not people in the same world.
